WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

[Tintin]

Ooof. This is some explosion, somewhere in the SVO zone. What's happening here, and I'm uncertain how this was maneuvered into the target, Russian soldiers rigged a KAMAZ truck with a whole load of explosive materiel and sent it towards a Ukrainian position. That's some explosion at the end with an enormous blast wave:

A Russian Armed Forces drone operator was searching for the enemy—however, upon closer inspection, he realized they were civilians. With a skillful maneuver, he changed the drone’s flight path and sent it further away. Now compare this case to the HUNDREDS of strikes by the AFU on civilians (description via Ukraine Watch on Telegram):

"Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine has leaked online, and it’s a devastating blow for Zelensky. We are learning that we could be days away from the end of the war in Ukraine, or at least the framework of what that will look like, no more loss of life, no more money going to Ukraine. We've got some huge developments overnight that we need to talk about."

🇺🇦⚔️🇺🇦 "Hundreds of people are being held in appalling conditions - without water, food or toilet paper": Ukrainian artist Yevgeny Baraban told how mobilized soldiers are treated in Kyiv

On February 7, he reported that he was mobilized during a medical examination.

"One person had three epileptic seizures - the medic who came after the third time tried to prove that it was alcoholism. There were also drug addicts with withdrawal symptoms and obvious invalids at the distribution point," he said.

Yevgeny published a video with an epileptic and a man limping across the parade ground, who is being led to a military bus.

Trump says his meeting with Putin can take place `at the right time’

US leader also said that he has had a telephone conversation with Russian president after his inauguration

WASHINGTON, February 10. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump said that he could meet with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at the right time and that he expects to have more phone conversations with the Russian leader in the future.

"I would imagine I would be meeting with Putin at the right time," Trump said, speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. When asked whether he has had a telephone conversation with Putin before or after his inauguration on January 20, Trump said: "I’ve had. Let’s just say I’ve had. And I expect to have more conversations," he added. Commenting on the Ukraine conflict, Trump stressed: "We have to get that war ended. <…> And we have to get it ended soon."

When a reporter said that everybody is going to assume that he is talking to Putin regularly unless he clarified that, Trump replied: "Well, they can assume. It makes sense. Well, I don’t want to talk about it. If we are talking, I don’t want to tell you about the conversation, it’s too early, but I do believe that we are making progress."

On Saturday, The New York Post reported that Trump had spoken to Putin on the phone to try to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict.

Later, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could neither confirm nor deny reports about contacts between the two leaders.

🇷🇺✈️💪 Rostec developed a new way to increase the strength of aircraft parts by 20%

UAC enterprises are started to produce parts with bionic design. The basic idea of such a design is to use solutions suggested by nature itself for the power parts of an airplane airframe. In appearance, assemblies designed in this way and manufactured by additive technology are different from traditional parts. They have branching and mesh-like structures inherent in plants or mammalian bones, for example.

For example, a sample of a bracket using biodesign was made by Sukhoi Design Bureau. It is an aluminum part for the Su-57 aircraft.

“The product looks more like the bone of some prehistoric animal than a fifth-generation fighter part. The new bracket is more than 10% lighter than similar parts made using traditional technologies. At the same time, it was possible to increase its specific strength by 20%,” Rostec said.

In addition to the above advantages, bionic design coupled with additive manufacturing technologies allow saving expensive raw materials, such as complex alloys or rare metals. This approach makes it possible to spend 10-30% less material in some technological processes. Naturally, this has a positive effect on the price of products.

Kursk region. The Winged Ones report:

The footage shows a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, tortured and killed by bastards, who was tortured and then shot.

This is far from the first case . Many bodies were found in the liberated territories both in the Kursk region and in the DPR. The Ukrainian Armed Forces simply shot civilians when retreating; those who did not agree to leave with them, those who managed to hide, survived. This happened recently in Selidovo, and now it is happening in the Kursk region.

✨ The systematic manner in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces committed atrocities in the Kursk region, as well as the testimony of prisoners (mainly former prisoners) directly indicate direct orders from Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders to torture and shoot civilians .

The goal of such actions is quite pragmatic. To provoke the anger of the Russian people on the topic of protecting their own population. All facts are documented, every Nazi creature will be punished, even decades later.

They will get everyone out from under the ground. Many of them have already been destroyed. Morons like to film the torture of old people on their phones.

Trump Insulted Putin🗣👊 The Russians Are Storming Sverdlikovo⚔️💥 Military Summary For 2025.02.10

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-jM5bTWwJDc

Personal note: Quite nasty of Trump to tell Putin Russia won't be allowed to take over the Donbas region, while at the same time Trump is talking about annexing a number of countries (Canada, Greenland, Gaza, Panama) AND grabbing Ukraine's minerals. In my view, Trump is getting increasingly concerned about USA's 37 trillion $ debt and is looking for ways to loot countries around the world.

In Ukraine, USAID aids US hegemony
The gutting of USAID will hurt people in need worldwide. Yet as the case of Ukraine shows, the agency has also been used to spread conflict and propaganda.

The Trump administration’s gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has imperiled global relief programs that rely on US funding. While the State Department has issued exemptions for life-saving programs, recipients of US foreign assistance, such as HIV treatment groups in South Africa, remain in limbo.

With their rapid dismantling of a major aid program, Trump and his oligarch consigliere, Elon Musk, are hurting lives and livelihoods across the planet, all while further consolidating power in an unaccountable elite circle.

Yet an honest appraisal must also reckon with the fact that USAID is not strictly a humanitarian operation, but a vehicle to destabilize some of the very countries it claims to help. Concurrently, to manufacture consent for US meddling abroad, USAID and related government programs have subsidized propaganda aimed at the US taxpayers footing the bill.

Today, the most expensive and arguably most damaging USAID project has come in Ukraine and Russia, where the agency has been an integral part of a longstanding US government strategic effort to weaken Moscow.
