Not a fan of Zelenskiy, but no one here understands what satire is? There is one on 300 Spartans on same UT page that pops up, by the same comedians, you're saying he was one of the 300 back in the day? The guy writes comedy and parody for a living.
Any local comedian imitating fags is a homo to you as well? Just curious.
I dislike him for many reasons, but at no time have I even had a reason to suspect he's gay, nor heard it. And I have been watching not only movies he wrote, but those he acted in, and read plenty of local gossip. Daily. And while I can point out a good number of homo actors and singers there, Zelenskiy is not one. Stop it. Its a comedy video, he's a well known comedian.
BTW, that taller almost bold guy in the video is now mostly playing serious roles, cops and military, sometimes criminals, very few comedy roles. Never seen the other 2.
Plenty of videos on some Russian sites. In Russian, though. Including one today of Russian hello destroying anti-aricraft missile launcher and support vehicles on some highway, car video recorder got it all in very good quality, one can also see most cars simply moving along, and then a few people running into the woods in fear from their car. Russian helo only torched the 3 vehicles and no other cars. None. Clear and precise attack. But proving that locals really are not that afraid of Russian forces advancing.
Another video of supposedly Russian military officer, a Major, taken prisoner. Locals called it a fake once they saw the uniform, Russian military now sports pixelated camo type, this one was not. Then someone found a video of this "Russian Major" as one of the nazi battalions members from a few years ago. So, not 4Chan ability wise, but they seem to follow through on all news and video reports as they come along.
There is a site called Russian Spring Русская Весна. More news and videos there than on many other sites. Its similar to GA here, started when Maidan junta took over in 2014. There is one more, need to check what's going on there since I stopped following a few years ago due to no real progress on freeing Donetsk and Lugansk.
One thing to remember is that all the internal issues in Russia, be it Gazprom or any other business, are internal to Russia, they have nothing to do with DS. There is plenty of corruption in Russia and almost weekly someone higher up is caught in bad financial dealings. Or rather, they cross a line where someone says, "Enough!". They all steal, during Soviet days it was a way of life for almost all people there trying to survive. Your salary paid for almost nothing. So graft became the way of life and is so ingrained now that I have no idea how many generations have to pass for people to unlearn the behavior. Governments, local or federal, tolerate it up to a point, or rather a missed bribe :-) And then the foot comes down. Its either prison or eating some lead, most choose prison.
One thing that Putin did was replace bribes to mafia to be now directly to police. They call it "donations", of course. If you want your business not to burn, or worse, you pay the cops. That is how bad the graft is there.
Either way, whatever happens there has nothing to do with DS. Have no idea why any news about Gazprom excites anyone here. Especially fake news.
He's in L'vov (my city of birth). Despite news media BS. Is that not running?
Read above. And fuck off. Really.
He personally visited the military line with Donetsk and Lugansk way too many times to list. If you do not follow the news there, daily as I do, you really need to bone up on the matter. Here you are claiming that he simply "did not know what's taking place" in his own back yard. Same crappy line used in Nuremberg. Like Castro and Newsom claiming they have no idea... As a comedian Zelenksiy saw precisely everything wrong taking place there and ran on this platform for the presidency, but according to your Einstein world views he stopped seeing all that the minute he moved to his Kiev palace. Riiiiight... Put that crack pipe down.
No way he was not installed as puppet by Hussein and Soros when way better known politicos were also in the running. Bidet won with "81 Millions", Z won with 73%. Sounds familiar?
Cash wise, he's got $1.2 Bil in Costa Rica, last reported just 3 days ago. Names and all, seems the journo was not afraid to report it. $10-20 Millions deposited by EACH oligarch, EVERY month.
Also, I am sure you don't know, but at least 2 Kiev politicos confirmed yesterday that Zelenskiy is actually in L'vov, not Kiev, as claimed. Before Russians, actually Chechen forces, cut off escape routes to the West yesterday morning and disabled all airports in Kiev area, taking 2 outright. Is that not "taking the money and making a run"? By your definition? Perhaps why mayor of L'vov reported early today (our time) that Russian spec ops landed near L'vov, 3 helos dropping off 60 troops, something no one expected that far West, L'vov is in panic mode now with the Poland and Slovakia border crossings a parking lot since yesterday. And some into Moldova.
Get informed and stop attacking people when you yourself are the one being uninformed. And get better news sources, yours suck, obviously.
