Ukrainian intelligence: #Russian bombers fired cruise missiles from #Belarus for the first time

According to them, on the night of June 25, a massive missile and bomb strike was carried out on the territory of #Ukraine from Belarusian airspace, during which 6 Tu-22M3 were used.
What we are not being told by the west and also Russia is that two units of Polish regular military forces and equipments were sent to assist Ukraine dressed as mercenaries, and the Russians destroyed all of them enroute to Lisychansk. cool Since the west didn't complain because they can't complain openly, the damn Russians also feigned ignorance. grin

Each of the two units consists of up to 350 soldiers. grin

Fear Russia. cool

Shascky33:
1. According to cgtn, 95% of donbas have been librated. Lysychansk should fall by tomorrow or monday.
2. Boris johnson in rwanda have admitted ukraine might be encouraged to cede territories to russia as the war could drive the eurozone into a reccession in few months.
3. Germany is currently diving into a huge energy shock as putin have reduced energy export to germany by 60%. They have resolved to using coal to maintain electricity and to save gas as only 52% of gas reservoir for winter have been filled up. Note: a full underground storage can last the entire europe only 2 and a half months without russian gas.
4. Today rouble is 54 to a dollar.
5. Russia is redirecting her oil to alternative markets where europe is expected to go and buy at a more expensive prize.
6. India is buying record high cheap crude from russia, which they refine and sell at higher price to America and her pawns.
7. Putin and his economic team are having the last laugh.
The EU leadership should be awarded the dumbest bunch of politicians in the 21st century.

God1000:
How many weapons will Russia be able to destroy, or do you think those weapons are kept in one place
As much as they come. And it isn't just the destruction of the weapons alone, but the killing of the people that man's them, which leaves many of their comrades demoralized and not wanting to carryon much further. Already, Ukraine government have submitted a draft order to the Rada on the possibility of drafting people with disabilities who agrees to fight for Ukraine. That tells you that Ukraine have well passed the use of much of their reserves because they keep losing men by the hundreds everyday.

Ukraine continue to suffer huge losses as Russia pummels so-called gamechanging weapons supplied by US. The M777 which many western media touted as "a wonder weapon" that will change the tide in favour of the UkroNazis ate being destroyed like chickens.

After losing the city or Severesdonetsk, Uki troops in the city of Lisychansk are now dying regrettably.

The way the west have decided to turn Ukraine into a failed state in the hope of getting it to win against a great powerhouse like Russia is sad and pathetic to behold. embarassed

There is no need for them to cry. They want to wean themselves off Russian gas, and Russia is just helping them to speed up the process. It turns out that the ediots also get a huge number of their coal from Russia, and 70% of their woods from Russia. The EU leadership should be awarded the most dumbest governing set of the century.

Dunce post. The Rouble is already too high because Russia is just as dumb as all you 3rd world admirers of the fascist country. What do you want to buy from there?

Their new Lada will cost 2x the price of a far far better car from BMW because of the Rouble value that is high because the Russians are not importing anything but exporting gas to the EU which will soon stop. Everything will soon crash inside
You are highly misinformed. Do you know why Russian things are cheap while being good? It's not because the Rouble is high or low--its because Russia make everything to be competitive in price and tops it with discounts. That's why they always finds customers even when they price their goods in Dollars. No one sells cheaper than Russia quality goods that are ordinarily expensive elsewhere.

I don't think you understand what is going on!
The Russia reserves in dollars ,euros is growing but it cannot spend it.
Therefore it roubles appreciate
You get the problem now
Guess what effect that would have
The Russian reserve in Euro or dollars isn't growing in real cash, rather, it's shrinking because they no longer plan on holding much of it any way. Therefore, as the Ruble appreciate, is an added advantage since it's now central to Russia's foreign exchange for major commodities such as gas or and oil. If this trend continues, it would dent the Dollars global usage.

