Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk predicts a decrease in the US role in the Ukrainian issue after the presidential election. He emphasized that decisions on the war cannot be made without the participation of Ukraine and Europe. (He’s saying this b/c the trump admin is declaring that “#Crimea is gone”, but Tusk emphasized that "decisions on the war in #Ukraine cannot be made over the heads of Ukrainians.

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.
