So you guys are alt-accounts of each other, glad someone is finally being honest about who is real and who is not I appreciate the honesty

Dont worry Malc you will get your military Russian victory against the vastly under resourced Ukrainian army and the fact the Russian military has much more troops and military hardware. No need to be worried that a no-fly zone would make things more even. Also remember Russia is use to levelling cities to the ground with their air force from miles up in the air So this delay is because now the Russian military is fighting on the ground without the benefit of their air force and destroying the entire city where the enemy is. Like we witnessed in Grozny and Aleppo

Yes and some people actually were cheering on this invasion because its all about Nazis. I promise you its true Comrade, they really believed that Oh and you know the Ukrainian president is Jewish but since when did the truth stop Putins misinformation and propaganda

When you going to eat your hat by the way? Here is a link that shows how some deliver on what they say but my advice is go to a local cake shop and ask for a cake made to look like a hat and eat that ? That is also fine because technically it doesnt have to be a real hat, thats what I would do in your situation ? https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/bitcoin-user-eats-own-hat-literally/

Why would you be surprised when a country is invaded and their is a wide diaspora of its citizens that some people would not return to fight for their country? Especially considering the history of Ukraine and the fact the current president was Democratically elected through a transparent election ? But yes I agree, if people are going to fight the Russian invasion they need to understand its not some first world country where your rights are guaranteed....we talking about real war here

I am now 20 hours into the Forest so its a good amount of time for an objective view of the game. Its great fun and I recommend it to people who like this type of genre which I classify as survival. I am using the map and compass because I dont want the hardcore experience which I can imagine is more rewarding but I am happy with my survival decision I have started crafting useful items like a Bow and I have some effective range weapons like a bomb and Molotov ****tail I also have started exploring the dangerous cave system and encountered enemies that are more than cannibals ...in fact they more than human I cant say I will definitely finish this game but I am having loads of fun and lots of scary moments

Something else which I want to recognize is the thousands of Russians involved in anti-War and and anti-Putin protests in Russia and other countries And to protest in Russia is really dangerous because Putin doesnt really tolerate citizens expressing their displeasure with government https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russia-detains-over-3000-anti-war-protestors-demonstrating-against-invasion-of-ukraine-articleshow.html

Okay I tried, in the interests of " hearing both sides " I watched RT for 10 minutes but the gaslighting and misinformation made me nauseous and I had stop watching or I would have sick But I tried so you can give me that at least

But you can trust most international news agencies with journalists on the ground in Ukraine, for example Gorthfuscious you can trust the stories that highlight the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine right ?

Im pleasantly surprised, Anonymous is involved in hacking that I support ...I never thought I would see that day

Yes but this has been raised, Putin is not thinking rationally and this Ukrainian invasion was miscalculated I have seen from several sources that since Covid lockdowns Putin has isolated himself from most of his advisors because he has this irrational obsession with " not getting the virus " and that could be one of the reasons for this entire badly thought out invasion Thats why Macron sat opposite him at the end of that huge table https://www.firstpost.com/world/emmanuel-macron-sits-across-vladimir-putin-at-long-table-after-snubbing-russian-covid-year-10368021.html

https://www.russia-briefing.com/news/spfs-russia-s-alternative-to-swift.html/ ( this was written before the Ukraine invasion so you can ignore his warnings about " an invasion " ) and this article is " pro-Russian " and basically supports SPFS SWIFT is by far the most widely used and integrated financial payment system in the world and the alternatives like SPFS is really only used internally within Russia so its not gong to make much difference. The whole point of SWIFT is predominantly the intra-country trade and financial payment benefits Real alternatives to SWIFT would have to used by the majority of banks globally and thats not the reality for SPFS or any other similar system So freezing out Russia from SWIFT would have unprecedented economic consequences for Russia unlike anything the Ruskies have ever experienced but it would also directly harm the economies of any country trading with Russia in any way which has to be considered before this type of financial sanction is implemented So its understandable if Germany is reluctant, I would also be reluctant if I was Germany. I think we need to wait a while before the SWIFT " punishment" is implemented which exactly what is happening One more thing, what makes SWIFT " punishment " more easier to implement is if the US is behind it. Because what will happen is the US creates its own set of sanctions that says " you mustnt trade with country xx " which translates to US companies cannot legally do business with these countries. This in turn creates real choices for companies outside the US who have to decide " do we take the risk of trading with company x in country y and face possible US financial sanctions " which very few global companies would be prepared to do and thats also understandable But this is the big stick approach to making SWIFT freezing really be effective and its a long way off because it takes time. I dont think you need SWIFT banning yet, once the invasion is over the current sanctions should make the point ?

