Let us go to the real world for a moment shall we? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-trial-live-stormy-daniels-called-testify-2024-05-07/Trump Trial: Stormy Daniels testified about alleged sexual encounter
Adult film star Stormy Daniels was called to give evidence
Daniels told the jury about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump
She also told the court about a $130,000 hush money payment she secured when he ran for president in 2016
The judge denied a mistrial request by Trump's lawyer, who argued Daniels' testimony about the encounter was irrelevant and would inflame the jury
Daniels testified she was eager to collect on the deal that bought her silence because she was worried he would not pay her if he won the election
Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records to cover up the hush-money payment to Daniels
Trump has denied ever having sex with Daniels
So, according to Trump, he is kind of saying "who? that person there? Who is she?" and on the payments "What payments you say?". Interesting defence, unfortunately it is very likely that the accusation has evidence of at minimum the payment. The fact that Trump had sex with Stormy - who persistently calls Trump "tiny" - does not really need to be proven, Trump is not accusing of fucking blondes, he is accused of falsifying accounts and the problem with that is that these leave records. Some cute details about "Stormy´s" stormy declaration: She told the New York jury about the alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump and the $130,000 hush money payment she secured when he ran for president in 2016. Daniels said she was worried he would not pay her if he won the November 2016 election. Jurors saw documents that showed she canceled the deal in mid-October but later revived it. Trump leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed as Necheles challenged Daniels’ account about being threatened in a parking lot in 2011 to not tell her story about the alleged encounter with Trump. "The next thing I know is that I was on the bed... I had my clothes and my shoes off. I believe my bra was still on. We were missionary position for -- " Daniels said, before being cut off by an objection.
She said Trump was not wearing a condom, which was concerning, but she didn't say anything. Trump then dared Daniels to spank him on his rear, and she obliged.
“He was much more polite after that,” Daniels said. An this last sentence I think the judge should be learning from. Trump is much more polite after you spank his but. That´s about the face you get after a good one! Well done old boy! |

Read on the news that Russia is preparing to strike UK assets, have they made it close to Gibraltar or Guernsey or are they taking the other route, crossing the Volga, Urals, the Atlantic and then a surprise attack through Greenland and Ireland right on St Patrick?
That would be really nasty, I would need to prepare and do stuff, I have a netflix subscription I'm going to cancel if they will only show russian movies!
I am not sure what do they mean. UK weapons have already been used in Crimea and according to Putin, Crimea is Ruzzia  They already killed a guy with Novichok even before the war in UK. Hybrid warfare cuts both ways though. Ruzzia will not claim the attack... an the UK will deny any use of their weapons in Ruzzia I guess. The interesting thing is that they will need to make sure that it is actually an UK asset, because half of UK is property of the plutocrats an most likely Putin himself. Well, would it not be super to give the UK a excuse to re-posses part of Putin´s assets as war reparations? Hey, look, another Ukrainian glide bomb "not working" https://t.me/officer_alex33/2745[...] Ukraine's new weapon is all that it has left. It's called, terrorist attacks. These terrorist attacks are similar to guerilla warfare. Why is Ukraine doing this? They don't have anything or people left to do anything else. If Russia started doing this in Ukraine, It would be all over by now. But of course, the Russian attacks on Ukraine infrastructure - power plants, ammunition dumps, military factories - are far beyond anything that Ukraine is doing to Russia. Even with the few military people sent from the US and Nato, if they don't join in the fighting themselves, but are there for training purposes, there aren't any Ukrainian troops left to train. They are all gone... to the tune of almost 600,000 Ukrainian troops dead. Nato, especially, is scared to send any of their troops in with figures like that.  There is not a single sentence in there that is remotely true. |

