Dying down of Israel-Palestine out of news cycle, 2 year anniversary, plus a slightly new tact from Ukraine of being more open about their issues.
In a word.... outstanding.
The plain truth has a lot of mileage against the lying Russians.
because unkel sam disagrees with it
lol😂

Spanish flu ended the 1st World War. Surely someone can infect Russia with some form of contagious knob-rot and be done with the cunz?
That's a fair point. I suppose it goes back to the question of - "well, if the entire of Europe is essentially under attack from Putin, we should be less precious about taking economic hits". Not suggesting we should torpedo our own economies, but, maybe we've been a bit too precious about slapping on the sanctions?
Anyway, better late than never and hopefully the pain kicks in soon.
And no, I'm not sure I'll ever fly Aeroflot again 🤣
And I was sure it was the "classic KGB one punch"
They still killed him by putting his health in danger for years. Blood clots can happen if you are locked in solitary confinement without sufficient exercise.
No surprise here
Well that flu went on to kill 50 million and we now have five times the population. Disease doesn't respect borders as we saw with covid.
Ah now, I'm not talking about a deadly virus, just one that renders the mickey sore, swollen and weeping. I tell ye, with a contagious mickey virus knocking about there'd be none of that covid-denying nonsense. Everyone would be masked up to the nines and the airports closed straight away. Ye wouldn't even touch a vodka with a 10ft bargepole. Ye'd be reading Chekov with your legs crossed.
If that's not enough to topple a party nothing is
🤣🤣🤣
I don't think it will matter a jot to them
Whatever about flying Aeroflot a few years ago, before the war, when at least the planes (Boeings) they were flying were reliable, not a hope of a snowball in hell would I fly anything now in Russia, and especially not Boeings, when they are having to cannibalize them for parts to keep them flying.!!! Not even with all the free Vodka I can drink Nyet Spassibo!!!😕
Red Cross visits are strictly controlled, by in this case, the Russian Government, who as sure as hell are not going to let an organization like the Red Cross into their POW camps, and when you see the condition of the exchanged Ukrainian prisoners, and hear what they have to say about their ill-treatment you can understand why the RC don't have access, Geneva Conventions or not. BTW, its the RC who handle most if not all POW exchanges.
I still donate to them, but I agree they are (almost) useless in this situation. In fairness, what can they do with Russia now? Russia have pulled the rip-cord and jumped out of the plane as regards these kinds of multilateral/global institutions.
I think they don't give a shít about their obligations under any treaties they have signed (right up to level of most serious ones where breaches may threaten future of humanity - nuclear weapons, biolgical weapons etc.).
They only stay in these bodies to use them to attack their "enemies" as they see it; e.g. they way I think they used their permanent seat on the UN security council to haul Ukraine up every now and again.
Heartbreaking and frustrating for the Navalny family. Explains the timing of his murder anyway.
And now Leningrad is being mentioned for inspiration.
No more than the keyboard patriots here, "funny" how bullish those safe from ever seeing a frontline, or privation, can be.
Putin seems to view NATO as a paper tiger and if a baltic country is attacked he thinks that NATO will do nothing. Maybe NATO needs to show its teeth by expediting Moldova into the alliance, stationing troops and armour there and daring Putin to do anything, the small russian force could do nothing except leave. Then Putin would know that he can't do anything about it and it would prove how weak he really is and put to bed any notion of attacking a baltic country
The problem is that part of Moldova is ruled by pro-Russia separatists who are supported by Russian 'peacekeepers'. NATO doesn't accept countries that have ongoing territorial disputes, e.g. Cyprus.
