a reply to: Imhere

Don’t forget Russia is fighting with only shovels.

hey don't knock e tools, many a U.S. Solider and Marine have sent the enemy on their way to the big PX with one.
granted their not ordered to assault or defend a position with one, it came down as the last resort.

BERLIN, April 18 (Reuters) - Two German-Russian nationals have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting sabotage attacks, including on U.S. military facilities, in what officials called a serious effort to undermine military support for Ukraine.

"We reject attempts to find the involvement of Russian special services in the development of alleged plans to attack military facilities located in Germany, including American military bases, as absurd and ridiculous,"

If true, i think that's what we would call disavowed big-time.

They didn't reject the fact that they arrested 2 people , did they?

a reply to: RussianTroll

On April 16, a fire and explosions occurred in the American city of Scranton at a weapons factory producing 155 mm caliber shells. for Ukraine. On April 17, a similar incident occurred at the ammunition production plant of the British company BAE Systems in Wales.

There was no explosion at General Dynamics in Scranton. There was a fire that was handled pretty quick. Only the shells are made there. Once the shells are made in Scranton they’re shipped to Ohio to be completed.

Be rather hard for them to reject the fact that people have been arrested and are detained in Germany.

Why would they reject it?

a reply to: charlest2

The Polish security services from time to time also catch Russian agents who plan attacks on military sites or critical infrastructure. And these are not only Russian citizens but also the Poles and Ukrainians recruited by the Russian security services.

These planned acts of sabotage do not always get to the news. Actually, they rarely do probably to avoid mass hysteria.

This is why I wouldn't totally exclude the failed attempt at sabotage. But not by frustrated workers who suddenly turned into pacifists but by Russian agents and the locals they recruited.

Firstly.
Is it Wales or England?
The fact that both are stated contradicts itself which in turn casts obvious doubts to the reports credibility.
It can't be both.

You do understand that don't you?

Secondly.
Any supportive evidence at all?
Without any its just opinionated speculation.

Thirdly.
Any comment on the many attacks in Russia by anti-Putin Russian forces, domestic opponents to Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Ukrainian Special Forces etc?

HUH? Wales is IN England.
like Texas is In US. "Texas USA"

No it isn't.

a reply to: Scratchpost

The United Kingdom is made up of four nations, Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Each of these nations has its own distinct culture, traditions, and in some cases, legal systems.

Wales is not in England.

Wales is in Wales.

I'm glad you posted that. I always wondered.
Now please explain to me what is 'British'?
Is that just people in England? Or is that everyone in UK?

People from the UK which is made up of four nations are British.

England is a nation and a place.

People from England are English.

But Wales definitely is not in England.

And people from Wales are Welsh.

Thank you. My ancestors were from England and Ireland.
You'd think I'd know this stuff. But I don't.

Ha ha ha.

I can just imagine the reaction if you said that in a bar in The Valleys.

a reply to: Scratchpost



did you take world geography or history, if so did you pass?

there are four nations in the UK, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

So once again another abandoned thread.

Because RT got caught talking mince and punting nothing but Russian propaganda.

Not one ounce of proof to support the claims just the ramblings of a Russian intelligence clown with an agenda to satisfy.

Britain is the largest island in the British Isles. It comprises of England, Scotland and Wales. All English, Scots and Welsh are also British.

The UK comprises Britain and Northern Ireland. The Northern Irish are not British, they are Irish. But they are citizens of the UK.

a reply to: WaESN

Some people in Northern Ireland identify as British, and others identify as Irish.

Trust me however when i say, you try telling a lot of people from the likes of Belfast that they are not British and they are not apt to be rather pleased, especially around the 12 of July.

And on the flip side of that there are those from Catholic or nationalist communities, who identify as Irish.

But at the end of the day Northern Ireland is part of the UK hence people who live there could indeed be considered to be just as British as the rest.

If that's how they choose to feel.

To be rather honest its a bloody mine field. LoL
