I recall reading somewhere that Zelensky didn't even speak Ukrainian before he was elected, is that true? Given how close the languages are, it shouldn't have taken long to learn, but I'd love to hear from you about it.
your link has a non-related quote by Girkin as a source. Girkin seems to be a fraud; he made all kinds of claims about himself, and even found his way into the separatist government, then got kicked out. since then he's been griping about the fact that nobody appreciates his genius.
Thought I heard something about him Paying 3 times as much for food supplies as what going market value is.Last week, a group known as the “Joker DPR” exposed the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov, who is stealing salaries of Ukrainian soldiers. An order was leaked to the network, confirming that the real salaries received by the servicemen are significantly less than the amounts indicated on paper.
Earlier, the Joker DPR leaked documents proving that Reznikov steals money intended for the repair of military equipment, fuel and lubricants, food for soldiers, he makes money on dead and missing soldiers and so on.
After a major corruption scandal, some Kiev officials demanded Reznikov’s resignation, but he still holds the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine.
We aren't giving them nukes;.. we aren't arming them with nukes; we are 'transferring' their previously held stockpile.Why don't we just skip all the escalation and just hand Ukraine the nukes?

how many people still believe russia blew up it's own pipeline.Nobody would buy that, all those nukes were taken apart and any ones we give would be ones we built.
Most of the decommissioned Soviet/Ukrainian stockpile ended up powering US Nuclear powerplantsNobody would buy that, all those nukes were taken apart and any ones we give would be ones we built.
Remember all the hubbub around the supply of Leopard 2 tanks , well now that they got Germany into the deal other participants suddenly decided that they can't donate any. ROFL,Spain and Portugal have none in working order nor ammo for them, Poland is lacking spare parts Finland is not donating any Netherlands and Denmark changed their minds
Netherlands and Denmark will not take part in the "tank alliance" of countries that supply more modern Leopard models to Ukraine, the Welt newspaper reports, citing a response from government circles.
"The countries that were once ready to supply completely refused to participate. The governments of the Netherlands and Denmark have informed that none of the countries will supply Leopard 2," the publication reports.
As compensation, according to Welt, the mentioned countries have expressed their willingness to participate in the repair and training of Leopard 1 combat vehicles. So we are now talking about T55 and T62 contemporaries.
I'm not quite sure why anyone even responds or engages with @LRRPF52 or @steve podleski in this thread. I have no idea about other matters, but when it comes to this particular subject, their intellect is on par with @Haney idiocy levels.
At this point I almost believe we should nuke Kiev look at Putin and tell him your move..Why don't we just skip all the escalation and just hand Ukraine the nukes?
The Ukrainian and Russian languages are in the same proximity as English and Dutch.I recall reading somewhere that Zelensky didn't even speak Ukrainian before he was elected, is that true?

You can thank Greta ThunderBurger for that.....how many people still believe russia blew up it's own pipeline.![]()
But you're not a professor! Thus can not know this 100%The Ukrainian and Russian languages are in the same proximity as English and Dutch.
Russian speakers don’t understand any of the other Slavic languages like Polish or Belorussian.
Ukrainians understand most of what Polish and Belorussians say.
Ukrainian is extremely difficult to learn.
How do I know? I speak both Russian and Ukrainian.
but then you seem to be supporting the corrupt zelensky regime even as you seem to admit the hardship of him requiring only ukrainian be used in government offices in donbas and other largely russian speaking populations.The Ukrainian and Russian languages are in the same proximity as English and Dutch.

