Didn’t happen in a vacuum though, did it.

Do not confuse me saying that with sympathising with Hamas. It is possible to recognise that both sides have bloody hands, and have done for decades.

Yes. This is a inflammatory headline purely to try and push an agenda.

There was literally a poll a couple of months ago that showed something like 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of not having elections.

Not to even mention that Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and per their laws disallows elections. And don’t even get me started on the entire premise of running elections in a country where a quarter of the landmass is under enemy occupation and the logistics of getting votes from 100s of thousands of deployed troops and the serious security concerns of the election itself from Russian attacks.

In my opinion Newsweek have just outed themselves here and the question is for who?

Those of all castes are fighting on the Ukrainian side.

But there is no chance. Lavrov has done nothing but talk complete and utter shit from day one. It’s his job as Putin’s lap dog. To create sound bites that Russian supporters can latch on to.

He knows he’s talking pure shit, everyone with an actual brain knows he is. He doesn’t care that the world laughs at him when he moves his mouth. Because that’s not who he’s speaking to.

He’s speaking to the Tucker Carlson/Fox News/GB News/other nation’s equivalent type troglodytes who think that Russia are doing the right thing and blah blah blah.

It’s all propaganda.

Imagine if Goebbels told you, as a Jew that if you wanted your kids back all you had to do was travel to Berlin. Pinky promise! Of course you wouldn’t even give it a second to consider. You would know it was complete bullshit.

That is exactly what makes this ‘invite’ from Lavrov so fucking insidious.

Because it makes it look like you don’t care about your children if you don’t. It’s a yet another weapon deployed by a side that are constantly firing all kinds of weapons.

It’s really sad. And a difficult situation.

With one hand Ukraine is absolutely fighting for it’s very survival and needs the population available as required to call up for manpower. This is a very attrition heavy conflict.

But also, I appreciate that there are many that just don’t want to go to war. Even if they’re patriotic or anti Russian, they may certainly have their complety justifiable reasons.

Fuck Putin and his supporters. Fuck them all.

Strange video…it’s just the ‘military voice guy AI’ reading a script over some random footage. It doesn’t any relevance to the war movie like script synopsis you’ve put in the description.

Nonsense.

It was practically the entire automotive industry, not just VW.

They got the namesake simply because they were the first to be exposed for it.

Seems like the only way Russia will actually pay for the damages if they think they’ll be keeping it.

It would be quite the win if Ukraine manage to take the territory back even partially rebuilt. We know that Ukraine have a policy of avoiding costly difficult offensive operations into obvious hard points and cities (selecting to go around instead). I imagine, all going well, if they were to find themselves in a position to liberate the Azov coast then they would try and set the conditions for a Kherson style Russian ‘nope’ retreat to avoid an encirclement.

Russians are still holidaying in Crimea. The propaganda is seriously strong on those that don’t want to see through it.

Reminds me of another far right mouth piece.

Russia taking notes from the Israelis, I see.

How much do you wanna bet that he won’t, save for a select couple of cases that they’ll publicise the ever living shit out of before quietly never speaking of it again

I wonder if this is a ‘disguise’ to cover up just how much he’s been rinsed by Putin for these things.

Aside from the TEL warheads the rest are all things the Russians are burning through and lack the adequate production of.

That railway line through the tiny NK/RUbborder must be wearing thin.

Sure, I was being hyperbolic in my language.

Well that would be the logical thing to do.

Kick of the heavier passengers and they don’t have to remove as many total people. Which is overall better as you’re creating travel problems for fewer people.

Although unless you’re like 20st then it’s unlikely that it would matter a great deal whether you pick the weightier people since they’ll be making the calculation based on a formula that attributes a set value to passenger weight.

Just hold your breath or breathe through your fingernails.

But the Counter Offensive hasn’t started in real anger yet.

Ukraine forces are still conducting counter battery and creating toeholds in the defence lines where they can use as a spring board for the actual breakthrough.

They’re trying to get the Russians to commit their reserves across many parts of the front, I image. Then when they do start their offensive in force they’ll be able to get some immediate momentum.

Lead’s affects were well known, just ignored.

Aspartame is no different to any other food or substance we’re exposed to. You can’t buy anything in California that’s doesn’t have the ‘Known to cause cancer’ label on it.

Honestly, the rise in the diagnosis of cancer in industrial humans is a result of living longer and not being killed by something else.

Basically, what I’m saying is that as long as you live in moderation and overall healthy, a couple of pints of Diet Cola a day or a bottle of wine on a weekend isn’t going to kill you.

From annectdotal experience, the people who get the most knotted up about this stuff probably sit down all day and eat absolute crap. The aspartame is not the thing to worry about in that equation.

Aspartame has been in common usage as a sugar alternative for literally decades.

If it was harmful or potent enough to be dangerous on a public or individual health risk then we would have certainly known about it by now. At this stage, even WHO, are saying it’s needed in HUGE concentrations.

Diet sodas aren’t the only things that we consume that contains aspartame. And aspartame isn’t the only thing we’re exposed to that has been linked to cancer and other deseases.

Just get on with life, enjoy what you enjoy in moderation. Don’t put too much thought into it otherwise you’ll just end up living in fear and avoiding everything.
