U.S. and British Volunteers in the Ukraine destroy a BTR-80 IFV:

Yay! More dead RuZZians.


What a great day this is turning out to be.

The Ukrainian Army crashes an Orc "party" that was scrounging up AV and musical instruments:

Bingo! The Gross Domestic Product of Ukraine is about $156 billion. $40 billion is a good chunk of what the whole country is worth. It’s ridiculous.

Russia has never been a Democracy in it’s whole history. It went from a monarchy to communism to Czar Putin. When I hear people cry democracy is gone in Russia I just go it never had it.

Yeltsin's era was somewhat democratic and even the early part of Putty's regime there was still some freedom left. The 1917-18 Kerensky Gov't espoused democratic socialism but never had a chance with the continuation of WWI and the breaking Civil War...

That being said we have other kingdoms in the world. Dubai in the UAE is ran by a king. Singapore is ran by a dictatorship. Nobody seems to care about those because they play ball. Putin doesn’t. Putin doesn’t like the banking cartels that have huge influence over the west and much of the world.

Most countries in the world are not ran by good people. It’s the way it is. But countries go to war with other countries over not cooperating economically or another country wanting to raid it’s resources. Russia has always been a maverick and has a history of irritating Europe’s elite. History is just repeating itself.

Not sure what your point is by shithole listing, but if you think Putin gives any sort of fuck about "banking cartels" you're fucking higher than you normally seem. The only thing he really cares about is keeping power, which may not matter much longer because he seems to be close to the end. And the "history repeating itself" chestnut. Next you'll be spewing more "history is written by the winners!" cliches.

Tell me what part of history this is repeating?

The Ukraine has very little strategic interest to the US. It’s a convenient distraction and excuse to plunder and to take the attention off our domestic problems but wait until the stock market crashes and the economy goes really south from the ripple effect. People’s attention will be back here and Ukraine flag waiving will be a past fad.

Putin has made a lot of Americans rich with this war. Like I told you, that $40 billion military "aid" package passed by America's corrupt Congress was mere window dressing. Almost all of it will end up in the pockets of corrupt officials and criminals, just like the “aid” provided by the US during the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. See how that works, slave Lake Erie SESH?

Putin is not just some sales rep for the Oligarchs, he is the head one. He maybe didn't start out that way but he is now. The estimates of his wealth seem to vary between $200 and $400 billion.

Probably bullshit internet hyperbole. but it's said that a large number of Russian Army "contract professionals" are up on Saturday, May 28 and no longer under gov't control. We'll see if we have mass quitting then!

If you are really hardcore with the hate, a site dedicated to Russian death pics that are often sent to their mothers or family, WARNING graphic and horrific:

It should be noted that the vast majority or Soviet rapes and other crimes were not committed by frontline combat soldiers but by follow on rear echelon forces far less disciplined. The Soviet high command would eventually become quite alarmed

I'm not sure about that as I thought it started immediately in for example Berlin. Also not really sure what difference it makes whether the rape of literally millions is by frontline or reservists to be honest,

[Nitro Express]

Probably another dead RuZZian or two but don't tell slave Lake Erie SESH it'll upset his sensitivity towards rapists, criminals and sadistic torturers.

The only thing that would make you happier is if Jimmy Page was there.

I do think there are some deep grained cultural differences at work somewhere. Going back to WW2 I find it difficult to imagine any circumstances where US, UK, Canadian or Australian troops could ever be involved in the systematic and repeated rape of 1.8 million females from children to elderly women. Maybe I'm being naive but I think there is a different mindset at least in their approach to warfare.

I think the leadership has a lot to do with it. The Soviet leadership didn’t care or encouraged it. Eisenhower or his field leaders weren’t saying rape the women and if they found out that was going on there would be punishment.

I’ve heard several Germans who were kids at the time say the American soldiers were really nice to them during the liberation and occupation. It was good to hear.

In no small part was the Soviet Red Army journalists like Ilya Ehrenburg posting "revenge articles". While he never called for the rape of German women, his articles and pamphlets went a long way towards fostering dehumanization of Germans overall. Of course, the Germans didn't exactly do much to contradict this with their brutal occupation practices and mass murders on the Eastern Front. Ehrenburg would later in the war write criticisms of the harsh and brutal treatment of German civilians by Soviet soldiers in Prussia...

It should be noted that the vast majority or Soviet rapes and other crimes were not committed by frontline combat soldiers but by follow on rear echelon forces far less disciplined. The Soviet high command would eventually become quite alarmed by the ill-discipline of their army and did finally crackdown at the end and postwar.

It also should be noted that Soviet soldiers did share rations with starving Germans after the war and worked hard to provide famine relief...

Obviously I want Russia to lose in the Ukraine I just don't cheerfully shout YAAAS!

Why not? The Ukrainians themselves seem to enjoy it so why not you? Oh right, you're a slave.
