Russia’s economy is doomed
Having more nukes than the opposition makes them a superpower. There is another country "making their presence known .. by violence.". Anything to say about them in the relevant subforum, or is it only bad when Russia does it? -

Freedom House
You, maybe?, and many others, drive without a license here because they don't care to enforce their own laws. This isn't about freedom but a lack of care for it's citizens. many things here allowed because someone is getting a bribe for them. Look back at the many protests that have taken place and how many were killed trying to get changes. Tak Bai, 1976, a military run government where people have no say, someone elected into office and another replaces him after he won the majority of the votes, February 18, 2014, May 17-20 1992, 2010 crackdown where 6 died, these and others aren't what happens when freedom is in place and don't happen in the west...............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–2021_Thai_protests. -

Convicted Paris Synagogue Bomber Lives Freely in Canada Amid Growing Outrage
Hassan Diab, the man convicted in absentia for the 1980 bombing of a Paris synagogue, remains free in Canada, sparking outrage among Jewish advocacy groups and political leaders. Despite an international arrest warrant and a life sentence handed down by a French court, Diab continues to live in the suburbs of Ottawa, where he has been seen walking and biking in recent weeks. Jewish organizations are condemning the Canadian government’s refusal to extradite Diab. “That Hassan Diab remains free in Canada is unacceptable,” said Richard Marceau, Vice President, External Affairs and General Counsel at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), in a statement to DailyMail.com. Critics argue that his continued presence in the country is a failure of justice, made worse by the fact that he was convicted of carrying out a deadly anti-Semitic attack. On the evening of October 3, 1980, a powerful explosive device, hidden on a motorcycle, detonated outside the Rue Copernic synagogue in Paris, killing four people. French authorities identified Diab as a suspect years later, but he has always maintained his innocence, claiming he was taking university exams in Beirut at the time of the bombing. Diab was arrested in Canada in 2008 but was granted bail while awaiting an extradition decision. In 2014, he was sent to France, where he spent three years in pretrial detention. In 2018, French prosecutors dropped the charges due to a lack of evidence, allowing him to return to Canada. However, the case took a dramatic turn when the Paris Court of Appeal reversed that decision in January 2021, ordering Diab to stand trial. He refused to return to France, and on April 21, 2023, he was convicted in absentia of terrorism charges and sentenced to life in prison. Canada has so far refused to send him back to France, a decision made by the government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. With a Canadian federal election expected this spring, political pressure is mounting for Diab’s extradition. Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the government’s inaction, writing on social media last November: “Why hasn’t he been extradited to France to face justice?” Diab himself has acknowledged the uncertainty of his situation, telling a Canadaland podcast, “I just have to be careful. It’s like you are living in constant fear. It’s not easy, it’s like waiting for a ghost to appear from somewhere.” Last year, Diab taught a course titled Social Justice in Action at Ottawa's Carleton University, using his extradition case in the class. B'nai B'rith Canada was one of the many Jewish groups that blasted Carleton University, in a statement posted on social media. 'We cannot stand by while a convicted terrorist, affiliated with a listed terrorist group, teaches on our campuses! Jewish organizations and victims’ advocates insist that allowing a convicted terrorist to remain in Canada undermines the justice system. Marceau emphasized that Diab’s trial in France was fair, stating, “He was afforded every protection under French and European law and was found guilty by an independent court of law.” He further argued that failing to extradite him is “an abuse of process” and added, 'Justice must be upheld. At a time of rising anti-Semitism, allowing a convicted perpetrator of a deadly anti-Semitic attack to remain in Canada is indefensible. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2025-03-24 -

Trump’s Envoy Dismisses Starmer’s Ukraine Plan as "Posture and Pose"
Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, has rejected UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s proposal for an international force to oversee a ceasefire in Ukraine, calling it "a posture and a pose." Speaking in an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff criticized the idea as "simplistic," accusing Starmer and other European leaders of trying to emulate Winston Churchill. During the interview, Witkoff spoke highly of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he "liked" him and did not consider him a "bad guy." He described Putin as "super smart" and shared details of a recent meeting between them that took place ten days prior. According to Witkoff, Putin had been "gracious" and "straight up" in their discussions. He also claimed that Putin had prayed for Trump after last year's assassination attempt on him and had commissioned a portrait of the former U.S. president as a gift. "Trump was clearly touched by it," Witkoff added. Throughout the discussion, Witkoff echoed several Russian narratives, including the claim that Ukraine was "a false country" and questioned when the world would recognize the occupied regions of Ukraine as Russian. Although he leads the U.S. ceasefire negotiations with both Ukraine and Russia, he struggled to name all five Ukrainian regions that Russia has annexed or partially occupied. "The largest issue in that conflict are these so-called four regions, Donbas, Crimea, you know the names and there are two others," he stated. The five regions in question—Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea—comprise significant parts of eastern and southern Ukraine. Witkoff made several assertions that have been widely disputed or debunked. He claimed that Ukrainian troops were surrounded in the Kursk region, a claim denied by Ukraine’s government and not supported by any available evidence. He also stated that referendums in the occupied regions showed overwhelming support for Russian rule, even though such referendums, held at different times, have been widely discredited by international observers. Additionally, he suggested that these regions were Russian-speaking, implying that this justified Russia’s occupation. While many people in Ukraine do speak Russian, this has never been a reliable indicator of support for Russian governance. He further justified Russia’s full-scale invasion by arguing that, from a Russian perspective, the occupied territories were already part of Russia. "The elephant in the room is, there are constitutional issues within Ukraine as to what they can concede to with regard to giving up territory. The Russians are de facto in control of these territories. The question is: will the world acknowledge that those are Russian territories?" he asked. Witkoff also stated that Russia’s view of Ukraine as an artificial creation was central to the conflict. "There’s a sensibility in Russia that Ukraine is just a false country, that they just patched together in this sort of mosaic, these regions, and that’s what is the root cause, in my opinion, of this war. Russia regards those five regions as rightfully theirs since World War Two, and that’s something nobody wants to talk about." Putin has consistently framed the war as a response to NATO expansion and the mere existence of Ukraine as an independent nation. Witkoff, however, argued that Russia had already achieved its objectives. "Why would they want to absorb Ukraine? For what purpose? They don’t need to absorb Ukraine… They have reclaimed these five regions. They have Crimea, and they have gotten what they want. So why do they need more?" When asked about Starmer’s plan to form a "coalition of the willing" to provide military security guarantees for Ukraine after the war, Witkoff dismissed it as both performative and naive. "I think it's a combination of a posture and a pose and a combination of also being simplistic. There is this sort of notion that we have all got to be like [British wartime prime minister] Winston Churchill. Russians are going to march across Europe. That is preposterous, by the way. We have something called NATO that we did not have in World War Two." He revealed that a ceasefire in the Black Sea was expected "over the next week or so" and suggested that a full 30-day ceasefire was "not far away." He also shared insights into Trump’s long-term vision for U.S.-Russia cooperation once relations are normalized. "Who doesn’t want to have a world where Russia and the US are doing collaboratively good things together? Thinking about how to integrate their energy policies in the Arctic, share sea lines maybe, send LNG gas into Europe together, maybe collaborate on AI together?" Based on a report by BBC 2025-03-24
