Truss has ‘worst’ approval of UK PM since 2010 – poll
A survey shows that she is less popular than Boris Johnson before his resignation
British Prime Minister Liz Truss’ personal approval rating is lower than her predecessor Boris Johnson’s was right before he was forced to resign this year, a recent Opinium/Observer poll has shown.

According to the survey of 2,000 people, which was conducted between September 28 and 30 and released on Saturday, only 18% of Britons approve of the job Truss is doing, and 55% disapprove.
This places her net approval at -37, down from -9 a week ago, which is worse than the -28 that Johnson had in the final Opinium poll before he stepped down as Tory leader in July.

“This is the worst poll result we have shown for a Conservative prime minister since the 2010 general election,” James Crouch, the head of policy and public affairs at Opinium, told The Guardian.
Liz Truss has managed to reach the depths of the poor personal ratings of both Theresa May and Boris Johnson at the end of their tenure, within weeks of taking office and within days of her government’s first major action.
The poll came out as the government is looking for ways to tackle inflation and soaring energy prices. It has responded to the crisis by increasing the caps on energy prices.

Truss argued that the measure will stop average annual household bills from rising next year to as high as £6,500, a figure estimated by experts.

Protests against the increasing cost of living, during which people publicly burned their utility bills, were held across the UK on Saturday.
A former foreign secretary, Truss took over from Johnson in September after winning the Tory leadership race. Johnson stepped down after officials in his cabinet resigned en masse due to disagreements over economic recovery policies and several controversies, such as the flouting of Covid-19 quarantine rules by senior government members, including Johnson himself.

Russia has the military might(which is why unlike Libya, Iraq and other weak countries, NATO has been unable to invade Russia).
China has the economic might.
Politics is war without bloodshed and war is politics with bloodshed.
The decline of the West led by the US has been rapid.
China remains the most developed country in the world and continues to advance in all areas of development (human, infrastructure, technology) etc.
The West led by the US is a faded empire which fell like the Roman empire.
Thanks to Russia, China and India (the current champions/super powers).
This is the birth of a multipolar world.

Russian Hypersonic Missiles Superior To Anything Nato’s Got, French Media Says - Politics
https://www.nairaland.com/7364082/russian-hypersonic-missiles-superior-anything

Russia and China became the first countries to field strategic hypersonic weapons systems, with Moscow putting the Kinzhal (‘Dagger’) missile into operation in late 2017, and the People’s Liberation Army following suit by unveiling the DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle in 2019. The US expects delivery of its first hypersonic weapons in 2023.
Russian hypersonic missile systems are more advanced than anything being fielded by the North Atlantic Alliance today, France’s Le Figaro has reported, echoing sentiments expressed by Russia’s president in a speech last week.
The French newspaper characterized Russia’s hypersonic weaponry as its main strategic asset, capable of flying at incredible speeds and maneuvering while in flight. It pointed specifically to the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle – a weapon deployable as a part of a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) payload aboard Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles.
“In this specific area, Russia is indeed one step ahead of its NATO adversaries,” the Gaullist newspaper conceded. The paper added that Russia and China proceeded to develop hypersonic missiles in response to NATO’s efforts to construct a missile defense shield.
“Russia undoubtedly has more modern weapons than the NATO countries. The United States has lagged behind in the field of hypersonic missiles, and Moscow’s nuclear arsenal is being replenished with more powerful and destructive projectiles,” Igor Delanoe, deputy director of the Moscow-based Franco-Russian Observatory, said.
In his speech announcing partial mobilization last month, Vladimir Putin accused Western officials of discussing “the possibility and admissibility of using weapons mass destruction – nuclear weapons – against Russia.”
“I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have. In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff,” Putin said.
The Russian president unveiled five new strategic weapons in a speech to lawmakers in 2018, among them the Kinzhal and the Avangard, plus the Poseidon nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed drone submarine, and the 9M730 Burevestnik (‘Petrel’) nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed cruise missile.
The Chinese military also possesses hypersonic weapons. In August, Russian-Indian defense joint venture BrahMos announced that it may create a hypersonic missile by 2027 or 2028. North and South Korea, France, Japan, Australia and India are also researching the cutting-edge class of weaponry.
The Pentagon has tasked US defense contractors with developing at least six hypersonic weapons designs for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and DARPA’s Operational Fires program, but to date none have been fielded. The US military has also pitched laser and dust-firing flak guns meant to defeat Russian and Chinese hypersonics, as well as the use of stratospheric balloons to monitor and track their launch.
Russia got a head start on its hypersonics program thanks to Soviet-era research in the field starting in the early 2000s, after the Bush administration unilaterally scrapped of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty – a 1972 Soviet-US agreement which placed severe limitations on the creation of anti-ballistic missile defenses and intended to stop the arms race.
Russia’s military doctrine forbids nuclear weapons from being used unless the country is targeted by enemy nuclear attack first, or a conventional attack so severe that it is deemed to threaten the existence of the state. The United States does not place such restrictions on its nukes, and “reserves the right to use” them on a preemptive basis, even against non-nuclear armed adversaries.