^^^ Trump shouldn't be immune from having the facts presented. He shouldn't be any more immune than the prosecution is from their crimes. In these cases against Trump, the cases should be thrown out because of prosecution criminal activity in the cases. And, not only that. The prosecution should prosecuted for their blatant attempts to withhold evidence and a whole host of illegal activity that they are doing. In all cases where material is presented to the court, there needs to be a chain of signatures and affidavits by EVERYBODY who handles or moves the material... signatures on affidavits explaining what they did with the materials and where they moved them. If the chain is broken, it means that the materials could have been tampered with in the breaking of the chain of handlers. These cases against Trump need to be thrown out. "Stunning On Multiple Levels": DOJ Admits To Evidence Tampering In Trump Classified Docs Caselol "admits evidence tampering" Sites like freedomphoenix are tampering with your brain. The prosecutors gave the defense a batch of evidence with some of the documents out of order. Imagine how desperate Trump and the media must be to have to use this as a defense. Update of substance: They found pictures of the classified documents that Trump took to Florida after he lost the election and then lied to the government about his personal valets (and co defendent) phone. Imagine that. Update of substance 2: Trump was held in contempt for the 10th time today for attacking witnesses and the jury in his criminal trial in NYC for committing fraud to help win the 2016 election. Trump is desperately seeking to get sent to prison for contempt. He would then be able to play the victim to max volume. If I were the judge, I would advise him on a progressive regime of sanctions. First one, 10.000, second one 100.000, thrid one 1Million, fourth one 10 million.... My guess is that he would probably get as far as the fourth one, he still has to pay the NY fines and has many options to end up paying for tax fraud, beyond going to prison or not (probably not). It is much better to punish the bank account and much more difficult to appear as a victim if you are warned of the consequences in advance. Also, money is here and now, other punishments can be possibly challenged or overturned. NY State law caps the fine at $1,000 per violation. So the only two options are $1k fine or lock him up. What's worse, allowing Trump to attack the jury and witnesses, or allowing the circus that will ensue with locking up a former president for a few nights distract from the actual proceeding. Consider this, it won't be possible to prevent the jury from learning that Trump was thrown in jail. But the contempt charges shouldn't be considered in deciding his guilt - which is why all the gag order related motions happen when the jury isn't in the room. Jury bias from the contempt jailing could very well end up being Trumps strongest and only non-frivolous argument to make in appeals if he's convicted. Oh... then he is going to keep going at the jury and judge and their families no doubt. He wants to end up in jail and 1000 per tweet is just change for his campaing donators. If the judge really gives a go to sending him to prison, it will be a circus but... oh, the memes would be really awesome. I am thinking of one picking up the soap from the shower and one eating lunch with the former capitol assaulters. |

Obviously you would not lend to Ruzzia at the same rates as Germany nor you would expect re-structuring from Germany .Again, you are not going to enlighten anyone here about credit ratings.
Ukraine is a perfectly viable independent country in economic terms if the war is ended correctly. You know this, Putin knows this and you both want to avoid this outcome at all costs by asking for a surrender while calling it "peace".
Try to be honest for once will you? You were clearly giving credibility to options about the Ukrainian glide bombs and the western weaponry in terms of "not working". Would you like then to retract and say they are not working 100%?
Particularly, what degree of "not working" and the S300 S400 being enough to deal with the western supplied missiles do you claim? And what degree of "not working" do you attribute to the French glide bombs smashing the east bank of the dnipro?
Meh comparing default risks of Germany vs Russia is not interesting, now Russian war bonds vs. Ukrainian war bonds on a free market would be for a far more interesting conversation. Ukraine was a perfectly viable country in economic terms in 2013, and there was peace and overall prosperity in EU. You know this, and EU knows this, but US decided to change that status quo with some sweet cookies that some naive people fell for and fuck the EU, EU didn't have the balls to stop it so now we're all paying the consequences. [...][/url] Once again i'm not a military expert to comment on the specifics, i just collect credible reports from multiple sources and report it here. If you have credible reports that claim otherwise, that Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs work amazingly for Ukraine do share them, otherwise unless you reveal yourself as some war general or top military strategist, i'll believe media reports over your opinion. Honestly i don't see what you're so held up on, are you just incapable of admitting that some weapons might not work for Ukraine, is that it? There are no reports that ATACMS don't work (there are other issues with them mainly cost and availability but effectiveness doesn't seem to be one of them), yet there are plenty that GLSDB and Excalibur are not effective. Either provide a more credible source claiming otherwise or stop spreading misinformation with your random opinions and pictures/videos. Even from some UA source defence-ua.com  Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was supposed to become one of Ukraine's farthest-reaching strike weapons, enabling Ukrainian forces to launch strikes 150 km deep inside russian rear on par with ATACMS missiles. However, in practice GLSDB has shown low effectiveness, as follows from the vague words by William LaPlante, Pentagon's Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, he attributed the poor performance to the electronic warfare factor, as well as this weapon's general application tactics and doctrine. Well, you know, never to late to grow balls. Europe is slow, but is not immobile and the risk of Trump as president - pretty much Putin´s wet dreams made true - is certainly creating the conditions for a nuclear able Germany. It think that Europe could create a programme for, let´s say 1000 strategic warheads, so next time it can talk to Ruzzia with some "backup". I am not sure that Trump understands that if Europe feels undefended the non-proliferation is over. I am not sure where did they get the idea that a glide bomb can be thrown 150 km behind the front... or maybe I am not reading correctly. It simply does not make sense, ATACAMS have a much larger range... bombs are not really that sensitive to EW... I am not sure where they got all that. Again, you say you are not an expert, but at the same time you are giving credibility to all the opinions that match your narrative, so I am going to make the question again - the one you do not want to answer: To what degree do you think ATACAMS will "not work" and to what degree do you think glide bombs "do not work".I think that Ukraine has new weapons and has a proper strategy to use them: 1. Make the war costly for Ruzzia. Attrition in vehicles, people and oil&gas facilities. 2. Start degrading Ruzzian airforce to an unacceptable level. 3. degrade sufficiently Ruzzian air defence. 4. Keep on destroying the Black Sea fleet to the point that is useless. 5. Prepare for an offensive in 2025 - 26. 6. Obviously, avoid loosing key holds. |

