LA: Soviet Red Flag on US Streets – as Trump Deploys Mounted Police in Chinatown! (10.6.2025)

! Some are calling parallels to the 1968 Tet Offensive in South Vietnam – where Vietcong guerrilla units came out of domestic homes, offices, and deeply-dug tunnels to attack the US Authorities, the US Army, the puppet South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) – and the oppressive Catholic Church! The Vietnamese Buddhist community showed solidarity by advanced monks and nuns burning themselves out of protest against US imperialism! From the North, the North Vietnamese Army (Regulars) attacked over the boundary marked by the 38th Parallel that temporarily separated North Vietnam from South Vietnam. Of course, North Vietnam still possessed extraordinary people such as Ho Chi Minh and General Giap (amongst many other talented individuals) – at a time when the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) was staunchly Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (things would change later – but we mustn’t dwell on that now)! The far-left in the West is in a sorry state today following more than a hundred years of continuous oppression, suppression, and unjustified attack.

Historical British Army “Ranks” & “Formations”! (30.8.2024)

There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”.  The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.

USSR: Red Army Cavalry 1938 Model ‘Carbine’ (17.5.2022) 

The concept of the ‘carbine’ may well have originated during the late 1500s in France and referred to the weapon these ‘Light’ Cavalrymen used to carry. In this instance, this may well have been a ‘slang’ term used in the French language which referred to mounted archers from Flanders who were considered deadly shots and sure bringers of ‘death’! (The association is unclear but may refer to an assumed connection between the ‘carrion beetle’ and the ‘plague’, etc). Whatever the origin, a ‘carbine’ appears to refer to a ‘short’ and highly effective weapon carried when sat in the saddle and used when riding the horse whether into or out of battle. The 1938 ‘Carbine’ Model measured just 1020 mm (or 3.4 feet) long (minus a bayonet) – and fired a round measuring 7.62 mm! The ‘Carbine’ Model 1938 was sighted to fire up to 1000 meters! The Izhevsk Machine-Manufacturing Plant was the only place equipped for producing this ‘Carbine’ between 1941-1942 – during the height of the ‘Great Patriotic war’ – when the workers of this factory produced over 1,106,510 which were sent immediately for frontline service!

Red Army Horses (1941-1945) by Timur Muminov [Тимур Муминов] (13.8.2019) 

The time of severe trials proved the expediency of organizing a special fund of selected horse stock. In total, about three million horses came from the national economy to the front. Even more of them would be needed if, thanks to a well-organized military Veterinary Service, the vast majority of slightly wounded and sick animals did not return to Service – but were returned to the Home-Front to continue their vital patriotic services. However, more than a million uncomplaining Soviet War-Horse died in the anti-fascist war! Already, by 1942, the USSR was short of horses – with the shortfall being met by purchases from its allies in Mongolia!
