🇷🇺🇺🇸I am adding these Donnie activities in the last year to this list:

-Lend Lease

Nearly 400000 vehicles, 11 million boots, millions of tons of food. Soviet generals privately admitted it was crucial. Zhukov himself said it.

-The 1921-22 famine

Russians were dying from hunger. American Relief Administration (ARA) under Herbert Hoover fed 10 million Russians. Soviet officials were humiliated by it but accepted it. Now it’s completely forgotten.

-The 1991-92 collapse

US pushed through debt relief, grain credits, and humanitarian shipments when the Soviet system imploded and shelves were empty. Saving them again.

-Technical assistance in the 1930s

American engineers and companies like Ford essentially built Soviet industrial capacity. Magnitogorsk was modeled on Gary, Indiana.

USAID, Bush legs, Nuun-Lugar program, Peace Corps, I can’t count all the shit US had done for Russia

These are just the big ones from the top of my head

20 years in comedy, ladies and gentlemen

Jokes aside

Exchanging 1000 people was a Ukrainian initiative in exchange for a peaceful parade.

For the Russians, the parade is more important than anything else for ideological reasons, and considering that this week Ukraine really gave the impression that it was capable of disrupting the parade. I am not sure they really care about their soldiers, given how they are they are thrown at our FPVs and pointless meat assaults.

This is wonderful news for our mothers, sons, daughters, fathers and the whole nation and is absolutely on par with the condition not to attack the nothenberger parade.

During one of the assaults, nine Russians approached the position. Serhiy took out two of them at point-blank range. He eliminated the other seven in coordination with his comrades.

“At first, I piled the enemy’s bodies near the position. Then there were too many—I started burying them. So the enemy wouldn’t figure out where I was based on the accumulation of their dead,” Serhiy said.

Rotation was nearly impossible for a long time: enemy drones blocked the approaches. At the same time, losing the position was out of the question. The stability of the neighboring lines depended on it.

Pabedaaaa!

🇷🇺🇩🇪There's a reason most of the world marks the defeat of Nazi Germany on May 8 while Russia insists on May 9, and it's a piece of history the Kremlin would rather people forget.

The last major battle against the Germans took place in Prague from May 6 to May 8, 1945. The Soviet Army didn't win it. The 1st Division of General Vlasov's Russian Liberation Army did.

When Czech resistance fighters rose up and called for help, Vlasov's men turned their guns on the Germans they had until recently been allied with. The large German garrison holding Prague, by then one of the last significant concentrations of Wehrmacht forces anywhere, surrendered to one of Vlasov's commanders, General Bunyachenko.

The frontal lobes in particular can sustain surprising amounts of damage without obvious immediate symptoms in motor function, speech, or consciousness.

The famous Phineas Gage case in 1848 involved an iron rod going completely through his skull, and he was talking and walking minutes later.
