You are wrong. US presidents often rise in popularity when they wage war. Ruzzia population at several levels were supportive of the war at the beginning. Wake up  and try to read some proper information - do you need more confirmation that you are NOT better informed, smarter or more moral than the rest of the users here dumbass?

By the way, it seems that quite a few incidents are ongoing with the Ruzzian civil aviation. It seems that they are "patching" here and there the components, so I would not be surprised to see metal raining from the Ruzzia skies.




Those polls are stupid anyway...they should be done in a way that answer "yes" means you immediately get
a gun and go to a trench...I bet results would be MUCH different

Sure Branko, and in an imaginary land in which that were true, there would be many less wars. But that is not the world we live in, people may vote (I mean, where they can vote, not in Ruzzia) for others less fortunate or more ambitious to go to war and they do. So polls are not stupid and the leaders of nations do understand the cover-up effect of going to war. Putin certainly knows.

Edited to add: have you seen the fireworks in Volgograd?

the thread caught my attention because I thought there are many sites without KYC, or They don't require that identification to operate, but I see that now getting a place like this is almost impossible
You are totally right.
It's almost impossible to find a crypto casino or a centralized service that will never ask you to verify your identity at some point even if they claim they won't.
Just recently, a new member complained on the scam accusation board about a casino for asking him to pass kyc after winning (obviously) although they have a huge banner on their main page stating that they are a kyc-free casino!

Finding no KYC is already difficult, I mean, finding reputable sites that have the right comments and support in the forum and we can more or less have some trust in them. The bonus is just cream of top since it is doubly beneficial to get the bonus without having to do so many explanations, proffs, etc... that sometimes are just a excuse to keep our money or keep it "in custody" for months.

Well, if you look at what's been happening around the world, you'll see that copying and pasting has become much more normal than it seems, but there are limits, of course. for example in cars, when a company like toyota makes a new car, the other competing company like ford makes a car model similar to the toyota car, it just has some differences in the design and features, but the body of the car It's the same, other companies like Mazda also copy what their competitors do and only make some changes. This happens with physical casinos, they hire the best designers to build the casino, but within the casino, the promotions, features, the way employees act are the same as in other physical casinos.

look at the cryptocurrency market for example, when they created bitcoin, copies such as litecoin soon followed, when they created anonymity altcoins such as monero, many other altcoins soon followed. When they created mixers, many mixers soon appeared that were copies. In the case of crypto casinos, it would not be any different either, because it is difficult for a new casino not to follow the standard that was created in this industry. When I talk about the standard I'm talking about a sign-up bonus, a flashy design with lots of colors and photos of athletes from many sports, so a new casino that offers slot games and sports betting, it will have a similar design to the other casinos and will offer the same things that other casinos already offer

There are not many new features to offer, now the most important thing is that the new casinos are honest, not scam casinos and at least casinos with fast support. I believe that when we see a casino with a support phone number that supports many major languages and that casino has a physical headquarters in a country, then we will be seeing true innovation in the world of online casinos

Yeah, is not just in gambling, even in music lots is made using algos that take some from here, some from there and make "new song" that sound just too much the same as older successful ones. However, there is a caveat in just copying because if they do not know why they do it and why it works they will not understan why it may stop to be good or how to improve it.

Pretty awesome way to giving back to the community, that must've a lot of money that he's got from his job that he doesn't know what to do with it and so he just goes for this kind of stuff, doing competitions and such. That's something that I aspire to be one day, when I finally have a great career or maybe even just retire with a lot of money and I hope that I'm not the only one that aspires to be that guy because those competitions seems pretty awesome to me.
It is commonly said here in my country that when you put a sugar inside the mouth of a child, he or she does not spit it out, this I believe is exactly the case here, I read the op and I myself too look forward to the day I wil become like that man being discussed, but another thing here is that, we all know it's easy for people to see a rich and wealthy man and want to become like him, but we usually care not to know what they did go through before he arrived at that enviable position.

This is why i usually tell people to work hard to create their kind of wealth and riches, instead of wanting to become another person.

And by the way, I am finding it pretty difficult to believe that what the man of doing can be referred to as gambling, he's simply hosting a competition and not gambling, for the fact that the participants are not brining any stake to the table makes the whole thing or event a competition not gambling.

A quite interesting case here. I am not very inclined to causes and I mostly think that people who are do think of it either as a war of clearing some imaginary sins or to thank some imaginary entity that has "blessed them or, in some cases, they feel really good when they help others because somehow they feel unfairly fortunate. Charity is fine anyway, whatever the reason, because it helps the community equally.

