One of the founders of Google, who own Youtube, is one Sergey Mikhailovich Brin. If you think that's a Russian sounding name; that's because it is. Born in Moscow. He is still a controlling shareholder of Alphabet.
Loud explosion was reported in Dzhankoi, Crimea
No amount of ole ole was going to protect them in Russia in 2002. I think the Irish fans embarrassed themselves that time, by taking it and not fighting back/defending themselves. fighting Irish my ass.
The Rafale has a 2,000 km range, add the ASMP 500km range and you get 2,500. The distance from Paris to Moscow is 2,486, what a remarkable coincidence. But hey, when your submarine launched ballistic missiles are good for 9,000 km, the old cold war doctrine of nuclear bombers carrying bombs on one-way trips seems a bit redundant.
I remember an oul lad in work, who was in a small group of about 6 or 7 who between them hadn't missed an Ireland away game since the 80's... and he said that Russia game was the hairiest one he'd been to, couldn't wait to get out of Russia on that occasion.
Considering he'd been to many Warsaw pact countries during that time, along with Yugoslavia is quite telling ... he also mentioned getting stopped and interrogated by the Stasi sometime round just either before or after the 88 Euro's when he did some travelling and they didn't believe him that he was watching the football..
I know there was something leading up to that game also, I think the Russian's had just had another match with someone else that didn't go well and Irish fans were actually advised not to go...
Ukraine calls for intensified sanctions on Iran after drone strikes
Iran - Russia axis is strong
They wont be laughing when they face proper equipped and trained soldiers from Ukraine
That is true yes soccer games are dangerous all over Europe. But this was outside the experience of Irish fans at that time. There was complaints made by the Irish embassy in Moscow at the time.
Being an away supporter and getting away from the stadium with haste after a game is the norm in eastern European soccer. Some of the supporters go to games just to beat the carp out of someone. This is not particular to Russian football. The Russian police arent interested in protecting a gang or Irish lads who don't know what's a sensible decision.
The green paint also helps it avoid radar detection 👍️
well it was a soccer match so it was a very specific event not a travel through like you did. But the most eye opening factor was the lack of interest from the police in preventing or protecting Irish fans from the violence. Now some of them could have walked into it themselves foolishly. But he said the Irish fans basically had to gather in a big group to deter attacks and basically jump on the subway and get away from the stadium as quickly as possible. Maybe some other posters here were at that game or knew someone who was at it? It does seem to be one that stands out for violence out of all the Irish games down through the years. It was Sept 2002. Euro 2004 qualifier v Russia.
Ukrainians in awe of the quality of the body 'armour' the Orcs are using:
Yeah the big truck thing with all the right angles on it's surface has stealth. Even I can see that and I know nothing about stealth.
Last week all of the regular YouTubers who comment on the war had their videos demonetized. That decision was swiftly reversed after a massive outcry. I hope the same thing happens here.
Belarusian Defense: 400 Russian tanks, armored vehicles and troop carriers join our joint forces
could be a false flag attack on Belarus by Ukraine soon
I want to thank this but I can't tell if it's a trap or not.
This is probably an automated removal. I wouldn't be remotely surprised in a concerted flag/complaint campaign involving Russians, sympathisers and right wing trolls simply because she reports for The Daily Beast. Will be interesting to see how YouTube responds.
Someone doesn't want the english speaking world to see what Russian TV is saying:
russia is like many organisations that have a poisoned culture, change the figure heads as many times as we like but the poison will still bubble through again.
Defeat of the empire is the only solution, since I found the prison of nations idea I believe breaking russia up is the most desirable outcome. That is not a prediction.
I don't see Navalny etc. as saviours at all, quite the opposite, one just has to investigate his past and watch some Central and Eastern European commentators talk of him.
All of what we see is a mindset. From aggressive tourists abroad to Bucha or Irpin. It all comes from the same twisted thinking.
There's some truth to the bloated arrogant West type statements. We, collectively, didn't want to believe bad things were coming so CE Europeans were dismissed in their warnings. We preferred to reduce the arsenals of democracy because peace through trade and other such "thoughts & prayers" strategies. Plus there were many nonsense projects that needed funding - being penny wise and pound foolish comes to mind.
Dealing with people is the same all over. I can't stop a thief robbing stuff from my farm if the thief really wants to. What I can do is make it such a hassle, my neighbour becomes a more desirable target. Nasty but true.
We need to take our adversaries more seriously, even if they have **** armies and **** technologies, they can still do a lot of harm to the world. There's a CCP shaped elephant sitting in the room currently, with it's police outpost in our capital.
Who says the Russians don't have a sense of humour - even if it is gallows. Your man was no spring chicken either.
The Ukrainian armed forces call them mopeds because of the sound.
Sort of thing the Nazis did to London in WW2 with the V1 and then V2.
Everything is going according to plan
...
There's certainly a different attitude to strength and weakness in Russia. Far more unsympathetic, Darwinian attitudes really.
Putin has to be killed , it’s horrific to think this putrid little midget is holding us all to ransom, once that little twerp gives the go ahead for nukes there is no way possible to undo unless there’s a mutiny
To think people actually thank some of the utter tripe posted on here
Good to see we are doing something to help.
That is not quite correct. In addition to France's fleet of four ballistic missile submarines, the country also sports two squadrons of around 20 Rafale-B fighters each that are equipped and trained to deliver the ASMP nuclear-tipped cruise missile, namely Fighter Squadron 1/4 at Saint Dizier - Robinson Air Base and Fighter Squadron 2/4 at Istres - Le Tubé. These two squadrons, as well as the aerial refueling group formed to support them, technically fall under the French Air Force's Strategic Air Forces command, however that is somewhat of a misnomer dating back to the days of the Mirage-IVP nuclear bomber and the S3 land-based IRBM base at Plateau d'Albion.
The IRBMs were decommissioned without replacement in 1996 and the Mirage IVP was replaced first by the Mirage 2000N, a nuclear capable version of the regular Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft, and later by the Rafale-B. However, the limited range of both the Rafale and the ASMP, the latter having a range of only around 500 kilometers, make this more of a tactical or battlefield nuke system and less some form of strategic deterrent system.
A lot of recently recruited Russian conscripts dying on the frontlines. That tells you two things. They were running out of cannon fodder "recruited" from the occupied areas, Russian prisons and Russian volunteers.
Obviously they still have experienced soldier's left but aren't willing to lose them in ww1 style attacks on bakmut etc. These extra 200k troop's they recruited will probably prolong their effort another 8 months. After that Putin will need another massive mobilisation drive.
