"UK sending Startreak Manpads to Ukraine"

I'm not gonna say what I first thought those were...

August · 03-11-22, 08:14 PM

Apparently the Russians are threatening to strand an American astronaut at the space station.

For those who can't read what it says in this twitter comment

"Ukraine is about to get British Startreak Manpads. Much more powerful (although a bit heavier) than Stingers. Range up to 7 km. Max speed, over Mach 3. Tremendous weapons."

Anyone in the knowledge how long it takes to train shooters? And how is the hit probability, I mean the shooter must guide the missile, it is not self-homing? And this against a fast moving target. Sounds like a beastly weapon, I just wonder.

Russian Helicopters Have Started Operating With New Invasion Markings In Ukraine

March 6, 2022

… it should be noted that the new Russian markings strikingly resemble the ones used by Ukrainian helicopters during the 2014 conflict with Russian forces in Crimea and Donbas.

Some sources claimed that the Russian are trying to mask their own units so they can be mistaken as Ukrainian Army helicopters by the Ukrainian air defenses, as reportedly done by ground units. It is impossible to verify if those claims are true, however it is worth noting that Russian helicopters are suffering heavy losses from Ukrainian air defenses and MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems).

Didn't the allied forces use the same markings for their aircraft on D-Day?
Time to get the old P-51 out of the hangar, I'd say.

No word from the Bnd? It did warn, politicians just did not react. They did not want to believe what was clear since 2014 (bad translation by google)

Russia today said it was all Nato war talk, other Russian media chimed in.

When Putin said he withdrew the troops which were just there for manoeuvres, the west wanted to believe this, and the russian media were full of "we have said all the time that Russia will not invade".

What do those state-controlled liars and trolls say now about their own "predictions"? Lmao!

Putin will not stop until we do it. It is high time.

The BBC has spoken to a serving mercenary and a former fighter with close links to one of Russia's leading mercenary organisations, who have shared details of the recruitment campaign.

The serving mercenary said many veterans of the secretive Wagner organisation were contacted on a private Telegram group a few weeks before the start of the war. They were invited to a "picnic in Ukraine", with references to tasting "Salo", a pork fat traditionally eaten in Ukraine.

The message appeals to "those with criminal records, debts, banned from mercenary groups or without an external passport" to apply. The message also included that "those from the Russian-occupied areas of Luhansk and Donetsk republics and Crimea - cordially invited".

A military airfield south of Kyiv is hit by missiles as reports suggest the bulk of Russian forces are just 25km from the city.

Sirens are heard through the night in many other cities across Ukraine - from Lviv, in the west, to the north east region of Sumy - as Russia's troops push forward.

A mosque in the southern port of Mariupol, where 80 civilians were sheltering, was shelled by Russian forces, Ukrainian officials say.

People in the city are said to be enduring freezing temperatures with no power, and little food and water.

Russia has accused Ukraine of rejecting nearly all its offers to provide humanitarian corridors from flash-point towns.

US President Joe Biden restates his country will not directly intervene militarily against Russia in Ukraine.

Russia makes claims - without evidence - of US biological weapons activities in Ukraine at a meeting of the UN Security Council.

Ukraine suggests Belarus could join Russia's invasion in the coming hours.

Maybe the Ukrainians manage to driove the Russians out. Maybe not. But in both cases:

The country will be destroyed, so will be its cities, fatcories, everything. Scorched earth.

Now it takes reevcenge that the Ukraina wa sunable in the apst 20+ years to get rid of its internal corruption which is the main arugment for not havign given them EU memebverhsip.

But at the time of writing this, pro-Putin Serbia with its pro-war demonstrations and spiking nationalism is closer to that membership, still.

And we still pump Ukrainian blood into our heating and energy production. Every day we pay into Putin's war treasury chest. Every day one billion.

The Ukraine will drop out of local food supply schemes for long time to come. That will have devastating consequences for people in Afric and the ME, while in our Wetsenr countries it will drastically increase certain food prices, and drive inflation. Germany now expects an inflation rate of 10%, I red yesterday.

Make that 15% or more by the end of the year, I say.

Scholz in Versailles yesterday fulfilled the lefts wet dream, and almost nobody reports aboiut it. He freed the way into the EU collectivisation of national debts and competely surrendered. Today, Paris and Rome are still in orgy mode.

I also red yesterday a oiec eon the quzota of zombie cornmpanies int he Eu zone, that are comoanies than are kept alive by massive subsidies and support, else would drop out of the market and are unable to sruvive by their own. The rate could be as high as close to 30% by now, the author argued. That is INSANE. No econoym can survive that for long time.

We are heading into a total breakdown. Not tomorrow, not next week, but in the forseeable future, a few years if we are lucky. And it will not make a difference whether you hold cash, gold, land, stock papers or bonds.

Following comments is from what I heard in the news

An airfield near..... in the western part of Ukraine has been bombed.

This made me think-Is it one of these airfield where weapons from NATO arrive ?? If this is the case then I wonder why Russia hasn't bombed this/these airfield before.

Edit
USA is working with its allied to provide Ukraine with more advanced SAM-systems.

Europe doesn't have to wait for politicians to shut off Russian gas and oil supplies. Just shut off the furnace and park the auto. Put on an extra sweater, sleep under a second blanket. And it's good prep for upcoming global warming cutbacks!

If the people could cut way back on consumption, that would have the same result as an embargo.

7 days ago the Aeroflot Ceo resigned
(Russia, Aeroflot CEO resigned):

https://www.google.com/amp/s/globalh...0.html%3famp=1

A few hours ago the Aeroflot interim boss resigned, telling he would leave the country since it is "not his country" anymore. (Aeroflot Vice resigns and leaves Russia)
