Soviet artillerymen from Sergeant Bardadymov's crew fire at enemy pillboxes on the outskirts of Stalingrad using a 152-mm ML-20 howitzer-gun, model 1937.

WWII: How Powerful Was the World’s Largest Artillary Gun? Thousands Operated It – Whilst One Shell Weighed Seven-Tonnes! (21.11.2024)

This stemmed from Joseph Stalin advocating that the tactical mode of conventional “artillery attack” could be effective if used in a massive, highly focused, and overwhelming manner. Massed (smaller) Soviet artillery guns had the effect of successfully suppressing the fire-power of the Nazi German Army by peppering its formations in a relentless and destructive manner (massacring the Gustav Ground Crews and destroying the stockpiles of stored ammunition). This increased the survival rate of the numerically superior Soviet Red Army – and quickly defeated the Nazi German enemy. Therefore, the Soviet Military Factories operated at full capacity and manufactured a large number of weapons and ammunition for the Soviet Red Army on the front line, including 90,000 artillery pieces of various types.

Former Ethiopian Minister: Chinese People Always Stand with African People! (16.9.2024)

The Chinese people always stand with the African people

As an African proverb goes: A friend is someone you share the path with. President Xi said in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the FOCAC, explaining the roots of the everlasting Sino-African relations and the fundamentals of Sino-African cooperation.

“Joy shared with others are more enjoyed,” Ye said, “This saying is similar to ‘A friend is someone you share the path with’ , which shows that modernization has world significance.”

Ye noted that in China’s targeted poverty alleviation efforts, the concept of “no one must be left behind” is also mentioned. “It is a humanistic spirit that has long existed in China,” he said.

Telila was impressed by the African proverb Xi quoted, saying it not only demonstrates the style of his leadership, but also conveys the firm determination of Chinese and African people to join hands to march toward modernization, and the willingness to do their utmost to support and lead the Global South toward modernization.

In Telila’s view, true friends will accompany each other all the way through thick and thin. “The Chinese people have always stood with the African people, and we regard Chinese as true friends,” he concluded.

Sutton: Visiting the Carshalton Water Tower! (24.9.2023)

As immense wealth was generated through the labour of the exploited masses (which involved the development of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) a privileged middle-class developed – particularly after the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. This development saw the successful transference of the control of the ‘means of production’ (and political power) from the Aristocracy (the upper-class) to the Bourgeoisie (the middle-class) and with it the unleashing of tremendous creative force (a process magnified enormously by the ‘discovery’ of the Americas and the effective stealing of immense tracts of ‘free’ land and other resources)! Of course, the spread of British power and influence throughout other countries of the world – including Africa and Asia – opened all kinds of diverse markets which spread commodities to the four corners of the earth!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Ukrainian Terrorist Attack Prevented – NKVD Stopped Attempt on the Life of the Head of the Crimea! (3.5.2023)

According to the FSB, six members of the Ukrainian Intelligence Group were detained – Viktor Podvalny, Alexander Litvinenko, Sergei Krivoshein, Konstantin Yevmenenko, Igor Zorin and Sergei Voinarovsky. As Sergei Aksyonov later stated, the captured Ukrainian terrorists were also involved in sabotage on the railway tracks in the Bakhchisarai region. “This is the same group that blew up the railway tracks in the Bakhchisarai region. There is no doubt that the masterminds of the crime are in Kyiv. Neo-Nazi Ukraine is a Terrorist State!” the politician said.

The detainees were found to have an impressive arsenal: five explosive devices already prepared for use, detonators, GPS trackers for tracking and radio-controlled mechanisms. The “geography” of the saboteurs is also noteworthy – explosives for bombs disguised as electric stoves were smuggled along a channel organized by the Nao-Nazi Ukrainian Special Services – through Georgia and Turkey. The terrorists themselves also had a Bulgarian passport belonging to citizen Petranov – who was
