Yeah, you are correct, the clear terrorists here are Russians 🤷‍♂️

 

I want the US government to take the lead in designating the Donetsk and Luhansk "people's militias" and "governments" as terrorist groups. That would be a good start. But eventually we are going to have to address this issue of what is Russia's very clear and obvious new strategy in recent days of trying to terrorize the Ukrainian civilian population into surrender.

I'm here. I usually read the forum at least once a day. But yeah, despite it being my summer break (or pehaps because of it) I've been swamped with things I have to take care of.

Rumors have it that Gazprom is getting ready for long-term shut-down of Nord Stream 1.
Maintenance is (was?) to be completed this week. 
They certainly know how to keep markets in suspense.  

Gazprom Russia already announced Force Majeure towards NS1 amd Germany. Seems 22 non-restart becomes reality. 

At the same time Rhine river is at lowest in 15 years, limiting transer of goods via waterway. 

Looks like Germany is in for some serious pain.

Dark can you believe the lengths the Ruskies are taking to try to end sanctions, now they blocking the Rhine river. Truly shameful...what next?

Little bit of reading, how the situation seems for a guy, who works with gas more than 50 years, and how the UE should solve the outage.

TLDR: It is not as bad, as some people are talking about, but could be worse, if EU does nothing.

Well, hopefully those trackers are secure, lest they get blown up.  Have seen concerns about the smuggling before, it is a sensible thing to consider.  Flood any country with weaponry and there's going to be some.  Hopefully no Starstreak taking down a A380 somewhere in the future.

well, i would not want to be that guy who pushed that button xD

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

A Lada, without airbags, ABS or radio XD

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

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 " :grin:

Good news for people afraid of The Winter :)

Draghi signed new energy deal with Algeria already, and von der Leyen has visited Baku to propose new energy deals with Azerbaijan. Few more small steps, and Russia will lose a big chunk of the market, and will have no more opportunities to even try to blackmail EU...

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 👾

Think it's only additional sanctions.  Or maybe threaten to let Israel bomb their nuclear facilities or something.