Is that the reason he not only did not stop the terror in Donetsk and Lugansk, but ordered the recent escalation that led to Putin to finally say "Enough!"? "Fairly decent bloke"?
I know of no "fairly decent bloke" who allows and actually orders his military to shell kindergartens, schools and hospitals. Do you?
I'd be looking for new frens across the pond if I were you.
I was born in L'vov, I know what's going on there. To a T.
He made some of the best comedies in recent times, films and TV series, all in Russian language. As a comedian he is very abrasive in his presentation, think Bobby Slaton type, they can be long lost brothers in their delivery. As a comedy writer he is really good.
He made TV series called "Servant of the People", about a politician, and then ran under same nickname/line in elections for the presidency.
Report just 3 days ago claims his offshore account in Costa Rica bank is worth $1.2Billion, and villa in Miami Beach worth $36, with the money deposited monthly by the $$$$ Tens of Millions by a number of Ukrainian oligarchs, even listed a few names. No way in hell such money, if claim of the bank account is true, can be made by making movies (for Russian market).
Have no idea how anyone can be "our guy" when he not only didn't try to stop the Nazi terror against Eastern Ukraine (Donetsk and Lugansk), but also visited line of militray conflict numerous times in his support of said military terror.
You make the call if he's corrupt, or not.
FAKE news. Investigate on your own first prior to posting. We are turning as bad as the liberals lately with the fake crap.
FAKE news, do YOUR OWN research before posting fake crap.
Who's the genius down voting? Check the news, I mean really check the news. What's with the liberal proclivity of down voting only because you think you have it right (but are not)? I thought we're the better lot and are way more informed?
He was not "ousted", he simply left the country. At no time did he resign, nor new Kiev junta government took any steps to actually fire him in any way. They simply installed Poroshenko, well, after having "fair" elections. And 2 had Presidents at same time.
We also forget the first color revolution, back in the day, when they had "fair" elections to install Yuschenko (another one of L'vov nazis).
The place is so corrupted at this point I really have no idea who they can find that is not corrupted. The only 2 leaders who are not are those running new republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The rest are all indebted and are pawns to one oligarch or another, Zelensky included.
Kiev internal matters department was evacuating fast yesterday, simply throwing all the documents in large white garbage bags. I am betting most of Bidet docs are now gone, one way or another.
That said, Russian politico stated 2 days ago that they compiled a list of 421 names to stand trials for genocide and ethnic cleansing. I am sure the list will be expanded in quick order.
As of earlier this morning (our time) mayor of L'vov, where most of Kiev politicos have escaped to as well as most of the foreign diplomats/embassies/missions, has confirmed that Russian spec ops team has landed right near the city, something that no one has expected. 60 troops as he reported, via 3 helos. There is panic even in L'vov now with people now escaping to Poland and Slovakia.
Relatives in Moldova confirmed that Russian tanks are moving from the region of Pridnestrovie towards Western Ukrainian borders. Seems to cut off L'vov as well.
What Russian military has done, in quick order, is encircle ALL of major cities to cut off ways of escape, though I see no reports of any activity North of Odessa, at least so far. They just destroyed oil storage facility right next to Kiev to disable fuel supplies to any Kiev military units still stupid enough to fight.
Kiev news media went Baghdad Bob way and are reporting some wild science fiction. First, they reported that its border patrol fighters on Snake Island have given up their lives to fight the Russian occupiers. Turns out that all of 82 are alive and well, and simply surrended (saw a video). Next they said that a Russian fighter jet, SU-27, was shut down over Kiev. Turns out these idiots shut down their own jet. A military motorized convoy was destroyed, reported as Russian. Turns out it was Kiev's. One military air defense vehicle ran over a civilian yesterday, kept going as if nothing happened, civilian reported dead. Another one ran over a car, car driver survived. Kiev distributed 20,000 AK-47s to all who wanted one yesterday. Guess how the night went? Yep, just like BLM, Ukrainian Lives Matter went shopping and pillaging, fire fights all night long with news media reporting "citizens fighting Russian forces" with no Russian forces in Kiev proper. Kadyrov's miitary were reported all killed with one Kiev politico confirming it to at least 3 news media sources. Turns out they are not only alive and well, but took over a military base and airport and released a video of them taking down Kiev flags and raising their own. Etc, etc, etc. Baghdad Bob lives!
