nateDZA: Haba Jama'a, i thought this guy debunked misinformation about Russia's so called Big land mass and size, now say e don big pass Pluto...this kyn life!
The IDIOT who "debunked" Russia's actual landmass size shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone with a functioning brain
ChangetheChange: Made in china carrier America still has the best and largest numbers of carriers and they are still building more advanced carriers
You don't have to be an IDIOT the USA has 11 aircraft carriers with 10 belonging to the Nimitz Class and a single Gerard Ford Class and they aren't building any additional one
joyandfaith: Russia should stop grabbing lands and return lands they grabbed from other nations. US has no official language. All natives languages are recognised. US did not actually grab lands in real sense. Britons migrated in north America and settled there. British colonies were formed. Colonies later became usa and Canada. North America case is that of tenants becoming landlords. Even now landlords are not complaining but Russian neighbours are complaining. The difference.
you must be an IDIOT most of Siberia was uninhabited before the Russian Empire acquired most of it
Portugal, Spain and Italy are not far from Libya, Egypt and Tunisia.
Good for Isreal too.
Sorry Russia, you have treated your customers badly.
To those laughing at Western Europe they they would freeze in winter. Y'all have never travelled outside the shithole to realise how far these countries have developed/excelled, and they have lots of money. They are extremely rich.
Places like Nigeria are like 150 years behind
It's Russia's matter that will give IDIOTS like you including IgboFam,etc the worst cases of Myocardial Infarction

Only Germany took on more than 12 countries, if it wasn't USA intervention on Russia, Hitler would have taken Russia too. go and read history and stop the noise.
The US lend lease of armoured vehicles and aircraft to the Soviet Union from 1941–1945 during the Second World War amounted to only 12% of Soviet's total aircraft and armoured vehicle production

Igbofam2: Vladimir Putin fired five generals from the Russian military's top brass, per local media outlets.
The dismissals come just days out from the 100-day mark of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has been faring poorly in its military incursion, sustaining staggering losses.
Russian President Vladimir Putin fired five generals from the military's top brass this week amid Moscow's stumbling invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's dismissal of the generals was reported by the Russian newspaper Pravda, which cited an extract of the decree that a source confirmed to be authentic.
Per the outlet, the decree listed five major generals — Vasily Kukushkin, Alexander Laas, Andrey Lipilin, Alexander Udovenko, and Yuri Instrankin — as well as police colonel Emil Musin.
All five major generals held leading positions in the military for their various regions.
Their firing comes weeks after two generals were fired for performing poorly in Ukraine.
According to UK intelligence, Lieutenant General Serhiy Kisel, who commanded the elite 1st Guards Tank Army, was suspended for failing to capture Kharkiv. Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Igor Osipov, who commanded Russia's Black Sea Fleet, was fired after the Moskva battleship was sunk in April.
Meanwhile, Russia's top commander for the Ukraine war, Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, has not been seen for weeks, leading some US officials to speculate that he might have been removed from his post.
At least 25 Russian generals and commanders have been killed in action amid the Ukraine war.
Apart from the reshuffling and culling in the ranks of Russia's military elite, trouble has also been brewing among rank-and-file officers involved in the conflict. More than 100 members of Putin's "private army' were fired for refusing to fight in Ukraine, and hundreds of Russian soldiers have deserted the military.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has gone unexpectedly poorly, particularly after it suffered "devastating losses" of its junior officers. Western officials estimate that some 15,000 Russians have been killed in the invasion. Ukraine, meanwhile, claimed it has killed 30,000 Russian troops.
Friday marks the 100th day of the Ukraine war, which began when Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of the country on February 24.
Igbofam2: EU leaders have struck a deal to ban most Russian oil imports as they seek to deprive Russia’s president Vladimir Putin of revenues to fund his war in Ukraine.
The embargo, which was agreed after weeks of difficult negotiations, will include oil and petroleum products but contains a temporary exemption for oil delivered from Russia by pipeline. This was intended to grant Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic extra time to wean themselves off crude oil supplies from Russia.
The agreement signed late on Monday night paved the way for the EU to enact a heavily delayed sixth package of sanctions, which includes measures to hit Russian banks and individuals.
The deal followed a stand-off on the oil embargo between the commission and Hungary, which complained Brussels was failing to consider the country’s energy security needs given its reliance on the Russian Druzhba pipeline.
Charles Michel, president of the European Council, hailed the deal, writing on Twitter that it would cut “a huge source of financing for [Russia’s] war machine” and would deliver maximum “pressure on Russia to end the war”.
The ban will include seaborne oil purchases, which cover about two-thirds of Europe’s imports from Russia. In addition, pledges from Germany and Poland to stop oil imports via the northern part of the Druzhba pipeline are expected to take coverage of the ban to 90 per cent by the end of the year.
European governments have not settled on how long the carve-out of Russian oil supplied via pipeline will last, declaring only that it will be “temporary” and that they will return to the matter as soon as possible.
Keeping pipelines out of any initial embargo was a crucial demand for Hungary, which had argued that a ban would put its economy at risk because of its dependence on Russian crude. Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s prime minister, also secured measures to ensure that Budapest could still obtain Russian oil from other sources if there was an “accident” with Druzhba, which crosses Ukraine.
Asked about the length of the temporary carve-out, Ursula von der Leyen, commission president, said it was “very clear” that member states would revert to this topic.
Croatia, she said, could expand the capacity of its Adria pipeline, which runs from the Adriatic Sea, to provide supplies of crude to Hungary. She added that it was helpful to offer extra time to Hungary so that the country could “really switch off” Russian oil.
The partial ban risks distorting competition in the EU oil market, with refineries connected to pipelines from Russia enjoying a price advantage. The price of Russian oil has fallen sharply as European traders have shunned the country’s seaborne crude.
Russian Urals crude is trading at about $93 a barrel, compared with $120 for Brent, the international oil benchmark. While Russian oil delivered via Druzhba may not carry such a big discount, depending on how contracts are structured, Hungarian oil group Mol has said it has enjoyed “skyrocketing” margins for its refineries since March because of the “widening Brent-Ural spread”.
The conclusions from the summit said member states would need to ensure the final sanctions package, which will be settled by EU ambassadors in the coming days, provided for a “well-functioning EU Single Market, fair competition, solidarity among Member States and a level playing field”.
The measures are expected to include a prohibition on the re-export of Russian crude arriving via pipeline. There will also be a ban on the resale of refined products from Russian crude as part of efforts to minimise market distortions. This will kick in after eight months, although the Czech Republic will receive a longer, 18-month grace period.
The west must hold its nerve on Ukraine The sanctions package also includes the ejection of Sberbank from the Swift global payments system as well as restrictions on more state-owned Russian broadcasters and asset freezes and travel bans on individuals. There will also be a ban on the provision of a range of services to Russian companies.
Brussels proposed the embargo on buying Russian oil in early May, underlining the EU’s difficulties in finding a way to increase its punishment on Moscow while not damaging parts of the European economy that depend on Russian energy.
The EU has already banned Russian coal but has exempted gas from sanctions. Gazprom, the Russian state-owned energy company, has nevertheless cut supplies to Poland, the Netherlands and Bulgaria for refusing to pay for gas in roubles.

