Israel did it. Israel believes in the same God as Charlie Kirk... the God of the Bible. The difference is that they don' believe that Jesus was/is the Messiah promised of old. They think that the Messiah hasn't come yet. Charlie believed that Jesus was/is the Messiah.

The thing that Israel doesn't want is an up-and-coming popular politician who is a force for the idea that Jesus is the Messiah. It's something that might overturn their control of the US government.

Russia's government doesn't simply think something up and then act. That was the USSR that did that.

Today Russia is a constitutional democracy. Except in real emergencies, Putin has to follow the Russian rules for deciding to do something.[...]

BA, tell me, what is required to have a democracy.

I am saying this because once again you are spreading fake.

Do you really need me to show you how to do a search? But being the nice guy that I am, I'll help you. Try Requirements for a democracy - https://duckduckgo.com/?t=waterfox&q=Requirements+for+a+democracy&ia=web.

I haven't looked at the timeline or the Russian constitution, but some time ago Putin was elected president. Then, after a time, Medvedev was elected president. Then after a little while Putin was elected president, again. Sounds like a Democracy.

If you are really that interested in the Russian Democracy, you might start by looking at the Russian constitution - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Russian+constitution&t=waterfox&ia=web.



In the US, the government is a Democracy, and the people are a Republic that doesn't touch the Democracy except by contract law... the Contract Clause of the Constitution. The President is elected by the Electoral College. Others are elected in different ways. It's a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

The Russian Democracy isn't the same. But it is enough of a Democracy that it is a Democracy.

Russia's government doesn't simply think something up and then act. That was the USSR that did that.

Today Russia is a constitutional democracy. Except in real emergencies, Putin has to follow the Russian rules for deciding to do something. And part of those rules are to act within UN parameters.

Russia's so-called 'invasion' of Ukraine was done by Russia according to the Russian government rules, and the UN rules.

The Western media has been lying to people about what is really going on. Russia knows this, and has been preparing militarily for NATO and EU attacks that are outside of their (NATO and EU) own laws and outside of UN laws.

As people are gradually waking up to this, things are changing with regard to NATO and EU people, and relation to their own governments. If NATO and the EU don't make war happen soon, their own people will put their leaders down.

One of the ways that the people will do this is by doing the same thing that the peoples of the Black Sea Corridor (BSC) did before the so-called Russian invasion. According to UN allowances, they tried to form their own nations - 5 of them - which Ukraine attacked militarily. They asked Russia for help, and Russia did so in Feb. 2022.

In the US, something like 34% of Texans want Texas to leave the United States. If they knew UN law, they could do it with a section of Texas, and the US and Texas would be breaking UN law by trying to stop them. Many other US States have high percentages of people who want to leave the US, as well.

In other words, the whole UN system and the countries of the world are falling apart internally as people want their freedom. US people thought they were getting MAGA with Trump. He was the last straw. And now he is turning against them. Doesn't look like peace anywhere.

First, are we sure it was Russia? There have been many downed Russian drones in Ukraine. With a little adaptation, Ukraine could be the one who resurrected and then sent these drones into Poland, afterward blaming Russia.


There are only two things that keep any country or anybody from doing whatever they want:
1. Lack of strength to do it;
2. Their honoring of their agreements - written or unwritten - with others to NOT do it.

Depending on who they have agreements with, and the details of the agreements, this could take some time to determine. They need to hash over the wording and the intent (spirit) of the agreements.


If it was indeed Russia that sent the drones on purpose... Russia doesn't do this without provocation. Since Poland seems to be sending troops to fight in Ukraine against Russia, Poland has set itself up to be an enemy of Russia. If Poland hasn't done this directly, they need to monitor their borders better, to keep Polish mercenaries from going into Ukraine, at least through the Polish-Ukraine borders.

The thing that Russia wanted in the first place was Ukraine to be a neutral land. Russia wanted NATO and the EU to stay out.

The second thing Russia wanted was for the Ukraine to take heed to the UN statement that people of the member states had the right to form their own state if they wanted. The Black Sea Corridor (BSC) people of the areas that Russia is liberating were trying to form states (their own countries), which the UN allows... since Ukraine is a member of the UN.

