Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Freiheit8472: I don't know what could reach the admin honestly... they're so well protected from scrutiny, maybe a nation-state like England trumpeting the message loud and clear publicly would make an impression? This admin simply ignores things it doesn't want to deal with-and they get away with it for the most part. And supposedly Xiden is VERY popular in Ukraine with them naming roads and shit after him. I suspect that after the war when the average Ukrainian learns what Xiden could have done and given to save thousands of lives, there will be a lot of roads renamed. Sure, the USA has given a lot, more than anyone, but we have/had the opportunity to do SO much more. The USA is the ONLY ONE to be able to give enough aid to force Russia the fuck out or at least beg for negotiations much earlier. But here we/they are with probing infantry attacks, artillery dues, and zerg rushing HMMV attacks using semi-auto M2's...

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: @Capta When Easterner originally was volunteering aid to the troops he was helping collect needed items and then working with a younger man, Leo, and a woman they would drive a van up to a UA unit and drop off the collected supplies and gear. Then folks here wanted to help Easterner’s efforts so we started sending gear and transferring money. The money was going to Leo’s account. This went on for months with Easterner posting photos of the supplies bought and collected and some of the deliveries, including accessories for Predator hero’s new AR15. More recently when Easterner signed up to serve in a combat unit and went to training he helped Leo set up the Garrison account here (Garrison being their little team’s name). But then Leo apparently got offended by Easterner leaving to fight with a different unit and quit talking to and helping him. Some guys continued sending money and gear to Leo/Garrison and some redirected their contributions directly to Easterner. Easterner eventually dropped out of that first unit as he thought he might slow them down. He went back to making more cami nets to send to gifts fighting. He also applied to a new unit and met Irish and a Brit whose name escapes me now. Today we learn that apparently in the background check process Leo disavowed that Easterner ever did volunteer work with him. Sounds like that caused complications for Easterner and thus his message today. Easterner always has been and remains a stand up man determined to serve his new homeland. Please correct any errors I might have made, those who know. Thank you for that update and explanation. Whenever $$$ gets involved, relationships and partnerships get strained.

I know there are always 2 sides to a story and relationships are complicated, but Easterner was purposely vague and didn't come out naming names even though it's obviously personal to him. Not a fan of him getting his name and personal conversations being put out for everyone to see by a guy who literally would just pop in every once in a while and say "we need money". I'm sure Leo is in a spot none of us would ever wish to be in but there are still ways to go about it. Talk to him man to man and not this teenage shit. Don't type paragraphs about him (easterner) in front of the entire world when it would take 1/10 of the words to hash it out privately

Regarding that Russian Lancet drone factory posted earlier, it's been Geo located.
https://twitter.com/GwarWorin/status/1680599582856605699 "Two hundred thousand are already ready, another million are on the way" (C). "A quote from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones fits perfectly with the scale of production of the Lancet kamikaze drones. According to the creator of the "Lancets" Alexander Zakharov, he needed a segway to go around all the production shops." From a Russian mill blogger TG channel. Cant make this shit up 🤣 Then proceeds top show the same room with 3 pictures with 30-40 lancets in final assembly. https://twitter.com/GwarWorin/status/1680601732697432068 Meanwhile their soldiers on brigade level beg the Russian public for FPV drones and get almost none. A Lancet might cost 20 k USD and wont lie ,, its probably one of their most successful weapons since its western copy with western chipsets. Lancet utilizes the Jetson TX2 module by NVIDIA as its onboard control equipment and the Xilinx Zynq SoC module by Xilinx, an American company owned by AMD, for implementing programmable logic. https://uaposition.com/main/analysis-opinion/hacking-the-lancet-ways-to-defend-against-a-russian-drone/  
https://en.newizv.ru/news/2023-01-18/the-entertainment-is-over-izhevsk-is-converting-a-shopping-center-into-a-drone-assembly-plant-394119 In Izhevsk, a shopping center is being converted into a drone assembly plant Residents of Izhevsk demand not to turn them into potential targets for strikes. A shopping and entertainment center in the middle of a residential area will be converted into a conveyor assembly of drones. Tenants have already received eviction notices.People and local businesses cannot explain the nonsense with the "secret factory". |

