Unfortunately for you and your western master, propaganda won't make Ukraine escape the mass death they're facing...

I heard they're even begging Romania to stop filming their destruction from their border. cry

Ukraine a sacrificial lamb in a chess pieces between two nation afraid of facing each other...
I actually discovered that not a single Russian soldier has died in this needless war: the only casualties have been the Ukrainians.

If the war ends in the favour of Ukraine, don't you think that Russia would be made to pay for the damage they have done?

Why should any human being be a supporter of Injustice made to Ukraine by Russia?

NATO caused this war by knowingly declaring in Romania their plan to add Ukraine.



Russia dont want America base.nextdoor.


We have American Base in Niger, how safe are we if America can be calling for military action because military displace civilian in Niger.


Those military base are for regime change.


NATO cause the war but the big bully decided that Ukraine (not NATO) is the one to be fought.

Does this make sense to you?

We all have to accept the truth that Ukraine cannot win this war. All the game changer weapons they have been sending have amounted to nothing with the overhyped counter offensive. Now it's f-15 if after f-15 and Ukraine is still struggling may be the West will now come back to her senses.

I am sure you not planning to go to Russia anytime soon.

Visa? Was that the reason you are on here licking their gayshit? Was that your hustle? Look, small boy, I hold a more superior passport and I haven't left this country in 10 years. My house worth more than what 97% of Americans dead and alive can ever worth. I earn in some months what less than 3% Americans will earn in a year. Nigeria, is the best place to enjoy wealth. I will be surprised if you will know this, strange to you ? just wait until you are rich.

Lol. Not possible. The US can't export the F-22 to any other country. It is a law.

Mind you, the scrapping of the F-22 fleet will still take years for it to happen.

The F-22 is still very much around for the next 5 years, if not more than.

F 22 is a piece of garbage 🗑. Why do you think the program was scrapped for F 35 and when they realised the F 35 is another junk they started F 35II? Look, the only people benefiting from such wasteful adventures undertaken by Pentagon are the military industrial complex. I know this information is beyond you, so take it slowly.



ABC News
Pentagon 'Confident' Mystery F-22 Fighter Problem Solved
Air Force blames high-altitude vests for potentially deadly oxygen problems.

ByLEE FERRAN and LUIS MARTINEZ
July 24, 2012, 6:53 PM




July 24, 2012 — -- The military believes it has found the source of the potentially deadly oxygen problem that has plagued America's most expensive fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor, for years, Pentagon spokesperson George Little said today.

"I think we have very high confidence that we've identified the issues," Little told reporters, before announcing a long-term plan to lift strict flight restrictions imposed by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on the $79 billion fleet in May. "This is a very prudent way to ensure that we, in a very careful manner, resume normal flight operations."

The mystery problem with the F-22 Raptor was the subject of an ABC News "Nightline" investigation, which found that since 2008, F-22 pilots have experienced unexplained symptoms of oxygen deprivation -- including confusion, sluggishness and disorientation -- while at the controls of the $420 million-a-pop jets on more than two dozen occasions. In one instance, a pilot became so disoriented that his plane skimmed treetops before he was able to pull up and save himself. The Air Force subjected the F-22 to intense scrutiny for years, including a nearly five-month fleet-wide grounding last year, but was unable to solve the problem. When the grounding was lifted, the service awarded the plane's manufacturer, defense contracting giant Lockheed Martin, a nearly $25 million contract in part to help identify the problem, but still no answer was found.

The source of the issue, the Pentagon now says, is believed to be a faulty valve in the high-pressure vest that is worn by the pilots at extreme altitudes -- one that Air Force officials believe is constricting the pilots' ability to breathe.

"To correct the supply issue and reduce the incidence of hypoxia-like events, the Air Force has made two changes to the aircraft's cockpit life support system," Little said. "First, the Air Force will replace a valve in the upper pressure garment vest worn by pilots during high-altitude missions. The valve was causing the vest to inflate and remain inflated under conditions where it was not designed to do so, thereby causing breathing problems for some pilots... Second, the Air Force has increased the volume of air flowing to pilots by removing a filter that was installed to determine whether there were any contaminants present in the oxygen system. Oxygen contamination was ruled out."

