The fact, my Fido friend, is that the
Russian campaign is getting nowhere because
of the western support ... Ukraine is
slamming the Russian army with western
weaponry.

For some reason, the advantage is only on Russia's side, with the numerical superiority of Ukraine carrying the "latest" Western weapons.

As they say in the US ... suck it up,
buttercup. The only thing Russia now badly
needs is a gracious way out and an
explanation to the mothers why their sons
had to die ...

You're going to overstep. Nazism will be disposed of completely this time. Along with Western armaments.

I'm betting you are too young to remember
the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos
Aires ... a force to contend with once it
will become obvious how many of Russia's
finest had to die because of a single
idiot...

That's not where you're looking for the analogy. You have to look in the mirror, in the mirror.

Hello Ward,

Most funny that both sides are going to set up courts for war criminals
;-)

There's only one such by the UN sanctioned court to do this ... it's not in
Russia, it's not in Ukraine ...

Russia has its own courts.

The fact, my Fido friend, is that the Russian campaign is getting nowhere because of the western support ... Ukraine is slamming the Russian army with western weaponry.

Never underestimate the mind of a madman.

As they say in the US ... suck it up, buttercup. The only thing Russia now badly needs is a gracious way out and an explanation to the mothers why their sons had to die ...

You fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. So did just about everybody
else, so don't feel bad.

This is an old ruse, known by chessplayers, for ages. In order to
steal a pot at tournaments, some players play preliminary matches as sandbaggers, deliberately losing games to lesser opponents so as to
get a lower rating. Then, when it comes to playing games that really
count, they start playing for real, winning game after game after
game, winning the entire jackpot in whatever class they are playing.

This is exactly what Vladimir Putin has been doing to date. His
intention was never to conquer all of Ukraine. That was all a ruse.
To understand this, all you have to do is look at a map. His forces
already control almost all the area he wants. His real targets were
the energy riches of Ukraine's east (second to Norway's). You know,
all those natural gas reserves, along with Crimea's offshore energy
fields. Stuff like that. And let's not forget about controlling
Ukraine's coastline, making Ukraine basically a landlocked country.

Yes, you have really been fooled. Big time.

Is Putin crazy, as some as said or suggested? Did he miscalculate,
making mistake after mistake after mistake? It may be all he wanted
to do was capture energy reserves and cause some internal changes
in Ukraine's government.

Remember, Zelensky was offered many other places to stay outside
of Ukraine. Had he accepted any of those offers, there would have
been no need for any bombing and all would have been fine.

But hey. Let's get to the bombing. Especially the targeting of
civilians. You do realize there is reason to such madness.

Over four million of Zelensky's most ardent supporters have fled
to other lands, most of them to Poland, as a result. How many will
likely return any time soon. What that means is that millions of
Ukrainians who disliked Russia have left for the West. And this
denies Zelensky his strongest base of supporters.

Yes, Trump was right in calling Putin a "genius". You and others
just don't want to admit it.

The West is playing into Putin's hands once again. Seems like it
never learns. And maybe it never will.

This is all reminiscent of Russia's siege of Grozny, in the first
Chechen war in the mid-1990s. Chechen fighters wiped out a Russian
armored brigade, which totally stunned Moscow. What did Putin do?
The Russians regrouped and wiped out Grozny with artillery and air
power. This action also solidied Putin's grip on power, making him
de facto dictator rather than president.

So. What will Putin do next in his war on Ukraine?

"There is a whole nex stage to the Putin playbook. As Russian
troops gained cotrol on the ground in Chechnya, they crushed any
further dissent with arrests and filtration camps and by turning
and empowering local proteg�s and collaborators." ~ Carlotta Gall

Let's review -

From the beginning, Putin *never* intended to conquer all of Ukraine.
His real targets were the energy riches of Ukraine's east (Europe's second-largest known reserves of natural gas - after Norway's).
Combined with Russia's previous territorial seizures of Crimea,
which contains part of a huge shale-gas field, and its control of
almost all of Ukraine's coastline, Putin's ambitions are clear.

Vladimir Putin is no more interested in re-uniting the Russian-speaking
world than he is in flying to the moon. His only real interest is in
securing Russia's energy dominance.

What a heist.

And you fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

I'm betting you are too young to remember the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires ... a force to contend with once it will become obvious how
many of Russia's finest had to die because of a single idiot...

Hello Alexander,

Ukraine troops were afraid that people will greet Russian troops.

Do you grow your own pot? Good stuff...

BTW - is in your country it is allowed? :)

Of course it is. Two public universities grow it for us. Not a bad
deal, not having to do it ourselves or use our own land. But we do
have to pay for it, through dispensaries which get it from the
universities. Of course, not all states have such a program. Or
even a program at all ...

Listen, there are foreign network correspondents and camerateams
all over Ukraine. On the Ukrainian side they are free to move
around, to photograph, to videograph, to write, to telephone...

The crews which are reporting from the Russian side and the Dombas
are restricted in every possible way...

The western journalists also under control at the Ukrainian side. It is
an illusion that they can freely move and get information wherever they like.

Nobody has any illusions. With bullets and bombs going about, it is
very difficult to get around for anybody. Those who think it is a
cakewalk are deluded, and usually never make it to where they think
they are going.

Russian troops were not welcomed as liberators... there are now in
my small country already some 20.000 Ukrainian refugees, we are
still looking for the firstone stating he/she fled the liberation
of his/her country...

Well, then ask them -- would they be been happy if their towns would
have been given up to the Russian troops without fighting? ;-) Ask them
do they believe that if Russian troops would enter the towns they would kill its citizens?

Well, now that they know there is no need for asking.

Get real... but of course, you won't... your mind poisened for
years by a kind of propaganda the world hasn't seen before... or
maybe you are just part of the system...

I am as I am.

Propaganda has limitations. Makes no difference what side. Sooner
or later word gets out, and people know. However, there are exceptions.
For example, even after the end of WWII Germans asked "Why did you bomb
our schools, our hospitals, our places of worship? What did we do to
deserve this?" Most Germans had no idea Jewish people were rounded up
and slaughtered at death camps, believing they had moved to their
ancestral homeland of Palestine on their own.

To the German people of that time, Adolf Hitler was a kindly
soft-spoken man who would do no harm to anyone, and would always
defend Germany and its people. A savior for them all.

Of course times have changed. There are no more Hitlers. But for
whatever reason, mankind has a penchant for finding and worshipping
such people. And they will arise.

