Ukraine was never a nuclear power. Central government in Moscow was in charge of Soviet nuclear arsenal. Russian Federation is the legal successor of the Soviet Union.
After the break up of the Soviet Union and with Internationally accepted 1991 Russia's borders, U.S. still continued a policy of breaking up what was left of Russia. U.S. and British governments supported separatist movements in Chechnya and Dagestan. There were even plans for break away of...
False. Soviet Union was much smaller than pre-Soviet Russia and post-Soviet Russia is much smaller than Soviet Union. Significant loss of the territory at every stage.
More sources are reporting this story and it's not being denied by either side. There are actual names and faces that go with it, which makes it credible.
Russians knew about it all along, now they obtained evidence of NATO's direct involvement. This will be used during ongoing negotiations...
How many times this needs to be repeated. Russia will never accept a hostile terrorist state on its historic territory, populated by their own ethnos.
Russia can never be defeated, when it circles the wagons.
Strategic defeat of Russia or ceasefire are not the only possible outcomes in this proxi-war. Obviously Russia will choose a victory. Considering how it was treated, it has every right to.
Jealousy can make normal people do crazy things. When screwing someone's wife that needs to be understood. Sounds like play stupid games win stupid prices case, if that's what happened.
Russia's attacks on Ukrainian military mobilization centers is cheered and aided by Ukrainian people, who are getting sick and tired of being used as NATO's slaves.

Trump is trying to sit on two chairs, MAGA and neocon wings of the Republican party.
Russia will never be left alone, no matter what it does or who leads it.
All big non-Anglosaxon nations represent a threat to neocon idea of world domination. Multi-polar vs. One-polar world.
Things are heating up between Ukraine and Hungary after Hungarian citizen was beaten to death by Ukrainian conscription agents.
Also in Ukraine a Hungarian church was set on fire with graffiti calling for murder of Madyars (Hungarians)...
The video starts with a boldface lie, like many U.S. narratives on history. Finland lost Winter War, 11% of its territory and 30% of its industrial base. They tried to get it back by allying with Nazi Germany during WWII, but that failed as well.
Initially Soviets suffered a lot of casualties...
Epstein client list can be used as a leverage against very powerful people, here and abroad. If it is made public, that benefit goes away. Politics is a dirty business.
Hysterical mother trying to save her son from Ukrainian conscription agents, collapses in the middle of a street.

WTF is "grown adult"? Especially when it is coming from a guy in poorly fitted monkey costume.
I dropped this pissing contest long time ago, but your admirers here keep bringing it back.
So now it's the CIA who overthrew the Shah of Iran. Then they held themselves hostage at the American Embassy demanding his return from the U.S. to stand trial.
Beam me up Scotty.
Post your opinions, its a free country, but don't drag me into your fairytales. My world view is based on knowledge and experience, not on hollow narratives of partisan politics of this country.
Going back to my college years and on I have met a number of Iranians living here. All secular. Not one had anything positive to say about the Shah or CIA. Their reputation is ten times worse in Iran.
This is in London, not Teheran. CIA supported dictatorship of Shah, who was overthrown and had to flee the country, now they are trying to install his son.
What a bunch of fucking idiots, as if there are no history books or Iranians are illiterate.
Nation building nitwitary is still a thing...
This was the latest version of MOP, that was used on June 22
Penetration is only 200ft and even that is debatable. There is also a big assumption that we know accurate information of underground labyrinths.

The atomic bomb wasn't ready when Germany capitulated. U.S. Navy played only supportive role in defeat of Germany. The main battles that crushed German military were ground battles.
Germany had its own nuclear program and without being crushed by the Red Army it could have beat us to it.
There...
Actually Soviet Union was the the main force in defeat of Nazi Germany. This is simply a historical fact as much as it is swept under the rug in this country. By the time D day came along the outcome of the war was already decided on the Eastern front. When Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin met at...

The whole idea that Iranians would build these sites deeply buried, but easily accessible to old technology bombs in NATO arsenal is dumb. Common sense says if you are going to dig that far, dig some more down and sideways. You need to read intelligence report for that?
It's much easier for Iranians to feed us misinformation through double agents, than for Israel and US to recruit spies with access to secret information. They are not as backwards as many Westerners want to believe. They are smart and sophisticated people.
We can see where the entrances are, but no way the facilities will be under them or even close. There must be tunnels there that lead to the facilities well out of the way. Chances are nothing major was damaged.
Not exactly. Israel and the Soviet Union were allies until late 1953. Soviet Union smuggled arms into Israel through Czechoslovakia and supported Israel politically at the UN . Soviet military advisers trained Israeli forces. Then the relationship soured and Soviets started supporting Arabs...
In fact at the time Carter was criticized for taking in the Shah and creating the conflict, which could have been easily avoided. Shah could have fled to Panama to begin with. Moving him there after the fact didn't resolve the hostage stand off.
Russia has air superiority and can attack any target they want, but control of the territory can only be seized by a ground war.
Neither Israel nor U.S. control one square foot of Iranian territory. Apples and oranges.
Iranians held U.S. embassy staff hostages to force U.S. to hand over the Shah to stand trial. They hated him and his family that much. Carter refused. "We will not yield to blackmail" was repeated over and over by Carter Administration. Shah was moved to Panama where he died. I doubt his son...
Sorry, I don't have half an hour to watch this. This subject I know very well. Using a barrel block or reaction rod, you apply torque on the barrel/brl extension and the barrel nut. You don't want to apply torque to the barrel/brl extension. This is what can screw things up. You want to apply...
You can't have it both ways. If they are close to building a nuclear bomb, PLUS using nuclear energy for other peaceful uses, there is more there than what was leaked at Chernobyl from a single reactor. Your war mongering spin doesn't follow logic.
Reaction rod is not the best thing for barrel changes, it puts stress on barrel extension pin and can bend it. I change barrels every year for the past 27 years. Clam shell block is the best tool for barrel changes. It places torque on the receiver and barrel nut, leaving the barrel and barrel...
Really????????
They had a democracy and a good secular leader. We and the British overthrew his democratically elected government.
