War in Ukraine

[Rasputin_Vol]

Nope! But we are working on it. Will take years. Gotta bring back pharmaceuticals and electronics ASAP.

But you have to do it gradually by monkey branching during the transition. These clowns are trying to cut us off as fast as they can before we're anywhere close to ready.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Lol.

What's funny about that? How much external debt does China have compared to any other country?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Hes the one who framed the conversation along the lines of siding with pedos.

And I'm bring it back to just the facts and not to ad hominem attacks.

I guess if Ritter says today is Tuesday you will question his credibility?

Top Dems Pivot Against Weapons Sales To Saudi Arabia After Oil Production Cut

Top-ranking Democratic Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) have called for a fundamental change to the relationship between Washington and Riyadh after the kingdom announced it would cut its oil production. For years, some senators, such as Rand Paul (R-KY) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), have demanded an end to US weapon sales to Saudi Arabia over Riyadh’s war in Yemen, internal human rights abuses and the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Saudi Arabia is now the bad guys again. LoL The White House should have a like a big board outside showing us who all the good guys and bad guys are.

This can't be true, can it?

Russians have always loved cannon fodder. They've certainly run through enough of it over the years - probably why they love annexing other countries - more cannon fodder along with the other commodities to rape, steal, and pillage.

 

[KB5252]

I hear the Russians are sending boys to the front with three bottle rockets and a pack of black cats these days.

 

[DonjoVol]

Yeah. Biden's son, Pelosi's son, Romney's son, and Kerry's son already drained so many millions of dollars of dirty money from Ukraine than any of those families will ever need while Ukrainian women have been slobbering knob in Istanbul, Beijing, Amsterdam, and every other city in Eurasia just to get by from being a citizen in Europe's poorest country. But these American politicians and the people who vote for them really care about Ukrainians!

American and Ukrainian politicians are not only getting phat paydays from weapons companies, but Monsanto owns 20% of all of the farmland in Ukraine, so that's another big payday right there. Ukrainian men are basically dying to defend Corporate American soil.

Interestingly, Ukraine and Russia already had a whole lot more women than men even before the war started. In the past, it's been hard to get into Russia without a work visa and I imagine it's even harder now and probably not worth the risk of the US government prosecuting you if a $3 lunch at Uncle Vanya's shows up on your American Express Skymiles card.

Ukraine, on the other hand, has always been wide open, but the best place to meet the best-looking Ukrainian women is the dive bars between the Hyatt and Hilton in Taksim district in Istanbul. A lot of them are very well-spoken ladies fluent in English who are obviously very well-educated but with zero opportunity in their homeland since their nation's wealth gets sucked out to Washington DC, so they have to suck off outside of Ukraine to suck money back in. The best-looking Ukrainian I've ever seen, though, has been a streetwalker in China. That one was pre-Maidan, but all the coup did was swap out a corrupt donkey for an equally corrupt mule.

Due to the war, the gender gap in Ukraine and Russia is growing, particularly in the 18-40 age range, especially in Ukraine since it's losing more men both nominally and especially per capita than the Russians. That being said, I've seen a lot of articles about how wives in the UK and elsewhere are angry because their fat middle-aged husbands are leaving them for Ukrainian pieces of ass in their 20s that moved into their home as refugees. Plus Ukrainian women are saturating Tinder and those sites in Western Europe. Russian women are banned for traveling to most of those countries, so they can't leave their husband on the front line for a much wealthier Jody in Germany or Poland the way Ukrainian women can. The war in Ukraine is perhaps the best thing to ever happen to Ukrainian women and one of the worst things to happen in decades to Ukrainian men, except for the "brave" Comedian and his crew who are becoming fantastically wealthy men.

I was watching a short documentary regarding Samaritan men. The men were starting to outnumber the women by an almost 3 to 1 or even 4 to 1 margin. And marrying outside the religion and race was not allowed until recently. You could only be born into the faith. Some of the men started marrying Ukrainian women and having children with them. Before this was allowed I think the Samaritan faith still maybe had 1,000 followers at most.

my whole point is that its not about him being a pedophile influencing the rightness or wrongness of what he says. he is a disgraced analyst making money the only way he can. shilling. your boy juicy fruit took it elsewhere, too clueless to pick up on the obvious.

 

[LouderVol]

That's the American philosophy.

Its everyone's philosophy. Some are just closer to the top than the bottom.

I think I said last week or the week before about Fed foreign credit lines opening up soon.

Funding Panic Imminent? Fed Quietly Sends $3.1 Billion To Switzerland Via Swap Line

Fast forward two weeks when there still hasn't been any formal announcement from the Fed, but every so quietly - and just as we expected - the Fed shuttled $3.1 billion to the Swiss National Bank to cover an emergency dollar shortfall.

Who the hell is going to “reinforce” Russia? Their only suppliers that are willing to play are Iran and North Korea

The Biden gang was trying to deal with Iran. They could just be stupid enough to open a backdoor pipeline through Iran to Russia - never underestimate a Bidenista. You have to assume the dems have some Dulles Bros of their own lurking in the shadows.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Negative. The captured that with their army. They will try to recapture what they have lost.

Say what? You clearly said "reclaimed". You just exposed yourself.

 

[tvolsfan]

I read a link to an old story that I posted a year or so back and it revealed yet another reason why these guys hated the Nordstream pipelines so much. Obviously, they wanted to come in and supply Europe with American LNG at exorbitant prices... that's one angle. But the other angle is that the Nordstream pipelines bypassed Ukraine. And if the bypass Ukraine, then that means that Ukraine and the entities tied in with the pipelines there (Burisma and/or Kyiv govt???) couldn't collect any transit fees from the gas passing through.

Ukraine is a racket for skimming off free money for the politically connected.

 

[AM64]

Dude, lol at those numbers............. You can't actually believe numbers like these.

Ex commies learned how to count votes a long time ago - they've never had close votes in Russia - Russian people apparently have just known what was good for them and voted accordingly. Our dems are green with envy.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

You seriously are not considering their manipulation of their economy to beef up numbers. It's coming back to bite them too.

It's coming back to bite them in mainly one sector of their economy. Either way, if their real estate bubble bursts, worst case is that a few real estate guys lose everything, but they will still have that infrastructure in place. The wealth might disappear, but the physical properties remain.

China does indeed manipulate their currency in order to get favorable currency exchange rates to help their exports. No different than the currency manipulation the FED does and has been doing since 2008. The only difference is that China has more to their economy than just service sector, real estate, financialization, and Only Fans. They actually have manufacturing, mining and agriculture along with it.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Our kill ratios are ridiculously high with a relatively low number of casualties.

I can't argue with you on that. We do indeed have very high kill ratios... combatants plus civilians on one side vs our guys on the other side. What would you think, about 500:1 ratio? Or is that understating it?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

That's right, and more automation will aid in this.

Huh? If you automate, now you cut out jobs for the very people Dallas was talking about. So you haven't helped them much at all.

About $40-45,000 per goat herder.

You guys really love taking one period in history and using that as a stereotype of Russians.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Those clowns don't want to end the racket they have set up in Ukraine. They DGAF about Ukrainian sovereignty.

Right. All the western nations of the world have united over Burisma.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Right. All the western nations of the world have united over Burisma.

Not just Burisma, but you also have LNG sales, weapons sales, human trafficking, drugs, etc. There is a reason why Ukraine was the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe. And had Putin not come along when he did, Russia would be a whore for these same people right now. They miss Yeltsin and the 1990s.

 

[AM64]

Russia invaded and took it away. Taking it back is reclaiming. Ukraine cant claim land held by foreign hands. No one can. Well unless you are Russia apparently.

Another extreme semantics stretch on your part.

Ras doesn't understand subtlety. Apparently using force to take land once taken by force and later freed is still just an act of reclamation ... unless the US has any hand at all in the process - then it's an outrage.
