301  Economy / Gambling / Re: The most liquid companies in the gambling industry on: May 10, 2024, 01:28:23 AM

There is no doubt about that, I personally could say that things can be very usable in terms of those who can put them to use, I know that in many cases corrupt rulers and people who have always done evil to the world have done so with fiat money, we cannot blame the fiat money for the crimes of some people, so sometimes seeing that they say that they have been robbed and that they have done things to be able to establish themselves better in terms of crypto, well it doesn't make much sense to me that they think Thanks to crypto, more thefts can be made these days, all of these are simply tools.

The things that are referred to crypto, the people who hate them invent all kinds of excuses to make them look bad, then based on anonymity and all this that they want to remove, well they simply want to remove it so that everything is exposed, and Those who use crypto, casinos and all this may be exposed.
There have always been alot of misconceptions and propaganda again cryptocurrency and bitcoin most especially which is why we see alot of attacks from various government a and some of it agencies around the world, even though all the criminal who use the fiat monetary process have been left unchecked and uncaught until now, but their are quick to sponsor hate statements against the industry today.

The government have failed in to act right to regulate the financial institutions,  and also making a misplaced priority by chasing the wrong fight.
You can't certainly blame the government in this regard, cryptocurrency caught them unawares, so getting used to it will take time. You can't also blame them as some speak against it while others either ban, restrict or advocate/enforce strict regulation, it wasn't the same reaction by all which indicates Hope. What they've always known was fiat which is a centralised system and is what they somewhat trusted because they still have control over it despite some illicit flows. As for the illicit flows, criminals and money launderers continue to find means to outsmart the government even as the government continues to block some and unveil some perpetrator's schemes and even jail many of them. This has been the tough task the government was fighting and still fighting before and after the introduction of cryptocurrency.

Now that cryptocurrency was introduced, it became an added headache for them for obvious reasons, and if you were the top leader in the government, would you feel differently if you were genuine? As we know, it takes harder tasks to solve the puzzles of cryptocurrencies than fiats, and the common claims that criminals are using fiats are not even a contention here because the government will never deny that. But it seems people continue to reference it which is supposed not to be so because the primary concern of any responsible government is to build and maintain a sane system where illicit flows will not happen talkless of causing the financing of terrorism, trafficking and others. The only way they can do this is to get better control of cryptocurrency which is what they're trying to do these days through various regulations, and this is for the good of all as decentralisation will always come with its danger whether we like it or not.

There is a dual effect on bitcoin holdings and crypto that is difficult to remove. On one side you are using it because it attracks a certain kind of use that uses crypto to play over and over and sometime they might be linked with crime. However the effect also plays against in the sense of the seriousness and credibility of the flows and that is the con to the pro.
302  Economy / Gambling / Re: Building a unique Casino game from scratch. What features do you want? on: May 10, 2024, 01:23:46 AM

Let's be realistic, there are already dozens if not hundreds of casinos out there and it is you that may have to come up with a unique selling point to really distinguish yourselves or simply try to carve out a piece of the pie which will likely require throwing huge amounts of money at it. If I was starting fresh these days, I'd probably target one small game like dice and try to create a unique spin on it, maybe have 3 different games running that you specialize in. After you build up a reasonable user base, you could try to expand further because you'd have enough capital behind you to grow. All of the things you've mentioned and likely others here have too, are already available across many other sites.

Realistically speaking as a gambler, it’s very hard to share even the smallest part if you will start fresh using few games especially the original games since most of the gamblers these days preferred slot games despite how low the RTP is.

Popular casino offers a complete package of games including bonuses and VIP. It’s very hard to compete with them anymore using limited games and small bonuses since most of the competitors invest tons of money on their website including the bankroll. OP idea of starting fresh will surely very hard to execute or if ever he manage to create a unique game then other casino will simply just copy it and offer as original games with few variations.

Many casinos started with just one game, back in the day dice, plinko, and crash were unique games, and after starting with one soon after we would see other games added one by one. So Fortify has a good suggestion, one or more original games with a unique spin on them, or some totally new original game can attract people. And if things go well and the site gains some user base, other games will be added easily. I guess it would be a "cheaper" way to start compared to starting with lots of games, big funds for marketing, and various promotions, not to mention the need for a huge bankroll to be there to attract whales.

The OP mentioned that he is going to launch something within days of creating this thread, so we are still waiting to see what he is up to...

