It is mostly true. Most of the private companies were nationalized in the past and sold to Putin's friend who became the oligarchs as we know it. Gazprom is one of such assets. When the government is dissatisfied, they take out some of these oligarchs. About 5 Gazprom execs have died mysteriously this year alone.

This oligarchy thing that is being bandied as a Russian thing is so wrong.

The Russian business men and billionaires have barely little to no say in the control of govt. If anything, those guys are in the firm grip of FSB and FSB controls them mostly.

The country where oligarchy exists is the USA , because it is the business men and billionaires there that control the govt and decide on what policies they should pass. They disguise it as lobbying

In summary, Contrary to what the western media tells you, the west is being control by powerful oligarchs, but Russia is not.

The brave people of Iran are pushing the Islamic regime out of their country.

Free Iran from the dictators.

( Haniya)

It's just a normal regime change/coup in a typical Arab country. Another regime not different from the old one will take over and give them few years of "freedom" before they tighten the noose again. And the cycle continues

Whobedatte:

Japan ,Singapore and South Korea are strong US allies , only china is a non ally in Asia .

You mean US colonies with US military forces permanently occupying Japan and South Korea �

I mean Russia and china are allies of North Korea, but you don't see them plant their flags or military forces there, that is because they are allies and not a colony.

The only true ally of the US is UK and may be France They respect one another in a mutual way, as well as see one another as equals and don't fear one another like a colony would fear their colonizer. The rest of them, from EU, especially Germany as the leader, to Japan to Korea, etc are all USA colonies who don't have independent foreign policies of their own, except the ones forced on them by USA to follow, the USA don't see them as equals, and they obey all commands from Washington for fear of sanctions

iykofiias:
Putin and the Emir of Qatar meet on the sidelines of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building in Asia (CICA) summit where heads of state will exchange views on a wide range of bilateral and international issues.

From the look of things, Putin is spear heading a new world order before our very eyes, dividing the world into east and west.

Somehow, the Eastern power house countries, majorly Asia are coming together, forming a new economic block.

I'm not a fan of the west, but they are fighting an existential war against Russia who is out to reduce their influence massively with these moves, using Ukraine as their meat grinder and foot soldiers.

They won't fave Russia directly for obvious reasons, (Russia has nukes). If not, Putin would have ended up like Gahdaffi, who attempted something similar on a much smaller scale in Africa

HolinessForever:
Iran continues to play a role in Putin's war in Ukraine.

Iran sold 2,400 Shahed-136 kamikaze UAVs to Russia, which will be used against Ukraine.

Iran is going to end up being very rich with this free promo that their drones are getting from Russia.

A lot of countries in the east will start making their orders

RepoMan007:
If they had militarized since 1992, I doubt Russia would have invaded. I blame them for being neutral in a bid to please Russia as a puppet.

Don't be naive. That was part of the condition for their independence.

If anything, their present predicament was caused by not remaining neutral and allowing the USA to deceive them into picking a side by joining NATO. , which by the way , I doubt will happen. USA is only using them as cannon fodde4s to provoke Russia, which is working perfectly as we speak

tamdun:

Nothing, they'll just make noise as usual

But Putin is wise enough not to try it.

The west and their army of media conglomerates will just make a mathyr out of him(Zelensky)

So it's a wrong move, even year one Military academy student knows that.

ariesbull:
����❗❗❗Presidents of Belarus and Vladimir Putin agreed to deploy a joint regional group of troops

It's like Russia is planning a full scale invasion

JUST IN
Power outage in several Ukrainian cities after wave of intense Russian missile strikes on the energy infrastructure.

So the air raids was targeting power plants and wasn't some random hit on the city. The civilians that were hit were just "collateral damage" like Americans will call it.

This is getting crazy

RepoMan007:
A thorough one on Russia will avoid a WWIII.

You think Russia is some third world middle eastern country you can wipe out with just one or two carrier strike group. God help us all

Lol. Russia also was running a constitution of two terms. Putin only influenced the Duma to approve a bill that allows the president to contest even after using two terms as long as he is not doing it for a third consecutive term. Putin was first elected twice between 2000 and 2008. Then Medvedev became president and appointed putin prime minister for another four years. Putin came back in 2012 then influenced Duma again to allow him recontest in 2018. Ukraine is still a fledgling democracy and this can easily happen. Winning a war is one of those things that can make a president more influential and powerful. Zelensky has already shown several dictatorship traits, even much more than Putin. If Russia loses the war, he will become a bigger monster.

What Putin did in Russia , almost happened to Nigeria with Obasanjo in 2006, when he almost convinced the National assembly to change the constitution to grant him third term, He bribed them with Ghana must go bags full of money. It almost worked, but Atiku twarted the plan because he had an ambition of becoming president, himself (and not necessarily because he loved the country ).

