Where are the peace talks?? Foreign countries pouring billions of dollars into Ukraine with no accountability where the money is going, giving away weapons and amo putting themselves in vulnerable positions. From what I understand Canada will be training Ukrainian soldiers, Russia has China backing them, its almost like we're at war with Russia ourselves. How long until it is a full blown world war? I dont care what "side" anyone is on, peace should be the only option but it seems war makes more money and creates better headlines.

I’m not sure what to make of the Poland/Ukraine spat. Is it posturing or the thin edge of the wedge?

ANALYSIS: Abrams Tanks Have Arrived in Ukraine – Here’s What They Can Do

The decision to provide Abrams tanks to Ukraine represented a U-turn as American defence officials had repeatedly said they were ill-suited for Kyiv's forces due to their complexity.

Awww so sad...

 

 

Terribly sad...

 

MH17 was not even close to his most terrible, of many crimes.

In a recent newspaper article in the International Business Times on Strelkov’s days in Bosnia, this Russian paramilitary leader was linked to the 1992 massacre of some 3000 Bosnian Muslim civilians in and around the town of Višegrad as well as torture, rape, and murder of civilians in the spa-resort, Vilina Vlas.[1]

 

Strelkov was a member of the 2nd Russian Volunteer Detachment, led by Michail Trofymov, and fought alongside 2nd Podrinjska and 2nd Majevićka brigades of the Army of the so-called Republic of Srpska. Based in the municipality of Višegrad, this Russian detachment took part in some of the heaviest fighting for the control of this town and the neighboring UN Safe Areas of Žepa, and Goražde.[2]

 

Eyewitnesses and those who survived torture, rape and killings in and around Višegrad during the fall 1992 and winter 1993 confirm that the Russian volunteers also assisted the Višegrad-based killing squad known as the Avengers (Osvetnici). They were led by the convicted war criminal, Milan Lukić. The unit’s most prominent members were Sredoje Lukić, Mitar Vasiljević (both convicted of war crimes by the ICTY), Vidoje Andrić, Momir Savić, Željko Lelek,  Oliver Krsmanović, and Dragan Savić. They tortured, raped, and murdered Muslim men and women from the municipality of Višegrad. The available sources tell us that every tenth pre-1990 inhabitant of the municipality of Višegrad (almost exclusively of Islamic faith) is listed as either dead or missing.[3]   

 

Moreover, the testimony of a rape survivor, Mevluna Jašarević, mentioned Russian soldiers inside the room in the Vilina Vlas spa-resort where torture and rape, and the subsequent suicide of the famous local beauty, Jasmina Ahmetspahić, took place. The witness, a rape victim herself, described how a Russian soldier was holding beaten-up and bloodied Jasmina by the collar of her unbuttoned white shirt. Suddenly, according to this witness, Jasmina spread her arms wide and took off her shirt before jumping to her death (or salvation) through a glass window of a third floor hotel room.

Posting this because I don’t think we’ve heard of the “K” count in this Strike ..

 

An ambitious operation ,  with a positive (very) outcome .

 

To know that a top meeting was taking place at the time of this operation,

speaks volumes of everything involved that we know of ,  and some of the things we don’t.

Heres a pic of the tanks en route.

 

 


I think @Sharpshooter was bang on with his opinion of this arrival ..

 

The thing with the Abrams arriving at this time,  the Fall and Winter months will prove these Tanks to be exceptional good weather for their operations.

 

Jet / Turbine engines prefer the lack of dust, and dense/ cold air for optimal performance.

… and the frozen ground will have them moving like Cheetahs.
