⚡NATO Jens Stoltenberg:

By using a fraction of the US defence budget, we have been able to destroy and degrade the Russian army substantially.
"Destroyed and degrade?" This guy thinks like a slowpoke.


On the contrary, what you did only make Russia financially, militarily, and technologically strong and increasingly likeable in the eyes of many other nations.

🇺🇸 Follow up - 2,500 trucks set off from Oklahoma to Texas in support of the decision to secede from the United States.

Noting that the state of Texas had taken the decision to secede from the United States of America due to the double standards taken by the American decision-makers. Federal forces began to mass on the Texas border to prevent secession.

Texas has the right to defend itself and to secede, if Taiwan has same right as advocated by Uncle Sam. Time to eat your own cake. cool

Democracy can always be improved and they are trying to improve it since the 100% agreement doesn't reflect their overriding wishes. The process by which Orban will be silenced will also be within democratic framework
They're not trying to improve anything. Threatening to disrupt Hungarian economy should it vote against more aid to Ukraine isn't trying to improve on their democracy. Rather, that is political and economic witchunting of a Nation that is just exercising its voting rights.

Using your logic, if 100% of voters vote for a person in an election, it's not a democracy since 100% is not a democracy? Let me ask you, if 100% not a majority, then what is a majority? 99? 90? Or is 99 now greater than 100?

And you're saying the EU follows a consensus model and not a democracy, does that mean the EU is not democratic all these years but decided to become democratic when Hungary refused to do what they want?

The voting process for the EU requires 100% consensus. 100% is not democracy, majority will is, so they are respecting democracy by kicking out that Putard Orban
If the voting system required 100 percent consensus, which all the member states agreed upon, then that is their ideal democracy. So, why trying to chased off one that refused to agree on one certain issue since each and every member also had the right to say no on certain issues? Must one day yes on or no all issues even if it runs against one's national interest? Isn't that undemocratic according to their own definition of democracy? cool

Trying to weave your way out of a glaring misnormal is tantamount to supporting Organ harvesters. grin

You get am. To become the US president today, you either have to be from the Democratic or Republican party. There is no middle ground.

So, how is it a democracy when you only have two pre-selected options? Little wonder all US presidents are more or less the same thing, irrespective of their parties. They all start wars, topple democracies, and kill innocent women and children before turning around to cry wolf and paint themselves as the victim.

The worse part is that American voters don't even decide who between these two people becomes president.

- Americans voted for Al Gore in the 2000 election but George Bush was announced winner.
- Americans voted for Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election but Trump was announced the winner.

Why? Because the real voters are a small group of people called the Electoral College. They vote for the US president. And whoever their paymaster tells them to vote for wins, irrespective of what Americans vote for. Is that democracy or democraZy?
So many ignorant folks here don't even know that, although democracy is the government of the majority, a presidential candidate in America can win majority of the votes and still end up losing the election. That system is what some ediots here called democracy.

The EC system is a mockery of the electoral system in America. The system breeds segregation, cancels the will of the majority, and enshrine the age-long principle of white supremacy and inequality that has been the core of the American race, social, and political divide. The fact that America is the only country in the developed world that practice this aberration speaks volume.

They are always working in groups to suppress others.
When they want to attack a country, they come in group called NATO.
When they want to trade with you, they come in group also - EU market, America market etc
They will tell you your beans imported doesn't meet EU criteria instead of dealing with a single country you want to export to like Belgium in EU but when they want to fleece your market, they dear solely with you as a country like Nigeria and not African market requirement.
We want to form a single currency in west Africa as Eco instead of local currencies but France has been using the francophone countries to frustrate the process.
When you work as a group, you become stronger and formidable like a bunch of broom instead of a single strand of broom that can easily be broken.
If Africa union has it's own formidable force and states in her charter that an attack on one African country is an attack on all, Gaddafi wouldn't have been killed because it's easier to fight Libya alone than fighting the whole 54 countries with armies and weapons.

Louder so one fake prophet wey dey for back go hear.

European leaders are just too emotional, always dancing to the tunes of usa who doesn't care about them.

European nations are not allowed to buy Russian oil, but america that so much loves NATO members cannot sell her gas to them at a cheaper rate but sells double the price of that of Russia.

