Macron adds France to list of countries ponying up money for Pavels artillery plan.

Does it at the same time he refuses to rule out troops so it hardly gets noticed but it's a done deal.

Micron and Sebastien yelled why bireucrats during 2 years didn't managed to increase 155 mm shells production in France....according to them increasing of arty shells production in France will reduce unemployment in France....therefore shells production should be increased.
 
1938 th. Denmark.
Some journalists had articles that there is just some little problem somewhere in Suddetenland and Austria but Hitler isn't threat for Denmark.
Later Hitler had justified occupation of Denmark exactly like Putin now is using: security concerns, Germany should be protected etc.
Then Hitler installed Gestapo chief in Denmark and this dude immediately ordered to install torture chamber in prison's basement and change administration in municipalities....also ofc perssonel in Police.
Unlike common mainstream history shit about Waffen SS ( for unskilled debiloids ), actually exactly Gestapo and " Police " were used to torture and execute victims....
So history from Dreams and nice journalists till Gestapo ruled prison with nice and busy torture cell in basement.

Yeah, didn't watch the interview but my guess is he got a stupid question and just gave what he perceived to be the tougher answer when there is a less than 0 chance of it ever happening.

There's probably another 10 major escalations Europe can implement before they start running out of options.

Hell Europe is still sending 40% of produced artillery to other countries that aren't even fighting wars.

Yes. And this is because business is protected by law and still should follow their contracts they had signed vs customers.

Ammo and weapons sales contracts are very complicated and with a lot of clauses and also fines in....
You had signed contract= you should deliver...OR....shit will happen and reputation too will be gone....

Prominent Russian human rights activist Oleg Orlov gets 2 1/2 years in prison for criticizing war​

Updated 9:39 AM BRT, February 27, 2024

A veteran human rights campaigner who criticized the war in Ukraine was convicted Tuesday by a Moscow court of “repeatedly discrediting” the Russian military and sentenced to 2½ years in prison.

Oleg Orlov, 70, co-chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights group Memorial, had rejected the case against him as politically motivated, saying in his closing statement: “I don’t regret anything and I don’t repent anything.” He also denounced the war again.

Orlov was handcuffed and taken into custody after the verdict, concluding a retrial in which he earlier was convicted and fined. Underscoring the low tolerance for criticism of the war by the government of President Vladimir Putin, the prosecution had appealed, seeking a harsher punishment.

The prosecution claimed that Orlov was motivated to write the anti-war article by hostility toward “traditional Russian spiritual, moral and patriotic values” and hatred of the military, according to the independent Russian news outlet Mediazona.

In a statement, Memorial called Orlov’s sentence “an attempt to drown out the voice of the human rights movement in Russia and any criticism of the state.” It vowed to continue its work.



The verdict drew a crowd of dozens of supporters, including 18 Western diplomats, Mediazona reported.

“I am alarmed and concerned by today’s outcome. Oleg Orlov has personally fought for the rights of Russians for more than 45 years,” U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy said in a statement. “In previous times, his efforts have been awarded at the highest levels. In today’s Russia he is being locked away for them.”

In October 2023, a Moscow court had convicted Orlov and fined him 150,000 rubles (about $1,500 at the time), a significantly milder punishment when compared to the long prison terms others have received for criticizing the war.

Both the defense and the prosecution appealed, and a higher court voided the fine, sending the case back to the prosecutors. The new trial began earlier this month, another step in an unrelenting crackdown on dissent that the Kremlin ratcheted up after sending troops into Ukraine in February 2022.

Also on Tuesday, a court in Grozny, the capital of Russia’s largely Muslim republic of Chechnya, sentenced a man to 3 1/2 years in prison for publicly burning a Quran in front of a mosque. The Russian state news agency Tass reported that Nikita Zhuravel admitted he did so on the instructions of Ukrainian special services in return for a payment.

In September 2023, Chechnya’s authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov posted a video of his son appearing to beat Zhuravel in detention. Kadyrov praised his son for “defending his religion.”

