Foreign Affairs › US Thanks Russia For Returning Astronaut by bonechamberlain(op): 10:14am On Apr 01, 2022 |
NASA grateful for Roscosmos’ safe return of astronaut Mark Vande Hei NASA has thanked its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, for safely returning American astronaut Mark Vande Hei to Earth from the International Space Station on schedule. Vande Hei returned to earth with his fellow ISS passengers, Pyotr Dubrov and Anton Shkaplerov of Russia, on Wednesday, arriving in a Soyuz capsule right on schedule. The trio were flown back to the Russian launch facilities at Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and Vande Hei will return home to Houston from there. Vande Hei has officially become the longest-traveling American astronaut in space since launching to the ISS with Dubrov in April 2021. Both have orbited Earth 5,680 times, traveling over 150 million miles. Thanking “our Roscosmos partners,” NASA Associate Administrator of the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate Kathy Lueders spoke of the two countries’ space teams as a single unit, declaring in a virtual press conference on Thursday that, “We safely brought Mark Vande Hei home.” Even as Washington has struggled to prohibit Russian access to aerospace and technology goods with round after round of punishing sanctions, NASA does not appear to have changed its plans regarding sending American crew members to the ISS, and apparently still hopes to keep the space station “international.” Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin has trolled his American counterparts more than once over the fate of the ISS at the hands of US sanctions, suggesting western astronauts stuck in outer orbit can simply fly home “on their broomsticks” since they can’t use sanctioned Russian rocket engines or warning that without access to repair parts the ISS could malfunction and land on China or India. More recently, a video appearing to show Vande Hei being left behind on the ISS was posted to Telegram, outraging the Western media. However, it turned out to be a hoax. The agency does appear to be serious about shutting down projects it had previously conducted alongside European and American astronauts, however. Roscosmos will no longer maintain the RD-181 rocket engines currently owned by the US, nor will it ship any more such engines to NASA, and it’s still unclear whether there will be future joint missions conducted on board the ISS with the US or Europe. Remaining on board the ISS are NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn, Raja Chari, and Kayla Barron, along with European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev, and Sergey Korsakov. https://www.rt.com/news/553078-nasa-thanks-roscosmos-vande-hei/

pquaver: What is peace? Do you think Chinese are at peace? Or North Koreans or Russians? Oga you can lie to yourself but not we know otherwise
Again you get it wrong. You are the one looking at the war with sentiment. Russia is big and super power but we know that Ukraine cannot invade Russia. Everyone around Russia knows that Russia is not to be trust. Everything nazi Germany did, the Russians were accomplice until when he felt he didn't need them anymore and turn on them.. That was when Russia started knew there was danger. Stalin contacted Churchill who took the French outsed government in and also brought the USA in ( the pearl harbor convinced American). Don't 4get America Was minding his business then when the bomb landed in pearl harbour.. So now after the defeat of nazi Germany.. The USA, French and UK still had suspicious of Russia since perhaps if Hitler didn't turn on them they were OK with what nazi Germany did.. That was what lead to the formation of nato.. An alliance of deterrence against a known Hitler accomplice.. Has Russia changed since the invasion of Poland? No it is constantly in a land grabbing war, check Russia Finland war, Russia Ukraine, Russia Georgia etc.. Russia is constantly looking to amass land.. So tell me when Ukraine got independence it didn't want Russia control unless u don't understand what independence is.. So tell me why should Russia interfere in its internal affairs? Russia invasion recent invasion of its neighbours made Ukraine apprehensive and wanted to join Nato like Poland and Lithuania.. In order to keep Russia away from her.. So how is that Russia problem.. Since Poland Lithuania joined nato have they done anything to Russia? So why can't Ukraine kjoin? Russia does not want it to join solely because it plans to annex it.. the nato bullshit is a cover to do that. Russia share border with nato USA Canada, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, etc which of this nato countries has ever disturbed his peace.. You claim Russia security is a great concern and but Ukraine security from Russia should not be a concern to Ukraine Abi.. Remove sentiment go back and ook the war well and see that Russia is the aggressor. Any business Ukraine does with the west, e no concern Russia. Ukraine is Ukraine, Russia is Russia. Chinese or Russians are not at peace but Nigerians still troop in there in droves, even if you are given visa now you would run to those countries. You gave history lessons, but cleverly avoided to mention that Hitler promised not to attack Russia if they don't join the war. Until Hitler attacked Russia or the Soviet Union. That was what made the Soviet join the war. You guys always shout about Ukraine being independent bla bla bla, since the bay of pigs invasion in under JFK, Cuba has been under economic blockade imagine over 40 years your so called democratic darling the US is strifflling the economy of an Independent country because they want to be their own boss. Or you don't know about the Cuban missile crisis. Go and read about the Monroe doctrine. And come back and tell me if your US has any moral standing to even judge Russia. In international politics you don't antagonize a powerful neighbour not to talk of a nuclear armed one. Just like Mexico, Canada, Argentina and all countries under the so called US sphere of influence as stated in the Monroe doctrine won't want to host any weapon of Russia or join any military alliance with Russia. For over 70 days US and NATO bombed the former Yugoslavia in 1998, US used a chemical agent Orange as the Vietnamese were seriously bruising their ego during the Vietnam war. Abeg I can go on and on. Stop the sentiments and hypocrisy, No country, I repeat no country would allow it's neighbour host weapons of it's enemy or allow them join a military alliance with them. |

