  1. Nothing like that on either of their websites. Which makes sense because Russia is concentrating its efforts elsewhere and the Ukrainians are taking advantage of that to put pressure on Kherson. Maybe you're getting news about an alternative universe?
  2. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with this? How China Got Sri Lanka to Cough Up a Port Every time Sri Lanka’s president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, turned to his Chinese allies for loans and assistance with an ambitious port project, the answer was yes. Yes, though feasibility studies said the port wouldn’t work. Yes, though other frequent lenders like India had refused... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/world/asia/china-sri-lanka-port.html China has no qualms - in fact prefers - doing deals with corrupt governments that allow it to gain a physical foothold in those nations. In Sri Lanka, the people China did its dirty deal with have now been deposed due their having driving Sri Lanka into bankruptcy. With the help of unscrupulous partners like the Chinese govt.
  3. Really? Share with us some examples of treaties broken by the UK in the 20th and 21st centuries. How about the EU? This is nonsense. Only roque nations make a practice of that. The article goes into some detail about very concerned the UK govt is about breaking international law by violating the terms of the treaty.
  4. Really? Because everything I've read says nothing like that. Russia is still concentrating its forces in the east. And as for the south. all the reports I've seen is that Russian positions are actually being pushed back. Ukraine Regains Key Foothold on River Bank: British Intel https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-war-russia-river-regain-foothold-1713805 Ukraine regains some territory in counter-offensive in Kherson area - Defence Ministry https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-regains-some-territory-counter-offensive-kherson-area-defence-ministry-2022-06-09/
  5. But that's very significantly different from what you previously claimed: " Everyone who was in the Country from the E,U could have applied for a settlement visa , you just had to register online and there were no other requirements to stop people applying" Clearly there were other requirements.
  6. As I understand it, they had to have had 5 years of continuous residence in the UK to qualify for settled status. https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/what-settled-and-presettled-status-means
  7. The Jan 6 insurrection was an attack on the heart of a democratic republic. Namely the peaceful transfer of power.
  8. Here's actually what he said. Keep in mind that this took place in 2019 Emmanuel Macron warns Europe: NATO is becoming brain-dead America is turning its back on the European project. Time to wake up, the French president tells The Economist https://www.economist.com/europe/2019/11/07/emmanuel-macron-warns-europe-nato-is-becoming-brain-dead Why would he ever say that American was turning its back on Europe? Who was America's President then? hmmm....
  9. What don't you understand about the fact that this aid is authorized in a bill passed by the House and Senate of the United States and signed into law by President Biden? Factbox: The big items in Washington's $40 billion Ukraine aid package "The package includes almost $15 billion for defense operations and maintenance, which includes $6 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and $8.7 billion to replenish stocks of U.S. equipment sent to Ukraine. The legislation includes hundreds of millions of dollars for the procurement of missiles, weapons and tracked combat vehicles, ammunition and aircraft, among others. It also provides $4 billion in Foreign Military Financing to provide support for Ukraine and other countries affected by the crisis, and $100 million for non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, demining and related programs.: https://www.reuters.com/world/big-items-washingtons-40-billion-ukraine-aid-package-2022-05-19/ If you read further, Biden is authorized to send another 11 billion dollars worth of drawdown authority to provide articles and services.
  10. No. Not free. The U.S. government paid for it. But if you have evidence to prove that reports on the bill authorizing aid to Ukraine are false, that the US didn't pay for the weapons and that Ukraine did, please share that information with the rest of us. But if you don't have it, that means you are purposely disseminating falsehoods. And let's face it, you don't have it. But please go ahead and prove me wrong.
  11. Nice try at deflection. You don't even acknowledge that your allegation about the dates was false. And I threw in another from April, which by itself, would be enough to qualify. You've got nothing.
  12. Clearly you need a reminder of what you wrote 45 minutes ago. "Biden is on the moon, got to sell a bunch of expensive toys to Ukraine with a massive loan. " What sale? What loan? Stop purveying blatant falsehoods.
  13. It's clear that you need a reminder of what you actually wrote all of 2 hours ago: "Please post a link to anyone who thinks biden has done well on the world stage. You won't do it because it's not possible. You'll only come across stories of his blunders." As for your assertion that 2 came from 2021, that's false too. 3 out of the 4 were from March 2022. Not that it's really relevant since your request didn't stipulate a limit on dates. And here's another one from April. Behind the scenes in Japan, a welcome for Biden's defence of Taiwan https://www.reuters.com/world/us/behind-scenes-japan-welcome-bidens-defence-taiwan-2022-05-24/
  14. Neither Biden nor the US sold Ukraine anything. Those weapons are being given. Stop making things up. What Does $40 Billion in Aid to Ukraine Buy? https://www.csis.org/analysis/what-does-40-billion-aid-ukraine-buy
  15. Serious economists seriously disagree with you https://voxeu.org/article/potential-economic-effects-allied-trade-embargo-russia
  16. As Lacessit pointed out, your assertion that Russia isn't paying for it is nonsense. As for the rest, can I hitch a ride in your time machine. I'm assuming that you aren't just offering predictions as evidence but have actually witnessed these events come to pass.
  17. Pretty funny I showed recent evidence and you ignored it.
  18. Right. An inept demented old man who worked and wrangled hard to get a huge infrastructure bill successfully passed with bipartisan support. And then he managed to unite the European nations against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  19. I thought the point of exercise was to put stress on your body. What harm do you think would come to her from wearing a mask?
  20. Well, actually by bringing up the 2024 election you only prove the validity of my point. After all, in that 2024 election you think one issue might be that Trump is responsible for the deaths of more than 450,000 people? How is that gonna stack up against an infant formula shortage?
  21. I guess you believe that Americans support ... .. a Supreme Court whose conservative majority mostly rules in favor of corporations over workers And tax laws that favor the rich and powerful And letting corporations merge and stifle competition And making health insurance for the self employed and the working poor unaffordable And oppose weakening Big Oil So what exactly are the items on Biden's "far left agenda?"
  22. You asked for it Why Biden is getting some praise from Republicans on his handling of Ukraine https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/07/why-biden-is-getting-some-praise-republicans-his-handling-ukraine/ Poll: Biden Gets High Marks for Foreign Policy https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/05/14/poll-biden-foreign-policy-climate-china-russia/ Joe Biden’s indispensable leadership https://www.economist.com/united-states/2022/03/12/joe-bidens-indispensable-leadership ‘Do the right thing’: How US, allies united to punish Putin https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-biden-business-europe-b20d71c150712fe2e6dc3d44af8d1268 You want more?
  23. Yes, you're quite right. The administration did badly drop the ball on that one. And I'm sure, if the Trump administration had performed badly, you would forthrightly condemn them. Fortunately that never happened...oh wait a minute Damning analysis of Trump's pandemic response suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided A report on the Trump administration's policies suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths were avoidable. Compared with six similarly wealthy countries, the US failed to protect citizens' health in the pandemic. Trump publicly downplayed COVID-19 and often undermined health guidelines. https://www.google.com/search?q=excess+deaths+because+of+trump+administration+covid&sxsrf=ALiCzsaro9dt92-5hIdmvBnDOSXIB6279g%3A1654639413483&ei=NcufYqONHdusqtsP7reB6Aw&ved=0ahUKEwjj--KTrJz4AhVblmoFHe5bAM0Q4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=excess+deaths+because+of+trump+administration+covid&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EANKBAhBGAFKBAhGGABQzwhY9iNgvStoAXAAeACAAdcEiAGTIZIBCDMtMTAuMC4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz
