  1.  @cathaneisdying  as I previously said I have lived in Russia so I'm well aware of the the demographics. You will see people of an non-slavic ethnic background particularly in Moscow and Kazan, but less so in the Urals. There's actually two different words for Russians I can't remember them but one applies to the Slavic Russians Yes both use versions of Cyrillic but they are different. No Ukrainian is not like Polish. I remember prior to 2014 products you bought in Russia had both Russian and Ukrainian languages on them, same with DVD's you had a choice to listen in Russian or Ukrainian. They two different languages.

  5.  @wonderplaceholder  you do know if he's elected he's got a maximum of 4 years? This EU army is going to be a waste of money assuming that it ever starts because you can guarantee Orbán will try to block it.

  6.  @command_unit7792  when was the last time you heard from him? As soon as he started to be critical of the Russian regime they buried him. Also Snowden didn't choose Russia circumstances did

  7. Believe it or not they actually do have elections in North Korea

  8. Russian propaganda Ukraine hasn't invaded anyone unlike Russia

  9. No Russian bots?

  10. You mean countries that fear independence movements in their countries. UN membership is blocked for similar reasons and Russia
    1
  11. And this is what we've being saying for years, the EU parliament has no power.... the EU is run by the EU commission and this is the evidence

  12. Not if Putin keeps destroying it from within

  13. @alfoldmapping5504  the EU who are withholding funds seems to disagree and no just saying it's not as bad as Russia or China doesn't alter anything

  14.  @h0lynut  who are their people?

  15. You seriously think going into a concert venue with automatic weapons is a sophisticated requiring intelligence???
    1
  16. So you're OK with people like Hussein and Assad using chemical weapons on their own people? Wow you're compassionate. Have you ever spent 5 minutes wondering why so many former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries joined NATO?

  17.  @fritsgerms3565  really? Explain why?
    1
  18.  @fritsgerms3565  😄 an MEP needs permission from the EU commission to be allowed to propose new legislation. The EU commission can choose to accept the decision of the Parliament or not. What has sleeze got to do with democracy? Talk about being desperate. So the Tories have a majority? Every MP can vote as they see fit regardless of any party whip. Well if Boris has as you say tried to circumvent parliament, obviously the parliamentary system must be working. Not possible in the EU? So the EU commission isn't ignoring the EU parliament then????

  19.  @fritsgerms3565  I drift off the point? 😄 You claim that the EU parliament is more democratic yet you want to talk about sleaze? MEP's cannot debate legislation unless the commission gives permission how is that democracy? Yet you think that the party whip system is undemocratic. British MP's regualy vote against the party whip, Corbyn was infamous for this. If you bother to study the UK parliament MP's have a free vote more than often than not, none of the votes regarding covid are subject to the whip. MP's are expected to follow pary loyalty but in no way are they forced MEP's were just given one candidate to vote for the EU president and you seriously think the EU is democratic. It operates in a very similar way as the USSR where it comes to democracy

  20.  @fritsgerms3565  are you serious? 😄 Rather than commenting on the dispute between the EU parliament and commission you decided it was an opportunity to have a dig at the UK without no knowledge about the UK parliament or legal system. Oh please explain why the UK does not have sovereignty? Don't worry we have no intention of trying to rejoin and as for Scotland or Northern Ireland you clearly have no idea about the difficulties that would cause for the both of them. Actually we're not the ones all bitter and upset because the UK left the EU, obviously you are. Maybe you support the French Prime Minister who wants to punish the UK for leaving the EU...... and you're seriously suggesting we're the ones with a beef? 😄 Sure we are what ever makes you happy
    1
  21.  @fritsgerms3565  Of course you will not because you can't accept the truth that rather than discussing the video all you could do was to attack the UK....... and you seriously can't understand why we left the EU

