VLADIMIR Putin's soldiers have reportedly been left with never-before-seen lung poisoning after crawling through a 10-mile gas pipeline to attack Ukraine.

Russian troops were sent on the bizarre mission earlier this month through a disused pipe near Sudzha, in Russia’s Kursk region – with the goal of sneaking behind enemy lines.

But not only were many of the soldiers slaughtered by Ukrainian forces, survivors are now said to be suffering from chemical pneumonitis - an acute lung inflammation caused by inhaling toxic substances.

Doctors have revealed the condition appears to have worsened over time - with scans showing lungs "resembling chronic pneumonia" in some of the fighters.

One field hospital medic, linked to the notorious Akhmat commando unit from Chechnya, confirmed the troops were struck by a double whammy of oxygen deprivation and gas poisoning.

“They suffered from hypoxia and poisoning by unknown gas in the pipeline,” he said.

Best source, and far more direct than AP:

PRESS RELEASE - U.S. Soldiers reported missing in Lithuania US Army, 26 March 2025.

President Trump acknowledged that his rapid drive to end the war in Ukraine had hit a snag

Trump never said this. It's Murdoch propaganda

U.S. Soldiers reported missing in Lithuania

Translation; they were killed in Ukraine.

That pipeline maneuver put the Russians in position behind the Ukrainian lines to where they now have surrounded the Ukrainians. The Ukrainians keep claiming it failed its military purpose. Like much of what the Ukrainian military has been saying, their claims are once again false.
I watched a discussion of the pipeline and footage of the soldiers traversing it. They did seem to know about ‘bad air’ and stayed low, and rested due to low oxygen. Very dangerous, but it worked.

You’re right. If they had their way, they’d throw Putin the Hell out.

[popdonnelly]

I voted for Trump three times. Putin and his corrupt government are shi_.

[dfwgator]

The Gas Pipe, sounds like a Head Shop.

[popdonnelly]

That’s just not true. Keep making things up to support your opinion.

--- "U.S. Soldiers reported missing in Lithuania Translation; they were killed in Ukraine."

I hope that does not prove to be correct. As ex-Army from long ago, I know training accidents are a "thing" and occur with sad regularity. As the story is "developing,' one has only heard they are "missing." So many possibilities can be conceived, even by this crotchety old guy.

Out with some Lithuanian babes (or boys) and on a bender? Turned over a vehicle going too fast? AWOL? Ordnance mishap(s)? Even drugs, which is not out of the question? Maybe wandering over a border and being detained? ( I knew a couple of training grunts who tried to take a jeep through the Mojave on a weekend and got lost, dying of thirst before they were found. )

If they "were conducting scheduled tactical training," there is a whole command structure to question and identify the W's -- half of which are known: Who? Where? What? When? Why?

Tactical training involves observation, because there are trainers doing the training. One certain view I hold is that, when stupidity is involved, everyone connected tries to construct some sort of CYA. And if indeed your suspicion is correct, then narratives are being woven which will unravel, as they do over time.

What the hell were your options?? Today, Trump is working toward Peace with Russia and you are still cheering for war. Knock it off.

Quit with the Propaganda!

Thank You

Not to mention many possible forms of bacteria concentrated in their lungs. I use a CPAP machine and I am supposed to cycle out the various hoses, because I’ve been told that bacteria can accumulate in them over time = pneumonia risk.

My early job on my sub was to clean out the torpedo tubes with fuel oil after we shot a fish, 22 feet long, 21 inch diameter

Most welcome. Turns out Pabradė, northeast of Vilnius, is about a far from the border as is Vilnius itself, since the border turns to the northeast in that area. One doesn't just lose track of soldiers during training....

[rlmorel]

I am pulling for Russia no more than I am pulling for Ukraine, but I viewed that tactic as a pretty amazing one.

I did wonder when I heard of it: “I hope it was cleaned out. If not, and they didn’t have breathing devices, then it must have sucked.”

I served for a week or two on the USS Lexington (US Navy training carrier before she was decommissioned) and she was in rough shape. I slept in a berthing space that must have had an open vent to one of her areas filled with bunker oil, and it was the worst time sleeping of my life. It was so strong it couldn’t be dispelled.

I felt as if I were in a fever dream the entire time, I could taste it in my mouth. Disgusting.

What do your expect? Hes a globalhomo with a hard on for Elinskys cock

[linMcHlp]

Heh . . . I forgot: I spent 2 hours at the left rear of an M-60 MBT, with the tank and myself going nowhere, back in 1972. Wind direction not in my favor. (And not a hostile environment; though I could claim, that the enemy was “the Russians.”)

But that would have been almost nothing, in contrast to your impound.

[BlackbirdSST]

Soldiers do all sorts of mean nasty things to themselves and others. Its called war fighting and winning by any and all means necessary, till death do you part.
