Total Swiss contributions to EU budget (2014-2019) was €2.2 billion. On a par with Norway (€2.1 billion). Miniscule? Nope.
That’s one way of looking at it I suppose. I’m not a fan of their amoral banking system, but i do kinda admire their f**k with us at your peril armed neutrality policy.
Over 5 years, that is basically nothing. Over the same period, Swiss exports to the EU amounted to €774 billion, so whoop de do, a piddling 0.28% payment for access to the common market.
The Orc Orthodox church in Ukraine is just a front for the FSB and the like.
The SBU completed the inspection of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
During the searches, it was discovered:
▪️people with passports and military tickets of the USSR.
▪️ pro-Russian literature, which is used during studies in seminaries and parish schools.
▪️over 2 million hryvnias, more than $100 thousand and several thousand Russian rubles
Yes espesially russian state controlled news
Russian propagandists are preparing the public for the withdrawal of Russian troops from the ZANP
Some Russian telegram channels have already started pushing the topic of the quick seizure of Zaporizhzhya NPP by the Armed Forces.
Fingers crossed they don't blow it up first. Hopefully US warnings against nuclear tragedies will stay their hand.
I'm amazed anyone in Russia takes Solovyov seriously. He's clearly a crank and spouting a lot of hot air and BS, rather than giving intelligent political analysis. Even Olga Skabeyeva over on the other channel seems more intelligent.
The SBU building in Kherson is so heavily mined with boobytraps they will probably have to demolish the whole building, rather than risk lives clearing it. Same had to be done with the national police building.
That being the case shouldn’t you be really aiming your ire at the EU for their supposed incompetence in negotiating these deals?
Update - it seems oul vladi wasn't meeting no ordinary mothers recently they are all regulars at his appearances .
Imagine that the Russian lying 🤥
[watch nerd] it's not the very rare factory set diamonds model. Typical rapper style where someone buys the "base" watch and throws a load of cheap stones at it. Still the base watch is going to be a 40k watch, probably paid closer to 100k after the backstreet "jeweller" got his cut(if there's 10k in stones I'd be shocked). Of course by doing all that he ruined the original watch and massively devalued it. None of this is a shock though. They are the Insta and TicTok army and regime after all[/watch nerd]
Note how he never meets members of the Russian public. In all the videos and pics this year, I don't think there has been a single one showing him meeting and talking to ordinary citizens (I suspect he fears being criticised or physically attacked).
Unfortunately this is Ukrainian positions being shelled with incendiaries near Bakhmut. My thoughts are with them.
Unfortunately......must try harder.
That doesn't necessarily mean that there are no instructors from NATO countries, though. The US, for example, has quite a few troops under NATO control in Europe, and also quite a few troops not under NATO control but instead direct Combatant Commander control. (COCOMS report directly to the US President).
I often wondered how difficult would it be to sabotage those gas pipelines in Siberia. I'd love to see it happen
Currently we have Nato forces evaluating the Irish defense forces over the last few days.
And that Timmy, makes them first class hypocrites of the highest order. Manufacturing arms and selling them but holding their noses and pretending that said munitions and weaponry will never be used. As stated, time for EU sanctions on our Swiss 'friends'. And cancelling of any military contracts with them, let them piss off with their so called neutrality.
It's all on Telegram. It's like whatsapp
That’s not good.
Just thinking of the lads under that while it reigns down.
He makes Lewis Prothero from V for Vendetta look tame
Its been happening nightly across ukraine since day one of the invasion
Horrible.
Pretty much dropping it across large areas,it's likely causing more damage to the land and crop's rather than people
I’m in the Ukrainian telegram group and the raw recordings are horrendous.
Horrible country, how the ordinary Russians can stand by and let this go on is beyond me.
Of all the various things going on, this is low on the list. No indication that that isn't a legitimate military target.
Close to a century of total propaganda and government control over every aspect of their lives,the population seem to be immune from seeing the horror being instigated on ukraine,
They are convinced that the leader is doing this to protect them.
There are no legitimate targets in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military are defending their country against foreign aggression. Yes it's war but I stand by my point that they're a horrible country.
I thought it looked to rapper vs money.
