Ukraine

The thing that worries me ATM is Winter in Ukrain, Poo-Tin is systematically cutting of water supplies and electricity for heating and evertything else. The winter campain for Ukrain will be even more brutal than it is now. Poo-Tin had the audacity to call the destruction of part the Russia, Crimea, on the Kerch Strait an "Act of terrorism"..........words fail me now...................

I predict if orcs from your brother Mordor would drop a nuke on St.Sofia cathedral in Kyiv in 5 minuted you'd post some shitty RT trash about "Yankees were first in Hiroshima" wouldn't you?I am glad you people still know that fact.
And that "Orcs" did not do it, but Yankees.I accidently gave that a thunbs up

It;s a pity that people have forgotten why the bombs were dropped, the horrific and brutal behaviour of the regime they were dropped on and the lives that were saved BECAUSE they were dropped.
The expected casualty figure should and invasion of the home islands be required is staggering.
Japanese women were making balloon bombs for dropping on the US mainland, and being executed for eating the potato based glue because they were literally starving.
I suppose that is inconvenient.
'Hell To Pay' Sheds New Light On A-Bomb Decision
The atom bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 killed — by some estimates — more than 200,000 people. In Hell To Pay, military historian D.M. Giangreco argues that the alternative, a land invasion of Japan, would have been many times more deadly. Japanese estimates, Giangreco says, set the figure at 20 million.
NPR (www.npr.org)
"It's astounding," he says. "While we were looking at some of our own casualty estimates, the Japanese military was doing much the same thing, and the figure of 20 million appears again and again."

Ukrainian soldiers swept into the southern city of Kherson on Friday,..
Good news.
On the other hand here in Iran, national internet is gonna be forced next week and most probably these are my latest posts here. -
Just got this today from Avaaz, a group I support.

I was in right up to the part where they say that entering my details means agreeing they can contact me whenever they want to. Big brother is indeed watching, not always just big brother either.

Here the big brother officially announces the usage of drones to detain the protesters, here is a sample:

This is a bit OTT for me but whatever floats your boat really. https://signmyrocket.com/
One way to make sure a voice or a thousand are heard but in the end I doubt it beyond raising money and makling folk feel good about themselves/feeling like they have made a difference.

I thought the Russian side could hardly get worse. I was wrong. Apparently a Ukrainian POW has been recorded while being beheaded by pro Russian actors (I know but apparently this is the term that should be used these days).
Ukraine vows to punish 'murderers' after video of an apparent POW beheading surfaces
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on condemned a video circulating online that the country’s security services said showed a Ukrainian being decapitated.
NBC News (www.nbcnews.com)
The internet is being flooded by apoligists for Putin's regime and false flag information. What a state for inhabitants of the world to be in.
-
It seems that the Russians really like getting punchy, or punched at any rate.
It was a thoroughly stupid move to be honest, did he expect a medal?
-
Does not this also replicate the reality: An old Russian politician stealthy tore the Ukrainian flag and then gets punched in the face by a young patriot Ukrainian Politician? Others intervene to settle down the conflict.
I hate conflict, why we can not play in a win-win manner? -
Россия победит! Победа будет за нами! А вы чем нас грязью поливать, лучше посчитайте сколько войн за этот век устроили США и сколько человек они загубили. Так что заткнитесь идиоты!
-
It would be too simple and far too logical for those leading nations. Personally, I do not believe Kindergarden students could do a worse job.
-
So, Russia is falling apart at the seams.
Wagner group have tired of being lapdogs for the Russian military and are moving away from Ukraine to Moscow to 'have it out' with senior Ruwsian leadership and the defence department ministers. Looks like the war could end soon. I can only hope.
-
It might result in harsh revenue for Wagner's head. But wherever the result will be, it would produce anarchy on the Russian side. It broke down the false face of unbeatable mighty man.

Oh, Russia has been shown to be a paper tiger that might have working nukes. FAR less expensive to keep an armored division working that thousands of nukes working in my opinion. I hope and pray for the Russian people.

I may not agree more,
Also, I pray for both sides,
unfortunately the politicians of where I live have tied our destiny to Russia... obviously wrong side! I hope Ukraine wins by the way... it will elevate the democracy... -
Sharing those prayers to Iran and it's people as well. Peace to you and all brother!
