"accuses Europe of hindering progress". No, he is accusing Europe of hindering the surrender of Ukraine. 😎 But I agree that it would be better for him to stay out of the negotiation process and concentrate into selling arms to Europe. The upside would also be that Ukraine gets rid of Witkoff.
Thanks; at Your service! 😊
Thanks; exactly. I did not manage to find that. 😁
Thanks: I have never heard that before.
Sorry but no. What does it mean? 👀
This can easily lead into fights on the streets with guns which would give Trump an opportunity to declare a state of emergency. Pity that also top management in the army is manned with persons who are loyal to Trump. I guess this is what Trump wants: no election because the emergency situation
- NATO looks more than difficult - EU will happen - support stays very strong. We understand very well with who Ukraine is dealing with.
A very good question. I hope the politicians let professionals in the army decide what is really needed.
Things are getting really bad. The judges in the Supreme Court make sure that everything Trumps does is "legal". I knew something like this would happen when Trump managed to nominate 3 judges during his first stint. 😐
Today's chef's special menu: roasted orcs 😎
It's always good to step on the accelerator with full force if You don't know how to drive the machine. 😎
😁👍
Looks like You are right. I have been confused because all republicans have been behind Trump's crazy and reckless policy. I thought that following the laws would be meaningful for them but it is not. I knew there were some MAGA-lunatics but I could not foresee that they can take over the party. 👀
That sounds more than serious. 😁👍
Good evening chooms! Yet another week passes as the politicians do their merry dance while the warriors struggle.. and we need to help them survive as best we can. Let's get to it: ⬇️
😁😅👍
Enough talking; here is the action ☺️ (104,40 €):

That's a good point! Fucking a sofa does not sound very scary. 😁
Trump's era is very disastrous to the whole world. It's like sitting without a driver in a car which will be going in full speed off the road. 😐
To be honest, that event with anti corruption entered to my mind when I was reading this news. Anyway, this is a case which must be examined very carefully and openly.
I agree; he's as bad as Trump or maybe worse. 😐
Maybe he has a plan called "something terrible happening" in his pocket already? 😎
GUR MO "Chimera" unit provided with a reliable 4x4 vehicle. May their hunt be swift and successful 🫡 P.S. who recognised the 📍? ☺️
US's democracy is sliding down the hill as fast as a housekeeper from an icy tin roof in January. 😎
That what good allies usually do, right? 😎
This is exactly what I and many others have been saying all the time in here: his incompetence is overwhelming. 😎
A criminal specialized to steal cars noticed that his car was stolen. His friend asked him how much money did he lose. - let's put it this way: I lost the same amount of money that I consumed while getting it. 😎
I have a pessimistic view on that because Europe should start to sanction also China sooner or later. But on the other hand: a pessimistic individual gets never disappointed. 😎
I guess it's only about person who happens to own TV-studio and other companies. I agree it's very difficult to see connection between those companies.
I agree. This is again some kind of Russian "play the time"-game: the Turkish diplomat was just another person who has misunderstood everything or they deliberately gave him false information.
😁👍
I guess we will soon see what the real situation is.
So, news from Turkey seem to be far too optimistic. 😎
That's true but I have a bad feeling that background checking in Slovakia is not in the same playground than it is in other EU countries (exc. Hungary).
I agree. If the people don't kick Fico and Orban out in elections, then they should leave EU.
😁😆😅 Auuutss! 😂
I have been wondering the same. Maybe it's only because "Obama has it". 😁
😁👍
Would be nice to hear that directly from Putin's or Lavrov's mouth. 😎
It really looks like that! 👍
I agree. Trump is still trying to "make a quick deal" which does not work in challenging peace processes. I have also been supporting the idea that Nobel Committee should reject Trump in beforehand because his negative deeds towards democracy and many different international organizations.
That is like a comedy show! 😁😅😂
I guess it's the same here at least in cities, but on the countryside it's impossible to control it. Hunters use to feed capricorns during the winter and some photographers do carrions for photo shooting bears, which sometimes are also checking people's trash cans.
"We don't want Russia to conquer the entire country" reveals his shady way of thinking. 😎
Here’s an update for Belgium Battalion 8! 🇧🇪 🇺🇦 Right now we’re at € 5,567.70 / € 20,500 which is 27% completion Our friends in Belgium and the 69thSB are raising funds to provide 🇺🇦 defenders with a #NAFO Truck 2.0! You can learn more here - boosts appreciated!: 🔗 www.help99.co/patches/belg...
Have You reserved some snacks to her? I guess she could eat at least cat food like hedgehogs do.
If someone would have done that at my management group's meeting I would have considered it as mocking. 😎
If he is not dumb, I would really like to know why he acts and talks like a dumb. Peace negotiations under difficult circumstances is not a random real estate project. Smart guy would have understood it and said "no thank You, because I have no expertise on that".
So, I guess there's no need to get more of them. 😎 How many of Russians living abroad are really Russians? Some have lived abroad long time, some has dual citizenship. Of course nobody knows their present motives. But I think it's bigger risk to get unwanted individuals now than before the war.
Thanks! His name is familiar but his face was not. Looks like I have not missed anything. 😎
Who is the guy in the right frame? 👀
That is very, very bad. I don't know is there any possibilities to drop Slovakia out of Schengen area. If not, I suggest that every country starts frontier control. We can not let those "tourist" walk around Europe without further control of their movements.