Funny enough, the prophecy of Alois Irlmaier reaffirmed what this man is saying. Here:


“ …then I see someone flying, coming from the east, who drops something into the large water, so that something strange will happen. The water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down, then everything is inundated. The whole action will not last long, I see three lines – three days, three weeks, three months, I don’t know exactly but it won’t last long.”

And then:

“There is an earthquake. The southern part of England slips into the water…One part . . . disappears, when the thing falls into the sea…The countries at the sea are endangered of the water heavily, the waves go high as a house; it foams, as if it would boil… Islands disappear… A part of the proud island sinks, if the thing falls into the sea, which the pilot drops. Then the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. What this thing is, I do not know. When it comes, I do not know.”

The Russians already have this Bomb--a nuclear tipped torpedo known as Poseidon.

So as you can see, the UK is always a prime target and the future is in for a worst case scenario.

God help this world.

Europe may sacrifice a piece of Lithuania to avoid World War III. Russia may decide to attack Lithuania to seize the Suvalki corridor (between Belarus and Kaliningrad). In the event of such an attack, NATO countries "may stand on the position that let's sacrifice part of Lithuania, let's give a corridor to Russia ... and prevent escalation into a third world war.

A Pentagon spokesman demanded that Lithuania be expelled from NATO. "Lithuania provokes Russia and puts it in a position where even a small, indecisive state would consider a military solution to the situation, to say nothing of such a power as Russia. Do we want to be destroyed because of little Lithuania? Of course not!

Those Baltic states are a thorn on the geopolitical flesh of NATO. But that is their own cup of tea.

If push comes to shove, Russia will decimate them and nothing would happen. It's alluring when simpletons here often refer to article 5 of NATO, I just dey look them dey laf. cool When it involves great powers like Russia and once the first shot gets fired, it is then many will realise that article 5 of NATO only exist on paper.

Those kids who always masturbate in their tiny wet brains envisioning a 30-member Bloc taking on Russia would be massively shocked and disappointed when the majority of them will instantly declare neutrality to avoid being targeted by Russia's nuclear tipped ICBMs. cool

So many shallow thinkers on this forum section.

If they were smart, they would have seen the handwriting already on the wall from the event that transpired in Syria. The moment the Russians handed a "One hour clear-the-air-notice" to the US military command for the Middle East in Iraq, and next day saw Russia bombing targets destroying US sponsored terrorists in Syria both from the Caspian Sea and in the Syrian airspace, Australia (and some other countries supporting the US project low key) quietly left the warzone and went home from Syria. cool

Reality is a bitchh that opens the eye of the gullibles. cool

I wish Lithuania God's speed on its quest to go to hell. cool

Russia force Ukraine to join USSR?? That's laughable... Do you know Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland are still under occupation today?? Or California, Texas, New mexico are still under occupation?? Texas is even planning to secede now..
Native Indians were expelled from their land and occupied by European settlers... They make sure this people never had a say on their land till today...

Another Ignorant writeup. To make missiles, Russia also Depends on foreign components, Which with sanction is Very difficult to get. Why do you think now Russia have resort to using Sorviet Era missiles that are very powerful but highly inaccurate? Because If they foolishly used up all their precision missiles with No effects, They are back to only having old outdated Soviet Era weapons Which is not fit for modern warfare.

First of all: You become super competitive because your Goods are too cheap.
Secondly: The local economy of the people becomes stronger when they ditch out all the foreign goods and replace them with Locally made or even far cheaper ones (Chinese and Indian)

So it's a lot of things happening at the same time.

Nigeria is not producing NATIOn yet. (We do not have a steel industry so forget it for now, until we do)
Nigeria does not even have a light yet. (you all wonder why they killed Yaradua for trying to resuscitate Ajaokuta and Steel in exchange for building a gas pipeline to Europe.

Yes, but this currency it's performing this fast because it created value for itself. How can one country be an economic power House but still relies on another's foreign currency to thrive? This brouhaha just reveals that every country on this Earth that has something to offer economically will have a stable and valued currency if it demands for the use of it's currency in the settlement for goods and services traded. It's simple. This is what make the dollar what it is today. Take that away and it would just be like every other currency.

