I've never been to the Sun but I know it's hot. 

So you do study a bit then... that's a start Bob!  Keep going is my encouragement

Now that you know the Sun is hot, what about that other round thing in the sky? I think it's called the Moon (but it's not made of cheese).  🌛

I'm astounded by your posts. 

Thank you. I think I have a grasp of it after a lifetime of traveling, much of it in Russia and Ukraine. Have you been?  how did you find it?

He is blaming Ukraine for Russia illegally invading them, how low can you go.

 
You do not understand the history or causes. It's a sad reflection of the world today - but it is what it is. Let's see what happens.

Americans are the most highly propagandized population in the world. The difference between an American and a Russian or Chinese person is the Russian or Chinese know they are being propagandized. 

Correct - the news channels in all countries have lost any sense of ethics, and all sides try to brainwash their base. I agree the USA is way in front in that regard.

Very well said. I too have visited Russia several times on business. An ex gf was a lovely young masters graduate in political science from St. Petersburg University.

 

It’s a country that’s rich in history and culture. The people are extremely welcoming if you treat them with respect and they gladly welcome you into their homes or to join them at their tables in restaurants. What struck me also is how safe the streets of Moscow and St. P are, even at night. I definitely felt safer there than in London, Paris or Rome. No need to even talk about the streets of NY or Chicago. Well documented as to how unsafe those are.

Same here, ex. GF was in Pete - the most beautiful city on earth, IMHO. I worked on an exchange programme at a Moscow hospital (hospital management professional) and went often. People who have never been do not understand or have a clue about Russians or Russian history. Russians want peace and stability like everyone else, but the USA, particularly, loves to poke the bear and try to convert the whole world to the "USA way". It's not going to happen.

Just admit he and his merry band of appeasers are being less than truthful.

 Truth is the first casualty of war, and both sides lie and spin - of course!  but this could have been avoided if Ukraine had implemented the 2014 agreement agreed with Germany and France as guarantors. Donbas with a degree of 'special status' and neutrality in the face of NATO's eastward push. But they chose to be a pawn of USA hegemony - a very foolish choice that costs Ukraine 100,000s of deaths... for nothing.

This USA-interfering strategy didn't work out too well in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and all the other places, did it?  The same will apply to Ukraine - better peace now than lose it all. The suffering is appalling.

Putin could end the war tomorrow, with a single command.

 So could Zelensky; it is called "NEUTRALITY".

Half of the Russian population (males) won't get any pension as they don't live long enough, and the other half (females) who will, will only get a meager 200 EUR per month. That's a great achievement for 24 years in power! Thank you Puting

 

 

It's 220EUR but a false equivalency

I’ve not watched CNN for over ten years.

 

So remind me, are CNN on the jury?

Well, that's good news, at least. No, only 12 Democrats are on the jury to decide a case where the statute of limitations has been stepped all over by a man who CAMPAIGNED on getting Trump - sounds fair, does it?

I'm sure you know judges don't indict criminals. 

 No political prosecutors do - NY is Dem, and it's plain to see the politicisation happening.

I don't get how you guys think.  Trump has been indicted for multiple crimes because he committed multiple crimes.  If you think Trump has been treated unfairly, then you are part of the cult.  Just own up to it.

 I also don't get how you think. The problem with the USA system is that the judiciary is politicised - from dog catchers to the Supreme Court. HOW can appointing judges ever be fair?

I remember a couple of years ago, I walked into a Russian owned bar in Walking street with a half empty water bottle. The Thai security guard rushed after me and without saying anything started to twist my arm until I let the bottle go. Some of those people working for the bars are just mental.

 Sorry, you experienced that, totally over the top but it is common sense not to walk into any bar with a drink from somewhere else. Lesson learned?  stay safe

Let's get this straight - a porn star and a convicted liar are the principal witnesses? You could not make this up - now Cohen admits to stealing $30k? This is a farce. 

Haley is a warmonger - I hope she never gets anywhere near power.