Russia attacked after Ukraine built up its military and started striking the BSC states militarily. Russia moved to stop them.


Now, in addition to Ukraine breaking UN international law in #2 above, Zelensky, as dictator, is selling off parts of Ukraine to the EU. Since Ukraine already has the war, now the EU is inviting itself into opposition against Russia in a direct way.

It has been said that it is illegal by the Ukraine constitution to rid itself of any of its lands. But here Z is, going against his own constitution - a thing he wouldn't do when his own people wanted to form their own nations - giving his lands away to the EU.

If Russia was trying to act honorably before, the honorable thing to do now is to formally defend herself from the EU militarily. And this military activity should be done against whichever EU countries are taking over Ukraine land.

Of course, Russia should only act in Ukraine until that part of the war is over. Then Russia should review UN law and figure out the best way to correct the EU taking land of Ukraine problem.


Note that various sections of peoples of various NATO and EU countries - especially Britain and Germany - would like to be their own nation. Russia could help them all... little wars and rebellions right inside those countries, all trying to form themselves into their own nation, legitimized by UN law... with Russia supplying the military for all those new little countries.

I wonder how Russia would handle little states of their own people right in Russia. That said, large percentages of many States in the US want to pull out of the United States. If they studied UN law, they could do it legally.

And what are they after. Life and prosperity. The best way to get it is to get away from Zelensky... the fastest, easiest way possible. Once that is done, then they can figure out the rest.

Many Ukrainians in Ukraine - those who couldn't escape - are feeding Russia with the coordinates of drone manufacturing plants, and other military centers of Ukraine. All Russia has to do is confirm it with satellite photos, and then act on the info. And that is what Russia is doing.

Ukraine troops are caught between a rock and a hard place. They can't surrender, because their own commanders will execute them if they try. So do some make-believe fighting, and hope Russia will take them prisoner rather than outright executing them.

Note that it has to do with the greed of the Western bankers. Many countries are trying to get out from under the Western banking system. BRICS is what that is all about.

Western banking has to do with 'paper'... contracts and agreements, that the Western banks convert into new money. That's really where inflation comes from. Once the BRICS nations realized this, their personal greed, and their wish for freedom from Western banks, caused them to get together under BRICS.

Will it work? Will they be able to throw off Western banking? The West has a more-than-100-year head start.

That's what this is all about.

Whatever losses may have occurred in Russia from Ukraine drone and missile attacks (really Western Europe attacks), Russia is continuing its moves on Ukraine... and especially Kiev. If you want to stay in Kiev, that's up to you. But expect that your life will be in more danger as time rolls on. Expect that Zelensky won't be there. He'll be off somewhere recruiting more funds, etc., from the West.


Russia Strikes Ukraine Government Complex, Near Zelensky's Office, In War's Biggest Air Attack



https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-strikes-ukraine-government-complex-near-zelenskys-office-wars-biggest-air
After a summer which has seen literally dozens of Ukrainian cross-border attacks on Russia's vital oil and energy infrastructure, President Putin is increasingly going gloves off, hitting 'decision-making centers' in Ukraine with drone and missile strikes, something previously not seen in well over three years of war.

Russia launched its largest-ever aerial assault on Ukraine early Sunday, sending over 800 drones across the country, which included decoys. The prior largest strike, which happened in July, saw around 730 drones sent. At least nine missiles also made impact on Sunday, local officials said. Some sources say the fresh assault may be seen up to 1,000 projectiles launched.

Crucially, this is the first ever aerial strike directly targeted Ukraine's cabinet of ministers, a major government complex in the heart of central Kiev. Government buildings in the capital have thus far been sparred in the Russian 'special military operation' (SMO) - but Sunday's attack suggests the Kremlin could be turning toward all-out war.

It certainly at the very least is a loud warning at a moment Ukraine has been escalating its own cross-border drone attacks on oil refineries, defense sector factories, and Russian airbases. At least five Ukrainians were killed in the new nation-wide, broad drone assault - including a woman and child in the capital, the NY Times reports.

AFP has said that one of its correspondents witnessed flames engulfing the roof of the cabinet building, verified in emerging photos, with thick smoke rising above the center part of the capital. Several high-rise apartment buildings also were reportedly struck and suffered damage.

