Cuomo may be gone but his Gun Squad remains.
Back in the day, when we could still tell jokes, Whenever my lovely 100% Polish wife did something silly, I would say "No wonder the Germans took Poland so easily, they marched in backward and the Polocks thought they were leaving.
Now, I heard a report that A) there is no letter "Z" in the Russian Alphabet. and B) All the Russian equipment has the letter "Z" with tape on them to identify them as Ruskie as the Urkrainin equipment is the same or similar.
So, what is to stop the Ukies from using tape to put a "z" on their tanks and trucks?
Brilliant!

Make no mistake, if the United States were to be drawn into a "hot" war, we are the only empire to basically be continually at war since 1945.

No one does combined arms better than we do.

While the media plays up our "weakness" , no one comes close to the numbers, technology, or experience.

You're not enjoying the pictures of burning russian tanks? You were not cheered to hear about the planes full of paratroopers shot out of the sky?

None of that has any meaning. Lots of fakes and cross identifications. Most are exposed the next day.

The javelins are absolutely banging right now. The Russians must be livid they've had so much armor destroyed. No way they projected these types of losses.

Really curious to see how Russia responds to the US/NATO arming Ukraine with weapons being directly used as a main tactic to kill Russians and slow down their advance.

Will Russia do something to the US/NATO in response?

I dont think there is any need to worry about the war spreading at this point. If reports are correct, they have run into a hornist's nest and are in no position to confront NATO

I cant tell how much is real or not , I was watching the live cams last night during the assault on Kiev and there was nothing to be seen .no smoke, no fire, no flashes just really loud gunfire. were they really live or from 2 days ago? Dont know, I see a ton of false videos and reports from past years being posted as recent . Cant really tell what to believe.

I saw a video of a Russian infantry fighting vehicle driving through a city (not sure if Kharkov or Kyiv) and it was being hit with multiple molotovs. I seriously doubt it did much since it's armored but man the Ukrainians are fighting with ferocity.

It appears to me that the Russian offensive has bogged down and lost momentum.

But as you said it's near impossible to really know what is going on, what is accurate, what it truthful.

Russian military briefer just reported, they are resuming advancement. It was halted yesterday in anticipation of negotiations with the Ukrainian government. Ukrainian leadership first haggled about the place of the meeting and then pulled out all together.

Protests in Russia are not uncommon, dispite what our media tells you. There were protests with every military action. They just don't let it escalate into violence.

The very nature of truth is destroyed in the modern cyber world.

How often does complete horse shit get touted as truth here?


How often does truth, get torn down by voices saying it's not real. No real way for anyone to get "fact checked ".

Yes, Chechens are a unique form of animal..

Remember the Belsin school massacre, The Boston marathon. Yea, both Chechens. Make no mistake these are hired SS with no loyalty to anyone except Putin.

From another /thread/
"
Here’s a short summary. Essentially, there was a small group of Chechens in Russian organized crime in the 1990s. Dudayev (the first Chechen PM) was one and there was another guy, whose name I can’t recall right now N-something. He was the quiet intellectual type but a true believer in Chechen independence. Dudayev had a solid game going doing extortion and other violent crime in Moscow. This other guy came up with the innovation that part of your payment to them was you had to have a Chechen on staff, so they soon had a large enough pool of manpower that they started running off the Russian organized crime and developing a feared reputation even among Russian mobsters. Some of the proceeds were then funneled back to Chechnya to the independence movement.

Like a lot of guerrilla organizations who dabble in organized crime for funding, you get a “true believer” faction and a faction that likes money and power. After the first Chechen war, with Dudayev in charge, Grozny was kind of an open-air gangster market and the Chechens in Moscow were starting to rival the really deeply entrenched Russian mafia groups with ties to the FSB. The director of FSB around this time was part of the Yeltsin administration - a young guy named Vladimir Putin. He was soon appointed prime minister in 1999 and elected President after Yeltsin resigned. Just in time for the Second Chechen War to clean up Grozny and handle the threat to Russian mafia.

Ramzan Kadyrov is the son of a noted fighter/chief in the First Chechen War. He and his father favored the “money and power” side and were critical of some of the fundamental Islamists. When the Second Chechen war kicked off, the Kadyrovs sided with the Russians. The father was appointed President of Chechnya by Putin and Ramzan was his head of security until the father was assassinated by Islamists in 2004. Ramzan by this point had enough FSB support that his guys had their own FSB state security ID cards. By 2007, he more or less consolidated his power over the hardline Islamists and became the next President of Chechnya.

These are his guys. Just the high points of the things they’ve allegedly done include murdering Russian federal service members on video, seizing the jail in Dagestan and freeing Kadyrov’s sister from the police, murdering Russian journalists reporting on their crimes, etc. They were mobsters who scared Russian mafia even before Putin made them FSB agents. The guy who murdered one of Putin’s rivals, a member of the Russian parliament, right on the street outside? One of Kadyrov’s guys.

They’re not working for Russia. They’re working for Putin."

If you include global media with that then Id be in 100% agreement. The global media is bought and paid for. All main stream media from every country is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the globalists.