Those are the numbers from the Ukrainian MOD, so they're likely a little inflated in some ways. However, the Russians have been visually confirmed to have lost over 2,000 tanks, so the actual number of tank losses may be pretty close to that ~ 4,000 number. The fact that they've pulled T62s and T55s out of storage and sent them to Ukraine should indicate that they've taken massive losses. I really want to see a T34 in action in 2023... Soon, hopefully. Haven't they already used some T-34-85 tanks? Perhaps provided to LPR/DPR forces? No. Back in 2014 some “separatists” pulled an IS-3 off a monument snd got it running. It used for a while then recaptured. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: No. Back in 2014 some “separatists” pulled an IS-3 off a monument snd got it running. It used for a while then recaptured. The funny thing was they wrote "To Kyiv" on the tank and it did end up in Kyiv after being captured by UA forces. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Easterner: I can post a photo of website sales from last year and this. In case anyone wonders, I haven't worked in America for over 18 months. Working as a commercial superintendent I easily made $2000/week + expenses. Last year I believe my sales (not profit) were $2100/year. So safe to say I took a big financial hit staying here to fight. As a carpenter by trade my mentor never blamed me for taking knowledge and applying it to supporting myself and family. I can be attempted to be shamed for sending 9 helmet covers I made in a couple days to America with some patches. My family comes first. Until someone else steps up to support my woman and her daughter, you can STFU about that. I do have dozens of communications with various recruiters, brigades, and battalions. The commissar was happy to look and see my efforts to join were continuous despite not being a combat veteran. I have not given up the effort to fight for Ukraine. It's actually how I found a group to volunteer with, searching for any way to join the fight. With that knowledge I have made covers for many new brothers. Many other foreigners that don't have an organization looking out for them. I thank the many members here that stepped up to help. Easterner you have nothing to prove to us who have followed your efforts. We back you 100%. Let us know when we can help. |

I've made a big mistake in trusting some people, trying to help them, and allowing manipulation to occur for too long. It's taken a piece of me and hurts deeply. We have enough real problems to deal with and there are those that I love and care about that must come first. There's no point in dragging people through the mud. If that is the level these people want to go to, they can go there alone. My conscience is clear, I have many new brothers to look after, and no one will ever shame me for caring enough to try and help. Слава Україні You’re a better man than me Easterner. I think the guys want and should know. Leo fucked him since he went to go fight. And has continued ghosting him and topped the icing on the prick cake very recently when he ignored requests to verify that easterner had been volunteering for the war effort….AND the guy held back on making him an OFFICIAL volunteer throughout his tenure… well, volunteering. Despite this, easterner volunteered his brains out for the cause. Easterner IS, after all, a mature adult-not akin to drama and making drama…. (And this little dweeb took advantage of his stoicism). I held my tongue, since everything donated to him helps Ukraine even if he’s a dick. But his last move hurts Ukraine by holding Easterner back from moving forward. So, safeties off. I appreciate the info. Will act accordingly. The generosity many extended was due primarily through Easterner’s VOLUNTARY efforts to educate us and share his personal info. That builds TRUST which is important when sending funds or gear overseas. Trust is earned through time and effort. Who is Leo? @Capta When Easterner originally was volunteering aid to the troops he was helping collect needed items and then working with a younger man, Leo, and a woman they would drive a van up to a UA unit and drop off the collected supplies and gear. Then folks here wanted to help Easterner’s efforts so we started sending gear and transferring money. The money was going to Leo’s account. This went on for months with Easterner posting photos of the supplies bought and collected and some of the deliveries, including accessories for Predator hero’s new AR15. More recently when Easterner signed up to serve in a combat unit and went to training he helped Leo set up the Garrison account here (Garrison being their little team’s name). But then Leo apparently got offended by Easterner leaving to fight with a different unit and quit talking to and helping him. Some guys continued sending money and gear to Leo/Garrison and some redirected their contributions directly to Easterner. Easterner eventually dropped out of that first unit as he thought he might slow them down. He went back to making more cami nets to send to gifts fighting. He also applied to a new unit and met Irish and a Brit whose name escapes me now. Today we learn that apparently in the background check process Leo disavowed that Easterner ever did volunteer work with him. Sounds like that caused complications for Easterner and thus his message today. Easterner always has been and remains a stand up man determined to serve his new homeland. Please correct any errors I might have made, those who know. I don't recall, was Easterner himself in any of the photos that he sent? If so it would be fairly easy to prove that he has been volunteering. This thread could establish a timeline. Yes he was in several. Sounds like he was able to verify his volunteering by other means. |