It is more difficult to launch new stuff if you make it too simple, nowdays these tend to be more sophisticated and the player would need to have a super-special experience if they wanted them to stay just with one game. However, it would make sense to start with a reduced number of games or try find a niche that allows a selective group of users that cannot find those somewhere else.
303  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: May 10, 2024, 01:21:13 AM
If KYC is must, I think they mustn't allow users play/use their casino until they fill their details and get accepted rather than let them deposit and play from the very beginning. It may be somewhere in TOS but letting them play/deposit but deny withdrawal asking KYC is totally unfair and somewhat scam/cheating. Then it will be like one way door. One can enter but can't exit.

It is very obvious that this asymmetric treatment of entry and exit is not casual but rather by design and at this point I wonder if these casinos could not be accused of having money that is illegal, that is, you do not allow withdrawal without identification but they are keeping that cash themselves so, if the money is not legal, they are holding illegal money.

[...]

Again please stop with your moronic statements about nukes. Even if 1 nuke goes to Moscow that would mean that there is no more world. [...]

Are you getting nervous? Name calling? Really? You are the only stupid here that does not understands how nuclear deterrence works.

I will repeat it again, just because you seem to like it that much: one nuke is not just a bit more than zero. It is the difference between a nuclear power and not a nuclear power, between having a world with a controlled number of countries with a controlled number of combinations for a nuclear conflict and an scenario that doubles the number of nuclear armed countries and exponentially grows the combinations for a conflict.

1000 nukes in and controlled by Germany, Poland, Letonia, Lituania, Ukraine, Finland, Norway... just name all the countries that feel threatened by Ruzzia - and you claim that does not matter because "it is not too many more nukes"? I think you just do not understand shit of the world we live in.

Having this scenario is Putin's doing because everyone around Ruzzia cannot ever feel safe, so happy birthday and I hope that if we are all ever blown up it catches you counting the money you are getting paid little troll.

Well, when it's between top pentagon official and a forum member without citations think you know who we all believe more.

Your eyes.

Also stop pretending that Russia is planning on attacking Germany, as if NATO didn't have article 5,

Stop pretending that Germany, Poland and the Baltic countries are not going thinking already about getting their own deterrence when Trump is saying he wants to break NATO.

In that regard is irrelevant who wins the elections, because in military terms you have to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst and Europe can no longer assume that the US umbrella will work. Europe is veeery slow, but is not stupid.

While Ukraine continue hitting oil refineries in Russia, such strikes is getting deeper and deeper. This atime they hit refinery in Bashkortostan, Salavat city which is located about 1500 km from border with Ukraine:
https://t.me/breakingmash/54061
https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-drone-attack-oil-refinery-bashkortostan-1898844
This time it seems that not much damage was made, but only fact that drone went all this long distance unnoticed is crazy. Well, unless it was released from inside Russia.

You can buy an electric generator from Germany, US,... is not that easy, it takes a while to manufacture and it is not a perfect solution at all. You can import electricity and perhaps improve the infrastructure to import which is no off the shelve, but is not high tec either. The attacks on Ukraine power grid are to be taken seriously, but they will not stop the Ukrainian army.

At the same time, you cannot buy a refinery distillation column. You cannot build it yourself and you cannot just get it by Amazon next day. You just need to get used to buy gasoline in the market  (it is cheap right now, fill the tanks... or maybe not, they may get blown) and not having it will stop your troops. As it will not having enough to pay for the cost of a war.

305  Economy / Gambling / Re: House Edge on: May 09, 2024, 09:52:27 PM
I guess in simple terms the 2% house edge give the chance for the game outcome to favor the house on 2x advantage compared to the other casino that have 1% house advantage.
Sometimes I ask how we measure the probably fairness of the game system when there is house edge in place, regardless of how the casino promise to be fair?

Yes and it is optically no very big when they say it, it is like the fees of 1% or 2%, it does not seem very big, but in fact as you say is actually duplicating the price of the product.  I am not sure people understand clearly of look closely to the hedge, as it seems little, however we all should be paying attention to it as we would pay attention when buying a car or a similar item.
306  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: May 09, 2024, 07:15:32 PM
Both NATO and Russia have more than enough nukes, about 12k together. In the word of thermonuclear fusion weapons, hypersonic missiles, and fractional orbital bombardment systems the idea that 1k more nukes would change something is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a while. If my country looses so should the whole world mindset?

With Trump is leading in polls 49% and Biden slipping to 43% and Biden's 13th-Quarter Approval Average Lowest Historically...None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower had a lower 13th-quarter average than Biden. denying and not planning for such outcome is just idiotic at this point. Regardless how you feel about Trump, any politician that doesn't plan for Trumps presidency to later claim any such outcome as totally unexpected should be laughed out of politics right now. It's like some politicians acting that they just found out that Russia has 3x population to Ukraine.

