  1. American family (recovering alcoholic wife) move to Russia for a life more befitting their morals. 45 year old husband joins the Russian army to get a Russian passport more quickly. Thinks he would get a job as a military vlogger, or failing that, a welder at the rear. Instead, gets 3 weeks training in Russian Iwhich he doesn't understand) and sent to the trenches. It really is tragic how retarded this family is. They haven't a bean to rub together. The wife can't even afford a remotely reliable car, so appears to be stuck in a fairly hellish looking village with two kids, none of whom speak Russian, surrounded by cheap booze. Immigrants don't get the signing on bonus like Russians. Only found this out after he signed up.
  2. Chelsea (can't call them Chelski anymore) more or less ignored him, and his was pushed to the back and ignored. The noddy cup was a dry run for the World Cup.
  3. MAGA will be over, just like that, once the President breaths his last. None of his children have the charisma, nor nous, to carry the torch. Its a personality cult. Vance has no personality, and he'll probably find, like Pence, his political future is absolutely screwed. I wouldn't be surprised if, in 2027, he rage quits, citing personal differences with the President (which he may well have) over some point of principle (he's tried to establish himself as a Free Speech Absolutist at the start, but recently has been the invisible man, or at least, no one cares what he says on trips etc), for the pure reason of establishing his own position in the race for 48th President, because its by no means certain, he'll be the anointed one. The Bush family was somewhat different, because George W and Jeb did seek public service.
  4. While a coincidence, sort of, in name, politically very very different.
  5. So RFK was a hostage in this photo, or is he a hypocrite? Or do you believe that Big Macs, bleached chicken McCrispys, fake potato french fries, HFCS Coca Cola makes a healthy, nutritious meals. Right now I would be seriously concerned about the security of your medical records. The FDA is being enabled by the government to access the records of every American in order to, allegedly, test the effectiveness of AI-enabled medical app. There is good suspicion that in fact your health records will be used to train AI for as yet undefined reasons, such as enhanced biometrics (to go beyond Papiere Bitte). At the moment, the FDA is awaiting Congress to rubber stamp the change. The President has already signaled that Project Star Gate (supercharged AI) is one of his adminstrations key objectives in the reindustrialisation of the United States. Some of what you are proposing others call socialism. Surely its my right to eat what I choose, not the Nanny State changing its mind every few year about the latest fad diet.
  6. He only has to recapture Crimea if it had been previously captured by Ukraine. Your language betrays you as a Russian stooge. He wants to liberate parts of his country that are occupied, in the same way, over 80 years ago, General Władysław Sikorski wanted to liberate his homeland, even as Great Powers, Germany and the USSR sought to deny even its legitimacy. Hopefully you have not bought into that claptrap Bolshevik article thats being pedelled on parts of this forum by a well known member who username is very similar to the name of the torturer who founded the NKVD.
  7. Criminals. Interesting how Ukraine has collated (mostly by mining social media) and biographies of serving Russian military personnel who are accused of war crimes. Its like as if Bormann had Instagram, Himmler on Friends Reunited, Hess on MySpace. https://russian-torturers.com/en

  9. It was a meme that appeared during his first term. Quite old.
  10. 107 years after, we still don't really know where Spanish Flu came from. There is circumstantial evidence for various theories. One of the more recent theories, and probably the most likely, is that the strain emerged in China during 1916-17. This was in a region that France and Britain recruited coolies from. A unit transected Canada into Kansas in 1917. They likely infected American troops gathering for deployment to Europe. It might have remained just another flu strain but for timing. It reached the Western Front in the winter of 1918. The long war had come to an end. Casualty clearinng stations on both sides were filled to capacity with wounded men, but also men with trench foot, blood infection. At the end of the War, the inclination was to clear the hospitals ASAP, leaving relatively fit healthy men in trenches, in encampments. The virus ran through this group, resulting in reinfections, essentially training a superbug. Then you have mass movement of refugees going home in multiple directions. Nearly every pandemic in human history is associated with some change in human behaviour. COVID-19 will probably end up being the Globalisation Pandemic; a Pandemic enabled by rapid mass ransportation, and corporate links between a fairly obscure Chinese provincial city and the European car and textile industries. The virus did a number in Wuhan, but didn't become a broader China issue until later. But it really got out of hand when it hit Italy (a more virulant version hit Europe than hit the US West coast; the US West coast strain was essentially due to movements of Chinese diaspora. But in Europe, it was industry executives in Italy and Germany, coupled by the ski season. Many of the early cases in the UK were associated with a medical conference in Singapore, where some of the attendees afterwards returned to the UK after a cheeky ski holiday with mates in Austria. I've worked in BSL-2 through BSL-4 labs since 1988, so I am very aware of their construction and operation. I'm aware of the physical controls that are on top of process controls used in BSL-4 lab. The Zoonitic origin is still the most plausible. You can never rule any theory out for anything, unless you have evidence to discount that theory. But you can rank likelihood based on a range of factors. The second most likely theory is a lab leak, but not from the research labs. The Wuhan Institute was also a reference lab. Reference labs serve to validate the findings of hospital labs, but are also involved in routine disease surveillance. Reference labs don't seek to propagate pathogen. Consequently these labs might be BSL 2 or 2+. They would be receiving thousands of specimens per day for further investigation. Its worth remembering that every city on the planet has at least one hospital, and that one hospital will have a pathology laboratory, also handling thousands of patient specimens a day. Two of the UK's BSL4 high containment labs are in central London. If lab leaks were as easy as some suppose, then we would be knee deep in outbreaks; there are far worse operated path labs in other countries besides China, eg some of the Ebola labs in West Africa were pretty grim.
  11. The Irish community in Great Britain also suffered following IRA attacks. ie Maguire 7, Guildford 4. Your opening senetence is deliberately misleading, in order to sew discord, and pursue your own agenda. You should have stated;
  12. Found dead in his Tesla....... Stories circulating that he was found before he was sacked. But why are top Russians still driving American Teslas. Musk surely has the means to brick every single one, preferebly about 8am local time, on a cold wet November. Plus Tesla will have a full record of owners.
