Two weeks from the Too Weak President.
Yeah that's true... it was hard to tell anything from those sat pictures. I've not seen anything else except a report that Russia was saying the attack was Neptune missiles. I see what you are saying now. ๐
Must be Melania then.
It's hard to keep up, but must be this week haha
You -> "Were the flamingos... intercepted?" Me -> " ... struck Armiansk" You -> "I know..." ๐
His ear looks OK, ironically. The rest of him... not so good.
Tbh, if this is genuinely from the USA then it will be at Putin's request. Therefore, my best guess is, Putin is trying to get the west to push India and China closer to Russia.
There's damage reports from their strike on Armiansk, a barracks and 6 hovercraft damaged.
I agree with what you are doing with rail, but EU antitrust laws are working to encourage competition. Wouldn't an "independent Scotland in Europe" - I assume you mean the EU - be subject to privatisation of railways, at least to some degree? competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/sectors/tran...
Or CCTV and every passerby having a camera in their pocket.
They were already blocked by me.
That's an interesting insight. Thanks.
I have exactly as many fucks to give as Hungry has a supply of Russian oil. Zero.
Indeed, and certainly not "trillions". What a buffoon.
Absolutely. Panic buying is a very powerful problem. People will queue and drain petrol stations even where there is plentiful supply.
Ah, but it is such a small step from where your logic is to realise that people going against their human good nature and natural empathy is what causes their pain, conflict and turmoil. Go and follow the happiness training at the Greater Good Science Centre. They don't reject religion.
It really isn't. Unless you have a mind full of religious lies.
This is the truth.
Then you are very foolish indeed. Have you, by any chance, had you mind polluted with religious horse shit? Head over to "The Greater Good Science Center" at Berkeley University. It is all scientifically proven. Doing the right thing is second nature. But you won't because of yoursuperstitions.
Only atheists deserve to go to "heaven" because they are good for the sake of being good. They don't do good to secure their place in "heaven", they do good for the sake of helping people who are in need.
Correct
It really is.
Yep
It is. European rearmanent is well underway.
Nope. Europe is playing Trump for the fool that he is.
Europe is already out manufacturing the USA in arms. It was several years. Several years ago.
You miss one important consideration. Ukraine. They will never stop fighting. Ukraine has already won, it just how long it takes.
๐งต Reform UK are truly a bunch of ๐คชas a political partyโฆ.theyโve invited a known conspiracy theorist whoโs currently under investigation by the GMC to speak to their conference next weekendโฆ
Yeah, true, but it is a tradegy on many levels. ๐ท๐บ is willing to throw away life - tradegy. ๐บ๐ฆ is forced to kill and maimed everyone thrown at them, with injuries, including mental health issues, and even death, to themselves. ๐ท๐บ may succeed in forcing the front back, in spite of the Russian losses ๐
Russia's strategic reserve nearly exhausted. Don't know exactly without searching. Businesses forced to take on unsustainable levels of debt to stay operational & banks forced to give them low interest rates. Public services slashed. A house of cards, but no one knows when it will fall.
So this is Fox reporting on a story about a Vanity Fair cover shot that is totally fake and the story is how the right is loving how upset the left might be getting, if only it was a load of AI fakery BS?
Trump's attack on US democracy (a shallow and fragile thing to start with) is already well advanced. www.msn.com/en-gb/news/o...
Yep
I'm just messing with you ๐ but I don't understand Kyrillic script either. You just stick the letters into Google maps and it'll come up, even if the spelling is wrong, most of the time it works out what you mean.
I guess Google maps is broken on your device, haha? Yes, I looked on Google Maps for you, and it is near Kupiansk.
Defence to War Health goes to Illness Education to Ignorance USAID (International Development) to International Destruction US Access Board, US Privilege Board ACHP (historical preservation) is now the Concrete Council ANA (Native Americans), folded into the NRA. I'm not even joking.
Excellent comment. That is the entire issue.
I don't believe Russia and USA, both in the mess they are currently in, can effectively band together to out do the whole of Europe. Not in the end. I think France and the UK could defeat them alone, without the rest of Europe. It is still complicated and we are still scared of our shadows, true.
