I love this Trumper's statement highlighted in the Fox News article: "I just think it is really disappointing that the FBI had rejected these stories—whether it is Alfa Bank and the secret server with the Trump Organization, or the dossier that the FBI reviewed and rejected as legitimate...." So basically, they are disappointed that the FBI did its job properly by rejecting questionable information, so that they are now unable to criticize the FBI about it! Priceless! ????

Yet the article also confirms that the Alfa server allegations have not been taken into account. Of course, Faux news argues that, because it has not been mentioned and used in the investigation, It's because they wanted to hide the fact that it was at the origins of the investigation, Typicall Fox News tactics. Anyway, there's a long and expensive investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, so if there is something to be found, I guess it will find it

You failed to notice that the FBI did not found the Alpha server data to be reliable and decided not to use it. You would also have noticed that the investigation into Russian interference started before Sussman went to meet the FBI. So Sussman was not at the origins of the Russia probe and was not included in it. You also failed to notice that Mook declared under oath that no one directed or authorised Sussman to present his evidence to the FBI. The Durham probe has been a waste of taxpayer money!

So basically, Durham's investigation found peanuts. Three years of investigation and more than $3.8 million of taxpayer money wasted just to satisfy Trump's capricio! What a shame! https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/22/durham-probe-cost-38-million-525985 There should be an investigation into the origins of the Durham probe! ????

Ukraine war: Russia says 'liberation' of Donbas its key priority
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
1) which memorandum? I did not find track of it. Anyway, you ignore the fact that this promise was made to an entity which doesn't exist any more. So basically Russia is complaining about a promise made to a defunct entity it left. -
Ukraine war: Russia says 'liberation' of Donbas its key priority
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
1) This was an oral promise made to an Union which was dissolved in December 1991, not to Russia. Additionally, the Russian federation left the Soviet Union and declared its independence in June 1991 (which ultimately led to the dissolution of the Union) 2) No. Most of the Eastern Europe countries which joined NATO were not part of the Soviet Union (except for three small Baltic countries). They had been conquered by the red army and imposed a communist regime controlled by the Soviet Union. -
Interesting remark. However, as there is demand all year long, i would assume that the whole crop is not exported at once and a significant share of it is stored to be sold later. On top of it, markets usually anticipate on the next crop volume (in June/July, not fall), so prices go up before harvest time.

In summary, Trump called for more guns and less money for Ukraine. He confirmed again that he is both Putin's b**** and NRA's b****.

China, Russia veto U.S. push for more U.N. sanctions on North Korea
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
Complete B.S. there were not 500,000 US troops in Europe. On top of it, most of the troops located in Europe were not near a border with Russia. -
Nice try! The FBI was already investigating the Russian interference when they got this information. Additionally, the Alfa server information was dismissed by the FBI at an early stage and was not included in the investigation (I.e. Mueller report). BTW, the same witness also declared that "He also testified that neither he nor anyone else at the campaign directed Sussmann to take the information to the FBI and that the main focus was tipping off the media." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-20/clinton-approved-trump-russia-leak-her-campaign-manager-says On top of it, you are completely incoherent as Trump was not impeached because of the Russian interference, but for abuse of Presidential power and trying to collude with a foreign leader (Zelinski, in case you did not remember).

Severodonetsk: Battle for key road as fighting reaches Ukraine city
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
Following this line of thought, it can also be said that if Russia would not have intervened in 2014, there would have been a clear winner. Ukraine would have quickly regained Donbas, and peace would have reigned since then. Additionally, Ukraine may probably have been starting a process of joining the EU, which would have resulted in progressively adopting EU compliant laws, in particular as regards protection of minorities. -
Severodonetsk: Battle for key road as fighting reaches Ukraine city
candide replied to webfact's topic in World News
Well, It's a question of perspective. Actually, these regions have been brutally colonised by Russians. A few quotes from the Wikipedia article: - According to the Russian Imperial Census of 1897, Ukrainians ("Little Russians", in the official imperial language) accounted for 52.4% of the population of the region, whilst ethnic Russians constituted 28.7%..... - Along with other territories inhabited by Ukrainians, the Donbas was incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War - Ukrainians in the Donbas were greatly affected by the 1932–33 Holodomor famine and the Russification policy of Joseph Stalin. As most ethnic Ukrainians were rural peasant farmers, they bore the brunt of the famine.... - During the reconstruction of the Donbas after the end of the Second World War, large numbers of Russian workers arrived to repopulate the region, further altering the population balance. In 1926, 639,000 ethnic Russians resided in the Donbas.[33] By 1959, the ethnic Russian population was 2.55 million. Russification was further advanced by the 1958–59 Soviet educational reforms, which led to the near elimination of all Ukrainian-language schooling in the Donbas.[34][35] By the time of the Soviet Census of 1989, 45% of the population of the Donbas reported their ethnicity as Russian. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donbas Having said that, you are probably right that the successive Ukrainian governments mismanaged the Donbas issues. -

Unlike Trump, Biden is not going to be fooled by Kim and to be involved in a NK PR operation. -

Really? ???????????????? "A viral video of world leaders huddled together and apparently joking about US President Donald Trump has not gone down well with the American leader, who called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ‘two-faced’ and cancelled a scheduled press conference, which would result in him leaving the summit early as a result." https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2019/12/04/trump-to-leave-nato-summit-early-after-video-shows-leaders-laughing-at-him.html