1. Pro Ukraine, anti war Russians or whatever you call it e.t.c. there were in thousands. That is very significant.

2. Tough on dissenting rallies because it's a dictatorship regime under a mad man that has been controlling the country for decades and even change the county's constitution to keep him in power much longer like he is som God or czar. They protest and the madman keeps locking them up. If same happens in Nigeria, someone like you will be the first to scream blue murder. And why hasn't USaid initiated a revolution in Nigeria? A putard's post is not complete without throwing some conspiracy nonsense in it grin

3.
If protesters are buying guns and carry out terrorism on the economy, terrorising tax payers with horns/big rigs and (about to) carry out terrorism on law enforcement, then it's no longer a peaceful protest, and Canada was right in taking actions to stop the protest from becoming violent.
You just make me laugh reading your posts. cool

I guess you remember that people carry guns normally around in Canada and in the US?

These same so-called democracy societies will not hesitate to kill you without blinking an eye for being the black man that you are.

Lmao. If you don't know about the shady exploits of USAID and NED, then there is no need to argue further with you.

You even brought Nigeria into this, you could as well have mentioned Ghana, Cameroon, Haiti or even Comoros Island since it's practically every nation on the planet that meets the US color coded revolution strategic criteria. You're one hell of a funny dude. cool

Of course, it's conspiracy theory that the US-led color coded revolutions machine runs through the works of such organizations to fuel crisis in targeted countries. Yes, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan were all conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know they were realities cause you have your head buried deep in the anus of western Lamestream media misinformation and Langley brainwashing machine, as such that even when one of their own, General Westley Clark confessed that the US planned to invade (and did invade covertly and overtly) seven nations within the space of five years, folks like you are still kept in the dark because you no longer can tell the difference between reality and falsehood owing to your warp jingoism.

Ahh!!! Just as it was purely conspiracy theory when the Russians alleged that the US is building biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere, and folks like you scream the "Russia lies" until one of their own again per Victoria Nuland told Senator Rubio that the US has biolabs programs in Ukraine.

It's folks like you that are wired to die with their eyes wide open.

Brother, repent and free yourself from the western prison of misinformation and brainwashing. cool

Ireland is safe haven for big and small companies because of the country's taxation and economic policies which have caused massive problem between EU power houses and Irish government as Google and co all open offices in Ireland, which allow them to pay a little taxes making EU to lose billions every year.

Catalina wants it's independence from Spain, and we all saw how that ended with the Spanish government acting very "tolerant" of the secessionist leaders, locking them up and using teargas and heavy suppression tactics to deal with their supporters. cool

Recently, we all saw how the Canadian truckers were quickly suppressed, forcefully removed from the highway and even arrested some. But it's fine since it's the west, but it's all anti-democracy if it's places like Russia or China.

Can pro-ukraine Russians even fly Ukrainian flags in the street of Moscow without getting arrested and beaten by Russian police? We saw videos of harrassment and arrest when Russians protesters against the war.

What do you say about that.
Police harass people everywhere. How many Russians are really pro Ukraine? People just don't want war and will vent their anger when their government go to war. But it doesn't mean they support the other country.

My friend, the truth is, what is another man's meat is another man's poison. Yes, the security in places like Russia are more tougher on dissenting rallies especially on hot political issues, but this was how they have lived their lives for decades (and not forgetting the US-led west knack for color coded revolutions through programs like USAID, NED etc., which gives them legitimate reason to act tougher against such sensitive rallies, even though it doesn't justify their actions all the time). And has the crackdown on rallies Really stop people from protesting? No. People still protest in Russia, and they will continue doing so whether the Russian government like it or not. By the way,

The west is no saint either. They preach one thing and do the direct opposite. We saw how 'tolerant' the Canadian government was when truckers protested. It's funny how they quickly legislated emergency powers to themselves that ensured that the courts will not stop them from dealing decisively with what they perceived as threat to national security. It's like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