Right! The problem is, that anyone who comes after Putin can be worse than him. That's why Russia must be beaten on the battle field and war criminals (if they are still alive) must be taken to the court. Only after that a new start from a clean table is possible in Russia.
right ... and in some extend on India; both of them now supporting Russia.
Now they/we must really start to learn the lesson; sooner the better.
You are right. Hope EU can do better than so far. It has all the means for that. Only thing that seems to lack is a little extra courage.
I generally don't understand that a big economic area like EU acts like a banana republic and is afraid of everyone. AI: In 2024, US had the largest GDP at approximately $29.18 trillion, followed by EU at around $17.9 trillion and China at approximately $18.4 trillion. Russia's GDP $2.41 trillion.
And of course everyone of them is stone cold sober ... 😁😎
To start with! Then a bunch of former SU countries, UAE and Hungary. I guess India too, but it has already extra sanctions. And then there is of course usual thefts and smuggling which is not included in custom statistics.
Yes. I posted while ago an opinion of one Norwegian entity. The main idea was that Trump has worked so much against democracy and different international institutions which makes his possibilities next to nothing. But still some cock suckers trumpet him as a nominee for the prize. 😎
I agree it is there and they only wait that Trump starts pressing Ukraine and Putin gets the peace he likes. But that kind of case makes sure that Trump will be very disappointed. 😎
Splendid idea but maybe they should be used only against empty tankers for obvious reasons. 😁
We all know which countries are doing this circumvention business. So, what's keeping EU waiting? It can be done very easily by comparing export of certain items between 2021 and 2022/2023/2024 and 2025 to those countries. Every western custom officials know who are those villains.
Unfortunately this will not happen unless EU is willing to start to play the game with the same rules that Russia does.
While US leaders are preparing more TACOs, 🇺🇦 forces are doing everything to drive up the costs for Putin's henchmen. Are we doing the same? How about supporting the steadfast defenders of Pokrovsk with much needed power stations? Pls join us, €1.8k to go: euromaidanpress.com/lets-support...
It's not a good business to make military equipment and send them for free to Ukraine where they will be destroyed. It's worse than burning dollars in an oven. Burning operation can be done by a single man but destroying equipment needs more than 1.000.000 eliminated "workers". 😎
Same is happening in here also and it has been decided already. Phones cause too much disturbance during the teaching.
The police was listening to Captain Vadatchkoria's phone. In the call, the captain talks to the shipping company about a "list" that appears to contain the exact locations of the Eagle S at the time of the cable break. It was agreed in the call that the list should be destroyed.
Eagle S’s “black box” had been dark for about a week when the ship’s anchor began to cut the data cables. Has the ship had both anchors set during the entire time it has been in Finnish territorial waters? Both anchors up and secured, mate Chauraria said for about 4.5 hours after the cables broke.
... The Open Society Fnd, founded by Soros: - These accusations are outrageous and false. The Open Society does not support or fund violent protests. The network supports freedom of expression and peaceful protest. These are the hallmarks of a vibrant democracy, the representative added.
Trump writes that Soros and his “radical leftist” son should be charged for their support of violent protests and much more. In his writing, he refers to the so-called RICO law, which prohibits participation in a criminal organization. 👀
Yes; unfortunately that's also possible. 😐
I agree. For some reason he came out with this "nothingburger".
A good point! 😁
A good addition to our lakes (over 100.000). 👍 Finland was prepared to do the same in WWII if SU would have been able to break through the main defense lines in South-East Finland.
It surely is. As far as I know Russia has stopped publishing certain statistics which tells a lot of the situation.
Yes, at the moment. I really hope that next election will drop Orban and his party out of political power.
What has Hungary to do with frozen Russian assets? Does that mean that part of Orban's "secret" Russian origin assets are in danger? 😎 Would be nice to know how much money Orban has got when starting this operation? 👀
Ball licking at it's best. 😁
That's how a real crisis look like in Belarus. 😎
If Germans think that cession of territory is right, then why the same Germans wanted East-Germany back? 👀
Whining seems to continue. I already said that Hungary should start to find oil from new sources instead of these messages. 😎
⬆️ - Look, mommy! A beautiful sun rise. It's going to be a warm day. - No, son. It will be extremely cold winter. 😎
That is really hard to understand and hard to watch. 😐
That's the most stupid reasons ever. When USA and Germany were not accepting Ukraine's membership, there were no reason to think otherwise. Germany wanted to have cheap energy and therefore to have good relationship with Russia also in the future. That's not even close to the real reasons.
Fortunately I don't own Exxon's shares. 😁
😁😅
Like President Stubb said: Putin has failed in every single strategic targets in Ukraine that he has.
😁 "great common sense and a smart person" 😅😂
I met an old classmate who was bad at math but I saw that he had become a successful businessman. -How did you do that? -I only take a one percent profit; I buy things with an Euro and sell them with two Euros. 😁
And the preparations will take about 3 Years, right? 😎
I have a feeling based on statements of local politics that "join peacekeeping mission" is not understood only as "send troops" but also supporting the mission in other ways.
OK; I guess I just found The Grand Master of The Bio Mosquitos. 😁
You nailed it! That's how he really is. In fact he tries to make business with Russians instead of negotiating a proper peace initiative. 😎
Right! 👍 I think too that Mr. Witkoff don't have any idea what he is doing. Zero experience in politics = zero results in politics. 😎 It looks like he is more interested in business possibilities with Russians than peace in Ukraine. No wonder he manage to mess everything.
Exactly! He is just playing time, Trump and Witkoff. 👍
I'm starting to believe that Mr. Witkoff really is as dumb as he sounds when he speaks. 😎
