Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[DF41]

A powerful blow from the Russian UR-77 in Ukraine. The Russian military, in the battles in Ukraine, began to use installations for demining, for strikes against the enemy. The UR-77 "Meteorite" mine-clearing installation, also known as the "Snake Gorynych", was created on the basis of the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer and is designed to make moves in anti-tank minefields during the battle. The UR-77 "Meteorite" installation, with the help of rockets, fires powder charges placed in hoses at a distance of about 500 meters. After that, the car drives back, the hose with the charge is stretched and it is activated. One of the episodes of the combat use of the UR-77 in Ukraine was caught on video

Yes. In modern warfare, nations with ample supplies of lethal weapons and having a large cadre of cannon fodders have advantages. Russia has that.

PS. Europeans are once again proving bloody damn barbarians and if this leads to World War 3--an outcome not unthinkable--then they are again proven the most savage people in the human history!! The 70-80 years of peace we have seen in Eurasia after WW2 was perhaps an interval in the bloody savagery history of Europe!! God-damned Tribal people!! But please don't bring down the rest of the world with your tribalism!!

It is America who is the main enforcer of the great European peace since WW2. Without American involvment Europeans would be at eachothers throat again.

By God i hope America never becomes isolationists and remove themselves from Europe. It would be a disaster for Europe.

Thats why i am huge fan of NATO. Without it Europe would be a nationalistic hellhole.

I can just picture that Hitler bunker meme regarding this.

Seems the Ukrainians are making more pushes into Kherson. May 9th my not end the way Putin wants it to.

Plus Putin's decision to not take Azovstal has put Russia's hold on Mariupol in jeopardy. Sure it would have caused massive casualties on the Russians, but by not taking it, this may not end well for Russia.

Not really. The Ukrainians held up in Azovstal dont have enough firepower and manpower to retake mariupol or put it in jeopardy. The Russians have effectively sealed it off from the rest of the city.


As for Kherson im hearing A LOT of conflicting reports. I have no clue who tf winning over there.

Also what happened to the second assault of Kyiv that the US said was definitely going to happen in the second stage of the operation (few days before the second stage begun)?

Post-Soviet Russia hasn't intervened militarily other than against neighbors ruled by strictly anti-Russian regimes which engaged in open collaboration with NATO and served as hubs for subversive activity and security threats against Moscow. Consequently, Kazakhstan and the like have had nothing to fear.

Russia and the USA are like apples and oranges in this regard. Whilst Russia is defining its foreign policy in strictly classical terms of national security, and is therefore not envisaging military options beyond its immediate neighborhood as well as in defence of a handful of close strategic allies, the US regime has proclaimed itself as the exclusive global policeman and hegemon.

More importantly, the ideological foundations of "America"'s imperialist expansionism are of an active messianist nature, a masonic, secularized form of Kabbalist and Christian zionist messianism. And this makes it immensely more dangerous to world peace and security as well as to mankind than Russia will ever be. Because megalomaniac rulers driven by an active messianist ideology will be tempted to pull the trigger on everyone as soon as things start turning out differently than what they imagined.



Hereby you are indirectly highlighting why the US regime is immeasurably more dangerous to international security than Russia. Because it illegally attributes itself the "right" to topple governments under bogus pretexts such as "spreading democracy" and "removing dictators".

Bogus since:

1) For centuries, the US regime itself has been sponsoring and protecting the worst types of autocrats and dictators. Contemporary examples include Saudi Arabia and many others. Washington's double standards and hypocrisy in this regard are beyond nauseating. I doubt that in 2022 people can still be led down the garden path by the US regime's appalling and outright disgusting two-facedness on the subject.

2) The US regime consciously lied to the UN, lied to its public, lied to the world by concocting fake "evidence" and trumped-up charges to try and justify its illegal 2003 invasion of Iraq. From the standpoint of international regulations, it was therefore an unlawful and criminal act. Defence Secretary Rumsfeld had a covert special office set up to this effect, and worthless "informants" such as the one codenamed "Curveball" were cited to falsely incriminate the Iraqi government. In the UK the 2016 Chilcot report concluded that then Prime Minister Blair had distorted the data he was privy to on the Iraq WMD dossier (Baghdad had dismantled its stockpiles during the 1990's), former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan declared that the war on Iraq was illegal, former US Secretary of State Colin Powell came to regret the presentation he made at the Security Council brandishing a fake anthrax vial, former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix expressed anger over how the regimes in Washington and London handled information in the run up to the war.

Former UN chief weapons inspector Hans Blix again criticized the way U.S. and U.K leaders handled information in the run-up to the Iraq war. He also warned leaders to remain wary of North Korea during his lecture tour.