But that's the kind of people you like, right? Back stabbers.

If you believed your country was still a Democracy (and you clearly don't), you'd realise the lunatic you're rooting for is the one betraying all the principles your nation was founded upon.  

You are mistaken. America is a Republic. The so-called government is the Democracy. The 6th and 7th Amendments to the Constitution allow a 12-person jury of the Republic to strike down any Government law... with relation to the court circumstances to which they allow themselves to be called.

Cool

I have told you a million times: youtube is not a credible source of information in general, but those channels that you seen to be following are probably the humour section of some short of outlet.

6th
Quote
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

7th
Quote
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

There absolutely nothing of what you say on this nor any other amendment. A jury cannot fucking "strike down" any law dumbass, much on the contrary, they have to decide on specific questions about the charges following the criteria setforth in the common law.

Go to kindergarten dumbass.

The war is not popular in any major country. Do you think the Ukrainian people like it? It wasn't easy for the millions who migrated out of Ukraine just to get away from war. They would have rather stayed home in peace.

But just to show everybody where you are, you seem to like the war, just like your buddy Zelensky... along with the ruling elite of the world and their military war machines. Kill off the few Ukrainians that are left, before they simply fail, and Russia is shown to be the good guy by going in and helping them out with reparations.

Governments are made ups of supposed leaders. They are not made up of the people/citizens. Most of the citizens don't want war. It's the leaders that want war.

Wake up.

Well, make up your mind. Either you believe Russian news, or you don't. Since you seem to believe it in this post ^^, you should really consider believing that Russia is trying to liberate Ukraine from US domination, like they have said.


Cool

You can't read either? Where in my post does it say that this information if from Ruzzian sources dumbass?

https://aviationsourcenews.com/analysis/11-air-incidents-in-russia-in-eight-days-civilian-crash-inevitable/

Quote
Following its audit of Russia’s flight safety last September, The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) issued it with “red flag” status, ranking it alongside Bhutan, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and Liberia as one of the four most dangerous countries to fly in the world.

“Unfortunately, the ICAO red flag status is not just a political gesture as many believe,” one aviation expert told Novaya-Europe, asking to remain anonymous. “It reflects how things really are.”

The ICAO is an international organisation that is only about preserving the reputation of the air transportation industry and is quite strict (in general) regarding the safety of flights to make sure people know what they are doing when taking a plane. In general, takes a neutral approach (not always) caring only about following regulations on safety.

Quote
What is the significant safety concern of ICAO Russia?
Russia's actions, including illegally double-registering aircraft stolen from European leasing companies and operating aircraft on international routes without a valid safety certificate, led to ICAO issuing a Serious Safety Concern (SSC) against Russia, declaring aviation in Russia to be fundamentally unsafe

Now, this does mention a Ruzzian source, see the difference?

There have been a vast number of cases in recent months of Russian domestic passenger planes making emergency landings due to technical issues, driven by a lack of spare parts.

According to Russian Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev, the country has lost 76 passenger jets since February 2022, due to Western sanctions.

I will not quote the Ukrainian sources that say they hacked the databases and found nearly 200 incidents, etc...

I guess sanctions do reach parts of the economy.

Glad we're at least partially on the same page. Only i don't think journalists have anything to do with the planning or the outcome whatsoever, they're just mostly pushing whichever propaganda and they're usually a good indicator of whats to come as they're typically used to set the mood/pivot the population before official announcements. As for the generals, the pentagon and NATO overall, either not sending enough weapons to win was just a silly coincidence/misunderstanding/miscalculation and only now, after almost two years of war generals have to make a decision as you claim, or that decision has already been made a while ago and those hundreds of generals get their funding from (career) politicians which are mostly interested in keeping the power or enough popularity to get re/elected. For the upside Putin having a sudden heart attack and Russia falling apart is a huge upside, Russia had control of those Ukrainian bases which are "closer to the EU" all the way up to 2014, and no one really cared much, so why not try it. Now that we see that it didn't work, oh well not much of a downside. But keeping this going has a real downside of Europe tearing apart, and politicians just loosing their jobs if they continue to vote for unpopular war that's only becoming even more unpopular how can they send more than before if now only 18% of population believe US is not sending enough.

The media push an agenda, which does not necessarily mean is a anti-Ruzzian agenda. I am sure many believe that it would be much better to be cozy with Ruzzia. My view, as said many times, is that Ruzzia wants to get a grip on Europe and it needs to stop somewhere - e.g. right here, right now. Ukrainians are fighting because they believe would be better off without Moscow.