Tuesday also marked the ninth anniversary of the killing of Boris Nemtsov, a charismatic Russian opposition figure. The 55-year-old former deputy prime minister was shot to death as he walked along a bridge adjacent to the Kremlin on the night of Feb. 27, 2015.

A makeshift memorial on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge where Nemtsov was slain still draws mourners who leave bouquets of flowers. His death was a blow to the political opposition, as was the death in prison this month of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

An officer in the security forces of the Kremlin-backed Kadyrov was sentenced to 20 years for firing the shots that killed Nemtsov. Four other men were sentenced to 11 to 19 years for their involvement.

Another example of what a shit country they are.
 
BTW european companies managed to negotiate with saudites and Egypt that they had allowed to supply later than had been signed in contracts....at least these appeared understanding types about our situation.
Otherwise we had to pay very huge compensation payments and blamed reputation.
 
With IF Navalny was in office we already had World War 3. I don't know why westerners are dreaming that he was better than Putin. Worse btw.
With Nemtsov in office war in Ukraine newer had happened. Therefore he died earlier, before Navalny ( imperialist, just was problem cos was concurrent for Throne ).
 
You know, I wonder about the military assistance "held up in congress". It would seem trivial to do smaller packages, and Biden's team certainly knows some "border security" deal would be good for his reelection chances. Think that behind the scenes, this might be a bipartisan push to pressure the Ukrainians into a course of action they really don't want to take. Not a CT, not really, it just doesn't add up.

I suspect the pressure is to get them to concede something in a peace deal- global economic stability and the threat of China suggests this.

Biden actually initially even agreed to sign seperate financial bill for border control and monitoring, while Mike told that this bill is bad bill cos doesn't include deportations for already located in U.S immigrants.

He's been pretty accurate with his analysis & predictions throughout the entire conflict. That's what happens when one has a decent understanding of history and can look at events objectively. The Ukrainian cheerleader channels on the other hand have been doing about as well as Ben Hodges.

I look at both pro-UA (Deny Davydov, Artur Rehi, Combat Veteran Reacts) and pro-Russian (History Legends, Military Summary, Weeb Union) youtubers. One difference I notice is that there is definitely more cheerleading happening in pro-UA channels on how they're beating Russia. Almost every video is about how Russia troops/tanks/planes/ships getting annihilated and how Ukraine is achieving one success after another. The pro-Russian channels are a little bit more grounded in reality, and will actually talk about their losses and failures. They are also more likely to analyze the overall tactical picture, although often being too optimistic for Russia.

If you want the best non-bias source on YouTube, check Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Army official channel). While you won't get daily updates, there is an Austrian army colonel that posts his no bullshit take on the war every 2 or 3 months.
 

Putin bans petrol exports as Russia runs on fumes​



"The Kremlin has announced a six-month ban on petrol exports after Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries left Vladimir Putin’s regime scrambling to meet domestic demand.

The ban, which comes into force on March 1, was confirmed by a spokesman for deputy prime minister Alexander Novak who said it would allow for “planned maintenance” of refineries.

It follows attacks on Russian facilities by Ukrainian drones in recent months, which have harmed the country’s ability to refine crude oil into usable products such as petrol and diesel.

Russia previously imposed a similar ban between September and November last year in order to tackle high domestic prices and shortages.

Russia is already voluntarily cutting its oil and fuel exports by 500,000 barrels per day in the first quarter as part of Opec+ efforts to support prices."




Wow! Who would've thought that attacking a sovereign nation would make them bomb your oil refineries?

I think that Youtubers are mainly to earn money and they will not care is this covid or war in ukraine theme etc type of entertainment... More $ from channel = better.
 
Rasmussen and other idiots are dreaming that for example they might use as meat like kurds other ppl and to use them as next meat for meat grinder..
Putin really will be happy to see for example latvian troops in Ukraine. deNazification warranted cos ukr lies and cocky idiots attention during 30 years. So Huelensky Ermak ( Yermak ( regime might start ASAP to prepare for deNazificaciton done in real life.
ukrainains are considering Latvians as 2 nd tier humans and therefore best idea for KGB might be to install them in Ukraine... .
