This word - even more so than "8 years" etc - is the badge of a devoted consumer of Kremlin propaganda.

It's hard to even find an analogy to explain its absurdity... probably like saying that the Golden Horde is now invading Ukraine.

So now grain, sunflower oil and extracted meal are the next to follow the March decision to charge clients from "unfriendly" countries – including major customers in Europe – in rubles for natural gas instead of the normative dollars and euros.

On top of this move, recently Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev announced that Russia's agricultural products will go to "friendly countries" only, and according to "who needs it most" – a hugely significant statement sure to continue sowing uncertainty and chaos for the global food supply.

Via Farmdocdaily:

"Russia and Ukraine account for 14% of global wheat production and rank 1stand 5threspectively. Both countries are prominent exporters, providing nearly 30% of global wheat exports.  The EU, U.S., and Canada are also major producers and exporters of wheat.  China and India are major wheat producers, but are net importers and provide relatively small shares of global wheat exports.  Other countries with fairly large wheat export shares include Australia (8.4%), Argentina (6.6%), Kazakhstan (4.1%), and Turkey (3.4%)."

Russian state media detailed further of the new decree published to a government law portal, "It also provides for a one-year extension of duties to be paid in the national currency in respect of exported sunflower oil and sunflower meal until August 31, 2023."

Meanwhile, The New York Times earlier in the summer assessed just where things stand on the US-EU efforts to inflict severe and lasting damage on the Russian economy, writing that “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered global condemnation and tough sanctions aimed at denting Moscow’s war chest. Yet Russia’s revenues from fossil fuels, by far its biggest export, soared to records in the first 100 days of its war on Ukraine, driven by a windfall from oil sales amid surging prices, a new analysis shows.”

What the hell is wrong with you, I can't understand if you're trolling or if you're actually serious. You're actually criminalizing abortion and comparing it with plain murder? We're not in the medieval age anymore, deal with it. We're in the 21st century, and if someone for whatever reason doesn't want or is incapable of having a baby, you can't force it on him/her.

If someone was raped, was in an abusive relationship (and I could think of plenty of other examples), for some, it's much more preferable to have an abortion rather than grow a child in an abusive environment.

The United States is unlikely to survive more than a few weeks of heavy warfare against another industrialized power.

In a recent episode of “Health Ranger Report,” Mike Adams pointed out that the U.S. isn’t even able to properly arm its ally Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia. (Related: Biden announces MASSIVE military expansion in Europe in response to string of Russian victories in Ukraine.)

Adams further noted that the war in Ukraine, while the biggest war Europe has seen in nearly a century, is really just a small-scale operation. “It was a special military operation from the beginning. I wouldn’t even call it a war … not yet, anyway,” said Adams. “Maybe it’s going that direction, but the question is, can the United States even sustain a war?”

To support his arguments, Adams cited an article by retired Lt. Col. Alex Vershinin published on the website of the Royal United Services Institute, a think tank focusing on issues of defense and international security.

In the article, titled “The Return of Industrial Warfare,” Vershinin argued that the scale of combat in Ukraine shows that the West, and America in particular, needs the kind of industrial capacity it had during World War II to still be called the “arsenal of democracy.”

“The effort to arm, feed and supply these armies is a monumental task,” wrote Vershinin.

Vershinin pointed out that the winner in a prolonged war between two or more powers of relatively equal strength is the side with the stronger industrial base. This means a country needs to have the manufacturing capacity to produce enough weapons, ammunition and heavier military hardware, or otherwise have manufacturing industries that can be used in the war effort.

“Unfortunately, the West no longer seems to have either,” wrote Vershinin.

America doesn’t produce enough weapons or ammo to wage war

In an analysis of American weapons production, Vershinin noted that America would run out of ammo for its artillery guns within 10 days to two weeks, or maybe three weeks if stockpiles were rationed, if the country were to enter a war in which it would use relatively the same number of artillery rounds used by Russia in Ukraine.

And if men had any sense, they wouldn't get women pregnant.  Men shouldn't put themselves in a position where they can impregnate someone.  But that's never going to happen either. - Absolutely correct. But it is not the man who is aborting the new life. So, the focus is on the woman.

Why is it all the reprehensible misogynists with morals straight out of the dark ages think they're in any position to decide what happens to other people?  Oh, that's right, your religious beliefs have indoctrinated you to believe you're better than everyone else.  But in reality you're a disgusting example of what humanity has to offer. - Why should it be the right of the woman to murder another person, one who is trusting her for upkeep and nourishment? Does she think that she is suddenly better than the murderer who uses a gun or knife to murder?

