lol wtf. Man who condemns dragging up folks past to attack them with in todays modern age, is digging up irrelevant facts to make pro Russian speech during Ukraine war? :confused::confused:
 
Well that didnt end well for some poor Russian in the back of a Mitsubishi images doing the rounds on Twitter warning rather grim.

Apparently Ukranian paratroopers foiled whatever they was up to.

I think I have managed to decipher that reply. Being mindful of the estimated 16,825,000 Russian people who gave their lives helping fighting the Germans in WW2, roughly 15 percent of Russia's total population at the time, is not, in my opinion, in any way, a pro Russian speech in support of their current activities.

How is it at all relevant then? Feeling nostalgic?

And why did they join the war? Because THEY were invaded by Hitler, did they jump in to protect any of the rest of Europe? No, in fact they kept half of it after the war ended and subjected them to all sorts of atrocities themselves.

Having gratitude to over sixteen and a half million Russians sacrificing themselves to help us fight the Germans and then finding current posts in here describing their people in general as "Slavic peasants" is relevant to a balanced opinion on Russians in general and not in any way an indulgence in nostalgia. I doubt the average Russian citizen is much changed from then to now.

What BS... they were fighting their OWN war on the eastern front. Many Allied lives were lost trying to get supplies to them.
 
This short thread is worth a quick read:


Edit - in addition to the above, the NYT seems to have gone through a bunch of these intercepts, quite interesting:

Hmm Russian military comms very active tonight - can't tell if anything significant but they've been pretty quiet lately.

EDIT: Sounds like they are activating predetermined orders.

How are you listening to that?

Not just listening seeing the aircraft activity and reports of movement, etc. you can also check the common frequencies they use on http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ (You can't really just listen in except when they use voice in the clear on 4372KHz or 8090KHz being the most common ones for Russian bombers but even that not very useful unless you know Russian and the codes they use).

Try reading one yourself, Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with Germany and would have done nothing to help had Hitler not attacked Russia in operation Barbarossa.
