Trump built quite a bit of it. Have you forgotten ?
The real issue is this:
Russia has profoudnly allied itself with the most extreme islamic nation in the history of mankind : Iran.
Trump faught Iran, killed its military leaders. Putin on the other hand... is financing the Iranian leaders.
Also:
The State Duma, the Russian parliament’s lower chamber, on July 19 approved in its final reading a bill allowing an experiment to introduce the Islamic banking system in the country.
We also know that the largest Mosque ever built in geographical Europe was inaugurated by Putin himself not so long ago in... Moscow.
So... Putin seem to be profoundly pro-islamic these days.
But also pro Communist... since he recently made a new alliance with ultra globalist China.

The new Ukrainian maritime drone MAGURA V5 was demonstrated at the International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul.
According to Censor.NЕТ, this was stated by Industrial portal.
The V-type Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus (or MAGURA for short) is a new generation of multi-purpose unmanned surface ship developed by the Ukrainian state-owned company SpetsTechnoExport, journalists explain.
This UAV will be able to perform a wide range of tasks, including surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, fleet protection, and combat missions.
The hydrodynamic hull and sleek profile of the V5 allow it to move stealthily with excellent maneuverability, the portal adds.
With a height of just 50 centimeters above the waterline, it will be able to reach up to 42 knots, have a range of up to 450 nautical miles and a payload of up to 320 kilograms.
“This is an affordable solution that can be easily launched from any remote location. The V5’s unmanned operation minimizes the need for human resources to complete missions, reducing potential fatalities while operating in harsh environments,” the developers say.
Ukrainian reconnaissance drone Sirko was put into mass production
More smug sanctimony. Cheering the deaths of luckless conscripts.
Go play in the kids’ room. You have absolutely no idea what you’re babbling about.
What’s the point? We had a chance to be friends with them but we pushed them away. Long before they attacked Ukraine. What should we do about it? Ukraine can’t win an attritional war and it looks like the sanctions have failed.

The new Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle Sirko, which was developed by specialists from Kharkiv, has been put into mass production. The main feature of the reconnaissance drone is the ability to transmit video at a distance of up to 25 km, as well as the ability to fly at a distance of up to 50 km and return thanks to telemetry and a powerful battery.
Ihor Krynychko, the chairman of the supervisory board of Skyassist Scientific and Production Company LLC, said this at the presentation of the Ukrainian-made UAV “Angry Birds Demo Day”, Censor.NET writes with reference to Ukrinform.
“Finally, we can say that we have already launched serial production. And it is now underway,” he said.
According to him, it was possible to arrange the supply of components not only with Chinese manufacturers but also with Israeli, Canadian, Taiwanese, and other countries.
As Krynychko noted, a week ago, a commission from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine made a decision to grant access to the operation of Sirko air defense systems in the troops.
“Codification is currently underway. In my opinion, the state is not doing everything smoothly in these conditions, but I see that it is working very carefully in this direction,” he added.
Complexes for the Armed Forces are currently being purchased at the expense of volunteers, while there is no question of state procurement. The developers have already collected feedback on practical use.
“When they say “everything is great, everything is fine”, and there are such reviews - this is not for engineers, not for designers. But when they call me and say, “but it would be better this way, can we add this?” This is necessary, it is motivation for us. We are working, improving. In a few weeks, we will present Sirko 2,” said Krynychko.
According to him, feedback from Ukrainian defenders was received from the Kupiansk district, Kherson region, and Mykolaiv region.
Krynychko noted that almost a hundred complexes were shipped for the military during June. At the same time, the capacity allows to make 800-1000 per month.
He also added that the company continues to develop an attack version of the drone.
Thank you for your GREAT insightful comments!
Some refuse to comprehend the totality of invasion issues caused by Putin/Russia.
Please continue to “tell it like it is.” Just leave them stuck in their self-created morass of deep incomprehension.

Barbaric attack on Odesa confirms Russia’s lies about “protecting” people in Ukraine, - EU statement to OSCE

With its barbaric attack on Odesa, Russia has only confirmed the falsity of its claims that it is seeking to “protect” the cultural rights, freedom of religion and belief of people living in Ukraine.
As informs Censor.NЕТ with reference to Ukrinform, this was stated in a statement by the EU Mission to the OSCE during a special meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council on Tuesday in Vienna.
“This disgusting attack on cultural and religious sites in Odesa is yet another illustration that Russia’s claims of a so-called ‘sincere’ interest in ‘protecting’ these sites, as well as the cultural rights, freedom of religion and belief of people living in Ukraine, are simply lies.
In reality, Russia is barbarically trying to destroy the cultural and religious heritage of Ukraine in order to conquer Ukraine and erase its distinctive identity,” the statement said.
It was pointed out that since February 24, 2022, UNESCO has confirmed the damage to 270 cultural sites in Ukraine, including 116 religious sites, as a result of Russian aggression.
“We emphasize that Russia is bound by the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in Time of Armed Conflict, and that deliberately directing attacks on protected cultural heritage is a war crime. We demand that Russia immediately cease attacks on cultural heritage sites,” the EU said.
It was also emphasized that the political and military leadership of the Russian Federation, as well as all those responsible for war crimes and other serious crimes committed in connection with Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, “will be brought to justice and punished.” “Ukraine and its people must receive justice and adequate reparations from Russia,” the statement reads.
7 million illegals crossed our borders this year alone. We better send Ukraine another billion dollars. We can’t let the globalist laundromat fall into putin’s hands. :-(
🤔 I seen this report complete with video footage on the tv news, the video was highly suspect, lots of questions about what was being reported versus the footage.
We pushed Russia away? NO. We never did.
There was even a discussion once to let Russia in into NATO.
We even let them in the G7 which in practice became the G8.
We did everything nice to them, and this is how Russians now shoot us from behind.
Also... we were even beyond nice to China... letting them in the WTO.... and look how crazy they have become... and how anti-America they now are...
So you see... your idea of cuddling our enemies is backfiring tremendously on us. Unfortunately.
Which comment?
As long as China Backs Russia she CAN NOT LOSE.
#50,
The TV news reported Russia bombing a Ukraine church. It showed a video of a church that looked as if were in the process of being demolished more than having been bombed. That’s the only evidence of Russian attack that was shown. Being that Russia is mostly Christian itself, why would they bomb a church? Aren’t there military and key infrastructure targets instead? I’m missing something.
“Aren’t there military and key infrastructure targets instead? I’m missing something.”
YES! YOU ARE CORRECT. THERE ARE MILITARY TARGETS. HOWEVER PUTIN TARGETS VILLAGES. PUTIN IS COMMITTING UKRAINIAN GENOCIDE AS WELL AS ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY UKRAINIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE.
“You Will Know Them by Their Fruits.”
Matthew 7:15-20.
The ONLY think you are missing that Putin is TRULY EVIL.
I. WORSE than destroying the ancient cathedral, the ‘POOREST OF THE POOR’ WILL STARVE.

