Yan Petrovsky was a commander of the Rusich Group – a Russian far-right and neo-Nazi paramilitary unit. Yan Petrovsky and the Rusich Group have been committing War Crimes since 2014. The Rusich Group has been linked to Russia’s Wagner Group—both with a long history of brutality. Co-founder Alexey Milchakov gained notoriety for publishing images of animal cruelty and openly celebrating war crimes.
Finland sentences Russian neo-Nazi mercenary Yan Petrovsky to life for war crimes in Ukraine:
Does America needs a new ‘Pod’? America certainly needs more than just the identical likeness or similar pair that the Democratic and Republican parties offer.
As a No Party Affiliation (NPA) registered Florida voter, I can’t stand either the Democratic or Republican party and usually vote against whichever I find most objectionable at the time. I voted against Harris last November. What a choice – Trump or Harris. While Trump has done better domestically this time around, his foreign policy has been a disaster—bordering on treason, in my humble opinion, particularly in his actions enabling Russia to recover from their reinvasion of Ukraine.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties support BIG government – though each wants their own version of it. Both appear left-wing to me, though Republicans might be considered center-wing. However, for clarity, I’ll use the conventional left-wing and right-wing labels. Political terminology can be quite confusing – I only recently learned that the Republican party encompasses Republicans, Conservatives, and “Classic Liberals.”
Article Two of the United States Constitution provides that U.S. presidents must be at least 35 years old at the time of taking office – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is 35 years old (October 13, 1989). She would be 39 years old on inauguration day – 1/20/2029 (a Saturday). ‘Theodore Roosevelt, who, at age 42, succeeded to the office after the assassination of William McKinley‘ was the youngest at this point in American history.
Hard to believe the Russian people haven’t already executed Putin and his cronies. Since the start of Putin’s 2022 reinvasion of Ukraine he has been taking away freedoms that the Russian people had gained under Mikhail Gorbachev.
Putin and his cronies spent years bragging about the new modern and powerful military they were building, but their massive military failings in the attack upon Ukraine has proven they were more focused on stealing from the Russian treasuries.
In almost two years, Russia has lost thousands of tanks—so many they have been forced to bring out Soviet-Era T-54 Tanks (entered service in 1948) as replacements. They lost so much artillery, aircraft, and armored combat vehicles that Putin was forced to go on bended knees to Iran and North Korea.
Russia lost just 14,453 Killed troops and 53,753 Wounded during 10 years of war in Afghanistan. In Ukraine, after almost 2 years, Russia has lost a staggering 348,300 Killed troops and 1,044,900 Wounded.
Putin made the biggest mistake in Russian history by reinvading Ukraine. That is now his Legacy, but he keeps hoping that the Europeans and/or the Americans are going to help him save his Legacy—as in, one or both will just abandon Ukraine and the Ukrainians.
Putin had accidentally exposed Russia’s Military weaknesses to the entire Planet Earth, and Putin now hopes that the Europeans and America are going to stand idly by and give Russia the chance to rebuild their once renown Military Power!?
I don’t think so. 🤔 Why not allow Putin to compound his first “biggest mistake in Russian history” by making his second “biggest mistake in Russian history”? With such obviously *BIG* mistakes making going on, it wouldn’t seem to be possible for him to make a third one, but heck—who would’ve guessed back on 2/24/2022 that Ukraine was going to repel that Russian reinvasion and then force Russia into the defensive position.
Sorry, Vladimir “Adolf” Putin, but your Legacy is only going to get worse before you die…
