No need, plenty on Russian state TV echoing the same thing on how badly they are doing

You missed his Peter the Great Speech Putin compares himself to Peter the Great in quest to take back Russian lands Putin’s remarks proved that his complaints about historical injustice, eastward Nato expansion, and other grievances with the west were all a facade for a traditional war of conquest.

Yes there's a very plausible solution being carried out right now by Ukraine and its supporters, Russia is losing territory and will be kicked out.

Yep Putin' nose is certainly out of joint, he's facing a revolt from his own officials and propaganists. All in Ukraine are united.

You could go to the Pipeline thread and stay on topic where this has been discussed many times including by you

If Putin stops the illegal invasion the war stops immediately and no further innocent civilians will be killed, murdered and raped.

How do they influence? well you could read the link I posted, since you didn't bother I wont bother responding with any more

I thought Putin was the salesperson for NATO, it was down to him that Finland and Sweden applied

Absolutely when you have up to 2 million internet warriors from China influencing elections, creating campaigns with consistently advanced narratives on how evil the US and the west is as opposed to China, hacking US and western government entities then what do you expect. Got your 50 cent yet...lol

Can you link to the specific clause in NATO that bars countries on these grounds? There is an action plan that states: "Willingness to settle international, ethnic or external territorial disputes by peaceful means, commitment to the rule of law and human rights, and democratic control of armed forces" Other than that then other NATO countries can stipulate their own objections. Norway and Sweden are both in the process but Norway especially was very close to Russian threats and could well have been involved, hence why in the interim its had some security guarantees from other countries such as the UK. So if it got involved are you suggesting it could not then join NATO?

China is also a dab hand with its covert action against other nations with its "50 cents army" a group of 500,000 - 2 million state-backed internet commenters. Even used widely on their own territory to curb dissent and influence opinion especially during the covid outbreak. SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 China influence operation targeted US midterm elections Fake social media accounts originating in the world’s second-largest economy peddled partisan attacks to American voters, according to a report from Meta.

Its not just Thailand, some mask mandates are still in place in the US in some states, for example, District of Columbia mandatory in libraries, health care facilities, long-term care facilities, shelters, prisons and District government buildings in which employees interact with the public.

Kherson is slowly getting surrounded, Lyman taken so what does the Kremlin do............lol Putin's spox admits the Kremlin doesn't actually know how much of Kherson and Zaporizhzia regions it is annexing as Ukraine's forces continue to win back new "Russian" territory. Dmitry Peskov says Russia will "continue to consult with the population." https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/1576868108244959232 Ukraine has made 'breakthroughs' in Kherson region, Russian-installed official says Reuters) - Ukrainian forces have made some breakthroughs in the southern Kherson region and taken control of some settlements, a Russian-installed official said on Monday. Ukrainian officials have been tight-lipped about the scale of their counter-offensive in the south, but Russian military bloggers have described Ukrainian tanks advancing along the bank of the Dnipro river. Russia formally moved to annex four Ukrainian territories last week, including Kherson region, but none are fully under the control of Moscow's forces and Ukraine continues to wage a counter-offensive in the south and east. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-made-breakthroughs-kherson-region-095544727.html

The venue would be NK with Kim Jong un as go between?

Careful you'll be needing to visit one of those gastrologists

You've changed your tune

Happy you agree then that the US does this on a grand scale, as well as provide infrastructure, tools and equipment necessary to help longterm Over the course of seven decades, the U.S. government and its people have led the global fight against hunger. https://www.wfpusa.org/mission-history/

"Aid in the form of food and medical supplies solves a short term problem." Also known as saving lives.

Tonight on Russian state TV: the mood is grim, look at their faces. Dmitry Sablin, Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee, admits that Russia desperately needs "to stop and regroup" and is experiencing all sorts of shortages, compared to Ukraine that has it all —and then some.

Well worth a read, Putin is being undermined by his own officials, Kremlin sponsored media & Russian milbloggers. Latest update from ISW Main points in the 14 post twitter thread: https://twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1576785121948360706 Full assessment here: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-2 The Russian information space has significantly deviated from the narratives preferred by the #Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) that things are generally under control. Putin relies on controlling the information space in #Russia to safeguard his regime much more than on the kind of massive oppression apparatus the Soviet Union used, making disorder in the information space potentially even more dangerous to Putin than it was to the Soviets. Russian State Duma MPs withdrew a law that would have given mobilized men a one-time payment of 300,000 rubles (about $4,980) and other benefits, without providing a reason for their decision

The pipelines explosions occurred on the 26th Sept, Biden's speech was just 2 days ago, you can't even get that basic fact right let alone who's responsible.

Biden released 22 years of tax returns to IRS while he was a nominee and again once he became President.

Check the poster that asked me a question on Trump and NATO.

I'm not telling you to get four shots, you do what you want, why would I care, I just care about facts and information

People should not rely only on diet either. Vaccines play a key role in reducing large scale outbreaks and deaths. Why else do all children receive vaccinations for viral infections such as smallpox, mumps, polio. The covid vaccines saved millions of lives not just those with underlying diseases.