America says anyone who does business with Russia is funding the war but same USA buys lithium, sun flower oil etc from russia till today grin

Europeans are slaves to the USA obviously. Let them enjoy their slavery until their eyes open
One formal German journalist cum spy officer on his sick bed once told a journalist that the CIA has a "dirt" dossier on most leaders across the EU, which they used to force them to dance to their tone. Only a few are not victims. He also said that the CIA has a lot of the western MSM outlets key decision makers on their payroll, by using shadow third-party organizations and corporations to sponsor those news outlets to achieve their aim . With these, they're able to get out the narrative they wanted to the people. Don't you wonder how almost all the MSM outlets simply jump on and parrot similar narrative on highly sensational geopolitical and certain national issues? How they all follow and repeat the same line and narrative with similar pattern, urgency, and, underreporting when certain issues doesn't suit a designated narrative or are no longer needed?
Even Vladimir Putin was forced to admit sometime ago that the west and it's secret service knows how to "work" when it comes to controlling the narrative and public perception of key events.

Both of them were using laymans terms.

LLPs may even employ more than LLCs on average and won't fit the textbook definition of "company". Examples of LLPs are law firms, accounting firms (eg Deloitte) and so on

UK have over 5m legal businesses, what layman may call "companies"
I don't understand why you guys are arguing back and forth on the total number of companies registered in the UK. This link to the government office of statistics should help lay the matter to rest. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/incorporated-companies-in-the-united-kingdom-january-to-march-2023/incorporated-companies-in-the-united-kingdom-january-to-march-2023#:~:text=2.-,Main%20points,by%2069%2C926%20companies%20(1.5%25).

The bone of contention should, rather, focus on the initial post/news, which says 47,000 UK companies are facing risk of permanent closure. And someone went on to say even if those companies collapsed, they still have 5 million more left, but that isn't the real issue the news is trying to pass on regarding the potential catastrophe.

Here is the deal ...

Assuming that each of those companies has up to 20 employees on their payroll, that would be 20x47,000=940,000.

That means, if those companies actually becomes insolvent and forced to close down operations, a whopping 940,000 people would become jobless and thrown into the labour market. That's a red sign for any well meaning economy. The situation can even get worst considering that the reports says 30% of those companies are in the building and construction sector, which employs more people than most other sectors.

Bloody fok....... It was horow to watch. These quack Idf soldiers should better leave Gaza, No way they can survive these Hamas fire for long.
But why did IDF post these video, it makes them look bad now
I don't think they posted it officially. Like someone said, maybe the IDF soldier with the camera got killed and Hamas got access to it. There is also the possibility that some disgruntled elements among the soldiers fed up with the way the ground operation is going decided to post the video to deride the Israeli ruling class, who are more optimistic than being realistic about the events happening on the ground. Guerrilla warfare and urban battles are always tough for any army on earth.

“Zelensky must lower the mobilization age in Ukraine,” - Major General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Krivonos

The average age of military personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to him, is from 38 to 50 years, but the ability to withstand physical activity in a 40-year-old is significantly less than in a 25-year-old. According to Krivonos, the ideal age of warriors is from 18 to 25 years.

“With my own experience of serving more than 30 years in the Special Forces, I will say that we must prepare the entire population of Ukraine to defend their home,” he added.

By the time the war is over and Netanyahu is removed, we will be here to see the true count of fallen soldiers
Netanyahoo overplayed his hand by allowing Israel to over react with the indiscriminate bombings and killing of people en mass. When you succeed in turning much of the world against you, especially where you're on the wrong, even the cosmic rulers can't help you. The tactics of leveling much of Gaza was Israel's greatest undoing. He should have focused on destroying Hamas as a political entity, instead of flattening the Gaza Strip. The pulsating desire to go after the entire Gaza Strip especially with inexperience boots on the ground is getting young and innocent Israeli soldiers killed for nothing. It's very disheartening that missiles are still being launched from many of the places the IDF bombed across Gaza, making it look like the effort and sacrifice of those Israeli soldiers is in vain. Protests is now building up and happening against Netanyahu, which might spiral out of control if things gets uglier by the day.
