The older tanks , those not up to date , are usually given to the national guard....

they keep them running and serviced...

eventually they get scrapped...

come to think of it since it is OT heh, i was watching a comparison of ww2 tanks how the nazis were machined and finished taking longer to build and less able to deflect ammo, where as the russains had casting defects left and other things youll have to look up, it finished with a modern day isreali tank with a smaller army they are made much heavier...speed is of the essence or a balance. anyway,

i dont really know whats going on other than the same old story, thats why i came on here they have not reported this AT ALL in usa, bye

...this is off wiki sooo...
As the names "Ruthenia" and "Rus" have very often been confused with their modern derivative "Russia", White Ruthenia has often been referred to as "White Russia". This misinterpretation has been supported by the Moscovite regents after the fall of Kievan Rus. The Moskovite dukes, starting with Ivan IV, considered themselves to be the rightful successors of the Ruthenian grand duke dynasty, and their use of the name "Russia" as referring to all former Ruthenian (east slavic) lands became a political weapon and a casus belli for claiming the west Ruthenian territories from Lithuania and Poland.

Will the Belarusian people get inspired by what is happening in Egypt and overthrow Lukashenko?

That would be stupid of them!

And how come that the U.S ain't giving the Belarusians the same support like they did to the Poles in the 80's?

Trying to poke their snout in there?

Belarus doesn't take money from the West to feed its citizens like Egypt.Belarus gets russian cash and the flow remains stable.

Belarussians also love Russians while they are not so fond of the West.In fact I never pointed out why the country is called White Russia since there exists no Black Russia.

Poland leads nations in raising 90 million euros for Belarus opposition

i worry for Poland. i seriously worry for Poland

so, i won`t think that `Poland leads nations in raising 90 million euros for Belarus opposition`. Its rather `Polish leadership pledge to sacrifice even Polish people, on the behalf of its masters from so called west`

Poles, my brothers... Luca is dictator but, Luca is small fish. True dictators and greedy monsters live on so called west. Democracy? We all know that its not about democracy. Masks falling down... its clash of civilizations over limited resources. We should stick with our sides, with our people, within our civilization.

Wasn't the Ukraine known as Black Russia or Black Ruthenia so named for its rich dark hued soil?

Ukraine was known as the bread basket of the Soviet union... their rich dark soil was great for growing food...

Ah i see Black Ruthenia was in the Western part of todays Belorussia this must be the reason for the black half of their flag.

I heard somewhere that Belarus, has that prefix (possibly wrong, the source is not so reliable, drinks a lot:)), is an old word for the west used by Old Slavs, that would explain Belarus, as western from russia, also Belgrade (Beograd) would be some city in the west for our eastern Slavs. (belo = west, according to that source).

Crow should know, or lodz.

That is how they told me.

What opposition? :)))

Scream.

So fans are getting 90 mill.
if I would be from Belarus I would stick to the handsome Luka.
Mustaches.
Appearance is everything.

I read recently an article in one of western male magazines published here too, a travelers report from Belarus. (now am I a man or a woman, why am I buying male magazines :))

They say it's all propaganda.(PR)
Author said that it is a nice, clean country.
In Ordnung. Like Germany. That means perfect in my world.
All girls look like models.(in Belarus, not Germany)

Listen Chernenko a pro communist imperialist like yourself could never understand.

I doubt that you know who Chernenko really was... The point is that American Poles is most illiterate and blindfolded species that exists on Earth.

I know much about Russian history, of course i know who Konstantin Chernenko was, and Andropov and Ustinov.

The point is that American Poles is most illiterate and blindfolded species that exists on Earth.

I didn't get my knowledge of Russia from American school books, i'd probably know close to nothing if i did, i got it from being a history buff and reading in my free time.

I have Russian friends and like Russian people but you seam to me like a hypocritical nationalist who only posts bad things about others and will never admit to any Russian wrongdoings.

If Lukashenko gave me 90 million euro, in Poland, the opposition could finally break through the Gang of Four media oligopoly. Unfortunately, the SLD, PO, PiS and PSL would not allow the use of such assistance. Poland is a totalitarian and oppressive country, fighting the opposition.

Is there any?

I didn't get my knowledge of Russia from American school books,

You can read! That is already something to work with. I take my words back.

Why hypocritical? Actually I thought that I am most honest man on this forum. I cannot hide that I hate:

- Poles
- Americans
- Brits
- Others

How can you name this "hypocritical"? Quite the opposite, trying to rise 90 millions for some mythical opposition by one of the poorest state in Europe, what else may be more hypocritical?

Let take a minute to find out a lil about the man behind the mask, why do you HATE these people? hate is a strong word. I've heard from Russian that Poles hate them, but i've never heard them say they hate Poles.

The first place - YES! Poland is the best, even in Constantine's hate ranking!

But it is surprising to me that the Asian nation hates us so much. One would think
that they should concentrate more on similar, neighbouring nations (like Mongolia,
for example.) Oh, well - still it's nice to be in the first place (or in the pole position,
if you will.)

Simply because they are from another tribe. Isn't it a sufficient reason?

Actually Russians are the closest thing to Poles based on real genetics research, Poles are something between Czechs and Russians leaning more towards Russians. Even Vladimir Putin say that...