Hello Alexander,

IMHO, it is a historical issue. "Ukraine" was derived from
the Russian word Okraina (a border region/area). One time
it was really a border region of Russia. You probably can
say that you live in the New York

But at that time "Russia" was something with capital in Kyiv:)

In different times Russia had different capitals. Ukrainians also had
the capital in Warszawa for many centuries. ;)

Kyiv was there first. For both Ukrainians and Russians. And maybe
that is the key to a peace deal. The reunification of Ukraine/Russia
as one. With Kyiv as its capital. Just like the days of old. :)

Of course. If nobody wants to kill you (if you don't shoot at him),
deprive your freedom, sovereignty, occupy your country, annex it to

if you start killing such an invader you open rivers of blood and

Russia has assaulted the men, women and children of Ukraine and destroyed much in the country saying they were liberating Ukraine from nazis. Of course there is no truth in that, it is all just propaganda.

At least one lesson should be learnt: the policy towards the nations and languages in a country should be wise and careful. Even in case if you have at your disposal gangs marching along the streets with flaming torches.

Europe is kind of a strange place. Almost all countries are divided
by language. Far different than places such as India, China, and other
areas. When the USA began, Benjamin Franklin wanted the USA to have
a national language. His suggestion was German. The resolution failed
by one vote. Since then, no effort has been made to have a national
language.

With no national or official language, people have freedom to say
anything they want. Even if it makes no sense.

Which might explain why we saw "gangs marching along the streets
with flaming torches" in Charlottesville, West Virginia while shouting
Nazi slogans (in German) when Donald Trump was president.

AI> Or some other nonsense about cutting water off from the people
AI> but that's not how it is and it is just more propaganda.

It depends how you use the Russia's propaganda. If you want to believe
that no damage was done by cutting the fresh water channel you should
cite the Russia's propaganda telling that Crimea becomes even better
without Ukrainian water. Check it out in Wikipedia: :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Crimean_Canal
-----Beginning of the citation-----
According to official Russian statistics, the Crimean agricultural
industry fully overcame the consequences of blocking the North Crimean
Canal and crop yields grew by a factor of 1.5 from 2013 by 2016.[7] The reported rapid growth in agricultural production in the Crimea is due to
the fact that, with the help of subsidies of the order of 2-3 billion
rubles a year from the budget of the Russian Federation, agricultural producers of Crimea were able to increase the fleet of agricultural machinery.[8][9][10]

These official statistics contrast with reports of a massive shrinkage
in the area under cultivation in Crimea, from 130,000 hectares in 2013
to just 14,000 in 2017,[11] and an empty canal and a nearly dry
reservoir resulting in widespread water shortages,[12][13][3] with water
only being available for three to five hours a day in 2021.[13] That

Russia would not allow Ukraine to solve Donbass problem using military
force. And for any adequate ruler it was clear that the Minsk agreements should be implemented and concessions be made.

Russia was always using internal disputes in our former republics together with demagogic rhetoric to increase it's influence.
Remember how GRU sent Chechen fighters to Abkhazia because Russia was trying to get Georgia under it's control?
DNR/LNR was just an operation to destabilize Ukraine.

Russia was never going to follow Minsk agreements, eveyone knew that.

But Zlensky is under a full control of the ultra-nationalists, and
they didn't allow him to do any concessions and peace with Donbass.

It's a fake news, ultra-nationalist parties lost last elections, they were already marginal.
But now, during the war, thanks to Russia help - they became a real force because they are ready to die while fighting Russian forces.
They became a heroes, because they didn't surrender even to elite Chechen forces.
Mariupol became their Stalingrad.
Puting created new strong ideology for new Ukranian state, ideology of resistance to new "Russian empire" where Ukranina slavic people are being killed my Chechens, Buryats and Dagestanis. This is what ultra-nationalists were waiting for and what they finally got.

The Ukraine authority did not invade any nation. Russia did.

8 years it was perfectly clear that Russia would not allow Ukraine to solve Donbass problem using military
force.

So you think a Russian invasion of Ukraine solves anything?

It does not. It has now mired Russia in an ugly mess that I don't know how it will get itself out of.

And for any adequate ruler it was clear that the Minsk agreements
should be implemented and concessions be made.

Russia has no interest in Minsk agreements.

But Zlensky is under a full control of the ultra-nationalists, and they didn't allow him to do any concessions and peace with Donbass.

That is a false narrative. Zelensky is not an ultra-nationalist.

It is a usual thing
when some radical idiots create havoc in a multinational country -- separatism is inevitable. Russia had a very modest role in this conflict.

I call that hogwash. We (Belgium) have our radicals too, there have been historical language and economic differences and the international press will jump on it come election time, but no people get killed, some name calling ... a bit like a football game.

Then last summer when torrential rains devastated one region killing hundreds and leaving tens of thousands homeless, the other language community was the first to respond in such a way that relief organisations asked not to send anything anymore because they couldn't handle the volume of aid (clothing, food...). For months construction workers on their week-ends off went to work there for free to help rebuild ... so where are the Russians helping to rebuild Ukraine? Where are the relief funds? The food? Clothing? The only thing Russia has sent is violence, death, destruction, rape, thieving, wiping out entire cities...

A small post-office just across the border in Belarus was used to send 2-3 tonnes of looted objects (computers, TVs, household appliances, clothing, ...) a day to somewhere Russia ... stolen by Russian soldiers ... And Belarus is not distrubiting Zelenski-propaganda ... just locals complaining they could not get inside their post-office anymore.

First of all Ukraine refused to do amnesty for the rebels, make an
autonomy for the Donbass region. Russia was Donbass people defender but
it incorrect to say that Russian troops for 8 years have defended
Donbass. Russian troops entered Donbass this spring.

On July 17 2014 it was a Russian weapons system operated by a Russian military crew that shot down Malaysia Airlines flight 17. Please do not insult people here by denying, it's an established fact, even the names of the Russian individuals are known. Russian communication systems were (and probably still are) so primative they could be picked-up and recorded ...

There were already Russian troops in that area and they were taking part in hostilities ...

Ukrainian nationalist have no pity for Mariupol just because there are
too many pro Russian people have always lived there. The "defence" of Mariupol in reality is a revenge to its citizens.

Oh dear ... there's definitely a mall connect in your brain if you truly believe that. Do you make a living distributing this nonsense?

