  1. Oldie 🙂
  2. Ghislane: List doesen't exist. Bondi: The list is on my table. Who is lying?
  3. You can once inform yourself what a "proxy-war" is. I don't discuss at such a deep level of education comrade johng.
  4. Pure russian propaganda again. NATO is NOT involved (yet). Instead, North Korea is clearly involved with troops (boots on the ground fighting for russia. And the BS about proxy war is again putin-speach, comrade johng.
  5. What does that have to do with youre false claim that NATO is at war with russia? Nothing, nada, ничего, towarischtsch johng.
  6. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/08/22/lavrov-says-no-meeting-planned-between-putin-and-zelensky-a90330 Lavrov Says ‘No Meeting Planned’ Between Putin and Zelensky Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that there are no current plans for a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent suggestion that such talks were imminent. “President Putin said clearly that he is ready to meet, provided this meeting is really going to have an agenda, a presidential agenda,” Lavrov told NBC’s Meet the Press. “There is no meeting planned.”
  7. That's breaking news. I didn't know that NATO is at war with russia. Just russian propaganda BS...
  8. Putin has brutally, illegally, and in violation of international law invaded Ukraine, a sovereign neighboring state, stolen land and defrauded since 2014, and is still waging war, bombing civilians, destroying infrastructure, and causing the deaths of thousands of soldiers, both Russian and Ukrainian. Ukraine is defending itself. "If the aggressor stopped using violence, there would be no more war. If the Ukrainian army stopped defending itself, there would be no more Ukraine." That's a fact.
  9. Yes, thats correct. Even when Trump said that Switzerland has to pay 39% tariffs (actually the US economy does) it went down by 1% for 3 days. I'm happy to have my money in CHF.
  10. Rock star Jack White continued his social media campaign against President Donald Trump on Wednesday with a fiery Instagram post. The White Stripes guitarist made a post featuring various photos and videos of sketchy things Trump has done while president, including selling Bibles and gold shoes. It also included a scorched-earth critique of Trump as a leader. “I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world,” White began the post, while admitting that he doesn’t always state his political opinions publicly or “know all of the facts.” However, he said when it comes to “this man and this administration I’m not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930′s Germany.” White then declared Trump to be “a danger to not just America but the entire world and that’s not an exaggeration.” White also pointed out that Trump is “dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it,” before ending the post with this quote from President Theodore Roosevelt: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
  11. I checked your question. I made 5 transactions this year. Total around 1.8 million bht (we were building our house) via Bangkok Bank. Not amused if that wouldn't be possible for the future.
  12. Dividing the country instead of unifying. That's the clear pathway. USA is heading directly to fashism. What a shame for such a country.
  13. Wholesale gasoline prices in Russia have soared to historic highs after a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes forced several major oil refineries offline, deepening concerns of potential fuel shortages across the country. The benchmark price of AI-92 gasoline on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange climbed to 71,500 rubles ($890, according to spot foreign exchange market data published by Reuters) per ton on Monday, while AI-95 reached 80,430 rubles ($1,000) per ton. The prices rose by 1.3% and 2.2% in a single day, respectively. Since the start of the year, AI-92 has jumped 38% and AI-95 nearly 49%. The surge comes after attacks this month knocked out operations at three major refineries: Rosneft’s Novokuybyshevsk plant on Aug. 2, its Saratov plant on Aug. 11 and Lukoil’s Volgograd refinery — the largest in southern Russia and one of the country’s top 10 producers — on Aug. 14. The shuttered facilities account for nearly 30 million tons of annual refining capacity, or about 11% of Russia’s total output in 2023, according to Reuters. Rosneft’s largest refinery, in Ryazan, has also suspended half its capacity since Aug. 2. Additional strikes have targeted the Syzran, Slavyansk and Afipsky refineries. The Kremlin imposed a temporary ban on gasoline exports until the end of August to contain the crisis and later extended it through September. Analysts say that measure is unlikely to have much effect, as Russia exports relatively little gasoline. The greater risk, sources told Reuters, is a full-fledged domestic shortage. Signs of strain are already emerging at the pump. In annexed Crimea, AI-95 has disappeared from most gas stations and remaining supplies are distributed mainly by ration cards. And it has vanished altogether in the towns of Krasnokamensk and Borzya in the Zabaikalsky region. Stations are restricting sales to businesses and organizations in at least two other regions. The Energy Ministry has sought to reassure the public, insisting on Aug. 13 that supplies remain stable and logistics uninterrupted. The shortfall, it said, is being offset by higher output at other refineries. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/08/18/drone-strikes-on-refineries-push-russias-gasoline-prices-to-record-highs-a90271
  14. With such kind of argumentation, you clearly say that every country wich has nuclear weapons can take whatever they want. And all the otherpeacefull countries shall wave their white flags. That's ridiculous. Youre thinking is going backwards to the 19th century: No humanity, no rule of law, no fundamental rights, no accountability, no separation of powers.
  15. Fine with me. If you and Donnie think Russia is a better choice, go for it. But as usual you just change the subject instead of trying to follow the discussion. Don't you get any briefings and updates how to handle such situations? You should talk with a superior authority. You're colleagues in Europe do much better than that.
  16. Sorry, only a distracting comment and has nthing to do with my post. Next.
  17. Yeah, this fairy tale is now told since over 3.5 years. The last thing that Russia would do is to "deploy a nuclear device". After that Russia would be dematerialized. Immediatly. GB and France also have "big red buttons". USA can then join or not, doesen't matter. Nobody in Europe cares anymore about this over and over repeated "menace". A worn out and meanwhile useless speach of russian trolls. Bring a newer one than that empty threat.
  18. It is hard for some to understand, that Russia alreay has lost. The 3-day "special operation" is so far on day 1273. In european Forums russian trolls said this from the beginning, that Ukraine is lost. 3 and a half years later, the democracy of Ukaine is still alive. And will survive the terroristic assaults from the "oh so fantastic and unbeatable russian army". Forget it. Russia will sink for a very long time in to a deep dark hole. Or as the orange narcisst in the White House would name it - a sh..-hole country.
  19. Unfortunatley the article isn't in english, so I post only a translation: In contrast, Putin's foreign policy advisor, Yuri Ushakov, initially only stated that the current direct negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv should be conducted at a higher level than before. He did not speak of a meeting between the presidents, but rather of continuing to discuss delegations. Zelensky repeatedly criticized the Moscow negotiators for not having any say. He therefore called for a direct conversation with Putin. Today, 19.08.25 00:19 CEST

  21. Trump has made extraordinary concessions to Russia in exchange for nothing at all. Russia has repaid him by continuing the war in Ukraine and mocking him on state-controlled television. What are those concessions? Just by meeting Putin in Alaska, Trump ended more than three years of Western diplomatic isolation of the Kremlin. By shaking hands with an indicted war criminal, Trump signaled that the killings, the torture, the abductions in Ukraine do not matter. Even the choice of Alaska was a concession, and an odd one. Russians, including major figures in state media, routinely claim Alaska for Russia Inviting people who claim your territory inside your main military base on that territory to discuss a war of aggression they started without inviting anyone representing the country they invaded – well, that is just about as far as a foreign-policy fantasy can go.
  22. Sorry, you don't seem to follow the news. Moscow has already indicated that a delegation could be sent for negotiations. Putin would not be personally available. Putin has won against Trump - as always he made a TACO again. No consequences for Russia at all. The house has agreed to set up the sanctions against Putin. TACO.
