Smartmatic, not Dominion.. Aung San Suu Kyi was elected in 2015. Myanmar made a deal with Smartmatic in 2017. In 2020 she won by a landslide and now the military did a coup because they believe their that there was voter fraud. Liberal lamestream media call that an attack on Myanmar's democracy, conservatives might just call it draining a swamp.

I've managed to get 24 more shares at $49.80 and then the stock virtually exploded under my hands..

Sure.. they're blocking the HCQ and Ivermectin as hard as it gets where I live.. I got stock for the whole family but I needed to resort to black market to get it.. sad, really..

Of course they have.. They want to get rid of Putin as badly as your DS want Trump gone forever.. But it's quite comical to see liberals crying about Putin's additional terms, while completely ignoring Frau Merkel holding the position of Chancellor of Germany since 2005 without interruption..

Moscow is not entirely "Russian" - much more cosmopolitan than the rest of the country, of course.. St.Petersburg as the old capital would be the same, but Putin has spent much of his active life there and he is a very popular figure in this corner of Russia.. The classic corruption has sort of died out. Street gangs riding in BMWs and shooting in the streets, that's (mostly) gone.. This has been replaced by a much more sophisticated system of white collar mafia controlling many official businesses worth billions.. today's villains are lawyers and bankers wearing Gucci suits and Russia is not different..

Trying to be as brief as possible:

  • do women feel safe walking alone at night? - sure, why wouldn't they?
  • do children play in the streets unafraid of a world only their parents know of? - yes, they do, a lot.. they are only limited by geographic conditions (majority of Russia surely is a cold place)
  • do hard working honest people have a chance to move beyond where they started? - err, that sort of depends.. don't make a mistake, Russia is a cruel capitalist market.. you risk a lot, you win a lot.. or lose everything.. the times where mafia shot you in the street and nothing happened are those of the Yeltsin era (90s).. but, generally, I'd say that the possibilities for an American dream are more limited in Russia than in the States.. but also the social safety net is more dense - especially health insurance policy..
  • is there's freedom to speak truth without reprocesson? - it sort of depends on what your standard is.. Is there a freedom of expression in the United States, as we speak? that can't be answered that easily.. if you're a nobody, then you can talk about what you want.. but once you apply for a higher public position, then you have to start howling with the wolves.. and if you try to fvck up the system, then the system will crush you.. just like in the States..

The most significant difference would be that in the States you can't openly bash the LGBT or BLM policies.. in Russia, it's rather the opposite, it's not explicitly forbidden rather than not advisable to openly promote these ideologies.. Putin is a very strong advocate of a traditional family and general public follows this quite closely (outside of Moscow, that is)..

You're more right than you think, fren.. Russians had the same situation (staying away from any one person holding more than two terms) but they have changed the constitution about this recently..

Imagine a Trump-run United States which are bordered by a wall to Mexico in order to stop illegal migrants.. and the same way protected by political means to stop the foreign interference (limited influence of NGOs, foreign funding, liberal philosophies in education system, LGBT ideology, protected election systems, protected internal market, protected internet and state infrastructure, limited influence of Big Tech).. Is that a dictatorship to you? In some ways it's arguable, I agree.. Because that is in many ways today's Russia.. they have extended the number of presidential terms so that Putin can do another two.. they have kicked out Soros and his OSF.. they have limited Facebook/Twitter and introduced their own social media, the VK.. they have completely encapsulated their internet under Roskomnadzor, replaced foreign content in their weapon systems, removed all foreign (American and Chinese) CPUs from their state infrastructure - all government computers now use domestic MCST Elbrus chipsets. That might sound like a dictatorship but in the light of the last American elections it also starts to make some sense.. so, it depends on how your own standards are set..

I confirm.. Where I live we get plenty of solid info from Russia.. My russian is solid, can't speak fluently but I am able to listen to Putin's speech and understand without major effort.

Russia is a predominantly Christian (orthodox) country. LGBTIQ ideologies are not well tolerated and cannot be openly advertised.. NGOs are rather limited and have to be registered as foreign agents once getting funds from abroad.. Putin is in many ways a true GEOTUS figure there, just like Trump, but with few important differences:

  • Russian deep state is less powerful, but aided by extensive external pressure.. most Putin's political adversaries are not from within rather than foreign globalists..
  • Putin has an official media channel at his disposal - the Russia Today.. many other media channels like Izvestiya, Lenta or Moscow Times are liberal, but he really can depend on the RT.. something like censoring him (or stealing an election from him, for that matter) is completely unthinkable..
  • Putin never uses any social media..
  • he has secured a possibility for two additional terms, which, in his age situation, basically means lifetime presidency (his popularity is safely over 65%)..

A typical Russian loves freedom, hockey, guns and boobs but prefers a jar of vodka to a Bud light. Not much difference there.. Expect ~70% patriots, ~13% old class communists and ~17% new class commies now called liberals.

This.. they should not be worried about long term effects that much, let alone on possible fertility issues..

Don't believe that for a second.. Enty stated that our favorite CEO's typical routine would be coming around at 9am, obviously high on some substance, yelling at everyone and then leaving with his bizjet at 11am. Whatever image of a hard-working tech freak you have imprinted from the media, the reality is likely greatly different.

I find it quite hard to judge.. Is EM a patriot? How and why was he allowed to rise up that high without being a part of the cabal?

Most likely it does.. I am quite smart but I must confess, this is beyond my capabilities..

Yeah, I know.. My question was more hypothetical - imagine that nobody sells.. not for $500, not for $3,000, not for $40,000.. which would mena they can't cover their positions.. what then?