The arrogance of Putin knows no bounds, now he is threatening both Sweden and Finland not to join NATO https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/finland-sweden-brush-off-moscows-warning-joining-nato-83126927

What a strange expectation, many East Europeans have ethnic and cultural ties with Ukrainians ....they dont have the same ties with Syrians. So no its nothing to do with racism

Im watching on Al-Jazeera and I am very impressed with number of East European countries opening their borders to Ukrainian refugees, its great to see that type of solidarity

The Taliban calling for diplomacy Russia has support from its autocratic allies like Belarus and Chechnya which is what you expect And then Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba have " recognized " the separatist states so they would recognize a Ruskie controlled Ukraine. So to answer your question many failed states and failed socialist experiments will support Russia. But its to be expected but they dont matter from a sanction or things like a SWIFT perspective

Dont worry Belarus will also be facing sanctions for enabling the invasion, Im not surprised Kazakhstan said no https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/why-russias-invasion-of-ukraine-led-to-sanctions-on-belarus/ar-AAUjliY

So you have been correct in almost all your predictions and especially you have been right in the big ones like " will Putin be foolish enough to invade Ukraine " So what do you think is his goal next once the Ukrainian military is defeated ? Would he implement a puppet government or maybe an open Russian military occupation?

His comments, lies and propaganda has steadily become more irrational and bizarre its hard to not agree he is suffering from a some sort of psychosis. For example the one big fabrication is " we are invading Ukraine to stop the Neo-Nazis " as if Ukraine is like Germany in ww2 when in fact the small numbers of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine I doubt is anymore than the Neo-Nazis in Russia. Sure they exist but they a tiny part of the population? Its unlikely the West will ever align with Iran like that, and that includes the EU, until we see a change of the current hardliner leadership in Iran. The hardliners in Iran are vociferously and constantly anti-Western and have actively been involved in pushing their own Shia fundamentalism and destabilizing the ME. Just one example, Iran is involved in Yemen because they are funding and supporting the Houthis that are fighting the Saudis and their proxies within Yemen. And Iran openly supported, they sent Quds forces, and funded Assad in Syria so they very much involved in the internal conflicts of other countries Welcome to the reality of SM and how some people comment on parts of the Internet. But its been like this for about 6-8 years so you just ignore it and try not to get emotionally effected and you say what you want to say or negative rate a comment ? But I wouldnt allow myself to get disgusted because then you letting a strangers views influence your current emotional state. Just intellectualize it ...its not personal unless you want to express emotion but concerning political and ideological debates on the Internet I would caution against doing that

Nice Wormie, it sounds great

Good to know, I was just checking

But can you set snares and traps to kill animals ? Because if you want to kill an animal how would you do it if you cant use a gun anymore ?

Mamie !!! Stop being a " commie loving subversive " You mustnt support Putin, he is bad. He lied and we dont like people who are warmongers and who lie Besides we both know who the real enemy is....and the war against SJWism is much worse and serious than anti-Western rhetoric

Yes their is no chance of this invasion ever being recognized or forgotten about by most of the world. Exactly like the sanctions over Crimea this will never go away until Russia pulls out of Ukraine and stops trying to recreate its own borders for Ukraine Russia will defeat the Ukrainian army, thats inevitable but the question for me is what next? Will we see a Russian puppet state and some sort of occupation? An occupation will become a nightmare for Russia especially with a hostile population and the increased sanctions

Raithe only you could find something like this
