Eastern Europe may well be the grave for the EU. The Ukrainians, a greenlighted EU candidate, has managed to involve the EU in a costly war. For decades East European countries have pocketed massive EU monies, especially Poland, and in return done nothing but obstruct EU policies. The voting in the EU parliament has become a near impossibility thanks to vetos held by East European countries. It was the biggest mistake ever to expand to Eastern Europe. There should be a forced BREXIT for all Eastern European countries, nothing but freeloaders and dead weights for the EU. A half of Britain would be better than all of Eastern Europe.

Which ones? He had so many.

Actually "the people in Poland" don't believe Russia will invade Poland. Like everywhere else the Polish people are divided on this issue, as you can see here:

Russia wants to invade them all? Wow. Sounds very dangerous. UK too? Is there any shred of evidence for this claim that Russia will invade the UK? I'm sure you'll provide a link?

How dangerous his words must be that people are not allowed to listen to them 80 years after the event. Same with that Ben Laden letter.

Still a hit with the young after 80 years. That rascal...

Churchill admitted he would have been a fascist if he had been born Italian: "If I had been an Italian, I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism." https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/mussolini-churchill-2/#:~:text=If I had been an,his courtliness to foreign hosts.

I greatly admire the British interview culture, people like Paxman and others, who actually do not let the politician get away with talking sideways. I have only ever seen robust questioning in the UK, nowhere else does this as seriously and competently as the British journalists do. Fawning journalists who soil their own pants when they see a politician is the norm, but not in Britain.

Well, he was born in Pakistan, but raised in india, which made him particularly receptive to the tales of Churchill's hatred of Indians. Yes, sadly, he was a Marxist, but everyone makes some mistakes. His view on Churchill is exceptionally well informed though.

Back on topic: Oxford graduate Tariq Ali on how the crimes of Churchill continue to be perpetrated today:

I do envy the faith and hope religious people can have, regarding an afterlife. It must be very consoling.

"Everyone’s terrified of Meghan,” claims a source close to the couple. “She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently." Something has gone wrong with parenting in the post war years, John Mearsheimer also lamented the strange decline in political leaders recognising the limits of power since the 1990s.

Disease, old age and pain is what my 92 year old grandmother is going through now. I just met her a few weeks ago again. Her suffering is great. This is the most terrifying thing, that disease, old age, pain, death and the conversion to dust awaits us all.

With this mayor at the helm New York went to the dogs. Politicians, bar a few exceptions, are just out to benefit themselves, the days of politicians taking obligations to the people seriously is long gone.

I do agree, it was almost a shock to see Channel 4 news actually sending a reporter to Pokrovsk, and then to report his actual findings that the local population was furious at Zelensky and that the soldiers were scared and not talking victory but blaming Zelensky for weaking the front for a futile Kursk incursion. Indeed the Russians have advanced, the Ukrainian strongholds of Ukrainsk and Vuledahr have just fallen. Russians are sure to take Pokrovsk very soon. This will give them a number of important advantages. I also see these depot attacks and blown bridges as mere pin pricks by Ukraine, even the whole Kursk incursion, after all the real reason Ukraine advanced so far there was because there were almost no Russian soldiers, and for a good reason, the area has little strategic importance in the battle for Ukraine. Regarding all the billions of aid for Ukraine, it is rather useless if Ukraine does not get the hardware and men it needs. All the billions in the world won't stop the Russian army advancing on Pokrovsk apparently. And the fact is the West does not have the materiel to give to Ukraine which it would need to prevail. The fact that even staunch allies of Ukraine like the president of Czech Republic Mr Pavel, who know a thing or two about military matters, have come out publicly and told the Ukrainians to be sensible and accept negotiations rather than killing their people needlessly tells you all you need to know how it's going on the battlefield. It's going Russia's way.

Who would have thought the oh so nice Ellen de Generes was in reality such a horrible person. Goes to show how first impressions can be wrong BuzzFeed News spoke to one current and 10 former employees on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, all of whom asked to remain anonymous, fearing retribution from the award-winning NBC daytime talk show and others in the entertainment industry. They said they were fired after taking medical leave or bereavement days to attend family funerals. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/krystieyandoli/ellen-employees-allege-toxic-workplace-culture

Well, Trump was certainly a danger to Mark Esper's political and military ambitions afterhe unceremoniously fired Esper. What els is he gonna say? Esper showed very poor judgement when he refused to accept that the President has sole discretion on whether to send the military to quell insurrection, he was lucky not to be fired then already. He was bizarrely woke for a military man, agreeing to rename Military bases named after Confederate Generals, when that was not White House policy. it's as if he wanted to get fired, just very strange behaviour. His sour grapes were predictable.

