Western propaganda

When American Propaganda just makes them look stupid:
https://www.rt.com/news/395840-state-department-report-russian-atlantis-kitezh/

Essentially, they throw a stone from a glass house, regarding a homeless issue, in a town that hasn't existed since 13th century.

Got to love how NATO is promoting Nazi's from the Baltics.

So apparently the neo-nazi site Daily Stormer was banned from Google, etc., so they registered a new domain "dailystormer.ru".

As you can expect, a massive Russophobic hysteria ensued on Twitter, from the usual suspects.... tens of thousands of retweets, etc.

Well, equally unsurprisingly, to those of us who actually know something about Russia, Roskomnadzor blocked the site and domain a day later.

The Russophobes' reaction to that? *Crickets*, as Anatoly Karlin puts it. Shocking! Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to Western "Russia experts" and media, but what a classic example of anti-Russian propaganda.

"Blue Checkmarks associating (bad) Neo-Nazis with Russia = 1,000s of RTs. Follow-up it was kicked off dailystormer.ru in one-day = *crickets*"

Several years ago I might have paid attention but now all this media BS about Russia has long become white noise to me

Nothing surprises me in this department anymore but I don't particularly care either...

Exactly... to people who care about the truth, the western media is making itself irrelevant.

What do you guys think of this: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/us-navy-getting-game-changing-154553518.html

Funny... it was the Soviets that went for long range anti ship missiles and the US that relied on its organic air power via its carriers to take the fight to the enemy.

Now they are saying that long range anti ship missiles might actually be a useful thing...

Except their missiles are still piece of crap subsonic missiles that 1970s guns can shoot down. 21st C air defence systems will eat such missiles for breakfast 24/7.

I would add that the chinese missile it mentions that is supersonic for the last few seconds of flight that it mentions has a range of 240 miles is a copy of the supersonic Klub missile... a subsonic cruise missile with a rocket powered supersonic payload... the purpose of the subsonic portion is long range flight at low level, while the supersonic rocket powered portion is to reduce flight time in the terminal phase when the enemy ship can react to the attack...

We know the export model of the supersonic Klub sold to China and India has a max range of 300km but there is no such limitation on the Russian model whose range could be 1,500km for all we know, yet still mach 2.9 for the terminal phase of its attack, which makes it very hard to intercept.

BTW looked at other articles on the website and it says the PAK FA is already a failure...

Why do you bother reading such shit?

More importantly why do you post links to that crap here?

If US can upgrade their Tomahawks to have 1000k+ range then i dont see how Russia and China can't do the same when given enough time to upgrade their own.

The Tomahawks already had long range... what they lacked was the ability to hit moving targets like ships that move while the missile is in flight.

The fact that the Russians have reportedly given Granit land attack capability suggests they want multirole missiles.

Onyx also reportedly has land attack capability but also the ability to hit ships too.

One could surmise that the 2,500km range Kalibre could also be given the ability to hit ships at sea too... in terms of targeting the Russian Navy is introducing a fleet wide data network that includes subs and satellites to collect target data, so very long range anti ship missiles should be perfectly possible.

Equally the article does not include the ballistic Chinese anti carrier group missile which no doubt has a range of several thousand kms too...

This is hardly a game changer as I mentioned because a very long range subsonic missile will take rather more time to reach its target than a medium range very fast missile like the ones the Russians and Chinese have...

Still a good reason for Russia and China to continue with their carrier programmes as the easiest way to defeat a long range missile attack is with long range vision from carrier based and air based and spaced based radars, and with aircraft armed with AAMs... even simple R-60MKs would be very effective at shooting down Tomahawks if you get them close enough.

I want to know does Russia have the capabilities to help other countries during times of crisis like when natual disasters hit a country like hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and others types of disasters? I hear that the United States sends its military and disaster aid to help other countries when natural disasters hit such a country. The US points to this and says to critics that America is not so bad and that it is the only country with this capability.  I would like to know why doesn't Russia do more to help other countries during natural disasters?

Moreover, how do people balance this aspect of US foreign disaster relief with the US military using its resources to help with a critique of an aggressive US foreign policy and its military actions as well as its support for the corrupt IMF and World Bank?

http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/190954-the-case-for-us-military-response-during-international

Russia has a very large, well organized and equipped Rescue organization. And they help people around the world all the time. Here is the thread on this site for that organization.

https://www.russiadefence.net/t1993-emercom-the-ministry-of-emergency-situations

Russia offers aide in disaster relief situations though such offers are not always accepted.

I seem to remember the US refusing an offer of Russian helos after Katrina.... the president being criticised for that as they could have used them.

Us help was refused by Myanmar, while Russian help was accepted.

So is it propaganda that the US military is the only one that has the capability to help poor countries? Are there any devious motives when it comes to foreign aid? I would also like to know do citizens in other wealthy countries donate money to poor countries? In my opinion, foreign financial aid has done more harm than good for developing countries. There was no IMF or World Bank when the US, Japan, Germany, Canada and other First World countries became rich.

Of course it is a lie. Here in this same forum there are pictures of Venezuela aid to Caribbean islands after the hurricanes. And Russia has sent humanitarian relief to other countries even in its worst economic times in the 90's.

US aide is often used to show that the US is a force for good in the world, but it is generally just a front...

they bomb more than they help.

US and western food aide generally undercuts local farmers who can't compete against free food.

In most countries the food is seized and given to allies of the government... in Somalia the warlords fought over such things... and the US backed the wrong people there Backhawk down.....

And to celebrate anniversary here is some light reading for all the fans out there, enjoy!

The Real Lenin: Traitor, Parasite, Failure

http://russia-insider.com/en/real-lenin-traitor-parasite-failure/ri21542

One tiny bit relevant for today:

...All this was sustained in large part thanks to German money. In 1917, a grand total of around 50 million gold marks were transferred to Lenin’s party in Petrograd (this translates to an amzing $1 billion in today’s currency). This helped fund the Bolshevik printing presses, and there are numerous accounts of money being handed out for protests against the Provisional Government throughout 1917 (all standard features of modern color revolutions)....

But so much more as well in the article, have at it...

Whoaa, wait, did you just accuse Russia Insider of working for Pentagon just now????  

The funny thing is that nothing has changed... today it will be blamed on Russian hackers... back then many in the west claimed the communists were jews.... the blame game is eternal... and so often wrong.

Surprisingly, not much people are familiar with this.
