What does this mean? It means that Russia is totally justified in her actions.

Nonsense. It's like breaking into your neighbor's house because he voted for democrats. Although I'm not sure you'd be totally against that. Putinists (and Trumpists and other dictator-worshiping absolutists) tend to forget about laws and rights when it suits them.

You forget that Putin signed off on UN Charter Article 51. He IS legal in this police action of his. You forgot to quote the rest of my quote which shows a little of the why.

I know, I know. You're just upset that your hero, Putin, who you thought was going to be an aggressive war monger for the last 20 years - like you'd like to be - turns out to be a shrewd business man, not at all interested in war. So, you simply jumped over to the side of the aggressor who looked like it was peacefully business minded... the US.

I mean, consider NATO and the US, and the aggression they have done in all the police actions over the decades. Their excuse? "We're going to keep the peace if we have to start WW3 or WW4 to do it." When another nation, Russia in this case, tries to protect itself from US aggression, all of a sudden Russia is the bad guys.

Putin was most clever in this move he made. He knew NATO would send in armaments from many NATO nations. That's what he wanted. Now, because the world is scared that he might use his nukes, they'll let him take the NATO weapons away from NATO, to be used by him to take over the world. How sly and tricky of him.

One difference is that the Ukraine is helped by many countries from all over the world. And Ukraine is right on the border of Russia. But where is Russia helping a country from a distance like the US is away from Ukraine? And where is Russia helping this country to fight a bigger country right on its border?

There are lots of things that aren't being done fairly or rightly in this.

The Ukraine is so extremely outclassed, and will be even if they get lots of armament support from other countries, that they will died the death, shortly. Russia hasn't really even begun fighting.


Russia’s deployment of Iskander missiles to Kaliningrad is major threat to NATO: Here’s why



When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia, the biggest state in the USSR and around which the alliance was formed, inherited the bulk of weaponry it had arrayed against NATO.

That included a massive amount of ballistic missiles, many of which have remained in service and now form the backbone of Moscow’s A2AD — “anti-access/area denial” strategy for the allied security alliance.

But of course, not all of Russia’s ballistic missile stockpile, the largest in the world, is aged. In fact, many models are fairly new and all are extremely lethal, including the Iskander-M, a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), which NATO is particularly concerned with.

“The SS-26 Iskander missile has a range of approximately 400 to 500 kilometers, or about 250 to 310 miles,” The National Interest reports. “It can carry a variety of warhead types, including earth penetrator, high explosive or thermobaric.

“Export models have a shorter, 280-kilometer range (about 175 miles), and a smaller 480-kilogram payload (nearly 300 pounds), while the Russian service standard payload is 480 to 700 kilograms (300 to 430 pounds),” the report continued.

In addition, the report noted that the Iskander is also very accurate. It uses a combination of “inertial, GLONASS, and radar terrain correlation guidance, the missile can strike targets within a circular error probable (CEP) of 2 to 5 meters” — GLONASS being Russia’s version of our GPS.

In other words, the missiles have a 50 percent chance of landing some two to five meters away from a target, versus older SCUD-D missiles that have a CEP of 50 meters, making them far less accurate.
Brighteon.TV

What’s also notable about this model is that Iskander transporters are capable of carrying two missiles at one time in a side-by-side configuration. Also, the transporter features an armored roof to protect the cargo inside while the cabin itself also shields occupants from chemical biological, and nuclear hazards. Reloading vehicles that travel with the missile transporters on a battlefield are capable of reloading them quickly via a crane, the National Interest reported.

I would like to first thank you for the time you took to craft this answer.

Secondly, I found many good points in your interpretation.

Let me recap. The important part that could make abortion an okay thing is the absolute proof that a new life is not a person before such and such a time. Since there isn't any proof, but only judgmental guesses, we just don't know that abortions are not murders, at any stage.
I think the problem can be confined to the medical consensus that the fetus becomes alive, for example, when its heart begins to beat (this is only for example) and a law is formulated on a scientific basis under the guidance of the scientific community. And if we recognized the right of one person to life, why would we cancel the right of another person to make effort and time that he may not be able to to take care of a child?
Let's take the example of a couple who decide to have children and during the first weeks of pregnancy they have lost all their money and decided that the person who will be born will suffer in their upbringing, why continue an experiment that is clearly going to fail?
The bill is supposed to not be biased to one party over the other.

Consensus does not make truth. There are many scientific and medical consensuses that have been overturned when the truth came to light. A simple one is the belief that there were canals on Mars. Another is the Theory of Relativity, which does not work regarding all microscopic physics, though most people aren't aware of this. A current one is that Covid is a pandemic in virus form, when it's really a media pandemic.

Although it is unlikely that we will be executed for having an IQ of under 190, such a thing might become the norm at a distant future. But when you are 80-y-o, do you want to be in fear of being euthanized simply for being 80? Because we don't know if the faulty consensus is the truth or not, why are you so willing to die when you might be in the best of health? I mean, the laws might become such, if abortion is made easier.

