• Human Wave Attacks

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Wed Feb 15 22:05:33 2023
    Hello Everybody,

    Human wave attacks.
    What a novel idea.
    The Ayatollah Khomeini thought it would work.
    But we all know how that turned out.
    But hey.
    That did not faze Mad Vlad.
    He knows how to do things right.
    Which is why he hired The Wagner Group.
    And we all know how that is turning out.
    Mad Mullahs are still in Iran, 44 years
    after their revolution. I wonder how
    longer Mad Vlad will be around?
    Or Russia, for that matter, given the
    sheer number of Russians who have left?


    Putin's 'human wave' attacks kill Russians by thousands

    “Keep going until you’re killed.”

    That’s what Andrei Medvedev recalls being told by his commanders at
    the Wagner Group, a private Russian mercenary army that recruits people
    like him out of prison to wage the Kremlin’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

    Medvedev is unusual in that he not only lived to tell the tale but
    somehow escaped to Norway. Most others in his situation aren’t so
    lucky. As the war approaches its first anniversary, increasing numbers
    of Russians in Ukraine — both regular soldiers and Wagner mercenaries
    — are being treated by their superiors as “cannon fodder.” Barely
    trained and often badly armed, they’re ordered to throw themselves at
    the more hardened Ukrainian defenders, in a cynical tactic based on overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers.

    Another name for this approach is “human-wave attacks.” They’ve been a tragically recurring feature of modern warcraft; from the trenches of
    World War I to the Soviet onslaught against the Finns and Germans in
    World War II, from the Chinese assaults on South Korean and American
    troops in the Korean War to the Iranian charges against the Iraqis in
    the 1980s.

    From your point of view, is the Wagner Group worse than Russian army
    and why? Both are paid military?

    Doesn't really matter which is worse. As to the why, that is
    also easy to understand, even for the uninitiated.

    The idea of sending as many badly trained and badly armed men as
    possible at the other side is not a winning tactic. And yet, it is
    still done in today's modern world.

    So who is to blame? Those who give the orders, or those who
    follow the orders?

    For Life,
    Lee

    Many who follow the orders have elected the mass murderer who started the war. They voted for their own death.

    This is something Russian soldiers need to think about when they're shipped to the front...

    Fascists are those who tell other people how they must live, according
    their idee fixe, using violence as a tool. Exactly these people came to
    Kiev in 2014 and then from Kiev to Russian Donbass and started these
    hell of violence.

    The only thing why the West calls them "the fighters for democratic
    values" is their Hitler style hatred of Russia. That's why they
    desecrate the memorials of those who fought Hitler.

    Even totalitarian Putin or Wagers fighters don't use such methods.

    It was possible to stop USSR expansion to Europe, give people freedom, stop Cold war. But USSR decided to occupy them, started mass repressions and moved them into the delusional way of building communism (which now is a joke even in modern Russia).
    Now it's time to pay the price. Nothing comes for free(c). Do you know that? :)

    The will do anything to keep their power. It's well known how Russian stated payed to neo-nazis in Europe and invited them to Saint Petersburg.
    At the same time talking about danger of the Fascism.

    Fascism is different from your description.

    Exactly these people came to Kiev in 2014 and then from Kiev to Russian Donbass and started these hell of violence.

    Nobody went to Kiev in 2014. The people of Kiev wanted, and got change.

    values" is their Hitler style hatred of Russia. That's why they

    The people of Ukraine are indeed fighting for their freedom and democracy.

    They were attacked by a fascist government in Russia and seem to have the support of the Russian people, not entirely but a large number of Russian people seem to think that "Putin must be right to attack the people of Ukraine.

    These attacks continue even today, almost one year after the invasion began.

    Even totalitarian Putin or Wagers fighters don't use such methods.

    There is nothing for Russia to be proud of in any of this.

    Fascism is a form of government where a political group will rise to power through elections and then abolish elections as they are not needed anymore because the group in power has nothing but the best intentions, or so they claim.

    The biggest fascist countries at the moment are:

    * North Korea
    * The People's Republic of China
    * Russia

    Hey, all one way or the other tie in to communism ...

    It is not important in which way they come to power. The main feature, I repeat -- installing _forcefully_ their will on other people according
    to idee fixe, as a rule a nationalistic one. In this case they are
    called also Nazi-fascists.

    Ukrainian fascists dislodged a lawful President, they trampled the will
    of tens of millions of people, they tried to remake that people as if
    they obedient robots. They caused the split and violence, mainly because
    their main argument always was a brutal force, as they demonstrated it
    during Maidan events in 2014. They hate words "negotiation, compromise"
    in principal.

    Of course they think so. There is a simple test for true Russians -- if somebody desecrate the memory and memorials of the fallen Soviet army
    soldiers they must be called a fucking Nazi. No other propaganda from
    Putin's side is needed to persuade them in the opposite view, and make
    them to have a smallest sympathy for the Ukrainians (and other nations)
    who do such things.