  22. One thing at a time

  23. Putin also said that they could disband and go home
    1
  24.  @hgv1947  whatever they call home, they do have them even in Russia
    1
  25.  @hgv1947  not really relavent considering I'm not Russian. You think they'd face reprisals I assume, I think they'd probably find it difficult to reintegrate into a normal life. If Putin has said that they are welcome to return to Russia I doubt many would challenge that after all they've been doing his dirty work for years

  26. Half baked? I don't think so
    1
  27. Putin has no intention of stopping the war he's just using this to pause the war so he can regroup and rearm
    1
  28. Perspective??? We're talking about the reality of the situation
    1
  29. Does he not understand that his problems are caused by his friend Putin? He needs to get behind the plan to defeat him
    1
  30. You're going to have the Putin sycophants claiming this is western propaganda
    1
  31. You have selective hearing
    1
  32. Try Google translate next time

  33. Wanna let Putin rebuild the Soviet Union? No way, appeasement doesn't work
    1
  34.  @jvjd  so tell me how long have you supported a brutal authoritain dictatorship? He has the troops and thanks to the collective west the resources to defeat Putin. Of course Putin’s war isn't costing his people anything? No just the collapse of the economy and currency...... Putin has failed to deliver his promises
    1
  35.  @Himbros  sorry I don't agree by being in the euro you've lost control over the cost of your exports making them uncompetitive.......
    1
  36.  @ChristianIce  OK if we look at pre-pandemic figures government debt at just under 135% I dread to think how much it is now. Just looking at at bond ratings and credit it's all junk. Yeah looks like being in the euro is really paying off
    1
  37.  @ChristianIce  You have no control over your currency, you cannot raise or lower your interest rates to suit the circumstances that your country faces. This lack of control has an effect on your ability to control your economy. Fun actual fact 😄 We are not in the euro, we are not in the EU but we have a stronger economy because we have control over it
    1
  38.  @Himbros  so explain why you're government has so much debt?
    1
  39.  @Himbros  why does Italy have such a poor credit score?
    1
  40.  @ChristianIce  we have political control over our currency as do most countries. Of course it's bad for exports, just look at how China controls its currency to make its exports competitive.... You'll often here governments especially the US complain about this, so you don't know as much as you think. Being in the euro and the EU doesn't appear to have been benefit at all.

  41.  @2hotflavored666  the EU is essentially a dictatorship
    1
  42.  @2hotflavored666  When an unelected bureaucracy decides what legislation can be discussed and can ignore the results from the elected Parliament... that's a dictatorship. There's no comparison to the UN, the EU sanctions it's members if they don't follow their rules
    1
  43.  @zedero8  Really? Because your fellow idiots claim actually the governments of EU member states who nominate the candidate, maybe you need to educate them? 😂 The EU parliament was given just one candidate to vote on and you're claiming that's democratic? The only ignorant person here is yourself if you seriously think the EU parliament has any power over EU policy. The hate here is one way and it's coming from the direction of the EU, French Prime Minister says the UK should be punish for leaving the EU..... these are the kind of people who you are supporting so don't bother with your childish insults and then accuse me of hate

  44.  @kran5627  actually no, you need to understand how poverty is measured

  45.  @austinchoy7677  worth it?

  46.  @Gary-bz1rf  more to it than that

  47. Yes they've cut back on the number of missiles for example, as for Putin there's evidence him health has deteriorated just take a look at him

  48.  @festekj  what videos? I've seen videos of people who are from Donbass with weapons that look like they're WWI. I saw a video of Medvedev touring a tank factory complaining about the slow production, both the SU-57 and the T-14 tank just simply haven't gone into production because Russia lacks the resources. They're currently sending tanks from the 60's to Ukraine such is shortage. Russian arms industry suffers from the same corruption problems as the rest of the country

  49.  @attilamarics3374  I'm sure you wish I was but bad news for you the evidence is overwhelming that I'm not

  50.  @festekj  oh let me guess, CIA, MI6 or Mossad? My account is far older than 2014 so at least try to keep it realistic
