Or may simply want a hassle-free way to donate.

 

I would add that, not only does it take considerable time to access a deceased person's assets, but in the case of repatriating a body, time is of the essence. Especially if it is desired to have an autopsy done in the home country, as is often the reason fir such repatriation.

 But why not do an autopsy here, cremate, and send it home?  I see no reason to ask people for money to send a cadaver to another country - still, it is their freedom of choice to donate or not, but it seems a waste of money. 

I don't understand why "repatriate his body" Just burn it here and send the Ashers home?  any insurance? 

She needs to understand what is meant by "full democracy", which includes FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

You think I remember how things were before Putin? That was 24+ years ago, I was a kid

 I have no idea but I was in Russia when Yeltsin was there and I have been many times - to Ukraine as well. There is no difference between Ukrainians and Russians despite what some might tell you. A negotiated peace will have to come about one day - sooner or later.

Try posting facts, belief is not good enough. There is evidence of cocaine use when Trump occupied the White House.

 

Trump is as mad as a cut snake, and he is getting worse every day. I doubt he'll make it to the debate, let alone November.

 Oh, no evidence of cocaine found in Bidens Whitehouse, right?

I was not suggesting illicit drugs - but I think it's likely he had a booster of some type. Biden does not know his own name and thinks cannibals were after his uncle.

You have not checked the latest instructions. Biden will not be destroyed because Trump will not come.

I guess that's possible if they choose only certain MSM to host it, and Dem controllers. What happened to neutral debates?

It's difficult to know what happened, but Iranian TV is saying "weather." Why did two other choppers make it?

You don't have a clue. Euroclear froze the assets of Russian financial institutions, all according to official sanctions. They don't even work with private customers, only institutions. 

 

 

 

 

 "official sanctions" made up as they went along? The trust that was banking is GONE and will never return - it is STEALING, and you know it.

It was inevitable 2 years back...........

The Ruskies even packed their dress uniforms........😂

 Well, we will see, right?  Many 'experts' were claiming Russia ran out of ammo years back and would fight with "shovels". Pretty useful shovels those  lol

No need for a general mobilisation in Russia so far - I think they have committed 360,000 troops out of 1,300,000 so far.  (3,570,000 total including reserves).

Russia media claims Ukraine is Russian property. Do you disagree?

We should not attempt to turn the clock back to the Soviet era, and although there is very little difference between Ukrainians and Russians, I think a NEUTRAL Ukraine should be supported. Zelensky was elected on a peace platform, then threw it away with the USA.

Didn't claim you were Russian but you are the least neutral observer I have read on here apart from those that are not shy about hiding their Russian nationality and ties. Like I said, your post was pure Russian talking points

 Well, I could charge you for MSNBC/CNN talking points only. This does not help anything—I am British but have extensively travelled to Russia and Ukraine. I have family in Kiev, but I was born in London.

long story short, less than 2% of voters support the far-right in Ukraine.

in all countries there are always a small group of extremists.

Ukraine doesn't have a far-right problem.

But in Russia it seems the extremists have taken over the government.

 That is not true; now, the opposition is in jail, and elections are banned. Please be FACTUAL. I know it's difficult, but could you please try?  All you do is repeat MSNBC/CNN - you have probably never been to Ukraine or Russia, and you definitely do not understand the issues and history. What we need is a negotiated settlement - a neutral Ukraine and a withdrawal by Russia.

It was quite peaceful already BEFORE Putin invaded!

 Really?  have you been to Ukraine and Russia? I have, many times

Nah, I'm not Russian - I'm a neutral observer - I loathe war wherever it is happening. But I have often been to Ukraine and Russia - have you, Brian?

Jaded means faded not bitter - bored with things etc.

Seems that "our side" or at least the so called leaders are getting into the habit of getting involved in far away wars that are nothing to do with them. Did the EU and UK have a mandate from the population to get involved in the Ukraine and the other one- no they did not, yet they took it on themselves to send lots of money that should have been spent on their own countries to buy weapons to send to a country that they have no treaties with and no obligation to help.

 That's very true, and look at Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Cuba and now Ukraine, Gaza, etc. The USA cannot help meddling worldwide - followed by their puppies in Europe.

The world is in a dire place, and WW3 is not far away if Idiots like Lindsay Graham, Macron and Blinken have their evil way.

There was a limit to how many lives could be lost in the Donbass to nazi shelling. Putin had to act and he did so decisively but with total obedience to the rules of war. Ukraine will have an embarrassing time next month at the peace conference asking folk to sign on to Zelensky's peace plan in which Russia totally capitulates and surrenders to Ukraine. One to look forward to.....watch the cancellations come flying in. 

 It is true, but the majority here believe MSNBC, CNN and the three B's

Biden/Blinken/Boris

please stop parroting Ruzzian disinformation.

 

here is Ukraine II in the making : over 200.000 Georgians demonstrating against Russia-Law in Tbilissi (Georgia has a population of 3.7 million).

 

 

 

 Who cares about Georgians? Keep it on topic. Look at the flags behind this propagandist. When all is said and done a negotiated peace will prevail sooner or later - better SOONER.