[...] Now ask yourself why would BlackRock hire lawyers and be willing to forgive a big chunk of debt just for at least some payments, but right now? Perhaps of the kindness from their pure hearts or ...  [...] The reason i didn't punch Muhammad Ali is because i was afraid of escalations with him. Otherwise, if he wouldn't escalate and fight back, he'd run crying to his mamma  classic paxmao There is nothing to ask about. You may be discovering how high-yield bonds work, but many of us already know. Ukraine will pay debt and quite a bit of it will be forgiven in exchange for XYZ. I said this many times, there are winners in this war but they are not Ruzzia, Ukraine nor Europe. All thanks to Putin´s "great geostrategic vision" that has made Gazprom loose money for the first time in 20 years, expand NATO faster than ever and burn through the Soviet weapons legacy platforms faster than ever. But hey, I would not be surprised if Putin had a significant stake in Blackrock funds through some opaque scheme of companies and actually profiting from Ukraine´s debt. He is not going to die for it, the Ruzzian soldiers do.Overall, Ruzzia is left with more enemies, Putin is probably making more money than ever and if all goes to plan Ukraine will have their independence and perhaps some generations of peace to build a country - likely under the NATO umbrella. Who are the true losers here? The average Ruzzian / Federated citizen and the families of the Ruzzian mercenaries. Your other comment is stupid, classic daRude. NATO is not for now deploying troops under the NATO structure or mandate because there is no interest nor incentive in that type of escalation. It is much simpler to allow Ruzzia to be as incompetent as they are and self-demilitarise for a few farms and flattened minor cities for which the US has little interest.The return on investment for the aid to Ukraine is excellent. Please, keep up the military incompetence, it makes the world a safer place.This below is probably the tiny tiny bit of an iceberg of Putin assets in "the west" that he claims he is fighting. Billions in assets. Hint: not in Ruzzia And his brood is said to be living in Switzerland. Give whatever credit you want to this, is not really that relevant. https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-children-alina-kabaeva-keeps-them-hidden-in-luxury-report-2023-3Learn what citations are, and do not attribute my citations to me.  Oh i see, when you read my citations claiming some system doesn't work you assume a 100% failure and thus feel the need to provide evidence of at least one or two that did work to prove them wrong? No that's not how warfare works at all, there's this whole the sword and the shield concept, where efficiency of of some new weapon is limited in time before countermeasures are developed. In March, Daniel Patt, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, told Congress the GPS-guided Excalibur artillery shells "had a 70% efficiency rate hitting targets when first used in Ukraine" but that "after six weeks, efficiency declined to only 6% as the Russians adapted their electronic-warfare systems to counter it."
Patt said at the time that "the peak efficiency of a new weapon system is only about two weeks before countermeasures emerge." So for example excalibers work in Ukraine, so no need to find videos, but only in 6%. If you feel GMLRS work in Ukraine sure go argue with Pentagon and tell Ukraine to request more of GMLRS instead of some other weapons for the next weapon delivery batch. High yield? You mean junk-bonds? The problem is that no one believes that Ukraine can survive for longer than it would take for Russia to "self-demilitarise" as you claim (it's obvious now that China won't allow it and for many other reasons). Thus the outcome is clear, so the options really are either make peace now, or keep fighting "to the last Ukrainian" waste more lives and get worse terms just to get Russia to "self-demilitarise" a tiny bit more. You don't see a conflict of interest here between the interest of the "west" and the Ukrainian people? Obviously you would not lend to Ruzzia at the same rates as Germany nor you would expect re-structuring from Germany .Again, you are not going to enlighten anyone here about credit ratings.

