In my opinion, this post doesn't imply at all that he is angry with you. It seems to be a friendly complaint.

I hope so because he was seen on the forum only 19 minutes ago but hasn't replied in the 'Indian models and actresses' thread where I tagged him last night.

Surprising given that the Indian establishment is firmly pro-NATO.

I think we're trying to get oil for less, these will help.

Informative article. It also mentions the other Indian government concern - Russian weaponry. If Russia decides to stop doing maintainance and supply of spares for USSR / Russia origin Indian military system as well as stop supply of ammunition then much of the military will just stop. Though USA government is going to give money to Indian government to buy hugely more number of weapons from the American and other Western military-industrial complexes for replacing Russian deals at the soonest. There was a thread about his some days ago.

Also, last night I tagged you in the 'Indian models and actresses' thread.

What are they saying in the last video?

 

[FairAndUnbiased]

There were uprisings because the communists wanted to have a communist government.

South Korea now ranks #16 on the democracy index
North Korea ranks #165 on the democracy index.
There are only 167 countries on the list.

Why did they want a communist government?

Nobody in 1947 could know what South Korea would become in 2022. They could've ended up like any other number of 3rd world military dictatorships during the Cold War.

Russia outpaces United States in developing hypersonic weapons — Russian Foreign Ministry​

According to Director of the Foreign Ministry's Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Vladimir Yermakov, for Washington this is an attempt to restore the noticeably shaken reputation of an advanced military power with the most high-tech weapons..

MOSCOW, May 28. /TASS/. Russia has significantly outpaced the United States in the development of hypersonic weapons, Director of the Foreign Ministry's Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Vladimir Yermakov told TASS on Saturday.

"As for the reaction to such developments, in this particular case, according to claims made by the US, they have been trying to 'catch up' with Russia for many years now, which has shown significant progress in developing hypersonic systems. This was an unavoidable move in our situation to secure guaranteed overcoming of the US global missile defense system, as well as reliable maintenance of strategic stability," he said.

"Apparently, for Washington this is an attempt to restore the noticeably shaken reputation of an advanced military power with the most high-tech weapons. It is worth noting that despite huge financial resources, not a single full-fledged hypersonic system in the United States has yet been put into service," Yermakov stressed.

Speaking about the risks from these developments for Russian security, the diplomat noted that, taking into account the destructive actions of the United States in the field of international security in recent decades, "It would not be an exaggeration to say that any new weapons system from them in itself creates risks for countries that the US counts among their opponents and adversaries.

The Russians don’t even have a 50% accuracy rate on cruise missile, I’d take the above with a dump truck of salt

US President Biden says he won't send rockets to Ukraine that could reach Russia​

US President Joe Biden said he doesn't plan to ship any rockets to Ukraine that could reach Russian territory.
"I won't send anything that can fire into Russia," Biden said at the White House on Monday when asked whether he was planning to send long-range rockets to Ukraine.
CNN reported last week the Biden administration is preparing to step up the kind of weaponry it is offering Ukraine by sending advanced, long-range rocket systems that are now the top request from Ukrainian officials.
The administration is leaning toward sending the systems as part of a larger package of military and security assistance to Ukraine, which could be announced as soon as next week.
The administration has wavered on whether to send the systems amid concerns raised within the National Security Council that Ukraine could use the new weapons to carry out offensive attacks inside Russia, according to officials.
On Friday, after CNN first reported the news, Russians warned that the United States will “cross a red line” if it supplies the systems to Ukraine.

Btw Putin is called the father of EU now. He made russia the perfect enemy to unite EU against. Its amusing because its direct opposite of what he wanted and crushs any plans of Russia to play a role in Europe for decades.


He is also father of Ukraine now. This war forges a true ukrainian identity and will bind Ukraine to Europe.

No need for that. Partisans blow up russian assets, plants, energy grids all over russia.


Its not our goal to strike in Russia. Goal is to kill as much russian soldiers in Ukraine as possible. Drive the cost up. The attacks inside russia are best done by partisan forces

Pretty sure Biden is only referring to the ATACMS missile capability that will be withheld.

You know f*** all about history and what led up to Putin annexing Crimea in the first place. The US, and its poodles like the French, had been supporting the Ukrainian nationalists and Neo-Nazis since the early 2000s, there's even pictures of US senators such as John McCain in Ukraine at rallies held by the Neo- Nazi supporters. The eventual US-supported "peaceful" revolutions and overthrow of the legitimately elected president Viktor Yanukovych was the last straw for Putin. It was the direct interreference and provocation of the US and its European lapdogs like you that provoked Putin, so don't blame anyone else. It's quite understandable you French would have sympathies with the Ukrainian and Russian neo-Nazis, given that La Pen was a close runner up in the vote, she likes Putler very much, and ideally the French don't want to see brotherly neo-Nazis fighting each other. Quite ironic really, given that France was defiled by the German Nazis, guess the Vichy regime is alive and well in France

Far-right group at heart of Ukraine protests meet US senator

Protests continue in the Ukrainian capital after an endorsement from US Senator John McCain but at the heart of the movement in Kiev lies an extreme right wing party with links to the BNP.

