The Racist American President, who hates whites, is engineering a "You and Him fight!" between Russia and America -- the two most power white nations on the planet.

Obama is poisonous treason... murder and planned deception. He's dangerous to the extreme to normal human beings trying to mind their own business and survive.

Kremlin-backed insurgents are transporting large quantities of coal from Ukraine to Russia, which has now offered to sell the coal back to Kyiv. On a number of occasions OSCE monitoring mission in Ukraine have observed “high numbers of dumper trucks transporting coal from the Luhansk region to the Russian Federation.”

I'm surprised Ukraine is still providing electricity to Crimea and the "separatists".
 Quoting: hIndsIght2020


sounds like total bs

Russia is providing free coal.

Putin Decides to Donate 50,000 Tons of Russia’s Coal Daily to Ukraine for Heat

On Saturday, December 27th, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided that though Ukraine cannot now pay for coal and will soon go bankrupt, so that any 'sale' of coal to Ukraine will be a donation, Russia will nonetheless supply 50,000 tons of coal per day to Ukraine in order to help them through the winter. The official announcement said that "this is a demonstration of good will by President Vladimir Putin to provide real support for the Ukrainian people."

the reason for this I'm guessing, is mainly to keep that nuke plant from melting down.

maybe it is coming from Donbass, but it is free according to that source.

Red Cross official says Moscow used ‘humanitarian’ convoys to ship arms to militants in Ukraine

[link to www.kyivpost.com]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66451815


"Igor Trunov, the head of the Moscow city office of the Russian Red Cross, says that the Russian government used what it called 'humanitarian convoys' to 'most likely' ship arms to pro-Moscow fighters in Ukraine, in direct violation of international humanitarian law and practice."

West Wishes to End Confrontation With Russia: EU Foreign Policy Chief

ROME, December 28 (Sputnik) — Western countries wish to end the “logic of confrontation” in its relations with Russia over the Ukrainian crisis and engage in direct dialogue with Moscow, EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Sunday.

“I often speak to [US Secretary of State John] Kerry and there is complete unity in views on the Ukrainian crisis, and similar views exist in other countries, from Canada to Japan. And everyone wants to end the logic of confrontation, the wall to wall,” Mogherini said in an interview with the Italian La Repubblica newspaper.<50% no link-search title

In WW1 Russia had a weak economy on top of the Revolution toward the latter part of the war and had to withdraw as It could not sustain the war. Same thing with WW2 per se, the Russian military literally could not maintain the war at it's current loss rate of it's soldiers. On a side note, ironically Stalin thought the Western allies wouldn't stop at Berlin.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66435140

Not the best source, but otherwise good enough. Russia was not the Powerhouse it is today. It could not maintain the level at which it could field it's military in both manpower and resources.
By April 1945, Germany faced its last days with 1.9 million German soldiers in the East fighting 6.4 million Red Army soldiers while 1 million German soldiers in the West battled 4 million Western Allied soldiers.[100] While initial talk existed of a race to Berlin by the Allies, after Stalin successfully lobbied for Eastern Germany to fall within the Soviet "sphere of influence" at Yalta, no plans were made by the Western Allies to seize the city by a ground operation.[101][102] Stalin still remained suspicious that western Allied forces holding at the Elbe river might move on the capital and, even in the last days, that the Americans might employ their two airborne divisions to capture the city.[103]

Stalin directed the Red Army to move rapidly in a broad front into Germany because he did not believe the Western Allies would hand over territory they occupied, while he made the overriding objective capturing Berlin.[104] After successfully capturing Eastern Prussia, three Red Army fronts converged on the heart of Eastern Germany, with one of the last pitched battles of the war putting the Soviets at the virtual gates of Berlin.[105] By April 24, Berlin was encircled by elements of two Soviet fronts,[106] one of which had begun a massive shelling of the city on April 20 that would not end until the city's surrender.[107] On April 30, Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide, after which Soviet forces found their remains, which had been burned at Hitler's directive.[108] German forces surrendered a few days later. Some historians argue that Stalin delayed the last final push for Berlin by two months in order to capture other areas for political reasons, which they argue gave the Wehrmacht time to prepare and increased Soviet casualties (which exceeded 400,000), though this is contested by other historians.[109] Despite the Soviets' possession of Hitler's remains, Stalin did not believe that his old nemesis was actually dead, a belief that remained for years after the war.[110][111] Stalin also later directed aides to spend years researching and writing a secret book about Hitler's life for his own private reading that reflected Stalin's prejudices, including an absence of criticism of Hitler for his treatment of Jews.[112]

