  1. Will the American troops currently occupying the Syrian oil fields be helping ISIS again this time?

  2. @TheLoyalOfficer I see nothing pf which Scotland needs be ashamed, regarding Lockerbie. You seek to shift blame and cast aspersions without evidence. Shame on you!

  3. Oh no; more of them stuck up there; it's getting rather crowded now... looks like the Russians got there first.

  4. Not sure what you want from him. You must be a CEO since you seem to want to talk about money at a time like this?! Have you no respect? It's not Goh Choon Phong's fault the man died and others were seriously injured; but it is his responsibility, and he speaks for Singapore Airlines "We are deeply saddened" he said (so AFP got that wrong). He didn't delegate this matter to some spokesperson; Singapore Airlines safety record speaks for itself; so who are you to question his honour, or integrity?

  5.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  Yeah!... treat yourself to a book on history, instead of trying to re-write it; there's enough rubbish being talked.

  6.  @UNIVERSAL-UR  It was "big business" that backed the Third Reich; it's "big business" backing both main American political parties and that's the short road to fascism. I lived and worked in USSR during it's break-up; so I know Ukraine got a good deal; later they agreed with Russia to be neutral; the alternative to that was always war with Russia. It's not necessary to tell me that the media (here) present a very distorted picture of: Russia; China and even my governments competence, but little mistakes soon add up and I'm no longer prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to those selling hatred, or distributing misinformation for material gain. So first of all; this is not "a peace summit", it's about money; secondly: those talking about millions and billions might as well be talking in a foreign language to the majority of people here; so while it's not my business (or theirs really) if Ukraine capitulates all the: "aid"; investment and loans; they're all gone; so are all the private corporations assets there. It was never about money for Russia; they want separation between them and NATO; they and the EU farmers don't want a corporate takeover of agriculture; while controlling the EU gas supply (and eliminating competition) should really have angered Russia and Germany more than it did (I suppose); but again that's their business and not mine. This conflict isn't about Putin; this is Russia, it's not backed by corporations (more the other way around); this is a socialist country, it's not even a communist country and since Moscow is 2nd or 3rd biggest city in Europe, it can't be that bad and they're not interested in what Western corporations want; they are ideologically opposed to you and and others in the far-right (I wonder if you really understand the symbolism you display?). This bunch are on the wrong side of history (imo) and should stop wasting public money.

  7. ​ @UNIVERSAL-UR  My original statement was mainly aimed at the O.P. and "ideological confusion" (or trolling); also criticism of "our" pro-war media and their attempts to draw other countries (like China and Germany) into a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, by (basically) making a lot of things up and preaching hatred. So while I do agree with your initial statement "Zelenskyy is there" (instead of Hitler?!); I hope you understand that by saying this (while "flying under the colors" of A3OB) it makes you look like a bit of a fascist sympathizer. In my view: it's extremely dangerous to even use Germany and Russia in the same sentence, at this time (they've got a long "history"); this event isn't any kind of "peace negotiation" (I would limit that to the two protagonists and a neutral "arbiter", if one could be found that's acceptable to both and eject outside interests; then I'd lock the door); it's no longer amusing (to me) these mistakes "our" media often makes, on unrelated matters I already view some outlets (no names) as: cold; cynical and calculating entities. I was employed to resolve conflict situations, in USSR, where it seemed everyone had guns except me and my Yugoslav partner; if the talking stops and violence begins, I've lost! It still makes me laugh thinking of the time I walked into a room to find six guys kicking someone on the floor; I shouted, STOP! ... and to my amazement they all stopped and looked at me... That's when I found out the Russian word for stop is stop (that might come in handy sometime); later, that they were the KGB (moonlighting as security officers). So I suppose it depends how one looks at things; there's a place in Moscow called VDNK it might be viewed as an ideological advert (propaganda), but I view it as a utopian vision. Let me leave you with that (to decide), but we should not be distracted; for the Western interests it's about money; for Russia, breaking agreements somebody has to pay (it's war). My apologies if you got caught in the crossfire; but unless there's a vested interest, it's unwise to tangle with the Russian government (any doubt about that, just ask the Chechen). Currently I'm very frustrated with my government; their media PR department and in particular their "sponsors", but that's my business; you have a nice day! I mentioned the war once... but I think I got away with it. (B Faulty) It's up to Ukraine and Russia to sort this out (it's time for the outside interests to play games elsewhere, imo).

  8. No; it's really a "charity benefit", discussing easy repayment terms, so that corporate interests get something since the assets they acquired in Ukraine are virtually worthless. Definitely not a peace summit; so it casts doubt on Swiss neutrality; a tax-payer funded "jolly" for some; for others a chance to visit (our) their money, so I think the joke's on us.
