I don’t know what you mean by your second sentence.

I'm saying when the Russian's are perceived to be the victors by the world, they can march around a lot of Europe with impunity. I feel bad for Georgia, Ukraine in total, some of the stahns, Moldova and god knows what other countries. In my opinion they need to be stopped.

In the meantime a big slap in Putin's face.

#Tokayev's big demarche

The aggressive colonial policy of the #Putinregime is beginning to bear fruit. Instead of strengthening #Russia's position on a global scale, there is a decline in its role even at the regional level. While Russian propagandists are bathing the "boss" in a warm bath of false myths about the restoration of a great empire, completely different processes are taking place in the world.

A series of painful blows to the aggressor country was inflicted by the President of #Kazakhstan, KassymJomart Tokayev . He, instead of pandering to Putin, made it clear right at his home: Russian imperial amateur performance does not inspire the slightest empathy. Due to the many moves of one senile, integration projects in the post-Soviet space are now in question. After the invasion of Ukraine, Kazakhstan is looking at its northern neighbor with apprehension. In the country, a huge number of people oppose the catastrophic destruction of a sovereign country by Russian occupiers, who kill Ukrainians just because they are Ukrainians.
That is why Tokayev emphasized two points. Firstly, there can be no question of Kazakh politics being fixated on the #Russian Federation: only a pragmatic multi-vector approach. In addition, the reality has changed a lot, which means that the EAEU needs reforms. Here is a hint that an isolated Russia now depends on Kazakhstan more than vice versa. Its weight has fallen, and therefore it is time for the Kremlin to descend to the sinful earth.

Secondly, in Kazakhstan there are different opinions about Russia's "special military operation". The statements of individual Russian deputies on the subject of the need to annex Northern Kazakhstan are well remembered here. After that, a widening crack began in relations between the two countries, which caused damage to the Russian Federation itself. After all, Kazakhstan, just like Ukraine, voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons...

It was simply a shock to the entire Russian politicians sitting in the SPIEF hall when Tokayev said in Putin's face that Kazakhstan cannot recognize quasi-state entities. This means the collapse of all Russian rhetoric about the "SVO" to "protect" the Donbass. Putin, from excitement, could not even pronounce the name of his counterpart. Tokayev also broadcasts the #Chinese position, which considers the creation of quasi-republics by the Russian Federation as a measure to undermine Chinese territorial integrity. Russia with such predatory habits is not expected even in the east.

Tokaev's refusal to accept the Order of Alexander Nevsky from them completed the humiliation of the Russians.

In general, everything is so bad that Russian propagandists were ordered to bypass the Kazakh topic by the tenth road.

For context, where the hell is Bologrod?
If it is in Ukraine, yeah, they are going to take a lot of incoming. That's the Russian MO.

Who maintains these process units? I can all but guarantee that it isn't all Russian workers, not if they want things done correctly

France is sending a large number of armored vehicles as well as 6 more CAESAR self propelled howitzers which makes 9 so far. This along with the 8 HIMARS we are sending them, the 12 PHz2000 Germany and the Netherlands sent and the 3 (initially) M270’s from the UK are very precise heavy weapons that can have a large impact even in small numbers if deployed the correct way to take out high value targets, mostly at night. The Russians don’t have precise weapons of this caliber that can compare with the western units. Hopefully they will continue to use these not as frontline attack weapons but as surgical strike systems that harass command and control plus supply lines beyond the reach of normal artillery. Russia still has a big advantage in normal artillery but they can make things a lot more difficult for them with these new state of the art systems.

The threat worked. Zelensky did a 180 on his peace platform , and publicly awarded the man a medal.

Ukraine didn’t have the codes, and the technology to crack the codes didn’t exist. Doesn’t exist now.

They did what they could and traded them for cash.
