Don't be so paranoid.
By the way that CNN thing is an opinion piece not news.
According to CNN: "The views expressed in this commentary are his own."
Now, now, you're not a NEW anti-Ukraine poster. You're an old anti-Ukraine poster. HTH.
It's a good thing that they got Libyan warlord Haftar because I was beginning to think that Russia's alliance was a cobbled-together collection of the world's malcontents.
I thought Bush was an idiot with his "axis of evil" shte but Putin isn't far off it for real.
Less not forget UBS/Credit Swiss are been investigated for allowing sanctioned oligarchs to move money
They will always be Europe's true nazis sympathisers
At least Bush was great for 8 years of Comedy gold
A sample of what it's like to be "liberated" by the Russians☹️

I really can't believe myself but after the "previous guy" and the bunch of oddballs currently in Congress, when I see G. W. now I think he wasn't so bad after all, because at least he's a normal human being. :)
Not bad. I was actually expecting worse from the "anti-democrat, anti-everything" party at this stage.
A few months ago we had one claim that the Russian army was actually performing really well and methodically grinding down Ukraine according to plan, it's the media who are misreporting.
Then we had a poster a few weeks ago who tried to pass himself somewhat subtler by suggesting that it's 'hard to know' if how this whole collosal blunder has played out is all part of the Russian plan.
"Then we had a poster a few weeks ago who tried to pass himself somewhat subtler by suggesting that it's 'hard to know' if how this whole collosal blunder has played out is all part of the Russian plan"
But in the real world of not involving propaganda both sides are being ground down and will continue to do so ,
Sure, but any claim that the course of the war is actually playing out according to Russia's plan is utterly comical.
This sounds like AI propaganda of Jordan Peterson. The argument seems to be too tiny-minded and in vogue to be really J.P.
Lilian on X: ""Everyone knew perfectly well before we started flag-waiving how bad Ukraine was" "Now $113 billion has been dumped into that economy with what I presume has been an extraordinary lack of oversight" When will this end? #UkraineWar https://t.co/qwwr7fjZBH" / X (twitter.com)
The same 10's of Billions worth of weapons and military gear that has Pakistan serioulsy worried.... this was something that they had not expected when they supported the Taliban during their 20 year exile. And to add to the headaches, there are 20 million Pashtuns in Pakistan. The Pakistani Govt will have to tread warily with Afghanistan now.
I long for the day when Jordan Peterson will finally, categorically, fúck off and leave the world alone.
Agreed, although I think zv2 is right about the AI. The video looks choppy, so either it's been cut and patched or is AI generated.
Either way, we get into dangerous territory when people who are as polarising as JP are being used for AI propaganda.
I remember hearing something in the wake of Sept 11th, about the US visiting the Financial wizards in Switzerland, and without mincing their words, told the Swiss that they wanted unfettered access to all the accounts, even the ones buried deep in the vaults, to track the money movements of any "Persons of Interest" they had in mind. And if such cooperation was not forthcoming, they were promised with financial equivalent of the twin towers attack. The Swiss complied, and opened the vaults.
When the universe conspires against you.
Pity Putin wasn't there.
Oul sods googling how to access Irish beef.
Another admission of planned genocide from the russians.
The same Pakistan who nearly got rolled by the same Taliban with a fraction of the equipment and weapons,and the same ones not afraid to stick it to the Iranians,
I'm sure there will be pushes from both governments to get Putin to relieve the Taliban of a large part of that equipment and weapons
Remember this meme from early last year, well......
I wish there was a Like button on Boards
Can Ukrainians please check your gardens for spare tanks , helicopters and anti-aircraft missiles.
There's a war on folks stop holding out
You'd have to wonder at Russians or of Russian heritage in Ireland reading this and what they think of their own people doing this?
Wouldn't you be telling everyone that could listen Not in my name. You'd be looking for some distinction that people that are not Russian to make them see that there's a distinction.
Even on boards here. I've never seen a post from a Russian in Ireland condemning the actions.
They are Russian and it's Russia first with them ,they don't give a second thought to whats been done to the Ukrainians
I doubt that's entirely true.
They're being molded into being monsters by Putin though. I'd agree.
However even in the depths of Nazism in Germany during Hitler. You had Germans abroad publicly opposed to what was happening back home. And they faced no less a threat than Russians abroad today.
So maybe.
Interesting but there was open warfare between Germany (et al) and the Allies at that time.
Only Ukraine is officially at war with Russia now.
Are there many Russians speaking out against their homeland amongst those now living in Ukraine I wonder?
I suspect there are (and vanishingly few supporting their country openly)
Here you are Ted....Quote:-
After the September 11 attacks, the United States Government did request access to account information held by Swiss banks. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), enacted in 2010, requires foreign financial institutions to report financial accounts held by U.S. taxpayers or foreign entities in which U.S. taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest1. The effect of FATCA is that one of the biggest benefits of having a Swiss bank account, secrecy, is no longer available to Americans1. The Swiss government has agreed to encourage Swiss banks to reveal the existence and content of accounts held by American individuals and businesses2. Banks that come forward and make required disclosures are offered protection from prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice2. Unquote.
NOTE THE SENTENCE:- The Swiss Government has agreed to encourage Swiss Banks to reveal the existence and content of accounts held by Americans and US Businesses' "
Now, Ted, just how do you think that the US Govt got the Swiss to break a 300 year secrecy rule, and "ENCOURAGE" Swiss banks to open their books to the Americans???
Well, It was from the Pakistani Madrassas that the Taliban originated from. A bit like a Putinesque set up. Taliban Govt in power, but answerable to Pakistan. Sweet deal. But as the saying goes, "He who rides a Tiger, can never dismount". And with 20 Million Pashtuns living in Pakistan, that's a well grounded fear.
