Here we go again-Ukraine once again

[Rockstar]

Blame it on Sweden and The Great Heathen Army’s world tour

Interesting word history and their meanings. ‘Rus’ may have come from the old Swedish word for oarsman. Appears Ukraine history is much more different than Putin’s version.

If it's painted green and has tracks it just has to be tank right?

If we want to get deep into history we can also add the Jewish Diaspora and the Jews of Ukraine.

The history of the Jews in Ukraine dates back over a thousand years; Jewish communities have existed in the territory of Ukraine from the time of the Kievan Rus' (late 9th to mid-13th century). Some of the most important Jewish religious and cultural movements, from Hasidism to Zionism, rose either fully or to an extensive degree in the territory of modern Ukraine. According to the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish community in Ukraine constitutes the third-largest in Europe and the fifth-largest in the world.

In the late Middle Ages, due to widespread persecution, the majority of the Ashkenazi population steadily shifted eastward, moving out of the Holy Roman Empire into the areas that later became part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth; these areas today comprise parts of present-day Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews

By 1764 there were about 750,000 Jews in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The worldwide Jewish population (comprising the Middle East and the rest of Europe) was estimated at 1.2 million.

This is very bad.


On the other hand russian media are somehow losing it ..

1. So Russia can't take Mariupol same as they could not take Kyiv?

2. How can "independent regions" like Donetsk or Luhansk can have russian occupation authorities, officially

A real problem when you lied so often you forget your own propaganda strategy ..

I didn't put any thoughts into it I just read it and knew I had to post it here in my thread...Because if Russia do take this in use it will be a gamechanger in the war and the question is will NATO just sit there...?

President Zelensky says Russia is concentrating tens of thousands of soldiers for its next offensive in eastern Ukraine.

The coming period is crucial for Ukraine, Western officials say, as Russian forces re-equip, refurbish and redeploy.

It is likely that tens of thousands of people have died during Russia's bombardment of the port city of Mariupol, Zelensky says.

Mariupol's deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov says Ukrainian forces are holding out against Russia in the besieged southern city.

He also denies reports about a marine brigade in the city running out of ammunition and facing a "last battle"

Austria's chancellor has become the first EU leader to meet Vladimir Putin since the start of the war.

Karl Nehammer describes the talks at Putin’s residence outside Moscow as "direct, open and tough"

Indian PM Narendra Modi says he has repeatedly appealed to Putin and Zelensky to hold direct talks.
