Honestly the Nuremberg rallies were a hell of a lot more impressive and menacing and atmospheric than that.
Putin is more like a town hall grandad trying to lift everyone's spirits with patriotic platitudes. Which is itself perverse
Here's a claim regarding the reason why the broadcast was cut mid-sentence today. (Video on Telegram)
The broadcast was stopped today and a recording of Gazmanov (Russian singer) was turned on, because Putin was booed.
This fella was apparently killed. Basically a two-star general
Nearly 1000 pages to the thread on my settings!
Lloyd's Register maintain the electronic navigation charts for the vast majority of world wide shipping. Russian customers have been notified that it is halting the sale and updating of all its products and services because of the war. The implication of this is that Russian vessels will be unable to leave port unless they have up to date paper charts.
The problem with the Russians trying to shape the reality they want, is they will eventually meet reality.
An opinion poll in Russia this week showed that Poland is the country they would most like to see Putin "deal with" - seems there is a lot of bad blood there (I'm guessing due to Solidarnosc and Walesa etc and the fall of the Soviet Union).
The Russian (linesman) was on our side that day 😊
I doubt it would have such an effect - Poland has passed legislation to triple the size of their armed forces to 300,000.
Putin demanded that NATO withdraw troops from Eastern Europe and the invasion of Ukraine has had the opposite response. NATO are now considering permanently stationing more than 100,000 troops in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
I'd guess they won't get 5 minutes without triggering the emergency break.
I note they make no mention of Stalin and Hitler also signing a non agression pact, AKA "let's carve up Poland". Then again they're taught none of that in school.
Trying to scare them eh?
@Wibbs Maybe they're more like the English, invaded a couple of times and still go on about 1066
They won't shut up about 1966 either.
I cannot wait for this.
The Nazis had one of the first TV stations going and even they showed cookery shows. 😁
Putin mouth piece, Pravda, published a response to the news that the Prime Ministers of Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia went to Kiev and met Zelensky. As well as calling into question as to whether they actually did travel to Kiev, Poland was singled out for a historical lecture - suggestion of it being an illegitimate state and that its need for denazification.
Excerpt of the piece translated:
Polish politicians have taken to throwing around words, which in the current circumstances lead to escalation. History teaches the Poles nothing, they apparently want a fourth partition of Poland or just self-destruction.
Poland is a hyena of Europe.
Poland has always been the "hyena" of Europe, to quote Winston Churchill. Here are some facts that say that this is a correct characterization.
After the end of World War I, Poland occupied Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia, territories of the Russian Empire that the young Soviet state could not defend. In Ukraine in the spring of 1920, Poles carried out Jewish pogroms and mass shootings. In the city of Rivne Poles shot more than three thousand civilians, in the city of Tetyev about four thousand Jews. In Polish camps thousands of Red Army prisoners were shot. Only in 1939 these lands were liberated by the Soviet army.
In the same 1920 the Poles seized Vilnius and the surrounding area - a total of about a third of the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. The USSR returned these territories to Lithuania after the war.
Poland was the first state to sign a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. It was signed on January 26th, 1934 in Berlin, for a period of ten years.
In 1938, in alliance with Hitler's Germany, Poland occupied Czechoslovakia. Hitler took over the Sudetenland and Poland took over the Teshin area. This led Winston Churchill to say that Poland "participated with the greed of the hyena in the plunder and destruction of the Czechoslovak state."
In the first days of World War II, the Polish government fled abroad, and when Soviet troops entered Poland, de facto there was no such state. Had the Nazis entered, however, Polish Jews would have been exterminated much earlier and on a much larger scale.
Poland named after Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin
After the war, Poland received the eastern regions of Germany, a third of the current territory of Poland. Only at the expense of mineral deposits in these areas, the Polish budget received more than $ 130 billion. This is about twice as much than all the reparations and compensation paid by Germany to Poland. Even more important was the expansion by Warsaw of the Baltic Sea coast - from 71 to 526 kilometers.
We can say that today's Poland is the country named after Joseph Stalin.
But Poland does not appreciate this, it considers the territory of Ukraine as its colony and is ready, like a hyena, to eat its "leftovers". It is time to denazify Poland as an accomplice of the Bandera regime. All the more so because it is begging for it.
@jmayo Has Russia really been invaded that often in comparison to some other states?
Napoleon, Wilhelm and Hitler all in the space of just over 100 years. So, yes, they've either been at war with or invaded by a western entity in the most major conflicts that Europe has ever seen and the last one was a battle for the country's very existence.
That type of thing doesn't leave a national psyche in short order.
It's going to be carnage.... I hope
I like how this has become a 100% rule of thumb: Russia is always guilty of whatever it's falsely accusing another country of.
Absolutely!
It just goes to show too, that good will always triumph over evil.
This is something I think Russia massively underestimated when they decided to invade Ukraine.
Have my doubts alright.
I suspect there might be another 'delay', but we'll see.
Even just for scrap after the war is over. Must be worth 100k for scrap alone no?
It's shown how a lot of our petty squabbling does not matter at the end of the day. Like any family that fights, when there's an external threat, they come together as one. Or when travellers are having a fight, they suddenly unite when a garda car shows up.
About 60 or so sets of wheels there, nice one
Off topic, anyone else's have there twitter notifications blanked out?
Only my timeline and one other notification showing!
Has some linked clicked on from here, wiped my notifications?
Whehey....!!!!
😃
I must say its really heartwarming to see solidarity has brought out the best in many countries, and the bravery of individuals who have no connection to Ukraine but yet travelled there in large numbers.
Band is Probass Hardi, the single is Where are you from
I am in your debt, good sir! 👍️
