I have stayed out of the Russia Ukraine stuff because I don’t like either side and mistrust all of our politicians that want us in a nuclear conflict badly for the purposes of reaching their master’s depopulation goals. In this case, AKA Joe’s strident depreciations against the person making the video peaked my curiosity. Here are my takes understanding that I was a marginal division officer on a destroyer several decades ago:
This man is or was a mid ranking enlisted man in the US military with expertise is the Patriot Missile System.
His takes jibe with what I vaguely remember about missile systems onboard a 70’s era DDG.
I am not sure why anyone on CNN, who are uniformly pro-globalist would be discrediting him.
I am not sure who is left on CNN, but none of them would likely know how operate a socket or impact gun without hurting themselves.
This guy is unlikely to have not received some NJP in his career.
I would definitely hire him into any technical position I had available when he leaves the service.

Useful perspective, Super Hose. To be fair, I too have never touched a socket or impact gun

You have not, but you probably would not argue with a mechanic about how to fix your car. The young man in the video is authentic. No cable news show would broadcast an actual enlisted person with working knowledge. It is always the generals.

This man is or was a mid ranking enlisted man in the US military with expertise is the Patriot Missile System.
He is SFC Long stationed at Ft. Sill, OK. He is a trainer and operator of the Patriot systems.

Thank you. I enjoyed the video. He is fantastic proof that the US military has not been ruined despite our best efforts. I appreciate that his command is allowing him to speak judiciously. He will make a lot of money, in my opinion, as a contractor one day. I would have loved to have served with him.

Zelensky specified that the shells hit between two two-story residential buildings.
20:47 Borrell said that Ukraine will become a "new Belarus" in case of stopping the supply of Western weapons. According to him, if the supply of weapons to Ukraine stops, the conflict with Russia will end for her in a conditional "peace of capitulation." In this case, according to Borrell, Ukraine will become like Belarus - a state that has lost an important part of its sovereignty. The diplomat stressed that the point is not to end the war, but how it will be ended.
20:16 The city of Shebekino, Belgorod region, is in an abandoned state - official Russian forces no longer control it, the Russian Volunteer Corps said. The chief of staff of the RDK Alexander with the call sign "Fortuna" said that at first there was no resistance at all, "but it is growing, and this is a plus, because our goal is to pull troops from the border regions and the front to ourselves."

17:58 In the occupied territory of the Zaporozhye region, Russians from June will not give out free medicines to children with diabetes and other chronic diseases if the parents do not have a Russian passport, Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said. In addition, according to him, imported Russian doctors in ambulances refuse hospitalization for children whose parents do not support the Russian Federation.
Also, the occupiers conducted mass "medical examinations" in schools, found many "diseases" in children and offer "treatment". The condition is the presence of a Russian passport for children who are 14 years old, or statements from parents about recognizing younger children as citizens of the Russian Federation.
17:13 Peskov said that Putin "was, is and will be open to any contacts in order to achieve the goals of the Russian Federation and other means than a special operation, but the West still leaves no other way out."
16:29 The situation at the front is "not significant, but changing a little," said Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar. According to her, for several months in a row, the Russians were advancing in the east in four directions - Avdievsky, Maryinsky, Limansky and Bakhmutsky. Later, they periodically became more active in two more directions - Shakhtyorsky and Kupyansky. At the same time, the enemy did not manage to reach the borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions during this time - he was exhausted and is now replacing troops and regrouping.
During the day, the enemy did not conduct offensive operations in the Bakhmut, Avdeevsky and Miners directions. At the same time, on Bakhmutsky, he tried to regain lost positions, but could not. In the other three directions - Kupyansky, Limansky, Maryinsky - it is conducting quite intensive offensive operations, but to no avail.
In Bakhmut, the situation is "conditionally stable." According to Malyar, Ukrainian forces control the southwestern outskirts of the city. At the same time, the Wagnerites have not completely left the city yet - they are carrying out instructor work with the arrived detachments of the regular army.
15:24 Prigozhin said that the Russian Defense Ministry is doing nothing to protect the Belgorod region from shelling, and if this continues, the Wagnerites will protect it. He threatened that the PMC mercenaries would do it on their own initiative, "without asking permission" from the Russian authorities, from whom they only need ammunition.

