  1. Belarus and Russia are playing games with these people's lives.
    143
  2. The EU should tell Belarus and Russia, you brought these people in, you take care of them. Maybe Putin can also offer dance lessons as he seems to like moving people around.
    73
  3. Conflict studies? This isn't a conflict, this is a Hollywood musical where the Taliban dances it's way all over Afghanistan.
    59
  4. Allowing continuing illegal immigration, no matter how noble ends up being a knife in the backs of Americans who must follow the law.
    43
  5. Imagine how bad things would be if we didn't have the experts to help us out.
    28
  6. Okay, we're all screwed. But I still have to figure out what to make for dinner tonight.
    27
  7. It seems Germany has a need to screw up Europe every few decades.
    19
  8. Brittney Griner: “I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand.” I wonder how does Brittney feel now?
    18
  9. India's policy seems to be, If you give us discount we are your friends.
    13
  10. Maybe NATO can help Russia decide to leave and as a part of any treaty, have Russia turn over some of it's oil and gas fields to the EU.
    12
  11. Looks like Russia doesn't have to worry about any failure to delivery lawsuits.
    12
  12. There are no experts like Google is expert and it's just out of their teens staff.
    11
  13. Trump, DeSantis and Cari Lake. Politics hasn't been this much fun since Ronald Reagan ran.
    11
  14. Diversity does as much for human kind as a set of ice skates does for a dog.
    10
  15. A compensation fund. I love that. What a marketing term. The worst drought in 40 years. So in other words, there were bad droughts before? How did droughts happen before that?
    9
  16. I take it no other country is against Iran having the bomb outside of he United States or Israel?
    8
  17.  @kafir1mw2quick  How many times has NATO attacked Russia vs How many times The Soviet Union/Russia has attacked it's neighbors?
    8
  18. First Biden, then Harris next.
    8
  19. I think I'll buy Pfizer stock when the government recommends the 38th Covid booster shot.
    7
  20.  @giltedged7529  Look at what kow-towing to Russia did for you guys.
    7
  21. Western Europe. Eastern Europe seems to be resisting the enlightened western part.
    7
  22. The Germans did seem to ignore other countries and their objections.
    7
  23. Genocide was a pretty common thing for 1,000's of years. I don't see Syria apologizing for the Assyrians. Did Iran ever apologize for the Persian Empire?
    6
  24. Some of the highest income groups in America are minorities.
    6
  25. The EU should have gone into Ukraine and push the Russians out of the country. Putin would be totally embarrassed and Russia itself may think twice before installing any KGB types in leadership again.
    6
  26. America's problems began when the U.S. got involved in alliances a century ago.
    6
  27.  @tnsocialist1257  Netanyahu with the leaders of HAMAS who attacked Israel standing right next him to hear the charges against them?
    5
  28.  @Kevin-gb7lk  Societies do not go to war with themselves over common agreement, they go to war with themselves over diverse views.
    5
  29.  @nolimit6241  Japan's problems are not the because of the U.S., they are suffering from the same thing they did to U.S. industry... they sold very cheap. Now China is doing the same to Japan. Germany made the fatal mistake of depending on Russia. A country that has no problem being aggressive on a moment's notice. The beauty of it is, Putin has turned Russia into a ward of China in the process.
    5
  30. What do these countries want from Germany? Money, lots and lots of money.
    5
  31. I have to correct that woman, a lot of people in America do not consider climate change as big as the scare tactics suggest.
    5
  32. The only white supremacists I see are left wing and they like attacking people and burning down buildings.
    5
  33. Always keep in mind Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine did not attack Russia.
    5
  34. The DW staff loves this kind of stuff.
    5
  35. Nice one sided puff piece. Is DW trying to compete with CGTN? Or is this story going to play on CGTN next?
    5
  36. Sounds like a healthy grain diet.
    5
  37.  @masmoudi5595  You do not have to lie to feed kids.
    4
  38. China could do the same in Siberia.
    4
  39.  @muskoxi9886  Here in the U.S. we got diversity by the boatload and the warring factions that come with it. I do not think the dimwits in Europe understand what they are getting themselves into.
    4
  40. The worst forest fire in the United States had taken place in 1910. Known as the Big Burn, it has never been equaled.
    4