Ukraine’s pro-EU protests show no sign of stopping – US Senator John McCain dined with opposition leaders this weekend, including the extreme far-right Svoboda party.
During his trip the former US presidential candidate met with government and opposition figures, but gave his endorsement to the pro-Europe protesters.
Senator McCain later waved to protesters from the stage in Independence Square during a mass rally in Kiev, standing with Oleh Tyahnybok, leader of the anti-Semitic Svoboda party.

Growing far-right​

Svoboda, meaning freedom, has been enjoying a boom in success in recent years winning their first parliamentary seats in 2010, taking just over 10 per cent of the vote to become Ukraine’s fourth biggest party with 36 seats out of 450.
The ultra-nationalist group is aligned with other European far-right parties including the BNP, but their radical stance has made them a central force in the ongoing street protests.
The party was registered in 1995, initially called the Social National Party of Ukraine and using a swastika style logo.
Read: EU suspends planned agreement with Ukraine
A 1999 report from Tel-Aviv University called the party: “an extremist, right-wing, nationalist organization which emphasizes its identification with the ideology of German National Socialism”. The party broke with their most extreme elements a decade ago, expelling groups of neo-Nazis and rebranding with a new name and logo.

‘Jewish mafia’​

However, in 2004 leader Oleh Tyahnybok gave a speech attacking what he called “the Moscow-Jewish mafia ruling Ukraine” and in another speech declared: “the Moskali, Germans, Kikes and other scum who wanted to take away our Ukrainian state.”

Despite the controversy his statements attracted in the West, Tyahnybok was voted Person of the Year by readers of Ukrainian news magazine Korrespondent last year.

In another outburst from the party their deputy chief, Ihor Miroshnychenko, wrote an anti-Semitic attack on Mila Kunis on Facebook: “Kunis is not Ukrainian, she is a Yid. She is proud of it, so Star of David be with her.”

Extremist ban call

The World Jewish Congress has called for Svoboda to be banned along with the Jobbik party in Hungary and Greece’s extremist Golden Dawn.

Out on the streets of Kiev the red and black striped flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA) is regularly seen carried alongside flags carrying Svoboda’s logo.

The UIA flag belongs to an anti-communist force that sought to establish an ethnic nation state under dictatorship during the Second World War.

Svoboda member of parliament Ihor Miroshnychenko called for the banning of a LGBT march this year declaring that “homosexuality provokes sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS”.

The statement will sit uncomfortably with Senator McCain’s wife Cindy, who has campaigned for same-sex marriage and petitioned her husband on the issue.

However, Svoboda takes a strong anti-Moscow line and has strong relationships with elements in Europe, they are the only non-EU member of the Alliance of European National Movements – a group that includes the BNP and French National Front.

Last year, their members of parliament were involved in a brawl in an attempt to prevent a deputy from speaking in Russian from the podium. They later used a chainsaw to cut down a fence erected around the parliament building.

‘Love of our land’​

Defending his party Oleh Tyahnybok has repeatedly claimed that Svoboda is not racist or anti-Semitic, telling the New York Times: “Our view is love. Love of our land. Love of the people who live on this land. This is love to your wife and your home and your family. So, it’s love to your mother. Can this feeling be bad?”

Already, public Jewish events celebrating Hanukkah have been cancelled due to fears of violence, with Ukrainian Jewish Committee spokesman Eduard Dolinsky warning: “Increase security everywhere, at every public Jewish place”.

After being pictured on stage at a rally with Fatherland leader, Vitaly Klitschko, and Svoboda’s Oleh Tyahnybok, McCain declared: “Those brave men and women should know that they are not alone. Their friends across the world stand in solidarity with them.”

You know what? When you want to kill your dog, you say it has rabies !!!!
No country is "forced" to invade another unless BEING UNDER ATTACK WITH NO OTHER MEAN TO FORCE THE INVADER OUT!!!
Now, let's show some very ironic pictures :

Oooops!!!!

Oooops!!!!

If there was some kind of oppression on Russian speaking population which are not Russian nationals and Putin worried about them, he'd do just like Israel did in several countries, I think that the most recent was Yemen where Houthis were definitively into exterminating the last Jews which also weren't Israeli nationals : they arranged their evacuation and moved them to Israel!!
And mark my words, it'd be MUCH cheaper to relocate all the Russia-funded separatists and sympathizers as well as those feeling threatened into Russia than starting a war, and since your "Novorossiya" project...

is using forced recruitment to force the inhabitants of illegitimate LPR and DPR into becoming canon-fodder against their own country that is Ukraine, your blah blah blah is nothing else than applying Goebbels' propaganda tenets because you believe that a line repeated 1000 times becomes truth, but you guys at the 55 Savushkina Street in Saint Petersburg have forgotten was to do your homework :
2 months before suiciding his whole family and himself, your beloved Goebbels declared :

And neither your boss Prighozin as well Putin, are as good liars as Goebbels or Putin's ex-boss who was even a better spin doctor than Goebbels, the "great" Yuri Andropov...
Frankly, had Andropov spent his energy at doing comics or novels rather than ruining other peoples' lives, he'd now be as famed as Stan Lee, Tolkien, Frank Herbert or John Brunner...
Anyone scratching the surface will debunk your excuses in minutes and THE INVASION OF UKRAINE IN ITSELF IS ALREADY A WAR CRIME BEING PERPETRATED FOR 8 YEARS!!!