Note that it was easy for Obasanjo to make such proposition because our democracy was still young then. No president can try such again now because we are now matured.

Zelensky tested the waters with banning of opposition parties. Tomorrow he may want to remove term limits from his presidency before you know it, it becomes a slippery slope into dictatorship from there

RepoMan007:
Keep speculating. So you putards' mean a comedian can transform into a dictator? Putin about to be put under house arrest because he couldn't outwit a common comedian lol

It's not even about the war though. It's just a general observation about Ukraine and USA alliance with them.

After the war, whether Ukraine wins or loose, one thing is sure. Ukraine will become more powerful militarily because the USA and EU will pump more weapons for them to prevent another invasion, so as to make them.a buffer against Russia militarily , the way Indian is to China in Asia, so they will want someone will not go out of control to control all that power.

Someone we bought for RW. We move am go left, still playing nonsense. Na goalkeeper them go soon carry am go.

We need to cash out.

We need to be cashing out.

We should have cashed out Ronaldo.
We didn't cash out Pogba.
Many others.

This is something we all know about. But we should wait till his rep has finished before selling him, if we want to?

The club can still get something in the range of 30 -50m out of Sancho. Instead for them to sell him and move on to other players, they'll wait till his rep is badly damaged up to a point that no one won't even want him on loan, nevermind buying him.

ovoP:
This is why I said.. we pushing rashy to the right to accommodate sancho last season was a disaster.. rashford can play useless and score an hattrick.. sancho doesn't make forward runs.. doesn't have strength to fend of defenders or pace to beat them

it was a big mistake. Even Ole as clueless as he is won't make that mistake.

It was also the reason why we missed out on Rashford s goals last season, which could have helped us in the top 4 race.

One constant about Rashford is the end product. He might play rubbish all game, but he will still give you that goal/assist from that LW. Sancho won't give us that. at the moment, even if he's playing well, nevermind now that he's been shitty nowadays

RepoMan007:
Ukraine don't run a chaotic constitution that allows president spend decades in power. Russia, N. Korea and China do. That means zelensky won't stay beyond 2030 at most by which time Ukraine can never recover and grow big enough to disturb even Russia.

Ukraine has the tendency to become a dictatorship if the USA don't monitor them closely. Zelensky has already banned all opposition party in the middle of the war, claiming that they are pro Russia.


Note that all dictators usually start well. And they are very much usually loved at the beginning before they start consolidating their power. After that, they become gods to themselves.

No one batted an eye because Zelensky is currently popular, and he's the people's darling at the moment, so he can do no wrong. Don't forget,, Ukraine is as corrupt as they come.

If USA don't want to loose grip of Ukraine like it did with Iraq after the way, they should ensure a regime change after Zelensky tenure is over, if not, they will repeat the Sadam Hussein mistake all over again.

Holiness2100:
Ukraine's Zelensky calls on NATO to launch "preemptive strikes" against Russia to "eliminate the possibility" of a Russian nuclear strike.

Last last, USA will end up eliminating Zelensky after the whole Russia Ukraine war is over. Because, as he becomes more popular and Ukraine becomes stronger military wise, if they beat Russia, he will end up becoming worse than Putin and the west won't be able to control him because it seems he has some big balls

It will be Sadam Hussein 2.0 for the west.

iykofias:
The EU has extended its anti-Russian sanctions to the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the EU Council reports.

Does this count as recognition of Russian sovereignty over these territories?

LoL. Seems so. If not, why will they be sanctioning their ally, Ukraine, or sorry Russia, sorry it belongs to Ukraine, whatever, everything is now confusing for EU at the moment

leobergy:


Ukrainians are evil,putin should unleash hell on them abeg

I don't know why he's(Putin) holding back honestly. Even people in his government are starting to loose patience with him.

Even the west were surprised he didn't go full Iraq on Ukraine, That is leveling important cities and government infrastructure including Power supply and transport infrastructure like USA did in Iraq.

Whatever game is playing, everyone is confused at the moment.

mostob:
To be very honest, I was surprised our U17 beat Galatasaray women team reason why I said Flamingoes probably played the academy and not the main team.

Imagine a team of Pro who has been training in a modern facility and widely exposed losing to a team of 16-year old.

Aside the fact that Galatasaray are much more stronger and in proper shape, they have been exposed to modern tactics and technicalities.

O wrong nau

A lot of European leagues, especially in Eastern Europe (bother male and female) are actually shit.

If we had our acts together locally and have a good local League that also pays well like the North African Leagues, a lot of our guys won't be languishing all over Eastern Europe, just to earn peanuts and we have good enough teams to provide competition for their development here.

