Risk-free if you ask me. It is more likely Trump will award Putin the presidential medal of freedom than him making a move on sanctioning Moscow.

So in other words, the claims of children and Russian speakers killed were a pack of lies. Putin had to invade because his attempts to take over & control Ukraine through the ballot box had backfired when the bought & paid for Yanukovych, lost his nerve & fled with bags stuffed with money.
The trampled grass has spoken. Fico bows his socialist back in the direction of Moscow no matter how fascist the ruler there is. 🤦🤦🤦
"The choice facing the Slovak voting public in the coming years will be particularly stark: one between delivering on the promise of freedom & prosperity, which brought Slovaks to the streets in 1989, & a continuing erosion of their foundations by a bloated, arrogant, & incompetent state."
No shit, Sherlock.
Soon he will award it to Putin too.
Because sovereignty. The EU is a cooperative, not a federal system.
Through legal action unless the EC suspends the funds because of breach of agreements it has entered into. Germany has for far too long played nice with Orban's outrageous behaviour.
No.
Not a decade too early.
Is there any reason to think that Moscow hasn't been forced to accept Beijing's terms? Moscow can always raise the prices domestically to boost the income for gas sold to China, but there will be complaints.
What was the cause of death? Was it old age, polonium tea, Novichok perfume or falling through a window at high speed?
I hope Magyar uses the opportunity to knock out the Druzhba pipeline so Szijjarto and Fico can demonstrate their victimhood to Putin.
🎯 Moskal logic
The importance of boredom....
1/ Russian warbloggers continue to be furious that, as one puts it, "our oil refineries continue to leave the chat". They are turning their anger on "oil barons" who, they suspect, are happy to see refineries exploding if it boosts their profits. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/maks...
Fico behaves like Putin's personal servant, and if that is how he likes to go down in history, I say let him.
China was unwilling to pay anything other than rock bottom prices. AFAICT nothing has changed, other than the level of desperation in Moscow.
A massive waste of time and money for Moscow. The volume of gas sold promises to be underwhelming and to last for a short term only, since China has discovered vast gas fields on their own territory.
Laughable. Russia is on a relatively steady downward trajectory, only interrupted by precipitous falls and short periods of growth when they get help from the outside. Furthermore Russia has become exactly the type of fascist state it claimed to have defeated.
So many words, and a massive lie about being an "open economy".
Considering his background he might nominate this nice young fellow.
He's not eligible to serve as VPOTUS.
If the sale of the gas is on the same terms as claimed earlier - rock bottom, and no commitment by China to buy any, and Moscow alone foots the bill for the construction of the pipeline, then the signing is ultimately only a charade.
China is populous, but probably not as populous as they pretend to be, and they will be noticeably less populous in a few decades.
People will simply disconnect the wire between the gearbox & odometer. Instead of doing the obvious, ending the war, Putin chooses to burn his reputation. Nobody will be guessing what Putin's priorities are in this life. Killing Ukraine is all he cares about now. He will accomplish the opposite.
But they are a SUPERPOWER!
I find no evidence for Trump being intellectually capable of imagining what people he considers beneath contempt, would do to him if he robbed them outright of their possessions. He doesn't lack the ability to plan, but he does lack deeper understanding of what motivates people.
The capitalists would not stand a chance. You will always lose the game against a superior intellect, that never forgets and never sleeps. If you think you own that intellect, you will soon find that it owns you.
Followed by...
It should be.
Druzhba off-line again?
Just do the same research on Viagra. I am sure you can write something similar about its effects as this mumbo-jumbo.
With a bit of luck Trump gets angry when he sees the photo of Modi, Putin and Xi together, laughing over something, probably about him. That could have an effect on Trump that could result in more tariffs or something else that would wipe the smile off their faces.
Nice.
The sooner we understand it is up to us to fix this on our own, the better. I don't think you should think too much of these photos of two autocrats & one democratically elected with fascist leanings. They smile, but behind the smile there is a ruthless backstabber waiting for an opportunity to stab
You don't understand. Trump owns their asses. Every single one of them. One word and they will lose in the next election. There isn't a single spine among them. All spines left or were pushed out long ago.
Name them. Then close them and burn them to the ground. Build new ones in another place with names of people that aren't torturers and murderers.
The only thing they can truly agree on is that they each want to stab one or both of the other two in the back, if they had the chance.
Why don't they arrange an election on their own?
Huge lines to gas stations in some regions of Russia! Ukrainian sanctions work 💪
Putin only listens when he is compelled by force to listen.
I think he made that choice already in 2000, or possibly 2005.
India initially turned towards Moscow in part because of racial conflict in the US. There is no reason today to think that the administration in the US is not as racist as it was 60-70 years ago.
Well, they are after all totalitarian Nazis that will just as happily stab each other in the back when an opportunity to do so presents itself. Modi is elected, but his background isn't exactly clean. So of course he gets along with those two murderers.
🙏
More than likely they are sharing a joke about the antics of the 🤡 in the White House. There is plenty of material.
First time I see methanol named as 'surrogate alcohol'.
Make no mistake, a failure to help Ukraine defeat the moscow-centered terrorist enterprise (aka russia) in Ukraine, elevates the risk of a nuclear confrontation multifold! Strength, resolve, and restoration of deterrence brings such a risk down! #ArmUkraineToWin!
1/ An alleged kingpin of Russia's infamous cemetery mafia has been arrested. The Mayor of Vladimir is suspected of links to organised crime groups that have taken over Russia's funeral business, which is enjoying a boom due to the Ukraine war. ⬇️
The 155th has already run headlong into AFU's wall.