The Air Force first ordered its pilots to stop wearing the vests last month, but Air Force spokesperson Lt. Col. Tadd Sholtis told ABC News at the time that while the vests were believed to have contributed to the problem, they were "not believed to be the root cause of the prior incidents."

When asked by a reporter if the new solution could also account for the at least five instances in which the Air Force said ground crews working on the F-22s experienced their own hypoxia-like symptoms, Little said he "did not have specifics" on those incidents.

Still, Gen. Charles Lyon, the head of the team investigating the F-22 problem, made his case in the Pentagon against the so-called G-suit and its valve over the past few days, an Air Force official told ABC News, and Little said that Friday Air Force Secretary Michael Donley and other top Air Force officials presented the Air Force analysis to Panetta.

"After receiving assurances that these corrective measures would minimize hypoxia-like events in the F-22, the secretary approved the Air Force planned sequence of actions to remove flight restrictions over time," Little said.

The process starts today, he said, with an order from the Air Force for a squadron of F-22s to be deployed to Kadena Air Base in Japan. The planes will fly there at altitudes that will not require pilots to wear the vests.

The Air Force is still in the process of installing an automatic emergency back-up oxygen system to the planes but that process is not expected to be completed until next spring.

Despite costing an estimated $79 billion, no jet in the entire F-22 fleet -- some 185 planes -- has ever seen combat. From Iraq to Afghanistan to the no-fly zone over Libya, the Air Force said the planes simply weren't necessary.

Some of you should stop being foolish. Ukriane is an independent, sovereign country. it can enter into any alliance with any country it deems fit. It can join any military organization it deems fit.

Some year ago, when Obasanjo was president, the US planned to set up a military base in Nigeria, but the then government declined their request. They went to Niger and set up their military base there. Why didn't Nigeria attack Niger that they don't want US military base near their border?


Foolish people!
Russia is not a slave like Nigeria.

Putin needs to be praying now that the F-35’s don’t later take to the skies. 🤣🤣🤣
Both are detectable by S400 and S500 systems. It'll just end up as target practice. As the former US Chief of Defence said, Russia has thousands of its equivalent. And except you're sending thousands, it's pointless.

Patriot was destroyed, bro... The main reason they don't hit Kyiv lately is to prolong the war. The idea is to inflict as much damage as possible before the war comes to an end. The target for sometime now is critical infrastructure. This, my friend, is the real game changer. By the tone this war is over Ukraine will be in pieces.

Not everybody fancy master-slave relationship like Africans.

Logic dictates that the one engaging in aggressive warfare is the one prolonging the war.
The war could literarily end in a day, if the aggressor just pack up and go home.

Unfortunately for Russia propaganda or blackmail cannot win this war.
If logic never deemed the aggressive war as proxy and required to forestall impeding danger just as the US would've reacted, then it's apparently not logic enough to be deemed logic.

There's no need for the war to end if the lesson hasn't been thought and understood. Interesting enough, Russia has merely deployed about 2-8 modern weapons since the start of the military action, with Ukraine facing a ruin.

West ran out of sanctions already?? If F-16 was that powerful and Russia that weak, let the US push it's crew to Ukraine's defence..

The Master - Slave dictate here is West inclined as always and, thankfully there's a Russia.

Some of you cowards behave and acts publicly without an atoms of shame.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and annexed Crimea, none of you ediots said word while others mocked international community for been docile.
Now Ukraine is defending her country thru the help of her allies. Everyday elements like u come on here to call Ukraine's president names.
You insults the US for supplying arms to Ukraine but keep mute on the arms been shipped to Russia from beralus, North Korea, and the Syrians, chechens fighting alongside Russia.
Which international law does the US break by sending arms to Ukraine to defend herself?
According to you and yours Ukraine shd be left without support so Russia will runs thru and occupied it for war to end?
