Things are happening fast. If it gets out of control, the whole of Europe could be embroiled in a war and the US will be responsible for it. Good for the rest of the world, the white people have been killing non-whites in their imperialist wars for too long. I hope they fight each other.

Trust me, you don't want a destroyed europe. Where do you think Europeans will go if things get bad? They will come to your country.

simple question is why allies did not show the body of Osama to media?

At this point, it is irrelevant. We chose not to display bin Laden's body for tactical reasons. We do not care if people believe US or not. If we lied THEN, it should be easy for Osama bin Laden and his followers to prove US liar by NOW. But enough time has passed. Osama bin Laden is dead.

Not at all, but apparently you find it amusing or at least condone what is happening on Ukraine.

So….


I’m very happy in life actually.
Russia started this, just like America started the second golf war, you can’t have it both ways.

In the same way the likes of you and Madeline Albright condoned the killing of over 500,000 Iraqi children and countless millions in your "intervention" in the Middle East...please go f*** yourself.

This is nothing new. Actually Poland has played Russia. The "Gas cut off" was more a PR stunt and a Propaganda move for the Russian public. Reverse( DE -> PL ) on the Yamal pipeline is already hapenning since months.

What hapenned:
1. Russia/Gazprom cut off the Gas supplies to Polish Companies and by this broke the contract, which was in USD.
2. Polish companies can and probably will get compensation from Gazprom for breaking the contract ( Again! ).
3. Long term credibility of Gazprom as provider was damaged as everybody reported it as "Gazprom/Russia cut the Gas" = Russia is not always a serious business partner
4. Polish companies can still get/are getting Gas from Germany in the same volume, if needed.
5. Gazprom can try to blackmail Germany, if they have the balls to do it.

If this was an atempt of a blackmail is rather did not work.

The difference now is that Russia is receiving Ruble as the payment. That is all Russia has asked for. It doesn't matter how natural gas flows around once it has been paid for. Actually it makes pure economic sense. Think about it. After EU and US posted sanction on Russia, what does Russia need Euros and dollars for? It can't spend these currencies.

If Russia really wants to blackmail, it would threaten with gas/oil embargo, like Saudi did in 70s, not just request ruble payment.

NATO is not being punched.

But we are being annoyingly poked.

Strangely enough, benazir Bhutto said he died of liver failure before being 'killed'.

Also, Iranian intelligence believed he was dead earlier.

OK, Throwing dead body in Sea water is usual?

Yes, the practice is called 'burial at sea'. Every sea going culture has it at some points in their histories.

Not only Russia can't spend euros and US dollars. AFAIK Russia can't receive euros and US dollars as well, so "payment" in euros or US dollars mean no payment at all. Brussels and Washington wanted Russia to deliver gas for free.

Exactly. It is kind of funny that Europe wants Russia to honor contracts.

Ah yes half a million children executed by American troops, what disturbing dream are you living in?
