What happened to the line of tanks the other week ?

Mostly destroyed. Just like in the gulf war of 1991, the Ukrainian conflict is demonstrating a serious design flaw in Soviet/Russian armour.



The T-72 and T-90 tanks use an autoloader on a carousel situated right under the turret. This means that once the tanks armour is breached, the ammunition is at risk of detonating and this results in the entire turret blowing off the chassis.






Whereas in US and NATO tank designs. They store the ammunition in the rear of the turret complete with blast panels to deflect the explosion outwards away from the tank and crew. This leaves the crew safe and the tank in a good state of repair.

The Russian denials are getting more and more egregious.

This is an interesting read.

Russian nationalists attend a "Russian March" demonstration on National Unity Day in Moscow November 4, 2012. Notice the bald guy at the front.

   Anybody could post a picture of a neo nazi in every western country, including ours.
      Why post such irrelevant links and pictures? Is your point that all the Russians are nazis? What is the point you are failing to make?

      More uncomfortable truths about western lies and war crimes from the excellent Bernhard at Moon of Alabama below;

 https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/us-intelligence-says-its-intelligence-is-bullshit.html#more

      I cannot recommend highly enough to follow the discussion below the line here. In my view the liveliest most informed geopolitical analysis anywhere on the web. It is a very long established site with a long established well informed commentariat. A geopolitical university.

Russia has been suspended from UN Human Rights Council

https://news.sky.com/video/ukraine-war-russia-expelled-from-un-human-rights-council-12584562
    There are many parts of the UN that have been corrupted and politicised by Western powers at the UN. They use their usual MO to "encourage" small weak nations to do their bidding.
      None of this is a secret. The US with their loyal yapping dogs of the UK and France abuse their permanent member status and financial and military might to bribe, blackmail, coerce and threaten smaller countries.
      The OPCW is a good example of how functioning impartial UN bodies can be corrupted to become tools of politics.
      The former head of the OPCW, Jose Bustani, has told how he was threatened by John Bolton on behalf of the US government. The US wanted him to step down and he was threatened and told that they knew where his kids went to school etc. All of this is recounted by Bustani himself. A more acceptable, to the US, was eventually appointed
      Later we had the whistleblowers from the inspection teams(Ian Henderson et al) who visited alleged chemical weapon attack sites in Syria. The findings of the inspection team were that the evidence pointed to the so called western backed rebels being responsible. Before their findings were put into an official report the OPCW headquarters was "paid a visit" by unnamed "US officials". The inspectors were sacked and replaced and a report with much redacted and removed was released which led readers to infer Syrian govt. responsibility contrary to the actual findings.
      The OPCW, once a credible impartial organisation, is now simply a political tool for nefarious western interests. Unfortunately many people still give The OPCW the credence it used to deserve. Those who now effectively control its pronouncements use this as cover.
      The corruption and politicising of the OPCW has been ongoing for many years but remains unreported in the West. Ask yourself this.
      If a former head of the OPCW recounted threats from a senior Russian government official.
      If the FSB then "paid a visit" to OPCW headquarters and then inspectors who had found results unfavourable were sacked and a new team appointed to issue a report completely at odds with the inspection teams findings.
      Do you think it would be on the News? In the papers?
      Of course it would and you would treat anything and everything coming from the OPCW after that with the derision it now deserves.
      But that never happened. What did happen is the undeniable corruption and politicisation of a formerly neutral and honest institution by the US to favour whose? interest. And it wasn't on the news in the west, or the papers or discussed.
       We do not stay informed by consuming what is given to us and by what we are told by vested interests. We have to look for ourselves and display some real intellectual curiosity if we are really interested in anything other than comforting lies.