Kiev is also now mimicking Palestinian war manual and has placed various missile batteries on many Kiev streets to use civilians as human shields.
There are reports now that bread and dairy are very scarce in Kiev and Khar'kov and in some cases people use the newly acquired AK-47s to, hmmm, claim bread and milk. Fire fights.
Russia reported capturing plenty of Javelins and NLAWs in their initial push 2 days ago, our tax dollars at work. And worse yet, Bidet and Co. are now wanting to ship more arms to Russians, errr, Kiev. As do Germany and Brits. Stupid is as stupid does. More arms for Russians, looks like.
And the only reason Russians gave them a 2 days respite is due to Kiev, Zelensky, wanting to think over the offer to sit down at a table and talk, with Russians demanding that Kiev military lay down their weapons first and end all fighting. Russian forces were told to wait for Kiev decision, otherwise they'd be way deeper into their incursions by now.
Kiev now only has one sea port access, if you can call it that at this point, in Odessa. Rest of Black Sea region is mostly under Russian control as of now, from Kherson to Malitopol. Mariupol is not taken over yet, but Kiev military and nazi volunteers are trying all they can to escape, so... The city is pretty much surrounded with the noose tightening by the hour. Same as Kiev.
Fake news. Move on...
Cut veins not likely? Why? Doesn't really specify what kind of cuts, so yours is purely a specualtion. As could be mine.
Just read the article, save for investigation into some of his company dealings nothing really to see there. Its an internal Gazprom issue, nothing to do with anything. Graft, typical graft when people sit on so much money and plenty of projects that could hide graft. On top of recently operated leg and resultant pain, also typical. Though seems he knew a prison term is coming once financial investigation is done. Plus, life expectancy for Russian men is rather low and is not much over 60. His wife and son left him recently. So...
You guys see things where they may not be. This was more than normal for Russians, nothing to do with global anything.
At least 2 Kiev politicos confirmed that Zelensky fled Kiev and is in L'vov, as of last night. So much for his BS about staying and supposedly giving interviews from Kiev. Our news media plays Bahgdad Bob.
There is a huge misconception and, well, a huge lie. Doesn't matter if our idiots in Congress know any of this, or simply refuse to and look the other way. Most of what's called Ukraine today is really Russian Empire lands, Malorossia (Small Russia) and Novorossia (New Russia). Most of the Russians is really 3 ethnic groups, Velikorosy, Malorosy and Belorusy. There is a small minority called Ruthians (Russiny) as well. So, no such thing as a "ukrainian". If you read correspondence between Peter the Great and Mazepa (the MF who sold out to Swedes), Mazepa ALWAYS referred to the lands of what is today called Ukraine as "okrainy". OUTSKIRTS in Russian, being, well, outskirts of Russian Empire. First time word "ukraine" was uttered was in 1914, as a REGION, and nothing else. And then Lenin created Republic of Ukraine by combining Malorosia and Novorosia along with Kiev region, as his royal highness decided to be generous.
Ukraine, as a country, NEVER existed. Only as part of Soviet Union. Don't let any idiot tell you otherwise and when someone is moron enough to ask or argue simply ask them to show you any currency of "Ukraine" prior to 1991. A country is defined by currency and borders. It was Russian army defeating Swedes at Poltava, and it was Russian army taking the Crimea from the Turks. The western lands were sometimes under Polish rule, but that is about tit, and no such thing as "Ukraine" EVER EXISTED.
So. Ukrainian is really olden Russian mixed in with some Polish and Hungarian, a "scouse" language of population barely able to read and write back then. We hated being forced to take ukrainian language in school since no one spoke it in real life and daily dealings. Not in L'vov, not in Kiev, and definitely not in Odessa. Never even mind Donetsk, Khar'kov and Lungansk, where military action is taking pace these days. Russian is still de facto language spoken in Duma when journalists are not watching. Because they are mostly all ethnic Russians since there is no such thing as "ukrainian" ethnos. There is a small group of what's known as Zapadentsy (Westerners), those in the region that was taken from Poland in 1939 divide, the region where I was born. Most of them are of German and Polish origin and have nothing to do with Russians. They are the ones who staged color revolutions in recent times, last one the junta take over in 2014. They are mostly Baptists and hate Russian Orthodoxy with gusto. Making what's going on since 2014 a religious AND ethnic cleansing. Germans are not slavs.
