That's bullshit. But I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly make out a fact from a dictionary definition when in fact the point originally was something else.
Well if you say something "literally" happened, then it happened exactly as specified with no room for interpretation.

Which is not what happened at all, what Biden did was completely different to what was said.

So yeah, that's bullshit.

you should as Several Russian source saying Russian banks are hours away from folding..so get your invoices now before Russia declares bankruptcy

I think that is wishful thinking, russia has several options available to prevent that.

elieve I've once mentioned WW3 in this thread, take it up with someone who has. And again, it's obvious that if anyone were to spark such a massive conflict, it'd be someone mentally unstable like Putin, who is currently slaughtering civilians in Ukraine. Unprovoked too, not that that should matter.

What do you class WW3? During the cold war we thought of that as a nuclear war, but it doesn't mean it has to be. War has changed considerably, at one point all you could do was stab each other then you launch bits of metal at each other.

We could just end up hacking each other and financially strangling each other.

Or maybe there will be more combat, but it's kinda outdated.

When the head of HUGE Russian BANking system.. says nope and tries to bounce… its a clear sign that its over. Don't be supprised when Putin blames her for the failing banks.

And the fact
Banks are worse shape then Russia admits, many normal Russian are unable to get anything out

This Russian was able to get "Some Money" less then 25% of what he requested, but it was also because he had an appointment set up days ago.. other are not able to get more then $10 out.. and when a MCD's cost 40,000 rubles as of last night ..its donee

Kerch Strait incident.

Yeah I know. If Trump was supporting Putin right now, I would have given him the middle finger as well.

Thing is, right now, USA was a major ally in WWII and socialists are slowly destroying that legacy now.
Speaking of allies, Trump was the one who wanted to weaken Nato.

So you defenetly putin trollbot, there is no evidence in these videos, and the videos themselves were made by Putin's propaganda. Министрество информации ДНР ... no comments.
At this point any thing @Dark Ronin, is from a Kremlin approved script.. just wait a week or two, when Russia collapses and China Purchase Russia wholesale. he will just be paste whatever the CCP wants

I honestly do not think he is anything more but a Russian who supports his country's government. Does that make him evil? No, not really. Even if they are misguided its their belief and depending on their situation and raising its probably what narrative makes the most sense to them mentally. You really can't blame those who fall into that narrative, as we have more than a few that have fallen into similar narratives here stateside. Its a failure on both sides, to prevent this shit from growing the way it did and to accept it as a natural form of fact when there are greater truths worth seeking beyond the wall.

That said I do believe we have a "wumao" in this discussion here with us, I will not name who but their comments have been mostly not reactionary to others and instead have been solo posts in support of the war on Russia's end with blatant, broken English.

That or they are just a troll trying to get a rise out of people here. Either way I do not think Ronin is any of these. He is just a man that believes his government. Honestly speaking its no worse than when we went out in Iraq in the early 00's for entirely misguided reasons and people thinking it was the right and patriotic thing to do especially after the attacks. We were swept up into it until it became clear that we did not have a justifiable reason to be in there.

Richard Spencer is on Team Ukraine. He thinks it is a paradigm shift and hopes it will rekindle the Western, i.e. white spirit. This conflict might unite Europe in a civilizational struggle against the Russians who define themselves as anti Western. He thinks white people are mistaken in cheering on Russia and calls them traitors. He is excited that the Cold War is back and that people - without admitting it openly - care about this war more than others is because it affects white people. He thinks wokeness will take a back seat in the face of nuclear armageddon. He predicts a partioned Ukraine with the western part joining NATO (while losing a lot of its territory).

I hope I did not misrepresent his thinking.
How does it feel to be on the same team?
The facts are: In Ukraine, Soviet flags on tanks are about to encounter troops with Nazi symbols. It is not the norm but this symbolism is telling. The war about Eastern European resources and land masses is back.

I think his analysis is deep and deserves more attention. But I am not on his team.

the issue is 99% of the world is showing the Reality of the War, and Im sure he is not located in Russia Directly. So you knows he has seen what outside media is saying ...... being Patriot and ignoring War crimes is completely different. ( many in USA protested and were strongly against WAR, but guess what Washington did not lock up everyone for 15 years )

I'm not saying that the russian banks are doing well. Look back at 2008 and a load of banks weren't doing well.

The question is whether they will be allowed to collapse.

People rarely consider themselves as evil, it's usually a misguided belief.

Neither Hitler or Putin will have considered themselves as evil.

Drug addicts, rapists, muggers, etc will all justify their behavior. Everyone is the good guy in their own movie.

He just was sick of NATO allies not paying their share. If shit went south like it happened now, and they started paying their shares, he would be happy. I think Putin was quite terrified of doing anything with Trump in power, because Trump was very unpredictable and crazy. I legit believe Trump would have gone to war with Russia over Ukraine, likewise with China and Taiwan. Trump is crazy enough to do it, and they know it.


Also, does anyone else remember when the world flipped out at Trump, because he took a phone call from the Taiwan President?

"doing well" is a fucknig under statement .. This no where near 2008. the USD only last roughly 4% value during that time direct...

The Ruble is at 60% value lost.. and the only reason it has not tanked worse was because Putin is too much of a coward to open the Russian Stock Market.. the moment that opens it will will be near 0.00... We are talking end of the Russian world Banking situation. not 4% inflation the US Market faced
4% vs 60%??

I used the word "yet" for a reason. Although, I don't know how the big American boys on their big trucks will react with few cents of raise on their beloved and holy gas. Here some say that it will not be a big deal, some disagree. But you obviously are in a much better position to tell than me.

My personal feeling, based on nothing concrete, is that more angry the common American gets with the gas prices, more drastic measures against Putin they will support.

Oof, didn't think you'd just straight-up admit to being a corporate bootlicker like that. Rough life being an unapologetic capitalist with no capital.
And you bootlick for the left. Actually, you're worse since I'm pretty sure you'd spread your ass cheeks wide for them. You're one of the prime examples of an NPC shill and yet you call me one. That's like a serial killer calling someone who supports the second amendment a murderer. It's truly laughable at this point and why I gave up trying to argue with people with their head so far up their ass they almost choke on all the rancid shit they consume.

The problem is that the common american is going to be bombarded with propaganda against Biden. They''ve been pinning gas prices and inflation on Biden, and this will be too. But I don't know if it'll matter much to the situation outside the US.

most Americans already know its BS, but the Far Right wants to Blame Biden for the SUN Setting each day

Big oil with Rather just Paid Foreign nations More Money and then double the increase to Americans,
