That does not translate to, everyone who is against fracking has been sponsored by Russia!

I can object to fracking in my backyard without having received funding or information from Russia!

Or is that too complicated forCA aà AA a you to comprehend?
Of course anyone can object to fracking. Some like youwould object because others are doing it

Brits don't need Russia to tell them not to want fracking in their backyard. They'd object to a simple dormer extension to their neighbour's house, so one wouldn't expect them not to object to fracking, but trust you to believe the Q version as opposed to reality as usual.
You have a comprehension problem?
Russia sponsors activists against fracking
Where does Q come in? Or its your usual way of deflecting when your postulations are proven to be stale and bereft of sense

Biden should not blacklist Musk for any reason. Let Musk please buy twitter!
Simply put. Twitter could be part of govt disinfo platform.
Social media has blacked out stories critical of govt , Zuckerberg admitted so well the other day.

The Russians also lobbied behind the scenes against shale gas, worried about losing their grip on the world’s gas supplies. Unlike most conspiracy theories about Russian meddling in Western politics, this one is out there in plain sight. The head of Nato, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said the Russians, as part of a sophisticated disinformation operation, “engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations — environmental organisations working against shale gas — to maintain Europe’s dependence on imported Russian gas”.
The Centre for European Studies found that the Russian government has invested $95 million in NGOs campaigning against shale gas. Russia Today television ran endless anti-fracking stories, including one that “frackers are the moral equivalent of paedophiles”. The US Director of National Intelligence stated that “RT runs anti-fracking programming … reflective of the Russian Government’s concern about the impact of fracking and US natural gas production on the global energy market and the potential challenges to Gazprom’s profitability.” Pro-Russian politicians such as Lord Truscott (married to a Russian army colonel’s daughter) made speeches in parliament against fracking

We are here. Let's discuss Right and Left. Parameters I consider that you can add are
Belief system and Behavioral tendencies n extremities ; you can add more.

Belief System. The right is mostly religious as such an eye for an eye don't dwell so much.The right most likely won't commit violence needlessly as their moral fibre bars them.
The left fits well into this category too.The left however is progressive moving the goal posts to suit their desires. Law abiding to an extent that their projections are accepted by all and sundry.

Behavior. The right I posit commit less crimes than the left. Progressive left will justify breaking the law to fit their jig saw puzzles.

Extremity.
Far right is toxic and obnoxious. Most likely engage in hate crimes secretly in their mind.
Far left is vicious.Tends to force their outlook to everyone. Most criminals are far left. Far left is racist and segregates into groupies and gangs.

Kim Jong Un is calling. Have to break off.p

Smear campaign. The rest of the networks will run away with it, quoting each other to validate. I'm not on tv but I'm sure Anderson Cooper,Tapper et al will run the story as fact .
In other words WAPO creates the story quoting anonymous sources, CNN picks it up, MSNBC follows, PBS too, at the end of the night all networks validate the story.

Meaning Elon should not try where others have failed?
Erdogan hosted talks in Instanbul formerly Constantinople ( story for another day if you interested) What scuttled the talks was Boris Johnson going to Kiev (unilaterally I don't think so) to convince the comedian Zelensky to drop the talks. Zelensky shed crocodile tears for his friend however after UK sacked him.

---Elon Musk discussing with Dimitry Medvedev---is a national security risk---
How is it a national risk if he wants negotiations for peace.
Dennis Rodman visited Kim Jong un who makes dire threats of bombing America and is really a security threat.

One should ask JB whom to talk to?

Good chance for Elon not to buy Twitter. It's valued at 10 and he is supposed to pay 44.

Security risk would be discovering how FBI and Twitter work hand in hand to take down critics of Joe policies

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.

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

See Obama cancelled the missile defense shield in 2009. Putin was happy the dolt did his will.

I brought up Ramaphosa because you have been demanding I produce the treaty signed by NATO n Russia to not expand eastwards.
