very bold a boy

Russian President Vladimir Putin was given an unexpected history lesson by a teenage student after he made a mistake in describing a battle that was fought over 300 years ago.
Putin was addressing the students at the Ocean children's centre in the Far East city of Vladivostok in a televised address to mark the start of the school year.
As he spoke on Wednesday, Putin said that the forces of Tsar Peter the Great, the founder of the president's hometown of St Petersburg, defeated the Swedish empire in the 1709 Battle of Poltava during the Seven Years' War
However, high school student Nikanor Tolstykh, from the city of Vorkuta, fearlessly corrected the president and said that the battle, which thrust Russia into the forefront of 18th-century European geopolitics, in fact took place during the Great Northern War.
After Putin described the battle of Poltava and said how "the knowledge of the past" can allow a "better understanding of today," he could see the student was itching to intervene, and asked him, "you want to say something?"
Tolstykh took the microphone and said that the war Putin referred to "was not called the Seven Year War," but rather the Great Northern War between 1700 and 1721 in which Russia was one of the "improving maritime powers."
Putin in turn responded by saying: "Of course, thank you for the correction."
The Seven Years' War took place between 1756 and 1763, during which Russia in fact aligned with Sweden, as well as France and Austria, against Prussia, Hanover, and Great Britain.
On Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov praised the boy's initiative and rejected the charge by his school principal that his correction of the president's military history was down to the "arrogance of the young."
"This is not arrogance at all," Peskov told reporters, according to the agency Tass, "We are convinced that no one will expel a child, especially such a talented and knowledgeable one."
"We hope that the child will not face any criticism from the school director," Peskov said, adding that Putin considered the address to the students as a "dialogue" and that as a stickler for facts himself, would often correct others.
"We know that he [Putin] has an absolutely phenomenal knowledge of history, and of course, he is always prepared to listen to such corrections, whether from a child or a specialist," Peskov said.
Putin frequently invokes Russia's more recent history to impart a sense of national pride among the population, in particular regarding the legacy of WW2.
Last year, he announced new probes into Nazi war crimes, and in April, signed into law tougher penalties for those who insult war veterans.

Republicans are generally scared of Brown People.
I don't understand the fear of Christians, even your book the Bible has already said you'll be persecuted and no religion is strong enough to persecute you than ISLAM... Rather sit back and relax because you can't defeat Fate, unless you're saying your book is wrong?

Hold on to Jesus or prefer to add the prefix Abdul to thy name ..

Why not say where it was in the Bible?

Lionel Messi has officially left Barcelona, the club with whom he has spent his entire professional career, after their contract dispute could not be resolved. The Argentine's departure comes as one of the shocks of the summer, as a number of clubs will undoubtedly circle around one of the greatest players in history.
Lionel Messi nears Barcelona exit amid 'impossible' contract issues
The two parties were expected to come to an agreement at some point this summer, although La Liga's financial regulations dictated that Barca had to shift some of their highest earners off the wage bill before Messi's renewal could be formally announced.
The 34-year-old had already agreed to a 50% wage reduction in order to keep his stint in Catalonia alive.
Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho were believed to be two of the biggest names who Barca were desperate to move on, although all links eventually went cold.
When it became clear that buyers were not forthcoming for Barca's big earners, SportItalia reported that La Liga refused to give the green light on Messi's new deal.
As a result, club president Joan Laporta supposedly had to request another pay cut from the Argentine, leading to Messi becoming 'completely fed up' with the situation.
A report from Tancredi Palmeri also states that PSG now stand at the front of the queue to land the megastar.
Although Messi would be available for free, his wages would require serious financial backing, the kind which the Parisians can undoubtedly boast.
The Argentine has also been linked with Man City in the past, although their current pursuits of both Jack Grealish and Harry Kane suggest that the ship may have already sailed.

Don't be naive, the Texas lawsuit is dead on arrival just like the series of silly lawsuits that the courts have been throwing out for lack of evidence of voter fraud.

I will be happy to quote this this time next week...

These guys posting this had refused to post the Texas state suit, they've refused to post what the PA legislature is saying, they've also refused to post the video evidence in GA and also refused to post KRAKEN, you will come back and edit your post, it's only a matter of time.

You wouldn't see them here now, they afford this post as if curfew area

The post is just a sign that they understand the polity here.
If they actually worked with Nigeria government, they would have refrenced us in the official statement from Pentagon not the US mission in Nigeria mentioning us while retweeting the original news.

The only types of Muslims that are not murderous are the bad Muslims. As a good Muslim killing is one of your service to Allah.

