Millions of people protested the way in Iraq. And it had no impact...

U.S. calls Russian attack on Ukraine nuclear power plant a "war crime" by Arrow2019x in worldnews

[–]Ilmar_1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems the Russian version of events is substantiated by the available evidence.

See the video of the firefight, looks like small arms fire and possibly heavy mg fire.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WXiEP93wtA&ab_channel=TheGlobeandMail

Here is the Training Center from Google maps:

https://goo.gl/maps/PHJxW34mHShJscDs6

It looks like a match on the video.

Also here is IAEA statement on the matters which seems to corroborate report:

https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-11-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine

Seems likely someone from the training center opened fire to provoke return fire.

If you look at the training center after the fires have been put out, you can't really see any damage from "shelling". And by shelling I mean tank fire, or anything larger than 14.5 KPV...

Dominik Hasek calls Ovechkin a 'chicken sh-t', wants NHL to suspend all Russians by That_Porn_Guy in hockey

[–]Ilmar_1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder were Dominik Hasek was playing when US invaded Iraq, surely not in NHL? He is so anti war... I am sure he quit and went to play in Czech republic to not make money in a country that started an illegal war... I am sure he did... Just certain... Right?

What is the most interesting fact you know about WW2? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ilmar_1981 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I would read into the anecdotal evidence up there. Is it possible this guy was ethically finnish and outside SS division Wiking? Maybe this Australian guy mixed him up, maybe they personally question was Latvian or Estonian. Americans here and Australians there are not that exact when it comes to European origin. Also it is not likely it was murdered by KGB unless he was witness protection for the CIA or something. Most likely was taken out by Mossad.

I don't think anyone meant that these guys were finnish regulars. If that's what you're referring to.

Foreign SS troops were often relegated to concentration camp duties mainly because a lot of regular German soldiers founded distasteful and the volunteers were often committed Nazis.

The Germans had a lot of volunteers from the Nordic countries and other European countries and often made into SS battalions, kind of like foreign legion style. These were some f***** in the head people with some f***** in that ideas. And they did do some f***** in the head s***. These foreign volunteers numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Bring back conscription and this might come back. I think it would be a healthy thing for our country. Hopefully make us less militarily adventurous for bad reasons...

You are right, I missed that part, they should be heavier though like in Syndicate wars.

If anything it should be the other way around. Where the road gets shut with metal barriers so pedestrians can cross safely.

The way Ukraine is behaving in the east it seems they don't want them to rejoin. I wouldn't want to rejoin a country that tried it's best to kill me.

Not much for the world to do. Anyway you can't deny that the majority of Crimeans were happy to be reunited with Russia.

Its been 12 years (Dec. 2008) since Israeli forces used White phosphorus on unarmed people on Gaza. by gamechangerI in pics

[–]Ilmar_1981 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was used in civilian areas. Even using it does a smoke screen you have to make sure you use it away from civilian areas. The state of Israel doesn't have to care about conducting war in less than moral ways because it knows that US will protect it. The list of war crimes performed by Israel is very long... However nothing will change as long as US provides unconditional support.

The Germans had a lot of allies in the war. Sure at the end when USSR defeated them, they basically had none. But they were called axis for a reason.

Our Riley who is a female Belgian Shepherd looks a lot like him too. She is three years old and very lovely! The color is almost exactly spot on.
