I must say that there are many Russophobes among the Russians, because in large numbers they are fleeing Russia.

Putin's popularity in Russia is about 80%. Is it like this because of all the Russophobes who left Russia? Lol. But you gotta consider that many of the Russophobes left Russia to go to Ukraine to help with the police action against Ukraine. They aren't really Russophobes, are they? But they DID leave Russia, didn't they... to go fight in Ukraine? Lol.

Now, compare that with Ukrainophobes. It's like 80% of the Ukrainian population left Ukraine. Why? Could they be on Russia's side, simply getting out of the way so that Russia could do its job against the Ukraine Nazi's?

Ukrainophobes were fed up with the Ukraine government long before Zelensky moved in. Zelensky was the final straw. Ukraine's population is so small, now, that all the money and armament that the US and Nato are shipping in isn't enough to stop the Russians.

You plainly don't know what you are blabbing about.

Cool

All the "information" on this post is false. Putin's popularity is not measured by any trustable standard, 2 Million Russians already voted with their feet by migrating, even to countries that are not really that attractive. And the population of Russia has been on the decline for more than a two decades.

The RF invasion of Ukraine is only related to Putin's ambitions in the territory, there is no ideological background to it. Many Ukrainians gave their lives during WW II fighting against the III Reich. The Soviet Union had at least one prime minister of Ukrainian origin. Ukraine has effectively stopped the RF army and recovered territory. The population of Ukraine is enough to fight, because today's wars are much more about technology, training and moral (hint, a Vagnerite taken from a prison to the front classes as "low moral" and "immoral" btw).

There will always be racism and fascism, but there is no threat to the Russian culture, traditions or any other expression that could be classed as "Russian". Please, be all very aware of the current RF government trying to appear to be a defender of "values", they are not, they are just criminals. The divide is artificial and voiced by a government that need their population to hate others to hide their own ineptitude. A classic tactic - if things go poorly at home, look for an enemy outside.
A clear proof that the government is not concerned with Russophobia is the war itself - unless they believe that people will love them for killing others.


Russophobia was caused by the government controlled media of the West. The media is controlled in such a way that it hides hide the fact that it is controlled by government. Stalin made this Russophobia to have a basis in being real. The media simply expanded on it.

Wake up. Stalin is long gone. His ideals might still be held by many people, but these ideals are waning, as well. However, Russia under Stalin did have one thing that is good... strength. The way this strength was managed was what was wrong.

The thing that we are talking about is US control through the money system. The money system controls the governments of the West. And they are the ones who are creating Russophobia through the media. And because you were personally or family hurt by somebody-Russia or something-Russia, you have blown the whole Russophobia idea way out of proportion.

Cool

Its good because it works great for penetrating enemy armour, and it will also
greatly affect cancer mortality in the area in years to come...paxmao and other
anglosaxons don't really care if Ukrainians or Russians will die, same as
both Serbs and Albanians die in Kosovo

https://www.dw.com/en/uranium-risks-haunt-kosovo-survivors/a-16366645

Nah, got a few of those guesses wrong Branko. What makes you think I am Anglo-Saxon?

The question was not "what do I think about it" it was "what do you think it is being sent there". The answer is that Abrams tanks use it.

No, the long term mortality from depleted uranium munition is nothing like a dirty bomb, but yes, it has been questioned, curiously enough, for the effects on people on the logistic chain. I do not see why would they send it to fight in allied territory, which is much more worrying to think.

BTW, not caring looks more like shooting and fighting and shelling around the largest nuclear plant in Europe. Does that ring a bell? Unless you consider that it was "for every Slav best interests" - to risk the biggest ever nuclear meltdown in the middle of the lands inhabited mostly by Slavs with winds that would take them even deeper into Slav territories. But of course... that was Ukraine attacking the RF. Was it not?

Latest logrolling gossip.
Moldavia to be offered Budjak region (13,188 km2) in exchange for Transnistria (4,163 km2). Thus Moldavia gaining sea access, but must remain Neutral. Transnistria to be part of "Odessa People's Republic".
Ah, forgot some still of the opinion Ukraine has some say in the matter.

https://youtu.be/7il-yCKySGE



LOL, and what is source of this gossip? ....

Talking to someone (babushka) who originates from there and it is "talk of the town".

Edit:
Why does Ukraine need depleted uranium?
https://rumble.com/v2bn3f8-us-sends-depleted-uranium-amo-to-ukraine.html

Depleted Uranium, you mean like the depleted uranium that is used in AT shells in the Abrams combat tank and provide an extra of effective armour penetration when used against rolled steel angled armours like the ones in the T70, T90 and (if they ever get them to work) the Armata? You mean that type of depleted uranium that could potentially be used in those conventional weapons battles now that Ukraine is at war and Russia seems to have plenty of tanks?

Oh... who knows. Maybe Ukraine is thinking of destroying Russian tanks by shooting at them, but my guess only... you know. My guess again, but there is only one type of tank that can use that munition so... does that make you have your own educated guess on why could that be?

