    I see this thread is still discussing AF.... Found this article. I'm stunned that this wasn't done within a month of the final evacuation, but better late than never I guess...

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/joe-biden-announces-intention-rescind-132448012.html

    I think AF will relatively quickly find itself on other US lists going forward...

    Flipping the script generally requires a little more cleverness than that. 1/10.

    The US army base training Ukrainian fighters
    By Tara McKelvey
    BBC News
    Published 4 hours ago

    Senior-level Ukrainian officers have been studying in the US state of Kansas, thousands of miles from Russia's invasion and the battlefields of Donbas.

    ...

    Fort Leavenworth has proved to be a valuable training ground for dozens of Ukrainian soldiers over the past several decades, who spend a year studying at the base's US Army Command and General Staff College.

    Today, experts say, the knowledge they gain there is helping Ukrainians mount a fierce defence of their country - in part because of the contrast between the flexibility of American military coursework and the rigid Soviet-style education given to Russian soldiers.

    ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62001336

    One more very important reason that the Ukrainians will win this war. They have far superior training to their orcish counterparts. :thumbsup:

    Babushka Z: The woman who became a Russian propaganda icon
    By Sofia Bettiza & Svyatoslav Khomenko
    BBC News
    15 June

    [​IMG]
    An elderly Ukrainian woman brandishing a red Soviet flag has become the unlikely face of Kremlin propaganda after a video of her encounter with Ukrainian soldiers went viral. The BBC tracked down "Babushka Z" to try to establish the truth behind the incident.

    ...

    But her story is very different from the image that the Russian media has been painting. She does not support the war.

    "How can I support my people dying? My grandchildren and great-grandchildren were forced to go to Poland. We live in fear and terror."

    So why did Anna greet soldiers with a Soviet flag? She says she has been misunderstood. She claims she confused the two Ukrainian soldiers offering her food with Russian soldiers.

    ... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61757667

    Some Russian propaganda images based on her and the false naZi narrative about her:

    This stuff is all in your newspapers. Stuff that Putin himself said, ie in relation to stationing troops on Ukraine's border, 'Every nation has the soverign right to do as it pleases within its own borders.' Paraphrase. And he denied there was any intention of crossing that border.
    This liar dog came to Australia. He told the AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE he would fully co-operate with the inquiry into MH17 - he forbade key Russian witnesses from attending that enquiry,
    And you BELIEVE this person?

    Pity, I don't read the newspapers, just like MSM. Full of BS.

    When MSM is far from reporting honestly. If Putin reneged, then it must have been for a good reason. I find it very difficult to believe any government as the majority lie as it's their second language. I believe Putin more than I do my own government.
    You do remember Edward Snowden, right? He worked for the NSA or such. He knew what was going on and what was to happen in the future. He had the moral & ethical fibre within his being to blow the whistle. Because of the sensitivity of the information leaked, he was hunted. Because what he exposed was unconscionable acts of privacy invasion of the American people. Guess where he fled to? Russia. He is no spy, he just knew that Russia is/was one of the sanest and safest places on Earth. It is MSM that paint BS narratives of people. They either make you a saint or a sinner. I make my own judgements by what I research, as I stay away from the BS propaganda machine, MSM. as it's all about money for them, as the truth doesn't pay that well. BS does.

    Are you referring to the many trump-loving insurrectionists who broke the law on January 6, 2021 and are now in jail, exactly where they belong?

    You stand correct, Putin had a VERY good reason in not co-operating. Those 'volunteers' in Ukraine's Donbass were Russian soldiers without insignia. No 'volunteer' can summon Russia's military Buk missiles.
    If your government lies, as UK's Boris Johnson did, then there's a good chance they will be caught out. Remember Clinton's 'I did not have sex with that woman' ?
    Well Putin can lie to his own people, ie, 'We won't invade Ukraine' and the next day, 'We are invading Ukraine.' and no-one is going to say, Wait a minute, did YOU just say...?'

    Australia was in the past a penal colony. That does not make it backwards today.

    It's not for morale; it's to kill orcs.
