War coverage. At this time when information is freely available sadly it's not. Media is highly controlled, over 90% of media is pro globalists/govt of the day Whichever applies
This war is pure propaganda esp from Ukraine. RT, Tass and Russia sources are masters of propaganda over the years
Lot of lies esp Ukr who say they have killed 80k troops. Their own casualties are not declared. They win a small village and it's all the rage.

Some honest reporting maybe would kill the troop morale though. I think I'm not the only one who is infuriated by the shameless narratives we are being fed.

The story is she promised stuff she couldn't pay for and the market hammered her for it

She campaigned on increasing spending and cutting the higher rate of tax, while Rishi Sunak campaigned that we need to tighten our belts and cut spending after the monumental spend during the pandemic. She won because Rishi Sunak had backstabbed Boris, not because her economic policy made any sense

The markets hammered the pound and UK gilt and told her what they thought about her attempt to eat her cake and have it, exactly as Rishi predicted. She had to do u turn on all her policies within 2 weeks, thus looking like a buffoon and losing face among MPs. You know UK being a parliamentary system don't elect an executive. The Prime Minister serves at the pleasure of the MPS. You do anyhow, you go see anyhow.
Looks like a failure by her economists.A budget is done by a whole team, wonder how they could not foresee it.


Hmmm Interesting that Buda could see things Truss did not see, I won't consider that as intelligence though.

See your so called Biden's policies that buda supposedly supports, Ben.

Thankfully, she got thrown out before she turned us into blown up America that Biden inherited. But of course Ben doesn't have a clue of the consequences of those stupid policies. For him, "maths is racist".
Biden inherited border crossings of 500, his efforts increased it to 8000 daily
Biden inherited inflation of 1.4% , his efforts increased it to 8.2%, 5 million illegals each paying cartels $2000 means Biden has made cartels richer by $10 billion.

Blame the predecessor for your mistakes because Buda will stick with you through thick and thin.

Such progress is based on several fundamentals: scientific and technical cooperation, primarily with China; the use of technologies and components for their own production, obtained officially, semi-officially or unofficially (intelligence); and the acquisition of real samples of American and Israeli drones for the purpose of deep study and possible reverse engineering.

Look at the war crimes Ukranazis are committing yet Putin is treating them with kids glove.
Putin has not declared war yet, it's so far a special military operation. Fact that he wants refetendums to go his way means he won't do a shock and awe to alienate the votes he needs for legitimacy

I don't think NATO will ever invade or plan to invade Russia. I think Putin is over reacting. maybe he has a dream to expand and he feels NATO is beating him in that aspect by taking up land he wants to be part of the Neo-Soviet Union
NATO has been a force of good I know esp that all those members never need to develop nuclear weapons.
Downside to NATO is their preoccupation to cut down Russia, maybe Putin specifically. Expending lots of $$$ that would turn the Sahara green.
Initial NATO formation was to check Warsaw pact, now dead m buried. Why NATO still wants to border Russia today could be a deterrent to Putin if his deeply held belief that USSR breakdown was a catastrophe that needs to be remedied one day.

The same day, Ukrainian presidential office head advisor Mikhail Podolyak tweeted "Crimea, bridge, beginning up," which some perceived as Kiev’s acknowledgement of responsibility for the terror attack

On October 11, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Kiev initially was bragging about its involvement in the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, but later started to cowardly disown it under pressure from Washington.


I think more will come to light. Those 12 that Russia says it arrested were not read their equivalent Miranda rights. Guess they are hanging upside down on meat hooks right now. Gory but war is brutal

The Kherson Region’s acting Governor Vladimir Saldo earlier explained that several districts on the right bank of the Dnieper River could be flooded, with flood waters rising about one meter high, should the dam of the Kakhovka hydropower plant be damaged. That is why the regional authorities were doing their utmost to help residents leave the area. He added that the left bank where the larger part of Kherson was situated could not be critically flooded due to its terrain.
How is this not a war crimes

Israel vs Egypt. Israel warned Egypt it would bomb Aswan dam if Egypt threatened Israel existence.Flood waters would wipe out many downstream including Cairo.

Civilian targets that result in mass casualties are a no go zone. You can't bomb an ammonia plant and remain in good world standing. You can't bomb a nuclear reactor that's up and running. You can't detonate a nuclear device on the shores to cause a massive tsunami too.

As i said, NATO has done a lot to trigger this war and they don't want to be on the table for peace since they are using Ukraine to fight Russia. In as much as they provoke Russia, Russia has its own issues which is worse than what NATO did as it stands.

I think Ukraine asking to join NATO is reasonable, if NATO want to resolve issues peacefully, they should have come up with alternative and outright rejects Ukraine's request to Join.

as it is now, Ukraine must fight for what they want and russia must fight to stop them.

Russia is not strong enough militarily, they rely mainly on their Nukes. They have the technology to deliver those nukes sadly. I think NATO should Deescalate.
One thing I know is that Ukraine east towards Moscow is low lying ground apt for invasion.
The upper part of NATO influence towardr russia Estonia is also a good launch pad for an invading force to Moscow.

I'll look up on why Putin don't want NATO in Ukraine by all means..

Black is white. I demonstrated that Obama did what Putin wanted.

And also went on later to grant .more favours. For instance under Obama Putin bought 20% of America uranium capacity. Clinton foundation recieved $145m in donations from the Russian buyer lRosanet in the process.
Obama was not aware Huh?

