  1.  @DSan-kl2yc  .... In an alternative universe.... There I fixed it for you. It is difficult to agree on a narrative when looking at different sets of facts...

  2. Sadly this war has been going on for eight years... Yes we certianly need the foodstuffs from the Ukraine and from russia or a lot of people will die.

  3. ​ @ricardosoto5512  On the flip side... Those who accept weird popular conspiracies are maybe too satiated in things that really matter in their own lives to pay attention to the world around them. From responding to this kind of scollarly weirdo, I am sure that you will forget this disussion and not revisit this in two months time...

  4.  @eddiebravo5593  What I seem to think is if the shanghai coop agreement group, which includes russia, china, iran, india... can join with other economic engines, some of which have had their assets in dollars and oil stollen by the US... Can they become a hedge against US hegimony? Sure china can mostly function all by it's self but it also has a world wide belt and road initiatives where they are making ports and rail lines all around the world.... This is what the real threat to the US is... The US's modle is economic liberalism, meaning they want to be able to own everything and charge what they want... People keeping their capital in house, not charging exhorpentent rents on it is a real threat to that model.

  5. ​ @eddiebravo5593  We have a huge advantage when the world runs on dollars and we can print dollars... How ever far away, industrial powerhouses are even more of a threat today to feudalistic economies as they were two hundred years ago when Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations.

  6.  @sebastianwrites  That it was a putin installed goverment isn't an impression that I got... If it was a putin installed goverment, it was a soft coup and not the unconstitutional coup that the west employed.... My information comes from the documentary in '18 "Ukraine Burning" which I believe is now censored in many places but I belive it is still available where I sit. Yes loads of people are dying in Ukraine and most are Ukrainian GIs killed by orcs. Those Orcs will have to collect, identify and transport all those dead conscripts.... So the orcs didn't raally win the war... One of the off-ramp speculations are that there will be marketing that putin is so unstable that it would be dangerous to embarrass him. It's all bad...

  7.  @juliuszkocinski7478  I can throw out a speculation... Ukaine had about 200 civillians trapped at the steel plant as well as many GIs marked with swasticas... The GIs wern't really doing anythning effective other than saying that Mariopol was constested and in theory if the russians blew up the plat they would give it as an example of where the russians killed civillians. It was a strategy during world war two that germans wouldn't retreat and would be anialated holding ground... My thory is that they blew up the bridge so that they could hold GIs in the area on the other side of the river. Some claim the russians have between 10 and 20 times more alterlery than the Ukrainians.

  8.  @thevan4476  I is not clear that china will take the west's approach.. If china wants to remain competitive in the world labor markets they need to keep the vulture capitol at bay and keep the rents low. If the chinese take a nationalized restructuring approach they that will raise huge alarm bells in the west.

  9. It seems as if the EU is paying more for sanctions than anyone can imagine.

  10. The only goal of the US is to have a stable war... They have had false flags before for chemical weopons in Syria, WMD in Iraq as well as some questionable claims in the case of a province outside of Kiev... Germans are nothing but sock puppits to the US... My understanding is that they have no expectaion of freedom of speech that we have here... And freedom of speech is beaing challenged here as well.

  11. @Olaf Sigurson Acording to former marine officer and WMD inspector and wistle blower, scott ritter, sanctions agaisnt russian grain and fertilizer WILL, not might, cause millions of starvation deaths next year. Ritter has been keeping up with the ukrane issue for personal interest..

  13.  @kaltenburg2637  We also have video of a lot of russian tanks being blown up.... Most are videos of Nato tanks.... We also have video of bodies in Bucha, north of Kiev... The bodies were killed by Ukraine. Speculation is that they were suspected of colabarating with the russians. Good luck with the MSM narrative... I wounder why anyone believe it anymore.

  15.  @briancollum1060  Indeed there is no jusification for targeting hospitals, schools, residential blocks uless you have an occupation that is dug in to those residential areas... The russians did some shelling of the positions of the nationalist partisans and brought in the Chechins to do the mop up in Maripol... Reports are that the nationalists were keeping civillians in those areas and not letting them leave... Vidoes of the nationalists killing 'colaborators' and russian POWs as well.

