@RealCalebMaupin USSR did Business with Hitler: Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Didn't start fighting the Nazis till 1941. Didn't liberate any of the countries the Nazi's occupied either. No involvement in N Africa, Med or Atlantic theatres Took Berlin due to agreements made at the Yalta Conference.

American bombers took off from Fairfield UK and bombed Iran, killing Iranians and destroying infrastructure. This is a war crime. Andy(nice guy) Burnham already has blood on his hands. #WeWereConned

@Bart16271 You missed out on the 1997 NATO Russia founding act. Which Russia and NATO countries signed. I assume because it causes a contradiction regarding the "verbal assurances" you mention.

VOOR DE MENSEN DIE ZIJN GEHERSENSPOELD DOOR NPO RTL4 EN SBS6… Oekraïne, waarom de oorlog is gestart ! Voor iedereen die geen idee heeft hoe het conflict in Oekraïne is begonnen, volgt hier een korte geschiedenisles: 1989 - 1991 Rusland stemt in met de afschaffing van de demarcatielijn tussen Oost- en West-Duitsland en ontbindt het "Warschau-Pact", trekt zijn troepen terug uit Oost-Europa en vertrouwt op de mondelinge toezegging van Hans-Dietrich Genscher (voormalig vice-kanselier van de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland) en James Baker (voormalig minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van de VS) in februari 1990 dat de voormalige leden van het "Warschau-Pact" niet tot de NAVO zullen toetreden, en dat er dus GEEN oostelijke uitbreiding van de NAVO zal plaatsvinden. De Amerikaanse troepen blijven in Duitsland gestationeerd. 2001 Putin doet het Westen in de Duitse Bondsdag (in vloeiend Duits) een aanbod voor een nauw partnerschap om de verdeeldheid uit het verleden te overwinnen. Alle Bondsdagleden klappen enthousiast ... De Amerikaan verbiedt dat. Met Wit-Rusland, Oekraïne en de drie Baltische staten is er een buffer tussen de NAVO en Rusland. De Rus blijft rustig. 2004 De Baltische staten worden lid van de NAVO. Een eerste schending van de bufferzone. De Rus blijft kalm. Tegen 2004 zijn dan bijna alle leden van het "Warschau-pact" tot de NAVO toegetreden. De Rus blijft kalm. 2014 Het Westen zet de Rusland-vriendelijke regering van Oekraïne af en installeert een VS-vriendelijke regering. (Wat inmiddels zelfs door de Amerikanen is toegegeven.) Op hetzelfde moment beginnen de VS, met voorop Hunter Biden (de zoon van de bejaarde en half seniele Amerikaanse president "Joe Biden"), Monsanto, Black Water en Amerikaanse militaire adviseurs, Oekraïne te infiltreren en een NAVO-lidmaatschap in het vooruitzicht te stellen. Tegelijkertijd stapt Hunter Biden in de Oekraïense gasindustrie. De tweede schending van de bufferzone vond plaats. De Russen blijven kalm. 2014 Onder druk van de staatsgreep door de Amerikanen (de Russen hadden hun gehele Zwarte Zeevloot in Sevastopol op de Krim gestationeerd) vond er een vreedzame bezetting van de Krim plaats. In tegenstelling tot alle andere beschrijvingen werd er geen enkel schot gelost, niemand werd gedood. Behalve een paar Krim-Tataren is tot op de dag van vandaag 90 procent van de inwoners van de Krim het eens geweest met deze aanpak. 2014 - 2022 Oekraïne beschiet met de Vrije Azov-brigades (aanhangers van het hakenkruis) consequent Loehansk en Donetsk. Veel Russen komen om, waaronder ook Russische kinderen. Oekraïne keert sinds 2014 geen pensioenen meer uit in deze gebieden. De geldkraan wordt dichtgedraaid. De voedselvoorziening van deze gebieden wordt uitsluitend door Rusland verzorgd. Hierover wordt in de Duitse media met geen woord gerept. 2020 Naar het voorbeeld van 2014 in Oekraïne probeert het Westen nu ook in Wit-Rusland de regering omver te werpen, wat mislukt, maar het was de derde aanval op de bufferzone tussen de NAVO en Rusland. De Rus blijft kalm. 2022 Poetin eist voor de laatste keer een garantie dat Oekraïne geen lid van de NAVO wordt en dat Donetsk en Loehansk zich grotendeels zelf mogen besturen op het grondgebied van Oekraïne. Dit wordt door de VS afgewezen. 2022 De Rus valt Oekraïne binnen. Om de oorlog te beëindigen eist Poetin - een garantie van neutraliteit en - een demilitarisering van Oekraïne, - een erkenning van Donetsk en Loehansk als volksrepublieken - een erkenning van de Krim als Russisch grondgebied en - een denazificatie van Oekraïne Dit wordt door de VS afgewezen. Dit zou iedereen die gedachteloos de leugens of halve waarheden van de Nederlandse, Europese en Amerikaanse media napraat, eens aan het denken moeten zetten.