Need I mention the Kolkova industrial park Obama admin partnered with Putin...which was basically a tech transfer from Silicon valley to Russia.

Obama is clearly Putin's lapdog.

So far so good. Obama is Putin's toy. Something changed with Arab spring. Obama wanted Assad out , he armed ISIS hardcore jihadists saying they are moderates
So as to remove Assad. Syria Iraq, Kurdistan went up in flames. Putin came in, he has a
Base in Tartus that he won't let go. Both Russia n
Obama( after realizing he armed jihadists) go to work on ISIS.Assad is an Alawite Muslim a Shia offshoot that is Iranian lapdog.
Obama wanted jihadists to rule Syria, they were intent on chopping off heads and instituting Sharia unlike Assad who only cares that he is in power Sharia be damned.

---The deep state is really after Trump with this latest information that Trump signed a false certification to over turn the Georgia results---

Judge Carter's ruling finding crime fraud exception is much tougher and more foreboding on Trump than the previous one. That's because he finds more likely than not that Trump signed a false certification as part of the effort to overturn Georgia results. DOJ will have to follow up.
Just asking does the judge concur there were fraudulent votes.
If so how is someone filing expected to give the exact number when the relevant sources are open sources with Election officials stalling every audit in Georgia

Your problem is you are immersed in nonsense. The missile defense had been cancelled in 2009, 3 years before this meeting with Medvedev but no your pointless pointlessness won't let you stop putting your foot in your mouth. LoLz.

Is Ramaphosa the one who wrote the treaty? LMFAO. Abeg goan sit down, you are pointless.
See Obama cancelled the missile defense shield in 2009. Putin was happy the dolt did his will.
Ramaphosa knows NATO expansion is the cause of the war, You have been challenging me , I have posted what western leaders promised , all you can see is that Obama is not a lackey of Putin..

Obama later on went and did favours to Putin.

No defensive shield in Poland was Putin's desire, an action brilliantly executed by Obama.

Facts are stubborn

I brought up Ramaphosa because you have been demanding I produce the treaty signed by NATO n Russia to not expand eastwards.
The SA president clearly states that NATO expansion is the cause of the war You can take him up on that
I am not in possession of the treaty., I'm just a keyboard warrior.

In the process of voting my body my choice , some of the candidates are pushing ideas like transgendering children, banning beef, packing supreme court, abortion on demand, open borders no Ukraine peace talks, Russia russia, banning fossil fuels etc.

That is all overlooked because the candidate wants abortion as a right.

I've got a question. The US has long range AWACS operating outside Ukraine airspace. They are able to pick Russia movements, airborne crafts,missile launches.
Are they passing that data to Ukraine ground troops . If they are then NATO is fighting Russia, the awacs component is a very strong force multiplier

On 4 occasions Igor told FBI that he had spoken on phone a CIA asset called Sergei Millan.
It's recorded on the forms filled in by fbi of Igor claim 4 times to have spolen to Sergei.

In reality Igor Danchenko has NEVER spolen to Sergei Millan On those 4 ocassions Igor is clearly lying.

Democrats are dolts.

Inflation from 1.4% to 8.2% within 18 months causing huge price hikes.

Energy independence crushed Day One because of climate change hoax.

Border open .. Democrats pretend to like immigrants but will investigate a Governors who sentp them 50 illegal aliens.
Drugs coming in thru the border
Cartels change thousands to use the border routes : 5m aliens means open border has earned the cartels at least $10B .

How do people support such policies in their right minds. The democrats are more bothered by voter suppression (Read require voter ID) and actions that reduce their votes
Abortions
Drugs/Open borders..
LBGFTQ agenda. Hello. Gay people can never recreate.
I believe more democrats die of drugs and abortions than republicans.

Democrats and the left who support such need reeducation. China has ready made camps

Joe Biden is destroying the economy deliberately
while his dolts stand and cheer believing he is doing the right thing.
Joe is digging a hole whole claiming he is burying the hole.

No matter how you twist it. I've shown you the promises NATO made to Russia, and you want a signed treaty.

Putin said NATO in Ukraine is a redline. He drew it and is waging war. He needed a signed declaration.

I am not a MAGA, nor am I in the USA and I cannot be a Republican. It still does not make sense.

You are clueless about why Obama did not put the Missile defense system around Russia.
Saint Obama has to be whitewashed by liberal media that Victorusa consumes

: “We appreciate the responsible approach of the U.S. president toward implementing our agreements.”

In other words, pulling back the missile defense shield was part of Obama’s “reset” of relations with Russia. Obama’s idea for a smaller missile shield not in Poland was intended to be “less threatening” to Russia and was greeted that way.


“Obama has been seeking a stronger relationship with Russia,” CNN explained at the time, “and better cooperation from the Kremlin to support tough U.N. economic sanctions against Iran if it continues to pursue its nuclear ambitions



Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. On March 6, 2009, Clinton met with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Prior to their working dinner, she gave him an unusual gift.

Hillary Clinton opened the little box and presented Lavrov with a red plastic button. The red “reset button” had the word “peregruzka” inscribed in Russian on its base. The word “Reset” was also written in English. Hillary Clinton then told Lavrov, “I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is, we want to reset our relationship, and so we will do it together.