The hryvnia will be accepted for payment until December 31.
The Russian ruble is set to become the official currency for the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, the former Ukrainian territories that voted to join Russia in a referendum earlier this week.
According to the press service of Russia’s State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation, the Ukrainian hryvnia will be accepted for payments in the regions until December 31. However, starting January 1, the ruble will be the only currency accepted.

“The ruble will be the monetary unit on the territories of the new [Russian] regions. Until December 31, 2022, the Ukrainian hryvnia will be accepted for cash and non-cash payments. The Bank of Russia will be empowered to establish the specifics of credit and non-credit financial institutions operation,” the press service said in a statement on Sunday.
The DPR and LPR broke off from Kiev and had been de facto independent territories since 2014. Kherson and Zaporozhye declared independence from Ukraine earlier this year. All four territories voted in favor of joining Russia in referendums held between September 23 and 27.
The Russian Constitutional Court ruled on Sunday that the treaties on the accession of the territories to Russia are in full accordance with the constitution, and the next step to make them part of Russia is for the documents to be ratified by both houses of the Russian parliament. The votes on this are expected to pass in the coming days.

Mickykarim:


YOU NEED TO TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOUR ARGUMENT IS!

I asserted that Putin already won the war win the annexation and you claim that he has a nuclear weapon to deploy

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL TE WORLD THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO POSTIONS.

But because you are such a LOUSY loud SCUMBAG who cannot tell the consonance in the aligned positions. And, because you IDLE minds on the internet are so endemic with NONSENSICAL habitual idiosyncrasies and with your loose heads are damn too THOUGHTLESS.

ARE YOU NOT SUCH A MISERABLE SOUL!

Wait until day break, you may find someone that may be interested in your excited fatuity.

Mickykarim:


I WILL DRIVE YOU TO THE POINT OF DERANGEMENT. NET TIME YOU WII KEEP YOUR DIRTY NOISE OFF WHATEVER IS NOT WITHING YOUR COMPREHENSION.

There are too many IDIOTS in your ilk CONTAMINATING the cyberspace. Go back to the jungle where you belong.

exhibiting behaviour of a human being not capable of any logical reasoning or argument.

Mickykarim:


FOOL! YOU DABBLED INTO SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR LIFE.

I am going to drive you over the cliff for being a fundamental dunce.

Your assumptions are noted.
By all means, go ahead.

AlexBells:

Reality, I kind of enjoy your conversation, your reality or the global reality, how can you understand reality beyond your reality when you can't even see beyond your thinking capacity, you need to see a different reality,

Your borderline conceptions are noted.

AlexBells:

I can defend your ego to the moon, it is your right to feel that sense of importance for which I can accept that you are right and I'm wrong however in case in the future, remember that your ego would feel better if you could say that China is the advanced economy in Asia or that China has the most diversified development in Asia but saying China is the most developed could pass you as another mediocre, and when you talk in eloquent sphere, you could be seen as less refined than you should be if you were to be open to correction, I have to sleep it too late already have a wonderful time.

They're just insignificant and frankly not worth the time especially as they have no impact on reality.

AlexBells:

You can't term a fool in totality, you could be a fool in being wise and then become wise in being a fool, meanwhile, you can educate a fool who understand his place, you said China is the most developed country in the world, that could be a mistake but if I point out to you that China isn't in fact the most developed country in East Asia, if you keep arguing that's when you become a fool, you can be a fool for a day but if you are open to correction one day you graduate from being a fool, my remark wasn't a permanent dent, you can change and if you do, I have no problem growing along

Ok, your ficticious perspective is noted and insignificant to me.
"never argue with a fool cause they drag you to their level and beat you with experience"

AlexBells:

I clearly stated and I quote "I have concluded this particular debate" I did not say I will never debate with you again but I won't debate further on that particular debate of the possibility of Russia using nuke.

You changed the topic to development no longer on the topic of nuke so can debate on that

And I quote "You just prove the old saying never argue with a fool cause they drag you to their level and beat you with experience"
Nothing has changed.

Mickykarim:



BECAUSE YOU ARE A COFUSED INTERLOPER IDLE FOOL.

Tell me how this contravene and or contrasted my position?

YOU ARE SUCH ARE ABUNDANT IDIOT WITH AN OPTUSE HEAD. GO CHECK YOURSELF, Mr. LOOSE HEAD.

