The Forgotten Story of the American Troops Who Got Caught Up in the Russian Civil War | History| Smithsonian Magazine

Soviets held U.S. POWs, Yeltsin says Some were killed after war, some stayed, he says

I was wondering when Operation Polar Bear would come up. But that was still us getting involved into Russian affairs rather than them wronging us first.

We were there securing war supplies given to the Russian Army to fight WWI. When the Reds pulled out of the war we had every right to secure those arms and supplies to prevent the Reds from shipping them to the Germans.

We were there until May 1919. We signed an armistice with Germany in November 1918. We were fighting with/for the Whites because they were anti German. We werent there to take back our supplies, we were there to keep another front open on the Germans.

We pulled out once the Whites collapsed, i dont know of us pulling out any equipment.

Patients. Don’t. Dictate to doctors, nurses or hospitals what they are to do. You can’t tell businesses how to operate based on some uneducated nut job conspiracy theory junk. And the fact you think that’s ok says more about you McVeigh

No, the fact that you would defend "policy" or bad law as a defense for not treating patients that are already written off as dead anyways shows your complete ignorance. I guess you were defending those Uvalde cops for not entering because of policy/procedure also...

I know you cops don't like to hear this, but every now and then, rules have to be broken in extreme circumstances. Allowing people to die just to maintain compliance to a rule is silly/evil.

So is the UK defense minister a liar? Is this fake news?

UK weapons stockpile drained by Ukraine deliveries

It could take years for the UK to replace weapons that it has funneled to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, the chief of the defense staff, Admiral Tony Radakin, has admitted. He made the remarks on Wednesday as he spoke before a parliamentary committee.

Replacing even less sophisticated weapons sent to Ukraine could take “several years” due to constraints on the UK’s industrial capacity. The “rate of expenditure” of weapons by the Ukrainian military and Britain’s capability to “backfill” them has already become “a significant issue,” Radakin said.

Again just because some yokel wants to inject bleach or did acupuncture to cure cancer or smoke peyote doesn’t mean a doctor or hospital should be forced to allow them too because they may die. Ignorant and uneducated patients and their families should never tell a business what they should do. You are wrong and no one agrees with your insanity.

Getting the stockpiles back to 100% is always going to take time. That doesnt mean they have compromised their actual fighting ability.

You know, you people need to stop gloating about a timeline and need to be looking at the end results of all of this. No matter how long it takes, it still is a terrible look for the Western powers. Alll of these promises and assurances given to Ukraine that The West was going to support them, and in the end, you all only used the Ukrainians as cannon fodder in your proxy war.

If you are a Ukrainian (or Taiwanese), how much faith do you have in Western assurances at this point?

No promise or assurance was given by the US or the West to put boots on the ground. From the get go we said we would not in fact. The only thing we promised were sanctions against Russia which we have followed through with. The west is also under no formal obligation to send weapons but we are and will do so as long as Ukraine is willing to fight. That cannon fodder you speak of are patriots fighting for their country.

 

[DonjoVol]

Russia is winning. And they plan on rebuilding in the Donbas (Build Back Better). LOL at reparations going to these western jackals. That would be one of the biggest money washing schemes in existence if that were to ever come up. Not a single dime would go to the Ukrainian people... and even you Ukrainiacs know that.

At this point they don't care where the money goes. Just something for them to virtual signal about. Same talking points from these Ukrainian bots every single day.

Love this newly designed boomerang missile the Russians have.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

It appears the russians took Severodonetsk with a few thousand soldiers. In order to do so they had to leave Kherson.

Here you go... you always have to go to a wild extreme to try to make a point. We are talking about Ivermectin and hospitals not treating the unvaccinated. You are a clown.

Hospitals don’t have to try every cock and bull thing that these morons want. Do you not understand that? You can’t tell a doctor or nurse or hospital how to operate. Especially from an uneducated position like yours

The patients are literally dying. The medical staff had given up on them or exhausted all conventional treatments. Why is it so hard for you to understand that in an exceptional situation like that, the rules should be broken?

Also, WTF does that have to do with hospitals also refusing care to the unvaccinated?

Transplant refusals have always existed even prior to Covid. So what if they were dying? Nothing was going to save them at that point, and no hospital or doctor should be forced to do what some uneducated hick wants to try because “their aunt read it on Facebook”. Go talk to an actual doctor instead of threatening to kill one and you might learn something. Businesses including hospitals can do what they want to. You don’t like it? Go somewhere else

 

[tvolsfan]

The end result is Russia will gain less territory than NATO and the EU and will firmly demonstrate it is nothing more than a failing regional power. Even Lithuania is laughing at you, and you deserve it.

We had several situations where the patients' families had to go to court to remove them from a hospital. So there are even hurdles with that.

And again, you go to extremes to try to make your weak point. I'm not talking about bringing in witch doctors or peyote. I'm talking about Ivermectin. Stop being dishonest.

There’s probably going to be an increased NATO presence in the Baltics as well.

And again. Doctors and hospitals can run their businesses the way they want. You don’t like it but this isn’t Soviet russia where autocratic strongmen dictate to others what they do with their businesses and then execute those who don’t comply

I'm not even sure what you are talking about. You call adding Sweden and Finland into NATO a win? Adding Ukraine (whatever is left of it) and Moldova a benefit to an already dying EU a win? What do any of those countries add to the EU or NATO?

You are right. This is the United States where we allow hospital procedures, lawyers and Big Pharma trap patients on a particular treatment and won't allow for alternative treatments when it is obvious the present course is not working. And, they can refuse treatment based on vaccination status.

 

[tvolsfan]

Yes

Adding Ukraine (whatever is left of it) and Moldova a benefit to an already dying EU a win?

Yes

What do any of those countries add to the EU or NATO?

Both Finland and Sweden make NATO stronger, especially on the northern flank.

Adding Moldova and Ukraine to the EU will be significant in terms of giving both countries a future. Something they have been denied by Russia for so long.

I trust I don’t need to explain why both these changes will be losses for Russia as your boy keeps whining about it.

How does adding Moldova and a partitioned Ukraine help the EU? What goods or resources will they offer? How will Sweden and Finland help NATO? Neither have a significant troop count and they don't add anything in terms of equipment.

You understand that Russia will win. right?

LOL.

Good luck with long term occupation. It's like they're playing Risk and leaving one army on each captured territory with a "what could go wrong?" attitude.

I hear Russia is letting old folks and criminals in to the Army now with promises of paying off debt as enticement, training now is a week long.

This should work out well for Russia.
