Happy Birthday Joe!


Russian blogs write that Biden was the first to be congratulated by some kind of Alzheimer...

Only a European or an American could write such a thing



Could you get beyond that sentence? Or did you stop reading at that sentence?

China is in deflation already.
China is of little concern to me. When I went there as a tourist, I did not see any problems visually. Prices in their online stores have dropped, which is good for me. And the rest is their problem, they will sort it out themselves without my worries

Russian Ruble is turning to RUBBLE

Edit - The Russian economy tribute LINK

Only a European or an American could write such a thing. In Russia, they usually laugh wildly and answer with the question from the joke "have you seen Apple's capitalization?".
What are you showing? The stock exchange price, which is determined by stock speculators? It's like comparing numbers in a phone number, who has more.
I suppose you're going to think I'm crazy after this. And I won't even argue, I will only ask how much gasoline, gas, milk, eggs, steel and whatever else you buy for your good dollar and my bad ruble?
I didn't look specifically for bargains, just for gasoline, compare:
LINK and LINK
the rest is up to your taste.
Who was asking about PMC Wagner and Poland? Here's the Poles sending over

As long as Ukraine is capable of defending themselves, the West should enable them to do so. It’s their fight, but we can surely make Russia pay and pay and pay.

Russia doesn't need to be forced to pay. It's giving back what's been hers since the baptism. It's not a question of money. But what makes you agree to throw away billions that your country needs so badly and that will never come back is unclear. Janet Yellen recently submitted a letter to Congress with another date for a possible recession in the U.S., and you agree to send money to the fire.
Well, if you want to do it so badly, go ahead and do it. I just wish you luck with it. Only how many military men, including even American ones, recognize that Ukraine has no chance of military victory. While the U.S. risk of NATO collapse is increasing. After all, losing in Ukraine is not comparable to a triumphant exit from Afghanistan with evacuation of ambassadors from the roof by helicopter.

Over the last week, the Russian authorities have likely increased their ongoing efforts to disrupt Russian citizens' access to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Reports suggest many of the most popular VPNs have become unusable in some regions of Russia.

I've known about this for a long time. I can even add to your message. But it is unlikely to be interesting in this thread
I accept congratulations on the bombing of the headquarters of the 47th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
quote:

Harry Truman was right

Well then don't read the morals, it looks like hypocrisy.
And it makes you feel the same way.
You accuse the USSR that the Molotov-Ribentrop Act was signed, but you don’t see Hitler’s financing by industrialists from the USA and now you justify Truman’s statement
quote:

Uhhh… when communist are fighting fascist, we, the normal people of the world, want the fight to go on as long as possible.

Let the subhuman fascist and the subhuman communist kill each other off.

Not only will I pay to watch, I’ll be extremely happy with each and every death on both sides.

One less communist or fascist in the world is ALWAYS a great thing.

Damn didn’t realize we had so many communist and fascist fans on TD. Care to chime in?


I might have intervened, but for some reason I am sure that you, who consider yourself a "normal people", do not understand at all what the communist or fascist idea is.
quote:

Was Stalin avoiding war when he sent Russian soldiers into Poland three weeks after Germany did? Was Stalin avoiding war when he let German fighter pilots practice at Lipetsk so the Germans could get around the Versailles Treaty? When St as Lin executed 1000s of Polish officers was that another peace initiative? When Stalin invaded Finland in 1939 what was that about? Peace?

You either studied poorly, if you studied at all. You grab the tops without delving into the essence.
Comment it then


quote:

Get out of here with your BS. People that know history understand Russian motives

And now on the subject of the topic, so as not to divert the conversation to the side. Tell me now on the territory of Ukraine (near the border of Russia, I remind you, just in case, otherwise the formation raises questions), so on the territory of Ukraine there is a war of whom with whom? It's about "get out".

Pravda is paying you overtime eh?


I told them about it many times.
The owners there are greedy.
quote:

Well Poland’s border presence has been a response to their behavior and provocation, and it’s justified. Why would they not with what Belarus and Russia have said and done?

