I wonder how accurate this is?

May be an image of map and text that says "A map featuring all documented battles over the past 4,500 years (as mentioned on Wikipedia)."

IMO it is very misleading and to some extent is Cherry picking data to make a point.

 

What were the population densities of the various areas over the past 4500 years? How large were the battles as it could be less than 100 combatants up to many millions.  as in the great world wars.  The scope, size, duration and casualties are not mentioned. Also not mentioned is the threshold of what is a major battle vs a minor skirmish

Fucktarded & moronic…

 

 

It appears that Putin’s army attempted to assassinate President Zelensky earlier today

Zelensky’s motorcade, which was 150 meters from that of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, was attacked by a ballistic missile in Odessa earlier today. Five people were killed. 

President Zelensky responded by saying that Russia had "either gone crazy or they don't control what their terrorist army is doing".

Good move 

 

 

 

 

I wonder what effect this will have on Russia aiding the breakaway area of Transnistria. Maybe Moldova denies air access and tells Russia to remove its troops before they block  all flights to and from Russia. It would certainly put a damper on Putin's plans to use it as a foothold for further exploits.

 

Also; good to see that Armenia is waking up to what Russia is all about and sending them packing.

Sometimes a bullet is the most cost effective way of dealing with this..

 

The Security Service of Ukraine has detained a Russian spy who was mobilized into the AFU and leaked information about the Ukrainian military on the front line to Russians.

The man was recruited by Russian security services while studying at a Moscow university. When the agent was exposed, he tried to escape to Transnistria by swimming, wearing flippers and a wetsuit.

The traitor faces a life sentence.
