YouTube ^ | 2/1/2023 | Tribun Timur

Posted on 02/04/2023 5:20:59 AM PST by Phoenix8

Translation through Google:

TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM - The crew of the Russian BMP with the new Berezhok combat module carried out its last heroic battle, but was surrounded by the enemy.

The recording was widely circulated on Telegram Social Media on Wednesday (1/2/2023).

The American mercenary posted a new footage with the continuation of the battle and explaining what happened.

Russian troops from the ambushed BMP eventually take up defenses in a house, which the American mercenaries begin to raid without success.

The Americans took a loss and offered to negotiate, when one of the Russian soldiers came out the American appeared to open fire and kill him.

The crew of the Russian BMP was killed, two American mercenaries were also killed.

So far, during the invasion, Russia has released a total of 381 Ukrainian aircraft, 206 helicopters, and 2,987 unmanned aerial vehicles and anti-aircraft missile systems eliminated by Vladimir Putin's forces.

Meanwhile, from the Kyiv camp, the Ukrainian defense ministry released 850 Russian troops eliminated in the last day.

A total of 127,500 Russian Federation servicemen died since the start of the conflict up to day 343.

The video seems a little dated to me, some leaves on the trees makes me wonder if this wasn’t from late fall? Plus the soldier’s clothing seems not to be of winter/Arctic issue.

I choose to share this video because it is the first I’ve seen that shows a complete Ukrainian unit made up of all American soldiers in combat. I can’t help but feel ironic that we have our brave young men dying to protect their border while ours let in 2-3 million illegals last year.

I wonder about the soldiers. Are they true civilian volunteers or active military allowed to resign and go to Ukraine? How many are there? How many of our young men have already died?

And finally it’s hard to read the captions as Tribun Timur always seems to paste their logo right over the transcripts box.

“I wonder about the soldiers. Are they true civilian volunteers or active military allowed to resign and go to Ukraine? How many are there? How many of our young men have already died?”

I was told by some people I know that Western militaries have programs that allow for ‘temporary retirement’ of servicemen to engage in active situations, so as to give the US Government deniability...so yes, you’re instinct is correct.

Yes, early in the war there were several volunteers from other countries, including the U.S., who flew into Poland and walked across the border into Ukraine to volunteer.

American mercenaries would be more heroic and better paid if they worked for the human and drug smuggling cartels.

The BMP-3 is a Soviet and Russian infantry fighting vehicle, successor to the BMP-1 and BMP-2. The abbreviation BMP stands for boevaya mashina pehoty (боевая машина пехоты, literally "infantry combat vehicle")

I was wondering what BMP stood for, this was what I found. So, I assume BMP must be infantry combat unit, when presented as Russian BMP.

Another BS propaganda utube fake news video. Its a shame we can’t keep as a country keep our corrupt politicians from putting American bases and lives on the line in the name of the almighty dollar.
I hope Russia kicks the hell out of any Americans stupid enough to fight there and that the great bear triumphs quickly over the evil government of Ukraine.
That way the Ukraine people can get back home and rebuild.
I am sorry to say we now have more bureaucrats employed the the soviets and Chinese which means for government control over us...
Its amazes how little the average idiot American knows about Russia and foreign affairs but yet they know minute by minute how many people were murdered in Chicago last night and continue to allow illegals to infiltrate and take over our towns and country.....

I’ve seen this video before with a different description.

What kind of source is this one?

That's been happening for decades. Protect the world, while the invasion continues. You have to guard Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, etc.

If the MSM spent as much time highlighting the effects of MS13, drug overdoses, crime and drain of social services instead of a war 6000 miles away we probably would have many more doing that. 52-F2-A597-F3-FC-4-FE4-B3-CD-91-ED0-FDF8-ACE

Here is a different description of that video.

“American and Canadian volunteers storm the building in which the Russian special forces were hiding. Later, a Ukrainian tank drove up and finished the job.

The right tank arrived but first Russian artillery struck the building and 2 Ukrainian volunteers were killed and many injured. infinite respect for the dead.”

If these guys weren’t going where they want to go and doing what they want to do, what would they be doing at our border?

Not that much respect. Leave your home and go on war adventures for money? That’s human trash. Over two decades of constant war has produced a bumper crop of war adventurers who are unwilling to be productive members of society. It’s the same mentality as the idiot base jumpers etc. Or the idiots falling off cliffs while taking a selfie. These violent narcissists even videotape their adventures for thrilling video they can show people.
No, I’ll skip the respect and see them as the depraved people our sick society has created.

But how does anyone know why they want to do something?
Often it comes from the news they watch, what their friends.family think, what their bosses/teachers say.

My point is our media is influencing people to care about Ukraine and not so much our own country. IMO.

They could be volunteering to border watch, join the border patrol. Yes I agree with the current administration there isn’t much most people can do.

I don’t think those guys in the video have any trouble knowing their own minds and choosing their own paths in life.

We have a border patrol, we need to win elections to use them differently.

Immigration law is made by the party that is voted into power.

It takes courage to literally fight for your ideals, I have known many mercenaries, and all of them that I knew from the 70s and 80s were looking to fight against communism, it wasn’t money.

When it comes to these guys in Ukraine, how much are they making as volunteers? As far as I know, the volunteers in Ukraine are getting regular army pay.

Oh splendid!

Biting sarcasm. In reality you are saying I’m an anti-Trump, Russian Troll, anti-American because I don’t want a trillion dollars sent to Ukraine and see Americans killed while our own border is practically wide open. With the added bonus global nuclear annihilation for a country that gave millions of dollars to the Biden crime family.

Got it.

Had a squad leader in ‘81 that went to Rhodesia under an assumed name for a couple of years after Viet Nam, still had his Rhodesian camo and pics from his time in Africa.

Hated communism.

One of the more interesting people I’ve met.

Jean-Pierre and his buddy Gilbert, FFL para retirees in S. Florida were a couple more cut from the same cloth.

All three were mercenaries after a fashion and I had nothing but respect for them, still stay in touch with Gilbert, met him when he did my tile, lol.

I used to go out in Biscayne bay on his sail boat with he and his girl friend, a S. African gal with a BPM publishing business who told me about evading trade sanctions against the RSA.
