American propaganda as it is. No one wonders why the cities of Kherson, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Energodar, Dneprorudne were not destroyed, but Mariupol was. The answer is simple: Because the Ukrainian military used their own citizens as human shields and fought inside civilian buildings (firing near a house and retreating, and the blow back flew into the house), when Russia asked them to fight in the open field, not to cover themselves with their citizens. There are a tons of interviews by Patrick Lancaster and Graham Phillips with residents of Mariupol. They all tell us that Ukrainian troops are to blame for their deaths. But American propaganda doesn't care about facts. They justify their invasion of Syria but blame Russia for Ukraine's crimes.

The Tsar bomba exploded about 4 km above the ground and reportedly produced a mushroom cloud 60 km high However, the Soviet Union developed three AN602 physics packages at 101.5 megatons (Mt) and these are more powerful than the Tsar Bomba, which was downscaled to 51 Mt before being used RDS-220 Vanya. it was modified to yield 50 megatons, which was estimated to be about 3,800 times the strength of the U.S. bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II The declassified study from the scientists at the Los Alamos laboratory, published in 1947 had first shed light on the question that how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy the world.

the AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE BLACKMAILED INTO FUNDING THE GENOCIDE. The CIVIL WAR in Ukraine was triggered by the cunning strategy of NATO and United States intelligence to create neo-nazi gangs under the guise of nationalism. The people of western Ukraine have the potential for Nazi fascist ideology which was then used by US and NATO politicians to spark the Maidan riots in mid-2014. You can see the history of neo nazi seeds in western Ukraine in various sources. The people of eastern Ukraine and its surroundings are generally Russian speakers or you can say ethnic Russian. Most of the people of western Ukraine are remnants of Nazi Germany and its sympathizers who ruled Ukraine during World War II. If you try to understand the neo nazi seeds that I mean, we can see it from the various empirical data available. And you can also see from the data compiled by OLIVER STONE (US) in the documentary entitled "UKRAINE ON FIRE" (youtube). The sequence of events that took place before the Russian Federation provided protection assistance to the people of eastern Ukraine were: the Maidan incident, a demonstration of moral flaws engineered by US and NATO intelligence. After the Maidan incident, the first stage of the Genocide took place against Russian speakers with political motives. In order to reduce the genocide carried out by the neo nazi gangs of western Ukraine against the people of eastern Ukraine who are Russian speakers, in 2014 the people of Donets, Luhanks, Mariupol, Crimea, Odessa, and people in several other cities then conducted a REFERENDUM with 98% results. The people of eastern Ukraine voted for AUTONOMY / INDEPENDENT and asked the Russian Federation for protection. Crimea is an area that at the beginning of the formation of the Ukrainian state was a grant, then in 2014 the Russian Federation took back Crimea. Meanwhile, Donets, Luhanks, Mariupol and several other areas still have to fight on their own from GENOCIDE for 8 years. At least 15000 more people of eastern Ukraine who have been killed by neo-nazi gangs who merged into one with the western Ukrainian army. After a period of 8 years, the Russian Federation can only seek peaceful diplomacy, and a persuasive approach to stop the genocide by the Ukrainian neo nazi gangs. It didn't even stop the western Ukrainian government from committing genocide. And it was only in February 2022 that the Russian Federation decided to provide assistance in the form of a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize western Ukraine. I suggest we study this conflict also from the reportage of independent journalists such as PATRICK LANCASTER (US) on the KZbin channel. Or.... Eva K Bartlett (Canada), Graham Phillips (UK), VN Rangeloni (Italy), Ruben Gisbert (Spain), John Mark Dougan (US) Their reprotase is on their respective youtube channels And.... Cristelle (FRANCE) On youtube channel : Donbass Insiders .................. and many independent journalists from various countries... Please review it for yourself after seeing the various data submitted by the independent journalist since 8 years ago. May the civilians of western Ukraine and from the east soon find peace. And rotten politicians and fascist mobs must be eradicated for a better future for Ukraine There are also at least two documentaries that many people from various countries need to know, because this documentary is also a piece of data that complements the reportage of Patrick Lancaster and other independent journalists Mark Bartalmai (German) Title : UKRIANE AGONY Made in 2014 Oliver Stone (US) Title : UKRAINE ON FIRE Made in 2015 And I really appreciate LIVRE NOIR (FRANCE) journalistic work. And I also advise all of us to look intellectually at the work ANNE LAURE BONNEL.

Why 18,000 plus a day are crossing the borders and more now since the lift. 6000 of them OTMs from Iran and Afghanistan, other Taliban, terrorist infested nation. Sleeper cells. Why Bidens election was a fraud and dictated by Russian hacking because they knew Bidens hidden agenda, to destroy America from within. America will implode and then be destroyed.

Maybe they talked with Navalny and he gave them suggestions, he did survive Poo’s attempted murder (underwear poisoned with Novichock). During a session of his faux trial, Navalny took the opportunity to speak against the attack on Ukraine; later on Twitter he called for a massive ad campaign to spread the truth to the Russian people via other social media platforms. Thousands of Russians protested his arrest in 2021 and Navalny has always believed in the Russian people; Poo doesn’t believe in the Russian people and only tries to control them. This hack tells me the Russian people still have power, there is hope that they will see Poo for what he is and remove him. Slava Ukraine!! Bravo and Brava Polyakov Egor and Alexandra Miroshnikova!!

American propaganda as it is. No one wonders why the cities of Kherson, Melitopol, Berdyansk, Energodar, Dneprorudne were not destroyed, but Mariupol was. The answer is simple: Because the Ukrainian military used their own citizens as human shields and fought inside civilian buildings (firing near a house and retreating, and the blow back flew into the house), when Russia asked them to fight in the open field, not to cover themselves with their citizens. There are a tons of interviews by Patrick Lancaster and Graham Phillips with residents of Mariupol. They all tell us that Ukrainian troops are to blame for their deaths. But American propaganda doesn't care about facts. They justify their invasion of Syria but blame Russia for Ukraine's crimes.

I do not think it will matter. First of all, they are leaving off the detail of how long it was up, but I'm thinking it was only for a few seconds. So ask yourself this. Imagine if MSNBC was hacked and for exactly 30 seconds, their website and the cable description of show programming was covered by messages saying that the American media is lying to you and that Ukraine has been bombing one of their own cities for years and is led by nazis and that the heroic Russians came in to rescue the good guys from the villains and that the Russians absolutely never attacked any civilians and that this was all the bad old nazis in Ukraine that had done this. Would you actually start believing it then? Would you even know about it, if it was only up for 30 seconds, and all the news outlets said nothing about it afterwards and there was no indication such a thing happened? Imagine how little that would change about your beliefs about the war if it happened. Now you know how little the Russians will be swayed. They're not going to just start believing the opposite of what they've been told all this time, they're just going to consider it an attack of lies and propaganda from Russia's enemies.
