⚡Russia ambassador was asked why they no longer quote classics like Shakespeare, Carroll, Dostoesvky.

If you keep rolling with people like that, you'll end up getting banned because it's not easy to deal with idiots for long without losing your cool.

Even me learned fast. I had to take a step back to re-read all my comments and it was as if I wasn't the one writing them.

I'll just leave he and his ilk to continue to wallow in the mud where they belong.

He and his ilk are just like pigs. Put a pig in an air-conditioned mansion, it will feel uncomfortable and return to the mud where it belongs. Dirt is their home.

You can take the pig out of the mud, but you can never take the mud out of the pig.

That's why they have no problem replying every comment with insults and going through people's profiles to look for things they posted on other threads to use against them.

When 40-year-old men with teenage kids begin acting like teenage kids themselves, then heaven knows how their kids act. Are they the ones raising their kids, or are their kids the ones raising them?

Useless products of bad home training and failed parenting.

They will call him a putan and a defector.

The last paraphrase
Ofc there's no price for security. There are obligations from NATO states that must be met, The Defense industry is the power of the state, it isn't cheap to get power. You think NATO is a give away venture or it's jokes and parties? lol.

There are NATO standards, probably the only standard above Russian standard. It isn't cheap bro.

If the Money Russia has spent and are spending in the war, Russia has used it to further economical ties with Ukraine, Ukraine probably won't have seen the need to join NATO.

But they think it is by war. I hope the US pass the Military aid to Ukraine soon. EU has passed theirs.

One thing is just certain, Ukraine/NATO would prosper than ever. Deep down in our hearts we know if it's economic development, leave it for US/EU.

S.Korea, Japan, even Hong Kong before it was relinquished to China, Stable economies and strong links with a powerful state.

Joining EU/NATO for Ukraine is in their best interest.

Ukraine and NATO started the war as far back as 10 years ago, pretending it was Russia that started the war is another falsehood you shouldn't peddle.

If NATO and Ukraine had used the money they used in buying weapons, building biogas and funding soldiers to kill ethnic Russians in some parts of Ukraine prior to 2022, there wouldn't have been need for Russia to intervene.

How come Ukraine didn't use all these monies to better their economy and country, rather used them to serve their NATO masters all because they wanted to join the gang of bullies?

I swear. The idiot has been waxing lyrical since. Ranting like a stray dog. He should move to russia. Simple! Say whatever you want to say about the west. No system is perfect. i can bet my life that if carlson was to a chinese or russian citizen and pull the stunt of going to interview an hostile power he wont live to tell the tale can TCN even exist in the first place. It would have been censored into oblivion with carlson in jail. Jimmy lai, the apple daily. A pro democracy media mogul in hong kong that was persecuted under a vague national security law can testify. Can tucker even leave the home country to interview putin? Even if he did. He dare not return. But tucker did the unprecedented and still roaming. You gotta applaud the west.


The guy is just being funny.
He couldn't gather the courage to ask Putin about his political opponent's allegations against him(Putin).

It existed much earlier than 1948, much earlier, long long before Arab Palestinians migrated and occupied the lands that historically belonged to Jews.

History records are there for all to read. And I don't even mean the holy books.
many of palestinians even syrians are pure desendants from the original tribes of Israel, even so how would you feel if you buy a land and after many years the great grand chidren of the seller stakes claim to your land. if every nation start to lay stake to ancestral lands wahala go dey. just imagine if the people of Edo and Detla stake a claim to their ancestral lands of the acient benin empire.

The better question is how come many of EU & NATO countries haven't used this so called money to better their economies, all this while.

70% of EU & NATO countries are dirt poor. Some have been members for decades with nothing to show for it.

Where is the so called prosperity? I'll tell you where. It is meant for the US and a select few western countries only. The US doesn't like to share prosperity. It doesn't like to see others progress.

It'll rather destroy you or go to war with you than see you compete economically with it, on a level playing field. Nordstream pipelines comes to mind.


Destroy their cheap Russian gas pipelines, then start selling super expensive LNG to Germany, at 5 times the original price, just to weaken it economically.

That's why all of the U.S neighbors, aside Canada in North America and Latin America are swimming in poverty.

Charity begins at home, first make peace and share wealth to your next door neighbors in the America's before going to far away Europe.

Only fools don't see this.

I don't understand you, what's wrong in Ukraine becoming a powerful state?.

Power is the only thing recognized in the community of nations. National security is paramount for economic growth.

Why do you think the US has the biggest economy in the World? With 250M+ population and second, China has bout 1b+ population?

If you rule a country won't you try atleast to keep it safe? Security is not cheap.

You're okay with Russia overstepping UKraine sovereignty cos they don't want UKraine to become a powerful state?

All the biogas nonsense, the only proof is that Putin said it, in the educated era that we are in. why would anyone shun common sense for propaganda.

Them say na gang of bullies, if Putin wants to roll with the gang he should be humble. There are standards.

Fair enough.

If they could coexist peacefully in a two-state solution. I'm all in support.

But Hamas has demonstrated over and over again that they don't want peace. What they want is destruction of Israel.

Seeing that what they (Hamas) want is total destruction of original landowners, then the conflict will surely continue till either one is weakened and defeated.

Fortunately for them, they have a fully functioning democratic society. They have robust checks and balances to checkmate their own balablu if he misbehaves and make wrong presidential decisions. Quite unlike our own balablu; no checks, no balance, no progress.
