The latter but he didn’t manage to graduate.

Actually, there are many WESTERN economists, analysts and experts who says that Ukraine will lose. But of course, their personal characters (and not their expertise) will be demeaned by the pseudo experts on here.

From your link above: Previous predictions that Russia was about to run out of missiles or other weapons have not always proved correct. Also from bbc: Ukraine war: Russian reservists fighting with shovels - UK defence ministry https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64855760 and War in Ukraine: Is Russia’s stock of weapons running low? 14 October 2022 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-63247287 Note the date. Forgive me if I don’t pay much heed to “links” as some so desperately needs. One other thing you might like to consider. Do you honestly believe that the west will say that Russia is winning even if that’s the truth?

All the research I have done point to your claims being mere fantasies and hopes. Western media have made many claims, most of which have turned out to be false. So excuse me if I don’t believe anything the western msm claims. You give Putin too much credit. There are others (not the orange man) who can stop this but unfortunately for Ukraine, it’s not in the interests of the puppet masters.

The hubris, telling me to stop making things up lol. I don’t make things up. I post my opinions and conclusions. No issue for me if you disagree with them. Life, and truth, does not revolve around links, particularly those from the western msm. I noticed that you still haven’t asked @jvs to provide any evidence. Like I said, hypocrisy.

You are not interested in evidence that doesn’t suit your narrative, so no. Why don’t you ask your buddy above to provide evidence of his fantasy claim?

Some peeps seem permanently confused. Looking at who’s browsing at the moment, I have a fair idea whom lol

It may not be just a question of hesitation. It could also be a problem of availability.

Did I say that this “invasion” was legal? There has been many other invasions by other countries that were also illegal under international law but we are not going down the whataboutism route.

Strange why, when such a claim is made by those that you and your buddies disagree with, there is a HUGE clamour for links to substantiate it but when such a fantabulous claim is made by those in support of the western narrative, there is dead silence. Hypocrisy, as expected and normal for those who are rabidly anti Russia.

America would do that in a jiffy if they thought they could get away with it. Much as this would be nice, Russia has proven itself to be more abiding with international law than some others. Targeting the weapons inside of Britain would probably also invoke Article 5. Not that NATO can really do much about it as the Russian army is very proficient in fighting with shovels but this would lose Russia the moral high ground (in the real world, not the make believe world that some posters reside in). What will be interesting is where the F-16s will take off from. No chance they will be based in Ukraine as the airfields will just be destroyed.

Seems like the Us is becoming a one trick pony with its endless sanctions on everyone. I wonder about the efficacy of such moves. If a company can make more money selling to Russia than to the Us, today, tomorrow and into the foreseeable future, the sanctions are totally useless. It also creates more negative sentiment around the world and could lead to retaliatory measures from the countries affected. In a fight between USA vs ROW, my money is on the latter.

You might well be right but I was reading that Shell recently closed some hydrogen filling stations in California I believe? And that some Toyota Mirai owners are suing Toyota for selling them a car that can’t work (as there is nowhere for them to fill it up). By the way, what are Groans? And why are EV owners fanatics? I own an EV mainly because it only costs me about Thb200 to drive 400+ kms (less if I’m able to charge using my solar setup) as compared to over Thb 600 for my Mazda 2. On top of that, I save money on consumables like engine oil, oil filters, servicing etc. Looking forward to hearing your further views about EVs.

You should spend less time on internet forums and more time reading up on current affairs 😊

Is that so? I always thought you were one of the more confused posters…

So, not exactly “China panicking about EV disaster” which was the title of the video and an attempt to further discredit Chinese EVs, is it? Just a faulty part on a batch of cars, not uncommon. If photoguy wants to be taken seriously, he needs to try harder.

Lol. You are a laugh a minute. In any case, the conflict will soon be over, the victor will most likely be Russia in spite of the western claims that 90% of their army has been decimated and they are reduced to fighting with shovels. The sanctions have helped its economy grow faster than any other European country and whoever sabotaged the pipeline has caused energy costs in Europe to soar, negatively impacting their competitiveness in the world arena. Confiscation of Russian assets is leading to quicker de-dollarisation and loss of confidence in the western financial systems. Treasury bonds are being dumped like hot potatoes, more and more trade deals are being done outside of the dollar. Worrying signs for US hegemony. Debt levels rising, tax payers will be hurting, particularly future generations. Biggest beneficiaries of this conflict are China and Russia. Oh, the irony lol.

@josephbloggs put it better than I ever could. And if I’m not mistaken, he isn’t an EV owner, yet. By the way, what’s with all the emojis? Practically every one of your posts contains at least one.

I’m just trying to be helpful and giving good advice. Wouldn’t want him to be stranded on the motorway because he filled his car with diesel instead of electrons. You might also do well to heed some of the advice posted by others. P/s: I own an ICEV as well…

I didn’t realise we were having an argument. I’m not interested in arguing with you, especially as you don’t have the capacity to accept that you might be wrong. I’m just posting my opinions, as I have the right to do, for those who are interested and open enough to consider an alternative viewpoint. Please feel free to stop reading and responding to my posts. You don’t have the authority to tell me to stop posting, same as I don’t have the authority to command you to read my posts.

If you are going to base your purchasing decision on the basis of misleading information and outright lies, then I suggest an EV might be too technologically advanced for you. The relatively simple step of depressing the brake pedal before pushing the start button might be too complicated.

Don’t you ever take a break from AN? Also, why the desperate need to try and prove me wrong incessantly? Must have been some playground trauma in your childhood.

It’s interesting how AN is a microcosm of the collective west. The majority of posters are anti-Russia and their posts are mostly bereft of facts. The narrative is spearheaded by some ‘profuse’ American posters (just look at the post count to see who posts almost twice as much as anyone else). Any dissenting voices (like Oban and Fico) are quickly shut down, their views drowned out by a cacophony of insults and ridicule. Typical US style bullying. Europe is being irreparably destroyed by the poor leadership of NATO and they are too afraid and incompetent to do anything about it.The fact that they dare not get to the bottom of the NS sabotage shows to the world the real perpetrator of this attack. A real Stockholm syndrome if ever there’s one. The amount of confused emojis this post will receive is further proof of the above. Nothing is factually wrong. I have included my own opinions which western values supposedly will fight to defend my right to have. And yet, my post will likely come in for criticism with the usual “gibberish, nonsense, rubbish” etc adjectives.

It takes an incredible amount of ignorance and denial to blame Russia 100% for this current conflict.

Do your own research or not, it doesn’t matter to me. By misspelling Russia, you have already shown your prejudice so no amount of explanation or proof will change your western view.
