Will you shut up there. It's like you want me to yab US abi. Ordinary balloon they cannot shoot. They spent billions for 20 years replacing Taliban with Taliban. They funded ISIS in Syria to overthrow Assad. Instead, ISIS crosed into Iraq and tried to overthrow an American installed government. Who did they beg to help them fight ISIS in Iraq? Their arch enemy, Iran. Putin is in Russia to stay anybody that doesn't like him can go and die. Putin will keep going on in Ukraine until those Nazi thugs stop threatening Russia and stop their genocidal campaign against Ukrainians. US has lost all respect. Many of their allies are gradually abandoning them. They blew up Nordstream and destroyed the economy of Germany for selfish interests. Western media always saying rubbish.

Russia will keep going from strength to strength. When God blesses you so much that even your enemies are forced to acknowledge. If e pain you go and hug transformer.

And one dumbass is saying German economy is not dead. If Russia with millions of sanctions could outperform them, then they are just useless and their ally, US is the cause. All countries should learn from Germany and Ukraine to know how US treats allies. Una never see anything, Una eye go red weller.

Stupid, ignorant dunce. When you don't know your history, how will you not reason like a DONKEY and claim all your ancestors did was build artefacts?

You're so stupid and ignorant, you don't even realise that the Africans enslaved were skilled in a variety of professions and industrial skills which they had perfected in Africa, and that they helped build America.

''Though slaves in the Americas are typically portrayed as either field hands or domestic servants, many slaves were in fact skilled workers whose crafts were a vital part of the American economy, particularly in the antebellum South. There is ample evidence for skilled African and African American slave labor, including the manifests of slave ships, which identify artisans such as wood-carvers and metalworkers. Records of sale from the early years of the slave trade through the mid-nineteenth century indicate a higher price for skilled individuals. The narrator of Fifty Years in Chains; or, the Life of an American Slave, describing a slave auction, relates the sale of several skilled slaves: "a carpenter … and a blacksmith [who can] put new steel upon an axe or mend a broken chain … and a good shoemaker, well acquainted with the process of tanning leather" (Ball 1859, p. 99).

Skilled slaves arrived with knowledge of a wide range of traditional African crafts—pottery making, weaving, basketry, wood carving, metalworking, and building construction—that would prove valuable in the Americas, particularly during the preindustrial colonial period, when common household goods, such as thread, fabric, and soap, were all made by hand. Colonial labor shortages and a general scarcity of goods intensified the need for skilled slave labor.

Some planters required slaves with specific skills and were willing to pay slave traders a premium for them. Rice planters in the coastal low country of South Carolina and Georgia, for example, were willing to pay more for slaves from Africa's Windward Coast (present-day Senegal to Côte d'Ivoire), as these individuals were skilled in rice cultivation and processing. Their skills included the ability to weave winnowing baskets and to carve wooden mortars and pestles for processing the grains of rice.

During the colonial period, traditional African skills were preserved in some measure, despite the trauma of displacement, largely because of the practical need for handcrafted items. Early pottery from South Carolina often revealed a distinct West African form; winnowing or fanning baskets from the Low Country used both the form and technique of baskets made in Senegambia. In particular, items made by slaves for personal use reflect African tradition; examples include small ceramic face vessels (resembling Kongo pottery) found at burial sites in South Carolina, which are thought to have served a ritual function, and drums made from gourds or wood. (Not surprisingly, few drums survived; many slaveholders prohibited the making or use of drums for fear of their potential use in a rebellion.)

Skilled Slave Labor and Plantation Enterprise
As the plantation economy grew, so too did the need for skilled slave labor. Most plantations had facilities for spinning thread and weaving fabric, as well as for blacksmithing, coopering (barrel making), and carpentry. The list of slaves at Mount Vernon in 1799, the year of George Washington's death, reveals that, of the 184 slaves listed, more than one-quarter were described as skilled workers; they included carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, coopers, millers, distillers, spinners, weavers, and seamstresses. At Thomas Jefferson's plantation at Poplar Forest, Virginia, slaves performed tasks that included brick making, blacksmithing, woodworking, and masonry.''

I think henceforth, I will just respond to your nonsensical statements with screenshots from the western media you so much loved.

I won't even go into how US begged Iran to help fight ISIS and that led to stronger Iranian influence on Iraq.

With all the evidence available on the Nordstream blow up. You must either be extremely dumb or extremely sentimental to not agree that US did it. I guess the latter is the case which really points to your character. You will support evil as long as it is coming from someone you love. Both Biden and Nuland promised Nordstream will not go ahead. Immediately after the explosion a Polish MP tweeted, ' Thank you America'. Now, a Pulitzer winning western journalist did an investigative piece on how they did it and you still have the guts to be asking me for proofs.

The OPEC states including Saudi and Qatar who are American allies have faced off to the US and they couldn't do anything about it. SA and India are currently calling off their bluff and many Latina countries are already deviating from the dollar in international transactions.



Disgraceful, lol, this one went and dig up propaganda sites to share on niraland, which investigative journalist?? Doesn't he have a name, why have the Germans not reacted to such piece of investigative articles,
Iran were only fighting for themselves after Isis leader threatened to take Tehran after they are done with Iraq.
Which Latina counties have stop using dollars, when your Darling Russian still uses dollar's for its international trade.

As we speak the USA Congress are to debate on the Saudi us largest arms deal, go check the volume of USA- Saudi trade, and know how much the both countries are trading, yet you said the USA are losing Saudi as an Allie, yet over 15,000 USA military are station in the holy Land in Saudi Arabia.

Until I see screenshot from credible news outlets, you can shove your propaganda up your sorry ass

Both the UK and German economies are in terrible shape but the German economy is worse. It has been destroyed by the US, who wants the Germans to buy gas from the US at exhorbitant costs that do not help their economy. The US destroyed Nordstream without evven informing Germany. Show how spineless that country is, The Germans are vassals. They are slaves.
