I'm not sayng that Russians are better than you, I'm saying that you're not better than them
You sound like elementary school kid talking about geopolitics

Yes, you are. You have been several months vomiting the most elementary level of brainwashed propaganda precisely stating how great is Ruzzia and how terrible is (You?? who do you think you are talking to dude?) the West (I assume). It is very hypocritical for you to pretend anything else.

Sorry that I have to explain to you and the resident trolls here stuff at primary level - you are unable to grasp anything more complex and sometimes not even such basics. Brain damage probably.

Off the mud now:

Ukraines "100 drones strike" has caught Ruzzia ridiculously unprepared. Refineries, electrical sub-stations, ports, rail stations at long and short range have been hit. Crimea remains open for a repetition as Ruzzia seems unable to restore the air defence in the time frame that would be expected.

This is what happens when you join the Trump cult, but you are no longer useful...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donald-trump-trials

Some points about the credibility of Cohen have been successfully made by Trump's defence, as it was expected, simply because this is the type of individual that would be all right working for Trump. And this is the type of individuals that would pack the government and institutions of the US is Trump wins - deep into lying for Trump until they are dumped.


Quote
[The defense, led by the Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, resumed attacking Cohen’s credibility in an effort to undermine the testimony of the prosecution’s star witness

Quote
Cohen was forced to concede that he had previously lied to protect Trump because it affected the stakes for him personally
[...]
The defense dug into Cohen’s previous lies under oath and how he seemingly lied about details big and small.

Cohen acknowledged telling Mark Pomerantz, who previously led the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation of Trump, that he felt Daniels and her then lawyer, Keith Davidson, were extorting Trump in seeking a $130,000 payment for her silence on an alleged sexual encounter.


But in the end, there is a paper trail that does not lie, payments made and records falsified to be taken into account.

In reality, they spend 100m weaponry to destroy 10m worth Russian stuff, so that UK propaganda
has something to write about to hide fact that Ukraine is losing
If you can buy ir make several jets or S-400 system for $10 million, then you must be living in alternative reality. And it's not just all about price - Russia isn't capable to produce as many jets or air defense systems as they wish, after all it's not simple stuff like armoured vehicle.
And yeah, Ukraine is destrying these targets just to hide fact that they're losing, interesting logic.

He is not good at math. Just the S400 is more expensive than the weapons used, but what is more, the air system removed has allowed a volley of drones that have reached oil terminals, infrastructure, stations, power generators...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XPigYj5n7I

There are videos of people speaking of drones passing over again and again, sources mention 80 to 100. I would not believe it myself if there was not quite a bit of evidence filmed. I will be providing details of the extent of damages as they are photo - satellite confirmed.

How to make sure something gets destroyed? Put it in Crimea and paint a Ruzzian flag. The air defence in Crimea seems to have quite large gaps and blind spots after the destruction of the S400 radar in Belbek.

do you remember that the Black Sea Fleet used to be in Sebastopol? Well, now is in Novorossiysk, however there seems to be nowhere to hide. 2 drones kaboomed an terminal and an oil depot. Many other explosions heard.

Quote
There has been a large air and naval kamikaze drone attack on the main naval base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Novorossiysk by Ukraine.

At least 35 explosions have been heard. Damage has been confirmed, and more information about the attack on the port is being clarified.

The Novorossiysk railway station got hit. They write about the damage to the Novorossiysk fuel oil terminal and the Transnafta terminal.

Massive attack on the port of Novorossiysk by Ukrainian drones from both sea and air. What remained of the Russian Black Sea fleet was largely stashed away in this port. The eyewitness yells "They blew up the port!"

Port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea coast in Krasnodar Krai is a very target-rich location. Railroad hub, fuel depots, shipyards, and of course many Black Sea Fleet ships at anchor. Ukraine coordinated a massive attack using both naval drones + air drones.

As a result of the strike by kamikaze drones, a substation was damaged, which led to a partial blackout in Sevastopol and surrounding areas. In Novorossiysk, the target of the attack was a port and an oil depot; the attack caused power outages in some areas. Interestingly, the enemy in Sevastopol carried out a combined attack, using both sea and air drones simultaneously. Also concerning is the number of drones used in both attacks. According to local residents, these attacks are unprecedented; such powerful attacks have never been observed before. This indicates that the enemy has accumulated a significant stock of drones and is trying to break through the air defense with massive attacks.”