Russian soldiers are ready to kill their generals who are forcing them to go on the offensive. In the Donetsk region, Russian volunteers-contractors nearly shot General Valery Solodchuk and his bodyguards, who had arrived to quell the mutiny and force the “refusniks” to continue fighting. It appears that the soldier might be belonging to an artillery unit as he mentioned guns.
The soldiers refused to obey the order. So the Russian general shamefully fled the front line. This is evidenced by a new telephone conversation between the invaders, which was intercepted by the SBU. The soldier complains to his woman that only a third of their brigade (over 600 people) remained, and the rest were killed or wounded. He also describes how one soldier refused to be blackmailed with death and suggested to blow them all up with a grenade:
(R)=Russian soldier (W)=Woman
(R):Last night the commander arrived.
(W): The company commander arrived?
(R):What company? The area… the f*cker came here. He was asked a question… by someone whos contract is ending… And he asked me – “How long until the end of your contract?”. I said – “20-something days”. He – “Well, you have twenty days to die here.
(W): Is he out of his f*cking mind?
(R):Yep. And then everyone started refusing going forward, going to the front. That’s bullshit now. Our BTG, of 600 people, we have 215 people remaining. Everyone else is either killed or wounded.
(W): F*cking motherf*cker. Is he f*cking nuts?
(R):Yeah… in our battery almost everyone refused, f*ck. He started waving with his gun, shooting, said – “I’ll kill you if you don’t go there!”. And then this kid says – “Come on, kill!”. F*ck, he pulled out the grenade, the pin, and said – “Come on, shoot me, come on! We’ll blow up together here”. That’s all. Even spetsnaz were pointing guns at us, and we pointed guns at them too. In short, we almost shot each other, f*ck. He got in his car and left.
(W): F*ck this! Go home now!
(R):I think so too, f*ck. After his words I don’t want to stay here at all! F*ck this! He said – “You have twenty days…”
(W): What’s his last name?
(R):Solodchuk. Col. General.
(W): Scumchuk?
(R):So-lod-chuk. Col. General.
(W): F*cking f***ot. Is he insane?
(R):Thing is, our brigade is just unable to capture anything anymore, since, for f*cks sake, there’s nothing left here! Everything is smashed up! There’s no personnel left, there’s f*ck all! F*ck, we only have one staff gun commander remaining. We have only two guns left out of twelve! Everything is smashed up to bits! And out of the 12 vehicles, only three that can still move!
