    Are you sure those aren’t, like, just a slightly different version of “Russian with Asiatic features who doesn’t speak Russian?”

    No it doesn’t help. It just gives them another chance to respond. And another. And another. Etc. this wastes yours and everybody else’s time. If you don’t believe it ask yourself why the Covid thread is still raging to this day? Because fools keep taking the bait thinking they are performing some sort of public service.

    Russia conducting genocide by firing multi-million dollar high-precision missiles at apartment buildings killing two or three Ukrainians at a time.

    Perhaps the clearest image yet of a North Korean troop fighting for Russia …

    lost track, thought the black sea was under peace agreement..missiles from ships or subs??

    sure would be nice if a couple of ukraine fighters could find them bombers full of missiles

    NATO jets scrambled as 'unidentified aircraft' circles off coast

    The aircraft was detected in the UK's "area of interest" but did not enter sovereign airspace, according to an MoD spokesperson. This operation was part of the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert, which maintains high readiness around the clock to safeguard UK skies.

    This latest incident comes amid heightened vigilance as Russian military activity near NATO member states continues to test defence readiness. It is believed that Vladimir Putin's forces are probing Western responses as the war in Ukraine persists.

    NATO scrambled fighter jets early on Sunday as Putin deployed his nuclear-capable Tu-95MS bombers to unleash a fresh barrage of missile attacks on Ukraine - including direct strikes on Kyiv.

    Ukrainian officials report that Sunday's aerial onslaught involved no less than four Tu-95MS strategic bombers, firing Kh-101 cruise missiles from a lofty perch above the Caspian Sea. The assault was bolstered by additional Kalibr missiles dispatched from the Black Sea and complemented by strikes from Iskander-M ballistic missiles along with Shahed kamikaze drones.

    i suspect more are there than we know. of course cccp wouldn't know anything about it. they issued a travel advisory, what do you expect them to do? if they didn't vehemently deny it you know it is true, and even the majority of the time when they do.


    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said: "Their identification documents, passports, and even their credit cards were found in their possession. These are Chinese citizens."

    China's Foreign Ministry responds to captivity of their soldiers fighting on Ukraine's frontline

    Ukrainian soldiers captured Chinese soldiers who were fighting on the side of Russia at the front. Beijing has responded for the first time, Sky News reports, citing Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian.

    In particular, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in its statement, said that it is currently "verifying the situation" with Ukraine.

    In addition, the Chinese Ministry reminded that it has always advised its citizens to stay away from areas of armed conflict and not to interfere in them.

    Ukrainian forces score $100M hit on Russian bomber with drone

    "It had just landed and our drone hit it. The cost is about 100 million dollars," reported Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He was speaking about the successful strike on the valuable Russian Tu-22M3 aircraft, which fell victim to a Ukrainian drone.

    In recent days, Ukrainians have boasted of the success of destroying three Buk air defense systems within 12 hours. Now, the Ukrainian army adds the destruction of the long-range Tu-22M3 bomber to its list of achievements. "A few days ago, our successful actions destroyed a Tu-22M3 long-range bomber," said Oleksandr Syrskyi. The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian forces estimated the cost of this aircraft to be around 100 million dollars.

    Just out of curiosity, do you think the Bill and Hillary Clinton can be trusted when it comes to Foreign Policy?

    Compared to the current Administration? They are Regan, FDR, Lincoln and Washington combined.

    You already posted that link back in post #32131 and all that article really is a regurgitation of the NYTimes article that @PITBOSS posted.

    Further more, the reason I brought up the Clinton's and their foreign policy is the author of your link, Kit Klarenberg, works for the Greyzone.com, which is owned by Max Blumenthal, son of Sidney Blumenthal. Sidney Blumenthal was the Corey Lewendowski of the Clinton White House. He was one of the hangers on that the Bill and Hillary had around that was trying to make a buck but the professionals could not stand and repeatedly tried to get rid of. It is clear that the apple does not fall far from the tree with Max and his pupil, Kit. So I guess we can now say you are in with the Blumenthals.

    But what do you think about UK being the worst country in the world ? I’ve had 24 hours to think about it and, nope, I’m not withdrawing my nomination.

    Decidedly not off-topic. It’s a NATO vs. Russia proxy war in which NATO has fared poorly.

    If you think that, knock yourself out.