The attack on the port of Novorossiysk began at around 3am, and is reportedly still going strong after nearly 2 hours.

However, in the end it was only thanks to the US and perhaps the UK that Milosevic was stopped and life could become something like normal in the Balkans.

It should not be very difficult if they were actually interested in doing so. I think is as simple as getting an auditing company that can work in two possible ways: a direct one, by creating "mystery shoppers" and get the returns for real or by simply examining the accounting and the books. However, in the end this is about how much you would trust the auditing guys themselves - the company I mean.

Massive Ukrainian drone attack on Crimea causes power cutoffs in Sevastopol
In images taken by US satellite imaging company BlackSky and space technology firm Maxar, two jets can be seen burned out on the main flight line at Belbek, in addition to a third parked on a protective embankment. The satellite images also show a destroyed building nearby and another which has taken significant damage.

Mikhail Razvozhaev, the Russian-appointed governor of Sevastopol, said on Telegram Friday that the Russians “successfully repelled a massive enemy attack on Sevastopol.”


Repelled... I see...

-snip-
I think the agent wanted to steal the entire money but due to the pressure from the court, he has to return part of it. I see this as a warning on the dangers of greedy agents in physical gambling platforms.

Source: https://twitter.com/General_Oluchi/status/1782027404027797716
I must say that I just read this part from the OP and I have to say that this is not justice, and more reason why there is no equality and justice in this world. I said that because I've seen enough of the same cases being delivered different judgements. So, what is the equality in that? If there were to be another judge in this case in the OP, the agent would pay the whole money, and again, if there were to be yet another judge, the agent would pay the whole money plus some damages that would cover the inconvenience, legal fees and others.

For this, I do not see the judge's verdict in this case as good, it is not just convenient with me. How can someone pay a whole sum and a judge order the agent who was supposed to pay the whole sum to pay half of the money, that's very bad. This means that the agent will actually pocket the remaining half of that money. This is no justice and it is even annoying me to say the truth. No one has access to the claiming and collection of that won money except the winner and the agent, and when the winner does not collect the money as the agent could not show any proof that he has called the money before, then it is the agent who claimed the money.

There was no mention of a hacking issue as well, so it is the agent who should have provided the full money no matter what since the headquarters has cleared it already.

It is about governance and law in the end. For a justice system to work there must be very good incentives at all levels and this is the only thing that is going to keep people aligned and the system working. If the police is poorly paid, the judge is not prosecuted for prevaricating, the lawyers do not care about the client and anyone in the civil service gets a cut, then the system is rotten.

Just choose wisely where you bet.

My first experience with CoinRoyale was a doozy but after a day or two, I can easily navigate the website without having to figure stuff out, it's not per se an experience on gaming though, it's just that it's difficult to navigate the website but once you get used to it, you're good to go. Their games are pretty good too but they need to upgrade their betting feature because I find it disturbingly lacking that there's not a lot of them in there that I can bet on, makes the option of betting there less attractive, their bonus is something else entirely though, love that you can cancel it anytime if a new/better bonus were to arrive.

I would not give names or rather not give names but I can tell what is that really puts me off if that is on anyone's interest: lengthy conditions of service which are not written in plain English or, for that matter, seem translated from a text that is not writter in "plain Chinese" or "Plain Swajili" for that matter. Also, slow sites that kill the playing momentum and leave you waiting for joining rooms or games.

Trump is 78, just 3 years younger and has been in two modes during the trial: Grump mode and oozing mode or like Trump would like to put it "the greatest nap the world has ever seen".

Croatia, 4 million people, managed to mobilize 250 000 (without any foreign help, and actually embargo on weapon buying) for final liberation offensive.

If Ukraine, 40m people country, cant mobilize at least 2 million after receiving hundreds of billions help

then obviously Ukrainians don't feel its worth it, for whatever reason
Mobilizing 2 millions in 40 millions people country looks nice and easy on paper, but reality is a bit different. From these 40 millions we should exclude women, children and elderly people. Then there is at least few millions people who left country during war and also people who alredy serving in army or died. So, actual number that you can potentially mobilize is so much smaller.
Why there issituations like in video above. In cities which are more far away from front line like Lviv, Kyiv, Odesa people are trying to live normal life. They are going no night clubs, pubs, cinema, concerts and etc. These who had motivation to defend country went fighting long time ago, others don't want to change their normal life, leave families and etc go to trenches, and drones and artillery flying above their heads. They want to continue living normally as they used before war, but they think that others have to fight for them. Don'y know what solutions for this problem is.

