Pure horsefeces
It even claims Alaska was sold illegally to USA.
Brought to you by the same "Remember the Maine!" folks.
It is plainly trying to invade other former Soviet former states and then others.
Actually, they are protecting their historical borders from encroachment by NATO that has broken multiple promises.
Russia is not a benign nation it is the nearly the last of the outlaw nations.
Russia is not the Russia of Yesteryear. Put down the Rocky IV music.
Russia is the most corrupt country on earth and the fact that it has a nuclear arsenal is what makes it potentially dangerous. You are living a fantasy.
I'm living in reality. Russia poses no threat to the U.S. or West other than being an Orthodox Christian nation in which the homo and degenerate West is angry that they can't infiltrate anymore.
If you think America is so evil and Russia is so good then you should go live in Russia. Unless of course you are living there now.
The United States sucks and is a degenerate, corrupt wasteland full of "migrants" and DC elites. BAN ME FOR THAT, MODS!
Right now we have the chance to use Ukraine to end it and we need to take that opportunity.
No, we should just let Mother Russia take out the trash and mind our own business.
Good lord! You want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. You sound like some character out of Dr. Strangelove. Are the Russians stealing your precious bodily fluids?
“Liars lie”
I choose to believe they are factually misinformed.
Your paid-by-the-post propaganda has zero effect here.
Ukraine is getting destroyed and I can't wait until Zelenskyy actually has to wear a suit and tie and sign his surrender papers.
Amen!
“Ridiculous, Russia still wants to conquer other nations. It even claims Alaska was sold illegally to USA. It is plainly trying to invade other former Soviet former states and then others. Russia is not a benign nation it is the nearly the last of the outlaw nations. Russia is the most corrupt country on earth and the fact that it has a nuclear arsenal is what makes it potentially dangerous. You are living a fantasy.

Your comment is totally correct.
Some have repeated Russian propaganda for so long... it has become embedded in their minds.
Just ignore: “You can’t reason with irrationality.”

Day 541: 18 Aug
Footage. Ukrainians FOUND AND DESTROY Secret Russian COMMAND BASE by USING smart JDAM
Russia has been going through a difficult period on the territory of Ukraine for a long time.
Kiev’s successful plans of action have trapped the Russians in a vast expanse from Kherson to Luhansk.
In the last two weeks we have witnessed thousands of clashes in Zaporizhia.
Between Kherson and Dnipro, it was the scene of exciting boat landing operations, sudden raids and fierce clashes.
Now a surprise Ukrainian city, which has been silent for a long time, is starting to move again.
In this newsletter, we will go with you to the city of Soledar in the Donetsk region.
Of course, there were occasional offensive operations and military activity in this city.
But not as much as the Zaporizhia, Kherson, Dnipro, Crimean and other southern Ukrainian fronts.
After a long break, with the start of activity in Soledar, all the attention focused on this city.
Here the last Wagner mercenaries clashed with Ukrainian troops for Moscow.
But now there are Russians in the city and they are trying to resist in order not to lose this land to the Ukrainians.
The Ukrainian side, on the other hand, started to carry out a determined offensive plan in Soledar, as it did in Zaporizhia.
We’ve seen the first signs of this in the past few days.
The Command Vyaly air unit of the 30th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the Ukrainian army discovered the Russian military training camp in Soledar.
This discovery is thought to have been made by unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Ukrainian brigade gave the coordinates of the Russian military camp in the city to the Ukrainian artillery.
From this moment on, Soledar began to flare up again with artillery attacks.
All preparations were completed and the Ukrainian artillery units were locked on their targets.
Later, the huge military camp headquarters of the Russians in the Donetsk region of Soledar was destroyed by a high-precision JDAM aerial bomb.
The video of the critical attack was watched many times on social media.
It was clearly evident in the images that the JDAM bomb had hit the Russian military camp violently, and then huge smokes emerged in the base area.
Serious military losses were mentioned after the destruction of this Russian base by a pinpoint JDAM attack.
Because it was known that there were many Russian soldiers in this training facility in Soledar.
Ukrainian sources mention that over 100 Russian soldiers were destroyed.
This striking attack seems to be one of the most resounding examples of recent Ukrainian attacks in Donetsk.
At present, the offensive operations of the Ukrainians continue in the city of Bakhmut.
Ukrainian forces carried out an incredible attack here, resulting in the destruction of a $10 million combat vehicle belonging to the Russian army.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that a Ka-52 was shot down by the Ukrainian Air Force in the direction of Bakhmut in the eastern Donetsk region.
Ukraine’s 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade announced that it shot down another Ka-52 helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile near Robotyne, a village in the Zaporizhzhia region, approximately two hours after this critical attack.
Soldiers from the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army claimed responsibility for this critical attack.
It was reported that the Russian Ka-52 helicopter was shot down with MANPADS portable air defense systems.
This is actually an incredible attack.
This critical success of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, hitting a moving target, was a heavy blow to the Russian contingent in Zaporizhia, which they intended to revive.
It is claimed that a Russian soldier who jumped from the crashed helicopter barely saved his life and that this person was the pilot of the helicopter.
In other words, Russia lost two Ka-52 helicopters in total on the front lines of Donetsk and Zaporizhia on the same day.
The ability of the Ukrainians to hit Russian air targets with such success in just a 24-hour period is undoubtedly admirable.
In fact, since the beginning of the war, Ukrainians have improved a lot in this regard.
Counting only casualties confirmed through open sources, the independent monitoring group Oryx has released a critical statement regarding the helicopters the Russians lost in the war.
According to Oryx, in its latest update released last month, the Russian military has lost 101 helicopters since February 2022, of which 87 were destroyed, 12 damaged and one captured by Ukrainian forces.
PRAY FOR AMERICA!! PROTECT AMERICA!! SAVE AMERICA!! MAKE AMERICA FREE AGAIN!! TO HELL WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE!! HELP AMERICA FROM ITS LONG NIGHTMARE!! AMERICA FIRST AND FOREMOST!! STOP PROXY WARS!! STOP AMERICA FROM GOING BANKRUPT BY STOPPING AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS BEING SENT OVERSEAS ANYWHERE!!