  16.  @leachimy24  POWs who are russian often get killed... Those who are partisans [Ukraine nationalsts] get through a russian POW intake process... Civillians often get targeted dirrectly by Ukraine light arms and shelling.... Lie dead in the streets...

  18. ​ @JMAssainatorz  I tend to think everything the west puts out is a lie... .... If you do a deep dive into any news story it is almost certainly a lie... I got real tired of it for five years when the media said 'putin installed trump' again and agan and again... Now in the US we have a new minstry of truth [literally a cabenet level department] that is throtleing journalism and the US has been trying to extradight Julian Assange for years to face prison for the rest of his life for revieling the truth..

  19.  @JMAssainatorz  In the future I feel as if I will not have access to other news sources.... I will be feeling that everything on the news is lies and I won't have any access to anything true.

  20.  @The.Curious  I dispute that Zeleinski is in charge of the millatary and his country. My impression is that the ultra nationalists and the US are asserting control... Just as the US has control over the EU and nato. It is arguable that the crushing economic sanctions to isolate the europeans will cause political instabillty there by winter

  21. These lies are more about US domestic issues and supporting millatary contractors than it is about russain behavior or creating a hot war. The real reason for the US reporting on this is to distract from the democrat's inevatlbe loss in '22 and '24 because the democrats won't fullfill any of their campaign promises.. Their campaign promises are where they could save the western world and they are maknig all kinds of excuses not to.

  22. Please send us money for the US made weopons... Send it in dollars...

  23. Perhaps more russians lost their lives than Ukrainian nationalists. Lets hope this nonsense ends soon.

  24. Again... Just as the mines that are discuraging ships from leaving Odesa were laid by the Ukrainians, so too the bridge from Sievierdonetsk was destroyed by Ukraine... Both actions by the Ukraine goverment were blamed on russia. DW news is like reading Riplies beleve it or not by the way they are telling fantastic lies.

  25. I suppose if it was the US that attacked Ukraine, Kiev would have been leveled by now like bagdad.

  26.  @elbibwen3019  I suggest Garland Nixon... He has a more commedic way of explaining... He also has Ritter on at least once a week.

  27.  @bg1616  Ukraine had a choice to do whatever the USA and Nato wanted... By coup... Until russia stopped them... Imagine if China was digging in in Vancover BC Canida, killing US citizens? Yes they coud do that until the US stopped them.

  28. They will pay us back for the US made weopons in dollars that we sent to keep Germany free.

  29. @Herman Lutzer Would you please pay us back in the US for the US weapons and aid to Ukraine we are sending after the conflict is over? in US dollars of course.

  30.  @uilnosaj  That is why it is so sad to see so many of them die.

  31. He is a hack... .Russia withdraw from Kiev, Ukraine nationalists kill suspected russian colaborators there and blame Russia.... It is possilbe that the russians are giving proposals during a supplying opperation in preporation for an offincive in the russian eastern part of Ukraine.

  32.  @headoverheels88  I think they are dupes... The US cut off the EU's oil and gas, stopped them from doing buisiness with russia and china.... Iran, Venezula, Cuba.... When you steal peopel's dollars they won't what to do buisiness in your banks and with your currency.... That is a direct action against dollar hegimony done directly by the US. The only bright side is that they will be employing mechanical desigenrs for defence contractors..... I gonna get me one of them postions.... Manufacturing has been shrinking in the US and western europe.... At $50/hr and it is not as if you have to be part of the disinformation industry making war.

  33. Only by listening to russian disinformation can you tell that russia won both the economic war and the ground war.. Russian disinformation comes from many sources. Here in the states we have independent journalists who do their best to get the story right. We also have the ministry of truth who can't imagine anyone having an opinion that someone didn't pay for. The idea is that everyone's opinion is based on who gave them money to believe it.... If you have an opinion that varies from the main stream media narrative then someone paid you to believe that.