Pregnancy shouldn't be considered an extension of the woman's body, but a living being inside their bodies until developing all the necessary biological conditions to live outside the mother's belly. Therefore, it's not about 'your body not being yours anymore', but about having the responsability that due to an act of sex without protection, it has brought consequences which have to be embraced and taken until the end.
If the mother doesn't care or have love for the baby, completely rejecting it, then another measures could be discussed by a conscious and fair society (which isn't the case of the modern relativist world nowadays), like for an example, forwarding this baby for adoption, while at same time making sure that woman does all the necessary medical procedures to not get pregnant anymore in the future, since it's not something she wants for her life.
This way, babies don't have to be sacrificed, neither women who don't want to be mothers have to be.
And for those who really care and are concerned about their daughters, instead of teaching them the path of abortion, teach them the path of sex with meaning, the path of love, and if it's too hard to see through this point of view, try to teach at least the path of safe sex, otherwise, there will be unavoidable consequences which even abortion can't erase from their lives...
That´s your view and you are free to live with it, you are not free to impose it on others. You are not anyone to basically say it is their own fault if they have a pregnancy - you did not even consider it could be rape uh?? See, this is what several generation of women have fought against and here we are, at risk of being told like little children what it moral by a bunch of people like this poster here. This is Trump in action - do not lie to women. This is what has brought million of women in history to illegal clinics to die or have irreversible damages because, in the end, you cannot force them to have children if they do not want to. My guess... lots of abortion clinics will open in Mexico. Good to Make Mexico Great Again I guess. Isn't it necessary to also consider the risks involved on the course of evacuating childs from their mothers womb? I don't know about others opinion but I think if anyone doesn't want to have a child either unwanted or wedlock, then you should be prepared and Concious on at your sexual intercourse.
The intentions of Trump could be to safe and existing life of a mother considering the risks and the other way round, I think there's no different in murderer cases and abortion a baby alive form the mothers womb.
This might literally not be about religious beliefs and sentiments are we could think.
Tell that to the women. If they are convinced by your points they have the choice. It is not pro-abortion, it is pro-CHOICE. |

