Then why, the hell are they dying for F16? F16 series are older than 30 years, Turkey should just demand her money back from the F35 down payment and use the money to fund their own fighter Jets.
F16s are highly capable planes that have proved themselves over the years. They're reliable and I think that's why Turkey is going for them.

⚡Euromaidan was part of West's proxy war against Russia - CIA veteran

"They were looking for a long-term strategy to isolate Russia," Larry Johnson, a retired CIA intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

"And the key to this was to get Ukraine into the western camp, to bring Ukraine into NATO, to bring Ukraine into the EU, and therefore to completely isolate, at least they thought they could isolate Russia."

The CIA veteran noted that after 2014, even though Ukraine was not a formal member of NATO, it was regularly included in the alliance's joint annual exercises. This meant that Ukraine then became a proxy for a Cold War, according to Johnson.

First time quoting me, and it seems to me that you are what they say you are.

Is this your method of journalism?
Why didn't you report news the way they are?

Gazprom said its net profit for January-June 2023 fell to 296 billion rubles ($3.1 billion) from 2.5 trillion rubles over the same period last year.
That is the figure of the first and second quarters of 2023 not the entire year.

No one doubt the fact that Gazprom profit fell, but your figure is out of point.

They fell from 3.6trillion rubles in 2022 to 2.2 trillion rubles and not the 296billion rubles you're coming up with.
Let's not forget that we are using EBITDA parameters for 2022 and 2023.
Make sure to do your research well before commenting next time.

Adios.

I really need to know why they're always bitter.

It could be the continuous victory of the Russians that's leading to this unrest and bitterness.
It isn't just out of pure emotions or because of the repeated Russian victories. It's something else---even more sinister than most of us think. It is called INFORMATIONAL INDOCTRINATION.


Majority of these western leaning folks here have been brainwashed and indoctrinated to the extent that, they can never see any wrong in whatever the western countries do and undo. Sadly, majority of them are victims of western psychological warfare waged through the media, Hollywood, and the tacit distortion of historical facts.

As it is with someone that would need to go through rehab to beat a drug addictive habit, so it is with these ones. It would take years and a miracle for many of them to come to reality that they've been lied to all these years.

This is what the West doesn't want you to see.

This is a video back from 2015, one year after the Western sponsored coup in Ukraine brought outright neo-Nazis to power.

The residents of Avdeevka are protesting against Ukrainian Nazis who are opening up military bases next to their shopping centers and then shelling Donetsk civilians with artillery.

"We are sick of the Ukrainian fascists who surrounded our Avdeevka! They are killing us!

They are trying to open up a military base right next to the shopping centre!

90% of us want to be a part of the Donetsk People's Republic!"

Where do you think these people are now?

What do you think the Ukrainian regime and their pocket neo-Nazis have done to them for 10 years before the Russians finally started the special military operation and freed the city?
Stop bothering yourself, brother.

In 2006, the BBC did an inside report on Nazis in Ukraine. But today, same BBC will tell you there are no Nazis in Ukraine.

Western lamestream media have no shame. They sold their conscience to the devil long ago.

⚡The French have already openly declared their intention to use the so-called Ukraine as a testing ground for new UAVs as soon as possible.

Apparently, this is about a barrage munition under the Larina project, which was launched in 2022, when the French were concerned about their response to the Lancet. According to their plan, the new UAV from the French Defense Innovation Agency (AID) and Nexter Corporation should cover a range of 80 km for 3 hours, have the ability to lock on to a target at a distance of 15 km and engage tanks and BMPs.

The defense budget for the period 2024-2030 includes 5 billion euros just for unmanned systems - so the French rush is understandable.

⚡In the 10 years since the coup d'etat, Ukraine has become smaller and smaller.

First, Ukraine lost Crimea, which returned to Russia.

After this, the Maidan authorities launched a war against the population of the DPR and LPR. To protect people, Russia launched the SMO.

As a result, Ukraine also lost the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

And the SMO continues.
I predict, not prophecy, cheesy that by the end of the SMO, Ukraine would have lost the entire eastern parts of the country, leaving it with the western and southern parts.

None of us is on the battlefield, so none of us knows the actual truth, we are therefore working with abstract models which are more like a game with rules than actual reality.

We can compare the pro-zelensky model with the pro-russia model. When we do so, we realize that the pro-russia model leads to accurate predictions of events whereas the pro-zelensky model leads to bad predictions of events.
This is why the pro-russia people hardly get surprised by events on the ground whereas the pro-zelensky people keep getting surprised.