    Common fallen Soviet soldiers who fought Hitler could be considered by

    for that victory the utmost price. The memorials are for them, (Soviet Ukrainians soldiers also among them), not for their ancestors.

    We've got a lot special governmental agencies for such matters. Most famous is Roskomnadzor which tells you what to read, watch, which sites you should avoid (I think more that 100 000 are blocked) and what to say.

    Hello Ward,

    Fascists are those who tell other people how they must live, according
    their idee fixe, using violence as a tool. Exactly these people came to
    Kiev in 2014 and then from Kiev to Russian Donbass and started these
    hell of violence.

    Fascism is a form of government where a political group will rise to power through elections and then abolish elections as they are not needed anymore
    because the group in power has nothing but the best intentions, or so they claim.

    Silly boys. You know nothing.

    When Huey Long was asked if fascism is coming to the United States,
    he replied, "Of course we'll have it. We'll have it under the guise
    of anti-fascism."

    That is what is happening in Russia - fascists call themselves
    anti-fascists. And that is also something that almost happened here,
    in the USA (during the years of FDR).

    Fascism in Italy grew out of Italian nationalism.
    We saw this with Benito Mussolini.
    Fascism in other lands for the same reason.

    According to Mussolini, who invented it, fascism is the merger
    of corporate and state powers. Using nationalism as the glue.

    In a nutshell, fascism is a nationalist, corporatist, third positionist ideology. Fascism grew out of Italian nationalism - as demonstrated
    by Benito Mussolini, who ruled Italy from 1922 until his party deposed

    of fascism are/were variants.

    The biggest fascist countries at the moment are:

    * North Korea
    * The People's Republic of China
    * Russia

    Hey, all one way or the other tie in to communism ...

    You left out Cuba. And a few others. Not that your list has anything

    The list of real fascist countries at the moment are -

    * Vatican City - Total top down control and exclusion of all outside
    oversight, over-sight, and laws. Review the definition of fascism and
    then apply to the church, see what you agree with.

    * Iran - A theocracy with false elections and Islamo-Fascism values.

    Hello Alexander,

    [..]

    This is how Russia is living at this moment.

    Nobody in Russia tells me how I must live. I have limited freedoms, it
    is true, but it is another matter. Don't mix fascism and totalitarism. Lukashenko is another good example. Whatever totalitarian he is he is
    not a fascist.

    Lukashenko lost his bid for another term, his own people rejecting
    him by a huge margin (over 80%). Mussolini was far smarter, and his
    black shirts made sure the trains always ran on time. Which is why
    he never lost an election of any kind.

    to Kiev in 2014 and then from Kiev to Russian Donbass and started
    these hell of violence.

    Violence started when Russia used it forces to take of Crimea. At
    Putin lied in front of the cameras "this is not our army". One lie
    makes many(c).

    Violence had been stops by Russia in Crimea, which certainly would have followed a Donbass scenario in other case. So your statement is a lie.

    <skipped>
    desecrate the memorials of those who fought Hitler.
    It was possible to stop USSR expansion to Europe, give people
    freedom, stop Cold war. But USSR decided to occupy them, started
    mass repressions and moved them into the delusional way of building
    communism (which now is a joke even in modern Russia). Now it's
    time to pay the price. Nothing comes for free(c). Do you know
    that? :)

    Common fallen Soviet soldiers who fought Hitler could be considered by enemy only by neo-Nazy -- no other variants can be. They died and gave
    for that victory the utmost price. The memorials are for them, (Soviet Ukrainians soldiers also among them), not for their ancestors.

    Soldiers fought for their homeland, their families, their loved ones. Regardless of how the felt personally about Josef Stalin.

    What this conflict in Ukraine is about is not defense of Russia,
    but rather a land grab by Putin and his cohorts. Same as the land
    grab by Hitler and his cohorts in regards to Russia and eastern
    Europe - plus a tad bit of western Europe.

    Even totalitarian Putin or Wagers fighters don't use such methods.

    The will do anything to keep their power. It's well known how
    Russian stated payed to neo-nazis in Europe and invited them to
    Saint Petersburg. At the same time talking about danger of the
    Fascism.

    I know that many people have different opinions who should be called a Nazi or a fascist. But in Russian there is no question about it.

    "Unchecked aggression is a threat to all of us. One year later, Kyiv
    stands and Ukraine stands. Democracy stands, Americans stand, and the
    world stands with you."
    ~ US President Joe Biden, in Kyiv, 2/20/2023

    When is the Russian president going to visit the Russian city of Kyiv?

    Oh, he is too busy tweaking his "special military operation".

    And besides, he has a speech to prepare, on the one year anniversary
    of his victory over the fucking Nazis ...

    Hello Alexander,

    Fascists are those who tell other people how they must live,
    according their idee fixe, using violence as a tool.

    Fascism is different from your description.

    Yes, the Korean leader also thinks so. ;)

    His sister is the real leader.
    And nobody wants to knows what she thinks.

