which decision making centers, the fake ones in ukraine or the real ones?
the only real one is in washington.
exactly. i imagine that the plans are all coming from the pentagon which is what makes it more ‘interesting’ because surely they will be looking to pull off a master plan. maybe it is zelensky making all the decisions, its certainly comedic so far.
if and when the conflict escalates, all those high-ranking butt-cheeks will be clenching in the pentagon, seeing as how they constitute a very high value “decision making centre”.
and if the russians chose to target them, there’s not a thing in the world the pentagon bumbandits could do to save themselves. aside from unconditional surrender.
i have just been laughing, listening to a female general of the us space force, stating that she promotes her officers based on their devotion to pride parades, rather than whether or not they are the best candidate for the job. no wonder the us have only one a small battle, against a tiny island, in the last century, despite being the instigator of constant battles.

i wonder what false flag they are trying to create, whilst defender 2023 is flying around russia? does anybody have any faith in germany organising the false flag? how many serving military personnel of nato members will be left, after the ukraine special military operation ends?
what has happened to south africa, are they exporting genocide. is ukraine genocide? is the genocide in the middle east almost complete? are weapons being depleted in future genocide nations followed by small arms confiscation? all hypothetical of course!
another zalushnyi nazi kurwa eliminated with his bufoon’s opera together.
ahahahaha…stupid moron…
western leaders are fake and installed like all the boytoy prime ministers, elections have predetermined outcomes to put godless mr global in power. i.q.s down globally by 50%! perverted billionaires formed an alliance to bring in deagel projection and death to mankind. again hypothetical of course. 👀
there is no decision-making center in kiev, and even in western europe. if the russians wanna strike a real decision-making center, they have to shell dc. would be a real mean to definitly solve the american problem and a real end to nwo that eveybody in the world sight to.
it was several miles north of kiev!
it can be done. half a dozen russian subs, each with two nuclear missiles, are off the eastern seaboard at all times.
those african leaders visiting kiev must be deaf; because they said they saw and heard no missiles hitting kiev! lol. too much ukro vodka or paid off by zelensky?
simples – perhaps its because no missiles hit kiev when they were there!
the problem with these people is they don’t speak english, which makes them all incredibly boring. who wants to watch a video of a bloke talking gibberish for 1.11 minutes?
good point.
to the extent that the videos constitute just another form of idle entertainment, perhaps subtitles would be appropriate.
otherwise, perhaps english-speaking people could expand their education and take the trouble to actually learn a second or third or fourth language like so many other people in the world.
the african delegates do speak english.
unfortunately africans are not operating at the same level as the west or russia or china or anywhere else. africa will never cut it with those folks , they don’t have the social order . africa will be conquered with disease, the masses killed so the rest of the world can get their resources. that would also be russia’s fate but they have the bomb and the brains so they are safe.
it’s not entertainment, it’s information. and it’s real life, with real consequences. maybe americans like you should learn another language instead of complaining that the entire world does not speak your mclanguage.
russia’s forces are suffering a shortage of tanks, the country’s defence minister has admitted.
remind me, which nation is begging for tanks? russia or ukraine? how many tanks does russia have, compared to all of nato combined?
hahahahahahahahahahaha
centre of the heaviest fighting has switched in the last week to the road to mariupol, on the southern coast of the donetsk oblast, where the ukrainian offensive is slowly pushing back russian forces. british challenger tanks were loaded and armed to join the battle.
it doesn’t matter where the ukros are decimated , at zaporoshye or at donetsk , so now they choose to die at donetsk. your claim however , they are pushing there something is a lie and fake. except for the spam the ukro trolls push here regularly at weekends. you are their best warriors like the most western war propaganda , on the front however a bunch of losers.
the same tanks that uk officials have begged ukraine not to use, as they don’t want the images of them burnt out in the fields?
slowly is the word alright. the russians are resting and drinking at the present letting the ukies tire themselves out. later they will obliterate them.
why is russia unable to produce enough tanks, weaponry and ammunition? oligarch corrupted russia is far from effective.
easy , because you are not able to ask the right questions
we killed a whole slew of ukropigs with that one!
the decision making center is not in ukraine.
la russia deve assolutamente bombardare il pentagono e la casa bianca ! solo cosi si potrà capire se gli usa e le sue colonie sottomesse della nato vogliono veramente fare una guerra contro la russia ! quel nazista usa di biden non avrà il coraggio di rispondere !
faggot fucking ruskie propaganda, ask me to send you guys telegram pages abiut thousands amd thousands of russians whom have all been liquidated in ukraine. these people wouldn’t know what a command post was if they were looking at it because they themselves can’t establish any. what a bunch of pathetic retards. orcs will all doe amd nato will soon be accepting the people rwpublic of belgorod into the organization soon after they’re done smashing russia iut of ukraine.
what telegram pages? fakes that the internet crews produce, like the one at wronki in polen while the fake “revolution” in belarus 2021?
dont worry lord kalki the god avatar of lord vishnu is with russia, no inferior semite god can stop that
the desperate hillbillies and others colonized by satan are becoming more deranged as russian victory now obvious…i refer sawyer jens woke polak to the taliban zelensky lgbt mental health clinic in omaha nebraska
it’d be more effective to hit decision making centres in washington, with the bonus the us population will then see how inept us mainland defences are, and that would hopefully lead to regime change.
nah, russia is too smart for that. letting the us and its vassals messing themselves up is more effective as their own people started revolting (mainstream media will not televise that painful truth).