You're looking for kids to roll in the mud with you.
Wait until daybreak.

AlexBells:

You are talking another nonsense again, development is sectional however generally, Japan abd Germany are two of the most developed nations in the world, come to sectional development we know that Russia is one of the most developed in Rocket science rival in this regards is US, US is the most developed in technology rival in this regards is China, Japan so when we think all Round development, Japan and Germany leads including human development index

Please see attached (it seems your memory has failed you)

There has been protests, unrest, riots, uprisings and multiple changes of regime across Europe.
The global Western domination led by the US has been lost.
China is the most developed country in the world.
The West led by the US is in a self destructive mode, has collapsed and China just has to watch the continued rapid decline of the West.

gambojimeta:

In addition, If Ukraine is nuked, Russia too will receive radiation from the blast.

Russia has outlined the conditions under which it'll use nuclear weapons.

AlexBells:

You just prove the old saying never argue with a fool cause they drag you to their level and beat you with experience, go first and learn the different between invasion and annexation, Ukraine had always panicked with every step Russia has taken, even victory comes with a cost, in a war nobody wins so there will always be concern in both sides so far as the war persist, Putin is even more worried. Good morning, and I have concluded this particular debate with you

You were arguing with yourself, i stated the facts while ignoring your foolery.
I do not consider this to be a debate.

DWickedLandLord:
Russia keeps pump faking
If you really want it with the US do the needful

No be by mouth.


*Believe what you wish, China is the only country that can look America in the eye.
More so because of their bank account n endless personnel.

Russia's finances is not built for a long drawn out war with a heavyweight.

Russia has outlined the conditions under which it'll use nuclear weapons.

AlexBells:

How much have Ukraine proved that no Fvck is given, Lyman has just been retaken, I’m neutral in this war, and you are just an emotional blind supporter, you have no military training (formal or informal) nor international politics views, you just say whatever that comes to your mind thinking it can hide your ignorance, I can’t give you further pointers to show you that Russia don’t see nuke as an option in the Ukraine, there’s no need talking further with you on this, I can’t come down to your level in this regards, I will be glad to hand you the trophy. Russia can solely go ahead and nuke Ukraine

If Ukraine was confident of 'winning' they shouldn't be concerned about the results of the referendum.
Action speaks louder than words.
Ukraine wins on social media.

Mickykarim:


OF COURSE, WHEN DEAD BRAIN CELLS CARRIERS ARE BROW BEATEN INTO PULP, THE NET RESORT IN INSULTS. THE ONLY AND BEST THING YOU ARE GOOD IN, PERHAPS.

Mr. FOOLISH, go for a bit of grasp at least, of history and stop fooling around.

All your fallacious hypotheses no concern me.
Russia has outlined the conditions under which it'll use nuclear weapons and that's as far as I'm concerned.
I'm uninterested in your tales by moonlight.

AlexBells:

What is fact here you are the one speculating, by opining that Russia can nuke and may nuke Ukraine that’s speculative, there’s no nuclear threat to Russia and Russia is more worried about nuclear chaos than anyone else, without nuke monopoly, Russia wouldn’t be a world power in the first place and If Nuclear control collapse, long term Russia lose relevance this is a fact

The simple fact here is 'Bleep around and find out'

Mickykarim:


YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY AN IGNORAMUSE WHO IS DELVING INTO WHAT YOU ARE NOT CUT OU FOR.

Did Israel invade and annexed part of Germany because there are Jews of Israeli extractions in the country. You people are so dunce that you would rather proffer NONSENSE simply to win a STUPID unfounded illogical argument.

Did the Russians in Ukraine asked and or begged to be part of Russian and at what time and when did that happen? Putin Russia INVADED a sovereign country, for God's sake!

THINK AGAIN AND STOP YOUR NAKED MARKET DANCE, PLEASE.

Save your lame, misguided and ludicrous arguments.
This is the real definition of Bleep around and find out.

AlexBells:

You are concerned on the fact ground yet you are speculating and saying you are not speculating or dabbling in hearsay. The fact on ground is Russia and Ukraine is fighting a conventional war, your assumption that Russia can use nukes to defend a territory annexed from Ukraine at the heat of war is speculative, even Russia’s core allies don’t recognize the current annexation so Russia is not under any threat. So you quite the speculation and hearsay, Russia’s capacity to use nuke when threatened does not really include the case of the annexed regions of Ukraine for now. Anything can happen however but that’s speculative so let’s deal of facts, Russia hasn’t used nuke yet and that’s all and when she does it shall come with consequences

I'm only concerned with facts, not speculations, wild assumptions and hearsays.