Ukrainian ultra-natinalists are not better. Putin at least doesn't
glorify Nazi WW2 collaborators. Do you know what is the difference

countries for place for our race, other nations should be either
eliminated or serve Germany, Jews should be used for making soap. But
all Putin's rhetoric is perfectly good, just as taken from the

neonazism, defending justice, Russians who are humiliated; the current operation is a noble, heroic matter. Tell me at least one bad Putin's
slogan which can mark him as a fascist.

Of course any place in the world is better than a city "defended" by

Ukrainian ultra-natinalists are not better.

There are no nazis or ultra-nationalists as you say in Ukraine. Only people defending themselves from Russia's attacks.

Putin at least doesn't glorify Nazi WW2 collaborators. Do you know
what is the difference between Hitler and Putin?

There isn't much difference. Russia is the nazi regime of today.

The first said it openly -- we conquer countries for place for our
race, other nations should be either eliminated or serve Germany,
Jews should be used for making soap. But all Putin's rhetoric is
perfectly good, just as taken from the chivalrous novels. No
occupation, but liberation, fighting with neonazism, defending
justice,

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unjust. There is no way to get justice from injustice.

Russians who are humiliated; the current operation is a noble, heroic
matter.

There is nothing noble or heroic about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There may be parades in Russia but there will be no heroes in Russia.

Russia has already lost.

Tell me at least one bad Putin's slogan which can mark him as a
fascist.

All of the propaganda coming out of the kremlin and Russia generally. It is a fascist trait.

And I am sure its citizens did not ask defend them by setting up machine
guns in their flat windows.

Why do the civilians in Mariupol need to be defended? Because Russia invaded Ukraine?

It is absolutely clear that Nazi Germany could be defeated only by the
Soviet people who were ready to give their lives for a fairy tale of a
bright future. If there had not been the USSR and Stalin all the world
would now spoke German in better case. Those people were idealistic and
that's why we should treat the dead Red Army soldiers like angels. Even

In this sense he doesn't lie.

ak>> And I am sure its citizens did not ask defend them by setting up

DP> So it was Russian army that destroyed city, ok.

The only reason why nationalists started to defend Mariupol so franticly
is a simple fact - they knew that Mariupol citizens would greet Russian
troops if they would allow enter the city freely. It is difficult to say
what is the bigger crime -- to storm the city or to defend it using
citizens as a shield.

DP>>> At this moment thousands of Ukranians are leaving Russia via
DP>>> Russia /EU border, the don't want to stay here. This is how
DP>>> we "saved" them.
ak>> Of course any place in the world is better than a city "defended"

No wonder -- in Europe they are going to have a lot of money and help. A
half a million Ukrainian refuges in Russia certainly will not get so much.

DP> Ad even Russians are escaping from Russia in big numbers. Thats the

Yes, it will be a hard time. If one has a possibility to move out of
here why not. Although, as I heard, these people are now under brutal nationalistic attacks in Europe and America just because they are from
Russia.

Bzzt. Russia is on a nationalistic tac now.

Oh? What have I missed?

There is nothing noble or heroic about Russia's invasion of

Russia has already lost.

What do you mean by it?

I mean just what I said. There is no justice or anything noble about the invasion. There never was and never will be. When the war is over there will be no heroes heading back to Russia.

When I say that Russia has already lost I mean simply that. In 60 or so days of war they have not accomplished any of their objectives.

They have accomplished death and destruction (of civilians and civil infrastructure) on a major scale. Was that the objective?

All of the propaganda coming out of the kremlin and Russia
generally. It is a fascist trait.

It's not a place for freedom I agree. But I repeat that a strong
propaganda is always based on the true facts and notions.

The propaganda that comes from the kremlin today is all lies, it's baseless.

Only in this case it has success. I see in Russia cars wearing "Z".

I have seen that too. It's shameful.

I see children with "Z" cut in their haircuts.

What a mindless attitude. Do you think children know waht "Z" means?

Why do the civilians in Mariupol need to be defended? Because
Russia invaded Ukraine?

I doubt that they needed to be defended at all.

The young lady we talked about previously would disagree, if she could.

You DON't miss only fucking news. Take for instance such "news" from BBC

You are funny. Take for instance NATO involvement in this war. The EU considers it is just to help Ukraine with weapon and it sends

The russian federation invaded Ukraine not to prevent shelling. It meant to shell Donbass as well as the rest of Ukraine with impunity. That's why they amassed ~200,000 troops on the Ukrainian borders and then invaded.

Hey Alexander,

The sun is shining, I've had my morning coffee, no-ons's killing eachother here and I just received another message from you .... life is good.

If to tell the truth -- the only reason for Americans to open in 1944
the second front against Germany was the fear that the USSR would
capture the whole Europe by itself and install Communism there. It was a real fear. And after the USSR had done all dirty and bloody job it was easy.

It is important for people to understand the role and importance of Russia's part in the final victory in the European theatre of WW2. My American brethren often think that D-Day and its aftermath did it for the downfall of the Nazi-regime and that simply is not true. Russia has suffered a lot, more than any of the other Allied countries. and also contributed a lot. On June 6th 1944 Nazi-Germany was already on the retreat after Stalingrad...

But claiming Russia won that part of the war by itself and would only have stopped at the Atlantic coast is stretching it a bit too far. You are completely discounting the incredible aid Russia received from North America to sustain its war effort and keep the population fed ... without western aid in food and weaponry it would not have happened... Do not re-write history...

A terrible Mongolian khan came to kill Russians in Ukraine. Do you laugh yourself at your words?

A terrible Mongolian Khan would do the killing himself and not sit at a desk in Moskou, just pressing buttons, obviously having blood-pressure issues and going home to a warm house in the evening.

What should they say about Russians in Donetsk, for instance?

They are Ukrainians ... not Russians. If there are Russians in Donetsk then either they are visitors or occupiers or war mongers ... I put my money on the last category.

Anyone who understands history understands the sacrifice that Soviet Russia broke the Wehrmacht's back, and the impact that losing a generation of patriots did to shape the years to come.

I would again suggest to you to refresh your memory and find the people
who triggered the events in 2014. There is an awesome thought -- Ukraine
could now be peaceful and prosperous if some nationalistic cranks had
not come to Kiev's Maidan in 2014.

Amazing ... the rocket fragments bear Russian markings, shell casisngs are Russian ... Ukrainian forces are not shelling Ukrainians, we know, there are litterally hundreds of news crews swarming all over Ukraine on the Ukrainian side ... nothing from the Russian side. Of course, "it is not a war" and true reporting is punishable by prison.

BTW, congratulations on the new submarine ... great diving object in the Black Sea.