  41. Rick Wilson must be the only Republican Ines Pohl knows. They said the same things about Reagan as they did about Trump. And if they were right about Reagan, Ines Pohl wouldn't be with us interviewing the only Republican she knows, Rick Wilson. By the way Ines, Liz Cheney is finished in politics. The only Republican that likes her is Rick Wilson.
    4
  42. You let those people disembark. You then tow the ship out to sea and sink it.
    4
  43. Resolutions like that are called a Sense Of The Senate or a Sense of the House in the U.S. The body is offering an opinion but the resolution has no force of law. It lets an opposing foreign state know the Congress is not feeling friendly towards them.
    3
  44. Considering U.S. trade deficits, the money will end up back in Europe quickly.
    3
  45. @Geralt of Pimpland You have never read the news from Portland, Oregon then.
    3
  46. The bank was more concerned pushing Left wing causes for alternative sexual lifestyles than sound banking. They had a full time diversity officer who also did part time work for the risk management department. The poor woman just didn't have the time to be the look out for oncoming icebergs. This bailout won't cost U.S. taxpayers a penny if the Democrat Party returned all those huge donations they got from Silicon Valley.
    3
  47. The problem with these videos is many times they have been edited to create a certain effect and not show what happens before or after.
    3
  48. Sure Ukraine can join, well, what is left of it.
    3
  49. The Chinese would appreciate the cost savings.
    3
  50. Is Putin admitting the Russia army is a façade?
    3
  51. Maybe this winter the Germans should freeze for Pakistan?
    3
  52.  @aeye9772  Then why would you support Russia?
    3
  53. It is clear these two women drank the Kool Aid. No questions, no doubts. Unquestioning acceptance.
    3
  54. California's problems were created by California and it's energy policies. The state has been aware of the problems ahead and how did they deal with it? Exchanged large scale power generation for solar panels.
    3
  55. You must watch DW often.
    3
  56. The Communist Party is trying to preserve itself and remain on top of the heap. That is what Communist parties do.
    3
  57.  @ugam04hotep  Within it's own borders the Chinese should be apologizing all day long. Armenia, Rwanda, Cambodia...
    2
  58.  @garfield2439  Yes, much, much easier to be brave and strong in the United States.
    2
  59.  @calvinhoward3808  Americans for green energy means leave no Chinese unemployed.
    2
  60. Zimbabwe used to know how to fish.
    2
  61. Regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives by the Republicans is a good night's work.
    2
  62. The questioning should be done BEFORE you open the gates.
    2
  63. Since the west is the source of the problem, why do developing countries want to follow suit? It appears poverty is noble and good for the environment.
    2
  64.  @davidrink1291  Climate change happens all the time. History shows that.
    2
  65. Did you think she going to say anything new?
    2
  66. Russia attacked, you blame the attacker, not the victim.
    2
  67. What does Putin have to fear? Once NATO took sending troops in off the table, Putin got the upper hand. As for the nukes. Putin is gambling on scaring off the west.
    2
  68.  @aeye9772  Russia was dictating who Ukraine could be friends with. Plus Ukraine was dealing with hostile forces.
    2
  69. Germans should bring back their nuclear power plants and start converting homes and businesses to electric heating. This will give them flexibility with fuel sources and reduce the need to depend on Russia for any fuel.
    2
  70. I wonder how much of this money ends up in African and Asian politicians bank accounts.
    2
  71. People like her get ahead because the soyboys of the Left fail so badly.
    2
  72.  @homelessjesse9453  Think of all the things that wouldn't have happened if Russia did not invade Ukraine. Thankfully, Vladimir Putin did rescue us from Ukrainian apartment buildings, I will sleep peacefully tonight.
    2
  73. Translation for Putin: I screwed this up, now you reservists get to bail me out.
    2
  74. Plenty of rain here and its been pretty cool for this time of year. Global warming has been working out well for me so far. I hope that woman doesn't fix the problem for us.
    2
  75. Energy companies are regulated by government experts. Think about what you wish for.
    2
  76. The U.S. isn't stopping Germany from carpeting itself with wind turbines.
    2
  77. I love that phrase "science deniers" :) Very Orwellian.
    2
  78.  @Drakey_Fenix  You would have to have a remarkable advance in solar cells to make this work.
    2
  79. Could Russia have done this to prevent Germany from using the pipeline as part of a LNG terminal?
    2
  80. This does not excuse Russian behavior.
    2
