Sometimes one can't help but wonder what motivates his brain cell.

Of course Nutty as that would appropriately make them a bunch of total saluters.

Russia is also worried that the leaked documents if genuine and not a ruse contains detailed information on the Russians that the US shouldn’t know.

U.S. Intelligence recent discovered that Egyptian President El-Sisi had the “Top Secret” Production of up to 40,000 Rockets ordered in February on behalf of the Russia Military for use during their War in Ukraine.

​​​​​​​This would be a “Major Shift” by Egypt who is seen as one of the United States closest Allies in the Middle East/Northern Africa and has received Significant Military Sales from the U.S. included $2.2 Billion in C-130 Transport Aircraft and Air Defense Radars in January of 2022.….

Denmark to start sending Ukraine Leopard 1 tanks before summer – minister

Ukraine will start receiving Denmark’s Leopard 1 tanks before summer, up to 100 can be sent in total, Denmark’s Acting Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said at a briefing with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov in Odesa on 10 April, Ukrinform reports.

“We will start delivering Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine before summer. And then, hopefully, looking half a year ahead, it will be possible for us to donate about 100 Leopard 1 tanks, and that, I’ll say, would be a substantial thing for Ukraine’s army,”Poulsen said.

Also, the Ukrainian troops are now trained in Denmark to operate the French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzers, which Ukraine might receive next month, according to him.

The Kampfpanzer Leopard 1 first entered service in 1960s. Denmark has Leopard 1A5 tanks, an upgraded version from the 1980s, having an updated fire control system and night vision.

British troops and watching the film, Ukrainian trainees form a guard of honour for those who have completed their training and are departing the U.K. back to Ukraine and the frontline…. Dust in the eye moment, one hopes they all finally go home safely.

Charles Clover, in his book 'Black Wind, White Snow' points out that it's the duty of every patriotic Russian to accept without question the BS that comes out of the Kremlin's various propaganda outlets. In fact, the more absurd the better - then the greater the patriotic duty done.

Reference the previous video - a comment from one noted Ukrainian correspondent.

Some ask to translate comments of Russians under the brutal beheading video that surfaced today. But what's the point? We've been seeing their reactions to similar events for over a year now, they're always the same. A few people will say it is terrible, the majority will quietly approve of it, and those who are vocal will be saying it's fake/they deserve it.

If someone is still not aware, Russia is a savage state with lots of ****** in the head nazi people and their quiet supporters. Only a small fraction are genuinely adequate.

This country promotes criminals to kill foreign people and sets barrier troops so the convicts couldn't retreat. It shells indiscriminately, poisons and murders internally and abroad. Even its street culture is absolutely ****** up if you take off the rose-tinted glasses of a tourist.

​​​​​​​ None of this is new to those who are familiar with this country.

If Russia was strong enough and Ukraine was too weak, this would have been happening anywhere else.

The only question is, how many videos like these need to surface for Ukraine to be provided EVERYTHING it needs to stop this antichrist.

An orc, in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth fantasy fiction, is one of a race of humanoid monsters.

No doubt there are those who would aver, correctly, that not all Russians are Orcs.

Orcs exist in any context, in any country, but only a very few countries do not seek to destroy or punish or neutralise their malign behaviour.

Russia is one such country and history tells us that this is nothing new.

AntiChrist indeed.