Well, in light of this, I rest my case. I’ll go back to school, and respond in 7 years.But you're not a professor! Thus can know this 100%![]()
Atta boy! hahaha!Well, in light of this, I rest my case. I’ll go back to school, and respond in 7 years.
it's interesting how you laid out an abbreviated LARPER52 post there.The Ukrainian and Russian languages are in the same proximity as English and Dutch.

seems a bit hypocritical.
The native speaking Russians I know can get the gist of Ukrainian, Serbian, Croat, Czech, some more, some less, and even Bulgarian to a lesser extent. Not every word, but they can follow a conversation. Never tried Belorussian. All the ones we know speak clean Russian.
You are so FOS it’s not even funny. Some of these languages share a few same/similar words. Understanding each other is not happening though.I can’t speak for Serbian, Croatian or Czech, but educated Russians that didn’t study specifically other Slavic languages will not understand Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak or Belorussian.
They might understand parts of Surzhik, which is a Russian/Ukrainian slang language, but they will not understand 40% of the words in the Ukrainian vocabulary. (Which, in complex dialogue, practically means you can’t understand)
60% of shared vocabulary doesn’t mean that one will understand 60% of a sentence.
Russian also shares 10% of its vocab with English, but it doesn’t mean that you will understand 10% of what they say.
To sum it up, you have no idea what you are talking about, and I’m trying, in good faith, to explain the gist.
Did you even read what I wrote?You are so FOS it’s not even funny. Some of these languages share a few same/similar words. Understanding each other is not happening though.
oh, I absolutely do. As usual, your post is full of bullshit. Nobody ever mentioned fluency; so I say "get the gist" of a simple conversation, and you reply "in complex dialogue, practically means you can’t understand".I can’t speak for Serbian, Croatian or Czech, but educated Russians that didn’t study specifically other Slavic languages will not understand Ukrainian, Polish, Slovak or Belorussian.

Me being native speaker of both, and you repeating someone else’s uneducated opinion is the bullshit in this dialogue.oh, I absolutely do. As usual, your post is full of bullshit. Nobody ever mentioned fluency; so I say "get the gist" of a simple conversation, and you reply "in complex dialogue, practically means you can’t understand".
Next, Surzhik is a combination language, an example of linguistic Russification, not properly "slang".
Now, if you want to speak for yourself and say that, as a non-native speaker, you cannot comprehend the gist of what is being said, by all means take that position. I will not disagree with you if you say you can't understand anything. But your stated utter lack of comprehension is not what I am used to hearing from native speakers.
And to cut through all the fluff, and bring it back around to the original point which you disagreed with, we were talking about the Ukrainian accent, which sounds like Ebonics to most Russian speakers.
not really, all I hear are your own assertions that you know it all, vs all the assertions from many people that I have heard for 30 years to the contrary.Me being native speaker of both, and you repeating someone else’s uneducated opinion is the bullshit in this dialogue.
You are arguing with a native/fluent Ukrainian and Russian speaker, about Ukrainian and Russian while having no practical knowledge of Ukrainian or Russi
It’s as dumb as it sounds, and you are continuing.
The one other Eastern European person who jumped on the board today told you that you are full of shit.
I, I, I have it on video and was accompanied by a coach from Applied Ballistics team and two other people.I, I, I.
no matter how many times you say it, your claims equal 1 person's claims about themself. The arrogance is a good bluff, but that's all it is. Still nothing but you saying what you want, about yourself.
Just like your picture in the other thread where you claim to shoot a 1" group at 2 miles.![]()
"Here are (2) shots I made last year (orange rectangle) they both hit the same spot (yes, same spot, unbelievable but true).
Distance: 3,225m"
The A10 was made for this kind of war, and that specific terrain, it would be perfect in this theatre was it not for the Russian Aerospace Command where the A10 would be no match for a Russian Mig 29. From what I understand both sides have some degree of Air to Ground that is not allowing for air superiority on either side.The Raf’s F-111’s alone account for nearly 1/3 of all tank kills in desert storm.
The A-10 got nearly a 1/3 too.
I cant find #’s on USAF F-111 tank kills, but the F-111 is credited with around 1500 total, so I am going to assume around 600.
Most of Iraq’s armor was destroyed from the air, with guided missiles and bombs. Not armor on armor battles. When those tanks start showing up, air is the best way to kill them. Its not 1940 any more…
I, I, I.