  81. Forget about NATO?
    2
  82. Having NATO not going into Ukraine just keeps paying dividends every day.
    2
  83. When a high wage country trades with a low wage country, things will end only one way. The Germans are also learning this lesson. Americans are now trying to reverse the damage. Those Chinese bargains cost a fortune.
    2
  84. All treaties are subject to renegotiation over time. Covid also showed China could not be relied on.
    2
  85.  @marilenaganea6578  I was responding to you. Forget what you said?
    2
  86.  @marilenaganea6578  One seeker had the best reason for seeking asylum; her husband yelled at her.
    2
  87.  @Diana1000Smiles  It is not unreasonable to regulate immigration. The U.S. always has.
    2
  88. How is it a theft if Africans agree to a deal?
    1
  89. I hope you are not saying Russia did not invade Ukraine with less than the highest humanitarian motives!
    1
  90. China is a cheap supplier which is why they have so much of the market. Buying cheap, you sometimes get what you pay for.
    1
  91. Same in the United States.
    1
  92. Any man who pays just $750 in federal taxes should be president. By the way, who ever released his tax returns broke the law.
    1
  93. "surely we will learn from history right?" Doubtful.
    1
  94. Maybe next time Putin makes threats, he could spell it out for you.
    1
  95. Josef Stalin would be pleased.
    1
  96. I agree. Keep in mind if Russia triggers off a worldwide economic slowdown, it will be Russia's ally China that will pay for it. Xi Jinping is well aware of this.
    1
  97. Putin will have to hurry as it's China that is keeping the lights on in Moscow.
    1
  98. LOL... Jan 6 was a riot by a small group of people, not the over throw of the U.S. government... nothing more. I do admit the Buffalo Man would have made a more interesting Speaker Of The House than Nancy Pelosi.
    1
  99. If the U.S. did go autocratic, it would be by the hands of the Democrat Party, an organization that knows what you need better than you do. This reporter is spending too much time hob knobbing with Progressives.
    1
  100.  @susivarga7303  They joined the party didn't they? The western front wasn't packed with Latvians was it? Military forces within Germany pushed the Kaiser into war, right? Austria-Hungary was in a semi state of collapse. Who kept the war effort going?
    1
  101.  @susivarga7303  Germany didn't start World War 1, Austria did. None the less Germany helped rearrange Europe.
    1
  102.  @susivarga7303  Try me
    1
  103. The Green types do not like nuclear power generation.
    1
  104.  @LeanAndMean44  DW says our soils are depleted so no heat and food is nothing but empty calories. We are so screwed.
    1
  105. A lot of people around the world in poor countries want their chance to burn fossil fuels and they do not care what you think. You are just a spoiled rich kid to them.
    1
  106. There would be no war at all if Russia didn't invade Ukraine twice.
    1
  107. Remember, The Democrats insisted Trump was a Russian agent. Then it turns out more Democrats had relations with Russians.
    1
  108. More nuclear power plants, start converting over to electrically heated homes.
    1
  109.  @ef888  I suppose Germans are content. Despite the rose of the right wing they complain about.
    1
  110. I just finished shoveling snow. Global warming is not working in my favor.
    1
  111. Sometimes it is not a matter of who is better, it is a matter of who wins.
    1
  112.  IAN G  The United States SHOULD piss off Europe and China. The Europeans need more pissing off. Pay for your damn defense. I do not want more Americans to die for Europe. As for Iran, they have no intention of playing your game, none what so ever. As for the Kurds they have been a policy failure for 2 decades. I'd rather we help the Kurds than the Turks.
    1
  113. Maybe NATO can help Russia find the way to withdraw?
    1
  114. China is having the same problem. There goes your theory.
    1
  115. Somalia has gone through droughts before and will have them again. Before industry you had climate change. The weather and climate is not a static thing.
    1
  116. Russian soldiers will have the high honor of dying for Vladimir Putin.
    1
  117. Where would Mexicans run to if the U.S. didn't get the land? Mexicans should be thankful.
    1
  118. India better never ever upset Russia :)
    1
  119.  @jeremiahjohnson7515  Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, age 24, claimed to be 17, charged with murdering Francisco Javier Cuellar who had kindly taken him in. There is a pretty good chance Ulloa will be convicted since he was covered in Cuellar's blood. By the way, most illegals usually do not introduce themselves to me by saying, Hello, My name is Francisco and I am here illegally.

