Why that. How does it makes the numbers you cited more comparable? 🙂 My point is that these numbers are not comparable because the composition of the two populations is different. It doesn't matter under which President they have been convicted. It wouldn't make the two numbers you cited more comparable.

Irrelevant comparison. Most of the acts of clemency by Obama were commutations, and most individuals concerned had been arrested on drug charges during the war on drug. Do some basic research before commenting. 😆

A RW meme on social media! 😀

Russia doesn't make a proxy war.

There is a proxy war aspect but it's not essentially a proxy war.

God%&#!^%&! 😀

More intrusion from your alternate universe.... 😀

Which imaginary transgression? 😀

Since when is the IMF a Russian source? 😀 About the current GDP growth it is fuelled by military expenses only.

The average salary in SP is 10 290,15 Euro /year compared to 21 219,47 Euro in Poland. https://www.salaryexpert.com/salary/area/russian-federation/saint-petersburg

With a local salary?

Where do you think it 's better to live? In the EU or in Russia? 😆

I disagree with this pardon. However, that's rich from Trump to criticize Biden, as he did the same with Jared's father!😆

That's right. The U.S. is still making business with Saudi oil. As it has a spare capacity for refining heavy oil, it imports heavy oil and refines it, allowing the U.S. to export more refined oil. However, it doesn't need it for its own consumption.

Yawn....

Why that? I am absolutely not angry. Rather amused at your lame trolling technique! 😆

You are making stuff up again!, 😆

Stop ridiculously making up something I did not write! No anger. I am just having fun at MAGA fans criticising Biden (which I also did), while they saw no problem when Trump pardoned a family member. 😆 My position has always been consistent. I was against Trump pardoning a family member, and I am also against Biden pardoning a familly member!

No. But but Trumpers, 😆

I disagree with this decision. However that's rich from Trumpers to criticize a President for granting a pardon to a family member! 😆

I agree with you. I understand the reasons why Biden did it, but I think it's wrong.

Actually, it seems the old plain models made rather accurate predictions. Was it just luck? https://www.science.org/content/article/even-50-year-old-climate-models-correctly-predicted-global-warming

Right, the issue is different for organisations which need to protect information. An 'isolated' solution is better.

Because BRICS is neither a trade zone nor an alliance! 😀 It's a forum, a club, similar to G7.
