Glad you enjoyed that “epic” video. About 400 guys killed. What fun.
Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Hitler and Putin followers are all the same. No difference at all.
The German military conducted advanced research and training in the Soviet Union for almost a decade. Even after Hitler came to power, almost up to the start of Operation Barbarossa, the two countries were cooperating militarily.
“Stalin, who had begun personally directing Soviet naval construction in 1936, made sure that the Soviet military received vast quantities of German military technology in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in exchange for Soviet raw materials. Germany again began to send its officers to the Soviet Union to advise and assist the Soviets in training and technical development. Further, in the fall of 1939, the Germans agreed to supply Soviet submarines fighting against Finland, while the Soviets did the same for German commerce raiders. At the height of cooperation, Stalin even granted the German Navy permission to open a secret naval base near Murmansk to interdict British shipping and assist in the invasion of Norway. Only with the German invasion of the Soviet Union would the last of the joint ventures be terminated.”
I won’t be quiet, sorry!

Poland had a non-aggression pact with nazi Germany also. I guess that made them an ally also. Nobody would call Poland a nazi ally, just illustrating the point you made that a non-aggression pact is not an alliance.
Hitler obtained huge amounts of raw material from the Soviet Union.
Russia learned how to make good tanks and considerable other technical advances from the Germans.
There was a lot of cooperation before Hitler invaded. Stalin was incensed, because he had expected to be the one to stab Hitler in the back.
I can assemble that with my eyes closed! :)
The Soviets also had a non-aggression pact with Japan for most of the war except the last 6 weeks or so. Also not an alliance.
The USSR was flat out evil, but no sane person isn’t glad they beat Hitler. Our supplies kept them alive, but 7 of every 9 Germans killed in WWII died on the eastern front.
Daily Mail has become a pure propaganda outlet, replete with the ‘this MAY be true’ or ‘that MAY be true’.
If you have proof, print it. Otherwise, shut your oral fly attractor.

He was joking around in a sound check.
Reagan 1988, I guess you don’t like 88 Reagan so much.
100%
You also get to see Sam Donaldson and remember what a sphincter he was.
What did it have nukes aboard for?? Is the nut psychopath planning to nuke Ukraine?
OMG , the great loss of Macho
But now that crowd absolutely loathes Russia. They think communism didn't fail. Russia failed, and for that they can never be forgiven.
LOL...differences with no distinctions.
Sad to see freepers unable to grasp the core reality.
I’m guessing some Officers are headed to the Gulag for this, the defense oriented YouTube channels are reporting that this ship had state of the art anti-missile technology and should have been able to easily deal with one or even multiple low-tech sub-sonic anti-ship missiles. But according to intelligence reports, all the defense and radar systems had been turned OFF at the time the missile struck. Apparently the Russian Officers had been so confident that Ukraine was no threat that they weren’t even bothering to power on their early warning radar and anti-missile systems.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh.
i don’t believe their nuke BS or other from that trashy rag.
.
It was interesting that southfront posted a scathing article today about russian military corruption and incompetence.SF isn’t buying the fire story and thinks anti-ship missile strike. It also has interesting list (20 yrs) of warships built versus Yachts built............