Locals rushed to the Transfiguration Cathedral in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa to clear it from rubble after an overnight Russian missile attack on July 23. Odesa’s largest Orthodox church was consecrated in 1809, destroyed by the Soviet authorities in 1939, and rebuilt in 2003. The city center is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

At least one person has been killed and 20 injured in a Russian airstrike on the Spaso-Preobrazhensky in Odesa, Ukraine on Sunday. A corner of the building was destroyed, leaving openings and rubble scattered across the floors and spilling onto the streets of Odesa’s city centre. Footage from inside of the country’s largest church building was captured shortly after the attack. The institution was consecrated in 1809. Additionally, the missile attacks also destroyed six houses and apartment buildings, and left 14 people hospitalized, Oleh Kiper, governor of southern Ukraine’s Odesa region confirmed. “We still find the likelihood of further missile strikes to be very high,” Natalia Humeniuk, a military command south spokesperson said on Sunday. The strike on Ukraine’s port comes as part of a barrage of attacks from Russia, which have taken place almost daily in the last week.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred seventeenth day of the war.
Day 517: Jul 25
Today there is a lot of good news from the east.
Last time, I told you that Ukrainians noticed that Russians desperately allocated troops to Klishchiivka at the expense of their flanks and Ukrainians successfully exploited a temporary weakness in a flank attack. This turned out to be the most important operation that the Ukrainians conducted because by capitalizing on their new bridgehead east of the canal, Ukrainian forces finally crushed the Russian defense.
When Russians saw that Ukrainians penetrated their flanks and started getting close to Andriivka, Russian forces sent dozens of tanks to clear the tree lines and force Ukrainians to retreat. Since Russian forces lacked troops in this region, they bet that by conducting pure mechanized assaults, they would be able to eliminate troops in the tree line and prevent new forces from entering the region with fire.
Unfortunately for Russians, they lost a lot of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, never getting close to Ukrainian positions. A lot of work was done by the drone operators, who identified the movement of tanks with reconnaissance drones and immediately destroyed these tanks with kamikaze drones.
After Russian offensive capabilities were exhausted, Ukrainians got close to Andriivka, established total fire control over all roads leading in and out of the settlement, and forced Russians to abandon it. And even though Andriivka is very small, it was an extremely important Russian logistical hub, as 90% of all supplies to Klishchiivka went through this settlement.
Moreover, Russian forces in the forest that were preventing Ukrainians from entering the village from the south appeared in a salient and suffered from continuous crossfire. With significantly reduced supplies and no rotation, these troops were holding onto their position only thanks to artillery fire.
However, Ukrainian HIMARS crews once again visited the region and conducted effective counterbattery fire. Based only on the available footage Ukrainians destroyed multiple Russian artillery systems near Kodema, Zaitseve, and Roty.
The Russian commander of the forces on the ground, general-major Vladimir Seliverstov, saw that very soon he would have no troops in subordination and started raising a lot of uncomfortable questions and demanding the high command to give him more resources. Just like in the case of general Popov, the General Staff did not like his demands and fired him on spot.
Ukrainians understood that the Russian High Command decided to save equipment and compensate with the quantity of troops. Every day Russians reinforced Klishchiivka with more and more mobilized soldiers. This was a perfect setting for using cluster munitions. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians increased the use of cluster shells in this region by more than 10 times.
Both the forest and the settlement itself became a death zone filled with bodies. Very soon, the defense was undermined, and Ukrainians finally entered the forest. This time, progress was stable, and Ukrainians were gradually clearing all trenches and shelters.
Such development automatically rendered the southern side of Klishchiivka untenable, and Russian forces retreated. Later, the new Russian commander ordered the soldiers to reestablish full control over the village at all costs. Russian forces conducted a rapid counterattack, got deep into the southern part of the village, but found themselves in a pocket.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians control absolutely all heights around the southern part of the settlement. A Ukrainian drone operator managed to film this disastrous operation. Russians immediately lost several armored fighting vehicles, and the last one left, leaving the infantry alone. They tried to hold an all-round defense but were eliminated within minutes.
The latest reports suggest that Russians were completely forced out of Klishchiivka. Even though Ukrainians have not yet managed to establish a permanent presence in the northern part of the village due to continuous Russian counterattacks, the next Russian positions are located along the railway. Intense fights still continue but even Russian analysts agree that the outcome is determined – Russian defense will collapse much further – Ukrainians have the high ground.