Looks like Forbes also puts GLSDB range at about 150km
The 600-pound, 90-mile-range glide-bombs might help to compensate for a dire shortage of 155-millimeter howitzer shells.

Small-diameter high-precision GLSDB munitions did not meet expectations based on the experience of the war in Ukraine, stated Deputy US Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante at the CSIS security forum.

"One company, I won't say who they are, came up with a really cool idea of taking an air-to-ground weapon and doing a ground launch version of it, and it would be a long-range fire weapon. They raced and did it as fast as they could, we even limited the testing in this country. We said, look just test for safety... And then we sent it to Ukrainians. It didn't work," explained LaPlante.

He explained that these munitions failed to perform for several reasons, including:

・interference from electronic warfare systems,

・typical debris and ground use,

・tactical application peculiarities.

Presumably, LaPlante was referring to the recently developed GLSDB missiles from Boeing, which were based on the GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). Their testing concluded in December last year, and the first confirmed use against Russians appeared in February this year.

LaPlante summarized the situation, emphasizing that "when you send something to people in fight for their lives, and it doesn't work, they'll try it three times and then they'll just throw it aside. So that's happened".
You can not believe Deputy US Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment all you want. But if you want to prove him wrong and claim that GLSDB work for Ukraine you got to cite something outside of your opinion and few pictures.

Wow what a great strategy in just 6 bullet point! But are you saying this is totally new, like really no one thought to implement such basic strategy in the previous 2+ years of fighting? Do you think that's because they're just totally incompetent or it was by design?

Firstly, I did not take you for such a short sighted one, unless you are again trying to cover up. Even 1 nuke changes the game. There is a qualitative gap between 0 nukes and even 1 nuke, I dare say, more than between 10 and 20. So yes, 1000 nukes in Europe, inclusive of Germany, are more than enough to create second thoughts on anyone trying to invade. It is simple: even if 5 nukes pass the defences and get to Moscow... well, there is no Moscow.

On Trump, well, who knows. He says he intends to end the war in 48 hours... he does not say how and he has said so many things... The gap with Biden, whatever you say, I have seen pols with just a tiny difference.

Glad to know that Ukis can send the glide bombs at around 150Km, I would not have imagined that kind of rangeeven for the smaller units, it kind of make the F16 strategy more interesting.

The deputy US Secretary of defence for Acquisition is just a pencil pusher. You can choose to give credit to his opinion or to retired generals trying to make a buck here and there. I have been looking at the front and some of the Ukrainian strikes and lead me to think that "not working" is nor really a thing.

Re the bullet points, well, if you want a full text, you can look at my previous posts. I mean, if you like heavy documents that you are not going to read nor probably understand, you have them there. it is funny because the official strategy published matches quite a bit of the points I put forward. Maybe I should take a job on this.

Así es, el tema es que si nos ponemos en el lugar de los verdugos tampoco debe ser nada facil cobrar los impuestos o intentar que no se te vayan los ciudadanos para evadir etc. El tema es que como siempre el que mas perjudicado termina es el ciudadano medio sin tantos recursos tal vez como apra montarse o permitirse un andamiaje como el que mencionas el cual si pueden hacer los multimillonarios.

A ver... al final esto es lo que es. Tu no sueles elegir ser ciudadano de un pais en primera instancia. La mayoría de la gente en el mundo civilizado no se cuestiona si debería ir a otro sitio a vivir, pero ahora hay muchos "nomadas digitales" que no están atados por el trabajo o la familia a un lugar concreto. Es de lógica que elijan el lugar que merjores condiciones les ofrezca.

Ningún gobierno en ningún pais debería dar por supuesto que sus ciudadanos "le pertenecen" y que puede tratarlos como le de la gana y eso es más cierto con ciudadanos que pueden moverse y más si tienen un nivel económico alto - aclaro q yo vivo normal y voy construyendo algo que perdure después de que yo la palme - es que soy así de Chino ya ves, pero puedo cambiar de pais sin mucho problema.

Hay q pagar impuestos? Si. Es cada cual libre de elegir donde? Para mi si (dentro de lo que dejen claro). Si un pais se lo pone muy difícil a los que tienen dinero, se irán. Así de simple, no somos prisioneros. En España en particular hay muy mala costumbre en el tema impositivo - es muy agresivo, aunque sin llegar al nivel USA claro, pero incluso en Europa hay paises con muy bajos impuestos y calidad de vida.

older than my father.

@) So, would that -- how old was your father at the time?
A So, 60

Old guy asks very young girl out... by means of a friend.

Quote
he came back and asked, said that Mr. Trump would like to know if I would like to have dinner with him.

