    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Honestly, I do not know. I was never there to witness the reality of combat. However, it was always a tradition in the Russian military since 18th century that the officers should inspire their men by leading the charge. How it is now, I have no idea.

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    My father was a combat artillery officer between 1943 and 1945. He did not talk too much about the war, but what I gathered from some things he told me is that if officer treated his soldiers with enough respect and acted rationally, soldiers always appreciated it very much and would protect...

    "They are stupid to be there." Very correct observation!

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Completely off topic, but I'm so sick and tired of all this uke related shit, decided to post something really positive: I feel both of them are the best pair of dancers of all times, with Rita Hayworth being the most gorgeous...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    I agree that Alaska was a Russia territory. At the same time, lots of Russia historians claim that it was a rental deal for 100 years, starting from 1867. I do not have a clue. So, whatever happened in reality is what we should accept as a fact. I do not know for sure what really happened, it is...

    Lariat, look into the history records and terms. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me, no problem. I may be wrong.

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    This is a very interesting video. Formally speaking. Alaska is a Russian territory.

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    Woman who can shoot under stress: Her mental discipline, calculation skills and physical abilities are amazing. Very uncommon in typical females, but she is of Russian origin. When I still lived in the USSR, I met a girl at the party who was either a dancer in some music performance band or...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    A bit off topic, but if anyone over here likes hockey, here is the video about Pavel Datsyuk, the player with insane set of skills, whom I personally consider the best hockey player ever: Datsyik is certainly Ukrainian last name, but he is actually from Russia. There are a lot of people with...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    It was certainly wide spread in WW2 (Great Patriotic War, to be more specific) Although, if we talk about regular Italian military personnel fighting on the side of Germans, they were probably treated w/o any special negative attitude, because regular Italian troops participation in crimes...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    In general, I think you're very correct. While I do not know for sure if this 100% happens now in ukestan, Russians, as a rule, have/had this special attitude - unless there is a very specific order to take some foreigners (in this case, somebody who is not a "normal uke military") as POWs...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    According to several Russian language sources, both from Russia and ukestan, USA is seriously cutting or even completely stopping military aid to ukes. This video in English also confirms that, and is actually very informative and interesting in general:

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    You're 100% correct. Makes no sense whatsoever and it's not a Russian style. Reminds me of the lies some time ago that Russians were paying Afganis to shoot at American solders. Russian will never pay Afganis to do that. In the worst case scenario, they (Russians) were more than able to do such...

    Ukraine war Bullshit.

    As far as I can imagine, Russia has nothing to do with Israel attacking Iran. At the same time, you're right that what is happening will greatly reduce ukestan capacity to conduct any kind of war action against Russia. BTW, here is a video. which is certainly created by Russia MoD and kind of...
