In the Russian version of the forum, мoderator xandry removed this topic under the pretext - Reason: there is a topic about Boeing - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699958.0, do not duplicate it. However, the topic to which the moderator refers has a completely opposite meaning. By the way, the criminal trial has finally ended, the district court in The Hague found three guilty of shooting down the Malaysian Boeing flight MH17, sentencing them to life imprisonment. Russia refused to extradite them, motivating the process with a political order.

Since Russia doesn't acknowledge this court, the court findings mean nothing in Russia. Besides, the way courts work these days, they might have found the three guilty through unscrupulous, unconscionable, faulty judging.

There is a lot of world that the US doesn't have as much influence over as it thinks it does. As the US, Europe and Australia impose even greater and more sanctions on Russia, Russian oil flows to Asia and India.


ENERGY REDIRECTED: Two-thirds of Russian seaborne oil exports are now going to Asia


Two-thirds of all Russian seaborne oil exports are now heading to Asian countries as the country continues to divest itself from relying on the European oil trade.

Before the European Union (EU), the United States and their allies imposed sanctions on Russia over the country’s special military operation in Ukraine, seaborne crude oil deliveries to Asia accounted for less than two-fifths of all Russian seaborne crude sales. Within a span of six months, where Russian oil goes has changed completely.

China and India are forming the backbone of the latest surge in Russian seaborne oil exports. Other countries like Turkey, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates are also deepening their ties with Russia by purchasing more oil. (Related: US-EU price cap on Russian oil threatens India’s crude imports and economic growth.)

In the 28 days leading up to Friday, Nov. 11, the volume of Russian crude oil heading to China, India, Turkey and to several other countries has  soared to a record 2.39 million barrels of crude per day.

China and India still make up the vast majority of this Asia-bound crude. In the week ending on Nov. 11, China and India received 880,000 and 750,000 barrels of Russian crude per day by the sea, respectively. Turkey received 300,000 barrels of crude per day and around 410,000 went to unknown destinations.

Tankers hauling Russian crude are becoming more secretive about their destinations because of fears that the EU or the U.S. might retaliate if they find out certain countries are purchasing more Russian oil.

The U.S., EU and their allies, including the United Kingdom and Australia, have imposed a new set of sanctions on Russia that will come into effect on Dec. 5.

to be honest actually I'm a bit scared and worried about AI. What if they have their own minds, and are able to think like humans in general. It makes me anxious and think negative things.
Am not sure what your thinking or perhaps, this is an illusion developed based on the Hollywood movies you've been watching and try to see possibilities. I'll say in all those movies, the humans always triumph in the end. We always find a way to nullify the threat to our survival.

Humans are the most creative and most destructive. Once our specie tends threatened, we look for solutions. Anyway, we aren't getting an AI apocalyptic revolution anytime soon or ever. We got the brains, we've been putting it to good use and still do. The created can't be smarter than the creator. For machines, it's garbage in, garbage out.

Just remember. It's humans that program the kind of thinking that AI's do. When the human programming is done by good people, we don't get AI's.

On that topic, it's interesting to note the evolution of the last phase of the Russian decoy operations (the pull-out).  It's pretty complicated given the op-sec considerations, PR considerations, etc:

Kiev area was a disaster and nobody is saying that one was worth bragging about.  They lost significant kit and persons killed not to mention the poor locals who didn't have a chance against the jackal-like 'friends and neighbors'.  It was so bad that there was widespread sackings and suspicions that the Russian intel people were in on it.

Kharkiv went pretty well, but they left to many good Ukroid people behind for the Ukrainian Secret Police Nazis to have their way with which was quite sad.  Some broken down junk was left.

Kherson Left Bank deserves a 10/10 from what I can see.  Civies were given re-settlement options anywhere they wanted to go, anything which was fit to tow was removed, and there were zero losses in the military ranks.  So they say.  Not only that but the abandoned area was well prepared as a killing field (a new Russian specialty) so much so that the Ukroids stuck their nose in, got it bopped, then got out fast.  It's more than possible that the Russian performance here was bolstered by a deal with the West to get a leash on coke-head Zenenskij.   Or maybe he was just on a powerball binge/crash and didn't notice until Ivan was safely across the river.



Have you abandoned your whole "the war is fake, the whole thing is being orchestrated by the global elite and the outcome is pre determined" conspiracy theory?

If you think the elite - the real Biggies - have their claws in only one or two nations, you are missing it. The elite control what they can, and move with the flow where they can't control.

Great Green Wall


Over the past fifteen years, the Great Green Wall has become real and a real going concern.  At this point all of the inhabitants have bought in and fully support what is going on.  Cell phoners have made the necessary sharing of knowledge easy.

