    I've been to the Alamo. It does not look anything like this painting. Texas actually belonged to the Mexicans; but the Gringos took it by force. After the Alamo, the Texas Rangers were formed to do ethnic cleansing of Mexicans and Comanches so the whites can have free land.

    We've had a number of protests here locally in Massachusetts mostly Ukranian-Americans who have friends and close family still living in Ukraine.

    There was a Republican politician in Ohio, a forever trumper, who was quoted as saying he doesn't care what happens in Ukraine.

    He has since reversed his position after he was told by a staff member there is large Ukranian-American community in Ohio and in his district.

    Such a shame I can't post the videos I took of the protest.
    I will look on Youtube.

    Between January and August 1945, Germany saw the largest incident of mass rape known in history, where an estimated two million German women were raped by the Soviet Red Army soldiers.

    It is really hard not to wish a whole flock of A-10's on their asses.

    Sadly with the Russians having air supremacy they're not going to be bombed. Some land mines on the road would really slow them down, but apparently none were placed.

    Was going to mention that, but decided for 'decorum' to prevail on this thread, and just left it as 'the German civilians'.

    Spot on .

    To start off with the Ukrainian air force was small to start off with having only a 100 fighters and then being of obsolete old Soviet design augmented by a questional number of unmanned Drones supplied by Turkey .

    Other evidence has shown the Russians have air supremacy with the 40 mile convoy being intact . Any knocked out vehicles would have shown up in the Satellite pictures .

    The use of paratroops by the Russians to assault a city . These would have to have been transported by vulnerable transport aircraft .

    Ukrainian SU27 . A good fighter in its hey day but its 80s technology

    Oh Breaking news since I posted that . A Ukrainian Mig29 has downed 2 Russian Aircraft ( type not specified ) Over the capital . Maybe the small numbers of Ukrainian aircraft are being held in reserve to defend the major cities . That does make sense if you only had small numbers to start with .
    This deserves another picture .
    A Ukrainian Mig 29 . Another product of the old Soviet Regime
