Today’s Kharkiv is not dissimilar to London during the Second World War. Every day, the front line of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine seems to inch closer to Ukraine’s second-largest city. Now, there are over a dozen daily air alarms. Explosions are also near-daily in a city where more than 20,000 buildings have been destroyed since the start of Russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion.
Since December - around the time that news reports started surfacing that American military support was at an impasse due to political wrangling in the US Congress - Kharkiv has been hit by more missiles than at any other point in the war. Kyiv Post visited the city that became a front line in Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine.

Shame on Mike Johnson. Shame on Donald Trump. Shame on MAGA. Shame on the Republican party. Shame on America.

Not on all America.

@@Joe_Terra_Citizen All decent, non MAGA Americans feel ashamed of their country right now. I know many.

How sad all because of one madman hiding in his bunker who wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union.

@phillee2814 Месяц назад

Glory? What little of that they had was mostly stolen from subjugated neighbours, often via the Empire which they overthrew.

I was pondering a few says ago as t to why I not seen any barrage ballons bring used when a youtube vid featued a picture of a drone tangled in telephone wires, surely such a sytem of defences outside the towns and cities would offer some cheap protection. It worked in Britian during both world wars, should work now for Ukraine, cheap to make and can be operated by civilian volunteers. If you think this gould be a viable option please bring it to the attention of someone that needs to hear it.

That’s not as mad as some might think, in a lecture on his part as a helicopter pilot in the 1982 Falklands War, he stated that no one thought to remember that we had, still stored 40 years on, some WW2 barrage balloons that could if raised above the approaches to the main British landing at San Carlos Water, they could have severely impeded fast jets coming in low to bomb the ships. So if it could have worked on fast jets, certainly Shaheeds. A young US Navy pilot in the Korean War had his aircraft, a Panther jet, badly damaged by enemy anti aircraft cables strung across targets. He coaxed the aircraft to Allied lines before ejecting. His name was Neil Armstrong.

@@grahambuckerfield4640 Damn, that was one powerful ejector seat, for him to reach where he did!

@phillee2814 Месяц назад

I've been saying that for over a year now. With the very light and strong fibres available now, barrage balloons would support a lot of it, so curtains could be strung between and beneath balloons, made of ordinary commercial fishing nets. Even drones with FPV cameras would have a hard time avoiding them, as they are almost invisible from more than 20ft/6 metres away when hung in a single layer, but they would certainly entangle anything with a propeller - as they do at sea on ships' propellers not infrequently. If a few strands of Kevlar fibre were added to reinforce them, they may even stop far larger and heavier targets. Netting works well, as it deforms to wrap the incoming missile and spreads the loading among many individual fibres.

The crimes committed under communist regimes have been widely documented and acknowledged. These crimes include: 1. Mass killings: Communist regimes have been responsible for large-scale killings of their own people, often in the name of preserving the revolution or quashing dissent. Examples include the Great Purge under Stalin in the Soviet Union, the Killing Fields in Cambodia under Pol Pot, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre in China. 2. Forced labor and concentration camps: Communist regimes have often used forced labor and concentration camps to control their populations and punish dissenters. Examples include the gulags in the Soviet Union and the Laogai system in China. 3. Purges and persecution of intellectuals: Communist regimes have often targeted intellectuals and others who were perceived as a threat to the regime. This has led to the suppression of academic freedom and the condemnation of intellectualism. 4. Censorship and propaganda: Communist regimes have used censorship and propaganda as a means of controlling the flow of information and shaping public opinion. 5. Socialist planned economies: Socialist planned economies have led to shortages, famines, and economic collapse in many countries that have implemented them.

You are living in the past. The U.S. led NATO provoked Russia into this situation. The CIA has 12 biological labs in Ukraine near the Russian border. The U.S. gave guarantees the west would not move one inch East to end the cold war. This isn't propaganda. It's a fact.
