Again, wait until they figure out what Germany has been contributing. I really thought prior to this war they had their shite together.

Well I mean they are only publicly acknowledging it 4 months after the US admitted to doing it

LINK from April

quote:

(CNN)Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said publicly for the first time Thursday that the US is providing intelligence to Ukrainian forces to conduct operations in the Donbas region.

Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Austin was asked whether the US was providing intelligence to help Ukraine carry out attacks against Russian forces in the separatist-controlled Donbas region or Crimea.

"We are providing them intelligence to conduct operations in the Donbas, that's correct," Austin said in response to the question from Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

Or a month later in May:

quote:

According to unnamed U.S. officials who spoke with the New York Times, at least some of Ukraine’s success in killing so many Russian generals — 12, by the Ukrainians’ count — has been thanks to American-provided intelligence. U.S. officials also told NBC News that U.S. intelligence played a crucial role in Ukraine’s sinking of Russia’s flagship in the Black Sea last month. President Biden reportedly criticized the leaks during a call with top intelligence officials on Friday, insisting the stories “distract from our objective.”

Per the Times “the targeting help is part of a classified effort by the Biden administration to provide real-time battlefield intelligence to Ukraine”:

The United States has focused on providing the location and other details about the Russian military’s mobile headquarters, which relocate frequently. Ukrainian officials have combined that geographic information with their own intelligence — including intercepted communications that alert the Ukrainian military to the presence of senior Russian officers — to conduct artillery strikes and other attacks that have killed Russian officers.

Is there a Radio Free Europe or bootleg Netflix that can pump some sense into the Ruskie heads? They gotta like social media. Or is it in the words of the Waterboy, "The Devil?"

Russian propaganda is meant mostly for over 40+ year old Russian women who want to think that there are virile men without HIV and vodka/heroin issues, and who will be able to live longer than 60 years of age

You spout so much pro Ukraine/ anti Russian propaganda that the Kremlin should read this thread and take notes on how it’s done.

FTR, reaching the age of 60 is a feat for the Russian male. Not having HIV is not a lot better than a 50/50 chance. The same goes for chronic alcoholism and heroin use.

Those were all statistical facts before Putin stamped out any reports of medical data and why no one in the world believes his Covid stats.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why every time they fire a HIMARS volley it hits something important. I’m sure Ukraine has civilian spies and resistance groups behind d the lines but it’s our satellites that can watch Russia at all times. HIMARS missiles are expensive, of course we have a say in what they are used for.

How do you expect to be taken seriously with ridiculous nonsense like this that can be disproven with a 5 second google search?

No Google search involved, known facts for over a decade. It is also a known fact that Russia was behind the anti Canadian crude and anti fracking movements.

But I have been paying attention for at least 15 years about Putain.

Here is another fact. Russian women have long used abortion as a form of cheap birth control. Most women are unable to bear a child to term by the time they are 30. The only demographic which can is the Allah Akbar demographic which is anti abortion for moslems, everyone else in favor.

Couple of things I’m hearing; the grain shipments won’t be attacked by Russia or its game on for the Black Sea Fleet and the Bridge in Crimea.


Do the Russians think it’s currently not game on for the Black Sea Fleet or the Bridge in Crimea? So basically the Ukrainians are using restraint now, but would go no holds barred/ scorched earth on Crimea?


My sauce in Ukrainian inteligence that Erdogan was so pissed after the Russians attacked Odessa less than 24 hours after he negotiated the wheat deal that Erdogan called Putin and said that if Russia attached the grain shipments then Turkey would have to get involved to protect them. Erdogan also said that if Russia attacked a Turkish ship in international or Ukrainian waters since Ukraine has given Turkey permission to enter Ukrainian waters at will as an attack upon Turkey and it would trigger Article 5. Turkey informed Ukraine of this which is how my source knew of it.

Man rather than argue endlessly, let us know what the real numbers are?

Russian life expectancy just under 73 years

Russian consumption of alcohol is middle of the pack. The Baltic states have higher consumption I guess because they border Russia.

Drug addiction is a rising problem in Russia.

Everything I’ve seen is about 1.3% which is probably the highest in the developed world but it’s not close to 50 or even 25%.

Yes, 1.5 million Russians have HIV. Over 1 but under 2%. HIV is an increasing problem there. CitizenK has to prove up his numbers. I don't see them but I may be looking at bad info as Russians are not transparent.