I do not think there is a huge mobilisation problem in that sense. I think the problem is that Ukraine population pyramid already suffered massively after the fall of the USSR due to the economy shock. You need people in a country and that people need to be young and able to raise children. Those that were first to be called are the ones that are older and probably had kids. Calling the young is a difficult decision, but they would eventually be used by Ruzzia later to fight for them in the next war, so anyway they are going to have to fight.

Would they die for Putin or would they live for their own country and right to choose their destiny?

I do get it that they want to go about their normal lives, who would not? It is difficult to assume that is simply not possible any longer.




Personally, I think UK should send troops over there...after all, they wanted Ukrainians to fight instead negotiating

I though you said that NATO was already there? NATO but not UK?

[daRude filtering news that are negative to Ukraine (again and again) removed]

And it happened again. The western weapons that according to you "do not work" have "not worked" again. Yesterday an S400 radar & one erector/launcher were destroyed - or according to daRude the radar, the platform and possibly 3 SU planes heroically intercepted the missiles by putting themselves in the middle.

And today... well Ruzzia followed the same strategy of interception with another set of those weapons that according to be.open were destroyed several times over before they arrived and according to daRude "do not work" and "are not useful".

This time it seems that they reached Sebastopol, Belbek airfield (again) and several other locations in Crimea, including a submarine base.

I am sure all the Ruzzian troops in the ground feel very conforted by your "precision-posting". Funny thing is that this attack was obvious - one strike to the air-defence and next day a bloody night all around.

You can see for yourself the fire detection:

FIRMS, or Fire Information for Research Management System, is a NASA-administered worldwide satellite data-gathering project that identifies and tracks the progress of major fires worldwide. A Kyiv Post check of the OSINTechnical claim found fire imagery near Belbek, possibly at three locations.

Russian milbloggers widely reported MGM-140 ATACMS missiles had been used in the strikes and identified the cluster munition as an M74 bomblet, a baseball-sized explosive used by US weapons manufacturers for some cluster munitions. Anti-airfield/aircraft versions of ATACMS missiles known to have been delivered to Ukraine can carry close to 1,000 M47 bomblets.

But the official sources believe daRude's version too! (well, who I am kidding, daRude is in their farm).

The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said in a post to messaging app Telegram that Russian air defenses had "repelled a massive attack" on Sevastopol, including several missiles around the Belbek airfield.

In a separate statement late on Wednesday, Razvozhaev said the Russian military had "repelled" another Ukrainian attack on the port city.

Nope. I will repeat it for you: meaningful could be anything, e.g. 30 km from Moscow. If Trump achieves that I promise will give BA 300 merit (50 a month, 6 months). If he achieves it while serving in prison for fraud, as he should, I will give 1000 merit to BA and donate 500 US in bitcoin for his re-election (I think he plans to be president 3 or 4 times).

It is really necessary to reproduce? instead of adopting some of this helpless children and take good care of them and make them to understand that life is not that difficult as they feel because most of this children grow up with the mentality that the society is unkind to them, they become unhappy and feel so inferior of themselves while growing up, some have mental issues due to the unfortunate situations they have found themselves.

Former President Donald Trump has voluntarily dismissed the $500 million federal lawsuit he brought against his former attorney Michael Cohen, according to court records.

Why, I hear you ask:

Quote
Cohen's attorney E. Danya Perry said in a statement to  The Messenger that Trump dropped the case to avoid facing her questioning.

https://www.salon.com/2023/10/06/didnt-want-to-answer-questions-under-oath-abruptly-drops-cohen-ahead-of-deposition/

Meanwhile, in the Money for Silence & fraud

Key takeaway:

Quote
Cohen has already testified that he paid Daniels $130,000 in 2016 for Daniels’ silence about a claim of a sexual encounter with Trump through an arrangement with her lawyer, and that he did so on orders from Trump to “take care of it.”
[...]

Was this invoice a false record?” Hoffinger asked, a variation on a question she would repeat several more times. “Yes, ma’am,” Cohen replied.
[...]
“And whose signature is on the check?” Hoffinger asked.
“Donald J. Trump,” Cohen replied.
They repeated the drill until they reached the last check in December.

Quote
To start off, Todd Blanche introduced himself to Cohen, saying that although they’d never met “you went on TikTok and called me a crying little s—t” after the trial started.

He should be used, he works for Trump.