Why spread misinformation and lies? Is it because you’re ignorant and have no idea what you’re talking about? Did you just make this up and decide to post it thinking it was smart? Are you laughably misinformed by some liberal propaganda machine posing as a news outlet?
Trump is about state rights and has said time and again that the Federal government should stay out of the abortion issue. Pretending he wants to rule one way or another federally about abortion is idiotic.
The problem is that Trump can say what is convenient during the campaign and do what is convenient during the presidency. It would not be the first time that he changes the discourse. That is one of the problems of being so unstable. But in the end what matters is the electoral support. He will chose whatever delivers his goals and if a sufficient number of Republicans are in favour of a national ban he will have no issue exchanging that for some other crazy legislation of his choice. I literally just told you that Trump has stated many times that this is a state issue and not a federal issue and then you come out and say the same lies… Let me say it again because it clearly isn’t sinking in. Donald Trump has 0 intention of banning abortion nationwide and has repeatedly said it will be left up to the states. You know who is interested in a nationwide abortion ruling? Joe Biden. Why do Democrats always accuse others of doing what they’re trying to do? It is fine to have a nationwide abortion ruling. It will prevent poor women in ban-states to have to die in illegal abortionists clinics or having to go on a cheap bus hundreds of miles after suffering an operation and getting in debt just because they do not feel they can have a child at that moment. You accuse of lying, but that is just words with no backup so I am sensing some desperation here. You know that Trump has been instating in every occasion judges that would perfectly accept a nationwide ban, you know that evangelists and Methodists are a significant part of his supporters and they are religious extremists willing to impose their ideas on women´s uterus. Women in the US may want to risk it, who knows... or maybe they will decide to put priest´s and extremists in the trollcage they belong, ranting in TwitterX about how they lost unfairly. |

I find it a bit weird that the OP is speaking of bitcoin as "store of value", what we all understand as "digital gold" but this is not really in line with using bitcoin for transferring betting money regularly because the fees make it nearly impossible, even with a lighting channel open or the like. I would say that any other crypto is more useful for that specific case of use. But there is a case to have bitcoin in an exchange and convert to bet.

Some news recently said that a few Nepalese volunteers left ("deserted") because of the conditions they had. When a Nepalese guy deserts you army due to "conditions", it is the moment to think what is going on.
But regardless, yes, the Ruzzian army tends not to be Ruzzian, but rather from any of the regions made poor by the regime. If they take Ukraine, they will use Ukrainians against others as well. This is a classic - you do not want to recruit in Moscow or St Petersburg or you may get revolts, you go recruit in Chechenia, Siberia,... and of course internationally in Nepal, China,...
But what is the catch? 2000 usd a month is like a dream come true for half the world right? Well, the catch is that you get paid only while you are alive, so there is a very good incentive to send then to the most dangerous meatwaves. If only 1 out of 20 make it alive the payroll is only 5%.
After all, thats why Rooineks recruited Ukrainians to fight for them The reason why NATO is not involved fully in the Ukrainian war yet is to prevent escalation. Otherwise, you will be celebrating glorious victories of the Ruzzians 10 km from Moscow. Putin knows this perfectly well. I guess Branko that being Ukrainian and having their own country makes better sense to Ukrainians than getting sent by the Ruzzians against Letonians, Lithuanians or Finnish. NATO is not involved? Seems you lived under a rock for last 10+ years, or maybe you have some strange definition of "involnment" And NATO is not 10km from Moscow because your whole island would be sent to meet Aquaman Read what is written, do not put words in my mouth. I do not have an island, I guess you are speaking of Great Britain. Sorry if I am breaking this to you, but plenty of the children of the Ruzzian "elite" study in the UK and plenty of their assets are conveniently hidden and sometimes not hidden in the UK. As far as you are concern, I am a copy of a brain uploaded into an AI living in a world cluster of cloud servers. Just read "The Neuromancer" to understand. The nuclear deterrence cuts both ways. Today it seems that all the worthless Western weapons that according to daRude "do not make a difference", "do not work", etc. have "not worked" as far as Mariupol. This is despite daRude assuring everyone here that ATACAMS and all the rest would be stopped by the S300 / 400. I think that Ruzzia should now try an strategy that Facebook and Twitter followed - renaming e.g. S400 to S500 or even to "S-600 Putin-plus airdefence" so that they start being effective against NATO supplies. I am just waiting for the F16 to "not work".

A little bit off topic, but I just read the Kremlin has started to recruit people fromm una in order to keep the war going in the eastern front. Specifically, people from Cuba (where minimum wage is less than 30$) is being kured through internet to join the Russian army in exchange of a salary of 2000$ and the possibility to apply for Russian nationality.
I had heard Ukraine was alledgely running out of people to fight the war, but I did not expect something similar could be happening in Russia.
Obviously, It has been already proven an important percentage of Russians are not willing to get in the front, otherwise many young men would have not fled the country as they did at the beginning of the conflict.
Regardless of what it is actually going on, I doubt those cuban men are fully aware of what they are getting themselves into, though, I would not judge them if they monthly payment in their island is less than what anyone of us would easily spend for dinner.