Fending off the German invasion and pressing to victory over Nazi Germany in the World War II required a tremendous sacrifice by the Soviet Union (more than any other country in human history). Soviet military casualties totaled approximately 35 million (official figures 28.2 million) with approximately 14.7 million killed, missing or captured (official figures 11.285 million).[113] Although figures vary, the Soviet civilian death toll probably reached 20 million.[113] Millions of Soviet soldiers and civilians disappeared into German detention camps and slave labor factories, while millions more suffered permanent physical and mental damage.[113] Economic losses, including losses in resources and manufacturing capacity in western Russia and Ukraine, were also catastrophic.[113] The war resulted in the destruction of approximately 70,000 Soviet cities, towns and villages.[114] Destroyed in that process were 6 million houses, 98,000 farms, 32,000 factories, 82,000 schools, 43,000 libraries, 6,000 hospitals and thousands of kilometers of roads and railway track.[114]

Stalin was soon conferred with the rank of the Generalissimus of the Soviet Union, which becomes the country's highest military rank followed by Marshal for his role in the Soviet victory of the war.

This further aggravated the crisis within Russia, where bread riots broke out in Petrograd and led to the revolution that brought down the Romanovs. The subsequent Provisional Government tried to keep Russia in the war, but the Bolsheviks swept to power several months later in the October 1917 revolution, using Vladimir Lenin's program of "Peace, Bread, Land" and "All Power to the Soviets" to win a majority of the workers, soldiers and peasants to their side.

What are you even talking about? I've asked why in your opinion Russia even entered WW1, not why it did not win in it. And "another case" is a bit earlier than WW1. A century earlier actually.

And why should have Stalin trusted the Allies exactly? No offence to soldiers of Western countries that actually fought, but the political leadership was not really trustable - on his personal experiense.

Same thing with WW2 per se, the Russian military literally could not maintain the war at it's current loss rate of it's soldiers. On a side note, ironically Stalin thought the Western allies wouldn't stop at Berlin.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66435140


What are you even talking about? I've asked why in your opinion Russia even entered WW1, not why it did not win in it. And "another case" is a bit earlier than WW1. A century earlier actually.

And why should have Stalin trusted the Allies exactly? No offence to soldiers of Western countries that actually fought, but the political leadership was not really trustable - on his personal experiense.
 Quoting: Tamonten

Russia entered WW1 under fear of it's own territory and to help its ally serbia.

You are absolutely correct my friend! And this is what I like on one military forum what i visit very often. There is one thread, unoficially called "butthurt thread", where everyone is able to whin about his miserable life, how everyone spits on his Banderistas behavior etc. and other one thread dedicated strictly to the (news), photos and videos. And everyone who whins there is banned. The good thing is also that only registered members are allowed to post here...

West Wishes to End Confrontation With Russia: EU Foreign Policy Chief

ROME, December 28 (Sputnik) — Western countries wish to end the “logic of confrontation” in its relations with Russia over the Ukrainian crisis and engage in direct dialogue with Moscow, EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Sunday.

“I often speak to [US Secretary of State John] Kerry and there is complete unity in views on the Ukrainian crisis, and similar views exist in other countries, from Canada to Japan. And everyone wants to end the logic of confrontation, the wall to wall,” Mogherini said in an interview with the Italian La Repubblica newspaper.<50% no link-search title

And what exactly was in a way if Stalin wanted to fully incorporate Warshaw Pact countries into USSR? You are contradictng yourself without even realising it.
Oh, yeah. And we know that the sole reason for Allies to finally enter the war on land in summer of 1944 is to stop Red Army before it reaches La Manche. But, you know, my Great-Grandfather went to prison in 1942 for alleged crime of telling that the Allies are stalling the opening of Second Front. Not that he'd really said it - it were just usual intrigues on workplace.

Also you've forgot another case, earlier one. And WW1 too. You are just confirming my statement here.
 Quoting: Tamonten

In WW1 Russia had a weak economy on top of the Revolution toward the latter part of the war and had to withdraw as It could not sustain the war. Same thing with WW2 per se, the Russian military literally could not maintain the war at it's current loss rate of it's soldiers.

Nice mix. First one is complete nonsense, second - official pretext mixed with another nonsense. Let me guess - a result of quick Wikipedia reading? You clearly don't have any fundamental knowlege on the matter.
As far as I know, one of the goals of Entente was reestablishing of independend Poland which meant that Russia would have actually lost territory as a result of winning the war.

Why indeed... I can list several reasons why Soviet leadership did not trust Allies. For starters - prolonged launch of lend-lease and severly stalled opening of second front. What exactly did SU during the war that made Allies mistrustful?

Being spoon fed is nice isn't it. I see any intelligent discussion regarding anything about Russia is met with hostility. So i'll just stop. Have a nice day. And on the mistrust issue, maybe Stalin murdering more people than Hitler would have something to do with it.

Your definitions of "intelligent discussion" and "hostility" are rather off, I should note. Dodging difficult questions is apparently "intelligent" and pressing towards them is "hostility". Fine. I prefer to call it sophism though.
