1. Russia almost always shuts down refining capacity during the summer for maintenance, so the shortage is predictable and should be planned for, but European politicians are happy to see the Russians supposedly suffer something or other. 2. The effectiveness of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries is grossly over estimated. Some European politicians will know the true figures so understand there is no cause and effect for Ukrainian attacks.

The Soviet Union, not Russia, liberated parts of Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, northern Korea and sundry other bits from Japanese imperial occupation and by scaring Japan into surrendering, ensured that Japan's empire acquired in WW2 disappeared.

Manned balloons flying over Lithuania and Latvia in the direction of Leningrad. Some western buccaneering freelancer planning to deliver FPVs over St. Petersburg?

"Liliia Prutian, a medic in Ukraine’s armed forces" Not a civilian but a soldier as a member of Ukraine's armed forces. Doesn't he mean prisoner of war camps? Enemy soldier captured during a conflict can be held until the conflict ends so nothing wrong with Ukrainians being held as prisoners of war. Problem for Ukrainians seems to be that Russia has captured far more Ukrainians than Ukraine has captured Russians so one-for-one exchanges have left many Ukrainians in Russian POW camps. One advantage, at least they are not likely to be killed on the battlefield.

We allow enough convicted criminals into the UK. Why should we allow this one? UK is not part of the EU and NATO is a defensive alliance so why should she be granted privileged access to the UK?

On August 20th, 1944, 82 years ago, the Soviet 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts launched a two prong attack against the German Army South Ukraine in Romania, quickly destroying Third and Fourth Romanian armies there to defend the flanks of the reconstituted Nazi Sixth Army. By August 23, the Nazi Sixth Army had been surrounded again in a re-run of Stalingrad called the Second Jassy-Kishinev Offensive. This stunning but little know victory was achieved with the direct intervention of American air power in the shape of the United States Fifteenth Air Force operating P-38s from Southern Italy severely mauling Nazi air resources in Romania Today, August 23, is the 82nd anniversary of the King Michael I of Romania-led coup that successfully overthrew the pro-Nazi fascist government of Marshal Ion Antonescu. Romania immediately halted its military actions against the Soviet Union, switched sides to join the Allies, and declared war on Germany, turning its armies against German forces. Tomorrow, August 24th, is the 82nd anniversary of the moment when Germany's defeat in World War 2 should have become obvious but not according to Washington's narrative because that would mean Washington would have to accept that it was merely on the winning side. 1/2

Nah, not the New York Times, but the one and only Times of London. As for this advert from the Scientologists.......

If @rshereme wants credibility he shouldn't block anyone. He just like Ukrainian air defence who see3m to have stopped reporting how many Russian drones/missiles they shot down. Meanwhile back to the attack on the Russian Navy. At least the Russian Navy has ships that can be sunk. What does the Ukrainian Navy have? A couple of ex-Danish minesweepers tied up in Rosyth and a couple of ex-Royal Navy minehunter tied up in Portsmouth and that seems to be it.

Nah, start blaming the United States and its vassals in Brussels for overthrowing the democratically elected president of Ukraine with a massively funded violent Banderite putsch. The United States, EU and NATO can end this conflict tomorrow by just walking away from the mess they created. nitter.cf/FacciniMyriam/status/2…

So far North Korean soldiers have only fought on Russian territory and not in Ukraine itself. Meanwhile Russia has said it will regard any westen ttroops that end up in Ukraine as combatants and not 'peacekeepers'.

Yet another Banderitebot, @iLsepupiLse posting and then blocking me nitter.cf/iLsepupiLse/status/208…

You have to love idiots like @schachi08. They are so convinced that their post is the truth that they block you from replying to them. nitter.cf/schachi08/status/20859… This tells me that subconsciously they know their post is utter bullshit as is the case with this one from @schachi08 where he projects his own stupidity on to me. It is some countries that are members of NATO and Ukraine who are the terrorist states and they aren't ashamed of that, in fact the revel in it.

What rubbish. Tell me how you would de-militarise Ukraine and then NATO in a few days and I'll admit you aren't a Banderite propagandist.

So respective number of civilian dead is now a measure of victory. Sick.

Napoleon Bonaparte allegedly said "Don't interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". Perhaps the clerical government in Iran reckons that Trump is making enough mistakes that it's not worth killing him. Does the United States really control the planet's fuel. Not really and one of its most powerful tools, the strategic reserve, is disappearing. Once that goes, the price will climb.

Quite obvious @CyrusShares doesn't share because he blocks people. Should change his moniker to @CyrusDoesNotShare

nothing

So @JustusLiebig5, how would you translate Herrenrasse?

nitter.cf/mhmck/status/207334736… Usual Banderite Fanboy BS. Finland allied with the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 hoping to exploit the Soviet Union's concentration of defeating Operation Barbarossa to 'liberate' the territory it lost after the Winter War and steal more Russian territory from the Soviet Union. As history records, Finland lost and signed the Moscow Armistice agreeing to cede territories to the Soviet Union, including Petsamo, Salla, and parts of Karelia. So Karelia is not occupied but part of Russia.

400 cities in Iran? There are only 98 cities with a population greater than 100,000 in Iran. @kavian867102 making stuff up then?
