how would you feel if Germany was still ruled by someone that actually worked in the SS or Gestapo? even if they were just a taxi cab driver in Munich. would you assume there was absolutely no connection between modern germany and the nazis? or to give a real life example what if George Soros was in charge of Germany, would you be arguing that was no connection between Germany today and Nazis? because that is what is going on with Putin.I can't believe the Nazis deployed 4,800 troops and a Panzer battalion to the front -- and to very nearly the same area from which the northern arm of Operation Barbarossa launched into Russia the last time the Nazis were in the neighbood. Near the (former) castle which was the headquarters of the invading Teutonic Knights and a hop skip and a jump from Lake Peipus where the Teutonic Order invaded the Novgorod Republic.Another Seige of Leningrad on the menu?
Something Biden's handlers arranged 2 years ago.
I suppose since several of you'uns act like the Russians are the Soviets, it's only equitable to refer to Germany as Nazis.
You mean like this Clinton USAID op?how would you feel if Germany was still ruled by someone that actually worked in the SS or Gestapo? even if they were just a taxi cab driver in Munich. would you assume there was absolutely no connection between modern germany and the nazis? or to give a real life example what if George Soros was in charge of
For example, in 1995, in insider auctions of prime [post Soviet] national properties, known as loans-for-shares, the Harvard Management Company (H.M.C.), which invests the university’s endowment, and billionaire speculator George Soros were the only foreign entities allowed to participate. H.M.C. and Soros became significant shareholders in Novolipetsk, Russia’s second-largest steel mill, and Sidanko Oil, whose reserves exceed those of Mobil. H.M.C. and Soros also invested in Russia’s high-yielding, I.M.F.-subsidized domestic bond market.
Even more dubious, according to Williamson, was Soros’s July 1997 purchase of 24 percent of Sviazinvest, the telecommunications giant, in partnership with Uneximbank’s Vladimir Potanin. It was later learned that shortly before this purchase Soros had tided over Yeltsin’s government with a backdoor loan of hundreds of millions of dollars while the government was awaiting proceeds of a Eurobond issue; the loan now appears to have been used by Uneximbank to purchase Norilsk Nickel in August 1997. According to Williamson, the U.S. assistance program in Russia was rife with such conflicts of interest involving H.I.I.D. advisers and their U.S.A.I.D.-funded Chubais allies, H.M.C. managers, favored Russian bankers, Soros and insider expatriates working in Russia’s nascent markets.
I'd like my hashbrowns scattered, smothered, covered, licked, diced, and chunked, please. It does fit.Funny Waffle House story since you posted this and why my fiancé says she’ll never eat there again. Anyway, we’re about to place our order and were just chatting. You can see the cook so we just glance over and see this dude grab the block of sliced cheese and is struggling to separate the next piece. So he licks his fingers like it’s a couple sheets of paper stuck together to try and peel up the next slice. We just look at each other and decide we’ll leave.

Yeltsin was completely bent over by Clinton. This is how you get the Putin reaction.
yeah, I didn't find anything particularly relevant in it.@LouderVol did you read the article?
Why do you keep acting as if a coup in Russia is not the next step after this coup in Ukraine? We had the chance to bring post-Soviet Russia into the fold just as we did with post-Nazi Germany. But the MIC didn't see a lot of profits in that.Peace could happen today if Putin stopped waging war.
Why is it that you never seem to criticize Putin for invading Ukraine to begin with?
