tell me what you saw there please!

At last it was like every great army museum, but of course in this case with a strong focus on the 2nd world war and a lot of soviet flags and propaganda pictures and posters. By that time it was a little bit more old, not so fresh and clean like on the pictures of today. Which I have out of the internet. My own pictures were not digital of course by that time. I also was at the today monument of a tank barrier. It is the place were the german army was stoped in ww2 before Moscow. Today there is a very large IKEA and it´s on the way from the airport to the city. Fresh married couples make pictures there, to honour the fallen from ww2. I had a lot of sympathy for russia, not for the communists but for the people and the beautifull country, until 2014. I also bought a tape from the band Lube, which I later often burned for russian or german-russian colleauge on CD as a gift.

This is from a wsj interview with the dude who surrended to a drone a while back near Bakhmut.


"All this time, the Ukrainians piloting the drones were watching everything the terrified Russians were doing. Anitin moved to another position. Ivanov pulled the pin from a hand grenade and detonated it next to his head. The third man in their group was seriously wounded. He later shot himself with his own rifle, the Ukrainians said.

Anitin was on his own. Drone and mortar attacks continued all afternoon. By around 5 p.m., he had no energy left. “I thought I would end up staying in that trench forever,” he said.

Then he got an idea: Surrender to the drone."

that is probably this guy.

I was holding down the Midwest in the US.

Nothing happened...

But pot prices were fucking golden...

I don´t mean it bad, but sometimes I´ve got a little pity for the americans. A huge and wonderfull country but in europe is so much to see. Different cultures and so many different citys. In my case, in 2 hours with a car, I am in the Netherlands, nothing is really far away.

yes, Europe has a rich cultural history compared to the US. we have been a country for a short period of time compared to the European countries.

my wife is a professional photographer specializing in architecture. we want to spend a month traveling around Europe so she can photograph famous buildings.

both Australia and Japan are enlarging and updating their militaries. they are buying f-35s. japan just ordered 105 of them and is building a small fleet of half-size aircraft carriers to take advantage of the f-35s' vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

i don't know yet how many the Aussies are getting but they have just announced they are giving 40 f-18s to Ukraine.

the part about the Russian troops being exposed to himars by their own commander is also verified in the Russian media.

they are calling for the execution of the commander.

in the last two weeks the Ukrainians have taken back more territory than the Russians have taken in the last year.

I only spent a day in Moscow so I didn't go there, but I did visit the Kalashnikov museum in Izhevsk in Udmurtia. Have a trad Udmurt song performed by Aikai.

Also very interesting the kalashnikov museum!

They had a lot of different kinds of small arms weapons on display produced there since early 1800's. Interesting. Not something I would travel for, but if one finds themselves in Izhevsk...

The 2024 Olympics in Russia: A challenge for the IOC and panic in the West​

by Avia.pro

Russia's decision to host its Olympics in 2024 is causing concern in the West, leading to aggressiveness from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In response to the enslaving terms and double standards, Russia decided to give the IOC a nasty surprise.

An alternative to the classic Olympics​

As IOC officials and Western leaders debate whether to admit Russian and Belarusian athletes to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Russia is tired of the conditions imposed on it.

It therefore decided to organize a large-scale competition to offer an alternative to the traditional Olympic Games organized under the aegis of the IOC.

BRICS “Friendship Games” and Sports Games​

Russia plans to host the 2024 BRICS sports games in Kazan, which will coincide with the organization's summit. In addition, Kazan will also host an event called "Friendship Games", to which athletes from all over the world who have been denied access to the Olympics for various reasons, including political ones, will be invited. These competitions are scheduled at a different period so as not to encroach on the period of the official IOC games.

The reaction of the IOC and the West​

Russia's move is stirring negative emotions within the IOC and Western policymakers. The IOC's various demands and double standard policy damage its credibility. Attempts at dialogue with an organization that acts only from a position of strength no longer interest Russia.

Francesco Bitti, honorary president of the International Tennis Federation and head of the Paris 2024 organizing committee, criticized the idea of hosting the Friendship Games and said that Russia should not overstep the limits of the movement Olympic. Francesco Bitti forgets, however, that the IOC officials themselves have long since exceeded these limits.

According to Olympic news site Inside the Games, the IOC leadership is in the throes of panic. They are unhappy with Russia's plans to hold "mutinous competitions" and bring in athletes from China.

Russia is a force not to be played with​

Russia's decision once again demonstrates to the world that it is not only futile, but also dangerous to speak to it from a position of strength. If the Friendship Games are a success, many athletes may choose to compete in Russia, weary of the IOC environment steeped in corruption and politics.

Dissemination of similar initiatives​

Russian leaders should adopt such initiatives and extend them to all areas of activity where there is manipulation by Western “specialists”. This would protect national interests and underline independence from pressures from Western organizations.
