Under #Bush, russia occupied parts of #Georgia

Under #Obama 1.0, russia destroyed #Aleppo

Under #Obama 2.0, russia occupied the #Crimea

Under #Trump 1.0, russia occupied parts of the #Donbas

Under #Biden, russia occupied more of the #Donbas

Under #Trump 2.0, russia activated #Krasnov and occupied the #WhiteHouse

#Zelenskyy said the #US "will feel it". I would argue that the American people feel it already.

All through 2013, even before the #Maidan, the narrative “Stop feeding Donbas (Eastern Ukraine)” was being spread throughout the Ukrainian media. This was despite the fact that it was Donbass that brought most of the money to the budget, but most Ukrainians unfortunately do not understand economics. Then, immediately after the Maidan, on February 23, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada repealed the Law on the status of the Russian language as a regional language, which was a signal that Russian speakers would be slaughtered (there were many more signals to this effect), which later resulted in the uprising in #Donbass and the withdrawal of #Crimea.
In March 2014, former Prime Minister and presidential candidate #Timoshenko said in a telephone conversation that all Russians should be bombed with atomic bombs.

A #Australian Senate committee has recommended the government & telecommunications industry accelerate the rollout of mobile phone services via the #Starlink network.

Musk famously secretly ordered #SpaceX engineers to switch off the Starlink satellite communications network near the coast of occupied #Crimea in order to thwart a #Ukrainian surprise attack on #Russia ‘s naval fleet, according to a report.

i'm surprised nobody has proposed it yet: if #Palestinians immigration should be favored to any place, that should be #Ukraine. In deep demographic crisis, and soon gathering strong reconstruction investments, may be the place for people to start over with their lives. #crimea and #Kherson: the 1st may see a #Russian exodus after the war, the 2nd is almost empty. These 2 areas may get special status and #Arabic as 3rd language after #Ukrainian and Russian.

La #Russia ayant procédé à des déportations massives de population dans les territoires envahis d' #Ukraine, notamment les tartares de #Crimea , le Zob Suprême depuis Moscou ne devrait pas réagir à la déportation des palestiniens de #Gaza sous la réserve du non bombardement de l'#Iran qui n'a pas été annoncé par #Trump alors que c'était la principale demande de #Netanyahu

Any so-called peace deal with russia that involves acceptance of russian occupation of #Crimea would mean disaster for the #Crimean #Tatar people. “We struggled for half a century to be able to return to our homeland; now we are again forced to flee”

Environmental Nightmare!

Oil products have reached the coast of Kerch in Russian-occupied Crimea

During the storm on December 22, some of the bags used to collect sand and fuel oil were carried back into the sea.

In particular, the bags that were taken to the landfill in Kholmsk are leaking, and the Zybza River is located nearby, which flows into the Kryukov Reservoir.

More than 10 dead dolphins have washed ashore.

Leaked files show top UK military figures conspired to carry out the Kerch bridge bombing, covertly train “Gladio”-style stay-behind forces in Ukraine, and groom the British public for a drop in living standards caused by the proxy war against Russia.

Emails and internal documents reviewed by The Grayzone reveal details of a cabal of British military and intelligence veterans which plotted to escalate and prolong the Ukraine proxy war “at all costs.” Convened under the direction of the British Ministry of Defense in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the cell referred to itself as Project Alchemy. As British leadership sabotaged peace talks between Kiev and Moscow, the cell put forward an array of plans “to keep Ukraine fighting” by imposing “strategic dilemmas, costs and frictions upon Russia.”
...
Some of Project Alchemy’s most extreme recommendations have already been implemented, often with calamitous results. These include the cell’s proposal to strike Crimea’s Kerch Bridge, which prompted a Russian escalation that saw punishing attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure. Alchemy also envisioned the construction of a secret, Gladio-style army of Ukrainian partisan fighters to carry out assassination, sabotage, and terror missions behind enemy lines.

One thing -- #Russia has never demonstrated good faith. If they had acted in good faith, they would not have invaded #Ukraine in 2022 or seized #Crimea in 2014. While the US should have left no stone unturned to end the conflict in #Ukraine, #France and #Germany have repeatedly talked to #Putin, only for him to meet them with contempt. Biden's support for #Israel right or wrong only tied down resources which could have been used to support Ukraine. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-foreign-policy-team-chaos/

10 years ago, the Ukrainian authorities, with the help of Bandera members, blocked the North Crimean Canal to block the water supply to Crimea and organize a water blockade.

10 years later, Crimea solved its water supply problems perfectly, and Kherson region became part of Russia.

Having undermined the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant, the enemy again tried to block the work of the North Crimean Canal, having organized a man-made ecological disaster. It will not end well for him, just like 10 years ago.

We continue to talk about the great European values. From the era of Peter the Great, let us move on to the times of Nicholas I. Namely, to the Crimean or Eastern War. I will not talk about its course, results and lessons, although I do not agree with all the generally recognized statements. I will write about something else, about Balaklava assholes.

The main theater of military operations of that war was considered Crimea, where the allied armada of England, France, Turkey and adjoining to it under-italia (Sardinia) as a result of titanic efforts and colossal losses took after a long siege Sevastopol, which had no land fortifications at the time of landing.

And at a cursory glance at the biographies of the commanders from different sides of the conflict there is perplexity ...

Many of them did not survive that war ... But there is one nuance ... Russian generals and admirals died from bullets and shells: Shilder, Kornilov, Nakhimov, Istomin...

Allied...

Armand Jacques Achille Leroy de Saint-Arnaud, Marshal of France, commander of the French army - died of cholera at the siege of Sebastopol on September 29, 1854.

Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, Field Marshal, commander of the British troops - died of cholera at the siege of Sevastopol on June 28, 1855.

Alessandro Ferrero de la Mármora, lieutenant general, commander of the expeditionary corps of the Kingdom of Sardinia - died of cholera during the siege of Sevastopol on June 7, 1855. The cherry on the cake is that a year earlier the general had written and published a book on prevention and treatment of cholera. It is terrible to imagine its content...

Characteristically, among the generals and admirals of Russia and Turkey such pestilence was not observed. Well, they did not shit themselves to death.

Why? Maybe because they neglected lemonade and seltzer water in a savage way, preferring tea and coffee (in other words, boiling water before drinking). Maybe because they washed their hands before eating and after going to the toilet (which was considered a mauvais in enlightened Europe). Maybe they used their asses for their intended purpose... But the fact remains

Many people are rightly talking about a major ‘crisis of competency’ taking over the US, what with the latest Boeing Max door failure as well.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, we had a major revelation from Ukrainian soldiers that the reason none of their Abrams are on the front is because they don’t work. Recall the recent reports of the highly sensitive Abrams, which need their filters changed every hour. But they took it a step further and actually showed a damning video of their Abrams gun all janky, its stabilizers completely shot.