I said pro-russia in order to give an unfair advantage to the pro-clown-zelensky people, god knows they need it now and will need it forever, in reality a lot of neutral people would be counted amongst the pro-russia crowd, because the abstract model of the pro-russia people is based on logic and logic doesn't care for labels.
At the bolded, I felt that line and feel so sorry for the most part of our brothers that formed the pro Zelensky model. I'm even more sadden to admit that your description of their reasoning pattern is so damn right correct and well placed. Anyone who thinks that Ukraine would win a war against Russia is truly a clown. A pathetic one for that matter because, even by the time Ukraine loses Odessa, which they would eventually, the pro Zelensky group would still keep hoping for an imaginary Ukrainian victory over Russia.

So the US is deliberately allowing isreal to mess up the middle east by preventing isreal's opponets from acquiring weapons needed to fight back while heavily supporting isreal.
They virtually sanctioned iran to death because they were developing their nuclear weapon meanwhile isreal has his.
Now that they know iran has nuclear weapons, they are very careful how they approach her.
That's the difference between the US and the other major players in the world. US 'soft power' is unmatched, and they can use it to weaken or destroy nations at will. Israel is lucky to have a big friend or let's say brother in the US. That's why they can do things with impunity. That said, everything has a limit, and even the US knows it. It's becoming clear that the ultimate goal of Israel in this conflict is to displace the Palestinians from the entire Gaza Strip. For now, they seem to be having their way, but the longer this massacre continues, the more the resentment Israel would build up against itself. 51 nations set to give testimonies against Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip in the Hague is a testament to how things could potentially get sour for the Netanyahoo led government should they continue on toeing this line of butchery. Somehow, I feel sorry for the US because Israel's actions is pushing it into tighter corners in so much that the weariness of it all is becoming apparent in recent US official statements vis-a-vis the crisis.

This conflict still has the potency to spiral out of control and force a regional and possibly global war. We can only hope for the best with bathed breath and hands akimbo. Time will tell.

Are you annoyed with the way isreal just dey enter Syria, Lebanon and Iraq anyhow like a woman?
I still have my reservations against Russians in the middle east. They are not to be too relied on.
They have a S-400/500 I think I'm Syria to protect the Syria airspace but it has just been a sitting ducks since without intercepting any isrealis missiles nor aircrafts yet the same air defence system is effective back at home to Ukrainian missiles.
I think the large Russian Jews in isreal makes them somehow soft with isreal, so I will prefer Iranian air defence because they won't be partial.
S400 in Syria was meant to protect Russian military asset in the Heimeimim airbase, not for Syrian national use.

Russia's relationship with Syria vis-a-vis Israel is complicated. Even Russia still controls the S-300 SAM they gave to Syria some years back, meaning the SAA cannot use it directly against Israeli aerial threats. Russia can neither overly support nor condemn Israel, such is the complexity of their relationship.

As for Iranian planned shipments of air defense to Syria and Lebanon, I doubt if they would scale through. They would have to escape US interception via sea, and if they go through via air transportation, the likelihood that Israel would strike them on arrival is very high. Nevertheless, anything can happen. That region is very unpredictable.

“We must adapt to the new reality that has developed now,” Fico said. “It is naive to believe that the Russians will leave Donbass and Lugansk, it is naive to think that the Russians will leave Crimea.”

He also expressed confidence that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine.

⚡Tucker Carlson says Moscow, Russia is "nicer than any city" in the United States during a speech in Dubai.

Tucker says traveling to other countries over the past week has been "radicalizing" for him.

"What was radicalizing, very shocking and very disturbing for me was the city of Moscow, where I'd never been, the biggest city in Europe... is so much nicer than any city in my country. I had no idea."

"If you can't use your subway, for example, as many people are afraid to in New York City because it's too dangerous, you have to sort of wonder like, isn't that the ultimate measure of leadership?"

"It's radicalizing for an American to go to Moscow. I didn't know that. I've learned it this week, to Singapore, to Tokyo, to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, because these cities, no matter how we're told they're run and on what principles they're run, are wonderful places to live that don't have rampant inflation."
Facts.

Many Europeans that traveled to Russia during the FIFA 2018 world cup expressed the same shock as Carlson. Many of them wrote on social media and told news outlets how disappointed they were with their home MSM that has been lying to them for years about Russia.

⚡US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party Kennedy Jr. briefly explained what the “Ukraine project” means for American corporations.

All the money allocated to Ukraine are loans that will be repaid by selling all state property, including land (30% has already been sold)

Military companies (Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing and Lockheed) are already involved in money laundering through Ukraine.

The main beneficiary of all this is the BlackRock corporation, which indirectly controls all Western media and weapons concerns.

The arrival in Ukraine was supposed to make BlackRock rich, since the Kiev regime was supposed to change the entire state and military structure to NATO standards.
We already knew this to be the truth.
