Should really keep his mouth shut around sensitive issues, as statements like this are highly probable to sway ones thought reasoning process through public office influence.

Low life act 101 !





RIP Juice.

I living in Rome so I can tell you that pope are just business.
They did not fucking caring about nothing.
They, where they need, become politician, businessman and everything else.
They are a very bad example of what Christians follows...

"The largest losses are among those sent to the war from Russian Tuva and Buryatia, more than 55 per 100,000 inhabitants.

The smallest in Moscow.

The real numbers are higher, because these statistics are based on official data.

But the ratio is about the same.

Putin will not recruit soldiers in Moscow and St. Petersburg until the very end, because he understands that this is where a revolution or a mutiny can start."


"Ukraine to receive 110 Australian Slinger systems capable of shooting down helicopters and Shahids

The Australian Slinger system can counter many targets using a unique munition.
The manufacturer has been testing the system for three weeks near Sydney. The system was created on the basis of the 30 mm M230LF cannon and 7.62 mm MAG58 machine gun and is mounted on a GMC Denali pickup truck."

"Military airfield in Engels.

Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers with car tires on top, which are used as protection against unknown kamikaze drones

Well, agree, only a very reasonable person - a genius - could have invented this!

Now the podors only have to weld the grill on top, for greater reliability, so to speak"

"Recently, a Mi-8 helicopter of the Russian Armed Forces ended up in Ukraine as a result of a long-lasting special operation by the Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, according to high-ranking sources in the special services.

The special operation lasted more than 6 months. Ukrainian intelligence lured the Mi-8 AMTSh pilot to Ukraine. The plane was flying between two airbases and transporting parts for Su-27 and Su-30 SM fighters.

Along with the pilot, there were two crew members on board who did not know where the helicopter was actually going. The Mi-8 landed in Kharkiv region.

As a result of the special operation, two crew members were killed. The pilot and his family are in Ukraine, and the family was taken out of Russia in advance. The Mi-8 remained in Ukraine, as well as the parts for the fighter jets."

Just a snippet from this incident.

"GUR showed a Russian pilot who handed over the Mi-8 military helicopter to Ukraine and became a rich man."

Rough translation of the pilot at the end:
"No one wants this war. You'll see when Ukraine wins, it's only a matter of time..."

"The Armed Forces broke through the first line of Russian defense near Zaporizhzhia. The Russians spent 60% of their time building it.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, the commander of the operational-strategic group of troops "Tavria", told about this in an interview with The Guardian.

"Now we are between the first and second lines of defense. I think the Russians believed that the Ukrainians would not break through the first line. They prepared for more than a year and did everything to prepare this area well," said Tarnavskyi.

According to the commander, the Ukrainian troops were restrained by a huge minefield, so sappers spent several weeks clearing the way for the assault . Demining had to be done only by infantry and exclusively at night, because as soon as any equipment appeared there, the Russians began to fire at it and destroy it.

Now the occupiers are drawing up their reserves not only from Ukraine, but also from Russia . The Ukrainian military is currently entrenched in the recently recaptured territories."

"A few more important theses from the recent interview of the commander of the "Tavria" OSU Tarnavskyi for the Guardian.

✅When we started the counteroffensive, we spent more time than expected on demining the territories [...] Unfortunately, the evacuation of the wounded was difficult for us. And it also made it difficult for us to advance.

✅In my opinion, the Russians believed that the Ukrainians would not break through this line of defense. They have been preparing for more than a year. They did everything to make this area well prepared.

✅We are completing the destruction of enemy units that provide cover for the retreat of Russian troops behind their second line of defense.

✅To achieve success in one direction, you always need to mislead the enemy. The main goal [of the offensive near] the village of Velika Novosilka was different.

✅If we stop, the enemy will gather new forces and become stronger. We will reach the borders of Ukraine in 1991... We do not want to see our children and even grandchildren fighting against the Russians, and who will stop them? Only ourselves.

✅The closer to victory, the harder it is. Why? Because, unfortunately, we are losing the strongest and the best. Therefore, now we have to concentrate on certain directions and bring the matter to an end. No matter how difficult it is for all of us."

"Voices of the Army painted well along the defense lines of the Russians in the Zaporozhye direction.

1. Security zone (cover zone, security lane)

The main purpose of the security zone is to slow down the advance of the advancing enemy troops, to exhaust them with battles before they meet with the main forces.

In the security zone, there are both natural obstacles and artificial obstacles (wires, ditches, cliffs and counter-cliffs, anti-tank barriers and "dragon's teeth"), traps are created, positions are equipped for troops that provide cover, and mining is carried out.

The security zone neutralizes the effect of a surprise attack, giving the defenders the opportunity to concentrate the main forces, provide a stable defense and go into a counterattack.

2. The main defensive line

Designed to prevent the further advance of enemy troops that have broken through the security zone and ensure the deployment of counterattacking troops.

It usually consists of 2-3 lines at a depth of 15-20 km, in which both army reserves and part of the front reserves (the second echelons of the front) are deployed, as well as outgoing units.

3. Intermediate defensive line

It is intended to limit access to the depth of the defense of mobile formations of the enemy that have broken through, to stop them (rout) and serves as a profitable starting point for launching decisive counterattacks from the depth of the defense.

Intermediate defense lines are built between the 1st and 2nd defense lines."

"Putin agrees to visit China, his first trip abroad since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him - Bloomberg.

The Kremlin is preparing for Putin's visit to China for the One Belt, One Road forum in October, according to three people familiar with the matter."


My personal opinion is Putin will not actually go to China. There have already been a couple of events he makes claims that he will attend in person but ends up sending someone else in the end. Africa, Turkey off the top of my head.

If he does go, I'm sure there will be pressure put on China to arrest him and I wonder what the result will be with relations with China and the rest of the world if they don't arrest him. I don't think they would arrest him but I hope I am wrong.