90+% of the crew perished? Correct? Captain dead? Admiral fired?

Rest assured, Russia is losing this war and eventually "will" use nuclear weapons ... that's the only option to win ...

It appeared totally correct that Ukrainian troops really planned to
capture Donetsk this spring.

Are you a fantasy writer? Donetsk is in Ukraine. Ukrainian troops defend there people and teritory from Russia who has been attacking them for many years now.

That's why Ukrainian army group near
Donetsk now is so big (more than 40 thousand).

Those troops have been defending the area for many years now and defending Ukraine as a whole since Russia attacked the entire counrty some 50 days ago. Does that surprise you?

BTW, because of that
Russian troops still cannot remove them from Donetsk and every day
Donetsk civil quarters are under shelling with missiles and shells,
although Russian troops have no positions in the city itself.

Russian troops should not be removing anyone from Ukraine. They should call a cease-fire and exit Ukraine.

The things are not so simple as you think.

This one is simple. There is nothing in Ukraine for Russia.

NATO is not involved in this war. Not yet anyway.

;-) You forgot to count tonnes of weapon, reconnaissance data and so
called volunteers who went to Ukraine by packs. The same things Russian
did for Donbass.

Well, whatever is happening like that is not NATO. Is is support from other countries or individuals. That is not NATO.

The EU has sent no mercenaries.

Those volunteers fight for free? Do you believe it?

Yes, there are many who fight for Ukraine for free. Money is not the motivation for everything.

Alexander,

Nationals from my country who go fight in another army, paid or unpaid doesn't matter, will face the law and serious punishment upon their return. This happened to several men (and women) who went to fight in the middle east like Syria or Iraq.

But the ones that went to Ukraine, went for free...

The artillery munition is mostly the same on both sides. But the Ukraine missiles are specific for Ukraine only, and it has been proved that the missile strikes of Donetsk and Kramotorsk's cross station were done by Ukraininian tactical missles Tochka-U. Infamous Bucha (when the Russian
troops were there) was shelled with multiple launch rocket system, so no wonder that some its citizens were killed.

They understand fine. They are being killed now because Russia amassed it's army on their border and then invaded and began a campaign of miltary activity within Ukraine's borders. Russia's army has raped women in Ukraine, targeted civilians and destroyed cities on a massive scale.

That's why Donetsk is under shelling even now.

It is clear why Donetsk is being shelled now, and in the past. Ever hear of Transnistria?

First of all, it is a crazy for Ukraine to fight such a superior war
machine as Russia.

Ukraine did not have a choice since it was invaded and attacked by Russia.

Especially when the clown chess player in Kiev knows

It is clear that Russia does not care about human life. Even the lives of it's own people.

There is absolutely no reason at all for the Ukraine army to die.

There is no legitimate reason for Russia to invade a samller and weaker (militarily) country, but they did and have killed and destroyed in a large way. This is why the Ukraine army and civilians die in Ukraine.

Everything could and can be solved by negotiations and mutual
concessions. For instance, Donbass should get autonomy.

Ukraine is a sovereign nation and does not need to negotiate that with Russia. There is not (large enough) support for autonomy in the Donbass region. If the people of the Donbass region want autonomy they can negotiate for that with Ukraine. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not about the Donbass. Russia does not care what the people there want. It only cares about it's own selfish desires.

Hey Alexander,

You are naive. If Russian troops present in some city this city is under Ukrainian shelling. It is not seen on the Ukrainian side of reporting, naturally.

Let me repeat: There is no Ukrainian side of reporting as there are literally dozens of news crews around. It's BBC, CNN, VRT, NOS, TF1, you name it ... dozens of TV-stations with their own crews... No Ukrainian fixers to take 'm around either.

And when Russian troops leave the city it is no wonder that there are
many corpses in the streets.

Those corpses were already on satellite imagery 3 weeks before Russian troops pulled out. And post mortem did not show blast damage, but bullet wounds, with Russian caliber bullets still inside ... Russian sniper activity has been documented.

BTW, congratulations on the new submarine... great diving object in ak>WD> the Black Sea.
90+% of the crew perished? Correct? Captain dead? Admiral fired?

It is too early for wet fantasies. The captain and the crew were shown
on Russian TV.

Actually ... "no" ... some people in naval military unitform were shown, they could not be identified. No captain spoke ... and the very few survivors are not allowed to go home because news of that defeat needs to be squelched. There's only proof of some 45 survivers picked up by a Turkish freighter, at least 200 heavily burned and dismembered crew members remained behind.

You just keep on denying, you're doing a pretty good job at that.

Rest assured, Russia is losing this war and eventually "will" use
nuclear weapons... that's the only option to win...

This miserable fantasy come from a tired Kiev clown. There are
absolutely no ground for using nuked in Ukraine.

I concur, there are no grounds just as there was no ground for that invasion. Yet it happened.

Our TV-crews have documented hundreds of destroyed Russian tanks, armoured vehicles, abandoned equipment ... Russia is losing this war, and that defeat is the ground for using nukes, be it smaller tactical nukes, but nukes anyway. Russia's army is not a fierce fighting machine.

The result when the fighting will have died down is that Russia has returned to paria-status as it was during the times of Brezhnev etc ... you guys were doing so well on the international level after the collapse of communism. And now suddenly you're stuck with the opposite: the largest form of Fascism ever and you don't recognize it, not even if it's staring you in the face...

Russian caliber bullets! Don't tell nonsense. Both sides use the same

Hello, alexander!

Saturday April 16 2022 17:10, you wrote to me:

They opened it because they promised to open it. Like they did
in WWI.

Yeah, they promised to open it. In 1942. But they preferred to wait a little. ;)

The opened it when they were ready. It's a stupid thing to start a war when you are not ready.

Soviet heavy industry was created by american companies, btw. So
USSR wasn't an outcast.

You can give examples how the US helped to build the USSR industry?

-----
Engineers were invited from abroad, many well-known companies, such as Siemens-Schuckertwerke AG and General Electric, were involved in the work and carried out deliveries of modern equipment, a significant part of the equipment models produced in those years at Soviet factories, were copies or modifications of foreign analogues (for example, a Fordson tractor assembled at the Stalingrad Tractor Plant).