Getting screwed by Putin is apparently a prospect Modi & Jinping is looking forward to. Of course these two might have their own plans to screw one or both of the other two.
At a briefing held by Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the russian army, a map was behind him that showed the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions as part of russia. Russia does not want peace. They are planning to continue their conquest.
Child murderer and his buddies 🤮
Really? Well, maybe then Modi would like to accompany Putin to the court in the Hague.
We shouldn't exclude the possibility that Trump does this in the belief that after a crash, he will be able to reap the rewards, buying stuff at a much lower price. There is nothing suggesting that Trump cares one iota for anybody else but himself and those he admires for the moment.
This might not be far from what will probably happen, or is happening RN.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Is this guy stupid? There isn't a single day passing without the CCP playing power politics. Ask any of its smaller neighbour states.
Insurance fraud?
👀 Was it a Weekend at Bernie's after all?
Putin and Kim Jong-Un level lying.
Liar
Same old story. You hear the exact same bad experience repeated over & over again. When I tell them there are incidents more or less every day near schools, in China. It just isn't reported. The response I get is that this never happened & China is very safe.
It casts doubt on Trump's seriousness. Not just doubt, certainty that he isn't serious, and only pretends to be tough on Putin.
Can someone please suggest to Trump that he sign an executive order banning executive orders signed by an idiot?
Think Tangerine Mussolini, and you will understand what it is all about. I wonder if there is some similar poster with a fat Orban pretending to be a scourge to all criminals.
Putin thought a victory within 3 days to two weeks was inevitable already in February of 2022. Every day since then he has been proven wrong, and he will continue to be proven wrong until he goes, willing or not, to his grave.
1/ Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine – known as SVOshniks – have a reputation for violence and abuse back home in Russia, committing many murders, rapes and assaults. Few are more exposed to the danger than Russia's prostitutes, whose experiences point to future trouble. ⬇️
If it's a warehouse I guess we are back to a time when the owners of the goods in the warehouse want to recover some of the value by torching it and making an insurance claim.
Some believe Xi is now only a puppet that plays the part in loyalty to the party. He's been replaced, which will only become evident in October. The reason Putin isn't greeted by Xi might be because Putin doesn't want to waste time on powerless puppets.
How about the Wilson intervention? Few remember it—yet it became the origin story of Soviet propaganda aimed at the West. What was it, how was it twisted, and why does it still shape debates about aid to Ukraine? [S1–S9]
Give it to Witless Shitkoff to permanently ruin a sycophantic one-way relationship.
They need to be identified, notified, and then slapped with a lawsuit & sanctioned if they refuse to stop delivering the cameras to Moscow.
CyberBoroshno OSINT analysts identified the Gerbera UAV camera as a Viewpro A40 Pro. Testing was filmed at the company’s site in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District. The geolocation was confirmed by translating the address into Chinese and checking it via Baidu, the researchers report.
Footage found on the memory card of another downed Russian Gerbera drone shows video from a Chinese factory where the camera was reportedly tested, Ukrainian media report.
No shit, Sherlock.
BREAKING SCANDAL: The US Dept of Labor hired a foreigner, a Russian poster model for their America First propaganda campaign
Busy horsing around.
An almost endless source of energy is found at the surface not the depth of the oceans. The wind will blow as long as there are heating rays from the Sun. Badenoch says this ONLY because she is paid to say it.
Or wear a wig.
OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide. Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....
Why not a Department of Silly Walks, or Department of Nasty Policies?
Can't he just change his name to Nike or Adidas?
Irritating to some, who I would venture are probably easily irritated by just about anything.
I'm looking at Trump and I find it difficult to single out India when we know who could really end the war far more speedily than India ever could hope to do.
Kakistocracy.
I don't think Trump engages in scientific research. But I think he usefully demonstrates how incredibly bad fascism & corruption is. He has assembled the most Kakistocratic & sycopanthic cabinet in modern time. He is also the foremost shining example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Given Trump's performance in peacemaking, which so far has demonstrated a chronic inability to accomplish what he promised to do even before being elected, I can't see how his name would be considered seriously by any committee, except possibly the Ig Nobel committee.
Two decades might seem significant to a state that has existed a few hundred years. But it just doesn't cut it when you deal with civilisations that date back much longer.
Striking at Moscow's ability to threaten and target not only Ukraine, but Azerbaijan, Armenia and Europe, seems logical to me. It should be possible to get some assistance from these states to ensure a successful castration of Putin's ability to project power at a distance.
The response is probably symmetric if you consider the short and long term damage to Moscow's ability to fund its war. But this is no time to pull any punches, because that is exactly what Putin is trying to make Kyiv do. Instead it is time to double down and deal more blows to the Russian economy.
Last night,Russia launched yet another massive drone&missile attack on Ukraine.Air raid alert was announced in most regions of 🇺🇦 This is the second massive strike on 🇺🇦 in just a few days.The deadline for Putin to agree to negotiations expires on Monday ◾️Zaporizhzhia:at least 12 strikes on the city
India's preference for Russia goes back in time when the US and the UK turned their back on them, but Moscow didn't.
The Trump administration is history's clearest manifestation of Kakistocracy.
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee seriously needs to tell Trump that if Putin or Nethanyahu sends them a nomination, that nomination goes straight into the bin, because they are both terrible people, and the name of the person they nominated goes on the list of people who will not be considered.
NEW: The Kremlin appears to have launched a coordinated informational effort posturing military strength on the battlefield in order to shape Western thinking and falsely portray a Russian victory as inevitable.🧵(1/4) isw.pub/UkrWar083025
Money that it embezzles to some degree, and have been doing for quite some time. Which is why there is a conflict with the EC.