Swedish authorities report that the gas leak from the Nord Stream 2 hole in the Swedish Economic Zone is increasing in strength.

It seems as if the Russians are pumping gas into the pipeline.

As long as there is gas, it won’t be possible to get close to investigate

Or probably just using it as a means to flare the gas far away from their border.

If they close the tap on their end, they will have to be flaring the excess gas on their end

odizeey:


One thing we should learn is to count our losses early.

Move on. I'm really disappointed in the guy. A shame.

The bolded is our problem.

After next season, if Sancho still doesn't play like the 70million pound player, we should just move on from him and sell him for 40-50m before his value drops further and move on to another talent or player, sometimes, the player might not be bad , but he just doesn't fit with the club or coach at the time.

But no, the idiots at the club won't do that, instead, they will offer such player a new contract

Deltamani:


The Midfield is collapse, No Alexia and Aitana
Just Patri, and Mariona is majorly a wide midfielder..

Aitana is the major difference. She's the one that usually drop in front of the defence to receive turn and carry the ball out, no matter how many players mark or press her Patri can't do that. Whenever Aitana is injured Alexia was always available to do that job, and vice versa. But two of them being out at the same time is what caused the collapse. For the past 3 or 4 seasons of Barca playing the midfield Trio of Patri Aitana and Alexia, Both Aitana and Alexia have never missed a game together at the same time. One of them was always available at any point in time, so the lapses never showed.

mostob:
Yea...I'm aware. And it's a bad practice IMO.

It's part of the game. Especially if the coaches haven't acheived anything.

Although , in big teams, they don't have to demand for the sack of the coach if the team is underperforming, management do it themselves all the time before the players even talk.

mostob:
Well, I'm actually looking at the negative side. Walldrum is not performing to expectation,I agreed. But think of a situation where some set of players are not happy with the coach based on something else aside the team management. They can hide under the guise of 'bad tactic' and set up against the coach. The FA shouldn't allow the players to dictate for them and at the same time be fully involved on how the team is being run.

You do know that this kind of thing happen regularly in Men's football. Both club and country right. Players get coaches sacked regularly on a steady. The only difference is that those teams don't have the club management or FA go to the press and expose the players like the Spanish FA did by going to the press, and releasing a statement after those players demanded a manager change in private with the FA , just to blackmail the girls into silence.

In men's football, the club or FA usually ask the players for more time for the coach or set an ultimatum or target for the coach to meet.

baralatie:

The NAZi members are still there and is they are barred in Germany from getting into elections(I am not sure).
When there members were caught in the west they have a goal to get back into politics and then restoration of Nazi glory!
Just like for soviets soldiers want restoration of the ussR

LoL. Which Nazis again.

You will find more politicians with Nazi ideology in USA and an openly and proud Nazi citizen in USA than you will find in Germany itself, that is if you find one that will declare himself one, because it's illegal in Germany, unlike US.

baralatie:

But the ideology is still here

Which ideology if I may ask.?

The ideology of world domination, which USA is currently on the path?

The difference between WW2 Germany and this new generation USA is just the methodology in achieving the goal. Germany wanted fast result, and that can only be achieved by military brute force, USA is doing it systematically , which takes longer and doesn't involve mass murdering on a larger scale over a short period, but there's is over a longer period

RepoMan007:
Native language he says but his assl1ckers here says they are doing NATO and Kosovo.

Motive might be different, but method is the same. That is, NATO with Kosovo and Russia with Donbass.

But the common factor was that both were wrong and violated international laws to achieve their motives and objectives.

baralatie:

Because Germany under Hitler lead the WW2

And they lost, which was good. But at some point, US will have to let off the chokehold on both Germany and Japan, because morally, it's wrong.

99.9% of people that fought that war in Hitler's generation are long dead and buried.

gambojimeta:

Ain't you contradicting yourself?

Germany is more advanced than UK yet are subordinate to the UK.

Yes, because the US and UK is occupying their country vis Military occupation, they have limits to how large their military can get, they are not allowed to have Nukes, or build carriers or any large weaponry.

Even though they have the economy, financial and technical capability to do so.


Germany and Japan are in the same Whatsapp group.

They are both advanced and rich countries that can sustain large military but they can't because USA and it's European allies (NATO) permanently occupy both countries militarily. They are not a sovereign country in any sense of it presently.

iykofias:
Zelensky's statement about Kiev's accelerated application to join NATO sounds like a direct invitation to the alliance to enter into a military conflict with Russia - Russian Parliament International Affairs Committee Chairman Leonid Slutsky.

It sounds like that to me too

The only silver-lining here, If Zelensky gets his wishes, is that Eastern Europe will become the new Middle east, with Ukraine being the epicenter.

At least Arab people will for once rest from incensant wars when US and its European allies shift away attention from them