The event Colin Powell long regretted​

The event Colin Powell long regretted | CNN

As a hero of the first Gulf War, Colin Powell was widely viewed as a trusted figure when the Bush administration sought to make the case for war against Iraq, writes Peter Bergen. So President George W. Bush turned to Powell to present the anti-iraq case at the United Nations.

3) Illegal invasions by the USA (e.g. Iraq in 2003) are not aimed at replacing a dictatorship with democracy at all. Their goal is to obliterate and dismantle nation-states, shatter their social fabric and infrastructures for generations to come, in conformity with the Ralph Peters and Arthur Cebrowsky strategy as well as with the Bernard Lewis and Oded Yinon masterplans for West Asia. Basing themselves on the work of authors such as Natan Sharansky and the philosopher Leo Strauss, US neoconservatives devised a policy of plunging nations into what they openly refer to as "constructive chaos" i.e. the deliberate provocation of instability and enduring calamity for the populations of targeted countries. Foreign policy wise, both neoconservatives and liberal hawks seek to impose US hegemony on the world, through equally repressive and abject means.

4) Liberal secular "democracies" of the west are in fact the single most totalitarian political systems in existence, as conceptualized by political philosopher Sheldon Wolin. They rely on social engineering to impose a pre-defined outcome in all things political and to de facto enslave their citizenry while at the same time projecting an illusion of freedom and pluralism. This is a particularly under-handed and perfidious form of suffocating dissent. However, this system is slowly nearing its end, as the naked coercive brutality of liberal so-called "democracies" is slowly but surely starting to spill over from foreign theaters of military aggression to their own home turf. Case in point, the unprecedented censorship practiced by western regimes and their affiliated capitalist corporations with regards to the current NATO-provoked war in Ukraine.



Iran lost about 280.000 (not a million) of her citizens as a result of the 1980-1988 Imposed War.

Plus, it was chiefly the criminal US regime which propped up Saddam and encouraged the dictator to invade Iran. It was the US and US-allied NATO member states which were at the forefront of backing Saddam's Iraq in its aggression against Iran.

Including by supplying him with all he needed to manufacture and employ WMD against both Iranian military and civilians, and moreover preventing the UN Security Council from sanctioning Iraq for its use of chemical weapons. Indeed, in its unlimited cynicism the US regime went as far as resorting to its veto power against a UNSC draft resolution designed to condemn Iraqi WMD use versus Iran.

The US regime is truly the very last entity on earth to be entitled to invoke Saddam's crimes in order to justify an invasion of Iraq, invasion which directly and indirectly caused the deaths of 1,5 million Iraqis as per a report by The Lancet, a respected British medical journal.

This is without mentioning half a million Iraqi children killed as a result of the US-imposed embargo in the 1990's. With former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright publicly declaring on CNN that this mind-boggling toll was "worth it". Not in a century could Saddam, for all his barbarity, have come even remotely close to the havoc wrecked upon the Iraqi people by the regime in Washington.

Let’s remember Madeleine Albright for who she really was

The late US diplomat, who thought the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children were ‘worth it’, was no ‘force for human rights’.

The whole world minus a few NATO sympathizers will jump up and down of joy when the US regime leaders and oligarchy are gotten rid of.



Neither do you invoke false pretexts to launch illegal invasions of sovereign nations like the US regime did against Iraq in 2003. Those responsible for such actions are war criminals and should stand trial. Regimes that conduct such policies must be stopped and pushed back for the sake of peace, security and the general well being of mankind.



The list of crimes committed by the US regime at the global scale is so extensive and virtually endless, that the fate which will befall that regime and its dominant oligarchy is going to make the earth tremble.



The notion that Kennedy was eliminated by anyone other than the US regime's own deep state is frankly far-fetched.



The US has no business deciding what regime has to end and what regime is allowed to keep exercising power.



Liberal so-called "democracy" will be flushed out first. The zio-American empire has entered its historic phase of decline, it's on a downward spiral and its totalitarian messianic dream of world domination has already been lobbed into the trash can of history, in no small part thanks to that empire's own boundless hubris. It's going to go down as one of the most short lived and arrogant empires of all time.



Someone will get rid of the US regime for being the most intensive violator of international norms and elementary human decency, its very inception being grounded in the genocide of the native population of northern "America".



The US-imposed order enslaved many more.

Local pseudo-nazis are NATO's main proxies. So denazification in Ukraine equals kicking out NATO goons.



Consequence of the Kiev regime oppressing Russian communities in Ukraine and posing a security threat through its enthusiastic participation in NATO's destabilization plans against Russia.

The US regime is the biggest and most systematic war criminal on this planet. It will be held to account. Soon enough.

Thank you for this elaborate debunking.
