  1.  @steveot  couldn't. You need to master negative forms or you risk saying the opposite of what you mean like Mr pootin.

  2. The problem is, however, hardly typical.

  3. He must be bought. Russia is using its military to conquer a sovereign European state. The situation is extremely dangerous. Does he want Putin to conquer more European countries?

  4. It is a democracy. The parties represent different interests in us society. And bad presidents are removable peacefully.

  5. If China backs the idea of spheres of influence, we should be very concerned. It is not supposed to, as a, signatory to the UN Charter.

  6.  @BC_26fhj  it was about insulating tax havens. Rees Mogg moved his business to Dublin, and Lawson applied for French citizenship. Time to smell the coffee.

  7. Of course! Scrutiny is vital, and anyone who avoids it should be treated with great suspicion. Let's see if Sunak let's Neill interview him, because Johnson and Truss didn't.

  8. Without a modern state form, there is no hope for it.

  9. Russia has done its economy and modernisation fatal harm. It will take decades to recover.

  10. ​ @samtheresearcher Napoleon defeated Russia quite a few times actually. Austerlitz, Friedland etc.

  11.  @kartikeyatiwari2502  it isn't though. Russia is vulnerable because its economy can't support its military for a long time. This mismatch will show eventually, as it did in ww1 and the crimea war. There is a reason countries with larger economies have smaller armies. They understand economics.

  12. We live in a multipolar world already. The EU has a GDP of 20 tr. dollars, for instance. You like to talk about vassals, but in reality we have partners.

  13. ​ @zimoliu9714 the problem is that you are talking about the 19. Century. We actually bought most of it. If you want real land grab, check 19. Century Russia. The difference is, we stopped.

  14. If we are all vassal states, what was East Germany's relationship to the USSR?

  15.  @moiseshuerta3984  the lives are unimportant. Even the russian leaders don't care about them. But there were: 419,000 trucks and jeeps 13,000 aircraft (total luftwaffe strength 3,000) 8,000 tanks 90% of rail network 60% of rail carriages 190 billion dollars. Stalin said that without lendlease he would have lost. But you know better.

  16. They are actually useless weapons because you can't use them without dying yourself.

  17. I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to ever visit the US. I'd love to visit Canada someday though. Lovely people.

  18. For the betterment of humankind😂😂😂

  19. Is it possible to be a nationalist and a socialist?

  20. She's a social nationalist.

  21. ​ @Lucas-wn5wm is that why russia attacked Georgia and Ukraine?
    2
  22. No.
    2
  23. ​ @USMCvet-z2q he used to be a democrat
    2
  24. He has 1.4 million internal security employees and his own private police force to help him, at the cost of 10% of the national budget, complete with tanks.

  25. ​ @ruyaal what is your rype of freedom?

  26. Not a sycophant like Moscow Marco and Apartheid Elon.

  27. Funny how absolutist channels are full of fascists.

  28. He is a nostalgic socialist, and instinctively anti-american although the US guarentees his country's security militarily. He, like many of his kind, doesn't want to accept that Putin is nothing like a socialist.

  29.  @fresh6993  nobody is releasing casualty figures. The russian casualty figures are estimated to be around 20,000 killed, based on officer deaths. Ukraine will have suffered significant casualties due to the nature of the warfare, but as the defender its losses should be fewer due to its forces being less exposed. 15,000 dead wouldn't be a bad guess.

  30.  @tomtom34b  they can't make french fries😂

  31.  Moni Penny  you weren't listening. But the tsunami is coming.

  32. They don't glide.

  33. Absolutely. But we've got Olaf Scholz snd Jake Sullivan, the most cowardly men in the western world.

  34. ​ @Memovox are you saying that Finland was forced to join the EU and NATO, and Britain was forced to leave?
    2
  35. Not the real Macedonia, not Alexanders, his spirit was Greek, European. And yours isn't.
    2
  36. Germany has learnt very well. Unfortunately, Russia hasn't.
    2
  37.  @emmy5661  if Russia is so reasonable, why doesn't it respect the wishes of Ukraine not to be in its empire, and why were it's satellites so happy not to be part of the Soviet Union anymore?
    2
  38. ​ @PerceivedREALITY999 maths isn't your strength
    2
  39. Turkiye is rather worried about Russia.
    2
  40. Orban needs to go. He's a security risk for Europe. He obviously doesn't agree with what the EU stands for.

  41. ​ @jumpinggoldagatito9153 too old, living in the past.
    2
  42. ​ @markojuric4954 more pressure on the Russian economy then.
    2
  43. ​ @JG-xi4tu the other side doesn't have that. That's the issue.

  44. If she defends our democratic values like Victoria did, we will be well served.
    2
  45. ​ @jon7243 there was no bargain. They signed an agreement which underlined the rights of nations to join whichever international organisation they wanted to. Poo tin is telling little lies again.
    2
  46. They are not the same. One is a young democracy looking for our aid, the other a former imperial power in search of an imperial identity.

  47. We're not on a leash. I went to a nice cafe at lunch, and I'm looking forward to a nice holiday in Austria next month. Enjoy the thaw.

  48. Well put.

  49.  @josephezimora8995  why?
    2
  50. Poland won't. They know what it means to be Russia's neighbour. NATO is a godsend for them.