Many more things can be done in Africa on this scale.  The Congo Chad canal leaps to mind in which an initial canal is connected and then expanded over decades using heavy equipment.  This can be even extended to the Eastern part of Libya as well.

All this leads to the steady buildup of water resources that then allows expansion of the belt into the Sahara.  That is possible with millions of folk working to make it all happen.


The Great Green Wall or Great Green Wall of the Sahara and the Sahel (French: Grande Muraille Verte pour le Sahara et le Sahel; Arabic: السور الأخضر العظي, romanized: as-Sūr al-ʾAkhḍar al-ʿIẓī) is a project led by the African Union, initially conceived as a way to combat desertification in the Sahel region and hold back expansion of the Sahara, by planting a wall of trees stretching across the entire Sahel. The modern green wall has since evolved into a program promoting water harvesting techniques, greenery protection and improving indigenous land use techniques, aimed at creating a mosaic of green and productive landscapes across North Africa.

When the quantum computer (QC) finally becomes as fully operable as it can become, and then when AI programming is added to this QC, true thinking ability will be available to the AI. This QC with the AI will become a suitable housing for Satan to come back up from the abyss.

Agree; things go in your favor when you work under the creator's will and on the right path. But when you are on the wrong way and acting against God's will. Then, things would get worse against you. But at this time, you (Russia) must stop, think and analyze your path. As per my observations, your acts are affecting millions of people.


It's true that Russia's actions are affecting millions of people. But the affecting is an attempt to free them from the US banking Ponzi scheme that is enslaving millions.

Consider. It was the US and the new US banking system that disrupted Russian power by supporting the Bolsheviks so that they could oust the Czar from power. Then it was the Russians and the USSR that did the main job of conquering Germany in WW2.

Of course, as many nations, Russia's pride in their successes turned them into something worse than Hitler's Germany. Russia's success started to fail, and by 1991, she agreed to breaking up and freeing the member States of the USSR. But it was the US that did not follow its 1991 agreement by not expanding NATO.

So, today we have Russia that is simply doing a police action in Ukraine to protect itself and Ukraine from US imperialism, and people think that Russia is bad. But it's the same thing that the US has been doing all around the world for over a hundred years. It is the same thing that placed the Bolsheviks in power.

Russia has learned its lesson and moved into free trade with other countries. But when they didn't bow to the corrupt US banking system, the US started to expand its controls in Eastern Europe, and at this time in Ukraine.

"The US isn't forcing Ukraine to do anything," you might say. If you mean military force, you are right-ish. But if you take a look at the US backed coups in the Ukraine government since at least 2024, and the $billions of US dollars that have gone into Ukraine is less than a year, you are wrong. There are different ways to fight wars. One of them is to support a warring nation with finances and equipment.

None of that is happening because it doesn't need to happen. When you look at the world situation, the US and its banking system, along with Nato, are all falling apart. It's a shame that they are falling apart because the people of many nations will be hurt in some ways.

If the US and their banking system had been built on righteousness rather than Ponzi corruption, this might not have happened. But since it is built on corruption, it will fall, as all corruption does.

And this doesn't mean the people, themselves. The people of America are in general attempting to do what is right. It's just that they can't see through the US leader lies, just like some Ukrainians have a difficult time seeing through Zelenski lies.

As it is, Putin and Russia are more righteous that the US and its lies.


Ukraine’s missile strike into Poland a “provocation” against government in Warsaw, warns Polish politician


A Polish politician believes the Ukrainian missile that struck his country was a “provocation” by Kyiv.

On Nov. 15, a missile struck southeastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine, killing two Polish citizens. Jaroslaw Pakula, chairman of the city council of Lublin in southeastern Poland, believes that the strike clearly came from Ukraine and was a provocation against the government in Warsaw. (Related: Associated Press makes major mistake – almost starts World War III with fake news report about missile that killed two people in Poland.)

“Of course, this is a Ukrainian rocket. Of course. This is a provocation on the part of the Ukrainian authorities,” Pakula wrote on his official Facebook page. “The rocket could not be fired 100 kilometers [62 miles] in the opposite direction by mistake.”

Pakula added that the purpose of attempting to provoke Warsaw was to scare Poland and the European Union and get more support for more military aid to be sent to Kyiv. Pakula believes that, instead of telling “fairy tales” about where the missile came from, Polish President Andrzej Duda should respond to the provocation by telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Warsaw “will no longer put up with this behavior.”

“I urge [Duda] to rethink Poland’s position [regarding] this war in the event that the red line is crossed again,” Pakula concluded.

