⚡The Ukrainian authorities have submitted a request to the Council of Europe for a partial derogation from compliance with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms.

It states that during martial law, human rights set out in the Constitution may be limited.

Such rights may include the right to think and speak freely, to express one’s views, the right to hold rallies, the right to freely leave and return to the country.

⚡Blinken says the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf must form an integrated air defense against Iran.

This integrated air defense will serve more to protect Israel than to defend itself against Iran.

Maybe you should goan read his reforms.

cutting off government expenditure by cutting the size of government and wastages;
blocked stealing of government funds, and attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through concessions, tax holidays, and improved ease of doing business.

Reading is not implementing sense...all the things he is doing have been done before by his predecessors...no politician has ever sucesseded in blocking theft in the government, not even USA. Shuting down ministries won't stop or limit spending since new ministries will be created with appointee to cover for the ones that have been closed.

What is the total FDI he has attracted so far? Dude dollarized the economy something they did in 2001 that back fired. Majority of his reform is going to lead to total disaster.



Jovi10:


Argentina runs a lean government by reducing the number of ministries, privatizing nearly 40 state-owned enterprises, and reducing wasteful spending.

Reducing number of ministries does not reduce spending...those are just myth we tell ourselves.

And you have to elaborate what you mean by wasteful spending.

Jovi10:


Which of these can our politicians do? Rather their salary has remained the same some even increased while the masses are told to make sacrifices but the politicians can't make any sacrifices?

Our politicians are corrupt just like their counterparts in Argentina ...But Argentina is more bleeped than we will ever be at the moment.

wasn’t the same Stoltenberg complaint about Russia displaying NATO weapons in Moscow, that NATO is not part of the war.

What kind of smoke was he smoking then?

Anyway, I don’t care about all that, but I’m surprised that our president and all his handbags flew commercial flight.
I thought they would die if they flew those kind of planes.
Imagine a nation having over 8 private jets for Presidential trips, black leaders are worst than the Europeans oooh.

⚡In 2020, Turkey tested its first Russian-made S-400 Triumph systems on F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II fighters.

The test results were not disclosed, but judging by the lack of complaints, it can be assumed that the country is completely satisfied with the systems.

The two batteries of Russian-made S-400 air defense systems are deployed at the Myurt airbase. They were tested at least three times on American stealth fighters. AviaPro news agency indicates that not only F-35 aircraft, but also more classified F-22s appeared in the detection range of systems.


The “targeted” American fifth-generation fighters were sent to rotation in the Middle East through the Black Sea and directly Turkey. Their route ran approximately 170-200 kilometers from the Turkish Air Force Airbase of Myurt. Therefore, the Turkish side had a great opportunity to test its S-400s for aerodynamic purposes.

This was not the first test of Turkish S-400 over American fighter: in November 2019, video footage appeared showing the testing of the S-400’s radar on F-16s and F-4E Phantoms.

This is not new na. cool

The real reason that prompted Turkey to go all in for the S-400 was the event that took place over the Euphrates in 2016.

After the brouhaha with Turkey following the downing of the SU-24, and then the US sending 57 Tomahawk cruise missiles directly against the Assad regime, the Russian missile forces in Syria declared that beginning from that day and onward, they would start targeting any plane that flies across and around the Euphare area, which include the Turkish and Iraqi sides of the area. A month or so later, a memo leaked by an insider revealed how the US DoD was complaining bitterly that "all" their planes (stealth and non-stealth) were being "painted" by Russia's SAM defense systems located in Syria. cool For those who understands the military terminology of fighter jets being "painted," you would agreed why they US was mad. cheesy

Well, the Turkish military that knows about everything that is happening in and out of the Icirlik airbase in Turkey where US strategic fighter planes were stationed, instantly seize the opportunity to buy the S-400.

And the US went even madder. cool

The Turks got to confirmed the words of the Russian general in Syria who said that, "...and the myth of invisible planes would be met with disappointing realities." cool. After that statement, Australia ran away from
Syria and the US and her partners in crimes stopped targeting the Assad regime forces directly. cool

It was after this reality that the US introduced the CAATSA law, which is aimed at discouraging states particularly in the Middle East and across Asia from purchasing the Sophisticated arms like the S-400 from Russia and other related advanced tech from states like China. cool

For you to know how potent the S-400 is, the US has on several occasions asked Turkey to give the weapon to Ukraine in exchange for several Patriots batteries and a place in the F-35 stealth program. Guess what...

The Turks told them to Bleep off. grin because they already knew from their findings that with the S-400, the F35 and F22 Raptors are flying coffins. cool

I've scoured the whole internet I've not seen a new US warship commissioned in the last 6 years.

Russia on the other hand continue to produce and commission new ships even as at yesterday.

Many people don't even know that much of the US gigantic military budget goes to maintenance and only a part translate into real new armaments. This practice in its current form is unsustainable and is one of the reasons the US would collapse like the Roman empire did.