  120.  @kossammusundire5194  Back when the country was Rhodesia, they didn't need handouts.
    1
  121. This used to be routine when Zimbabwe was Rhodesia.
    1
  122.  @---qu9uf  I was making a joke. NATO has already rejected Ukraine.
    1
  123.  @dannytpartyboy  Russia is a breach of American security. Should the U.S. nuke Russia? Eastern Europe has far more to fear from Russia than Russia has to fear Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union/Russia has had no problem marching into neighboring countries. All for security of course :)
    1
  124. Why does Ukraine have to take orders from Putin?
    1
  125.  @buckblowdownski5306  And NATO shot down some Soviet planes. But that wasn't my question.
    1
  126. The Chinese think they are the center of the universe. Where does that leave everyone else?
    1
  127.  @harryduong5931  Ah, ya nailed me Harry, I get paid by the lie :) All that data is a CIA plot.

  128. Considering NATO turned tail and ran...

  129. You'll be fine after you get the 28th booster shot.
    1
  130. Is the European stuff still made in Europe?
    1
  131. Ennis doesn't realize how dishonest Democrats can be.
    1
  132. Iran's religious leaders shooting protesters about a religiously run government. Not a good look.
    1
  133. American companies may make billions in China but it is difficult to get that money out of China. So effectively there is little benefit to the United States.
    1
  134. These countries who have a problem with "climate change" seem to have no problem enjoying the benefits of industrialization. Why does the west put up with it?
    1
  135. It is not about growth but about values. Here in the U.S. Progressive elites know what we need better than what we do ourselves.
    1
  136.  @greivinhi6868  When we are saying Europe, are we leaving out San Marino? People have a tendency to shorten names and saying America is easier than saying The United States Of America, To get even more messy, The Republic Of The United States Of America. If the rest of the countries in North and South America also had America in their name when people around the world say "Those damn Americans", you would constantly have to ask "Which ones?". I should point out we also have Central America. I do not want to slight anyone.
    1
  137.  @greivinhi6868  America is the name of a continent... well since Colombus's time they were all wondering what to call those land masses. But rest easy, I think we can solve the problem by calling those 2 large land masses: North America and South America. When talking about both at the same time, they are called The Americas. So, the United States is of and located in the Americas.
    1
  138. Old argument. Only one country has America in it's name.
    1
  139.  @henryp5418  I am in the Northeast. It didn't snow last year and it was wonderful. If that is climate change give me more :) Of course it was probably a very sad Christmas for slip and fall lawyers.
    1
  140. A minor detail :)
    1
  141.  @sumanthkumar5354  Russia. They have been one since 1917. More so after 1945.
    1
  142.  @sumanthkumar5354  I was referring to India's thinking and attitudes.
    1
  143.  @sumanthkumar5354  I was referring to India's foreign minister.

