    About those 2000 Leopard 2's in the EU. Not so much. Germany itself has less than 100 operational.

    Last week, Lieutenant General Alfons Mais, the commander and highest ranking officer of the German army, said the 100 billion euro previously promised by Chancellor Olaf Scholz would not be enough to make the country’s armed forces battle ready.


    “The army that I have the duty to lead is more or less bare,” a report by press agency DPA quoted Mais saying.


    Pistorius’ remark came within hours after chairman of German Armed Forces Association, Colonel Andre Wustner, in an interview to Bild claimed that only 30 per cent of approximately 300 Leopard 2 tanks in Germany’s stock are currently operational.


    The USA has just 89 tanks in the EU(all in Poland).

    That's a classic Soviet tactic, replace the natives with Russians.
    Crimea was Russian all the way back to the 10th century(Vladimir 1st,back when Kiev was the capitol of Russia),prior to Greek and later Roman invasions. Russian again for a few centuries,then the Ottoman empire conquered it.


    1768-1774 when Russia took over an Ottoman empire fortress? Maybe 1783,when Catherine the 2nd eliminated self rule for Crimea(she is also the one who moved the capitol from Kiev in 1775),after Muslim's led riots to rejoin the then greatly diminished Ottoman empire?

    Oh,Soviet tactics. Understood.

    Here is my take on it!

    White people have different sub races

    1. Western European English, French, German

    2. Northern European Nordic countries

    3. Spanish, Italian, Roma

    4. Eastern European all the eastern countries

    So the DNA difference between a person from Crimea and Russian would be very small or none.

    I doubt a NBC reporter just happened upon five or so Russian implants. Some people want to be Russian and are Russians.

    Funny how NBC flucuates between evil, liberal, godless lamestream media and reliable, credible and unbiased trustworthy news source on INGO.

    Did NBC mention the DNA explanation, or was that too ridiculous for even them? I have to wonder how civil wars even happen, since everyone fighting is genetically identical.

    I hope you do not believe the cat woman story,given it is Russian troops in Zaporizhzhia(for more than a year). They are not shelling or firing missiles at it. That image is being used because on the 28th of last month the shelling knocked out power to the nuclear plant which has since been running on diesel generators,and Ukraine wants to blame Russia for the optics and especially worse case and if the plant has to be shut down. Ukraine was happy to admit it was them shelling when they blew up the RUSSIAN ammo depot there November 25th 2022.


    It took more than a month to get new IAEA UN observers in(they arrived just yesterday,the plant is still on backup generators).
