Appeal of the Lieutenant Colonel to the Belarusian military
I wish you good health, defenders of the fatherland! My appeal to you, Lieutenant Colonel of the Reserve Sakhashchik Valery Stepanovich
I introduce myself since I quit a long time ago, some of the current paratroopers may not know me, although probably everyone has heard about the Black Eagle tests. The current prowess and skill came from just there, well, and also from that, once upon a time, the 38th Brest landing brigade every morning ran ten ("kilometers" - the editors) and swam in the lake in full force all year round. Well, I'm just the brigade commander who ran ahead of the brigade for 4 years and was the first to jump into the hole, I'm Black Eagle number one.
All the most important things in life usually happen impromptu and unexpectedly. You can't prepare to be a hero.
It's just that in the life of every person a situation suddenly arises in which he must commit an act. Here and now.
And either go down in history, or try to wait for a more opportune moment. True, fate provides a chance to commit a real act only once.
I served in the airborne troops for quite a long time, only in the Brest brigade for more than 10 years from deputy battalion commander to brigade commander.
Those who came across me will not let you lie, I was one of the most fanatically devoted officers in the army, a patriot of my homeland, nothing has ever existed for me except service.
Commercialism is alien to me, so that no one tries to build a theory that someone hired me for this performance.
There were no cases in my biography that allowed me to suspect that I was for sale and at my age people no longer change.
The airborne troops were everything in my life, all the years after my dismissal I continue to help my native brigade.
A flagpole with the flag of the Airborne Forces stood in front of my house for 18 years, why I took it off is a separate story related to the events of 2020, this is not about that now.
Now I have decided to write down the first address in my life, because my compatriots ("Belarusians" - the editors), guys in blue vests, the kind that I have worn all my life, are sitting in the forest near the borders with Ukraine and it is very similar to what will happen in the near future. time they are going to take part in a very bad business, which can have catastrophic consequences for our country ("for Belarus" - the editors),
and finally bury the glory and traditions of the troops that many generations of paratroopers have mined and, perhaps, not all of them will return to their homeland alive.
The Russian army, which has vast combat experience, has been in hell for three days ("russia attacked Ukraine" - the editors). The number of those killed is already in the thousands, hundreds of prisoners, and hospitals and civilian hospitals in the border zone are overflowing with the wounded. No goals of the operation have been achieved, at the moment it has not been possible to take either Kyiv or any of the regional centers.
The Russian army is already quite exhausted, and the Ukrainians, having endured the most difficult first 72 hours, successfully mobilized, organized and debugged logistics, received support from the whole world and moral and military equipment, and most importantly, they saw that they were attacked by ordinary mortal people, they stopped being afraid , felt the taste of victory - this army will no longer retreat and surrender.
The Russians simply became victims of their own propagandists, who promised that the people of Ukraine would meet them with bread and salt as liberators. But you already know everything.
Although you are forbidden to have smartphones, you are still in your homeland in contact with family and friends and have had time to evaluate and comprehend everything. Does anyone have doubts that your entry into Ukraine will be better than the New Year's assault on Grozny in 1995? The information war is a terrible thing, propagandists have so cleverly learned to make a substitution of concepts and pass off white as black and vice versa. I don't want to get into politics, politics has always been alien to me.
But any thinking person should understand at least three things -
1) Ukraine has never threatened Belarus and does not threaten now
2) There are no drug addicts, nationalists in the Ukrainian government, and if they were, they were elected in free democratic elections.
3) There are no legal grounds for invading the territory of Ukraine in the Belarusian Armed Forces, especially since this is expressly prohibited by the current Constitution.
This is not our war, you will not defend your Motherland, your home, your family, you will not get glory in this conflict - but only shame, humiliation, blood, death and the status of an outcast nation for the entire Belarusian people for decades.
Brothers! Find a way not to participate in this dirty business. Fathers-commanders - can you live with the fact that they put the boys down for nothing? How will you look into the eyes of the mothers who gave you their sons.
Separately, I appeal to whom a lot depends - to military leaders with big stars:
For many of you, I was a commander, mentor, friend - you remained in my memory as decent, responsible, enterprising military leaders,
able to quickly navigate in a difficult environment, competently and deeply analyze the situation, calculate the consequences of certain decisions.
Guys! In the end, these are your direct functional duties, it is for this that the Motherland has raised you for so many years.
No matter how they put pressure on you - do a real masculine act, make the right decision, gain civic courage!
Do not send the boys to the slaughterhouse, sometimes the highest feat is simply to say NO and go down in history as a man who saved the lives of hundreds, and maybe thousands of people and
relations with the fraternal people ("Ukrainian" - the editors). And even if you are fired now - believe me, you will be heroes!
I have the honor!
The fact that EU nations are now sending military equipment to Ukraine risks escalating the chance for Russia to use nukes to end the war.
If Russia gets stalled they will have no option.

You think it will matter when now people who would deny national sovereignty, destroy nations, ridicule ethnical ties and communities, who would abolish borders and countries, now crying that Russia violated a nation, a country? Western "liberals" should rejoice and welcome this turn of events, the deconstruction of these oppressive, nationalistic institutions. They whine about how Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union was the embodiment of their ideals. No pesky ethnicities, no Russians, Ukrainians, Estonians, Armenians, or Mongols, just the socialist human type, the Soviet Man.
Well, at least here, all the socialists have named support for Putin.
WW2 veteran organizations? All called for Europe to condemn the fascist regime in Kiev. The so-called "Levica" party? Yep, Putin is a liberator.
And this pattern seems to be true across large part of Europe - I've heard it from both Italy and Spain.
I admit it: Since the beginning of this Russia-Ukraine thing I started lurking Kohlchan again (mostly lurking inside the big and pinned megathreads, just seldomly going to the catalog, because there might be other topic related threads) and I think I just saw CP again.
I didn't use IBs for almost a 3/4 year. Then I started coming here rarely again, just looking over the topics and closing it after 10 seconds. Then I was kind of fulltime back here, and now I fear to start lurking the Kohl again as much as I did before my time of abstinence. But I don't want this to happen.
Will I be able to just ditch Kohl (even better every IB) again when this war is over? I hate my weakness

I met the owner of my job. She's old, has man hands, bombastic, loud, obnoxious but she has a dumper to compliment her front as well as her face. She's the kind of woman that is off putting in many ways because she acts like a man snorting in the office, ignoring anyone's input but does she ever give off the aura she was once a foxy woman who wouldn't be afraid to punch you and I like that.
Thankfully she has a good humour and she weaselly moved her hand to touch mine when she was asking me to complete some menial task.
For the first time I'm thinking Russia might actually war Ukraine
I kinda do wanna see a happening
