Deir ez-Zor repeats the heroism of Leningrad.

God forbid, and take it to winter. But Racca is more and more reminiscent of Fallujah by fate

what winter, already on the outskirts of the database

[vanavatny]

maybe it’s enough to try to compare this whole Arab mess with the nightmare of Leningrad, Stalingrad ... let this rubbish dropouts - TV propagandists carry for the sake of the brightness of the image

[Gradus HuK]

vanyavatny Today, 14:52 By their Arab standards, they are very firmly defending their city! Worthy of respect!

[vanavatny]

let them defend the VKS to help them ... and what side is there a comparison here with Leningrad, then with Stalingrad? divorced humanitarians: on all channels, taking any village to storm Berlin is being pulled, for me it makes me blasphemy

[Kudrevkn]

I agree with you - in Stalingrad daily killed up to 10-15 thousand people. in Leningrad, only from starvation during the first winter, almost half a million ?! Eternal Memory to Heroes!

[vanavatny]

there is not and there cannot be at least some correct comparisons, it’s like giving a human passport to some kind of capybara, on the basis of the similarity of its embryo with a human in the first week of pregnancy ...

You look directly "exceptional man" and all the other plebs.
When people compare, they compare in miniature, but you will not cancel the tragedies of people with your vanity comments.
Hundreds of thousands of dead, thousands in slavery, millions in flight and all this in the "progressive, humanitarian, legal" 21st Century.
These "revolutions" around the world suit the United States, shake the United States with test tubes and they still destroy peoples wherever they can.
Your petty, scrawny commentary on the exceptional, it would be better if you kept it with you.

[vanavatny]

you can also keep your humanitarian snot with you, but the comparison should be correct and not look like the screams of a half-educated poet at a rally such as this century have been called progressive (why?)

[siberalt]

In the meantime, our Foreign Ministry is warning Russians to abandon trips to Charlestonville.
It will be necessary to find out where it is in order not to accidentally step on.

[Nikolai Petrov]

So after all, in the riots in Charlottesville, the "exceptional" have already been accused ...... Guess whom at once. Interestingly, if you listen to the opinion of the "exceptional", at least one dirty trick on the planet happens without the participation of Russia?

[210ox]

Well, they are far from the heroism of Leningrad. Although resilience in the environment is undeniable. Mostly militias fight, there their families and they have nowhere to go, either to fight or to slaughter everyone.

[ded100]

Now Deir ez-Zor must be unlocked and completely taken under control!

[siberalt]

And you also need to ensure that ISIS terrorists do not shell from Damascus from Damascus.

Well, why are you still distracted by the little things. Everything has its time: “The first thing is airplanes ..” - in the sense of denyushki, it is necessary to get in the form of oil and gas fields Deir ez-Zora, and there people themselves will reach for a full hawk and stop bombing everything in succession, verified by many thousand years of experience.

[kotuk_ha_oxote]

Blocked the city, that is, surrounded? And if they blocked, then where did the militants get knocked out?

[gloomy fox]

underground tunnels, they, like moles, dug them under the city. Now they will climb out among the ruins of buildings and shoot in the back of the troops.

[kotuk_ha_oxote]

That is, the troops stood for a month, and after the militants calmly left this village and this is presented as an incredible victory?

[v1tz]

Well, the last goal of Deir-ez-Zor ... then the trapping of individual groups and the most difficult, political regulation.

[Hadji Murat]

in DEZ you need to hold out until the end of the year, by this time the SAA will go to the city and unlock it

[Egorovich]

Whoever says anything, well done Syrians. The full report to them. Of course, a huge merit of Russia, but all the same Asadov’s lay their lives. God bless you to kill all the Barmales.
