Prefabricated dugouts are now being constructed at a Ukrainian steelworks owned by billionaire Rinat Akhmetov and shipped to soldiers engaged in front-line combat with Russia. According to steel manufacturer Metinvest Holding LLC, the capsules can resist impacts from 150-millimeter rounds after being buried 1.5 meters (5 feet) beneath the surface. They may be utilized as field bathrooms, canteens, or hiding places during assaults.

Must be some nasty trench warfare in part of the Donbass.
And if the bunker thing doesn’t work out they can be used as U-boats…
What? No 10% for the Big Guy?
Massachusetts should order some for their immigrant influx...
“And if the bunker thing doesn’t work out”
NO WORRIES!
Ukraine not dependent upon international build. Probably, Ukraine has found a purpose for all the utilizing all that military scrap metal left by Russia!

JOE Biden is “the big guy” in for a 10 percent cut in a business deal with a CHINESE energy firm discussed in his son Hunter’s leaked emails, according to a person involved in the talks.
One of the people on an email thread dated May 13, 2017 and obtained by Fox News told the network about the “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Company. A source on Hunter’s emails say ‘the big guy’ refers to Joe Biden
The email identifies Hunter as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC” and includes a note saying “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.”
One of the people copied on the email spoke with Fox News and confirmed its validity, with the source identifying “the big guy” as Joe Biden.
Of course. The biggest suckers in world are American tax payers. I can’t believe stupidity of Americans to vote for democrats and Biden. Irony is those democrat voters are hurt the most by Biden’s policies.
The callousness with which Western Europe’s 1%ers threw away lives in WWI explains why that same territory was a relative sideshow to WWII; the local populations were so cynical they would never endure that again (most of the action was on the Eastern Front and in Asia). Allied troops landing in France in 1944 (particularly the British) were shocked at the relative comfort in which French civilians were living (in comparison to the rationing in Britain).
The civilian populations of those Western European countries most heavily impacted by WWI knew they were just pawns in a war between much larger forces.
Which is why Bolshevism had so much support, people believed in the message of "Peace, Land, Bread", and Europe came damn close to being swooped up in a Bolshevik Revolution across the entire continent.
By the time WWII rolled around enough had happened to convince Western Europe that Bolshevism was terrifying; the mass murders perpetrated by the Soviets in Ukraine and Spain in the 1930s were well-known (even if underreported or unreported in the US). That is why Nazism was an acceptable alternative to so many, and why so many Eastern Europeans joined the Axis war against the USSR (and why many Ukrainians initially greeted the Axis as liberators).
But in 1919, “Soviet” Republics were popping up all over in Europe, in Hungary and Germany.
Right - and the populations of many European countries opted for strongmen to oppose them. Hitler wasn’t the first; Mussolini was in the early 1920s (with the cooperation of the king, who retained his throne). Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Finland - many accepted military governments to protect them from the communists.
Growing pains had to be expected after the break-up of the old Empires.
Absolutely; I understand what caused it to unfold.
In the end (in a manner eerily reminiscent of today’s US), those people seeking to retain some semblance of their cultural and religious traditions understood the dangers posed to them and their way of life by the left.
I want one.