pquaver: In this life you always have a choice.. If the refuse to.. We would have remained slaves and nothing anyone whave done.. But the humanity in them developed. Has it developed in China and Russia? I let you answer that. The Chineseand Russian society and government shows u how a Russian or Chinese controlled world will be like.. America might not be a Saint but they are better than the side you think you are cheering... Again I leave you with a rhetorical question.. In the west China or Russia where will u prefer to live and give birth to your children? Your answer is as good as mine... I can live anywhere I can find peace, security, earn a living and societal development. All these can be gotten in even most African countries. I am not the japaa or runaway person, and I have been to the US, I hope to visit China, Russia and others someday. The argument relating to the Russian Ukrainian war is based on sentiments, and absence of objectivity just like you have said, the west has done this for blacks the west is eldorado the west is this and that. So because the west left their doors open for blacks and have some enticing programmes, then whatever they do is sacred no wrong, everything is right. I don't follow that school of thought, I am very objective and it doesn't stop me from visiting US again, UK, Europe wherever. When I see what is wrong I call it out if they do what is right I would shower praises. |

pquaver: My point is clear the west gives you more opportunity as a black man, Muslim etc than the Chinese and Russians and that is a fact.. That is tolerance they do that because they have no choice, after years and centuries of engaging in slavery, enslaving Africans. It's more like a penance. And also they have lots of black folks in their countries still due to slavery, so it's expected that blacks would have a higher chance in the west than Russia and China who had nothing to do with the slave trade. |

I laugh when People think Ukraine even have the slightest chance to win this war.
If not that Putin is treating Ukraine like brothers by now what NATO did in Yugoslavia in the over 70days bombing in 1998 would be a child's play to what Russia would have done to Ukraine in 3days, and the war would be over.
The fact is that Zelensky is not even in control, this war is Russia Vs British, America, Poland etc. |

roGF22: What I know is that before u can kill one general, an army general for that matter, the number of soldiers that must have been killed will be high,..for Ukraine to have killed a whole 6 Russian generals just within a month, I don't believe the "1300" figure reported by Russia,..lailai in Russia the general leads first in war the war front, that's why they have high casualties, they don't stay in tents drawing maps and issuing orders like other country Generals. In world war 2 Russia lost over 400 generals and over 20million soldiers. |
Foreign Affairs › Moscow Offers Update On Casualties From Ukraine Conflict by bonechamberlain(op): 9:07pm On Mar 25, 2022 |
More than 1,300 servicemen have been killed and nearly 4,000 injured in the offensive in Ukraine, the Russian military says
The Russian Defense Ministry provided a rare update on the casualties the country's armed forces have suffered during the ongoing military offensive in Ukraine, on Friday.
“Unfortunately, during the special military operation there have been losses among our comrades-in-arms. To date, 1,351 servicemen have died and 3,825 have been injured,” the deputy head of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy told a media briefing.
The official did not provide any figures on soldiers who have potentially gone missing in action or been taken prisoner amid the conflict. The Ukrainian side has sustained heavy casualties (around 30,000) over the past month, Rudskoy clarified. According to Russian military estimates, around 14,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed, and a further 16,000 have been injured.
Ukraine’s military has sustained major losses in hardware, with nearly 1,600 tanks and other armored vehicles destroyed, he alleged, adding that the Russian offensive has largely destroyed Kiev’s air and anti-aircraft forces, while its navy has effectively ceased to exist.
The official casualty figures provided by the Russian military differ drastically from the estimates from the Ukrainian side. According to the latest claims by Kiev, around 16,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in the conflict, with hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery pieces destroyed.
Kiev, however, remains tight-lipped on its own casualties. The most recent figure was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky in mid-March, when he said that around 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers had died in combat.
Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered Minsk Protocol was designed to regularize the status of the regions within the Ukrainian state.
Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join NATO. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force. https://www.rt.com/russia/552708-ukraine-conflict-military-casualties/

Yes or No! as expected you have shifted the goal post  first from asking whether election would hold in 2024 which I painstakingly answered after arguing with insults that it won't hold.