In February 1930, between Amtorg and Albert Kahn, Inc., a firm of American architect Albert Kahn, an agreement was signed, according to which Kahn's firm became the chief consultant of the Soviet government on industrial construction and received a package of orders for the construction of industrial enterprises worth $2 billion (about $250 billion in prices of our time). This company has provided construction of more than 500 industrial facilities in the Soviet Union.[23][24][25]

A branch of Albert Kahn, Inc. was opened in Moscow under the name "Gosproektstroy". Its leader was Moritz Kahn, brother of the head of the company. It employed 25 leading American engineers and about 2,500 Soviet employees. At that time it was the largest architectural bureau in the world. During the three years of the existence of Gosproektroy, more than 4,000 Soviet architects, engineers and technicians who have studied the American experience passed through it. The Moscow Office of Heavy Machinery, a branch of the German company Demag, also worked in Moscow.

The firm of Albert Kahn played the role of coordinator between the Soviet customer and hundreds of Western companies that supplied equipment and advised the construction of individual objects. Thus, the technological project of the Nizhny Novgorod Automobile Plant was completed by Ford, the construction project by the American company Austin Motor Company. Construction of the 1st State Bearing Plant in Moscow, which was designed by Kahn, was carried out with the technical assistance of the Italian company RIV.

The Stalingrad Tractor Plant, designed by Kahn in 1930, was originally built in the United States, and then was unmounted, transported to the Soviet Union and assembled under the supervision of American engineers. It was equipped with the equipment of more than 80 American engineering companies and several German firms.

American hydrobuilder Hugh Cooper became the chief consultant for the construction of the DneproGES, hydro turbines for which were purchased from General Electric and Newport News Shipbuilding.[26]

The Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant was designed by the American firm Arthur G. McKee and Co., which also supervised its construction. A standard blast furnace for this and all other steel mills of the industrialisation period was developed by the Chicago-based Freyn Engineering Co.[27]
----

Even famous soviet ice-cream was produced on american equipment based on american recipes.

Not Mongolian khan, just Putin sent troops there to kill
Russians. This is what they are doing there.

Do Ukrainian troops shell the cities which captured by Russian troops?

Give me names fo the cities to be more specific?

Why civilian victims are ascribed to Russian troops only?

Because without Russia those people will be still alive.

As I said before - who's gonna trust you now?

I said nothing unnatural. Take for instance Palestine. Arabs have
their truth, Jews have their.

I don't see any reason why enyone should trust you anymore. The truth is just truth.
But the lie could be different.
The whole "Russian national idea" at this moment is based on lies.

Putin created the whole DNR/LNR story, we were telling that
for "last 8 years".

I would again suggest to you to refresh your memory and find the
people who triggered the events in 2014. There is an awesome thought

It was Putin who pushed Yanukovich to stop EU integration.

-- Ukraine could now be peaceful and prosperous if some nationalistic cranks had not come to Kiev's Maidan in 2014.

No way. Putin already said that Ukraine has no right to exist as current state. Let Putin rot in hell!

Best regards,
dp.

Well, Taiwan is also a breakaway state. So what?

More fiction, or perhaps delusion.

Peacekeepers? Hardly. In the final stages of the Transnistrain war
the Russian military fired on Moldova. Transnistria is still today
occupied by Russia.

It is also a historical problem. Moldova changed its borders many times,
and it so happened historically that on the left side of the Dniester
live Russian speakers. The plans of Moldova nationalists, when they came
to power, were similar to those of the Ukrainian ones, and they caused
the similar havoc, which could perfectly be avoided in case of a sober, balanced policy to all the nations of Moldova.

Here's a clue for you, Transnistria does not, never did and never will exist.

The most ugly thing in this conflict that the blame are put on Russia
only, but those fucking idiots who actually started the havoc are now
shown as martyrs and poor ones.

No, Russia is blamed simply for the invasion of Ukraine, and the aftermath.

It's not rocket science.

Hello, alexander!

Thursday April 21 2022 09:28, you wrote to me:

The opened it when they were ready. It's a stupid thing to start
a war when you are not ready.

And the dirty work has not yet done by the USSR. ;) Not telling about

USSR already did a lot of dirt work when invaded and annexed countries in Eastern Europe.
Like killing a lot of people there.

"readiness" of the USSR to fight Germany.

USSR decided to start war alone. It was Stalin's decision, not something done by US.

Well, although all this we can do now. ;) The main task Russia to make
its own powerful electronic industry. Russia lags behind in this

Impossible. Just impossible. Too difficult for our country. Not enough smart people.
It's not about telling lies, it's about using brains.

I still remember soviet modems, it was something very ugly and years behind the West.

area, its chips, processors are slower, bigger, but they exist and
work, judging by our missile industry. Who can say that Russian
military rockets use American chips?

Xilinx is widely used in our rocket equipment.

Do Ukrainian troops shell the cities which captured by Russian
troops?

Give me names fo the cities to be more specific?

Well, tell me about ill-fated Bucha, for instance. Russian troops are there -- what are doing Ukrainan troops in this case? Will they throw

Russians troops that did the most terrible crimes in Europe since Yugoslavian wars?

bottles of vodka to Russian troops? No, they had used the Grad
multiple launch systems, and they didn't bother about Russian speaking civilians at all.

Most of people in Bucha spoke Ukranian. And they didn't use Grad there, just another lie.

Why civilian victims are ascribed to Russian troops only?

Because without Russia those people will be still alive.

The same I can say about fucking Ukraine defenders who "defended"

And what about fucking soldiers who raped women in Ukraine? Do you like how they behave there?

those unhappy people from the windows of their flats, without
necessity at all.

So you also whant to call Soviet soldiers during WWII who were defending their cities also "fucking"?

It was Putin who pushed Yanukovich to stop EU integration.

He hadn't stopped it but only suspended the process, because the conditions of the agreement were non-lucrative for Ukraine. At least

Conditions were ok, Armenia got the same status, BTW. Puting tried to bribe him again but failed.

The older I get, the more I can see how history repeats itself, and the more sorry I become when I see how few people don't even see it.

In 2014 it was obvious to me that Putin was using the playbook from a certain Austrian corporal, whose name we are not allowed to mention, because of Godwin. Even if it happened ten years before I was even born, we actually study history here in Sweden. So, the 1938 Austrian Anschluss referendum, with all it's 99+% results...

Well, now Putin once again is playing the same card that he played in Crimea, this time to Anschluss even more territory. Go figure...

Take for instance the "fact" that they are fed: The Russian army has lost less than 6000 troops while eliminating half of the Ukrainian forces. So, why do they now need more than 300 thousand new troops? Do the fucking maths, Ivan!

