You right and I agree Russia has demonstrated numerous irrational and illogical decisions But I am particularly interested in the statement " we will declare war on SA if Putin is arrested " . I did some quick research and I cant find anything from Russia. All I can find is what our president said because if the Russians did say that then we mustn't arrest him, its not worth the risk even if its just a meaningless threat And if it is true so much for the Russian " friendship " with the global south and SA

Nuke us when Putin is arrested in SA .....surly not Honestly I think our government is exaggerating or lying because the ANC lost a court case around all deliberations about enforcing the BRICS warrant and now all discussions have to be public record I want to know if anything is official about this in the Russian media or government comments , have the Russians actually said " we will declare war on SA if Putin is arrested "

According to the SA government Russia has said they will declare war on SA if Putin is arrested during the BRICS conference next month I find that hard to believe that Russia would do that? And I mean the threat and going to war with SA Putin can attend BRICS virtually and if Putin drops dead tomorrow BRICS will still continue. It makes no difference to BRICS if Putin is around, its like the UN. Its not about people its about countries. I find the threat hard to believe? Can you imagine Russia invading SA

Im playing Gothic 2, I first played it about 12-13 years ago but I raged quit because I decided to be a Fire Mage and I couldn't defeat many dragons. This time I am going to be a Paladin Im about 13 hours in and its a great PB experience which include the normal open world and NO level scaling. I also like how resources like gold are scarce and everything is difficult at lower levels. Its the most effective and worthwhile way to implement risk vs reward exploration mechanics in an RPG and PB have the perfect design for this

I love Wilfred Owen. you know he was killed 1 week before WW1 ended. It was tragic My best poem of his is The Parable of the Old Man and the Young "When lo! an angel called him out of heaven, Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, Neither do anything to him. Behold, A ram, caught in a thicket by its horns; Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him. But the old man would not so, but slew his son, And half the seed of Europe, one by one "

You mean you actually took seriously the whole " big rift in NATO around the support for Ukraine " rhetoric Bidens speech was exactly what I expected. It was the normal firebrand belief in NATO and continued support with words like unwavering. The crowd loved him https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-deliver-key-speech-high-stakes-nato-summit/story?id=101166108

I enjoy these types of war stories and I didnt know anything about it so thanks for sharing I read the article but I probably need to watch the move because the article mentions POW and not young boys rounded up from Germany as you said in this post. And they did use certain methods, like distancing, that woudnt be seen as safe today but the article for me is more about the overall success of the project Anyway interesting story, I must watch the movie

But you talk about Erdogan flip-flopping, 2 days ago he was saying he first wanted EU entry talks revived and then he agrees to Sweden joining But either way its good news, well done @Azdeus and @Pidesco. You guys dont have to worry about a Russian invasion now Another win for Putin and stopping NATO enlargement

Nah, we good with cluster bombs being sent to Ukraine. As mentioned the Russians are using them so " when in Rome " and all that If you or anyone else had made a single post on this thread about how concerned you were with the Ruskies using cluster bombs in Ukraine then my opinion would be different

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/russians-died-ukraine-data-shows-moscow-hides-100997994 Here is a sobering story about the number of Russians killed in Ukraine, 50k and the Ruskies are reporting 6k dead. And this is deaths, not people wounded I always wonder how many Russians believe the constant propaganda, lies and half-truths?

I looked up this game on Steam and the summary is "Age of Barbarian Ex is an action hack 'n 'slash game inspired to 80s, fantasy and sword-and-sorcery genre. Muscular barbarians, scantily clad girls, hordes of bloodthirsty monsters, a lot of gore, a pretty epic story and an addictive soundtrack! What's best in life? " "Scantily clad girls "

Random video game news... the critical eyes have it
Im going to wait 3-4 months before I play BG3, I never play games on release because I prefer to wait for the first official fixes and updates. That way I never get a bad first impression like many gamers did over Cyb2077

Guys I just watched this video and I cant stress enough how brilliant BG3 is going to be. I strongly recommend for anyone who has doubts about BG3 to watch this. In summary 600 spells real and logical differences on difficulty level very deep character customization the vastness of the city of BG and all the activities real C&C and its impact small but noticeable features like talking to animals and a displacer beast many of the NPCS you can interact with the starting region has 30% more content than what you experienced in early access