Further, since we are dealing with the life of a person, it's the promise being held in trust when the parents get together. Of course, science uses their metaphysical soul/spirit/mind to say that there isn't any metaphysical, so it seems right to them. For the parents, why not use contraceptives? And if they are worried about wealth circumstances, things change backward and forward, and they can make it work a different way, without taking the chance of murdering their own offspring.

Looks like the Ukraine is getting help from small outlets in America, LOL.


Miami police try, fail to explain how it’s legal for their department to ship guns to Ukraine



The Miami Police Department is about to get into a heap of trouble with a “gun buyback” program they are running on behalf of the country of Ukraine.

According to a report in The Truth About Guns, the department’s buyback program has been advertised specifically as a means of collecting firearms that can then be shipped to Ukraine to help in their war to beat back a Russian invasion. Only, the plan is rife with legal problems.

For one, the department currently does not possess a firearms export license or state permit from the various regimes to export guns to any country, but officials say the department is working on obtaining them.

In the meantime, the “GUNS 4 UKRAINE” buyback, held over the weekend, proceeded, with Miami Police spokeswoman Officer Kenia Fallat telling reporters that the firearms collected at the buyback will summarily be shipped to the Ukraine.

There were no Russians in Donbas/Crimea before 2014. Those that came after 2014 are tourists/terrorists, without visas.

I think you have little idea of the population of Donbass and Novorossia.

I agree. This is basically a civil war.

The Ukraine has involved the US and a bunch of West European countries to help them.

Russian always has help from China.

Good idea, because...

The people are so ignorant about how 90% of the medical is a big scam, that they need to get what they deserve for not checking things out ahead.

Besides, killing off 50% of the people like the vaxx will do, will leave things open for the rest of us who are smarter.

I mean, people should believe in God, not medicine. All those unbelievers who will not turn to God will get the economy they deserve... at least until then start to see that God is right. Of course, most of them woll be dead by then. I mean, this is exactly what happened to the Old Testament people who believed in man more than they believed in God.

Remembering how the EUput pressure on Lithuania during the conflict with China, I have a damn doubt they support their ally in the conflict with Russia. In the place of Lithuania, I wont count on anything from the EU other than requests/threats to cede to Russia.

Lithuania is in NATO, so it's unlikely to cede anything tangible. If the Baltic states hadn't joined NATO I'm sure Putin would have invaded them first and not Georgia or Ukraine.

Economically there is also not much to lose. Trade with Russia is under massive sanctions for decades to come.

If NATO-style militarizing of the former Soviet countries wasn't happening, Putin, seeing what a mess the USSR was in the past, would try to re-conquer those countries with economy rather than the military.

The USSR didn't work. People don't like being enslaved and they rebel. But treat them fairly with good trade, and they will become your allies voluntarily.

What is happening all over the NATO countries is, the Communistic ideals have won in the US Government. How do we know? NATO is built on the idea of military conquest. All Russia was looking for was free trade until the US and NATO pushed them into military action to protect themselves.

How do we know this? NATO is military, right? Where is NATO located? In countries around Russia. Do we see a Russian form of NATO in Mexico or Canada or Central America (even though some of these countries are a bit Communistic)? NO! The aggression is NATO and the US, not Russia.

What does this mean? It means that Russia is totally justified in her actions.

4513  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Europe's independence requires breaking away from Oil and Gas on: June 26, 2022, 05:39:11 PM
The fact that prices of oil are sky rocketing and volatile should push them to look for alternatives

Yes. The big question is will alternatives be a) gas from a different supplier, or b) a different source of energy.

Short-term the answer will be a different supplier, as that's the only immediate fix. But I remain hopeful that this will add extra impetus to the move to renewables... after all, if you're importing gas and oil from somewhere else, then you're always dependent on that somewhere else being reliable, not vastly inflating their prices, not starting a psychotic sanction-inducing genocidal rampage across Europe, etc. The only way to be self-sufficient for a lot of countries is renewables.

If it does happen, and renewables become more of a focus, then it's a bit of an indictment of society that it will be $$$ that have triggered the shift rather than, you know, a desire to save the planet. But it seems that's always the way.

Whatever and wherever the new source, it's going to be way more costly than what it would have been to not have antagonized Russia in the first place. I wonder if Russia would accept them back if they said they were wrong, returned to their former ways, and tried to become friends of Mother Russia, again.

4514  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USA Bans the right to abortion on: June 26, 2022, 05:31:36 PM
Honestly, I did not expect this to come from a country the size and stature of the United States. The issuance of this law is a clear and explicit violation of a universal principle, which is human freedom and his right to choose.
The woman has the right to choose whether to become a mother or not, especially since the decision to become pregnant was not and cannot be unilateral as long as the presence of a male is obligatory for the operation to take place.
Before the fetus reaches the age of three months, I think that the mother has the right to abandon the idea for any reason, even if she initially wanted.

