"I'm surprised he's still here" (ie, "waaaaah! mommy do SOMETHiNG!" right?)

The problem is, you hypocritical braindead knuckle dragger:

1) You've engaged in the same flame throwing behavior you run to the hall monitors to cry about. Are you going to deny that?

2) You openly support the posters who go on psycho anti-Russian rants, and are silent about them "derailing" the thread.

I contribute a point of view you loath and literally pains you. Too fucking bad. No one needs approval from you or any of your fellow fragile snowflakes.

You contribute reposts of other site's material embellished by frequent and demonstrable misinformation.

In your absence someone else would do the same, minus the inaccurate boasts from your "sources".

You may have the nieve believing a low ranking junior officer army grunt has some special hotline to Ukraine's front lines but of course we both know that's nonsense. You have no special connections, stop the cap. Just post if you must but spare us the embellishment.

I've been here a lot longer than you, and know what is and isn't acceptable.

Weaklings with thin skin and the fortitude of a bald chihuahua like you are the type that don't last.

Yeah, again didnt even read it past the first three sentences. I did read the last two, though. I had an old account from ~2011, when I got out and had some time.

Not sure why you bother even writing responses. Not sure why I do. People like you who risked nothing in life yet have a crazy strong opinion are funny to me.

You strike me as the fat guy who lays in the street bleeding out with a hole in his chest with big ideas in his head. How admirably liberal.

Again, you contribute nothing and only react. Maybe when your two butt buddies message you, you can figure out how to post media and meander your way into a Russian telegram and post something that isn't purely reactive trash.

It is true, any ‘opposing’ view they want to silence. That is the definition of a liberal person, which Whiskey seems to resemble.

He believes he is a soldier (which 50-50 could be stolen valour), but he is acting a bit like those fat persons identifying as lesbian (even though he has a small penis), crying at the thought of Elon Musk buying twitter.

If you really are American then you should believe in freedom of speech. Otherwise you are not better then the people from the countless savage countries that your nation invaded

I don't wish to silence opposing viewpoints. If thats what you believe, that's what you believe. It's the manner of which I find stupid. I've got nothing to prove.

As for stolen valor, sorry you have that viewpoint. Interesting coming from someone who likely has risked nothing, clearly from your comments.

By the way, Elon Musk buying Twitter is awesome. I love it. Best thing to happen to social media ever. Sorry to bust your strawman argument. I'm more conservative than you, your family, your dog, your weirdo survivalist friend, and your butt-buddy airsoft dudes combined. I make my own lower receivers, and ammunition. Just stop right there.

It’s a fact that western sanctions are firing back pretty bad, especially for EU countries obviously. Crazy inflation levels etc. Plus counter sanctions from Russia and w/e they do with their economy internally.
Financial times projectile Russian surplus around 200-300 billions this year. Biden said rubble will be 200rub per USD, yet it at its lowest since like what 2020? This picture does not say that Russia is doing great, but the fact is rubble got stronger at least for now and EU currencies dropped their value.

America is happy with a weak EU or euro because they get richer

Yeah the world is upside down, with left people against free speech and pro governmental enforcement of rules whereas the people who were politically right wing are now pro free speech and less governmental influence.