Having committed an act of aggression, the Russian Federation occupied Crimea, parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson areas. The fact is recorded in the official documents of the UN".
Nikolenko stressed that a ceasefire, the disengagement of forces over a 15-kilometer distance and the creation of a demilitarized zone will not work: “Russia is now trying in every possible way to disrupt the Ukrainian counteroffensive. and accumulate strength for a new wave of aggression. Long-term peace in Ukraine means the liberation of Ukrainian territories from Russian occupation."
11:26 More than 4,800 shelters have already been checked in Ukraine: 252 of them were closed, another 893 were unusable, Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said.
11:22 Zelensky said that Ukraine needs 50 Patriot batteries to protect its citizens from Russian shelling. According to him, today this is the only complex that is capable of counteracting certain types of Russian missiles. Ukraine also needs air defense for a counteroffensive, the president added.
11:15 In the occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russians began to conduct a medical examination of adults, "the technology is being developed," said the head of the Russian Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko. Earlier, Putin announced the need to conduct a medical examination of the adult population, noting that the medical examination of children "gives good results."

The anti-aircraft gunner of the fire cover group with the call sign "Major" signed a contract a few months ago and after a training course went to the zone of the special military operation.
The decision to enter the service under the contract was made primarily on personal convictions, Major said. Family, relatives and friends fully supported him at such a crucial moment.
In the NMD zone, the main task of the fighter is to cover the combat crew of the Tor-M2 air defense system from low-flying targets and enemy air attack weapons.
“Major” is satisfied with the service, says: “I accept, I absorb a lot, because the guys have been serving for more than one year. Some are over 10 years old, some are over 15 years old. Naturally, they convey their experience, suggest, direct. Something I can suggest."

Commentary by former Russian prime minister Dmitri Medvedev. Commentary by Russian military journalist is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Once again about those who left
The representatives of the “honest elite” who have left “there” indulge in sweet dreams about how well our country will live after the fall of the “regime” and return to the non-binary European bosom.
How quickly all the ideologemes of an unnecessary patriotic war will be curtailed and a universal holiday of freedom will reign.
I don't know which of them sincerely believe this. There are different people with different mental abilities. Although, of course, neither Bunin, nor Berdyaev, nor Ilyin, nor Chaliapin are among them at all. So-so. Average. But I can say one thing for sure: there will be no return to the “bright” European past for them. And not only because we are not loved there and are not expected. Home-grown analysts "from the former", who have bred like lice and scattered all over the greasy European body in all directions, cannot and do not want to understand one simple truth.
Russia today is a completely different country compared to the pre-war period. Leaders, parties and governments come and go. But the memory and values bonded with blood remain for a very long time. For decades. Sometimes for centuries. No new leaders will be able to change them, let alone destroy them, no matter what political force they embody (I'm not talking about outright traitors). Today, only those renegades who have forgotten about the death of our citizens can dream of returning to a friendly European family. Civilians and soldiers of Russia. Unfortunately, there are deaths.
Imagine the unimaginable that the USSR collapsed in the late 1940s. And the new, “democratically elected” leadership of Russia would announce that the war with the Germans was unjust, and the Nazi regime suffered innocently and that we urgently need to make peace with it. It is clear what would happen to such freaks. In every family, the memory of the terrible war of the Soviet people and the dead relatives was fresh. And now the situation is very similar, despite the different scale of the involvement of the population in the war.
Therefore, any political leader who tries to change the discourse of the country's development that emerged after February 24, 2022 will be anathematized as a traitor. As a person who betrayed the memory of our citizens who laid down their lives in this war.
So there is no hope for a triumphant return for these figures. Relocants are lonely and useless. Let them live, expiring bile accumulated from anger. Or, under a glass of red, sadly recalling the lost Fatherland and former glory.

There will be no return to 2007.We continue to say goodbye to the 30-year experiment on the country and people with a trip to the golden billion.
The inertia of this "great march to the West" left as a legacy the need to deal with "frightened patriots", relocators, collaborators and traitors who were and are derivatives of the "march to the West", which began back in Perestroika.