Surely you do not believe that crap? Do you even know what happened in Ukraine during Stalin's reign? First he stole all the food from Ukraine and shipped it to Moscow, leaving tens of millions of Ukrainians to starve to death.

Then he made it illegal, punishable by death or deportation to Siberia (the same end result), to speak Ukrainian, only Russian was allowed at school.

So now, thanks only to a bunch of hard core old-timer's resistance, the Ukrainian culture has been able to slowly be restored.

So yes, Russian is still the first language for the vast majority of the Ukrainian people. But just as some former English colonies (USA, Canada and Australia) who even went so far as to kidnap indigenous children and put them in so called boarding schools (USA) where thousands of them died, and those that survived were forced to forget all of their indigenous culture, Stalin also failed in his attempt to totally eradicate the original Ukrainian people's culture and language.

And now, Putin is making a new attempt, picking up where Stalin left.

And of course, you are not taught at school or later, that Ukraine existed 1000 years before Russia? In fact, Russia is part of Ukraine, historically. I happen to know, because the Swedish Vikings actually founded Kiev and made it one of Europe's biggest cities 1500 years ago, when they used it as a steadily growing trading station on their way to Miklag�rd (today's Istanbul) via the rivers that ended with the Dnjepr.

The Ukrainian armed forces have pushed the totality of Russian ground forces back and in places have them running, the Russian air force does not really fly sorties anymore as too many planes and helicopters are shot down, Russia has lost its flagship plus some other vessels ... When Ukrainians are able to do that, don't you think they could have overrun the Donbas separatists with their fingers in their nose if they really wanted to?

Turn on brains when repeating a lie. There were 30 millions of them at

regions. The repressions in those years were always _political_, and

There is only one problem - more than 40% of Ukraine population is
actually Russian people, and they don't want to give up their culture
and identity. In other words Ukrainians after long whining to be
oppressed became new hardcore oppressors themselves.

Nationality is not a gene or place factor. Nationality is how a person

Not running but retreating -- after the mobilization in Ukraine its army
has 8 times more troops than Russian contractors fighting there. It
means that Russia is also going to increase the number of its troops by mobilization. The awful situation, taking in account that Russia's
claims towards Ukraine were reasonable and feasible for the Ukraine
authority if it wanted peace. But this authority preferred dead
Ukrainians to making concession to Russians.

Not of course -- the present strength of the Ukrainian troops is caused

Hello Alexander,

Well, now Putin once again is playing the same card that he
played in Crimea, this time to Anschluss even more
territory. Go figure...

What I cannot wrap my mind around is that he can fool a
complete population with it ... we have all these modern
communication tools. I'm very worried about the lack of
comments, supportive or rejective, from inside R50 and R45
though the links seem to work ... Is everybody really that scared for
reprisals? Does anyone overthere really believe the Putin rethoric? I
mean the average Russian is not any more brainless than the average
European I would suspect...

I repeat you should not mix up Putin and other issues, especially the nationalistic conflict in Ukraine. Putin is a tyrant, OK, but the
conflict in Ukraine gives him great points and trust in Russia because
he positions himself as a defender of the Russian people who is under attack in Donbass. He has actually hid himself behind this noble shield.

The question has been asked -

When are you leaving for the front?

Hundreds of thousands of Russians are fleeing Russia. Any which
way they can. There is a reason why. And that reason is fear. Not
just any kind of fear, but total fear.

The main issue now is that everything that Putin touches becomes discredited in the West.

Russians are being sent to Ukraine. Those Russians are not coming
back, except in body bags. Putin can no longer hide this from his own
people because too many Russians are already dead.

No matter what it is.

You are being told the "special military operation" is going well
in Russia. This has been going on for over seven months, with no end
in sight. Now your leader wants to send an additional 300,000 people,
most of whom who have had little or no military training, to Ukraine.
With the possibility of sending up to a million conscripts as cannon
fodder.

How many dead Russians will it take for you to realize there is a
very real possibility you could also be sent to the front?

Putin has become a bugaboo, and parents scare children with him.

'PUTIN, THE HAGUE IS WAITING FOR YOU'

Large banner taped to a tall building in Vilnius, Lithuania

It is not just Lithuanians who hold Putin to blame for the mess
in Ukraine. He has been ostracized in the United Nations the past
few days, and for good reason.

So many Russians are fleeing Russia that Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia,
and Poland have all banned Russian tourists. And Finland threatening
to do the same, due to the number of Russians with visas.

It is strange to ban people from Russia. Especially those trying
to flee from a madman intent on sending whoever he can find to Ukraine.

Escaping enlistment is not grounds for asylum. Protest and get sent
to the front, total fear. Russia today is one giant prison.

The prime minister of Lithuania explained the situation quite
clearly the other day, saying it was "not the duty of other countries
to save Russia fleeing mobilisation."

So please. Do not blame everything on the West for discrediting
everything that Putin says or does.

After all, Canada and New Zealand came to the rescue for Americans
who fled the draft during the Vietnam War.

Why are so many Russians leaving Russia? Hundreds of thousands have

The main issue now is that everything that Putin touches becomes discredited in the West. No matter what it is. Putin has become a

Russians leaving Russia are not blaming the West, but their own

Hello Ward,

The main issue now is that everything that Putin touches becomes
discredited in the West. No matter what it is.

What do you expect? Threatening with nuclear weapons and insisting it is no
idle threat ....

US President Harry Truman atomized two Japanese cities, showing
the world using such weapons was no idle threat. General Curtis LeMay
wanted Truman to go further by atomizing cities in the USSR.

The Ukrainian armed forces have pushed the totality of Russian ground forces
back and in places have them running, the Russian air force does not really
fly sorties anymore as too many planes and helicopters are shot down, Russia has lost its flagship plus some other vessels ... When Ukrainians are able to do that, don't you think they could have overrun the Donbas separatists with their fingers in their nose if they really wanted to?

A nuclear-armed Ukraine would have put an end to Putin's misrule.
And also millions of innocent lives in Russia. And maybe that was
why Putin ordered his "special military operation" - to rid Ukraine
of its nuclear weapons program (before it had developed real nukes).

When are you leaving for the front?

Over 300,000 Russians have fled Russia, many of them using their
visas to make Finland their new home. Others have continued onward
to Sweden, and beyond. Maybe some have become your new neigbbors
in Belgium ...

Nationality is not a gene or place factor. Nationality is how a person thinks, speaks, what books he reads, what songs it signs. To reformat forcefully people to new nationality is a crime. People in a free
country should choose themselves, without fines and repression.