For religious systems to be prohibited by divine order, this is somewhat reprehensible since God cannot be discussed, but in man-made systems, I do not understand why many legislations insist on codifying this matter. Is the state really responsible for what happens in the vaginas of female citizens?

Whatever the legal points might have been for the abortion ban, the basic point, legal or non-legal, is that after conception there is a new person. The first 9 months, usually inside the body of the mother, are simply a stage in the life of a person. Why? Because it is judgmental to suggest when the new life becomes a person. Nobody has proof for when. So abortion (if there is death) could be murder. Let's err on the side of caution, and not potentially kill a person.

Why is this important to both, those in favor and those against abortion? Because, since there isn't any proof for when a new life becomes a person, legalized abortion based on it not being a person yet, is really saying that "government" has a right to decide who is eligible to be called a person at any stage of life.

This means that anybody could be euthanized just because a governing body decides that such and such a person is not really a person, but is simply a lump of excess cellular tissues.



Let me recap. The important part that could make abortion an okay thing is the absolute proof that a new life is not a person before such and such a time. Since there isn't any proof, but only judgmental guesses, we just don't know that abortions are not murders, at any stage.



And again, why is that important for you? Because someday somebody might legalize the death of excess tissues, based on its IQ of less than 190. That would mean that you and I and most of the people on the planet would be simple cannon fodder, simple excess tissues, to be exterminated without any kind of due process or rights. Do you really want to be in that position? The new life in Mommy's tummy doesn't want death without proof, either. How do we know? Because he or she is growing faster than at any other time of life. They want life, not death.

If Biden decides to go to war with Russia - See: Branko's video at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5382794.msg60399187#msg60399187 - none of that stuff will matter.

Banks don't print the money that they conjure into existence. It's simply on-the-books money... in the computers. However, when you finally understand the bottom line of how the money system really works, you will see that the banks don't conjure money into existence. Rather, they use perfectly logical and legal methods for bringing the money into existence.

The problem with the legal method they use, it's unconscionable at the same time it is legal. A bunch of lawmakers of more than 100 years ago brought it into existence. And it works extremely well, even though it is bound to fail sometime. Why fail? Because it is full of hidden lies that are difficult for anybody to put together from the legal wording.

Yes but they have to follow the inflation rate second option is to approve stable coins so if there is too many coins they just burn so u have to spend before your usdt or usdc are gone....this way its better way to control inflation...back to topic...so no qe no war also QE means bonds buying but no bonds if no mortgage or other credit contracts....the new generation 18-25 years old who will be the new ones who will borrow money will be age 18-25 by the next year so then there is enough bonds materials what can be used to give validation for the printing money and then its possible war becouse of QE 
Everything works exacky way so you should learn how our world works so you can make better conclusions.


Are we talking about the same thing? If Russia and the US go to REAL war, crypto won't mean squat. A mere Executive Order declaring war, by Biden, could put the whole money system on hold until after the war. By then circumstances will have changed enough that there might not be any problems to bank about. Of course, common folks will never know how things were changed beyond QT and QE.

The logic is very simple - Ukraine now really needs some kind of significant military victory over Russia, so that the flow of military aid from the West will increase significantly and not dry up at all. And for this, to provoke Russia into a suicidal assault on the powerful fortified areas in Avdiivka is a good enough idea. Yesterday, at an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said that a direct assault on Avdiivka is not expedient (in other words, Russia cannot afford it now).

Now, in response, explain what logic Russia has to shell the residential areas of Donetsk, when the DPR is an ally of Russia in this operation and the main goal of Russia is to protect the Donbass?
I don't know, it still doesn't make sense why Ukraine would need to do it. In recent weeks Ukraine losing 100-200 soldiers every day, it's huge number, it's difficult to imagine that at same time they would want to provoke Russia to attack them in another direction.
In your link Putin said that they don't want to turn cities that they ''liberate'' into another Stalingrad, though, they already did it with Mariupol.
Actions of Russia don't always have logic. I don't know who exactly did it, Russia or DPR, but im general it's same stuff. No idea why they are doing it. Maybe DPR are doing it in order to get more help from Russia and that they would intensify actions against Ukraine. And I'm not saying that Ukraine didn't shell Donetsk.

The reason why shutting down the global economy to fight Covid is a good thing, doesn't have anything to do with Covid, the disease.

In the first year of Covid, 2020, in the US, of the, say, 500,000 people that supposedly died from Covid, 94% really died from comorbidities. Look it up. They were mostly people that had some disease like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, other terminal disease, who really died from doctors treating them in the wrong way, because they were4 (are still) ignorant about Covid.

And the 6% that didn't have one of these comorbid diseases, died from the doctors treating them the wrong way as well.

Presently, most of the Covid deaths by far are from vaxx induced Covid... which, btw, the doctors still are treating the wrong way.

But here is the reason why shutting down the global economy is good, especially in the States. It's because the people still believe and trust the doctors! The people haven't waked up. So, if we get the economy to shut down, the doctors will be out of business, because the patients will all die from starvation if nothing else.

It seems to be the only way to get rid of the corrupt medical.
