Sure but we still want the Nordstrom pipe providing gas than not providing gas. If Putin turns it off later I agree he can do that and EU and Germany will be impacted. But the concern was after the normal yearly maintenance Putin would not turn the gas back on And that would have impacted Germany and the whole EU economic recovery I dont see how it helps the EU economy if Scholtz decides to not use Russian gas because there arent working alternatives at the moment? But the EU will move away from Russia gas and then Germany can decide that I misunderstood your initial fishing analogy but I see what you saying but for me its not worth it due to the economic impact to leave Russia empty handed There are too many other real issues to do this now

I stopped believing anything from any Russian official since 2014 after the Crimean " referendum "

I miss the ME game world and characters, its good hearing your stories

I have finally started on BG1 EE with a good selection of mods but I decided not to use Sword Coast Stratagems or Tweaks because those mods really enhance the ruleset for hardcore fans and Im not going to play this game multiple times, like all games, so the standard EE ruleset is fine. I have just left Candlekeep and Im on my way to the Friendly Arm Inn with my 3 x companions that include Imoen, Xzar and Montaron. Imoen is already annoying me with her naïve banter but she is cute and means well. I am looking forwarding to meeting up with Viconia and hearing some adult views of the world I must say its great knowing a wolf can kill you, being 1st level makes the early journey exciting and risky but worth it

Great feedback, thanks Elerond. Have you been to Estonia?

I bought some Ox liver today, I am going to cook it for dinner tonight with mash potato I always cook all liver the same way. I fry it on low heat with onion and butter, its going to be delicious 🍖

Estonia looks really nice. Very clean and organized and free public transport in most parts of the capital Tallinn. Scooters are used for transport for many people. My brother is staying in whats known as old town and its got a real medieval look to it Here are some photos, beautiful parks

Okay, my bad. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Your post sounds like it ?

It sounds like you want the EU to be subjected to Russian energy blackmail?

Please Dark, no more ZH predictions. I get so anxious because I always believe you and then its not true My blood pressure cant handle it

And, stop being coy. Who is part of your Romance arcs, it must be Miranda in ME2 ....I love Miranda (I prefer the original Miranda of course ) 💞

Im surprised considering all the weapons being given to the Ukrainians but Im pleasantly surprised The objective for the EU is to not be dependent on any Ruskie energy but it takes time and we dont want the EU to suffer unnecessarily until thats done Once the West is not dependent on any energy from Russia then we can really ramp up the sanctions because the West hasnt done that yet because of certain transactions that are required

That is interesting. But Iran has been preparing for a bombing campaign for years, they have quite effective anti-aircraft defenses? It will cost the Israelis if they attack unilaterally What do you know about the Iranian defenses compared to the Israeli air force and will the US help directly with a bombing campaign from what you believe? I am not so sure with Biden but Trump would have helped, thats another advantage with a Trump presidency. He was more decisive around this type of geopolitical conflict

https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-release-date Here is a summary of the sequence of events of the problems Paradox has had around development, its still in development but the closest the project came to being cancelled was when the original developers, Hardsuit Labs , were fired Im cautiously optimistic that this game will be released but it concerns me Paradox wont announce who the new developers are. Why keep it secret?

Iran would never directly attack Israel using there army or using nukes because the latter would wipe Israel\Tel Aviv out because its a tiny country but then Iran would also be wiped off the face of the earth because the Israelis have nukes for a deterrent. So Iran is not suicidal But you still cant allow the hardliners in Iran to ever get nukes because they definitely cant be trusted if you just look at the numerous proxy wars in the ME that is supported by Shia fundamentalism and more importantly if Iran has nukes the Saudis and the Sunni states will want nukes and then you have a nuclear arms race in the ME which has to be avoided if you consider how volatile the region is That why the previous Iranian sanctions were supported by the entire UNSC, all 5 members agreed that Iran cant get nuclear technology. They just didnt all say it openly But Putin's War has changed this consensus but you dont need consensus from the UNSC to stop Iran getting nukes Its up to the hardliners in Iran to not go down this path, they have plenty of time to change the course they on and lets hope they do

Its fine to laugh about Iran and the response to them developing nuclear weapons but just so there is no doubt. Iran will never be allowed to develop nuclear technology. You cant possibly think that will happen, it will destabilize the ME and neither Israel or the Gulf states will accept that. So either Israel will act unilaterally, with political support from the Gulf States and the US, or the US will act with support from Israel and the Gulf States So if Iran continues on this path there will definitely be another conflict in the ME but it will the fault of the hardliners in Iran. Not anyone else

https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-says-losing-because-ukraine-104546288.html Now we know the irrefutable truth, the truth is out !!! The Ukrainians are creating mutant soldiers, thats why the Russian military campaign has been so ineffective. No one can fight mutants 👾

Comrade welcome back, I was just saying how much I missed your posts 💞 How are the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine going? You wont believe this but the war is still ongoing and the $ is still the worlds reserve currency...gold hasn't replaced it and we still haven't seen a new world economic order led by Russia But the fish and chips financial payment system is still possible

I dont think the supreme court will overturn same sex marriage in the US, I was watching an interview with one of the Conservative judges and he said its not the same as R vs W because thats about the taking of a life according to him But I am concerned so I want to see what happens, do you know SA is the only country on the entire African continent that allows same sex marriage? I didnt realize how few countries allow same sex marriage https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-where-gay-marriage-is-legal

Wow, the Dems are now also worried interracial marriages are now going to be made illegal, bit of fearmongering I think ?

I am very seldom shocked by new lows from the Russians but you right ...another new low And whats worse is the " we invaded Ukraine to end fascism " You know Russia is hosting the worlds first anti-fascism conference in August, can you imagine the countries that will be attending? The worlds worst autocratic and failed states that should include China, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Cuba, NK , Eritrea and Syria. I can just imagine them sitting in a room and all agreeing " how fascist and evil the West is and how they all care about good leadership " https://thepostmillennial.com/russia-to-host-first-international-antifascist-conference-to-fight-nazism

But how do you know there is no soul/spirit ? What about ghosts, dont tell me you guys dont believe in ghosts either? Haven't you guys watched all these haunting shows on Travel Channel ...there are literally hundreds of these shows, they cant all be fake news surly 👻

Good choice, there are not enough positive stories about legal gun ownership in the US and how this has led to lives being saved and mass shooters being killed by gun owners. Like this story yesterday in a mall in Indiana which was also covered on CNN https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/07/18/greenwood-park-mall-shooting-indianapolis-indiana/10084818002/

Nice, is always good to be protected. What gun are you planning on getting?
