Hitler made significant achievements too, I guess he's not all that bad or perhaps he could be considered a hero.
So where do you draw the line exactly ?
There's never a line.. Different people/Nations with thier different definitions of who and what a Hero is..

No country should be tag Nazi due to what certain individuals did in the past or what some are currently doing...
Imagine being a Ukrainian Jew and a "fellow" is tagging the entire Nation nazis..forgetting that Hitler killed over a million Ukrainian Jews in present day Ukraine..

All I have tried to establish is that Nazism and its ideologies now repackaged as far rights oraginszation are not just peculiar to Ukraine but also in other European countries, Russia and the US inclusive..

P.S For those who care to read, the link to The Holocaust in Ukraine.

⚡Elements of the Turkish Armed Forces reportedly arrived today at the T-4 Air Base and Palmyra Military Airfield in the Homs Governorate of central Syria, which both were targeted recently by the Israeli Air Force.

According to senior Turkish defense officials, S-400 and Hisar-O+ surface-to-air missile batteries will be deployed to the bases alongside long-range strike drones, as Turkey plans to increase strikes against ISIS and to deter further strikes against Syria by Israel.

🇺🇸🇱🇹‼️The story about the death of American soldiers in Lithuania took an unexpected turn‼️

April 1, 2025

The tragedy that took place at the end of March in Lithuania is getting more and more mysterious, and the details that are slowly emerging open a series of questions for the American army, NATO structures, as well as for local authorities. 👇
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by ariesbull: 8:31am On Apr 02, 2025
It is an incident in which the American armored rescue vehicle M88A2 Hercules sank in a swamp during a military exercise, and the bodies of three soldiers were not found until six days later. The search for the fourth crew member is still ongoing, but suspicions are piling up.

According to an official statement from the US military, the soldiers went missing early in the morning on March 25 while participating in an operation to tow an immobilized tactical vehicle. The Hercules vehicle, weighing more than 60 tons, sank in a swamp near the Lithuanian test site. The situation became even more complicated when the rescue teams, after several days of painstaking recovery operations, found three bodies in the vehicle, but not the expected fourth. 👇

I don't like it either but sometimes to make money you have to lose money and take insane risks.

Else you'll remain average for life. And i don't want to be average.

Even business have their own risks. Can you count the number of businesses in your vicinity that was once thriving but no longer?

How Ethiopia crushed roman European empire and put fear in England and France



The sun was barely peeking over the Ethiopian Highlands when Ethiopian king Menelic the Second received word.
The Italians were coming, not as friends as they had once claimed, but as conquerors.

He had read the treaty they had offered. In Amharic, it spoke of friendship, but in Italian, it declared Ethiopia a colony of Rome - a trick, a deception. King Menelic's eyes darkened, and he declared, "We shall meet at Adwa."

Far away in Italy, generals boasted of an easy victory. Ethiopia, they thought, was just another African kingdom waiting to be crushed under European might.
They envisioned a quick conquest, promising Rome an African empire by Christmas.

They sent twenty thousand well-armed troops, confident in their modern artillery and battle-hardened soldiers. Yet, they underestimated the spirit of a nation that had never been conquered.

Across Ethiopia, warriors gathered. Few of the lords who had once fought each other put aside their rivalries. From every village, men and women answered King Menelic's call. Farmers unearthed rifles hidden for generations. Priests raised silver crosses that had blessed warriors for centuries.
Even women joined the march, carrying water, camping equipment, and, if necessary, fighting alongside the men.

The Italians laughed, their generals sneered, "Africans can't fight Europeans."

But. On March 1, 1896, dawned.
A thick mountain fog rolled over the battlefield. Italian soldiers stumbled forward, confused, their ranks disorganized.
Then, like ghosts emerging from the mist, the Ethiopian army descended upon them.
Cavalry thundered down the slopes, slashing through Italian lines and slashing their throat . Women warriors moved unseen, cutting the enemy's telegraph wires, severing their communication.

By the time the sun reached its peak, the battle was over. The once-mighty Italian army lay in ruins. Eleven thousand soldiers were dead, six thousand more were prisoners. Their cannons, their weapons, their pride - left behind on the battlefield and captured by Ethiopia.

News of the Ethiopian victory spread like wildfire. European newspapers screamed in disbelief. A black nation had defeated a European empire. For the first time in colonial history, a white army had surrendered.
Italy, humiliated, and was forced to sign the Treaty of Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia remained free. Across Africa and beyond, the victory at Adwa became a symbol of resistance. It proved that colonial rule was not inevitable, that freedom was not given.
- it was taken.