1164  Other / Politics & Society / Why the population of Russia has decreased for decades on: March 05, 2023, 11:49:27 PM
Before opinions, a few facts:
- The population in Russia is missing the people between 20 and 30 years. They are simply not there:



- Life expectancy is around 70 years, compared to nearly 80 average in Europe. In Ukraine is more than 73 BTW.

- People leave Russia more than they come. Like a lot more.

Quote
Net loss of one person every 30 seconds[19] One net migrant every 4 minutes

- Population has been declining steadily since the early 90s. Abortion is sky-high and natality very low. Russians do not want children (or more likely, they cannot afford children).

https://www.rand.org/pubs/issue_papers/IP162.html

- One of the reasons why some (https://www.ft.com/content/8c576a9c-ba65-4fb1-967a-fc4fa5457c62) argue Russia has a demographic crisis is the mortality in men and the war in Ukraine has made a significant impact on life expectancy of the young.

Does this look like a success from the government that claims to "protect the Russians"?

I think we must fight against Russophobia because it not different than fascism. Why would people treat the Russians differently? They have eyes, noses and mouths like every other human being.

I am very saddened how these innocent Russians being treated in Europe. Is it a crime to be born Russian?

Europe should get its shit together and end their fascism against the Russians once and for all.

I have Russian friends, Georgian friends and Ukrainian friends. The "Russophobia" does not exist, is an invention of the Kremlin propagandists to justify their un-justifiable aggression. The world is not against Russians, it is against an illegal war waged by the current government and military ranks of the Russian Federation.

In war times, the enemy is the enemy and it is unclear who can potentially be a spy, so actors and others may of course be banned.

RE fascism and Europe, poverty attracts simple and wrong solutions to complex problems. Fascism is a simple and wrong solution that comes when people are disappointed with democracy.

It exists in this thread. Have you seen these 2 guys' posts?

This one says most Russians are violent and only bring misery.

It is phobia when the fear is irrational.

Fear of Russian genocidal maniacs is perfectly rational.
The vast majority of Russians are violent and aggressive. They hate Europeans and Americans.
Their culture consists of drinking, swearing, stealing, and most of all LYING.
Russkiy Mir only brings misery.

Read the other dude:

Yes, right! Russians must be deported! The fact is that most of them are young, and it is they who, as they have seen the advantage of democracy, should remove Putin.

Why would all the Russians deserve to be deported? Just because they are Russians? Where is the common sense in that?

Now tell me these guys ain't Russophobes. They are indeed.

Or are you telling me... these guys are Kremlin propagandists acting like Russophobes?

Maybe you are onto something. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if these 2 guys are hardcore Russians.  Cool

The last time Europe went full Hitler no good thing happened to them. Hopefully it won't happen again.

But, you have to take that as old woman's talk. Probably not really educated, probably not having access to any alternative source of information that her own government and probably there when Brezhnev was around.

Oh, yes, Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union between 1964 and 1982, ... I forgot to mention: Ukrainian (born in Kamianske, Ukraine), fought in the Red Army, against guess who? The III Reich, the real Nazis. And that was probably something this lady has forgotten. Now the RF government wants to kill their sons, grandsons and his descendants.

1167  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taking a loan/debt addicted ? on: March 03, 2023, 09:34:33 AM
Well, I have to clarify that personally I have never had any loan or debt in my life so this thread has nothing to do with my experience but intends to find out how people in loan/debt deal with the problem. Let's say you take loans from a bank and sometimes for whatever reason, you can not pay the debt on time, then you borrow money from other channels. Sure this works for a certain period but later bad things may happen, you have to postpone the payment and struggle with finances again. Isn't this a vicious circle ? How would you deal with the problem ? I am all ears.

A loan is not a problem. This is one of the thing Kiyosaki got right: There is bad debt and good debt. Debt that makes you poor and debt that makes you rich. I will explain: You take a debt to buy fancy clothes, you wear them for a little while, your debt is there to pay. Bad idea. You buy a basic car to go to work, you finance it and pay with the salaries. Good idea. You finance a property at 2%, refurb and sell it and repay, earning 30% in the process. Very good debt.

Coupons and promos usually mislead the consumers into thinking that they are buying cheaper. I will put an example: I know a country in which an something that has been at a certain price for 14 days and then discounted can be legally advertised as "discounted". Hence, many companies put stuff for sale at a ridiculous price for 14 days and then claim a 40% discount on the original price... which technically is true, but at the same time false.

1171  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: March 03, 2023, 09:20:26 AM
Looking at what is happening, I will say such an amazing thing at once - but there are positive changes in everything that is happening! Yes Yes ! Now I will explain. This does not apply to any specific countries, this is a general picture.

The whole world, in recent decades, began to suffer from laziness and infantilism. The West "was tired of working, the East decided that it was possible" the West gave it the "magic wand" of technology, some countries decided that after 9/11 they could continue to engage in terror, violence, and the West would not react, and most international structures and institutions simply money-burners and structures that, according to the protocol, "express concern" on any event, but do not take any steps. Moreover, these international structures began to quietly earn money on international "assistance" programs. And so it would continue to degrade, degenerate, and rotten ... if not for the last inadequate trick of Russia.