The United States supports the decision to provide F-16s to Ukraine after the pilots have completed their training.
This was stated by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Censor.NET reports citing the EP.
He confirmed the existence of a letter from Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to his counterparts in Denmark and the Netherlands, which “formalized” the readiness “to approve the provision of F-16s to Ukraine in consultation with Congress upon completion of the exercise”.
“It’s a natural extension of what President Biden announced in Hiroshima,” Sullivan said, recalling that the American leader had announced training for Ukrainians on F-16s at the Group of Seven summit in Japan.
He also noted that Washington had not previously abandoned its intention to provide Kyiv with fighter jets.
“This week, we’ve highlighted that and put an exclamation point on it,” Sullivan added.
Earlier, the media reported that the United States would allow F-16s to be sent to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands after pilots have been trained.
Later, Denmark and the Netherlands confirmed the information.

I'm no fan of Russia, Putin, Ukraine, or Zelenskyy, but for someone who has been in the two highest positions of power in Russia since 1999, and has plans of world domination as you say, Putin's taking an awful long time don't you think?? Hitler only waited 5 years to invade Poland after he took power.
"It even claims Alaska was sold illegally to USA."
Before YOU know it, America will belong to the Chi-Coms, but let's continue with our long history of fighting proxy wars with Russia and China, and send billions of taxpayer dollars that no one is required to account for on the other end. Russia and Ukraine are corrupt nations, and I don't give a crap about either of them, but I do give a crap about this country being destroyed right under our noses. You are being distracted while America, its election system, it land ownership, and the Presidency of the United States is being usurped and overthrown without a shot being fired. But let's all focus on Russia, Russia, Russia, and Ukraine, because that's where the money's at.
Boy you really are an extremely extreme extremist and living up your name. The worst thing is that people looking here in curiosity will see your posts and think we are all crazy as you clearly are.
What an absolutely despicable thing to say out loud. To use one nation (Ukraine) as as an object bludgeoned another nation (Russia). Sick and disgusting. To view this bloodshed as an “opportunity”, a “chance” to “use” the lives of others. Sad
No, I'm just someone who cares about Legacy Americans and Legacy Americans only. I'm sick and tired of fighting wars on behalf of Oligarchs, International Bureaucrats, and Israel.
The worst thing is that people looking here in curiosity will see your posts and think we are all crazy as you clearly are.
Yeah well, that's your problem. I support America. I don't care about Russia and I definitely don't give a feces about Ukraine.
Russia is bludgeoning Ukraine and not the other way around. Russia is the author of this bloodshed and deserves to pay a price for it. It sh5 of the people ii this country would not believe that Russia which started this war is is a victim when it is plainly the aggressor. Every other major country lives in peace except Russia.
Quite the assertion.

If Armed Forces aimed at bridges, they will also aim at pontoons, OC “South”

The installation of pontoons near the Chonhar and Henichesk bridges will not help the occupiers.
This was stated by the spokeswoman of OC “South” Nataliya Humeniuk, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
“The bridges are significantly damaged, but the occupiers are trying to repair them, to start a transport connection there, they are even advertising the launch of a bus route. But this only applies to passenger car transport, because they (the bridges. - Ed.) cannot withstand the passage of heavy military equipment and the transportation of ammunition, therefore, the occupiers are trying to arrange pontoon crossings there. But they should realize that if we hit the stationary bridges, we will also hit the pontoons,” she explained.
According to Humeniuk, the work on the reconstruction of the Chonhar and Henichesk bridges is progressing slowly, and this greatly complicates logistics. Only the M17 route through Armyansk remains for the supply of ammunition and equipment to the enemy.

Kupiansk direction is now one of the hottest. Despite the frequent Russian shelling, the civil population is reluctant to leave. The household and lived years are difficult to leave behind. However, requests for evacuation are received regularly. Kruhliakivka is a village on the left bank of the Oskil, which the enemy is also mercilessly shelling with aerial bombs and cluster shells. People who can move only with the help of a walker or who have kids are ready to leave the native village. Civilians are brought to Kharkiv. According to the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, since August 9th, 2023, 248 people have been evacuated, including 90 children. More details – learn in our story.

The crisis on the border of Poland, the Baltic States, and Belarus. Tensions escalate daily, with Poland relocating more troops to the border regions and rapidly increasing the number of Armed Forces. On the other hand, Belarussian helicopters violated the borders of Poland, a NATO country. And ‘Wagner’ mercenaries have ‘settled’ in Belarus for a long time now. See how the situation is developing right now in the report.
