I would like to see this excrescence somehow sold off to benefit Ukraine, and especially survivors of injuries during the war. I look forward to a change in government in Russia which might make it possible. In a future Russia which has made peace with Ukraine and is paying reparations, it should be a resort where Ukrainian veterans can vacation at no charge.

Correct. The video "The Bomb That Ended a War" (meaning the Gulf War in Kuwait) details an American bunker buster that was able to destroy reinforced concrete bunkers 50 feet underground. And that was 32 years ago.

Elon Musk lives in a small house near the SpaceX site in Boca Chica which cost $45k. He often stays over at the houses of friends, usually that of a co-founder of PayPal in Austin. (Its owner paid $18m for it.) He has reportedly been looking around for a place somewhere near Austin for a year or two.

@Nauda999 Your reply tells us more about the nature of your personality and imagination (both of which may well be very respectable) than anything else. I'll just toss in this about banks and debt: A very large bank with $2trn in debt on its loan book isn't worth $2trn. More likely 5-10% of that. You could buy it for $100-200bn, since it is valued on its profits, not its assets. Banks don't merely lend out deposits; mostly they create the money they lend. Few people know this. Most believe central banks create money, which is false except now and then. A customer 'borrows' money at the instant a bank creates it out of thin air. They largely don't subtract it from anyone's deposits in any sense; mostly they just write a line in the ledger depositing the sum in the borrower's account. Presto!, as magicians say. And this about who owns banks: for the most part institutions like pension funds and mutual funds ("groups"). But also many individual shareholders, rich and not rich. And this about who owns government debt: besides banks, the same institutional funds, plus foreign govts in a form of cross-ownership intended to bolster stability. But yes, ultimately the wealthy for the most part. And yes, the richest 1%, let's say—i.e. 80m people—own half of everything, it would appear. I'm not against the Fermi estimates of highly-knowledgable brilliant people. Actually they interest me intensely; incompetent guesswork doesn't. Don't trust me though, nor any sole other party particularly. Determining the facts on these matters for the most part is the work of a lifetime. (That one thing, and no other, you can indeed trust me on.) Please excuse the length of my reply.

It's not so different from their other video on who will replace Putin. This outfit is staffed by woke oinkers.

@goemon9378 I happen to find it ridiculous myself, but not scary. The reason is that support for this specific point of view is low. She has zero prospect of becoming the nominee. About the same as a "Squad" member has on the other side of things. Moreover there is no buzz about her running for president. So pointing to her in this report was probably a little frivolous. There was, however, real condescension towards DeSantis. Dwelling on hand gestures is an example, since the limited repertory of them available to people entails a high possibility of overlap. A bit cheap perhaps even for a partisan, but certainly for a journalist.

@docb825 Ok, Mr. Peskov.

@elzbane4588 You can't argue with someone who just wants to seize the wealth of the rich. Invariably they think wealth is stolen, not created or earned. Whether they know it or not, they are parroting the theory of Karl Marx—a man, by the way, who never worked. He lived his whole adult life off the money of his fox-hunting friend Engels, whose family were extremely rich capitalists that owned large textile factories in England and Germany.

@J.M.254 Don't be so impatient. No one is stopping you from crossing the River Styx.

Is the full version available anywhere yet?

Don't be absurd. If possible.🤨

The feudalist mindset came through not only the czarist period but also the Soviet era quite intact. Russia is the great bastion of feudalism. Yep, politically and societally they never made it fully out of the medieval era. They wish to be ruled by a ruthless despot and are disgusted by every other conceivable sort of arrangement.

@Carlito_Brigante93 Then enjoy that if it's so important to you. Channel the morality of the father of your country, Genghis Khan, for another thousand years. But expect to be opposed if you keep alive his lust for conquering smaller, weaker nations.

It's vulgar.

You're on an internet social media platform, making an outlandish claim meant to discredit Putin's rival, so I totally believe you!😂

Untrustworthy numbers. Here are two figures off by 1,000x: It is claimed here that Greece produces a billion tonnes (!) of tomatoes annually. It is actually a million tonnes. Same problem with the claim that it grows 500 million tonnes of watermelons. Correct figure: 0.5 million tonnes. You guys don't know how to handle zeroes, so you should learn how—and in the meantime steer clear of large numbers. (And there were additional problems I can't be bothered detailing.) You should definitely have someone supervising your youngest staffers.

What are you on about? They went as far as they could in trying to slime him.

@sapalobo9723 Have some yourself. Your guy is already embalmed.

It's not a legitimate news outlet. It's some kind of front.