I define the US schooling as imperial catechism, not history. Other perspectives appear only to be ridiculed, preserving the comforting myth of unique virtue. PBS sanitizing Ukrainian Nazi collaborators as “understandable” is textbook propaganda… Reframe yesterday’s enemies as today’s noble victims to justify endless proxy war. We in the west were never taught to see Russia as anything but caricature. Reality is now teaching the lesson our schools refused.
Svelte Catonator@DRDunderdale

@ConciousLabRat Everything is taught in US schools solely from US perspectives with the very idea that there are other perspectives reserved for college - where it is then taught those perspectives are risible. Watch PBS documentaries on why Ukraine 'understandably' fought for Germany's Nazis..

@1NikolaMirkovic "The United States had promised not to advance NATO "one inch to the East" in exchange for the reunification of Germany". When? Is there a signed agreement stating this? If there is it would contradict the 1997 NATO Russia founding act, signed by both Russia & NATO countries.

Les USA avaient promis de ne pas avancer l’OTAN “un pouce vers l’Est” en l’échange de la réunification de l’Allemagne. L’OTAN savait très bien qu'en se rapprochant des frontières russes, elle risquait de déclencher une guerre majeure en Europe ! Des voix américaines et russes nous avaient pourtant avertis depuis les années 1990. 🇷🇺Boris Yeltsin (1995, président russe) : «L’élargissement de l’OTAN [vers les frontières russes] signifiera une conflagration de guerre dans toute l’Europe. » 🇺🇸George Kennan (1997, architecte de la stratégie de l’endiguement) : « L’élargissement de l’OTAN sera l’erreur la plus fatale de la politique américaine de l’après-guerre froide.» 🇺🇸 Jack Matlock (1997, ex-ambassadeur US en URSS) : «L’idée d’intégrer de nouveaux membres à l’OTAN à l’heure actuelle est, à mon sens, une erreur stratégique majeure. Si elle était approuvée par le Sénat américain, elle pourrait bien entrer dans l’histoire comme la plus grave bévue stratégique depuis la fin de la Guerre froide. Loin de renforcer la sécurité des États-Unis, de leurs alliés et des nations souhaitant rejoindre l’Alliance, elle risquerait de déclencher une série d’événements susceptibles de constituer la menace la plus sérieuse pour la sécurité nationale depuis l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique.» 🇺🇸 William Burns (2008, alors ambassadeur US à Moscou, puis patron de la CIA) : « L’entrée de l’Ukraine dans l’OTAN est la ligne rouge la plus brillante pour l’élite russe (pas seulement Poutine). […] Cela sera vu comme un défi direct aux intérêts russes. […] Cela pourrait mener à un éclatement du pays, à la violence ou à la guerre civile, forçant la Russie à intervenir. » Les atlantistes étaient parfaitement au courant de ce qu’ils risquaient quand ils ont organisé un coup d’Etat à Kiev en 2014 dans le but de forcer l’Ukraine à entrer dans le giron atlantiste (alors que la majorité des Ukrainiens n’en voulaient pas). L'OTAN ne nous protège pas, au contraire elle nous précipite vers la guerre. Il est temps d'en sortir. #OTAN #Ukraine #Russie #Histoire #Mémoire