Nepal’s foreign ministry in December urged Russia to stop recruiting Nepali citizens and send home the remains of those killed in the war.
“We are very much concerned that Russia has recruited our citizens and sent them to war zones in vulnerable situations,” Nepali Foreign Minister N. P.

The Nepalese government only allows joining the Brit army, they have their own units, the Ghurkhas, which are considered among the best prepared for combat. There are 100s of applicants for each available place and they have been known to continue fighting even with 90% loses. |

he estado pensando sobre el tema y hay algo que me hace ruido.
¿Quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para tener liquidez o quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para evitar perder en el siguiente desplome del precio?
Si la idea es convertirlo para evitar perdidas en el reajuste de mercado entonces podrías plantearte el pasarlo a una moneda estable como USDT. Y si por otro lado lo que buscas es liquidez, entonces podrías plantearte la opción de comprar oro directo con bitcoin. El oro sigue siendo algo fácil de vender.
Quiero reducir mi posicion en bitcoin porque se ha vuelto excesiva en comparacion con otras posiciones y mi equlibrio economico en general. Es posible q use la pasta para comprar otras cositas y creo q voy a vender bastante de aqui a unos años, no tengo prisa pero habria q ir viendo opciones. Creo q convertir bitcoin en oro se sigue considerando como que has vendido bitcoin y has comprado oro asique no creo que me valga hacer eso. Mi residencia fiscal y mis ciudadanias actuales estan en paises q no te persiguen hasta la tumba. |

Hey... another Ukrainian glide bomb "not working". https://t.me/osirskiy/671Perhaps I misunderstood what kind of investment or business we are talking about then. Did those companies have stakes on Ukraine before or after the war started? Because to this day I had assume most if not all of the war funding coming to Ukraine was being collected by the United States, though the Internal Revenue Service.
If Blackrock and other conglomerates had stakes on Ukraine before the war, in industrial sectors which do not have anything to do with the war effort, then it is different situation than giving money to Ukraine after the war starter, for them to be able to buy ammo and weapons.
Also, I have seen other posts here in the forum on the alledged plan of Blackrock to be part on the rebuilding of Ukraine as soon as the war is over, though, I am not sure about implications of a foreign private entity like that assisting a sovereign country. It would make more sense in the European Union agreed on letting Ukraine to become a member and contribute economically in the recovering of the country.
Investment funds do not fund wars as such, they seek opportunities wherever these are. Thanks to Putin, it is very likely that Ukraine will be rebuilt by a combination of European and US companies. The investment funds allocate the investors money (which may even be of the Ruzzian elites!!) to whatever project or business looks good - and Ukraine will be full of opportunity for business and people if it can be made strong enough as to have Ruzzia not coming back. Seriously, sometimes I think that Putin is a CIA agent, he has done more for the US weapons industry and for NATO expansion and for US investment than any US president! The funds to Ukraine, as this may surprise you, come mostly for Europe (I am not sure if right now they are par with US) as state aid. They pay two main things: a) the general spending of the country and the state b) The military aid. However, the military aid is not sent as money (this is what dumBAss does not get), it is spend in the US and European factories and the products are sent to Ukraine. |