I hope to fuck you never reproduce.  You having the potential to bring life into this world is the best possible argument in favour of abortion there is. - And I hope that the blind spot in your thinking opens up so you can see what is wrong with murder in any form.

Dude this is 2022, we are not in the 18th or 19th century, the era has come a long way.

Girls are no longer confined to the four walls of the house, they are completely independent. It is up to the independent woman to decide whether she will have a baby or not.

Pregnancy is not always in consent, most pregnancies are accidental. In that case, I don't see why would a girl/woman be forced to be a mother!! If the opinion of others is forced, then fundamental rights have no value. Such a decision taken by the USA is really worthy of harsh criticism. People can't just change their minds about something completely irrational.

Fun fact: one might thing that world leaders will have good tailors, but some of them have much too long pants.

Capital punishment is immoral, just like abortion.

Whether you approach the idea of Capital punishment morally or pragmatically or religiously, you will reach the same conclusion. Capital punishment is wrong.

I'm waiting for your comment when you have to realize about Russia's devastated economy, people in occupied parts of Ukraine will trash Russian local leaders and Putins circle will collapse itself because oligarchs are getting mad at him.  
And don't forget: Russian military needs western micro chips.
Very bad idea of Russia to invade Ukraine...
We don't know why Russia invaded.

Maybe ask Russia's braindead 'leader'

I get that some may have this authority currently.. I'm just curious why you as an individual would be OK with one set of human beings having this authority with their citizens, but not OK with another human being having this authority with their own baby.



If your goal is to stop murderers - someone who kills another person.. it seems counter-productive to desire a process which creates larger groups of them.

What caused this?
a) Vaccines.
b) God did it! But he couldn't be bothered to save lives until the exact same time that the vaccination programme began.
c) How dare you? I'm ideologically opposed to facts.

Why would you be OK with a government/court having the power to kill another human being.. but not be willing to give the same power to a person growing their own offspring inside of them?

Don't pretend to be buddy-buddy with me. I read your posts. You are much worse than he is.

In fact, if it were up to me you would be in prison for spreading misinformation and inciting hatred towards innocent Ukrainians, which indirectly led to them being tortured and killed by the people who believed your bullshit.

And you keep supporting Russia as if Putin personally pays you. Karma will come back to you one day.

In a majority opinion authored by chief justice John Roberts, the justices ruled that in the latest example of Democratic overreach, the Environmental Protection Agency was not specifically authorized by Congress to reduce carbon emissions when it was set up in 1970. The ruling leaves the Biden administration dependent on passing legislation if it wants to implement sweeping regulations to curb emissions.

The opinion from the court's conservative majority said that "a decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body". The justices added they doubted Congress intended to delegate the question of "how much coal-based generation there should be over the coming decades, to any administrative agency".

Another Supreme Court decision has leftists howling as they discover their “green” dreams for the country may never come true.

According to reports, a majority opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts states that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the authority to reduce carbon emissions, which leftists says is necessary to stop “global warming” and “climate change.”

The landmark ruling effectively curbs the EPA’s ability to limit greenhouse gases, a move that sides with coal miners, the fossil fuel industry at large, and various Republican-led states that are not interested in seeing an economic collapse.

Fossil fuels are a necessary part of modern commerce. They also fuel the production of food. Without them, society and a large percentage of the population would disappear.

When the EPA was first established in 1970, authority was never granted to it to restrict what types of fuel people and companies could use. This means that Joe Biden’s recent decrees in promotion of the left’s radical climate agenda are null and void, unless Congress decides to pass legislation for them the constitutional way.

“The opinion from the court’s conservative majority said that ‘a decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,'” reports Zero Hedge.

“The justices added they doubted Congress intended to delegate the question of ‘how much coal-based generation there should be over the coming decades, to any administrative agency.'”

Justice Kagan and her left-wing cohorts believe that CO2 is a “pollutant,” allowing it to be regulated by EPA

Justice Elena Kagan and the other two leftist justices issued a dissenting opinion, arguing that the EPA has the authority to regulate “stationary sources” of substances that are deemed “harmful” to the public.

The left, in case you did not know, believes that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a pollutant that must be eradicated. The truth, of course, is that plants breathe CO2 so that we can breathe their released oxygen. Without CO2, in other words, everything would die.
