Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
rudi49jr replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Kidnapped Ukrainian kids are being sent to sinister "re-education camps" by Putin's evil child snatchers in a bid to turn them into "Russian zombies", according to a report. Children inside the camps are said to have been put through the process of "information zombification" to rid them of their Ukrainian heritage and make them "pro-Russian." https://www.the-sun.com/news/7557496/child-snatchers-ukraine-kids-russia-zombies-camps/?utm_campaign=native_share&utm_source=sharebar_native&utm_medium=sharebar_native -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
rudi49jr replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
More dissent among Russian troops: “A group of Russian troops sent to Ukraine to fight for the Kremlin’s “new” territory is threatening to raise absolute hell over what they describe as pointless suicide missions—and they’ve made clear they’re willing to turn their weapons on members of their own team if necessary.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-soldiers-filmed-threatening-to-turn-weapons-on-commanders-in-ukraine Hope lots more will follow this example and tell their commanders to go **** themselves. -
If you meant ‘do you have a link to the survey’: if you had bothered to click on the link in the OP: https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-war-woke-most-americans-100008176.html And then in that article click on the link for the survey: https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/americans-divided-whether-woke-compliment-or-insult Not too difficult, is it?

Turns out in this case 56% of Americans (which is a majority, and not just the loony left) disagree with you: “Fifty-six percent of those surveyed say the term means "to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices." That includes not only three-fourths of Democrats but also more than a third of Republicans.”

Thai minivans remind me of the ‘taxi brousse’ in West Africa. These cars (often old Peugeot 504 Familiale) usually have one driver and nine passengers. They also have a disturbing nickname: “neuf morts, un blessée’, which means nine dead, one injured. Accidents often result in all passengers being killed and the driver more or less seriously injured. I’ve spent quite a few hours in both, almost always with tightly clenched buttocks. I’m still not sure which is worse, the Thai minivan or the taxi brousse in West Africa.

Environment Board to Discuss Tackling Forest Fire and Haze
rudi49jr replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That’s all they ever do: they sit in their air conditioned offices, with the air purifiers probably on full blast, and they talk and discuss, and then they say they will closely monitor the situation, which means they will do absolutely nothing (because there is nothing in it for them, no money to be made) and then they go home and complain about the air pollution. This has been going on for years, and will continue to go on for many years to come. -
Jeez, do you guys actually read the things you post before you post them? Or is it just your knee-jerk reaction to anything having to do with Islam? Kill them all, of course. That includes killing millions of innocent and well-meaning people, including children, who just want to have a normal life and mean no one any harm. Or did you mean just kill all the insurgents? In that case, how do you distinguish between a ‘normal’ citizen and an insurgent? Must be nice to live in a black and white world without anything in between. And China has the right idea with how to handle Islamic separatists, seriously? Just rob a couple of million people of their freedom and put them in ‘re-education camps’ because they oppose the Chinese wanting to stamp out every last bit of their culture? Like they have been doing, and are currently still doing, in Tibet?

Poachers who killed rare Tigers lenient sentence angers activists
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wildlife trafficking is a multi-billion dollar business with very little risk involved, especially for the guys at the top earning the big bucks. If someone gets caught, it’s almost always the guys doing the actual poaching or trafficking, never the big cheeses who control the trade and make a fortune. -

Just another example of the evil that is Putin/Russia and its barbaric war in Ukraine: Russian soldiers execute Ukrainian PoW after he says "Glory to Ukraine". https://news.yahoo.com/russian-soldiers-execute-ukrainian-pow-135000255.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLm5sLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB9WvbhnKuF1zWz6pMbP7m8fx5FbarcoDvxzP4l9JBDmhOhOMOxTs25DRNuMhB7mtuSgZHEhqsCZQW8RlygMoOlg3Y7rGu4e9pzl9EIn6hEar0BxhH61rXVbx4yoWXsOIK3uul8BNgsiyX-oAI4mZsmLCCZQdesksHoIznUS5j6P -

Russian army forced to deploy 60-year-old T-62 main battle tanks. Russian BTR-50 armoured personnel carriers, first fielded in 1954, have also been deployed in Ukraine for the first time. -

Russia has “wasted huge amounts of human resources, armaments, and materials” during the war in Ukraine, and it will likely run out of offensive potential by late spring, Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview with USA Today published on March 5. Budanov said “a decisive battle” is set to take place this spring, and predicted that “this battle will be the final one before this war ends,” USA Today reported. https://kyivindependent.com/news-feed/budanov-russia-likely-to-run-out-of-military-tools-by-end-of-spring -

‘Doomsday plane’ landed in Iceland recently. Probably a sign to Putin/Russia to not get any crazy ideas…. -

The only thing there is no question about is that RT is a Kremlin propaganda channel that spouts the most outrageous nonsense. I’m willing to bet my last dollar, euro and baht that that video is fake. -

????????Must be a nice view for the staff of the Russian embassy in Berlin: German peace activists park rusty tank outside Russian embassy. Activists protesting against Russia's invasion of Ukraine parked a destroyed, rusty tank directly in front of the Russian embassy in Berlin on Friday, bringing a piece of the battlefield to the centre of the German capital. "The broken tank signifies downfall. Ukraine is going to be Putin's Stalingrad," said Wieland Giebel, curator of the Berlin Story Bunker museum, referring to Germany's defeat in a major battle in World War Two. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/german-activists-park-destroyed-rusting-tank-outside-russian-embassy-2023-02-24/ -

rudi49jr replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
I found this quite enlightening: “Ukraine war: ‘vranyo’ – Russian for when you lie and everyone knows it, but you don’t care.” Which means I know you know I’m lying to you, yet I’m going to lie to you anyway. That is a very interesting and strange mindset, at which the Russian powers that be apparently excel. https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-vranyo-russian-for-when-you-lie-and-everyone-knows-it-but-you-dont-care-181100 -
Mike Lindell Throws a Tantrum After McCarthy Slips Riot Footage to Tucker
rudi49jr replied to Scott's topic in World News
I’m guessing Mike Lindell’s brain is fried from all the meth/crack he took. How anyone can take a loon like that seriously is beyond me. For instance: how many times exactly (dozens, at least) did he promise to give the world irrefutable evidence that the 2020 election was rigged? And how many times exactly (zero!!) did he actually give us even the tiniest shred of evidence? Just saying…. -

“Seems like a lot of wishin' and hopin' is going on.” Right back at you, mate. At least I’m hoping for a good outcome of this war, something I’m not quite sure you’re rooting for.