It's somehow strange to see DaRude constantly wasting his time to defend RuZZIa's war against Ukraine.
Why is he wasting his time to defend RuZZia's war against Ukraine?
Why should someone waste his life time to root for Putler in an online forum?
Why does he want to dictate Ukrainians to just surrender against Putler?
Would he do the same if he was in a position how Ukraine is today, that he will listen to someone who just wants to do whatever dictatorship Russia will impose over Ukraine?
Once again, what a waste of time to defend RuZZian war crimes in an online forum.
I hope DaRude getting paid handsomely, at least.
Rather simple answer, to minimize suffering and loss of life. Rooting for or defending one side or another is only good for sport competition, when real lives are involved one needs to be pragmatic. Discussing what's ethical wrong/right for Ukraine is as good as discussing what's ethical wrong/right for independent self governing Cuba. Needlessly dragging out this conflict has real costs in human lives and is just criminal. Now BlackRock/bondholders/money is smelling the smoke and wants a cut from the $60B for Ukraine, trying to get at least something before it's too late Bondholders to Push Ukraine to Resume Debt Payments After Hiatus ignore at your peril So Ukraine has literal investors and big corporations/especulators of Wall Street as backers... That is something I was not quite aware of and it could be indeed a problem for the Ukrainian government and the people of that country to have those kind of benefactors... They do not care at all for the Ukrainian motherland, at all. They just want to have their money back and have those juicy interests from Kiev, they are in a business after all, not a charity... I thought most of the money going to Ukraine was being paid indirectly by the American people and the taxpayers from the European Union, it is a completely different to owe money to a state than having to pay to a corporation or a conglomerate of capitalists and business people. Though, as long as the government of the United States continues to keep a positive standing in favor of the defense of Ukraine, then Kiev could be able to deal a favorable payment plan for those companies and conglomerates. Why are you surprised that the largest investors in the world, who own stakes in nearly any business out there also have stakes in Ukraine? These are not "benefactors", they are investment funds that look for business where ever they can find an opportunity. Ukraine eventually will have to repay the debt like any other country. Even Ruzzia was paying the bonds until it defaulted due to being excluded from the payment mechanisms. |

It seems that Ukraine has received gliding bombs from US and these are being used in the front. These have been a major Ruzzian advantage and Ukraine does not have a good answer to them (likely to change when some f16 arrive). There are being used to soften fortifications and cause chaos before the meatwaves. It is interesting how Ukraine may be able to use this strategy. Again my guess, they are going to have f16s on patrol well behind the front and use HARM (some have a range of 150 km) to destroy any radar that lights up and use the old soviet planes to throw glide bombs. It may perfectly work. Has Ruzzia claimed the "attack" or are you making it up? In any case, it is good that Europe understand the true intentions of Putin, it will help people understand that we cannot longer hope for peace instead of creating deterrence. Who knows, Germany may clean the dust from their old files on how to create nukes. Curiously, from friendly phone talks, Macron is now voicing out the possibility of sending troops to Ruzzia, which is likely to happen if some hybrid attack happens in France. What is certain is that the AASM 250 & 1000KG French glide bombs have been used near Krinky. These demolished some drone operator buildings in one hit. Edited: It seems that a SU25 got shot down. Let's ignore the range of Russia's S-300 and S-400, and Russian air-to-air R-37 missile. Let's not listen how everyone is saying that F16s don't have a fighting chance given Russia's air-defense systems. and how Much-vaunted US-supplied glide bombs given to Ukraine “didn’t work”, the Pentagon has admitted. and that Russian forces have hit on a cheap way to foil US precision weapons in Ukraine, The new weapon, rapidly delivered to Ukraine, has repeatedly failed in combat, a US official said. or the fact that US won't even allow Ukraine to use F16 to hit SAMs or aircraft inside Belarus or Russia US Doesn't Support Ukraine Using American Weapons in Russia: Ambassador. We all totally believe you that few old fourth generation fighters will defeat all Russian SAMs and 4th and 5th gen fighters. Perhaps it's time to realize that this is beyond some silly pride and admitting being wrong, and to stop senseless losses you should follow the Ukrainian command and start pivoting towards negotiation ( Ukraine peace talks alternative to inevitable battlefield defeat, says senior general) instead of peddling yet another "game changer" weapon Take a break put emotions aside, and give it a thought, that's all i'm saying. I am sure that Ruzzian people and pilots feel very comforted by you precision-targeting words. And I am sure the ground forces are very happy that the gilding bombs "do not work". We may be seeing a few videos of Ukrainian glide bombs "not working" along the next months. https://youtu.be/7KGEkYhw1pA?t=94 However: 1. There is abundant photographic evidence of S400 & S300 being destroyed by ATACAMS - curiously, one of the threat they are supposed to destroy. 2. The good thing about F16 is that they are linked with the NATO systems. AWACS, satellites and nearly every mean of detection out there can provide the target and the F16 can send "a present" to the Ruzzia Air-defence forces beyond their range. Oh, you can of course bring the S300 closer to the front, that would be a great idea... what could go wrong? As usual, your hand picked set of articles tends to ignore some facts replacing them with "opinions". Most of you previous links had also opinions that never materialised in facts so... same old same old. But it does not matter for the troops, they are the ones on the receiving end. There is a strategy in place, supplies and the will to carry it out. Not bad for "loosing". Oh, I am happy that the Ruzzian ambassador is saying that the US does not support the use of US weapons in Ruzzia. He would no lie, would he? And the US would not lie about that either, would they?

