That account all over the place.. and what a signature on their account.
I'm not exactly PC but I'd hesitate to plaster a straight cultural insult at the bottom of every post.
Ukraine has made more progress since the start of this war in the fight against corruption (and possibly because of it, as it has given Zelensky much more power than he would have in ordinary times) that Russia will ever achieve because it's so interwoven into Russian society. Its Russian Corruption which is the cause of all its misadventures.
Ridding corruption in Ukraine would be like one of those reality TV programmes dealing with hoarders, a never ending pursuit. It will take generations due to spies, malcontents and outside pressures.
This posted yet? Confirmation is still not confirmed but few sources reported it
Seen this on Twitter. If it's true, they've been at this nonsense 250 odd years
It wuz the evil Americans whut done it, with their weather changing weapons...same as they are melting the permafrost, causing hotter summers and winters, creating food shortages to cause starvation and famines for the Russian People!! (but don't mention Chernobyl, or their dam busting activities.)
less ice caps ironically would help the russians in their frozen ports and lanes up north
Yes, but it's also said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. And look at how far Poland (and other ex USSR countries) have come in a relatively short time.
Queue an immediate video from the Russian side of the dude walking around smiling and shaking hands at an undisclosed date/time/location or on a conference call being propped up Weekend at Bernie style.
Taking all bets
They have already ready made big changes over the last ten years since this all started with Russia,the Americans have has had a big say since they started bankrolling alot of the Ukrainian public sector, there's going to be plenty of people who obviously Don't/won't want to see change others will just have be swept aside, but infighting among the Ukrainian political types could derail progress and not just on corruption
...
yes very doable when the boil has been lanced from your arse, no border.
Well, the priority now is to eject Putin's murderous bastards from Ukraine, and in doing so, make sure that neither he (Putin) or his successors pose a threat to a developing Ukraine. The next battle will be to reduce corruption and become eligible for EU membership. Once that has been achieved, Ukraine will be well on the way to achieving its goal of becoming a fully functioning independent state in its own right. Slava Ukraine.
Now that's a good wind up. Good job Ivan. 👏 No war for you.
Please God they continue taking ground here.
Anyone know how to turn signatures off on mobile? This one is fùcking ridiculously large and uncalled for.
It's an option on your signature settings, so you can remove images anyway cos yes, that user's signature is obnoxious.
Or ’ how does one go about eating an elephant?’ A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME.
I reported it, but seems it's OK?
Sounds like the Irish political setup except that we might have a more subtle approach . Francis Fitzgerald, Alan Shatter, Niall Blakey, Charles Haughty, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc comes to mind. So UKr do not have the sole rights to ‘political sculduggery’
The RuSSian propagandists bring on the poisoner of Litvinenko of the Russian polonium poisoning fame) to discuss them poisoning an innocent woman
Mod snip
Well, the first two on your list, Francis (sic) Fitzgerald and Alan Shatter, were exonerated by subsequent enquiries. And who is Niall Blakley?
All pointless whataboutery: every country has its rogues. Some try to deal with the problem, some don't: Ukraine and Russia respectively.
”Under his eye”
now why would Putin be floating these daft ideas if the country has “endless manpower”, mystery it is
Someone perhaps handed Putin a little sheet of paper with demographic projections if things continue they way they're going, at which point Putin's eyes boggled. Not much point running a mafia state if you don't have a population to extort / cajole anymore! Though the whole narrative that women breed children for the nation is all very fascist and then some.
What a cocktail: a huge chunk of the male population either gone through death, injury or emigration (leaving aside the lower life expectancy anyway), while presumably the female population has also started emigrating when they can. Even if you bought into the idea of the West as this den of decadence, at least you won't have the shít beaten out of you, or harassed into having children.
I don't think so no
..
What’s the story with these dots
do you go back and edit post in next 24 hours once thread moved on?
🤣🤣🤣😁 Exactly!!!
a bot collecting post count to claim later that they are here long and post a lot?
It can happen a lot if you only check in on the site periodically. You're a few pages back, reply to a post and then find that subsequent posts render your reply moot.
In the absence of any delete capability, the only option is to replace your post with "..." or "stupid effing vanilla doesn't allow me delete posts" or similar.