You are confusing Nationality and culture. Nationality is based on the
nation in which you live.

Culture is not a gene or place factor. Culture is how a person thinks,
speaks, what books he reads, what songs it sings. To try to forcefully

Hello Bj�rn,

So .... how is it going with the uprooting of neo-Nazism in Ukraine?
Everything going as planned with the war?

The older I get, the more I can see how history repeats itself, and the more
sorry I become when I see how few people don't even see it.

Europe is turning to the right. Not just a little bit, but full tilt.
Spain, France, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, England, Denmark,
and many others. Finland almost joined the ranks, and Sweden just made
the list a week ago.

On Sunday there will be elections in Italy. And the favorite to become
prime minister is Giorgia Meloni, a 45-year-old woman representing a
far-right party that is expected to win an outright majority of seats.

Imagine that. Italy's 70th government since 1946, being led by a woman,
the female version of Il Duce. Maybe she will call herself La Douche.

In any event, this is getting to be just like old times. The only
thing left is for Germany to find its new Fuehrer ...

In 2014 it was obvious to me that Putin was using the playbook from a certain Austrian corporal, whose name we are not allowed to mention, because of Godwin.

You don't understand. In 2014, Putin carved out his own version of
Kuwait and annexed it as part of Russia.

More recently, Putin borrowed an idea from the GWB playbook, using
a pre-emptive first strike in order to bring about regime change in
Iraq.

It took the USA ten years to learn that Iraq was not worth the effort.
And twenty years to learn that Afghanistan was not worth the effort.

I wonder how long it will take Putin to figure things out?

Even if it happened ten years before I was even born, we actually study history here in Sweden. So, the 1938 Austrian Anschluss referendum, with all it's 99+% results...

The one redeeming quality the Austrian corporal had was bringing
Russians and Ukrainians together ...

Well, now Putin once again is playing the same card that he played in Crimea, this time to Anschluss even more territory. Go figure...

Well, he is bringing both sides to the same field of battle ...

For Life,
Lee

Hello Bj�rn,

I mean the average Russian is not any more brainless than the average
European I would suspect...

It's called indoctrination. I think that after more than a century of that,
many of then actually believe the bullshit they are being fed.

Poland ceased to exist for 400 years. And yet Poles have managed to
retain their own language, religion, and culture, as well as recreate
their own country.

Take for instance the "fact" that they are fed: The Russian army has lost less than 6000 troops while eliminating half of the Ukrainian forces. So, why do they now need more than 300 thousand new troops? Do the fucking maths, Ivan!

It simply is because there is no other option for you guys. From our vantage point the US Democratic party is very much to the right, and the GOP even more to the right. There is no-one in the center and no-one to the left ...

The Democrats are just as conservative as the Republicans, the latter however add a special flavour which meke them appear as more conservative, but in reality it's just the same.

In 50 years of visiting in over a hundred voyages, I hardly notice a change in the mindset. Sometimes there's an opening towards the center to make something happen, but these efforts are always drowned by the combined Democrats and Republicans making so many waves that any other effort is elbowed out.

The US has no progressive parties.

Hello Bj�rn,

Europe is turning to the right.

What the USAians don't seem to understand, is that what's regarded as ultra-right here in Europe, is still far left of even the progressive Dems in the USA.

In a major speech to the nation, President Joe Biden referred
to MAGA Republicans as "semi-fascists" - which got more than a
few folks upset about having been shown such disrespect.

But few seem to realize that Donald Trump started it, as it was
shown in a 2020 video clip of him exclaiming that Democrats want
to "replace American freedom with left-wing fascism. Fascists,
they are fascists."

Now, I have no idea if either of those leaders know the definition
of "fascist." However, Trump's past behavior does not justify Biden's
present behavior.

Here is the problem with Godwin's Law -

Should we ignore it in the present and allow individuals to suffer
no consequences of their latest actions?

Trump and his enablers have been the biggest users of "the past
as justification for the present" paradigm. Supporters serve as
enablers of Trump's abhorrent behaviors by justifying them based
on finding examples of similar, consequence-free behaviors by
others that occurred in the past.

Yes, Trump needs to man up and accept the consequences for his
own actions. Not that he will, or ever will. All Americans should
demand he receive the appropriate consequences. And yet, Trump
continues to do his own thing, consequence-free, to the glee
of all his supporters.

It is important to take responsibility for bettering our society,
and move beyond the likes of fascists and pseudo-fascists alike.

So the question is, when (if ever) will we do it?

For Life,
Lee

Well, IMHO its a lie in general - first, Russians are now prohibited to

accept those who run from the draft. They are afraid of Russians in
general, it is a mental illness, probably.

LL> Russians are being sent to Ukraine. Those Russians are not coming

The only reason why so many Russians support Putin today is that Ukraine
holds Nazi policy in eastern Ukraine since 2014. Nazism and Russians are incompatible, and many Russians are ready to fight to the end. Putin
uses the situation as a shield.

This situations has no other options after Zelensky declared
mobilization in Ukraine. He could solve the problem without it, but he preferred to throw into the war furnace millions of Ukrainians and he
feels himself Napoleon. Whereas there is no reason for such a war at
all. Zelensky and nationalists are stubborn as rams.

That is slightly incorrect, to use an understatement.

Several EU-countries, mine too, have declared that draft-dodgers are not welcome, will not get visa, not even for humanitarian reasons.

The reasons are simple:

1) None of these people lifted a finger against the illegal invasion and the war in Ukraine until they felt the heat themselves. Clean up your own mess at home. If all the disgusted flee, only the disgusting remain.

2) Russians fleeing Russia to dodge the draft do not constitute a humanitarian crisis. Ukrainians whom fled Ukraine to run from a war and to save themselves "do" constitute a humanitarian crisis. They are true refugees and are helped here. Millions have fled and are warmly welcomed, they are helped, sheltered, fed, they take part in local social life, are helped to find a job to support themselves until they can return ... if they so wish. Complete emergency villages with all utilities have been built ... children are learning the language and go to school here.

3) Taking in Russian draft dodgers would be an insult towards the Ukrainian refugess. Russian draft-dodgers are not refugees according to the UN Convention. The European budget is not going to pay for millions of draft dodgers.

Russians can still apply for visa.

Zelensky and nationalists are stubborn as rams.

Russia invaded a peaceful member of the international society and in doing so violated the UN Charter of which it is a subscriber bound to its wording.

Hello Ward,

Trump wanted to withdraw the US from NATO.