Well, double standards again. Who was justified? America or the UN, or let's say India or Zimbabwe?
Wagners appeared in Belarus much later than Poland pulled its soldiers to the Border. And our conspirators whisper that Prigozhin's demarche to Moscow was in fact a performance for your eyes and ears. The real goal is a plausible pretext for moving them to Belarus.

And then you know that before the transfer of PMC Wagner, the Poles provoked the Belarusians to shoot?
After the appearance of PMCs there, they also began to be rude to the Poles, but bolder. After that, provocations from Poland noticeably decreased.

quote:

Not a military guy, but it seems unlikely in this short amount of time Wagner, or anyone else for that matter, could whip an entire armed forces into shape.
Well, about the transfer of experience, do not underestimate the PMC. They managed to learn on their own and were able to train prisoners who had not been shot at all in a month or two. Which then quite qualitatively destroyed the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine trained according to NATO standards, including special forces. Well, I think you saw it yourself on the Internet. So if they were able to train prisoners, then they will be able to train regular military men.

Are you saying Niger to the EU or Libya to the EU. Libya to the EU already exists.

If it exists, then you are right. I was not interested in the details of whether it exists now or may be in the future. In this case, it doesn't matter. It is important that in any case, a military coup in Niger can put an end to this entire project. Similar to the explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines
quote:

Something you have a selective memory or education let us down. This is me about "Russia entered into an alliance with the Nazis"


Ruff, are you saying Russia did not enter into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1939?

Of course she concluded. Just look who BEFORE concluded such agreements. And you will see that the whole of Europe at that time had already called out its own.
Stalin sent Molotov to sign this agreement last of all, hoping to avoid war.
In general, it was strange for me to read this from an American.
Then I have a counter question, but who financed Hitler all the time from the very beginning of his ascent until the end of WW2?
Are they American businessmen?
quote:

’m not the one running g away from my history. You are.
Lest we not forget, Russia allied themselves with the Nazis.

They also waited until Japan was on life support to declare war and then came on like buzzards to pick their carcass.

Now you concoct some fairy tale. Get out of here with that. Russia is gated by Poland, Hungary, and all the others for good reasons. They are a ruthless country who stab people in the back and who will turn on as numbers to gain territory and power.


Who are you writing to about the stab in the back? Satdam Hussein? Or the bombing of Yugoslavia?
Look at least the WIKI and then tell me what other country fought so much? For example Iran or maybe China?

And how many years have passed since the Second World War, and the United States left the defeated Germany?
This list is endless. And Ukraine has been part of the territory of Russia since the formation of Russia. I assume that the phrase "Kievan Rus" does not tell you anything
quote:

You guys are bad. So bad that the last time you invaded Poland you had Germany go first and attacked them from the “back”.

Then ya’ll stood and watched as the Nazi tanks put down the Warsaw rebellion.

And you have the nerve to say Poland is soft?


Oh, stop pretending to be a virgin. It's like you guys are white and fluffy and you never do that. And the fact that you are pushing and forcing the Poles from Washington to fight and promising them part of the territory of Ukraine for this, because the Ukrainians are running out, don’t you think about it?

What about the fact that Poland cannot refuse the United States any political pressure if this decision is contrary to its national interests? Do you think this is a manifestation of hard?
Hungary, for example, stands out more or less harshly.

Most likely the Wagners will go to Africa. There is a lot of work for them


That was mentioned a little, specifically Libya, but yes that’s part of why I find it interesting. Is the “I thought Putin was paying” some sort of excuse cover both to de-escalate with Poland and to get them into Africa without functionally saying more.


As for Poland and reassure it with de-escalation, I would not think so. They write there Poles on the border concentrated about 300 thousand fighters. The Wagners passed on the practical combat experience of the non-belligerent Belarus and went to Africa just to pump it up. And far from the fact that it will be Libya. In Niger (this state), it seems that a contract has been concluded with him. And in that country there were uranium deposits for nuclear power plants and a gas pipeline to the EU was planned for this country. The gas pipeline was planned as a replacement for the northern streams blown up by the US.

Short thread saying Wagner is reportedly leaving Belarus because Lukashenko expected Putin to continue to pay for their presence there and he’s not. Who knows. Found interesting so I shared.
