    Ukr: "Need a new army!"
    US: Sure Sr!
    US: Anything else? Launch codes for the nuclear missiles in Europe? Enriched uranium and nuclear scientist to restart your nuclear program? The spear of destiny perhaps?

    I find it hilarious how they pretend to ask or request as in "if possible" while it clearly looks like a demand or else, those people are so entitled!

    Meanwhile, today (29 December) there's been the largest number of missiles fired at Ukrainian targets since the start of the conflict. The onslaught seems to be significant, not only targeted at power infrastructure, but also at Ukrainian anti-missile systems. Reports indicate that this is still continuing.

    This is a wild card story I don't understand at all. Maybe others know what's going on.

    North Korea has delivered arms to Russia’s Wagner group: White House
    Insider Paper - AFP - December 22, 2022 11:17 am

    https://insiderpaper.com/north-korea...r-white-house/


    North Korea has delivered arms to Russia’s private military group Wagner, the White House said Thursday, calling the group a “rival” for power to the defense and other ministries in the Kremlin.

    The US will boost sanctions on the Wagner group following North Korea’s sale of rockets and missiles to them last month, in violation of UN Security Council resolutions, said White House national security spokesman John Kirby.
    There is a case in which this be a valid and actual worthy situation to be in

    Modern Russian factories use a very different approach and minerals are extracted and processed with more modern/efficient ways

    This has a side effect in that shells for mortars and howitzers built in soviet times tend to misfire or just not be as effective as original soviet built shells. Several things affect and cause this

    - The explosive charge behaves different due to how the minerals were processed. For example you could get a 152mm shell high explosive charge have a better initial explosion than the ones built 40 years ago, then this means that barrel that may have come from soviet stock may not handle the shell speed correctly, as it expected a lesser speed because the charge was less effective back then. This would cause random or unknown side effects
    - The projectile may be built with different kind of steel, which also affects how it behaves inside the barrel of a mortar or howitzer, this also may cause it to completely misfire or land completely out of target because the air and other stuff will cause it to deviate from the trajectory. This still happens even with old shells, from one batch to another coming from different regions or factories you get different effect on landing but it's even worse with newer shells

    So countries like NK, which have plenty old stocks of soviet era shells, may have still also factories that process minerals and steel the old way, making them more stable and compatible with the soviet designed/built howitzers and mortars we still currently use all over the place

    If they have factories like that, then it would make sense to source shells, barrels and other replacements/parts for all those older soviet era machines, because as much as you try to follow the original/compatible design, newer processes affect a lot how the finished parts/shells/charges work out there on the field

    But there's obviously one thing here, The Wagner uses modern/current versions of everything, they don't use older equipment and they even use western rifles and other stuff in a lot of ways. So they don't have this problem with compatibility, at all

    Would had been more credible if they had not been mentioned at all, but that's where the mistake was made and how it clearly displayed it was a giant lie. Those people creating those lies, why can't they just do at least a bit of research before coming up with their BS, so they don't end up looking like fools every time?

    Astonishingly, Ukraine's electric rail system has been so disrupted that they've brought out and fired up steam locomotives from museums, and these are now being deployed.

    Alexander Mercouris reported on this yesterday, saying that he wasn't sure whether to believe this or not. But in his video update today he says he's been contacted by a number of people who assure him that this is really happening.

    I do have to say, it'd be a great shame if these very beautiful steam engines were to be destroyed by Russian missiles.

    Excellent writing Mashika. Tragic also. Writing is what remains. Also when nobody can read. Gogol it is.

    A neighbour of mine here, she is not French, replying to my half-question, asked when in her house: “I don’t see any books over here..” :
    “Oh, well.. as soon as I finish a book I throw it away.”

