How Soviet armored trains helped defeat Nazi Germany

The outbreak of war came as a real nightmare for Soviet armored trains, which frequently had to cover the withdrawal of Red Army units single-handedly. If the enemy managed to sever the railway line, the armored train was doomed. It was either destroyed or blown up by its own crew.

With the turning of the tide in the war, the “fortresses on wheels” were transformed from desperate “suicide trains” into a solid back-up for Soviet troops as they swept westwards.
One elusive Soviet armored train caused the Germans so much trouble that they dubbed it the ‘Green Ghost’.

Due diligence company Mintz Group claims five of its Chinese staff were apprehended and its operations ceased, and have vowed to "resolve any misunderstandings" with authorities.

The New York-headquartered business - which according to its website specialises in background checking, fact gathering and internal investigations - claims it was not given legal notification of the raid, and says the detainees are being held incommunicado outside of Beijing.

"Red alerts should be going off in all boardrooms right now about risks in China," a US-based business community person told Reuters.

Ramos claims the government “want to shoot the messenger,” he told Reuters in response to the President’s comments.

Trump Warns Of ‘Death And Destruction’

Former US President Donald Trump has warned that there could be “death and destruction” if he’s indicted for allegedly instructing his lawyer to pay hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels during the final stages of his 2016 presidential campaign.

“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States… with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday apparently referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Although he did not mention him by name, Trump claims this person, who he calls a “degenerate psychopath that truly hates the USA,” knows that “potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country.”