Putin is more than correct about nazis running the show in Kiev. Google Stepan Bandera, and SS Galichina and SS Nachtigal, 2 SS divisions comprised of "ukrainian" volunteers who exterminated with such gusto that even Germans asked them to tone it down. The surviving members still celebrate and have annual parades in L'vov these days, in full regalia, uniforms and all. L'vov was known as Lemberg since its founding and for centuries since. Think about that. Lemberg. Germans rolled in and made the city their command center, never touching a stone, they left it in one piece upon leaving.
Volunteers from region of L'vov were the most active and ruthless when they attacked Donetsk and Lugansk, these are the people Putin wants, and should make, to face military tribunals for the atrocities they committed. Since 1941 to this day.
Funny enough, these brave "warriors" were the first ones to leave city of Khar'kov a week ago and move back to the western "safety" of L'vov. Highway linking Kiev and L'vov has been reported as bumper to bumper for the past week, every crook is trying to escape now.
I fully expect the Southern region, what was known back in Tsar's days as Novorosia, to also split and join Russia, sooner rather than later. They have noting in common with the nazis, language included.
Best thing to do is to take back what were historically Russian lands, Kiev included, and give westernmost region of L'vov, which was taken in 1939, back to Poland. There is also a dispute and requests from Hungary and Romania, but I'd let them all decided how to split that land, Russia has no claim on that.
The split happened in Babylon, after the first Temple destruction and wholesale move of Jews to Babylon as teachers and builders, and not as slaves as many claim. Once there the split happened exactly over the "Talmud", Tanah", "Kabala", etc. Those who believed there is only Torah, and no "interpretation" of it such as Talmud, split up and went North. Some settled in what is Southern Russia now, joined Khazars, and some went North, still. There is a village in Baltics, need to do a search as my memory is a bit foggy on this right now, but they still live the Olden Way today, read and trust only Torah and nothing else. I cringe every time I see Talmud books in movies, friends of ours sent me a large set of Kabala, as a gift, I never opened the large box it came in, and eventually threw it out.
I recently met someone in NY, Russian Jew who became very religious since leaving Soviet Union, and once he uttered "Tanah" to me in our discussion of Jewish history I stopped him and said that I am no longer interested in the discussion, pointing out his reference to Tanah as the reason. Torah, to me, is same as the Constitution, there should not, and cannot be ANY "interpretation" and once I hear anyone mention an "interpretation" of either I am done. Cast in stone. And, BTW, Torah has been "adjusted" somewhat from its origins. Main one in Genesis where the original read "elohim", not "eloh". Humongous difference that will blow plenty of minds (plural vs. singular). There are others, especially in the interpretations of Old Testament as it made it through centuries of "translations" to other languages. The only question I have is, Were these badly translated words a real error, or a deliberate effort?
Spain wise, pronounce "Iberia", its olden name. EE beh ree ya. Now pronounce Hebrew (with the H almost silent or very light as it was back in the day). Yes, long subject, and plenty of "experts" out there re-writing history. Including the "fabled" Greek alphabet the Greeks supposedly invented. Take older Hebrew alphabet and place it in front of a mirror. Voíla! Old Greek. Every time some "history" book claims "Phoenicians", you can be assured it really means Jews. The world famous "banking system" supposedly created by Knights Templar was really the system they copied from, hmmm, the "Phoenicians", the system long proven by then (centuries upon centuries of traders). Its difficult to sort through facts lately with so much disinfo out there.
Speaking of history, can anyone, please, show me "Ukranian" currency pre-1991? Inquiring minds want to know. Can someone in US Congress show me such currency? And this is very recent, time wise, now imagine history that was altered, one way or another, centuries ago? Many a time deliberately so.
The money NEVER leaves USA, do better research. It pays for American jobs. And where do you think Patriot missiles are worked on? Now try to guess if this kind of testing, research and work were done by some US based company, locally, how much do you think that would really cost us? 10x? More? There is plenty more military research done there, including military satellites and drones. We also stopped Israel from selling their weaponry to others, China and India specifically, who compensates Israel for lost sales?
With $40K hammers and toilet seats just how much do you think all of this research would cost us locally? $3B per year is a bargain in my book.
Now, how much do we get back from, say, Egypt's $1B per year? And most others.
