America never erased Poland from the map.
He's a Russian citizen born in the Soviet Tajikistan.
Yes avsolutely, if they just got some more of these Humvee cars they would be laying siege to Vladivostok by this time in 2025.
Viktor's (fictionalized, sympathetic) Hollywood biopic still has one of the greatest movie opening music videos: https://youtu.be/VHn1zogeyO4
Yesterday I've heard this song used in a Russian paratrooper's video from Ukraine.
Oh, and it's a fun coincidence that his Lancaster bombers were powered by the Merlin engines.
Did you read that article that I sent you, explaining the Polish perspective?
Because he was also (Sir) Arthur.
Not sure about him, but General MacArthur did identify with King Arthur (and apparently believed in his Scottish clan's legendary lineage).
There would be no Ukraine at all. Putin is very clear about that, I don't know why you don't listen to him when he tells you there was never any Ukraine.
They retreated because they were defeated.
If they had won, the capital would be theirs, as would be the second largest city too, and everything between them.
They somehow deluded themselves it would be more like the Germans in Austria, or the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia, with some shock and awe fireworks. This would why they sent the Rosgvardia internal troops columns on Kharkiv in riot control trucks as a vanguard, and thought taking Kyiv would be like Kabul 1979. This might be also why the SVR chief was so nervous, he knew it's not going to be like that. It was never supposed to end like it did, and that's the Ukrainian achievement.
"King" Arthur Harris' comment was on point. His German counterpart Hermann Meyer had also famously spoken on the subject, earlier.
And everything between them (the Chernihiv and Sumy regions).
All the dead Russian soldiers left behind (some still being discovered, like these in Chernihiv: https://news.yahoo.com/two-russian-tanks-dead-crew-101700467.html - you can find uncensored pics of them after months in water, including weeks when the territory was under Russian control but their "friends" just left them right where they fell from a pontoon bridge) would be probably surprised at your opinion they didn't take "front towards the enemy" to the heart, even after having copied the Claymore mines as the MON-50.
NATO didn't do enough to avert the war by arming Ukraine. They thought they can just negotiate with Putin and he's reasonable.
That's funny that you think only one country can be shelling another. Do you know that quote from Sir Bomber Harris?
(aka DJ Harris https://youtu.be/3_QY3xsLQNI)
They've liberated most of the north.
Anyway it's the second thread about this bridge, and I don't even think this is a place for threads like that.
Otherwise I'd be spamming them lol
(I do miss modding /r/combatfootage)
I bought V four times.
why
No Western "boots", other than volunteer fighters (like the American flyboys of the Kościuszko Squadron).
There were also allied (and betrayed) Ukrainian and Belarusian forces.

I guess the title alone should be sufficient.
I don't think this was a common complaint in France or Germany (or Poland) even during the late 1930s when they desperately tried to win an arms race with Germany while at the same time sacrificing countries like Austria and Czechoslovakia for absolutely nothing.
And that's actually funny, because Hitler really, really wanted to crush Czechoslovakia by force. He was furious over the Munich Agreement, where his own diplomats "stole his war". Oh, Hitler.
We in Poland once stopped the Leninist march on the West almost single-handedly (almost, because the West and France in particular helped a lot, including French marshals and generals planning our great counter-offensive at Warsaw). But the dockyard workers in England stopped the shipments of weapons to Poland for how we were somehow perceived as the bad guys by Labour Party and friends, seen as warmongering enemies of peace and what not. As bizarre as the current pro-Leninist attitudes among the weirdos in this thread.
After the war, we unfortunately agreed to divide Ukraine (and Belarus) between Poland and Russia. It turned out to be a huge mistake. This is why after the Second War we've realized that "there can't be a free Poland without free Ukraine". And without free Poland there can't be free East Europe. The entire fall of communism began in Poland. Then the Soviet Union itself fell, and we were the very first country to recognise the independence of Ukraine.
In case if you've never heard about it, freedom isn't free.
Two of these kids, story and translation in description: https://youtu.be/ejOozEaMLs4
They claim that it is not too hard a life.
The tragic and incomprehensible for me is how they were completely forgotten by their own families in Russia. How can you commonly just leave your own mother or grandmother like that, I have no idea.
There were also younger people, including orphaned Russian children who were notorious begging and sniffing glue between the two wars. Actually they were not even just war orphans, a number even had traveled there from the Russia proper.
And which is like many of the hordes of homeless street children in Moscow have traveled there from all over the country and even from beyond. I remember one claiming he was from Ukraine but his mother had "sold him to the Gypsies".
Weirdos in the comments want that for some reason.
Today, Rojava does that. I know it's an unrecognised state that didn't even formally declare independence (and currently threatened with total destruction by Turkey) but they do that.
They have an actual radical feminist ideology there, especially radical since they're in a ME Muslim country. But even they keep them strictly separated, in their own units, in their own armed force (YPJ).
They also recruit (conscript) child soldiers, which is way more normal, for both the region/culture and rebel armies generally.
NO U are wrong lol
