Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Statement by President von der Leyen on Russian accountability and the use of Russian frozen assets Russia must also pay financially for the devastation that it caused, the damage suffered by Ukraine is estimated at 600 billion euros, Russia and its oligarchs have to compensate Ukraine for the damage and cover the costs for rebuilding the country. And we have the means to make Russia pay, we have blocked 300 billion euros of the Russian Central Bank reserves and we have frozen 19 billion euros of Russian oligarchs' money. In the short term, we could create, with our partners, a structure to manage these funds and invest them. We would then use the proceeds for Ukraine. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/statement_22_7307 -

This article from July 2022 gives a good insight into why the Republicans were opposed to it and why this was such an important bill to pass. Republicans’ Cowardly Excuses for Not Protecting Marriage Equality There is absolutely no reason to believe that fundamental rights of same-sex couples are safe. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/07/gop-respect-for-marriage-act-obergefell-supreme-court/670985/

After the European Parliament designated Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism it looks like the US is considering doing the same to the Wagner Group. Quite right to imo, gang of brutal murdering thugs with no accountability for their actions US Is Weighing a Terrorism Label for Russia’s Wagner Group Mercenaries The group’s troops are fighting in Ukraine and in Africa Its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin is a close ally of Putin Labeling Wagner a foreign terrorist organization would allow the US to pursue criminal prosecution against the group and its members, as well as go after its assets around the globe. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/russia-s-wagner-group-mercenaries-may-be-labeled-terrorists-by-the-us -
Elon Musk says Twitter will offer 'amnesty' to suspended accounts
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
What do you disagree with in the Whitehouse statement? "But again, social media companies have a responsibility to prevent their platforms from being used by any user to incite violence especially violence directed at individual communities as we have been seeing and the president has been very clear on calling that out. He’ll continue to do that, and we’re going to continue to monitor the situation," Jean-Pierre concluded. What is your version of free speech? -

"A win for truth seekers" Since when does misinformation on covid magically become the truth? Just because you can you post it now on twitter does not make it true. Truth is the product of fact. If something is not factually correct it is still misinformation and can be proven so. Musk has allowed misinformation not truth. -

Yet what he actually said was: Jimenez reported that the daylight protests “were largely peaceful,” but the situation quickly changed at night. “What you are seeing now, these images, came and come in stark contrast to what we saw over the course of the daytime hours in Kenosha and into the early evening, which were largely peaceful demonstrations in the face of law enforcement,” Jimenez said. -

I'm aware what she did, its all in the article I linked to, he also said if she really wants her account back, she can have it," he said. "For $8," he added, referencing his proposed paid-verification checkmark system for $7.99 a month. I guess he said the same to all the others mentioned in the article that also changed their names in a parody of him. -

Twitter suspended comedian Kathy Griffin's account on Sunday evening after she jokingly pretended to be Elon Musk on the platform and mocked him in several tweets. Griffin now joins a range of several celebrities and figures who had their Twitter handles suspended for parodying Musk. A week earlier, the billionaire had declared that "comedy is now legal on Twitter," after buying the platform. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-suspends-kathy-griffins-account-after-she-parodied-elon-musk-2022-11 -

As we know Musk often self deletes tweets and meme's. He deleted another a few hours ago in reference to apple: Elon Musk shared a tweet, showing that he is willing to 'Go to War' with Apple rather than pay the 30 per cent tax. However, the billionaire seems to have deleted the tweet. Business Today managed to get a screengrab of the tweet. https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/elon-musk-may-go-to-war-with-apple-as-iphone-maker-threatens-to-withhold-twitter-354500-2022-11-29 -

Targeting civilian infrastructure, power grids, water in Ukraine occupied cities and territories leaving millions without heat is using winter as a war weapon and is also a war crime. -

Russian Soldiers Are Freezing To Death In Eastern Ukraine
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
You missed out 100's of 1000's of uniforms and other winter gear already donated from countless other countries, charities and of course the US. Its not just uniforms needed either, sleeping bags, tents, including heated tents, heaters, generators, basics such as gloves. By the way, Canada donated 500,000 units not 50k. Meanwhile Russians have to buy their own equipment or bring it with them including sleeping bags, they are not supplied with the most basic medical kits, they are told to steal them from cars. No bandages or tourniquets, told to bring tampons instead. -

Plan A: Took longer than expected but it certainly has not failed. Have you noted that Russia is running out of missiles, ammunition, equipment for its troops and the economy is in steep decline? Western sanctions catch up with Russia’s wartime economy For months, Putin claimed that the “economic blitzkrieg” against Russia had failed, but Western sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine are digging ever deeper into Russia’s economy, exacerbating equipment shortages for its army and hampering its ability to launch any new ground offensive or build new missiles, economists and Russian business executives said. Even so, a November report by the Central Bank warned that Russia’s GDP would face a sharper contraction of 7.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, after falling 4.1 percent and 4 percent compared with last year in the previous two quarters, last week, as the Russian economy officially entered into recession, Central Bank Chairwoman Elvira Nabiullina told lawmakers that next year the situation could get darker still. “We really need to look at the situation very soberly and with our eyes open. Things may get worse, we understand that,” she said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/11/26/russia-war-economy-military-supply/ Plan B The influx of weapons were for defensive measures only, however Ukraine has already taken back more territory than Russia captured since its invasion. Its working and its long haul. Have you missed all the retreats from previously annexed territories that Russia claimed and occupied? Plan C Refer to Plan A and don't forget the help the Russians received in defeating the Germans including the huge amounts of lend lease military equipment from the US -