    Exactly these people came to Kiev in 2014 and then from Kiev to
    Russian Donbass and started these hell of violence.

    Nobody went to Kiev in 2014. The people of Kiev wanted, and got
    change.

    You know little -- numerous groups of nationalistic militants (they form now Azov nationalistic units) had been carried in Kiev from western Ukraine. They were the main force of the coup.

    There was no coup. A new guy took office, with the people's blessing.

    The only thing why the West calls them "the fighters for
    democratic values" is their Hitler style hatred of Russia. That's
    why they desecrate the memorials of those who fought Hitler.

    The people of Ukraine are indeed fighting for their freedom and
    democracy.

    But they trampled those who were not agree with them. Democracy had been trampled in the most impudent and outrageous way.

    The Russian city of Kyiv is still waiting for the president of Russia.
    It is not waiting for the President of the United States.

    They were attacked by a fascist government in Russia and seem to
    have the support of the Russian people, not entirely but a large
    number of Russian people seem to think that "Putin must be right to
    attack the people of Ukraine.

    Of course they think so. There is a simple test for true Russians -- if somebody desecrate the memory and memorials of the fallen Soviet army soldiers they must be called a fucking Nazi.

    Face it. The grandfather could stand on the front lines and remain
    unharmed despite the best efforts of that "special military operation"
    Putin spoke so highly of.

    No other propaganda from Putin's side is needed to persuade them in the opposite view, and make them to have a smallest sympathy for the Ukrainians
    (and other nations) who do such things.

    So when is the Russian president going to visit the Russian city
    of Kyiv? Must ba a lot of fucking Nazis, too many to keep count.

    PS: Protasov is not a Russian. He has no nationality.

    Must be just another fucking Nazi.

    the opinions against the official doctrine are punishable. Don't

    I don't remember anything punished in Ukraine for saying "I am for peace". In Russia we've got a lot of such examples.
    Just try to go to the street with slogan "I am for peace" and you will end up in jail. And you know that.

    change.

    You know little -- numerous groups of nationalistic militants
    (they form now Azov nationalistic units) had been carried in Kiev

    Azov nationalistic units? That is just a lie.

    You believe only Ukrainian propaganda, I know. ;-)

    The real question is "What do the people want?" Clearly, the people
    were not happy with the current situation and wanted change. Which is
    what they got.

    Putin didn't like it, so he took Crimea and has vowed to continue
    his "special military operation" until all his objectives have been
    met.

    Which means he is forever stuck in quicksand and can never get out
    until he is completely sunk.

    But believing in black-and-white world is a sign of narrow-mindedness. Both
    sides have a lie and the truth in their disposal.

    A clockwork orange - as noted by Anthony Burgess.

    Barack Obama ran on a platform of "hope and change." He won in a
    landslide, serving two consecutive terms as POTUS. He would still
    be president today had he not been term limited. That is a truth
    his opponents might not like, but it is the clear and unvarnished
    truth.

    And when Russian media were totally banned from TV satellites it is profoundly bad.

    Most likely due to a lack of subscribers ...

    Unless you consider (as Borrel in EC)) that people in general are fools and
    cannot tell what is a lie and you should act as a doctor for their brains.

    "We are all fools, most of the time." ~Jean val-Jean, "Les Miserables"

    But no western TV will show hospitals, kindergartens and houses bombed by Ukrainians fighter for democracy.

    Yeah, right. US President Joe Biden was quaking in his boots as he
    visited Kyiv - a place Russian President Vladimir Putin could only
    dream of going to.

    The people of Ukraine are indeed fighting for their freedom and
    democracy.

    There is no such things in Ukraine after 2014, at least for eastern part and southern part of it. Nationalists had made democracy for themselves only.

    But they trampled those who were not agree with them. Democracy

    The state of Israel is a theocracy - for Jews only.
    The state of Iran is a theocracy - for Muslims only.
    The state of Russia is a theocracy - for Putinists only.

    They were attacked by a fascist government in Russia and seem to

    It is interesting that P doesn't mention the corruption and
    heavy-handedness of his own regime on Ru's people.

    Russia doesn't come into the thinking of western people as
    you seem to think.

    P's latest speech to the nation painted "the west" as a corrupt
    society. So.. that is what his people ARE thinking. That's the
    official message that they get.

    Has P been making more speeches? ;)

    I'll have to go look and see what he has to say.

    It is interesting that P doesn't mention the corruption and
    heavy-handedness of his own regime on Ru's people.

    It's hard to watch/believe.

    Hello alexander koryagin!

    It better to say this hate looks like a fear for a strong Russia.

    Define strong. Do you just think in terms of military power?

    What's so great about living in Russia?

    August,

    Free vacations for everyone ... just say the word ... even just a white sheet of paper is enough. Or say that you are against war. Transport, accomodation, clothing and food provided by the government at no extra cost..

    True, it's not really a war, it's a special military operation. Don't ask me what it is so special about it, I'm guessing the way it sucks?

    I thought this was all a response to Western aggression?
