  1. Ukrainians were promised(West/NATO,US)14 Battalions worth of equipment but have barely 4 Battalions, As usual all talk and little action.
    Without Ukrainians development of UAV and other long-range drones they would have been overrun a long time ago.

  2. Putin is now rattled and would again threaten the west of N war….the foolish dictator has the dillema of fighting several countries at once in NATO. This Arrogant dictator is nearing his end!!!

  3. Asked and answered the exact question I wanted to know: Why was such a large, significant facility so poorly protected?
    As for future production, they can cannibalize the "old stuff" in the short term, but parts availability may become a problem in the future. As well as potential drone attacks on the manufacturing plants. You can bet Ukraine has them all mapped out.

  4. The average Russian is taught since childhood how good, big, and strong russia is, and if something bad happens, it is always the fault of foreigners – never the tsar, Putler, or any other ruler, and never russia and the russians. It's always because of others that they feel bad.
    I recommend reading the book "Letters from Russia. Russia in 1839.”
    Author: Astolphe de Custine wrote, for example: 'This society of automats/robots is like half a game of chess, because one man moves all the pieces, and the invisible opponent is humanity. Everyone here moves and breathes only with the emperor's permission or at his command, so everyone is gloomy and restrained: silence presides over life and paralyzes it." Almost 200 years have passed, and russia and russians are still the same. Nothing has changed.

  5. How many more time do these disbelieving Western experts need Ukraine to prove it's competence? The arrogance of the Western experts is shamefull.

  6. "When the truth comes to light, it can be difficult to accept. Often, what we consider to be the 'truth' is shaped by what we choose to believe, influenced by media narratives and personal biases. Many continue to trust certain sources of information despite a history of misleading stories, particularly from Western media. It’s important to reflect on how our thoughts are influenced and whether we are being objective or open-minded.

    I am not taking sides here, but what we are witnessing seems to involve larger forces manipulating public opinion. There are concerns about how tax money is being used to fuel conflict, while large corporations appear to profit from the situation, acquiring valuable resources from the people of Ukraine. Those affected by the war may find themselves in a difficult position, while others benefit from their losses. It’s also worth considering that peace was an option on the table, yet economic interests seem to play a significant role in the continuation of the conflict.

    Blaming Russia for the ongoing hardships may overlook the deeper economic motivations behind the scenes, where wealth and resources shift hands. In the U.S., many believe in the superiority of their system, perhaps because they haven't explored alternative perspectives or questioned the broader picture. It's always valuable to maintain an open mind and seek a fuller understanding of the world beyond the information we're given."

    With your support for the war Black Rock and other groups are snatching up assets from the vulnerable people. Twice a victim to a war and then to a wealth transfer. All this is possible using your tax dollars and the spending of your future. The benefactors being the corporation's have no risk but to profit. The lives were just people in the way and expendable like you are in the war. Speaking as a veteran you have no Idea what the truth is! Knowing this how can you consciously not promote peace.

  7. Oh god people are dim. Explosions don't cause earthquakes. That's a tectonic process. What explosions do is shake the ground. They shake it so hard sometimes that we can pick up the explosion's energy on the seismographs we use to detect actual earthquakes, and this explosion measured 2.8 on the Richter scale, which is as much as the ground shakes in a small earthquake. It didn't cause one. That's not how tectonic plates work, love. Remember, this woman has worked her way to the front of her field as a professional journalist.

    Also? ruck fussia.
