Not only the headline, but every single word shows just how brilliantly the media have distorted reality — and how wonderfully lost their readers are, stumbling around in the dark! Meanwhile, the Russian army is practically turning people away , so many volunteers want to fight. Ukraine, on the other hand, is signing decrees to drag 18-year-olds to the front lines, and if they refuse? Well, no problem, they’re arrested and gently forced to go. Crimea? Already Russian. The Donbas oblasts, Donetsk and Luhansk are three-quarters Russian now. So much so that even President Trump, who had other ideas before entering the White House, now gets it: Ukraine has lost the war it started in 2014 and will eventually have to accept whatever terms the Kremlin decides to hand down. Every time Zelensky throws a tantrum — just like when he rejected the Minsk and Istanbul agreements — Ukraine loses more territory. That’s the reality. The only one.

...smuggling hashish in Thailand? What planet is this dude living on?

..off to Ukraine?

How on earth can anyone consider a brutal sport like Muay Thai a soft power tool? What's next, diplomacy through cage fighting?

...and the underlying issues affecting the sector are?

Only those who read nothing but the Washington Post, the New York Times… who watch CNN, the BBC — in short, those who blindly believe whatever the media vomit out — fail to see the truth in the Colonel Douglas’ words, and therefore the tragic catastrophe that is about to destroy Ukraine. Russia has defeated NATO — just as all independent experts had predicted. That’s where we are now. Zelensky must go. Elections must be held. Ukraine and Russia need to find common ground… unfortunately for Ukraine and the West, that will mean accepting most of the conditions imposed by the Kremlin.

No! What’s the point of risking my life to rise so high, just to look down on the ground I walk every day?

...did I hear SIGNIFICANT public statement?

In that case, I suggest that these landowners be paid like immigration officers and civil servants

With already more than 2,000 sanctions against Russia, what effect will this new sanction have? The answer is: NOTHING! After all, a defeated party cannot set conditions for the victor! And in this war, Russia is certainly not the defeated. Take it or leave it!😆

If you had taken the trouble to read recent history, at least since the time of Reagan & James Baker on the American side and Gorbachev on the Russian (Soviet) side- about the conditions that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989- you wouldn’t have asked me this question. But it's not too late, all of this is still available to read online

So you asked to be born, and be in Norway? I wish I could talk to your parents and ask them how you made your request

I thought the Muslim religion forbade the use of alcohol and narcotic substances. But I must be mistaken

Yes, they must protest! In a highly polarized society where on one side there are the rich and on the other, extremely poor people - some forced to sell themselves to survive...- the legalisation of casinos will only increase these inequalities

Why don't you tell us how long you want this war to go on, and how many dead, wounded, widows, widowers, and orphans it will take before you are satisfied, and peace returns?
