@BrianMcDonaldIE Well. Fan-id became so good for Russia so they prolonged the validity for the hole of 2018.
They did it to be able to organize a tournament that would give foreigners a positive picture of Russia, wich they accompliced
@CatxyzCat@RealCandaceO It was not just catholic churces used for storage.
Church of the savior on bloodw in st Petersburg were used as storage for artillery granades wich ia an Ortodox church. Religion was not accepted at all in the USSR
🇸🇪🇺🇦 It's necessary that as many men as possible stay in Ukraine and fight. We need to win the war,
– Swedish Migration Minister Forsell
The EU plans to pass a bill returning all Ukrainian men fit for military service (18-60yrs) back to Ukraine. Truly till the last Ukrainian.
That aside, this is against the UN asylum policy which allows temporary stay to civilians fleeing a conflict. I feel sorry for all the men forced to die against their will for the elites in Brussels.
NATO's fight to the last Ukrainian...
Political leaders in NATO countries are so "pro-Ukrainian" that they toppled the democratically elected government in Kiev in 2014 without majority support in Ukraine; they supported purging Ukraine's political system, media, and society of "pro-Russian" elements; they backed the killing of thousands of Ukrainians in Donbas from 2014 onward who did not recognise the legitimacy of the new authorities; they pressured Zelensky to reverse the peace platform that 73% of Ukrainians voted for in 2019 because NATO viewed peace as "capitulation"; they torpedoed the peace negotiations in Istanbul in 2022 after Russia invaded; they boycotted diplomacy and negotiations for more than four years and declared that "weapons are the path to peace," even as a large majority of Ukrainians wanted immediate peace talks; they maintained public support in the West for fuelling the war by ensuring that the brutal "recruitment" of Ukrainian men to the front lines and other uncomfortable realities were not debated in the media; and now, leaders in NATO countries are pressuring the authorities in Ukraine to lower the conscription age, while the EU will also "help" Ukraine by sending Ukrainian refugees back home to die in NATO's proxy war.
One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.
The IC also properly assessed that targeting the Iranian leadership would strengthen the regime and embolden the hardliners.
Despite the professionalism & accuracy of the IC, the narrative & agenda spun by a foreign government- Israel, won the argument & forced us into this war.
We need to understand exactly how this happened to ensure we are never put in this position again.
The Odyssey is just one more exercise in Hollywood virtue signaling.
Greeks are clearly not one of their protected classes, and so it’s totally fine to appropriate, to caricature, and to misrepresent our history and culture.
So what if Cleopatra was a Greek descendant of Alexander’s general Ptolemy? Let’s change her race and ethnicity.
So what if Helen of Troy was a Greek woman who Homer described as Ἑλένη λευκώλενος, καλλιπάρῃος Ἑλένη, and Ἑλένῃ ξανθῇ — which translate to White armed Helen, Fair-cheeked Helen, and Blonde Helen? Christopher Nolan will change her race and ethnicity too.
Besides providing the pillars for civilization, and modern day society, Greeks don’t have the right to be proud after watching a movie. Their history and mythology should only be used to make others proud. Throw a rapper in there, why not? Greek philosopher, American rapper, what’s the difference right?
Go Woke, go broke. Anyone who watches this trash is part of the problem, and only contributing to our civilizational rot.

Stubb varoittaa: ”Meillä on viisi vuotta aikaa.” Mies puhuu Prahan lavalta kuin hänellä olisi Yhdysvaltain presidentin valta ja Kiinan komentotalous taskussa.
Todellisuudessa Alexander Stubb on 5,5 miljoonan asukkaan maan presidentti edustuksellisessa demokratiassa, jossa oikea valta kuuluu pääministerille ja eduskunnalle. Mutta ei anneta pienten yksityiskohtien pilata hyvää globaalia narratiivia.
Stubb, ylivertaisuusvinoumasta kärsivä globalisti, luennoi taas laajentamisesta, integraatiosta ja resilienssistä, suuria visioita pieneltä mieheltä. Samaan aikaan Eurooppaa riivaa:
• energiapolitiikan itsemurha,
• teollisuuden konkurssikierre,
• puolustuskyvyn ilmapallo,
• haitallinen maahanmuutto
• sekä ilmastouskonnon verotuskoneisto.