Whilst I fear this too...but, ultimately, Russia and the USA have sown the seeds of their own failure.
Hmm, diverted to Primorsk and Novorossiiky they say...
As Soviet as Vladimir Kamarov's death. He is known for flying Sozuz 1 into space, knowing it was certain death due to many design flaws, as did the entire flight control, because "orders from above". Today, Kamarov is remembered in Russia as a national hero for "duty, loyalty and sacrifice".
Wow ๐คฏ that is an insightful comment ๐
I agree that's possible.
I agree. They are currently signatories to the Non Proliferation Treaty. However, if they wanted a nuclear weapon, they have enough Plutonium, Uranium and nuclear expertise to create one within a year or so. It's a lack of political willingness to do it, inside and outside Ukraine.
Here you have the problem building for Russia... what to do with the oil when you don't want to block off the well heads and you storage tanks and refineries are on fire?
#perspective
My old man used to say "it takes two to tango" when he beating the ever living shit out of my dear old mum.
Good one. That is a better analogy. He might be right again in 5 minutes, or he might burn out altogether.
Zelenskyy not posturing. He is trying to save a nation and, by necessity, destroying Russia. But he is not doing it by choice or for the posing value.
A broken clock is right twice a day. Trump spews so much random crap, some of it must be true.
Two Weeks Guy. Or is it Too Weak Guy.
You are right. But then I see a video of a ๐ท๐บ drone operator FOR FUN dropping a bomb on a guy walking his dog. I watch the man limping, trying to drag the injured dog away to safety. I don't see you posting what a terrible war crime THAT is. Searched your replies for any such reply on any ๐ท๐บ war crime
Both the dog and man will have hearing loss too ๐ possibly permanent.
I afraid it is only Linsay Graham saying this, and he is constantly saying things that are positive about Ukraine, but are just fantasy.
No. Senator Graham talk BS all the time. He's not remotely in Trump's circle.
What the one where the reporter says, " you worn a suit this time" and Zee replied "yes" and then went on to make a joke "I changed but you are still wearing the same suit" and Trump laughed? That Oval Office meeting, where Zelenskyy wore a black suit?
Totally agree. Also, Zelenskyy went to the USA, wore a suit, and played the same flattery game as the other European leaders. The USA is losing its hegemony to the EU due to Trump's inability to use diplomacy. Rearming Europe is USA's loss ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Original article is BS opinion piece.
They can't mathematically. To gerrymander, they need to concentrate a lot of democratic votes together in few districts. The rest of the democratic votes get spread in safe Republican districts. They had it gerrymander to the fullest already. They can only put it back as it was, or risk it as it is.
Yes, I agree, ๐บ๐ฆ are doing a much better job with the Intel, or somehow getting better Intel.
Yes, good point, that too. I expect the have a very good network for communicating Intel by now.
I feel that, with all the statelites, recon drones and western help, like the British Rivet Joint flying recon missions over the Black Sea, that they know everything the Russians are doing. I suspect that Russia knows a lot of what Ukraine is doing too, but Ukraine appears to be winning that battle.
To be fair MAGA will believe it, so I guess thinking husband audience are idiots, he's onto something.
Yep. Pipeline to Hungry as well and the nordstream (although that's gas, both are being srvered) India has cut imports. Storage capacity getting hit. Refinery capacity down 13% plus all these latest attacks. Got to be a point that you have to try and shutter the well heads, and that's bad.
That was a different refinery, but who knows ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I expect they are told during training that the Ukrainians will do terrible things. Well he's in for a pleasant surprise then.
No one said it was a refinery. You could be right that it is LNG, but it is a cargo tanker loading terminal. I'll bow to your knowledge that it is LNG terminal though ๐
Trump statement about Ukraine having no offensive capabilities has aged like milk. If ๐บ๐ฆ does enough of this Trump will soon change to saying how Russia should never have invaded such a resourceful and determined country. ัะปะฐะฒะฐ ัะบัะฐัะฝั
Well, it's all possible, because they know everyone hates the couch fucker.
