There were times in past of so called rational politicians in the west. Whom knew where boundaries are!

Today is quite opposite! Western politicians are “mad #@$% crazy” and they don’t know about any boundaries!

Find an example of one rational, ‘non ostracized’, western politician today?

The State Duma denounced the CFE Treaty. That is where he is dear. This document lost its relevance for us back in 2007. But now, even in the line of previously suspended international obligations, nothing prevents us from placing our weapons where we want to protect our national interests. Including our Russian part of Europe.

And of course, we will maximize the production of weapons, military and special equipment and weapons.

PS By the way, hello Macron. According to his logic, this is also a geopolitical loss for Russia…

Patriot AD system destroyed in Kiev? Standard Patriot signature and obvious failure…

Better version below and longer…

That definitely is a Patriot System in full auto self-defense mode. If it was alive? It would be screaming in terror, as the Reaper said hello…

Updated: ⚡️ Kiev’s Patriot air defense system was hit by a high-precision strike from the Kinzhal hypersonic system, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

It is hilarious to see the crash control and lies in western media…

Looks like it and that means that Russia has already got all the means already ready…

Now you know that! Remember it is just one more lie upon the millions of lies the west is spouting…

The USA us really really a naked emperor…

Updated…

Russia launched a cheap spoof attack with Shaheds (which the Patriot didn’t shoot down) to draw out the positions of the Patriot battery then blew it to hell. The Patriot went into self defence mode…and failed…

❗️ According to reliable data, on May 16, as a result of an attack by the Kinzhal hypersonic missile system in the city of Kiev, a multifunctional radar station was hit and completely destroyed, as well as 5 launchers of the US-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.

Abrams? Heh! Children’s pedal car your Abrams.

That’s real power! Upgraded T-72! Improved, improved! With the comfort and convenience of a Maybach. There is even a reversing camera, so as not to inadvertently crush someone, or even vice versa, just crush if the need arises. Surpasses foreign equipment in combat power, control, protection and ease of use. With him, any attack is like fishing on a yacht – a pleasure!

And most importantly – a spectacular, recognizable and formidable appearance. On such a tank we will enter Kyiv and carry out denazification, simultaneously splitting the Abrams like nuts! Wait!
