@RYUNPON000 It was also common for small newspapers to write articles about items brought back by local soldiers. This would be a good starting point for anyone looking for missing swords. I have found many interesting photos of swords in this type of article.
@RYUNPON000 Some soliders may not have recognized the value but many did. This is a 1947 article from the USMC magazine ���Leatherneck” explaining the difference between mass produced and historical swords.
@kotetsu_bouzori Do you know of any good reference books or websites for Japanese polearms? I’ve always found them interesting but it seems difficult to find much information beyond basic facts about different styles, etc.
@Ander_Bruckes@CarloCalenda I am so glad to see this guy getting pushback. He is extremely slimey and disingenuous, hiding behind this “quaint old professor” mask. He’s also a major globalist, absolutely loves China and hates America.
@visegrad24 A number of Poles traveled to America to help during our Revolutionary War. I’m glad they didn’t dismiss it as a “regional concern.” He should remember this before insulting them. The existence of strong European countries probably upsets him & his third-worlder fans.
@deadbynextweek That was my first thought too. 49 million accounts run by a few guys in a small office. How many other farms of similar size exist? What if you had a warehouse full of these things?
@FKeubel@ISO19770 You would rather be part of an asiatic russia/china/North Korea group rather that be aligned with the US? What the hell happened to right-wingers in Germany?
@PoseidonsKrakn@IAPonomarenko@DougAMacgregor McGregor has a grudge because he was passed by for promotion in the early 2000s. With the “up or out” system he had to go “out.” Most American russia-lovers like him have something in their past and this is their way of “getting back at the system.”
@IlvesToomas@stephenwertheim@politico Want to bet that a bunch are Valdai and MGIMO stooges? Personally, I don’t place much value on the opinion of someone who works at the “Benedict Arnold Institute for Responsible Foreign Policy”
@RealAndyMerc @ukraine_map@visegrad24 They were able to put pro-Ukraine content in front of a right-wing audience. Regardless of my beliefs when it comes to their other stuff I think that has value in and of itself.
@Tenjed7 @albafella1 They are supposed to disarm themselves after a certain period of time. I’m guessing they were filming a segment with sappers showing EOD work and he took the parachute from one of the deactivated mines. As you can see, that mechanism isn’t always reliable lol.
@albafella1 POM-3 mine, only introduced ~6 years ago so this is one of their own mines. The guy in the video is holding one of the parachutes. This mine is activated by vibrations from footsteps so I’m not sure what they were thinking walking through a field that they knew had them🤷��️
@FunkerActual@ronnieadkins People really watch a clip showing insane professional skills and a man saving the lives of two people and their first though is “um actually it’s not graphic🤓☝️”
