Yup. They've already started trying to transform places by sticking up Soviet statues, signs, flags and so on. Trying to hide their war crimes from the people by clearing rubble etc, it's so obvious that it's ridiculous, nobody other than the blind sheep buy any of this.
Hopefully they don't do something extremely stupid, because Nato is ready for them, even Finland have been prepping.

Browsing MFC and i was treated to the rather surreal sight of "MilaVox" doing a show outside with Air Raid Sirens blaring in Odessa....

Amnesty International are now investigating in Bucha and they are collecting bullets from the dead bodies there.



The bullets found so far were manufactured in 2010 in Tula, a city in Russia, and are only used by elite Russian units.

It seems the Ukrainians are using an Uber-like app to call up Artillery Strikes on Russian Positions.

A Spotter uses the App to pinpoint the target and it then goes immediately to the nearest gun position who do the necessary, with a high success rate it seems.

Much more efficient than sending the position to HQ for approval and them sending the target back down the line to the Gunners as NATO would.

The Ukrainians are also using single gun emplacements rather than groups so the Russians can only hit one at a time, if they can actually find them.

^Would you say the Ukrainians are out - thinking Russia at the moment?

^ I think it's obvious that the Russian military are not trained very well, and the easily indoctrinated aren't very bright either, so yes!

I wonder if the Ukrainians are using drains as tunnels too??

Israel are rightly offended, let's hope Mossad don't feel like a Russia visit anytime soon, 'cos whoops. lol.

Re: the allegation that Hitler has some Jewish ancestry, though it might be a subject that occupies the minds of right wing conspiracists, it is nevertheless a subject of considerable debate amongst historians. For instance, the History channel did a piece on it:
“In the decades since Adolf Hitler’s death, the Nazi leader’s ancestry has been a subject of rampant speculation and intense controversy. Some have suggested that his father, Alois, born to an unwed woman named Maria Schickelgruber, was the illegitimate child of Leopold Frankenberger, a young Jewish man whose family employed her as a maid. (She subsequently married Johann Georg Hiedler–later spelled “Hitler”–whose surname her son adopted.)
In 2019 the Jerusalem Post reported of new research on the issue:

[A] study by psychologist and physician Leonard Sax has shed new light supporting the claim that Hitler’s father’s father had Jewish roots.
The study, titled “Aus den Gemeinden von Burgenland: Revisiting the question of Adolf Hitler’s paternal grandfather,” which was published in the current issue of the Journal of European Studies, examines claims by Hitler’s lawyer Hans Frank, who allegedly discovered the truth.

Hitler asked Frank to look into the claim in 1930, after his nephew William Patrick Hitler threatened to expose that the leader’s grandfather was Jewish.

In his 1946 memoir, which was published seven years after he was executed during the Nuremberg trials, “Frank claimed to have uncovered evidence in 1930 that Hitler’s paternal grandfather was a Jewish man living in Graz, Austria, in the household where Hitler’s grandmother was employed,” and it was in 1836 that Hitler’s grandmother Maria Anna Schicklgruber became pregnant, Sax explained.
...
Sax writes in the study that according to the letters in Frank’s memoir, “Frankenberger Sr. sent money for the support of the child from infancy until its 14th birthday.”

“The motivation for the payment, according to Frank, was not charity but primarily a concern about the authorities becoming involved: ‘The Jew paid without a court order, because he was concerned about the result of a court hearing and the connected publicity,’” the letters state.”

It seems to me that Lavrov has that one right. It really seems that Adolf Hitler had some Jewish ancestors who even paid for the upbringing of his father.
