The Russian stock market lost 8% of its value today in anticipation of the full war announcement ....investors dont like war and the instability it brings

Another " legitimate Russian referendum " ....let me guess, these will be options Do you want to join Russia Do you want full independence from Ukraine

But Monty the Kurds dont have a country so how can they be invaded?

You would think the constant appalling Russian military atrocities and war crimes would not surprise us anymore But they still do shock me

Now you talking Gorthfuscious 💞

Oh my hat, its looking more and more unlikely the " new world Russian led order " is going to materialize Dammit, guess I should stop my Mandarin and Russian language classes

Oh its very believable and wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

Zora is talking about the drone attacks against the Saudis within Saudi Arabia from Yemen But I have never heard of them having advanced kit that can be used to stop suicide drones so Im interested because I dont follow these types of military details?

Im watching the procession and ceremony and its really impressive, extremely well done. Sad but something to see, the end of era. Imagine living a life where so many people care about your passing and are truly emotional I mentioned this on another post but one of the several things I will never forget about the Queens' funeral is how many people came from all over the world to pay their respects Yesterday on Sky they interviewed a group of 6 women, age 60-65, from the US who hadnt slept for 40 hours and were in the line to see the coffin, they were asked "why did you come all the way from the US" and they said "her life and actions is something we really admire and we wanted to pay our respects. We wouldnt do this for any US politician " ....says something about how the Queen resonated with people globally 👑

Nice to see you recognising the Queens passing Gothforscious, it took long enough And most people dont celebrate at funerals, maybe in Denmark but generally you mourn and pay respect in most countries and cultures?

Im 60 hours into BG2 and as was expected Im loving it, I have just got to Chapter 3 and I had to ruminate on who I should align with Bodhi or the Shadow Thieves. It was tough decision because Bodhi offered advantages like she was less arrogant and didnt attack me immediately, possible hot Vampiress Romance and a litany of magic items But I then decided I couldnt align with the undead against humans so I decided to assist the Shadow Thieves And then I have been on some excellent side quests like The Planar Sphere, Umar Hills and the entire Windspear Hills and the Firkraag story arc I am also enjoying the cheesy BG2 Romance mod and the entertaining dialogue options. My Romance with Viconia is proceeding nicely and so is my Vienxay relationship I also dropped Hexxat as a party member and included Valygar because he is more effective fighter and archer Further updates to follow

This is so true and brilliant

What advanced kit have the Saudis got to stop Iranian suicide drone attacks, Im interested?

Great read about the Ukrainians fortitude to resist Putins War and how the West will stay the course and continue to support Ukraine

https://nypost.com/2022/09/12/democrats-spend-53m-to-boost-far-right-gop-candidates/ This is so wrong. In certain states the Democrats have attacked moderate Republicans and paid for huge advertising so MAGA candidates win in the primaries So I guess Biden was wrong and the MAGA supporters arent the " threat to the core values of Democracy in the US " that he was grandstanding about. Because clearly when it suit the Dems politically they fine Kamala Harris refused to condemn this hypocrisy on Meet the Press, such a disappointment when people are so inconsistent with what they say they stand for. And people accuse the GOP of falseness and hyperbole

Nothing is more cringe than Putin sitting at his long table when he was obsessed and paranoid about the virus https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/vladimir-putin-ukraine-russia-crisis-long-table-kremlin-memes-rcna16670

Its amazing to see the hundreds of thousands of people who are prepared to wait up to 24 hours in a queue to see the Queens coffin and say final goodbyes. Much of UK family spent 12-14 hours to pay there tributes I really admire this type of commitment to the UK monarchy and its testament to the real support they have, people have travelled all the way from the US, Africa and Australia to name a few countries. And the temperature on Friday was 7 degrees celsius (45°F). https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/queue-see-queens-coffin-closes-temporarily-after-reaching-capacity-2022-09-16/

Yes I think you right, performance art...that makes more sense

https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/tournament-of-champions Anyone who loves cooking reality shows and cooking competitions this is the BEST show you will ever watch. These are considered the most highly rated US competitive cooking chefs at the time of each season based on several metrics Its more exciting than Iron Chef America

Thats cute, I like that You see this is art and something all of us can appreciate and understand. Some of this modern day art is .....distorted One of my friends girlfriends in JHB attended an art school in Germany and she told me the art professor was demonstrating what they call impressionist art (?? ) and he stood in front of the class and poured vomit all over himself as symbol of rejection of the reality of the state of art according to him That type of behavior is shocking, he should be in a mental asylum. She thought it was great and meaningful

Im not sure whats the point of this, is it a joke comparing the Queen to the brutal NK leadership? Is this an opportunity for outrage or humor?

Excellent interview and I agree with most of it, it always highlights the unlikely reality of the " new world order "

Absolutely appalling, add to the long list of Russian war crimes

Its a great point but crossing the border into Russia would be an egregious mistake because now Putin would gain the " moral high ground " and motivate the entire Russian military machine and public sentiment And then we can no longer raise the truth about the unprovoked invasion as Putin will be now defending his country I think this would make him stronger