The war is not popular in Ruzzia. I saw the statistics recently in the Economist. The ones that support the war are the richest elites, they are making a lot. All the rest of the population would rather not have it.

On governments in Europe ... I think Europe is fully convinced of supporting Ukraine. On the US government, we will see, because even if Trump gets an "out of jail" card in March, his "ending the war in 48 hours" means the carrot... but make no mistake: there is also a stick attached to it if Putin finds the offer unacceptable.

Russia is producing 85,000 shells a month right now

Russia spends about 20,000 artillery shells daily

Nothing could possibly go wrong with this brilliant strategy.
Ukraine doesn’t produce artillery shells at all and spends 5,000 shells a day, doesn’t anything bother you about this strategy? Grin

Both of those statements are wrong.

The result depends on the degree of support. Ukraine has proven more resilient than expected, Europe an US more willing to confront, Ruzzia less powerful than could be expected... so this is a situation can be broken by sending a proper yearly long aid package. As of now, Ukrainians have done a lot with a very limited supply of weapons and limits to their use.
 
In the end, it depends on how good of ally is US going to be and, to be honest, how smart they are about their own stance in the world if they choose to step back.

Something really strange occurred today with the price of Ural Oil. from 80 to 50 US per barrel.

U.S. and Ukraine Search for a New Strategy After Failed Counteroffensive
...
The Russian military, after its own failed drive to Kyiv in 2022, has begun to reverse its fortunes and is rebuilding its might. Moscow now has more troops, ammunition and missiles, and has increased its firepower advantage with a fleet of battlefield drones, many of them supplied by Iran, according to American officials.
...
The Americans are pushing for a conservative strategy that focuses on holding the territory Ukraine has, digging in and building up supplies and forces over the course of the year. The Ukrainians want to go on the attack, either on the ground or with long-range strikes, with the hopes of seizing the world’s attention.
...
Many Ukrainian leaders do not realize how precarious continued U.S. funding for the war is, American officials said. These Ukrainian generals and senior civilian officials have unrealistic expectations about what the United States will supply, they said. They are asking for millions of rounds of artillery, for example, from Western stockpiles that do not exist.

American officials say Ukraine will have to fight on a tighter budget.

[...]


You have just hit the spot! That is exactly the problem! A bunch of journalists that need to sell newspaper no-matter-what and a bunch of generals, particularly US generals, that are not accountable for the results, will not suffer if Ukraine fails and certainly are not know for being able themselves to "fight with a tight budget" (I laughed a lot on this one coming from US generals) telling Ukraine how they have to fight... inclusive the fantastic doctrine about minefields consisting in "going around them".

OMG... this would be so funny if it were not a war.

The US has to make a decision and there are no shortcuts to it: give enough to hold for ever (uneconomic), give enough to win this war (hurts, but hurts only for a little while) or let Ruzzzia take whatever, which brings another war in 4 years - closer to the US bases in EU.

Go back to kindergarten dumbass.

I just wanted to thank you for respecting me as much as you do. But don't do it. I am just a man like you (or are you a woman?).

We all have ideas and opinions and desires. And we talk harshly to each other to maintain our ideals in strength within us. So, it's understandable that we are going to pick on each other at times.

However, when one calls God imaginary, God perks up His ears a little, and listens to what that joker is saying. So, don't so it... think of or call God imaginary. God is Almighty. He holds your life in His hands. And He won't put up with your denial of Him. Hope and pray that He wakes you up to His existence gently. But for sure, wakes you up in this life.

All people die. At least it seems that way. In the resurrection at the last day, God will provide us all with the knowledge of why He judges us the way He does. It will be based on what we have thought of Him in this life. For those who have denied Him, the punishment will be great.

So, if you are truly a God-denier, change, while you have time. Get into the Bible to find out about God, and the basics of right and wrong and salvation... before it's too late.

Cool

Believe in whatever you want - as humans we do not know many things - but do not think that you have some better reason than others base on a belief, because then is when God becomes "your imaginary friend". It is even immoral.

You actually need to prove facts, is just not enough to "believe". For example, I have evidence that you are a dumbass. so I do not need to believe it.

Just like Trump need to proof someone scammed him, it is not enough to "believe it".

