The four previous were confirmed by the Russians, with state funerals, etc. If this is fake the Russians will deny it and probably show him off to dismiss the claim as propaganda.

Hey, about that tagline:

Blockade of Cuba by USA was OK, but NATO weapons seeking Ukraine invasion not acceptable to Neocons!)

The U.S. permitted Soviet troops and conventional weapons to be in Cuba for decades, both before and after the Crisia. We only drew the line at nukes.

Russia, in contrast, believes it has the right to prevent NATO troops or weapons in Ukraine. So if you were trying to demonstrate hypocrisy with your tagline, that hypocrisy in on the Russian end.

Every far-right-wing party in Europe is pro Ukraine, from the Sweden Democrats, to both Zemmour and Le Pen in France, to Spanish Vox. Even the German Afd.

Also, when you read someone saying “Wake Up People” you know you are dealing with an ignoramus and usually a dishonest one at that, just like people who use “Equity”, “Racism”, “Sheeple” or automatically label anything that doesn’t fit their viewpoint ‘fake news’ even if they like the source when it says something which they agree with.

One more Good Russian.

“So I guess Russian generals are actively involved to the extent that their risk of getting killed along with the troops is fairly high. Compare that to US generals who rarely get near the actual battlefield.”

Our military is set up differently, because we delegate. In our military the subordinate officers know the mission; even the NCOs know it. That way, the mission can still proceed even if senior officers can no longer command. In our military, the mission is what counts. The Russian military is not set up that way. The Russian military is very much a “Just do what I say!” or “Follow me!” echelon, such that if the head is taken out, the body has no idea what to do, and usually panics, and a rout ensues.

The Soviets had a brigade in Cuba until @1991.

Don’t forget: ditch the after shave, smelly soap and cigarettes. Try not to stink the place up.

Just think of who is for Ukraine:

(1) Soros
(2) every democrat including Brandon
(3) every republican neocon having orgasms at prospects of war with Russia
(4) almost all MSM including 90% of Fox news.

Just based on that list, my knee jerk reaction is to not pick sides. We certainly do not need another foreign war with $30T in debt and climbing.

Looking at actual video’s on news, I see building after building in Ukraine turned to rubble, while all buildings in Russia not even had glass windows shattered. If this war continues for another 10 days, Ukraine will look like Germany during WWII.

Actually, Ukraine looks like Russia during WWII. The Ukrainians used their relatively expansive territory to lure in the relatively small Russian army, and then savaged Russian supply units with the help of Territorial Defense (National Guard) troops and friendly townspeople and villages, who helped feed and hide them,  cached their weapons and ammo and provided intel on enemy movements.

You guys believe this propaganda? Does anyone on this site even know what is really going on over there and why? Or is everyone just outraged because the media said to be? You should look at who supports Ukraine. Long list of US enemies. Anyways, I hope we all don’t get nuked.

As far as they’re concerned, can’t quite say, “it’s a rich man’s war and a poor man’ fight.”

The only one I want to see dead is Comrade Vlad Putin himself.

was torn up by Putin in 2014,
——-
You should post sources, fact is Ukraine tore up the 2014 Minsk Agreements, the basis for Putin’s moves. Zelensky and the Ukrainian government is corrupted beyond all belief. Both sides deserve NO support.

Soros, Zelensky, the Demoncrats are all calling for war, never heard a call for negotiations yet. Careful who you back, there are no white hats in this regional conflict. Ukraine is losing, badly, and their calls for no fly zones, weapons, aircraft illustrate their desperation….desperate for world war.

I believe thats so also. But in the US brigadiers dont command divisions, normally.

Well, I am none of the above. Yet, I am pulling for Ukraine because it was the victim of an unprovoked attack by the neighborhood bully, and it is fighting back, against all the odds.

Thanks for some common sense. Zelensky needs to stop sacrificing his people if he cares. Surrender. It’s the only way to stop it.

Brigadier is the lowest General rank, a one star.

Not fragging. The Russian military is showing its leadership is poor.

Officers between the NCOs and generals are supposed to lead squads and companies. Generals are supposed to direct units, make sure logistics are running, and make tactical and strategic decisions. Instead Russian generals are running motorized and infantry combat directly. If generals are doing a lieutenants job, that means he lieutenants can't do their jobs.

This makes generals or the officers with a crowd milling around them primary targets.