Article on our IHAT Report by @drjudystone.bsky.social You can read the report here: www.defendpublichealth.org/resource/imp...
It could be PTSD related to traumatic recent events or might be partly fear of what is about to happen. The jerking could break exacerbate by having his eyes closed Or it could be drug withdrawal. Most likely the 1st, PTSD.
Yep. All have we gotta do is be nice to each other.
To be completely out they have missed at least 2 tanker deliveries. There are supply problems. It doesn't matter so much as it is likely to cause panic buying.
Yeah, it's a big fire, but they might as well have missed it completely ๐
That is top trolling.
My friend I'm going to block you. I wish you well, but I don't need your ingratitude in my life. I tried. I agree with 99% of what you are saying, but you can keep your bad attitude. In 24hrs I will have forgotten you and I will continue to do all I can 4 ๐บ๐ฆ ัะปะฐะฒะฐ ัะบัะฐัะฝั and goodbye.
... invasion. Even political leaders and media commentators got it wrong AND changed their attitudes since. There is a more recent article on the BBC that completely dispells the Nazi myth. I do meet people who still believe it and I put them straight. We're celebrating ๐บ๐ฆ culture now. I am sorry
Yes, I know that is true. You can probably find old articles on the BBC about it, even. I remember some documentary, possibly it also implied that that Ukraine was starving seniors in the Donbass. We fell for it, even when Crimera was stolen. I am so sorry. But attitudes changed with the full...
The article you quote fails to mention the drop in overall fossiles exported to EU. I understand your frustration and apologise the west is not doing enough. Theere is Western pressure. Support is here, but we must do more. It is wrong for you to make statements inferring we are on Russia's side.
That's not even remotely true. The pressure on Russia has been there from the west. The west shut down Russian banking ffs. China opened it up again. US is a disgrace, but the western sanctions do not amount to "no pressure". Putin has an ICC arrest warrant. There is pressure.
True. It's a slow change over, unfortunately, due to supply side issues, but it will be sorted.
It's the small acts that make all the difference in the world. Just do what you can to help people you meet.
Wow. That's a big one.
So, erm, adjusting your position to match what the voting public want always strikes me as what our leaders should do. But it is always criticised. You might be right - just my observation.
I remember when the west detected that a Russian submarine had sunk and offered to save the Russian sailors - we had a specific submersible built just for it. Putin denied the sub had sunk until it was too late and let the sailors die. There an excellent video of Thatcher talking about it
The way Europe is ramping up military production, I believe that it will. Unfortunately we became complacent and are having to build new factories and warehouses. We are already outstripping US military production, with a great deal more in the pipeline.
I love the idea of Zelenskyy greeting Putin, while struggling to hold back an unmuzzled, yapping, police dog (or two). Did you know that Putin brought a dog to a meeting with Angel Merkel who has a phobia of dogs? www.bing.com/videos/searc...
What was that about being lucky because the Russians are something?
Nicely put. ๐
True true. I just offer it as a freindly tip, no one has to listen to me ๐
Trump just speaks randomly. His words do not match his actions nor the last thing he said. He doesn't have the intelligence to realise that he is condemning his own inaction in these words.
More fuel losses for Russia. BTW, it's "burned out", or "burnt-out". "Burned down" implies a loss of height like "the house burned down", and there is nothing left. If a shell or structure remains it is correct to say "burned out". "The house was burned out" means the walls are still standing.
...rejection
I came to say the same thing. What on earth does he think is acceptable about starting from a position of "we must be able to expand wherever we want".
This bugs me too, when people call the USA "America".
7 months in, sir. No. They see it. They simply do not understand what it is they see. They believe it can't and won't happen to them, even though everyone is seeing the processes to do it occurring in real time. Confidently ignorant is the new American Dream.
The next problem will now hit. Panic buying. Once that happens it's very hard to stop.
Trump completed 4 miles of new border fence on a 2000 mile long border with Mexico. He also upgraded a lot of existing fence - most of the border remains open and a large section is covered by a first nations reservation and cannot be closed. About 42% of illegal aliens simply outstay their visa.
They are repeating information from Russian sources.
