  • IIRC they need to fly the cold war jets like this - below radar - as their electronic capabilities are too bad, so a more modern russian jet could launch a missile at them just before the old Ukrainian jet sees a threat.

    That is one of the reasons Ukraine urgently needs more modern material like enough numbers of F-16. While also being not the most modern jets those at least have some decent radar capabilities and can also be used as interceptors for air defense.














  • “They are all Nazis over there” is something you try to put into my mouth.

    I said it is the same situation in Russia where people do not speak up against what their country does. I also understand if they fear repercussions.

    But this woman, who said she was in Brazil before, just whines around, “Russia is strong” and obviously is very OK with what happens or chooses to ignore it. She has been out of Russia for some time, she has seen other. media.

    What I said - the same what happened in Germany is happening in Russia right now. People CHOOSING not to see and not to, speak about it.

    I never said anything about “all” Russians.

    Don’t try to put words in my mouth.

    What I expect - yes demand - from someone like this woman is acknowledging what happens.


  • All those Hitler comparisons hit very close, as I’m German, born long after the war. It was. my grandparent generation that allowed things to happen.

    I have utmost respect for people who speak out against atrocities their country does, but in sucj a case - Hitler or Putin - being silent is agreeing.

    The woman in this video just whines how everyone treats her badly. If she had said one time, she understands because of what her country does - and then say, how it makes her life bad, I could somehow sympathize. This way - I can not.

    I have a Russian coworker who started business meetings with a minute of silence for the Ukrainian victims during the full invasion. That is something I can respect.

    I never got any details, but I have reason to believe my own grandfather arranged himself with the Nazis, some say he was a party member. Others say, he and my grandma hid someone from them. Nevertheless he managed to own a soft drink factory (and quickly got a Coca Cola contract after the war)

    I’m fucking fed up with people who arrange themselves with dictators and are just opportunists. As this woman obviously is.