Suspect...

I thought Nigeria Army is currently doing operation crocodile smile across the country, how manage they are not in Ado LG?
Wicked people, it is peaceful protesters they will go after...

tartar9:
Stick to the topic of the thread...stop shifting goalpost.
Anyways,every so-called economic advancement that occurred under trump was a continuation of a trend which began under Obama. A trend that he's destroying.

You're the one shifting the goal post now...

From coronavirus to economy.
..now to Obama economic policies.

Commentor:
Do you need numbers when it is confirmed 220 thousand people have died from Coronavirus in USA?


Stop grasping at straws.

See this guy ooo, but you never talk about death per population...

So, give us the mortality rate of the two countries and the test rate if you actually know what you're saying...

tartar9:
The dumbest people are the ones who don't understand simple calculation.
Even if we assume no blame should fall on trump(which is false). How exactly does the economic figures simply responding to the moving out of a lockdown warrant such a stupid claim that trump has created the biggest economic growth in 200 years. Una no dey reason at all ?

The dumbest person here is the one who refuse to acknowledge that African-America unemployment reduced to all time low thesame with the Latinos and Hispanics, the dumbest person here is the guy who decide to ignore that fact that 56% of American said they are better economically under Trump (even during covid) than they were under Obama/Biden, the dumbest person here is the one who is not coming up with facts.

Commentor:
Australia vs USA.

Can you tell us the number of tests per day in the two countries?

Koulture:
You're very wrong sir.

Biden has promised to reboot the US economy,first if you don't handle covid 19 properly you won't be able to fix the economy properly,and that's the more reason Democrats talk much about covid.

Biden has promised to listen to medical experts and scientist on the best way to manage covid,he has promised to reverse Trump tax cuts that only benefits just 1% of the american people,this tax increase will only be applicable to those earning $400k and above,this monies will be used in spendings on the economy like infrastructures, transit vehicles, broadband and clean energy like wind and solar, increase minimum wage,expand Obamacare.

If it's to reverse Trump tax, then it's everybody that will be affected not the people earning above 400k.
He plan to pursue second lockdown that will lead to more lay offs, Hope you're aware that his plan for clean energy will affect the energy sector?
All these are economy blunders now.
I don't have to be an economist to know that standard of living will be very high with these plans.

Biafrannuke:
Joe biden has no other campaign script except covid.

Exactly.
That's has been his talking point and people are even tired of it and they now believe Economy is the top issue for them.

Koulture:


Lol....who the fvck is this clown?
Economic boom my ass,go and check national debt under Trump compared to other past presidents to see how it has skyrocketed.
With the current unemployment rate it's certain Trump will lose reelection,only a normal percentage of 5 or 4 can save him.Let me shock you a little,are you aware his trade war was a failure,it ended up creating higher trade deficits with china.

Their is a massive blue wave looming across the US,the signs are already showing up base on early votings we've seen so far mostly from Democrats voters.

He is gonna be sent packing next month,after which he has to answer for different crimes like tax evasion,fraud, obstruction of justice.

You forgot the covid relief?
We will be here together when the so called blue wave don't happen.

THUNDER4real:
This is not racism but because Nigeria is not a reliable ally. This was manifested in UN when Nigeria voted against USA and Israel.

Spot on.
We are not a good allies with the US compare to South Korea so why will they support us? It does not make economic sense.

rontolo:
I tell some nugget heads on this forum that trumps racism is off the charts. He will never allow a black African woman rise to such a sensitive position. It will be a miracle, unless the group stands up to him

Trump is a vile, racist imbeci1e.

Can’t wait for nov.

It's very simple, the value of trade between US-South Korea is over 160 billion dollars while that of US-Nigeria is just 11billion dollars.
What is US gaining from Nigeria and why will they support madam Ngozi over a strong allies' candidate?
We should go to China now...
USA supporting madam Ngozi does not make economic sense...

overseasnbeyond:
get your fact right!

Please what did Obama did for Africa?
The Libya war or the LGBT lobby and the consequent arm sale to Nigeria that his admin did not allow to pass through?
What?

Righteousness89:
Even if Biden son or Harris Sisters are Married to Nigerians! I Stand Fully with Trump and I Declare President Donald Trump is Returned as the President of the USA

What is killing us in Africa is choosing relationship over policies. Please what did Obama did, he successfully distrupt the peace of Libya, isn't it? He decline the sale of arms to GEJ because he didn't support LGBT, check the record of Harris when she was the AG of California and see what she did for black.
Please support Biden and Harris base on policy and not relationship.
