@Mazda_Europe This is the official Mazda website in Russia listing 0km cars, with VIN numbers, inside Mazda showrooms, in Russia.
Yet Mazda is unsure "if" Mazda cars are available in Russia?

i know that you are two unserious idiots but let me put some points out for you morons...
1. the US made a deal with ukraine to give up weapons and equipment to the US and russia in the 1990s. we took thousands of weapons and some nukes to study..

2. by not standing behind our promises many nations will get nukes now, and no one will ever give them up.

3. the gear we are sending to ukraine is our old rusty gear that we will never use again and have to pay to scrap.

4. on avrage for every 1 billion in old shit we send to ukraine we get about 15 billion in new contracts from ukraine and europe. now that we have stopped europe is now halting purchases of US gear... this will cost us over 1.5 trillion going forward. and the "money" that we are sending, its not real money... again its the value of old shit we have rusting in the desert IF we were to replace it with new crap.. we are not. so its fake numbers...

5. europe is going to ask us to leave europe, this will mean we have no way to fly to the mid east or africa with fully loaded aircraft. we will no longer be able to project power. and no longer be a world superpower.

6. europe and canada will halt purchasing our gear, right now canada and europe are in talks with south korea to build plants to replace all the US gear that we thought we would sell them.. thats about 1 million US jobs lost.

7. europe is about to stop selling us weapons and prohibit the US from selling or transferring many of our weapons.. items with MAJOR overseas parts are...
M1 abrams (german and belguim guns)
M2 bradley (Japanese and belguim parts)
M10 booker (spanish made)
stryker (canadian made)
new marine vehicle (italian)
every US machine gun (belguim and german)
and the F35 (35% made in canada and europe)
every artillery system (british)
light anti tank systems (sweedish)
and on and on....

8. and by the way ukraine has earned our support dumb asses.. they lost over 20 guys KIA, and 200+ WIA in Afghanistan , and iraq fighting under the US flag. ukraine was one of the FIRST countries to join the attack on afg. we used them as trainers for the US special forces early on to teach us about warfare there.. they supported us, they helped us, they died for us.. so please just stop.

the fact is that the US has not made a 100% US weapon in nearly 60 years... and building new 100% us systems will cost over 1 trillion. new plants, new IP, new workers.. would take 20-30 years to do...

but hey yea lets not send our old gear and have to pay for it... that would save MAYB 10 billion..... and lose over 1.5 trillion... and our standing as a world super power. but what ever, again you guys are not serious.

if you think fighting china will be hard, try it without NATO and asia.. thats where we are heading

Fucking NPCs.
Nothing to say to legitimate questions, so they do a dodging competition like pros and repeat stupid ass bullshit we all heard millions times that answers nothing.

Ukraine is not mentioned in Trump-Putin talks.

This man (I don't know who he is) asks wise questions.

‘Stunningly Ignorant’ Elon Musk Blasted for Latest Ukraine Tweet

"Putin's squad" has a whole plan for "saving North America from fascism" - they suggest:

◾️giving Alaska back to Russia,
◾️Russia establising military relations with Mexico,
◾️blocking Canada's access to the Arctic Ocean.

Then they will sleep well, the squad promises.

Discussed with PM of the Netherlands @MinPres further cooperation as for defense of our territory, especially in the sky, and rebuilding Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Supported the continuation of the grain deal. I also count on the support of our initiatives at the UN by 🇳🇱.

Your website listed this flight as cancelled (see pic) I went ahead and booked another flight with you. Now your CSR says that this flight is not cancelled but rescheduled. I have double tickets for my family and CSR does not want to process refund for either ticket.