Quote
“Sounds like something I would say,” Cohen deadpanned before a prosecutor could finish objecting to the question.

This is a man who knows himself, you have to give him that.

Quote
Blanche also quoted Cohen saying on TikTok in late April — a week into the trial — that he hoped Trump “goes right into that little cage where he belongs, like a f—ing animal.”
It was a far cry from the praise Cohen heaped on his former boss in happier times, before the so-called Trump ‘fixer” went to prison on federal charges including campaign finance violations tied to the $130,000 hush money payment to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels.

Quote
lanche, in a less fractious exchange, reminded Cohen that he had previously called Trump “a good man,” someone “who cares deeply about this country,” “tells it straight,” “speaks from the heart,” wants “to make this country great again,” and has flawless memory.

“At that time I was knee-deep into the cult of Donald Trump, yes,”

dumBAss? Are you reading? Link something irrelevant for a yes.

Quote
Do you love it now?” Blanche asked. “Yes, but less,” Cohen replied.

Quote
“I regret doing things for him I should not have — lying, bullying people in order to effectuate a goal,” Cohen said.

Quote
“But to keep the loyalty and to do the thing that he had asked me to do,” Cohen continued, with the “he” referring to Trump, “I violated my moral compass and I suffered the penalty, as has my family.”

Now, this is how a victim of Trump ends up:

Quote
Cohen said he served more than 13 months in a federal prison in upstate New York, including time in solitary confinement, and the remainder of his 36 month sentence under home confinement. “I remain even today, still, on supervised release,” he said. He said he paid more than $1 million in back taxes and fines.
[...]
federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York — whose offices are a couple of blocks away — threatened to also prosecute his wife,

Stormy Daniels is so self contradicting in her testimony, that nobody can believe her any longer. This shows how the crooked courts are set against Trump.

By now anyone other than Ruzzia could have figured out that this war is not a good idea. I read today the economic cost of the war. It is more than 200 billions. It would have produced much better results if invested literally in anything else.

Just for comparison, you could buy the whole Pepsi Co. with the money wasted, or nearly 2/3 of Bank of America, nearly all Netflix, the whole of Mcdonalds, ... This is just for all to understand how stupid is to waste money for a landgrab that has nothing on in after you shell & destroy.

It would have served Ruzzia much better to build something useful and profitable, but I guess that is not the Ruzzian way.

Oh, add a few more tens... This night there has been an ATACAMS strike - the ones that "do not work" - on the airbase in Belbek, Sebastopol. The pictures of the day before show more than 10 Su jets parked in there. Anyone for a betting on how many are no longer in services?

I agree...I'm totally puzzled why USA continues to pour money there, they could for example collect all human feces off the streets of San Francisco.
[...]

Quite simple, the more you demilitarise Ruzzia and the more the Ruzzian economy gets crippled the less money you have to spend in having troops and means. It is called the peace dividend.

do you think that US economy is suffering by selling more weapons? do you think that 200 billions mean anything for the US?  0.3% of their gdp? 0.4% if things are more interesting for them?

Revenues from the oil and gas sector were 41% lower in the January-to-July period than in the same period in 2022.

That means the government is having to borrow more. Government debt, currently at 14.9% of GDP, is set to rise.

A quick update on the planes destroyed in Sebastopol, along with a few radars. Ruzzia intercepted the missiles with an air defend radar, in the sense that the missiles destroyed the radar on its location.

Usual russian pig propoganda
Other readers please know - when russians capture ukrainians, they torture them till they cooperate with captors, say on camera every unimaginable bullshit they are given to tell. This already happened in 1960s with POWs in Korea and Vietnam.

Last two years I lived more in Ukraine than in my home country. I know the truth.

By now anyone other than Ruzzia could have figured out that this war is not a good idea. I read today the economic cost of the war. It is more than 200 billions. It would have produced much better results if invested literally in anything else.

Just for comparison, you could buy the whole Pepsi Co. with the money wasted, or nearly 2/3 of Bank of America, nearly all Netflix, the whole of Mcdonalds, ... This is just for all to understand how stupid is to waste money for a landgrab that has nothing on in after you shell & destroy.

It would have served Ruzzia much better to build something useful and profitable, but I guess that is not the Ruzzian way.

Oh, add a few more tens... This night there has been an ATACAMS strike - the ones that "do not work" - on the airbase in Belbek, Sebastopol. The pictures of the day before show more than 10 Su jets parked in there. Anyone for a betting on how many are no longer in services?