To me it is kind of wacky someone like him would accuse us of ignoring reality or trying to conveniently ignore some political facts because a new Trump presidency would translate to less money to ours respective countries. On one hand, it is true there are some countries which receive economical aid from the United States, specially those in central America... But the wacky parts comes when BADecker points his finger at us without even knowing where we are from.
There is a small chance he believes all the countries around the world receive money from the United States (even sanctioned ones) or perhaps he saw us talking a lil bit of Spanish somewhere else in the forum and only because of that simple observation he extrapolates and assumes we come from a country which would be economical crippled if it was not from USA AID.
Granted, not all the population in USA is that ignorant, but I have found people from that country on the interner who could could not even tell the difference between Mexico and Spain.
Anyways, since Trump does not like to give money away as president (as he implies) I wonder whether Trump will cut social security. I doubt it.

He is not even that smart my friend, he probably thinks I am Ukrainian (which may or may not be true - nationalities come and go).

This dumbass is not accusing me of ignoring reality, he has accused me of being a criminal. I can provide abundant proof of him effectively being a dumbass - so I can perfectly claim that - while he cannot provide any proof of his accusations or, for that mater, for anything else he says.

As far as this forum is concern, I am an AI living in a IP-masked server in a non-mapped Island of the Pacific Ocean. Anyone wanting to argue with me will have to do it with arguments, not attacking who / what I am or where I happen to live at the moment. That's why he is saying all that dumbass shit.

No matter how easy it seems some people can't stop gambling, it's more like a hobby for them and some it's already an addiction, but I am thinking of a less way risky way using your method, what if they stake for monthly returns and they use that for gambling only? What do you think?

They will still have their normal numbers of assets and they will use the gains on gambling, it makes sense as they are using free money to gamble instead of advising them to stay away, mind you, not all gamblers are into gambling because they don't have a job or ways to get passive income.

Some people who are getting paid every week and months are also into gambling, it's not as if lack of job is why everyone is gambling, but having a job is what makes gambling a easy something for me, as I already have good income stream and I am satisfied, but I am still into gambling because I just want to.

Of course, there are people who will addicted, but possibly to anything to be honest: videogames, sitcoms, gambling, tobacco, other stuff... but that does not mean that it cannot be controlled by following some steps but it is the will of the people that matters and people rarely take the first step which is accepting that they are not fully in control of some stuff.

It seems that Ukraine has stopped in a quite expedite and violent way the Ruzzian attempt to attack the Krinki bridgehead on the east bank of the dnipro. One could say that the drone operators of Ukraine basically "work from home". The degree of surveillance and potential to destroy anything in 20 km of Kherson is astonishing - nothing moves without Ukraine knowing. The only exception is the air launched heavy bombs, which are inaccurate but in large quantities so occasionally they hit something of value.

Other bits of the front have also some good news, but it changes from day to day, .... stalemate.#

Oh, Be.open you are going to like the price levels in your country... 6% inflation, 3% growth... If you cannot do the math I will for you: Ruzzia is effectively shrinking a 3%.

Ya, indeed

"The Odesa outlet Dumskaya described the operation to maintain the bridgehead as resulting in large losses for little achievable purpose.

"Marines cross the river and most are killed as they approach the shore," it said. "There is no talk of any further breakthrough; now the forces are being wasted simply on staying there. For what?"

It called for the Ukrainian command "to curtail this operation," which was going to be linked with the offensive in the Zaporozhzhia region which has already ended."



BTW, how is Russia growth compared with UK 0.5% growth and 6% inflation, is that better than Russia?

https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/bulletins/consumerpriceinflation/september2023#:~:text=The%20core%20CPIH%20annual%20inflation,in%20the%20constructed%20historical%20series.

I am not sure you understand the situation, but first things first: a) UK inflation is 4.6%, you are using a year old data. b) UK interest rates are at 5.25%
Now, if you want to compare with Ruzzzzzzzia ... is 7.5%, BUT the rates are above 15%. You have mid-high inflation and high rates. I guess you are trying very hard to ignore that Ruzzia has very limited marging to contain inflation: (a) do nothing a get into hyperinflation (b) raise rates and kill utterly the growth. Even you must know this.

But the funny thing is that it does not matter, because the UK does not have to spend more than a 2% of the gdp on weapons - because the UK is not at war. Ruzzia (surprise surprise) is in a full blown, high-intensity war and can (a) retire an end the war or (b) continue the war and risk hyperinflation or stagflation.

And yes, the risk of hyperinflation is very real because many of the people who should be working have fled (the educated ones) or are in the front (the poor ones) while the production for the war is calling for extra workforce. The recipee for a salary driven inflation is served.

Just pray that the Saudis do not decide to increase the production by a couple million barrels a day at the same time.

It seems that Ukraine has stopped in a quite expedite and violent way the Ruzzian attempt to attack the Krinki bridgehead on the east bank of the dnipro.