The same report noted that for the first time of the conflict, emergency crews are battling blazes at a central government complex, with helicopters seen overhead doing water-drop runs. This government area of the city is typically well-guarded by anti-air defenses, and it looks like the Russians overwhelmed these systems.

Up To 37% Of Circulating Bitcoin May Be Lost Forever In Silent Supply Shock



https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/bitcoins-hidden-scarcity-lost-coins-and-silent-supply-shock
Estimates from on-chain analyses suggest that between 2.3 million and an incredible 7.8 million BTC (roughly between 11—37% of total supply), may have vanished forever, trapped in lost wallets, forgotten keys, or in addresses abandoned due to unexpected deaths. These 'zombie' or 'ghost' coins then effectively reduce Bitcoin's effective circulating supply from the current 19.9 million to as low as a range of 12.1—17.6 million BTC.

A Donation to Everyone

As well as intensifying Bitcoin's existing inherent scarcity, coins that permanently vanish boost the true value of all remaining Bitcoins. As Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator/creators, stated in a foresightful observation in April 2010 in a post on the BitcoinTalk forum: "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone."

The lost coin range estimate (2.3—7.8 million) also comfortably exceeds the combined total of Bitcoin ETF and corporate treasury holdings which together total approximately 2.2 million BTC, a point rarely highlighted by a mainstream financial media fixated on the latest Blackrock Bitcoin ETF inflows and [Micro]Strategy's latest BTC purchases.

No Keys, No Coins

Bitcoin's rarity is thus magnified by these permanent losses, as the lost coin supply shock increases the value of every remaining coin, in contrast to traditional centralised assets such as stocks or bonds, In Bitcoin, there is no safety net. Once access is gone, the coins are effectively removed from circulation.

With a self-custodial architecture of 'be your own bank' but on an immutable blockchain, any lost and inaccessible coins on the Bitcoin network remain visible but untouchable. There is no bank and no bailout - only the owner and their private keys.

The familiar warning about exchange-held BTC of "not your keys, not your coins" now becomes the even more dramatic "no keys, no coins" in the off-exchange world.

Bitcoin relies on private keys (unique 256-bit cryptographic strings) to control and transfer ownership between addresses. Forgotten passwords, lost seed phrases, overwritten files, corrupted drives, or discarded hardware all result in irreversible inaccessibility.

If an honest vote were taken of the Ukrainian people - including the ones who have fled the war - more of them would side with Russia than with the EU.

Most of the people fled to the EU.
That makes your statement a joke.



People going to the EU has nothing to do with where their hearts and their vote lie. It has to do with their money.

If a person lives in South or West Ukraine, and he wants to leave the country, where does he go and why? He goes where he can afford to go. And, he isn't going to cross Ukraine through a new Ukraine government that is against him.

This means Europe West, which is right next to him, and is easy to get to. Just because he went to Europe, doesn't mean he is in favor of what Zelensky is doing. It means it was the easy, practical, affordable way to get out of a coming war... getting away from what Z was doing.

Now that he understands that it was Europe that was pulling Z's strings, and MI6 that was doing the election fraud, he is in a big quandary.

You are probably the only person on this forum who would deny the law of gravity if there was a good excuse and opportunity to do so, really.
Water cannot be used as fuel because hydrogen (which is actually a fuel) cannot be obtained from water without investing electrical energy to separate it from oxygen, it is basic chemistry, one does not even need to go college and get a title in chemistry or engineering to realize why one cannot use water as fuel without opting for nuclear fusion, we are talking of combustion not fusion.

Have you ever heard of the expanding universe? Science has known that the universe is expanding for a long time. In fact, the expanding universe is what the whole idea of the Big Bang is all about.

There probably isn't any gravity. It's all inertia. It feels like gravity because we are expanding with it. Check out Neal Adams - Science: 01 - Conspiracy: Earth is Growing! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJfBSc6e7QQ.

There is a whole lot of stuff about science that the universities hide from us as much as they can. Water is H2O - hOh. But there is a form of water that acts differently than standard water. It is H2O in the form 'hhO'. There is a difference.