Euroopassa ei ole hyvinvointivajetta, vaan sen katoamista. Sitä ei korjata vahvistamalla totalitaristista EU:ta, vaan purkamalla se.
Viisi vuotta taitaa mennä siihen ennen kuin koko projekti romahtaa ja tavalliset eurooppalaiset joutuvat siivoamaan jäljet.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.
The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.
Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
@BowesChay I have nothing positive to say about Zelensky or the EU dictators.
But in a way we owe them much more then EU membership. We have used the poor average people of Ukraine so badly.... slaughter, corruption. Maybe we owe them not to be EU members. That is probably the best reward.
The US put a blockade on Venezuela and Cuba, and also put a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is not international waters, yet under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNLOS), ships from all countries have the right of transit passage. Although, neither the US nor Iran have ratified UNCLOS. International law entails accepting commitments / restraints on oneself and in return get reciprocity, something that must be relearned now as the hegemonic era is over.
In 1900, John D. Rockefeller controlled approximately 90 percent of all petroleum refining in the United States. He was, by some calculations, the richest private individual who had ever lived.
He had a problem. Scientists were discovering that compounds derived from coal tar, a petroleum byproduct, could be used as synthetic medicines. Aspirin, derived from coal tar, had been launched by Bayer in 1899. The petroleum waste stream Rockefeller had previously had to dispose of could now be sold back to the public as medicine at a markup of roughly 10,000 percent.
He had another problem. American medicine in 1900 was a competitive ecosystem of homeopaths, herbalists, naturopaths, osteopaths, midwives, and traditional doctors who used food, plants, water, and lifestyle as the primary tools of healing. Approximately half of all American medical schools taught some form of natural or alternative medicine.
Rockefeller bought into the German pharmaceutical industry, eventually taking a substantial stake in IG Farben, the conglomerate that included Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst. He then commissioned a report.
The report was written by Abraham Flexner, an educator with no medical training, funded by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, and published in 1910. It declared that natural and alternative medical schools were unscientific quackery. It recommended the closure of more than half of all American medical schools and the standardisation of the rest around medicine based on synthetic patented drugs.
Congress acted. Half of American medical schools closed within a decade. The remainder accepted Rockefeller and Carnegie funding on the condition that their curricula be reorganised around pharmaceutical treatment. Nutrition was removed. Herbal medicine was removed. Lifestyle intervention was removed. The doctor's job was redefined: diagnose the symptom, prescribe the drug.
The drugs were petroleum-derived. The petroleum was supplied by Rockefeller-controlled refineries. The medical schools were funded by Rockefeller. The journals were funded by Rockefeller. The AMA was supported by Rockefeller. The hospitals were funded by Rockefeller.
By 1925, the American medical system was a vertically integrated extension of the petroleum industry, operating under the marketing slogan that it was scientific.
This is the system that exists today.
The pharmaceutical industry generates approximately $1.5 trillion in annual revenue. The American population, 4 percent of the global total, consumes approximately 50 percent of all pharmaceuticals manufactured.
The system was not designed to make people healthy. The system was designed to manage symptoms in a way that produces lifetime customers. A healthy patient is a former customer. A managed patient, who takes the pill every day for the rest of their life, is an annuity.
The objective has always been to keep you in that profitable corridor between healthy and dead.
Long enough to keep buying. Not so well that you stop.
The doctor who advises you to fix your metabolism by changing your diet is, from the point of view of the system that trained him, a defective product. The doctor who prescribes you a statin, a metformin, an antidepressant, and a blood pressure medication for life is performing exactly as designed.
The system was designed by an oil baron who needed to sell the waste products of his refineries.
It still functions, 116 years after the Flexner Report, exactly the way he designed it.
You are the customer.
The corridor is where you live.
Alexander Stubb, president of Finnland, calls on Iran to stop firing at its neighbors and open the strait of Hormuz, but conveniently leaves out that it is Iran that is being attacked by his NATO Ally and by Israel, using the territories and airspaces of those neighbours to do so. Oh and the straits WERE OPEN before the unlawful attack. So what the hell?!
European leaders are really insane hypocrites.