We give all the countries many $B every year everywhere we keep our military bases. You seriously think that Germany compensates us? Ask Trump, he knows. Japan? We would not need $700B Pentagon budget had we closed all military bases outside of US. I'll bet at least $100B goes there, and most likely much more.
Why do you think Poland and Romania, and others, so want our military bases? You really think its because of the protection? Or the TAX PAYER monies we then pump into localities where bases are?
Does anyone actually understand any of this when they post same crap non-stop.
ALWAYS follow the money.
This Ashkenazi Jew disagrees with your BS in regard to "no true bloodlines left". Educate yourself before posting crap. How's 99.1%? True enough for you? And, BTW, I am agnostic, a step up from Soviet Union education system atheist brain washing, and the ONLY reason I am a Jew is via my blood lines, nothing to do with my (lack of) religion. Converted "jews", late Sammy Davis and like, are NOT Jews in any sense of the word, they follow the religion, but their DNA does not make them Jews. Doesn't matter the size of Magen David they wear, still NOT a Jew. Its the DNA, the blood line as you call it, that defines one as Jew, not some imaginary book source, or some "muh research!" idiocy.
I do not consider Sephards to be Jews, doesn't matter to me if we agree on that, or not. I study ancient history for some time now and some view points proposed here is the reason I stopped posting a year ago, its getting beyond tiring to read utter and absolute garbage written by some morons decades and centuries ago in their hatred of Jews, now picked up by the "brainiacs" who cannot tell facts even if they hit them over the head.
We hate a number of supposed Jews even more than you guys do. Soros? I want to see his DNA, if he's a Jew, then I am Master of the Universe. Its a small group that gives the rest of us bad name. Enough with your BS. Research better.
Russian Jews, ex Soviet Union, is the most conservative voting group around, 95% or so. As I said, research better.
Ukraine sent a strong worded letter to Russia yesterday demanding Russia provide reasons of why Russia has troops INSIDE Russian borders, or there will be hell to pay. Russians laughed at the demand and told Kiev to go pound sand, no response coming.
One key thing that the West keeps overlooking is that when Reagan and Gorbachiov agreed on the deal to make Soviet Union no more Reagan, and NATO, promised not to expand NATO to Eastern Europe in exchange. And yet...
Russia simply doesn't want NATO on its borders. Would we want China military bases on Texas and AZ borders, or Canada? How difficult is this to comprehend?
I am old fashioned and still judge people on whether they keep their word, or not. To me a man who does not keep his word is trash. Putin is just diplomatic about this. Any GOP in Congress supporting Bidet, err, Hussein in this BS is simply a RINO and someone should ask them face to face if they keep their word. Are they men, or trash?
Even IF this absurdity somehow, by miracle, makes it out of Sacramento I expect a number of lawsuits that stop it, Day 1, and I can't imagine that even the 9th will go along with the morons when they already know they will be overruled, pronto. Remarkable that idiots here supposedly vote for the trash they call "politicians" when these idiots can't even follow recent SCOTUS rulings. Never even mind real science and common sense.
Masks mandates here are over come Tuesday, let's see what happens (been wearing clear face shield when food shopping, no muzzle).
Let's be honest and call spade a spade, and from now on refer to this admin as Hussein 2.0, no one is fooled.
You know, I follow Russian news daily, my daily ritual, but now I working my memory and as much as I recall all the vaxx mandates in Russia I cannot recall even one news article mentioning their military being forced to be jabbed. Hmmm... Need to do some digging. Same with China.
BTW, Pfizer pulled their EUA application yesterday in India when India insisted they will grant one only after they run trials locally and under Indian full control and observation.
No way is he a white hat, please stop. He is forcing the vaxx down people's throats, I am tired of watching hourly bombardment on TV using famous people, "doctors", etc. They instituted vaxx passports earlier, got some push back from businesses. Don't even get me going on face muzzles.
Plenty of videos out there of people literally attacking those who do not mask, one video of vicious attack by bus driver on a helpless woman, he beats her up and then throws her out the bus door head first for refusal to wear a muzzle, bus passengers cheering on! Another video, maybe 2 weeks ago?, where a husband comes back to a food store with an ax after they refused to sell food to his unmasked wife. Refusal to sell FOOD!
He is a patriot to his country, wish I could say that about our Congress and state politicos. Save for Trump and a small group like him. Putin should be commended for how he improved Russian economy and is protecting the country, but white hat he is not.