Igbofam: To show how dumb your reasoning can be. Read what you typed yourself which I helped you make bold.
So in your small mind, there would be an election in 2024 which in essence would simply be to allow Putin to rule for as long AS HE WANTS.
Read that again and again and ask yourself if you actually have an iota of intelligence in your head.
So in essence the election would be a facade since the decision to let Putin rule FOR AS LONG AS HE WANTS according to you has already been made by Putin himself
Talk about the height of a person's dumb reasoning.
There will be no elections in 2024 when the ruler has already been elected in 2022 after he had the Constitution amended to keep him in power till 2039. If you cannot still grasp the simply principle or lack of in that then I am sorry for your school fees wasted  this guy na wa for you. In plain English Presidential Election would hold in 2024, granting Putin another 2 term meaning it's a straight four terms for Putin, that's if he decides to run after his 2024 tenure expires. I know your type you won't give up even when caught flat footed, jumping from pillar to post with insults. If you like continue displaying ignorance, I expect you to go back to the dictatorship discussion.  |

Igbofam: You are beyond obtuse.
Putin came into power for the second time in 2018 and then 2 yrs from the next election he now decides to amend the Constitution through blackmail and threats so he can retain power till 2039 which would be for 21yrs and you call that a democracy?
Will elections hold in Russia for the 21yrs? Yes or No?
When you answer that then your Obtuse sickness just might leave you
And FYI there would be no elections in Russia in 2024 due to Putin's tenure extension amended in the Constitution my God what kind of ignorance are you displaying. I will try to be civil and avoid insults. Since that's your expertise Now read carefully Russia doesn't allow a straight 3 term presidency you do two terms and go but that doesn't stop you from returning after four years. This was practiced when Putin handed over to Medvedev after completing his 2 terms, Medvedev became president for four years and Putin returned to start a new fresh term. The amended constitution doesn't stop elections it only allows Putin to run for as long as he wants. There would be election in 2024. I hope you have learnt now, no go and do more research, I can't continue this spoonfeeding. |

Igbofam: How does your answer relate to my comment? You said Russia holds elections and I specifically responded to that by showing you that Russia is essentially now a dictatorship based on Putin's amendment of their Constitution and you now shifted the goalpost to make it look like I said America is against dictatorships.
Are you high or confused? you are the confused person here, and trying to be clever. Putin amendment of the constitution does it stop elections. The problem with you guys is that you don't research. There would be an election in Russia in 2024. Young man do your objective research and stop depending on a biased media. So based on what you have written, I can also assume that to you there is no problem with a country having a dictator. |

sanpipita: Nazi Germany conducted elections too, conducting elections isn't the issue, dictators conduct elections, issue is how open your democracy is, USA's democracy edges that Russia.
USA Congress can challenge Biden but can Russia Duma do same with Putin? everything running through one man is something many nations avoid. is Turkey's democracy open or China's democracy open. The fact is that if Putin was bowing to the Americans and not challenging their hegemony, he would have been termed the best president since Lenin. The fact that the US has an open democracy shouldn't make you sacrifice your national interest for another country, exactly what the EU is doing. The US obviously has something over EU leaders. |

Igbofam: Do you mean the same Russia that Putin has amended their constitution so he would stay in power till 2039? Which elections are conducted in Russia? Russia is basically a dictatorship now Turkey's Erdogan has been in power since 1993 even before Putin serving either as prime minister of president. China's Xi and his CPC amended their constitution to ensure that his stay in office has no limit. Angela Markel of Germany just lost out recently after serving as Chancellor since 2005. According to Western media those are not dictatorship. |

This is what the war is about for the US, sellin their gas 100times the rate they get from Russia and who suffers, EU of cause.
This was the major reason for the Syrian war, Assad refused to allow gas pipeline from Qatar pass through their territory to Europe. Therefore Assad must go, but they failed as Russia knew that if they succeed their gas dominance in Europe would be over.
Now the US put Zelensky in power particularly for this war, create Russophobia in Europe and make European leaders see Russia as a threat.