Trump and Putin are one .... the former got elected because of the intervention of the latter .... we have escaped .... narrowly ....

Escaped? Escaped from what?

For Life,

Hello Alexander,

You are confusing Nationality and culture. Nationality is based on
the nation in which you live.

If a person moved to another country - he changed his
nationality? ;-)

The USA does not recognize dual citizenship (except for those
from Vatican City and Israel).

Edward Snowden moved to Russia. And was granted full Russian
citizen by Vladimir Putin. Edward Snowden claims he has not, and
will not, relinquish his US citizenship. So what nationality is
Edward Snowden?

Only if he declares that new country to be his permanent residence
and loyalty. If an American moves to England for a job for a few
years, they do not become British but remain as American. But if
they move to England and declare that to be their new loyalty, then
they become British.

Who are Scotts and the the Welsh in the UK?

Scots are rulers of Scotland. Welsh are the real rulers of Wales,
as even Charles III knows from having to recite his oath in Welsh
in order to become king.

If a Jew moves to Finland he becomes a Finn?

You have again confused nationality and culture. Being a Jew is not
a nationality. The best answer to your question is yes, they become
a Finn but they are also still a Jew.

Jew is not nationality! A new word in horsed aviation, as we put it in Russia.

The Wandering Jew can be whatever nationality he/she wants ...

For Life,
Lee

Hello Ward,

Who are Scotts and the the Welsh in the UK?

The Scotts and the Welsh in the European Union felt that they should be given a greater voice in European decision-making. That is why the European
Committee of the Regions was established under the Maastricht Treaty, and Member States were allowed to be represented in the Council of the EU by ministers from their regional governments.

Scots were the reason why Roman soldiers were never able to occupy
Scotland. Hence the need to build Hadrian's Wall, which still stands
today.

Scotland and Wales in recent years have not started separatist wars nor have
they shot down innocent civilian airliners.

Scotland will go its own way when Charles III abdicates.
So will Wales, as the real Prince of Wales claims his rightful
title as King.

For Life,
Lee

Their nationality is British, their culture is Scotish and Welsh.

DUH -- that is what I said.

That makes no sense to me. Try again.

You pretend not to see obvious things -- the war in Ukraine had been
started when Ukraininan troops moved to eastern, Russian speaking part
of Ukraine. No peaceful solution had been taken, because those who
captured power in Kiev had only one way of acting - violence. As for the plane, Ukraine had much more gains from it. Rebels had no reason to shot
down the plane which flew to the Russian border.

I strogly believe that a person should define his nationality himself.
Paper or other documents mean little. And vice versa, if a person
doesn't recognize that he is, for instance, a Russian -- it means he is
not a Russian.

Those at the capital that day were extremists led the by Donald Trump.

It was not the people speaking at the capitol on Jan 6, 2021, it
was a group of MAGA trumpists supported by right wing groups like
the proud boys trying to overturn the results of the election. They
were acting against the people.
Big difference.

No, it was not an extremist group in Kyiv. It was the people. Yanukovich knew his position was not popular with the people but he went forward with it anyway and look where it got him.

British nationality IMHO is artificial, as was "Soviet people". And in
the world too, a person from London is rather an Englishman from England
than a Briton.

Scots are rulers of Scotland. Welsh are the real rulers of Wales,
as even Charles III knows from having to recite his oath in Welsh
in order to become king.

Charles recited it in Welsh because he speaks the language fluent, he did so because he could, not because he "had to". He was, up until that point, the Prince of Wales.

Lilybet never spoke Welsh, never recited the oath in Welsh ... she even never went to school.

today.

That is a misconception, just as the Chinese wall is.

Only portions remain with large gaps in between and it doesn't exactly "stand" ... here and there section remain in the hills ... A lot of it was recycled in construction. The average height originally being just 12 feet, 4 meters.

Hadrian's wall was not an impregnable fortification. the Scotts just walked past it as they saw fit. It served as toll gates and military was only useful to slow down an attacking force .... As the Scotts were a tribal people without unified structure in those days, they never could assemble a real army.

The same with the Chinese wall which is not one continuous big construction but only has sections where it was expected that an attacking force could move.

Alexander,

plane, Ukraine had much more gains from it. Rebels had no reason to shot down the plane which flew to the Russian border.

The shrapnel taken from the bodies of the cockpit crew removes all doubt of "what" it is that brought the plane down ... and Ukraine did not possess that weapon.

events in 2014?

In Kyiv in 2014 the people of Ukraine spoke, they did what they
wanted/needed to do.

What what did Americans? �-)

I think you need to understand the American electoral system to fully understand the intended meaning of the events on Jan.6th 2021 in Washington DC... and I call upon my American friends here to correct me where I'm wrong.

The American electoral system is timed by law ...

An election for president of the United States happens every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That is to say, that day the electoral college is elected.

That electoral college then votes. Since the mid-20th century, Congress has met in a Joint Session every four years on January 6 at 1:00 p.m. to tally votes in the Electoral College. The sitting Vice President presides over the meeting and opens the votes from each state in alphabetical order.

Odd occasions sometimes happen on that January 6th as in 2001 Al Gore, who was a presidential candidate, announced the election of his opponent.

Back to 2021 ... there was a carefully planned strategy by groups of citizens (the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, ...) to converge on Washington on January 6th. I have Republican friends in Montana and in group they booked airplane trips to Washington DC. They sent around videos and photos while in flight Jan.5th and I think no-one realised this was going to be just more than some banner waving and shouting of slogans.

Steve Bannon had previously said on January 5th that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow". It did.

At the time of the storming of the Capitol, Trump was holding a speech at the Elipse, some 2.5km away and ordered his driver to take him to the Cqpitol. The driver refused explaining he had no authority upon which Trump attacked the driver.

The intention clearly was to arrive by the Capitol, by 1pm, when the mob of thousands were storming it. The Capitol police were already overwhelmed and now suddenly would have to protect the President. Trump could climb the stairs, address the crowd, most likely intending to enter the House of Representatives' chambers or the Senate and declare himself to be the winner of the presidential election ... it was intended to be no less than a violent overthrow of a democratic process and planned at the White House evidence suggests Dec.18th...

It did not work because of 2 people:

1. A very courageous driver of the Presidential limousine
2. Vice-president Pence who refused to cooperate ... Trump had said he should be hanged and the mob that stormed the Capitol actually planned that.

The rest is history.

Now, please, in as much detail, please explain to me what happened in 2014 and how this in any way compares to January 6th 2021...

Have a nice day trying.