To this day, at the top of the hills of Adwa, the Ethiopian flag still waves, a reminder of the day an empire was humbled, and a nation stood unshaken.


This is how you treat UK USA evil nato and you will remain free forever nato will never go near Vietnam and Afghanistan again why because of the pain and scare those places gave them.

God bless putin God bless mother Russia.

In the meantime, unusual information arrives from Belarus - the border service there arrested a 27-year-old American citizen who tried to sneak into the territory of Belarus from Lithuania as a stowaway.

What attracted the attention of war correspondent Yevgeniy Lisitsyn was the coincidence of time and circumstances. A young American was caught in an empty freight car on the Kena-Molodečno line, not long after the Hercules sank, and the body of the fourth crew member was not found. 👇

Nerius Zableckis, president of the Lithuanian Fund for the Protection of Wetlands, emphasizes that the area is known for the so-called "cranberry bogs", which are deceptive in appearance.

They may look like ordinary meadows from the outside, but under them there is a water mass that easily sucks even the heaviest machines.

Although it is obvious that the American soldiers were not warned about the specifics of the terrain, the question arises - how was such information missing from military maps and preparations for the exercise? 👇
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by ariesbull: 8:42am On Apr 02, 2025
The evacuation was reportedly extremely demanding. Rescuers had to fill earth, build a makeshift bridge, and use additional engineering tools to even reach the crash site. All of this further complicates the question of the US Army's logistical readiness for operations in Eastern European conditions, which are obviously different from those they are used to.

The army itself has not yet announced the identities of the victims, nor has it confirmed the identity of the fourth crew member. 👇

⚡Ukrainian source on Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes:

"In the Pokrovsky direction, there remains high activity of enemy tactical aviation, for example, in a day in the area of ​​responsibility of only one brigade, about 10 KABs are recorded.

There is, of course, a certain error in the fact that not everything that falls from the sky is a CAB, because often guys confuse them with shells from MLRS or large-caliber guns, which simply destroy positions from a direct hit, but still, the activity of enemy aircraft continues to be high, hundreds of aircraft sorties are recorded per month."
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by ariesbull: 8:43am On Apr 02, 2025
Also, it is still not known from which crew - the first or the second - the dead came from, because the second Hercules vehicle, sent as support, also sank. Whether it was a series of tactical mistakes, bad judgment of the pitch or something bigger remains to be seen. 👇

⚡U.S. Pushes Back on EU’s ‘Buy European’ Defense Plan.

The U.S. has formally objected to the EU’s new defense initiative, ReArm Europe, which proposes €150 billion in loans for joint European defense projects.

Washington is concerned the plan sidelines U.S. defense firms, potentially harming transatlantic ties.

“They are upset about ReArm and that the U.S. is excluded,” said a senior European official.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned EU leaders on March 25 that:

“Any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington.”

A State Department spokesperson echoed the concern:

“Trump welcomes stronger European defense—but not at the cost of new barriers against U.S. companies.”

“Transatlantic defense industrial cooperation makes the Alliance stronger,” the official added.

The word 'Nazi' has actually been overused and as a result lost it meaning.

Current day far right movements or political parties have very little or nothing in common with Nazism. Saying it has been repackaged is very misleading

"
Nazism, led by Hitler, specifically incorporated a strong racial ideology, including antisemitism and the belief in Aryan racial superiority, which distinguished it from Italian Fascism, led by Mussolini, that focused more on national unity and expansion
"

Current far right movements or political parties have fascist elements and no relation whatsoever with Nazism.

"
Nazism was uniquely characterized by its explicit racial ideology, which included the belief in the superiority of the Aryan race and the persecution and eventual genocide of Jews and other groups deemed "inferior"

"

Nationalist or far right movements in the current day have no such elements except strict immigration policy which is very understandable.

Take England for example, I believe the right wing party is the Conservatives party headed by Mrs Kemi Badenoch. The party have nothing in common with Nazism even though it's a far right movements.

Might I add that the leader of the party is a black woman with decents from our very own Nigeria.

I can add more examples if you want.

In conclusion, your statement is very flawed and misleading.

⚡Russia says it cannot accept US proposals to end the war in Ukraine in their current form because they do not address the problems that caused the conflict.

Signaling that ceasefire talks are stalled, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia and the United States have so far failed to bridge the differences that Vladimir Putin outlined more than two weeks ago, when he said the US proposals should be revised.
