Quotes from Trump’s Truths: Stollen & Fools and Cowards

I got to thinking that many of Trumps misspellings and statement relate to foreign languages, quotes, book titles, philsophy, history, etc. and I found this. I may be onto something. Thoughts anons? Remember Trump is part German (PS i have believed for a long time Trump understands and possibly speaks 5-6+ languages. He acts dumb because he doesn’t want people to know what he knows (similar to some of answers on Tucker tomight) and he knows translations may be misrepresented or if meeting with foreigners he can understand what they are whispering or saying.

The Thucydides quote above is often heard at the Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCSC), presumably as an encouragement for students to become warrior-scholars rather than remaining ‘fools’ who outsource their thinking to ‘cowards’. Having spent the past two years as a member of the military Directing Staff (DS) (or fool) working with members of the KCL Defence Studies Department (DSD) I wanted to reflect on that experience and the roles of DS and DSD. What does each contribute to military learning and could the way we work together be improved to deliver more effective military learning? These reflections derive from my experience on the staff of the Intermediate Faculty which prepares officers for command and staff appointments at SO2 (Lt Cdr, Maj, Sqn Ldr) level. I will leave it to others more qualified to judge how generalisable they are to the advanced and higher courses.

I read that NAC and Ginko Biloba helps with tinnitus. I got a small constant buzzing in my left ear about two weeks ago, so started taking both and its working. I can’t miss taking it though.

It seems to help. Check it out with other herbs, i hope it helps, its annoying on a low level, I can’t imagine if its more intense.

Also chiropractic adjustments seem to help if the neck is out of alignment

Prigozhin plane crash: What we know so far

The Wagner Group chief was traveling on board a private jet that crashed in Russia with no survivors

Prigozhin plane crash: What we know so far

Russian authorities have confirmed that a private jet with Wagner Group founder Evgeny Prigozhin listed as a passenger crashed between Moscow and St. Petersburg on Wednesday, killing all on board.

What details have been confirmed?

The Russian Emergencies Ministry confirmed that the jet plunged to the ground in Tver Region, and that all three crew and seven passengers on board were killed. The ministry said that the jet, an Embraer 135BJ Legacy 600, was traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg at the time of the incident.

Rosaviatsiya, the Russian federal air transport agency, said that Prighozhin was on board, along with several high-ranking Wagner commanders.

Was the crash caught on camera?

Several short clips of the crash have circulated on social media. Videos published by the Mash and Baza Telegram channels appear to show the jet plummeting toward the ground in a seemingly uncontrolled spin, leaving behind a trail of black smoke. It is unclear from the clips which part of the aircraft had caught fire.

Other clips purportedly shot at the crash site show flaming wreckage strewn across a grassy clearing.

Is Prigozhin definitely dead?

Although Rosaviatsiya said that Prigozhin’s name was on board, it did not explicitly pronounce the Wagner chief dead. As of late Wednesday evening, Russian officials said that they had recovered eight bodies, though none had been named by that time. All were described as badly burned.

Some Russian outlets identified the plane’s tail number as RA-02795, which is believed to belong to Prigozhin. According to flight-tracking site FlightRadar24, a second plane linked to Prigozhin with the tail number RA-02878 departed Moscow shortly after the first, but returned to land after news of the crash broke. None of these reports have been officially confirmed.

Who else was on board?

In addition to Prigozhin, Rosaviatsiya said Dmitry Utkin – a former Russian special forces operator and alleged co-founder of the PMC – was also traveling on the jet, as was Valery Chekalov, whom the US considers to be the deputy head of Wagner. The remaining passengers listed were Sergey Propustin, Evgeny Makaryan, Alexander Totmin, and Nikolay Matuseev, identified by Russian news outlets as Wagner

Who is Evgeny Prigozhin?

A successful businessman in the catering industry and a confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin founded the Wagner Group, a private military company (PMC), in 2014. Although the Wagner Group was founded in 2014 and took part in hostilities in the formerly Ukrainian Donbass region, Prigozhin refused to confirm his role in the company until last year.

Wagner troops have operated in multiple African countries and in Syria, where they reportedly clashed with US forces in 2018.

With his troops fighting in the months-long battle for the city of Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine), Prigozhin made regular statements to the media and publicly feuded with the Russian Defense Ministry earlier this year, accusing top officials of mismanaging the conflict and denying him adequate ammunition.

How did Wagner’s mutiny play out?

Prigozhin claimed in June that Russian forces shelled a Wagner field camp, where the PMC’s troops had been resting and rearming following the capture of Artyomovsk the previous month. The Wagner founder then announced that he would lead his forces in a march on Moscow to remove allegedly corrupt military officials.

Putin described the mutiny as a “stab in the back” and promised “decisive actions” to restore order. However, less than a day after it began, the rebellion was defused thanks to mediation by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Prigozhin agreed that the men who took part in the mutiny would be redeployed to Belarus, while those who refused would be incorporated into units under the control of the Russian Defense Ministry. (Putin has never named Prighoshyn personally of starting the coup, the Russian media names him)

After two months of silence, Prigozhin released a video – apparently filmed in Africa – on Monday. In the clip, he said that the Wagner Group had reopened recruitment, and was conducting “reconnaissance and search activities” against “ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and other bandits” across the continent.