  144. From the country that made "give us a discount and we're your friends foreign policy".
    1
  145. Modi wants cheap oil.
    1
  146. You can only run away so far...
    1
  147. Many NATO weapons have been standardized so it would be difficult to tell a NATO weapon from a French military one. They look the same and are built the same.
    1
  148. Germany wanted to tie it's future to Russia.
    1
  149. The power supply is erratic from what I have heard.
    1
  150.  @adamoconnor695  Proxies have been used for ages. Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin felt Ukraine shouldn't exist. Putin is a KGB man, you do not go into the KGB to learn how to be nice.
    1
  151. Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine did not invade Russia. Keep that in mind.
    1
  152. Every day this war goes on, China pays more for it. Russia does the fighting, China does the paying.
    1
  153. 60+ years of independence in chaos, corruption and mismanagement. In 40 years time the U.S. was able to be an industrial power, China did the same and Japan even started from scratch. It's long past the time Africans can blame Europe. Africans have proven themselves incapable of running orderly societies.
    1
  154.  @personalelorenzo6922  Funny, I was just saying in the U.S.
    1
  155. After years of this, even many who had empathy in the U.S. are now saying enough.
    1
  156. Why Europe doesn't intercept these boats and return them back to where they launched. Then take their boats out to sea and sink them. Even in the United States people who tolerated illegals for years are now getting angry and demanding it stop. As for Ursula von der Leyen, she sounds like an elitist than can down on the problem from a very high tower.
    1
  157. Czechoslovakia 1938 all over again.
    1
  158. It is Putin's new master China that is keeping the lights on in Moscow.
    1
  159. California did not want controlled burns. The federal government may defer to local interests as the amount of land the federal government in the west controls can be a real sore spot to several of the states.
    1
  160. Trump has followed democratic processes quite well.
    1
  161. The alternatives were worst :)
    1
  162. RT Is disinformation.
    1
  163. Mexico isn't bothered by trafficking because of all the money sent back to the country from the people in the U.S. that are here illegally.
    1
  164. Same thing in the U.S. They allow 100,000's in illegally, criminals of all kinds come in then the politicians tell us all how wonderful it is. Just a few months ago they got several adults bringing in nice fresh young stuff for pedophiles. Pointless to report it, the same news organizations that tell us all about it are the same ones that support politicians that allow it to happen.
    1
  165. Sounds very paternalistic.
    1
  166. Without the context of world history it's a wasted conversation.
    1
  167. A missile system the U.S. has sent over seems to be about as good as tanks.
    1
  168. Na, not Russia. Russia wouldn't do something like that.
    1
  169.  @ramprasanth3500  India barks, China builds.
    1
  170.  @ramprasanth3500  Allies like Germany and Japan? Your argument is faulty, India's Foreign Minister makes India sound like a hooker. You know, Me love you long time.
    1
  171.  @Anup_sk23  Saudi Arabia is not very popular with many groups in the United States.
    1
  172.  @hpremjit  The sanctions are being phased in.
    1
  173.  @ramprasanth3500  That was a quote about how to conduct war policy in then South Vietnam. Basically there were few good options as S.V.'s leadership was so bad and no matter which option used it would make the U.S. look worse.
    1
  174. Racist? Nothing screams sanitary like Chinese open food markets. Nor would I kiss a girl who just cleaned up a hearty serving of bat soup complete with bat. I'm a little elitist that way.
    1
  175. They want the money (3)... to build vacation homes for the country's top leadership.
    1
  176. Ask me and I'll respond. Stop using any device invented after 1600. See? Simple. If you don't, you are not very sincere.

  177.  @MASC440  Proof please. Not talk, proof.

  178. These right wing protesters look like amateurs compared to what is going in Democrat Party held cities in the United States.

  179.  @zachheisen5022  An asteroid added steroids to the dinosaur event. Supposedly, it was pretty darn warm when TRex roamed the land.
    1
  180.  @MetallicReg  I know you listen to the experts. Right?
    1
  181.  @MetallicReg  You had species loss of 90-95% in the past. In areas of the planet where there has been extended drought you have had buildings reappear as the high water levels drop, either there was severe climate change in the past or the ancients for what ever reason decided to build building and structures underwater for the fun of it.
    1
  182.  @MetallicReg  No speedier than in the past, You had rapid changes in climate. There has been a false assumption climate remains static over millions of years.
    1
  183. "In the United States of all places" The U.S. has a large and growing Chinese population.
    1
  184. I should add Lukoil's Chairman mysteriously fell out of Moscow hospital window. That is one way of reducing retirement package cost.
    1
  185.  @silverleaf80  Lukoil North America. They have a website, There are a few stations where II live.
    1
  186. Other have pointed out Putin's numbers do not add up, it's not just his opinion. Lukoil owns gas stations in the United States so some oil from Russia is allowed in to keep the Lukoil stations in business as these stations are owned by small business people.. Russia just had to sit back, pump gas into a pipeline and collect big checks from Europe. You couldn't ask for easier money. You do not lose that type of business and still do as well. Anyway, Putin controls the numbers and you can be sure he adds them up too :) . I'd like to take the time to thank Russia for making the world safe from Ukrainian apartment buildings. Thanks to the noble Russia army, I can now sleep at night knowing Russia has destroyed them.
    1
  187. This is an issue of dealing with bad taste versus no brains, the latter being your unfortunate situation.
    1
  188. The U.S. has lots of nuclear bombs to drop on Russia. Putin knows this. He is gambling he can scare the west off.
    1
  189. Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine didn't invade Russia.
    1
  190. Think Biden then think Portland
    1
  191. Usually because they have more buildings collapse.
    1
  192. The work on repairing the building was underway when it collapsed.

