Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
candide replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
And the reason is well-known! Quotes From the article: "The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 is currently at the same level as those in Haiti." "Meanwhile in 2021, there were approximately 1.04 million more deaths than births recorded in Russia, according to Statistica." https://healthpolicy-watch.news/russia-population-drop/ -
NY grand jury votes to indict Donald Trump, sources tell CNN

More fun! This is going to be good! ???? Trump Rages at Hush-Money Indictment in Misspelled Truth Social Rant https://news.yahoo.com/trump-rages-hush-money-indictment-225830404.html -
Apart from the fact that this so-called promise has never been officially made, you forgot two important dates: - June 12th, 1991, the Russian Federation declares its independence from the Soviet Union - December 31st, 1991, dissolution of the Soviet Union. So a promise not really made, to an entity which has been dissolved since (and that Russia left before, De facto triggering its dissolution).

Actually, it was billions. So about 1000 times what Hunter received. That's a reasonable amount for corruption at the WH level. The MAGA folks don't even realise that a few millions are absolutely peanuts and not worth becoming corrupt for it -
Thaksin Snubs Possibility Of Pheu Thai-Palang Pracharath Alliance
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The case was buried although it seemed to be the ideal occasion to nail Thaksin. For example, don't you know who asked him to do it? -

Unfortunately, the old elite network and its components (the judiciary, the army, the Dems) never really investigated it (apart from a few minor cases), and closed the case. There must be a reason! And it was surely not in order to protect Thaksin. -

The red shirts have been created in reaction to the yellow shirts. That's fact. No yellow shirts, no red shirts. -

It's pathetic that we already discussed it extensively long time ago, and some people still come up with the same election fraud B.S. It's hopeless..... -

Six in 10 Americans don't want Trump to be president again: 2024 poll

Are you sure the scrapped missile defense program would have been better than the one implemented by Obama? https://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/11/politics/nato-missile-defense-romania-poland/index.html -

1. It doesn't matter. That's what he said at the time of the annexion. After he became President, he also initially did not rule out recognising the annexion. 2. It was a big mistake, as I wrote before. -

Obama has been too cautious about Russia and did not perceive the extent of the threat. It was a big mistake. At least, unlike Trump, he did not approve the invasion of Crimea. "Within weeks, Trump praised Putin for how he handled the takeover of Crimea and predicted that “the rest of Ukraine will fall … fairly quickly.” Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Trump said in a TV interview that the Crimean people “would rather be with Russia,” a position he also pushed in private. One of his 2016 campaign aides falsely claimed that “Russia did not seize Crimea.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/26/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.html -
I did not inject anything, It's the reality, starting with this thread: MTG sent these tweets because she is (rather extreme) right-wing. So when someone (in this case a right-wing nutter) is ostracizing a particular group with a lame accusation, people who desagree should just shut up? Is that what you think? When one side is pushing for anti-gun laws and the other side does the opposite (in particular in Tennessee where Republicans passed a law in 2021 allowing people to carry a handgun, openly or concealed without a permit), It's not about politics? It would be better to have a bipartisan consensus for a tight gun control (and ban of some weapons). However, it's always the same side which opposes it.

I agree with your conclusion and fully support gun control. What I disagree about is that you seem to suggest that both sides are equally at fault. It's not the left-wing which pointed at the alleged trans factor and sent incendiary tweets. Had the right-wing not done it in the first place, nobody would have talked about it. Starting with this thread: there would be no thread. Moreover, directing the ire of public opinion towards any particular group (trans or others: jews, blacks, muslims, etc...) is usually not without consequences and may incite violence.

Of course, MTG will never point at the main source of terrorism (and in particular killings) because It's her friends! "Most violent far-right perpetrators were motivated by white supremacist or anti-government sentiments, and they committed most of the fatal attacks in 2021. Of the 30 fatalities in 2021, 28 resulted from far-right terrorist attacks." https://www.csis.org/analysis/pushed-extremes-domestic-terrorism-amid-polarization-and-protest -

You are missing the point, one side of the political continuum is incensed at a politician directing (once more) public opinion against LGBT people by spreading lies (there is no trans terrorism, the fact that the murderer was not even trans is a minor point). You know, the same side of the political continuum which is advocating for banning guns whenever a mass murder happens, and is trying to pass anti-gun laws. When it fails to pass such laws, it is due to the other side opposing it, under the influence of the NRA swamp.

New information about it: Here's what Fox News was trying to hide in its Dominion lawsuit redactions "Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News' so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump. The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway." (There are other interesting facts in the article) https://news.yahoo.com/fox-news-trying-hide-dominion-221900303.html

What to make of Kim Jong Un and North Korea's barrage of weapon tests
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Actually, it fits the programming of different types of missiles. In 2017, NK had completed its current (at that time) ICBM missile program tests. Kim is smarter than what you think. When missile tests started again in 2019, it was the outcome of a different program of short-range missiles, followed later by other tests (new medium and long range missiles) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_Korean_missile_tests