And what did you say at that time?
F' no.


But business is business...

It will make for a great story. He is a business guy. Like, what could possibly go wrong?
That was his words to me.
Q Did he persuade you that it would be good for your
career?
A Yes, he implied.


Q How did you get into Mr. Trump's hotel suite?
A The door was actually open. It was cracked open and
his bodyguard, Keith, was standing right outside


So... recap, young girl meets old pervert. Old pervert ask very young girl out, she says not, but... it may be so good for her business that eventually goes to old pervert's room.

stripped down in their underwear and posing on the bed, like

Oh, there seems to have been an assassination attempt against Zelensky. Interesting now that we speak of terrorism.

As far as I know, there is war between two nations. You can have war crimes, e.g. Russia bombing systematically schools and hospitals, kidnapping children, etc... But an attack on a militarily valuable asset (e.g. the fuel required for your war) is not terrorism. As usual BA here is just inventing his own narrative, as detached from reality as all the rest.

No Ukraine has a strategy and has been given the means to develop it. It is a nasty, corroding and something that Ruzzia can do little about. dumBAss is getting very nervous - perhaps also because his hero Trump is being judged and the "adult film actress" he had sex with said "he was not wearing a condom" when they copulated.

[...]

If the British had used terrorist attacks in pre-US America like the colonists did, they would have easily won. The British lost through being honorable.



I am absolutely ok if Ruzzia decides to lose honourably, but given the war crimes committed since the very beginning of the war that is no longer possible.

BTW you should learn a bit of history. Well... you should learn a lot of things... or perhaps something, anything... The US is independent because the French fleet supported it - try not to forget it. I am sure there was a member of your family in France complaining of having to spend the money of those US terrorists and saying that the Brits were winning.

i don't know why this is such a big problem in america, because in my country the issue of abortion has been discussed for a long time and it is clearly said that it is prohibited, both religiously and by state. but does that seem unfair to women who don't want the pregnancy? not really, because even so, they can abort the pregnancy with over-the-counter medicine or at a gynecologist, even though this is illegal, the government does not really emphasize this as a regulation that must be obeyed.

because from what i understand, these rules must exist as proof that the government is in line with the majority religion, but when there are citizens who violate them, then they don't need to be treated as criminals because it's up to each individual whether they want to obey the rules or not.

If a woman doesn't want a pregnancy, why did she get pregnant in the first place? [...]
Obviously, there are extenuating circumstances at times.

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.

Cool

There is not a single sentence in there that is remotely true.

You shmart. You didn't have to type so much. You only had one sentence that is not true. Lol.

Hint: "freedomphoenix" is unlikely to be taken seriously by most people here. Or anywere. Is more like... the joke of internet or the humour pages of a porn magazine.

Thanks for correcting this misinformation, the US is a top democratic government, and the definition of democracy is about the voice and wish of the people, therefore insinuating that a president will impose his personal will or religious beliefs in a country like the USA is not possible. I think that the OP is a supporter of Joe Biden, and is campaigning for him, but let's not forget that Donald Trump, was once a US president, so the American people in this forum will answer better if he had tried to push for a notional ban on abortion. I think that Americans are in a better position to choose their next president, one is the current president and the other is the former president, so let them vote who they think will serve them better as the next president.


You obviously don't understand how things work in the United States. Republicans have already made abortion illegal in many US states, and stopped all doctors nationwide from using the abortion pill for several weeks while they fought in court.

I clearly don't understand how things work in united states, and as it regards abortion laws, if Donald trump's, administration was anti abortion, the present Joe Biden, administration is pro abortion, then I think it's a good thing that we're in an election year, so let the American people vote for what they want.

I based what I said about misinformation on the report that Donald Trump, said that it's states that'll determine whether they'll allow abortions in their states or not, if he actually said that, then if any states outlaws abortion, it has nothing to do with the federal government. I think that even if abortion is banned in any states, there should be clause that'll covers rape cases.

Pro-choice. Nobody is forcing anybody to interrupt pregnancy, however some people are trying to get women to remain pregnant wheter they want it or not. Trump is not defending freedom of choice, it is exactly the opposite.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-trial-live-stormy-daniels-called-testify-2024-05-07/

Quote
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:

Quote
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.

Quote
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.

Quote
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.

Quote
"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.
 

Quote
She said Trump was not wearing a condom, which was concerning, but she didn't say anything.

Quote
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.

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  Grin

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"

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.

Cool

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 Case


lol "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  Huh
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.

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   Cheesy 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

Learn what citations are, and do not attribute my citations to me.  Angry

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.