  193. Covid will burn it's way through the population... then it will end. On it's own.
    1
  194. Soon there will be no difference between the West and China.
    1
  195. Not this American. I think Silicon Valley, California is a danger to freedom.
    1
  196.  @aeye9772  Russia preferred Ukraine too...by taking a chunk of it. What goes on now is Russia trying to get another bite at the apple. Any wonder a Russia leaning president of Ukraine might get an early retirement? Ukraine is a messy situation and probably any "solution" was going to have a poor outcome. But to treat Russia as some sort of victim gets ridiculous.
    1
  197.  @aeye9772  Maybe Ukraine's less than wonderful association with Russia over the centuries didn't create warm fraternal bonds?
    1

  223.  @RuskiVanka  The Soviet Union/Russia has been threatening the use of atomic bombs on the United States for decades :) Putin just did it a few months ago on Ukraine. Peaceful cities? All of Japan was involved in war production. And the Soviet Union had no problems with relentless bombing of Germany into rubble by the U.S. and the U.K. when it served their purpose. Your concern is touching. I'm moved by your humanity.

  224.  @RuskiVanka  Sorry, the Japanese military had little intention of surrendering, it would be a loss of too much face. Some elements were ready to over throw the Emperor if he chose to surrender. The U.S. gave warnings about the bomb. The Japanese didn't answer clearly so the go ahead was given to drop the bomb. Japan itself suggests the lack of clear response was due to a translation error that sent the wrong meaning to the U.S. Truman would have been crucified by the American public if he held back on the use of a weapon that could have ended the war sooner. Yea, I studied history too. You get a lot of mumbo-jumbo mixed in with actual events like saying the Japanese were ready to quit the war... they weren't. The United States had already tested the bombs in the state of New Mexico, and there was knowledge of what the bombs could do. The United States did record the data on the actual effects when the U.S. occupied Japan. It would have been dumb not too.

  227. It's called forcing the Japanese to surrender. The Japanese were warned before hand. Also note Japan's war industry was mixed in with residential areas. By the way, no one asks the people who suffered under Japanese occupation how they feel.

  228.  @matejbludsky8410  Are religious views all that different from political views? I think you should think about this longer. Josef Stalin thought his way of running the Soviet Union was just fine and he killed anyone that disagreed. Following your logic, that is a perfectly fine way of running a country as long as religion wasn't involved. You come from a failed way of thinking... that secular views are just perfect.
    1
  229.  @matejbludsky8410  I didn't get it wrong, I directly quoted the Constitution. People argue religion, politics, economics and everything else. Politics IS beliefs. And that is why there is Congress, a forum to argue about everything. You just can't force religion on others.
    1
  230.  @matejbludsky8410  The wall of separation was a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson to indicate the U.S. government has no official state religion. It is not in the Constitution. This is what the Constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The founders did not exclude religious practice during government business.

  240. Let me translate that for you. In the United States when someone charges another with science denier, it usually indicates the person being charged doesn't agree in part or in whole with the day's hot left wing theory or thinking. Most agree the climate is changing, the issue is the method to control it and what trade offs are reasonable vs too much.

  251.  @rdsc.455  I do not think Putin is looking for peace. He longs for the Russian Empire and he is a KGB man and a egotist. Turkey is acting like a wholesaler and the only reason they get any play at all is because of the lack of communication between Russia and NATO. Putin has to come out this smelling like roses or he has no reason to make peace. He probably see's the rest of Europe as a bunch of weaklings. The best thing Europe has going for itself is Xi Jinping probably sees China as taking the hit for any economic wreckage Russia creates.

  269. At the end of it all, Russia will have nothing but oil to sell. The world is not lining up to buy Ladas. Putin has reduced Russia to a satellite state of China, dependent on Beijing to keep the lights on in Moscow. The Chinese buy oil from Russia, but the Chinese sell everything else to Russia.
    1
  270. Russia has cut itself off from one of it's largest customer base. Basically the lights are kept on in Moscow because of China. Selling energy to Europe was very easy money for Russia. Pump the oil and gas then sit back and collect big checks.

  279. PBS is funded by a lot of nice white middle class Progressives. And NPR... run by a lot of nice middle class Progressive women who like to sit around and giggle that they really are better than anyone else. I confess I was a Progressive many years ago but one thing I can't stand is the lie and distortions machines of the left of which PBS and NPR are part of. I will say I regard NPR worse than PBS and PBS does produce some worthwhile programming. There are very good reasons people do not like either network.
