 I guess Alexander Navalny doesn't disagree with that. But that's because he died in a Russian prison. But the thing is, the opposition was allowed to say anything they liked about the Ukraine War as long as it was supportive. Oh...and it was a criminal offense to call it a war.

Whether you add hominy or just plain cornmeal, your comment makes no sense. On the other hand, if you meant ad hominem, well, in that case your comment would still make no sense.

If he was that popular he'd call an election so could be a legitimate leader. Why do the American left fall so hard for clumsy propaganda?

Why do you and others repeat this stupid election, election, election again and again?

They are in a war. And they don't have a fixed election date like i.e. the Americans.

Everybody with at least a little of brain understands why they don't have elections in the middle of a war.

Why don't you spend more time reading and listening instead of repeating the same again and again and again.

It doesn't get better if you repeat it 100 times.

I hope Zelensky tells Trump to f#$# off, literally. I am sure that would increase his support at home and in Europe considerably.

 

Why should Zelensky even try to make a deal with Trump? Trump lies all the time. Any deal would be an unknown risk.

Just tell Donald to go home and stay home. You will get standing ovations.

Are you claiming the guy who declared martial law is capable of holding off elections as long as he wishes?   And that's okay?

 

In recent history, they referred to that guy as Fuhrer.  I wonder what the Ukrainian translation is.

 

The parliament voted for that.

Are you claiming that maintaining martial law when the country is assaulted, invaded and bombed, is not legitimate, really? 😆

It's useless too argue with 47 supporters. They don't think, just repeat what they are being told to repeat.

That's the beauty of it. They don't have to think and are always convinced they are right. And they never listen to those fake news from the others. The perfect bubble.

The only reason the US held an election in 1944 was that it wasn't being bombed every day.

Not every day but just a few times;  🤣

While the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in World War II is well known, most people are less familiar with other Japanese attacks on US soil in World War II.

So you are trying to draw a parallel between a country which currently has a war being fought on it's terrority, where a large proportion of its' people have been displaced and where much of the  infrastructure has been destroyed and a country that experienced none of that during WW2?

 

Yep. That makes sense.

Support for little Z must be 100% by now? I also hear he recently played a perfect round of golf - 18 hole in 1's in a row. Just marvellous...

Some people say they find it hard to trust anyone named in the money laundering scandal the Pandora papers. I say nonsense. Send the little guy 200 billion smackers and dont ask how he spends it. What could possibly go wrong?

That's a ridicules comparison @impulse. The US certainly was not under  existential threat at any time during WW2. Neither were millions of its population displaced or constantly under bombardment and Its infrastructure being destroyed night after night. None of this was ever a problem for the US.

 

How can a Ukraine possibly hold elections under such circumstances?

I suggest the fact Trump Media had income of $3.6 million while It lost $400 million is a pretty good indicator of the company's worth.

 

But hey, you are a much more sophisticated investor than us peons, so please put your money where your mouth is.

Good to see Stephen King back in the public domain

He made an unexpected return to X/Twitter on Thursday (20 February), just before the release of The Monkey, a new horror film based on one of his short stories.

In his first post, King jokingly wrote: “I’m baaaack! Did you miss me?”

The writer then quickly followed this up by adding: “Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dips***! Goes double for Elon!”

All that proves is your irrational hatred of Trump supercedes any knowledge you have of economics. The market cap of a listed company literally is it's value. Many huge companies like Amazon lost money for years. Saying you hate DJT so much that his $7BILLION company is worthless is beyond foolish. Yet here we are😅

There was no existential threat to the USA during WWII. Invading America either from the Pacific or Atlantic was a logistical impossibility, and still is.

 

The best the Japanese could do was bomb Pearl Harbor. A few fire balloons, nuisance value. On the German side, submarines off Galveston and Halifax.

 

"God is on the side of the big battalions". Once the US ramped up industrial production to wartime levels, there was no other country in the world that could match it.

If that is the case why does trump keep telling blatant lies undermining his negotiators, he should keep his mouth shut during his team's negotiations. Seems some MAGA supporters have forgotten Russia is at war with Ukraine attacking civilians every day. Accordingly how could Ukraine run a safe election during a time of war? Plus it is crazy for trump to claim Ukraine commenced open warfare on Russian. Russian has been attacking Ukraine in one form or another since 2014 with over 10,000 deaths prior to Russia's invasion in 02/2022.

 

trump is  going to severely erode America's creditability and trust on the international stage - not a good look.

The market value of any company is comprised of the assets it actually owns, and what is termed blue sky. What investors think and hope it will be worth down the track. Trump Media has oodles of blue sky.

 

My investments consist of a large resource company which pays a dividend like clockwork every six months. My blue sky factor is a sleeper sitting on the richest rare earth deposits on the planet, with supply contracts already inked with the Pentagon and Siemens. I have never lost money trading in either.

 

Apart from that, I have never lost money trading in precious metals - gold, silver and platinum.

 

But you are so much smarter than me. Let me know when you make a realised capital gain on DJT, or get your first dividend. It's down 1.4% today.

 

You weren't one of the suckers that bought in at $70, were you?

Market cap is still the worth/value of the company. No idea why you keep arguing against fact. Fact trumps hate filled rants every day of the week.

It doesn't matter, anyway. The Ukrainian constitution forbids to hold election when the country is under martial law.