Channel 4 news from the UK has sent a reporter to the frontline city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine. He sent this report "Fury at Zelensky in Front Line City" He reports Ukrainian soldiers are not talking victory but blame weakness on their front on Zelensky's incursion in Kursk. He also reports on the fury of local inhabitants of Pokrovsk with Zelensky. He also reports the Ukrainian strongholds of Vuledahr and Ukrainsk have fallen to Russian forces, who are now converging on Pokrovsk.

1 Oh I am sure the Ukrainians will try to hold on to the land in Kursk. But tell me, do you think they will succeed? Putin cleverly saw through the gambit like the consumate chess player that he is, and refused to fall for the trap. He keeps his best troops where it mattered and will slowly flush out the Ukrainians in Kursk. No rush about that required. 2 if you think Ukraine is winning on the main front, I don't think you are well informed about current developments. 3 You misunderstood the British expert, he drew a very clear analogy when he explained that in the attacks on Serbia the West had to fly over 10000 bombing missions and that the Ukraine is simply incapable of mounting anything approaching such numbers so it is very unlikely that missiles against a number of Russian targets will have an effect on the war in the sense of defeating Russia. They won't. Again, Ukraine cannot win this war. What about the last point, Brian, the fact that strong Ukraine supporter and former military man President Pavel of the Czech Republic has said there is no hope in the near future of Ukraine winnig the war and a negotiated peace is now the best option? "In an interview with The New York Times (NYT) published on Sept. 23, Petr Pavel said the "temporary" occupation of some Ukrainian territories by Russia is the most likely outcome of Moscow's full-scale invasion. "To talk about a defeat of Ukraine or defeat of Russia, it will simply not happen. So the end will be somewhere in between," he said, adding Kyiv needed to be "realistic."" "Defeating Russia in Ukraine at the cost of killing half the Ukrainian population is probably not a victory." https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-responds-after-czech-presidents-temporary-russian-occupation-comments/

The reason for President Putin's new nuclear doctrine are not found in the present, in any current military developments. Rather obviously the reason for the new doctrine is to send a clear warning to Western states about future actions, it has been made very clear that if Ukraine were to deploy missiles to hit targets in Russia, use drones on a grand scale in Russia, or send aircraft on a large scale to attack Russian targets, then Russia will consider that sufficient resason to deploy tactical nuclear weaopns. The West has a problem hearing and listening to Russia's warnings, this is why this has to be made clear, after all, that is why the war in Ukraine happened in the first place, the West not listening to Russia's concerns about Ukraine becoming a Western client state. The West did not listen and the war in Ukraine ensued. Equally, whether or not permission is given by the US or not to use missiles, the Ukraine will try and hit Russia with missiles it made herself in an effort to draw the US into the conflict. It is for the US to decide if it allows itself to be dragged into a hot war with Russia by Ukraine, by providing Ukraine with missiles and allowing strikes on Russia. The warnings could not be made any clearer by Russia, but no doubt the shock and outrage will be great when the first tactical nuclear weapon is deployed. Then Putin can point to repeated warnings and say "I told you so, you did not listen". Just as he did with Ukraine in the first place in relation to NATO.

The Daily Mail for me. It will tell you details other papers will not.

Kiev without power in large parts. Could be a cold winter in Ukraine.

A British expert on German TV: 1 - Kursk gambit has failed, troops would have been much better used on the main front 2 - Another Ukrainian town has fallen to the Russians 3 - Missiles would make no difference in the course of the war, too few of them. 4. - Presdent Pawel of Czech Republic, a staunch Ukraine supporter, said it is now clear that Ukraine will have to cede territory, a victory is unlikely.

The polls were accurate in 2016....hahahahahaha.... You're funny at least.

Watch your mouth in how you talk about the next First Lady, the beautiful and gracious Melania. How dare you take that tone about this lovely woman? i've never read such absolute tripe on this board. Disgraceful. You should be ashamed of yourself.