For some reasonI really doubt Prigozhn is dead. Its just seems like a massive psyop.I don’t know but it makes no sense to me. He has lead and lived through brutal wars and many assassination attempts.

>>19414389

I wonder if the real coup leaders were on board of the plane. Maybe the insurrection was staged to expose the traitors in Wagner, mainly some leaders. RT did a glowing article on Prighozhin a couple of days ago. This guy outlived the most brutal wars and armies since 2014and he and his team are not smart enough to double and triple check the plane?

This whole thing seems like a psyop, like the insurrection

Russian transgender activist threatens Ukraine with revenge

If drone attacks continue “I’ll grab a gun and go to the front,” Hilmi Forks has said

Russian transgender activist threatens Ukraine with revenge

The controversial Russian transgender blogger Hilmi Forks announced on Wednesday that he will enlist in the military if Ukraine continues to attack Moscow with drones.

“Ukraine is going crazy. Drones at 3 am, have you lost your mind?” Hilmi said in a diatribe on social media. “You launch drones when people are sleeping. I got scared, jumped up from the couch from this explosion. Are you insane?”

“If one more drone explodes somewhere here in Moscow – blame yourself. I’ll take an automatic [rifle] and go to the front, understand?” Forks added.

Ukraine began targeting the Moscow City business district at the end of July, as its much-heralded offensive on the battlefield bogged down with heavy casualties. The most recent attack took place in the early hours of Wednesday, doing minor property damage to a high-rise under construction, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. No injuries were reported.

The Kremlin has described the attacks as “terrorist strikes” and “acts of desperation” as the Ukrainian offensive in Zaporozhye and southern Donbass failed to achieve success.

The nuisance strikes do pose an inconvenience to Moscow residents, however, forcing a ground stop at all three of the Russian capital’s airports, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, and Vnukovo.

Hilmi Forks is the artistic name adopted by the transgender activist. The controversial social media influencer ran afoul of Russia’s ban on “LGBT propaganda” earlier this year and evaded administrative proceedings by fleeing the country. After returning to Moscow in July, Hilmi was arrested on charges of producing and distributing illegal pornography, but released on recognizance.

The release terms means Hilmi cannot leave Moscow, which the blogger mentioned in the social media rant to some 400,000 Instagram followers.

‘Powerful’ Ukrainian brigade loses US-made demining vehicles – Forbes

The vehicles’ Stryker-type armor may not be suitable in a combat environment, the outlet’s report suggests

A Ukrainian brigade, which Forbes magazine had described as Kiev’s “most powerful unit” at the front lines, has lost 10% of its valuable mine-clearing vehicles just a week since joining the push against Russian defense lines, the outlet has reported.

The 2,000-soldier 82nd Air Assault Brigade, which is armed with four British-made Challenger 2 tanks, 40 German-made tracked Marder infantry fighting vehicles and 90 wheeled Stryker infantry fighting vehicles, had been kept in reserve until last week. It has since “written off” at least two of its 20 or so M1132 Engineer Squad Vehicles, Forbes reported on Tuesday.

The M1132 is a variant of the Stryker vehicle, which is equipped with mine rollers and is meant to clear a path through a minefield for advancing forces. The loss was hardly surprising, the report suggested, considering the role of the armor and its relatively weak protection.

Normally, minefield-breaching vehicles have the chassis of a tank. The M1132, though better suited for transportation by air, is vulnerable to enemy fire and should ideally be used in surprise assaults where there is little resistance, Forbes writer David Axe explained.

The report is based on images of the destroyed vehicles circulating online. The publication noted that it was unclear how exactly they were neutralized or whether their crews had survived. The “good news,” Axe noted, is that the US Army “has hundreds more Strykers in storage” and can supply more to Ukraine.

The 82nd was deployed to the front line in the contested Zaporozhye Region and is involved in Ukraine’s push towards the village of Rabotino, which lately has seen some intensive fighting.

Kiev has rebuked media coverage of the maneuver. Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar declared on Monday that “the price of the headlines” of such published articles was “five airstrikes a day” targeting the brigade. She also threatened criminal prosecution for disclosing information about movements of Ukrainian troops.

Evgeny Balitsky, the Russian official who is serving as acting head of the region, reported on Tuesday that, in ten days, Kiev had lost some 1,500 troops and “countless military vehicles” in the area.

(Notice the high powered media they are using to criticize Ukraine’s tactics lately?)

Totally agree. Prigozhn was in the Kremlin with lots of others in the Kremlin with Putin the very next day when the insurrection was surrendered. And Putin literally has NEVER said Prigozhin’s name as the leader, just those that participated. I think the insurrection was used as a trap to catch the real traitors.

The Russian media blamed him but Putin NEVER said his name, he said the coup plotters.

This seems to fake out the EU and US to make them think Wagner wonn’t be a force that can win in war with him gone.

Heck the insurrection was like a walk in the park, except some imaginary Russian military helicopters being shot down with no pictures or proof.

I bet Putin is really chuckling that anyone believed it!