@jaccocharite Minable gold is not proven just an estimate. Even if 11000 tons is accurate Russia was only able to mine 300 tons in 2024. Unless new deposits are found production will decrease. e.g. South Africa produced 994 tons in 1970 now production circa 100 tons with est reserve 5000 tons

Russia still has $750 Billion in reserves and about 11000 ton known mineable gold in the ground Russia has a deficit on budget, not income It is one of the few countries where the budget is less than the income and that's why with a government deficit, reserves can still grow
Kyrylo Shevchenko@KShevchenkoReal

⚡🇷🇺 #CentralBank sold a record 44 tonnes of gold in 2026 - the largest half-year drawdown in over 25 years. In June alone - another 9.3 tonnes. Total haul so far: $5.6B poured straight into Putin’s war budget to cover a nearly $70B deficit. Reserves now stand at 2,283 tonnes (still huge), but losing 44 tonnes in six months is massive - equivalent to roughly 2% of the entire stockpile gone in half a year. Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina is quietly liquidating the national gold stash to keep the military machine funded without touching yuan reserves or crashing the ruble. #RussiaEconomy

@jaccocharite God you talk bollocks. Only 3 countries, Poland, Czech Republic, & Hungary joined when Yeltsin was president, a few months before he resigned. The rest all joined with Putin in Power. All asked, none were forced. Russia's antics in Chechnya was likely a major reason for joining.

@Alex_Oloyede2 Same question to you. By what metrics? Your evidence please for the 30 - 1 KIA ratio. Also population increase claim. Last census was 2021 with 147m. Decreases before war, increases during war? Even ignoring KIAs, fertility rate only 1.5. Needs to be 2.1 for pop increase.

By what metrics? What evidence backs this up Zelensky's words? Simply nothing, Kia exchange rate is 1 Russian for every 30 Ukrainians. And Russia's population has increased from 145M to 146M in 4yrs. In the same year Ukraine went 45M to 25M. You tell me again who's truly losing.

@KevinCastley It's not World of Warships. Modern naval warfare is dominated by missiles, aircraft, and submarines. Which the US Navy possesses in much greater numbers than the PLA Navy. Subs are the biggest threat. US Subs alone would likely decimate the PLA Navy.

A reminder to all the MAGAs that China has over 200 times the shipbuilding capacity of the USA. In a naval war, it would be GG for the Epstein regime Sure, the US Navy would sink a lot of Chinese ships And China would sink a lot of American ones But guess what. China would just rebuild and redeploy in rapid speed What would America do? Nothin. They would go home and cry because it would take 30 years to replenish losses at their rusty dusty shipyard

@Grouse_Beater Warheads are stored at RNAD Coulport, the missiles are stored at Kings Bay, GA, USA. As for adding suppliers to job numbers? Correct, hence the statement: "Faslane naval base on the Clyde will support thousands of jobs in the west of Scotland"

FASLANE England's war machine ensures Scotland is a key target A £15bn modernisation of the Faslane naval base on the Clyde will support thousands of jobs in the west of Scotland, the UK government has said. ['Thousands of jobs' is a lie. Faslane workers are exaggerated in number by adding in suppliers.] The revamp of the base, which houses the UK's American nuclear missiles and submarine fleet, will be carried out over the next decade as part of the government's Project Royal Oak. Speaking on a fast-in, fast-out visit to Faslane in Helensburgh, UK Defence Minister Luke Pollard said it was the biggest investment in the UK's naval bases since the end of the Cold War. He added that it would increase the readiness, availability and lethality of the Royal Navy. Terrific! Ignore deaths. Let's have more cold war.

Putin is currently meeting Vladimir Potanin, Russia’s richest or second-richest man, depending on which billionaire ranking you believe, at the Kremlin. The Nornickel chief told him that global demand for Russian metals remains steady, but sanctions have complicated logistics and sales as many countries refuse to buy them. You can assume the private part of the conversation will be more interesting.

Ahead of tonight’s England game, the Black British community is carrying an uneasy feeling. We desperately want it to come home, but we also know that if England lose, our brilliant Black players will face a level of hate the rest of the team simply won’t. So let’s see how the Reform fanboys and MPs who have been trolling me since Saturday behave if the result doesn’t go our way.

Is Trump green lighting America to be nuked in return? Where?