    Surrounded by Morombies.
    I always found it shocking that people would do that, read a book and throw it away... I just can't figure out the logic of doing that. In my old home, we had books all the way back from like 1920sh, some so old and used you could open them and the book would break apart, or even then figure out that it had been eaten by bugs over the years completely wasting it

    Funny couple stories

    Gogol, most of my friends in Mexico assumed he was Russian, they could not understand that Ukrainian born and Russian born are two different things, it was the same old "USSR is Russia" mentality. Hard times trying to make them understand the difference

    Also for some reason they could not understand the satire, it was lost on them, they just took it as some kind of 'story to read' and just that, no getting through with them about how or what he was criticizing or referencing

    ~

    Another Mexican friend thought that Karl Marx was Russian, some long ago he posted on Facebook about Karl Marx birthday and for some reason he posted in Russian but he said "Karla Marxa" or something like that, when i explained that he had turned him into 'her' he said "oh i have not used Russian in a long time, sorry for the mistake", then it was pointed out that he wasn't even Russian to begin with so why use Russian to celebrate his birthday? Long story short that very same day the post was deleted and the friendship was deleted as well... lmao!

    Magufuli was one of a handful of national political leaders who all died suddenly and unexpectedly after opposing the roll out of the quackcine in their countries.

    It's highly likely they were all murdered.

    The other ones I remember were Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi, Hamed Bakayoko of Ivory Coast and Jovenel Moise of Haiti.

    Magufuli struck me as being the bravest and least corrupt of the lot. As well as the convid clown show and the mining rights he was ruffling big feathers on several other issues too.

    Here's part of his convid bravery.


    Source: https://www.bitchute.com/video/V032CHZ1yC1d/


    Everytime stuff like that happens and then 'just by chance' the next president/government in that country becomes a sell out and extreme 'West friendly' i get reminded of this or similar

    "The CIA secretly created an undetectable ‘heart attack gun’"
    https://allthatsinteresting.com/heart-attack-gun
    https://www.wearethemighty.com/popul...rt-attack-gun/

    "Chávez: U.S. Using Cancer as Weapon"
    https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats...ncer-as-weapon

    But who knows. It just seems very suspect that it happens to only certain people at certain specific times and all of them share the same thing, they are not pro-western or want to nationalize or are 'my country first' ideologists

    I remember reading somewhere, back at the beginning of the operation, that Russia would soon be driven back to the mid 20 century or so. How the tables have turned.... lol

    Or like we like to say "Oh how the turns have tabled!" So ironic that it ended up completely reversed in the most unexpected ways

    Some may call it Karma, but i don't know

    What could be expected, it's always "lie by omission". Well trained monkeys will do the rest and assume it was a Russian missile

    It works so well, the manipulation of perception, that people by now do not need any government to tell them what to think, they 'figure out' on their own how to keep the lie/veil of ignorance active and immediate so their understanding/perception of reality remains solidly unchanged

    (...)
    Yes, Mashika. (Thank you). But I would like us to think about the following sentence, which only slightly, but decisively, alters your sentence which I am quoting in blue:

    people by now do not need any government to tell them what to think, they 'figure out' on their own how to keep the lie/veil of ignorance transparent and ineffective so their understanding/perception of reality remains solidly unchanged

    You see, my grandparents on my father’s side lost their second son in the Nazi concentration camps. My grandparents on my mother’s side lost two of the three houses they had acquired through hard work during bombardments. All four of them, as well as my parents lost their savings due to the monetary reform imposed by the Belgian government in the late 40s, whereby suddenly all smaller bank notes became worthless (the rich, warned in advance, got out of it unscathed). This instilled in my family, and in me, as in the majority of Belgian families, deep distrust of all governments.

    So the ones who now support the policies of the Belgian government, whether in Covid matters or in Nato-Russia war matters, do so NOT because they have been hypnotised or "mass formationed" (to quote the name of a silly theory) but because they are opportunists and cowards.

    The French philosopher Alain Badiou has said (quote of the spirit, not the letter)): "The human subject only remains unbroken and entire if he/she remains faithful to what she/he holds to be true”.

    They know the falsities and hence the truth, but they choose not to be faithful to truth.

    As subjects (to be understood here more or less as "person") they are broken.

    Gogol, most of my friends in Mexico assumed he was Russian, they could not understand that Ukrainian born and Russian born are two different things, it was the same old "USSR is Russia" mentality. Hard times trying to make them understand the difference

    (...)
    Well Mashika... I have to shamefully admit that I did not know that Gogol was not Russian (he was Ukrainian, have I got that right?). But he did write his masterworks in Russian, didn’t he?, and hence belongs to Russian literature and Russian-language civilisation — doesn’t he?
