Kazahkstan is not a pariah either but noone cares for it.
If you're not a pariah to china, then you're a pariah, IMO

Looks like the putin are looking for a proud surrender victory - they say now that they will waddle back from Kiev to show good faith - minor problem is of course they are being beaten by the ukrainians there.
On another note, the "ukrainian clown" made a speech to the danish parliament today - one thing is mentioning companies leaving russia, but he also asked if we would use a dansih tradition of setting candle lights in the windows (one that started on the liberation day of WWII) for the Ukranians - well, maybe it's better to have an intelligent clown as president compared to have a kgb clown as a such
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Obviously I was wrong. Ukraine has done an amazing job defending and Russia has done a poor job attacking.

Putin must have shot too many messengers. It appears his own generals are afraid to tell him bad news.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Looks like the rouble's back. But not out of his own strength, only after massive intervention.
Now Russia wants to get foreign customers (esp. EU) to pay stuff in rouble. Which was already declined.
That could mean gas/oil flows to Western Europe will be restricted or even stopped by Russia, should they follow through on their demands.
Which mean they'd also lose the income generated by this, though I often read currently it cannot be used anyway due to banking sanctions.
Dunno really if that is correct, I understand banking sanctions vs. Russia as "partial" or "targetted" only so far, not all-encompassing.

For every measure, a counter measure. Eventually, then a counter counter measure and so on.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

That's what the Kremlin and most Russian media claimed at first....Originally posted by Buster Crabbe's Uncle View Post
The Russian media that didn't claim that were quickly shut down by authorities for "spreading fake news"I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!

It appears these conscripts are trained for a couple of months and are then considered "professional" and sent anywhere.Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!