  34. Russians are reporting that the lefovers with no food, water or weopons are under orders to shoot anyone who surrenders... Very charming.

  35. Yes.... President Biden held a press conference with Shultz that if russia invaded ukraine, nord stream two was toast... When asked by a reporter how he proposed to do such a thing, he said "Believe me we will get it done" He was directly threatening German's essential infrastructure in the presence of the german PM and the PM just sat their and took it... Then when there was protests in germany against shutting down the pipelines... The pipelines spontaneously exploded.... Blinkin then said it was a tremendous opportunity for the US.

  36.  @grahambaker6664  You seem to understand some nuances about the protests in Germany as well as the problems associated with the Siemens pumps... Although the story out of russia was that the pumps needed servicing... R U german? I am firm in mine and perhaps your belief that the Hegemone was responsible for the destruction of the pipelines. They did threaten and celebrate the destruction of the pipelines... If so that is a war chime against major infrastructure... I can't see how this ends well.

  37.  @grahambaker6664  Interesting... U got the word on the ground with the protests and Siemens techs.... 'Warping young minds at warp speed... About the bubbling in the baltic. There ain't no investigation or the findings are the state secrets of the danes, sveds and.... 'Cause the godfather said so... I feel like it is unlikely that our suspicions aren't true... I think the suspect is guilty or the researchers would publish their findings.

  39. And what is the density and stability of such mountains? We are to believe that chinese growth is built on asset price inflation as if there is no other way.

  40.  @evamasters5028  What is a russian bot? In the US it was someone who didn't beleive that trump was insalled by putin.
    1
  41.  @evamasters5028  I am a proud russian bot who changed my FB profile picure to a literal russian bot two years ago when everyone insisted that putin installed trump... Again, after fighting russian disinformation about the war in Ukraine for months the US media has to give way to the fact that russia is winning all of their millatary objectives and that the forever war that the US wanted will come to an end by next year.. As well as being a russian bot, I am a mechanical designer in the US. I stand to profit from the increase in spending on millatary hardware in the US because of all the weapons we sent to get ground up... Sorry about all the Ukrainians....

  42. European politicians gladly sanclin themseleves to keep the US happy... Anything like an economy in europe will cease to exist next winter because they want to service US and european vendors...

  43.  @Kmdr_Robotnik  Best comment EVER! Too funny... What is REALLY happening is Siemens, a german company that services the gas pumps has not found a way to work around the sanctions and get the pumps working again. . Let us hope that europe don't face crisis of such a magnitude and recovers from the santions, neoliberal order and new cold war soon.

  44. Germany is determined to make the world safe for banking and other interests that are supported by US policy.... To the distadvantage of germans.

  45. The past couple of years have been a big eduction in double speak for me.... As ubiquitous as the west's narrative is, the US doesn't seem to have great narrative control.... My impression is that the people of the US mostly don't believe them any more. We had years of going to war for humanitarian purposes, other international actions based on questionable evidence.... 'Trump was instaled by putin'... Now we have a department in the goverment that is commonly reffered to as 'the ministry of truth'...

  46. Good catch.

  47.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  Is it true that the report by Seymour Hersh that Biden, along with a team of four including Victoria Nuland, blew up the Nord Stream piplines has not been covered in the German press?

  48.  @jesusaguilar4585  Yes... The draftees in Kirsk weren't alowed to be in direct combat or a combat zone... It was a huge failure of Russian intelegence that they were caught in the middle. It is notable that a bunch of mechanics and cook enlisted held back the onslaught in Kirsk for a short time.
    1
  49.  @jesusaguilar4585  I feel like it was a massive intelegence failure on the part of Russia. The kids were taken as POWS to Ukraine, they wern't supposed to be on any part of a hot zone, my undestanding is that some of them died. Many who were captured have nasty injuries and are not happy at all.

  50.  @bobhabib7662  I tend to think china will follow through with their industrial capitolist agenda. That means that they need to keep down the cost of, among other things, housing.
