Russian Media Monitor. This is Sergey Mardan. He's not rabid like Solovyov, but his bigotry is huge. "This is our land! It was stolen from us! Ukraine doesn't exist, it was always Russia! Kyiv was always a Russian city and always will be!"
 Russian propagandist argues Ukraine does not exist And to illustrate how wrong he is, here again is the 1991 secession vote results by oblast:  That map needs to be plastered in every school, newspaper, and web site in Russia. Except they'd just say it's a lie.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: I DONT want to rehash this bullshit again but what conservative principals did Trump fail or disappoint you on? He ran on beating ISIS (check), Stopping the Nork missile terror campaign (check) Controlling the border and reducing immigration (check) Building a border wall and making Mexico pay for it (partial check since the demo-commies fought tooth and nail to stop him) Getting NATO to pay their share (partial check due to German corruption) Getting the EU to stop buying Russian oil and gas (partial check again due to german corruption) Getting China China CHINA to practice fair trade and pay tariffs (check) Swearing in the most conservative judges, including 2 very conservative SCOTUS judges (check) And maybe most importantly rebuilding the US military (check). Lowered taxes (check) Rebuilt the economy 2X (check) All of this while fighting the doj/fbi/dnc cabal, the MSM, half the RINO party, fake Russian collusion hoaxes, impeachments, and a literal coup run out of his own bureaucracy!!! He also tried reproachment with Putin and Russia while stopping Nord Steam, being the first to send lethal aid to Ukraine, blowing up a fuck-load of wagner in Syria, and launching Tomahawks over desert, and Trump's term was the only time Russia did NOT invade anyone. Are you one of the "but my bump stocks" gang? Or some feminist still blushing from the "grab them by the pussy" joke? Maybe John Mccain or Romney is your ideal "republican". Please start a new fucking thread about why you hate Trump and stop bringing down this one. TRULY THE HERO WE NEED, not the one we deserve. Can we stay on fucking topic, M24? |

Quote HistoryInteresting engine design and not something I've seen before (then again: I'm no expert). Long con rods and no single cylinder head, but individual cylinder heads with large cooling vanes - is that air cooled? It doesn't look like there are any channels for coolant to flow through. The whole thing is so unlike any diesel or gasoline engine I've seen taken apart. {ETA} And the valve mechanism in each individual cylinder head too; how odd... |

France Uncovers Major Russian Disinformation Operation.
I remember GD posting weird sites the the New Zeeland Daily Telegraph that had fuck all to do with the actual Daily Telegraph. In short when GD posts 'evidence' it's wise to check via the real cited source. "This campaign is based in particular on the creation of fake web pages impersonating national media and government sites as well as the creation of false accounts on social networks" "France condemns these actions unworthy of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council," Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said." https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230613-france-says-uncovers-major-disinformation-campaign-waged-by-russia |

Another night attack and another terrorism of the occupying state against the civilian population of Ukraine.
On the night of June 13, the enemy struck from strategic aviation - eight Tu-95ms bombers from the Caspian region, as well as several strike drones from the south. A total of 14 Kh-101/Kh-555 air-based cruise missiles and up to four Shahed-136/131 unmanned aerial vehicles were launched. The forces and means of air defense of the Air Force destroyed 10 cruise missiles and one attack drone. In the city of Kryvyi Rih, rockets hit a residential sector, in particular, a five-story building... We sympathize with the families of those killed and injured at the hands of terrorists... In the morning, the Russians launched a second attack from the Caspian Sea with three Tu-95ms. According to preliminary data, only one cruise missile reached Ukraine this time, which was destroyed by Ukrainian air defense! 😡 There will be retribution for every Ukrainian life! 🇺🇦 Let's win! ✊ Let's keep the sky!