Polish government, NATO believes missile was Ukrainian despite Kyiv’s denial

Zelensky immediately accused Russia of being responsible for the missile attack, claiming that Moscow is attacking Poland and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and trying to blame it on Kyiv.

Official government statements from Ukraine claim that the incident showed the need for NATO to “close the sky” over Ukraine, repeating the demand the country has had since February that NATO should enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to prevent Russian military aircraft from defending Russian citizens and military positions in the area.

Unfortunately for Zelensky, both Poland and the entirety of NATO believe that the missile was launched by Ukraine.

"He tweeted for them to be peaceful so the violence isn't his fault" is almost as dumb of an argument as "his rallies had bigger crowds than biden so the election was obviously rigged"

Regarding both of those, you are absolutely right... if they were the only things available for basing the conclusions on. As it is, in both cases, those two things are simply strong points that help to make both of them true. Trump won the election, and Trump didn't cause insurrection Jan. 6. In both cases, there were many other points that show Trump's did what was right, and probably righteous.

Just curious. Who in Russia are you talking to? Russia is very diverse culturally. There are many Christians in Russia, as well as many who aren't. And the government of Russia is acting more peacefully than the US government.

If you are talking to Russia as a country of the world, why her? There are worse nations, and there are troubles in all. Zechariah 6:8 talks about those horses going toward the North Country giving the Spirit rest. Is Russia this North Country, at least in part?

Russia has lost every war since the time of Napoleon, except for World War II, in which it defeated Germany with the help of the United States and Great Britain.


It is possible russia deserves all of the credit for defeating nazi germany.

Russian WWII casualties were around 5 million.

While casualties of the USA in WWII were around 500,000.

Which seems to indicate russia bore the brunt of the fighting.

Also while it may not be a popular topic, there was a war between dagestan and russia very recently.
Russia - USA - UK - GERMANY - ISRAEL They are the biggest peace preacher yet they have collectively done irreparable damage to the world.
The more they want other counties to stop the use of arms and ammunition the more they do it on the weak countries - USA has destroyed Afghanistan and along side half of the Pakistan in their fight against terrorist. What a pity!

The problem with what you say is this. The West - particularly the US - is stopping Russia by doing the things that Russia does. It's like the old saying to 'fight fire with fire'. When you fight Russia with Russian tactics, you become Russia. People can't get away from Russia, no matter what they do. Soon the US and Europe will publicly declare their own brand of Communism. And of course, Ukraine being supported by the US, is simply a form of Russia fighting Russia.

The U.S. Medical System is Collapsing after Mass Exodus of Doctors and Nurses


I don't know how anyone can't be frightened by what we are seeing. When I try to discuss this with my coworkers, they turn their heads and look downcast, but will rarely speak.

I think it's because like me, they feel betrayed for following the narrative, but unlike me they won't open their eyes and speak out (they're afraid for their careers and also are scared to death that their bodies are ticking time bombs). It's easier to ignore than to acknowledge. – Susan Pace, Medscape

The fact that there is a crisis in the U.S. medical system is not in dispute, as even the corporate media has been covering this since 2021, as many hospital Emergency Rooms across the U.S. have either closed down completely, or reduced their hours, due to lack of staffing.

One of the most recent closings happened at Wellstar's Atlanta Medical Center in Southwest Atlanta, a predominantly Black community. (Source.)

Earlier this month (November 2022) a group of medical organizations that include the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association warned President Biden that hospital emergency departments were reaching a "breaking point" as they deal with influxes of patients seeking beds that are not available.

Physicians experienced the largest loss, with 117,000 professionals leaving the workforce in 2021, followed by nurse practitioners, with 53,295 departures, and physician assistants, with 22,704 departures.

Hi, I have gone through your post and other users' comments. All I can say is we have the right to speak and express our feelings, we can say what is in our mind, and we are free to talk, but unfortunately, we don't have the right to abuse anyone due to his personal or political policy. Criticism is a right for everyone, but it should be done in a civilized manner. I would suggest you; please review the post. Despite all the criticism, he (Bieden) is still president of the United States of America.


And that is the point. Biden is President of a trust corporation. He is not king. Most of his authority does not extend to you or me as men and women, except that we think that it does. This is the greatest problem with the US government. It has little real authority over our lives. Most of the authority comes from our treating of the President as though he were a king.

 The thing is, as humans we do not want to make lying a habit but we can't help these things. Lolz, I'm not defending the action but even in biblical times, Abraham had to lie to save his wife Sarah from being taken.

You have the right idea. But regarding Abram (before he was named Abraham by God), he lied to save himself. Of course, he didn't have to, because God was protecting him. But he was weak, as we all are. We often talk what we think is right, but we miss a little at times, and so speak what is not truth.