None of that is true. You do not seek peace, you seek surrender. You use all the news that are partial to one side, which means that you are seeking peace in very specific terms - Putin terms. do be such a hypocrite, it is embarrassing.The peace you seek is just a stop to rearm Ruzzia and get the war going again in a few years. |

It probably does not come out in your official TV channels, so it is ok if you just do not know what is happening in Ukraine, nor probably further 1 km away from your own living place.
Obviously, he should listen to propaganda channel like VOA to get "real" info. LOL Branko, are you saying that the dam I said was attacked by Ruzzia was not attacked by Ruzzia or just making casual comments? |

Hasta donde sé, incluso si renuncias a la ciudadanía americana, el IRS todavía te tiene por 10 años después de la renuncia, así que una persona que renunciase a su ciudadanía en 2010 aun tendría obligaciones tributarias hasta el 2020, medida creada a partir de la gran cantidad de personas que están renunciando a su ciudadanía no solo por los impuestos, también lo hacen porque muchos bancos e instituciones financieras en otros países rechazan a los ciudadanos americanos porque no quieren lidiar con la legislación americana, ahora bien, habría que ver si Roger Ver declaró sus impuestos en su país de residencia y ver si ese país tiene un acuerdo con los EU para evitar el doble cobro de impuestos, cosa que dudo si ese país es un paraíso fiscal.
A la mierda, ese dato si que no lo tenia, pense que solamente llegaba a la cuestion de seguir tributando aunque no seas residente pero si ciudadano, pero esta salvajada de los 10 años no la sabia, es aspera la cosa. Bueno esos kilotones de freedom no se van a pagar solos...... jajajaja o que te vayan a buscar al fin del mundo si te tocan como muestran las peliculas tampoco Sip, USA y Eritrea, pero USA te persigue de verdad. Lo de los kilotones me recuerda a un dicho de los marines: "nuestro enemigo está a punto de descubrir porque no podemos permitirnos un sistema de salud publica". |

Sobre lo resaltado en negrita, acabamos de ver las noticias de Roger Ver detenido en España, por que le acusan de no haber pagado impuestos de hace como 10 años. El IRS es absurdo el tema, de que te persigue por todo el mundo. Pero tengo entendio que Roger Ver ya no tiene nacionalidad de USA, si no de St Kitts, entonces no se por razon el IRS Aun insiste. Quiza al ser una cantidad ingente (50M) no ha prescrito.

Ahora sobre el asunto del pago de impuestos, hay países que tienen en sus leyes que si un activo en particular se mantiene en tu posesión por un determinado tiempo, entonces puedes no pagar impuestos al vender esos activos y esto es completamente legal, así que si paxmao tiene evidencia de esas compras, como parece ser el caso, entonces me parece que podría haber una manera de disminuir su carga fiscal. No quiero dar muchas pistas sobre quien soy o donde ando, pero en mi pais actual puedo liquidar cantidades pequeñas sin pagar impuestos y es legal. Con eso puedo liquidar lo que no he comprado y listo. La cosa es bajar impuestos todo lo posible en lo comprado y q es totalmente visible. Respecto a la ciudadania... bueno, una cosa es la ciudadania y otra cosa es la residencia fiscal. Aquí es donde creo q hay bastantes matices segun el pais, pero es casi un universo de legislación. Hay dos paises de los q no puedes "escapar" incluso si no "resides" alli por lo visto USA y Eritrea. Aunque España si tienes vivienda, la familia en España o similar te dice que a pagar en España. |
