    An interesting story from the Russian helicopter pilot who defected to Ukraine. Apparently, Russian military commanders will use military equipment and personnel for any purpose that they feel like. In one case, the commander of the unit needed to transport his prize cat, so he used not one, but two military helicopters. One Mi-8 transported the cat, while the other, a Mi-24, provided cover. It required a total of six military personnel for the one hour flight.

    Oops... the pics and video's of the "insurrection" are starting to come to light. This is just one of thousands of such pics that prove who was really behind and instigating the so called insurrection. I implore you here to do your own research into the true about January 6th. Of course those idiots that did break the law will remain incarcerated. But for the whole rest of the world we can see the levels of deceit that these people will go to invent a narrative.

    Well... on second thought, if this is completely investigated then January 6th will not even be an insurrections so the jail sentences for the few idiots now incarcerated might be less harsh than they are right now. There are many more pics/videos like this out there.

    Why did we even support this war in the Ukraine? Is there more than we know going on? Absolutely.

    “Russia*” defeated in 1989ish. Economy collapsed, no military funding…

    *you need more schooling..LMFAO

    Russia now the most dangerous superpower (after being defeated 35 years ago and running out of military money.)

    If your post wasn’t so damn funny for the complete and utter failure of your alt-site Wikipedia education I might be inclined to send you a hug. You should post more often.

    if you are going to try to post snarky you first should get a clue on what you are talking about. Just some friendly advise

    There is less than you think is going on. Russia has been our enemy since the end of ww2. They are trying to restore territory they lost after the fall of communism. The sane people of the world think this is a bad thing.

    In prior posts Chemgator provided specific points with accounting including references behind the basis of his hypothesis. You don’t refute any specifics and reply with generalizations….

    a few different reports of Ukrainian soldiers grateful for the Bradley keeping them alive..


    “Those enhancements paid off. Combat video from Ukraine shows Bradley fighting vehicles taking hits, with unhurt occupants exiting the vehicle, able to navigate an active battlefield in good order.

    Ukraine itself is praising Bradley survivability. Hanna Maliar, Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister, posted photos of a damaged Bradley, relating how, while serving in the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, the Bradley took a hit by a 122mm BM-21 Grad rocket, maneuvered to safety, keeping the crew safe. The hurt Bradley is now being repaired.”

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/craigh...-make-the-bradley-ifv-safer-was-worth-it/amp/



    “But without the Bradleys, say the men, no one would have survived. They proudly showed CNN some of the direct artillery hits the US-made armored vehicles had taken, singing their praises repeatedly

    Their only disadvantage, says Karatsupa, is their distinctive whistling sound, which can be heard from miles away. This does have a plus side in instilling fear into the Russians, he added, and in reassuring frontline Ukrainian infantry, who know fire cover is on its way. But no vehicle, however remarkable, is ever entirely impregnable.”

    so now I’m responding to his mother here? OK, I’ll bite.

    WTF does accounting have to do with anything that I pointed out in his post? While it’s admirable that he has his mommy come on here and try to defend his drivel, perhaps you should spend a little more time reading the posts, and less time wiping the dirt and blood off his knees.

    He called the Soviet Union “Russia” for crying out loud. LOL

    He posted the US helped destroy “ Russia” in Afghanistan on one day, then the next day he posts Russia is all powerful. Which one is it? Do you not see the complete cluster-F of this analysis? Posting links to financial data doesn’t save the lunacy of the opinion.

    i’m sorry mom, but your kid needs a time out