But worry not, US has ramped up production so they can spare even more. https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/2023/03/28/us-army-eyes-six-fold-production-boost-of-155mm-shells-used-in-ukraine/

Quote
The Army is spending $1.45 billion on capacity “to expand 155mm artillery production from 14,000 a month to over 24,000 later this year,” and 85,000 in five years, ...

24.000 a month is a good target. High intensity and now sustainable effort.
A really good target is 85,000 rounds per month, which the US plans to achieve within five years. In other words, the US is five years behind Russia in artillery shell production because Russia is producing 85,000 shells a month right now. Try to learn to live with this thought - Russia produces approximately the same amount of artillery shells as all the countries of the collective West combined.

I could almost believe you... if it weren't for that little visit to North Korea by your Chief Psychopath asking the very powerful kingdom, of roughly 25 million people to please supply shells so that the Ruzzian slave army could keep on pushing. Things do not collapse until they collapse, so keep on banking on "global attrition of shells" it may be the only thing you have left to hope for.

Why a waste of time? I mean, one could argue that anything that is not working, making cash and learning is a waste of time, but I remember that some rock star said "I have spent half of my money on women, drink and drugs, the rest I wasted". Jokes apart, the game is to have fun and should not serve any other particular purpose so that is not a waste if it works for you.

155mm is not "depleted worldwide", only the excess stocks have been sent to Ukraine, while most countries keep their strategic stock pretty much intact. The US has not passed to Ukraine anything they cannot spare without hindering their ability to wage two significant wars. South Korea has stocks of unknown depth. Perhaps only Europe is doing more of an effort.

Yep, there is a dip for sure. Just follow URAL oil, not the general commodity chart.

Sometimes, unintentionally, even politicians say the truth

https://nypost.com/2023/07/09/biden-lets-slip-during-interview-us-low-on-artillery-ammunition-rounds-as-it-tries-to-aid-ukraine/

...and, you reposted my link to prove I'm wrong? On both your and mine (same) link current price is $56, not $50, and last time it was $80
was 2 months ago, not yesterday as you suggested

Whatever you say on oil.

On being "low on ammo", I have not heard the declaration, but you must understand what being "low" means in the context of the US army. They simply cannot sleep if they know that they could not invade Iran and China, while defending from Ruzzia at the same time in a month. All the US army is an overkill of stores, technologies, personnel and supply chains.

And yet still, this is not what you said - "stocks globally low" is not "US stocks low".

Edited to add: It seems that Australia may be transfering quite a few F-18 planes to Ukraine. A bit of an old beast, but carries a lot of payload.

Ha! I see some folks here have got sucked down the BADecker trolling rabbit hole. He loves it.
I gave up debating this moron years ago with all his plethora of asinine threads.
Not worth wasting time. Every veteran on this forum knows he's the village idiot and has him on ignore or just laughs at his lunacy.
Sometimes I'll engage him if I'm bored and had a few, just for a chuckle. And I know I'll get a reply.
I think his whole life consists of trolling the bitcointalk p+s board  with nonsense and nothing else.


And to stay on topic, Mike Pence is gonna be a good witness for the prosecution in the Georgia trial, no doubt.

Thanks good advice, I think most people no longer bother and it seems that now he is trying to get keywords and links into the algo, so it may seem that he is playing the game, but can't we all play the game? Not everything is what it looks.

Mike Pence is a big one. He is credible in general, he could have played along with the orange-ambition guy so at least he was ... smart enough? afraid enough? ambitious enough? My guess is that he has no future while Trump is around, so he is going to be motivated on this one, while he has to pretend that is just complying with the law.

Pence’s name appearing on the witness list in Georgia, which has not been previously reported, is the first concrete sign that the Fulton County district attorney’s office is preparing to put him on the stand. Pence has already signaled a willingness to testify as a witness in any federal trial.

The result depends on the degree of support. Ukraine has proven more resilient than expected, Europe an US more willing to confront, Ruzzia less powerful than could be expected... so this is a situation can be broken by sending a proper yearly long aid package. As of now, Ukrainians have done a lot with a very limited supply of weapons and limits to their use.
 
In the end, it depends on how good of ally is US going to be and, to be honest, how smart they are about their own stance in the world if they choose to step back.

Something really strange occurred today with the price of Ural Oil. from 80 to 50 US per barrel.

So limited that it depleted 155mm rounds worldwide, while many countries will need years to replenish ATGMs

Urals oil is at $56 and it was nowhere near $80 for a while