The world shook. More precisely, in 2014, the world turned a blind eye to this, they say, it's okay, the main thing is that we live quietly and calmly. And then the year 2022 came, when the Kremlin terrorists realized that, in fact, impunity reigned in the world, and for some, cowardice and a huge dependence on the "Kremlin that feeds them" ... The protective trigger worked at the first stage in several countries. The United States and Britain - as "senior" observers of the world, and Poland, Latvia, Liva, Estonia and some other European countries - who realized that it was time to remember such aggression and occupation by the USSR. And they began to help Ukraine. And then so many "pustules" were revealed, "tensions" arose in so many international relations, so many had their eyes opened that the world began to return to a normal, albeit not so comfortable, state. One of the reasons - it turned out that global and deep integration with some countries / regimes - is fraught with real and global risks. And that it is worth reconsidering our views on relations with them, on the indulgences that they have been given for the last 20-30 years, and in general on international mechanisms that, in general, have deprived the world of immunity from idiots and criminals. Yes, these changes will not be fast, but they are already running. And back already, no one will return in the near future, remembering the "lessons of history" of the beginning of the 21st century.

Not really convinced of all this.
- After 9/11 countries such as Afghanistan can be sure that supporting terrorism at state level get you 20 years of foreign occupation. Even an opposing stance to US gets you an invasion (Iraq).
- Most countries want it quiet and calm. The CCP is happy with peace, as they simply ignore most of the regualtions, continue business and win the money game. China will not conquer the US, they will re-posses the US.

The RF was thought to be a commercial partner, hence what looks like laziness (actually I interpret it as pacifism). But that has ended, back to cold war thanks to Adolf Putin and his Pychos.

If he is a rich person and has more income he probably won't be so disappointed but if he is just a small gambler then it would be better to always have financial and time limits on gambling.
I agree with your suggestion because that way it can make a gambler at least minimize the loss of large amounts of money.
A rich person still can get rekt because his money is limited, there's no any single person in this world have unlimited money including Elon Musk. A rich person might bet with max amount and if he keep gamble everyday, he could become poor and sold all of his assets in order to play and recover all of his losses. So either rich or poor person, they need to set a limit how much they can afford to lose, the difference is the amount of the money.
For someone like Elon Musk, gambling all the money he has away will take a very long time, and even after gambling away all the money he has, he still can not be ever poor because of the kind of investments he already has ..
So in as much as I agree with you that no body's money if unlimited anywhere, I still believe that there are people who have excess money that even if they decide to stop working and start gambling everyday, it can take tens, and for some, hundreds of years before them to ever become poor, if at all, this is possible.

Curious that we are talking about Elon. This guy has actually made a career of gambling, except that he does not play casino style odds, but rather do or die business. There was a moment in which they nearly bankrupted Paypal before selling it for a fortune, there was a moment in which he had to put all his personal wealth to make Tesla go ahead,... for his "size", he is quite an addict to gambling.

This is an easy one for the platform to wiggle around based off the terms and conditions you signed up for when registering on their website.

It is important to note that it is possible that it was truly a network lag (7 seconds is not such a ridiculous time), and you can I expect the site to compensate any resulting situation from network lags.

You can choose to avoid the platform on the basis of their lags and also their unsatisfactory support team.

7 seconds of lag on such a system of betting is certainly an eternity. The system should provide the performance needed for all the games and options they are offering so that the users have the right experience when playing games that require real time decisions such as the one that seem to be case here. I think this is an issue for this casino and they should deal with it adequately.

Hi All,

We just launched our new Bitcoin/Lightning LIVE Roulette Site - www.NakamotoRoulette.com

Would appreciate feedback and comments or anything else the community has to say Smiley

-- Nakamoto Roulette

Edit: some common questions popping up I think should be included up top;

- We accept normal Bitcoin as well as instant Lightning Deposits
- We offer INSTANT humanless Withdrawals ('no questions asked').
- We do not have any KYC nor will we, EVER.
- We will not get a gaming license for a host of reasons including KYC and other limitations.
- We are as anonymous as possible, private and confidential and share no data to anyone. ever.

some immediate features being implemented are;
- All players automatically get a 'share code / affiliate link' which they can gain back 50% of GGR (revenue) month-to-month for any players they invite or attract.
- Many many more games (and not just Roulette).

All sounds interesting and well put, and I would think that people are likely to try it. Now, if you post as newby and request any short of deposit without any particular proof and promise stuff that is pretty much illegal in most jurisdictions, I am afraid that it looks far too shady. This would be what anyone wanting people to put deposits into an scam would say. Is that the case??

Again, you are not. You are trying to make it look like that is a "balanced" position which is not. Ukraine did not amass troops in the RF border, did not send a column of tanks to Moscow, did not try to take land away from the Russian Federation. "standing with the people" is an empty phrase to launder the attack of the RF on Ukraine.#

Your links are meaningless (apart for leading to a pay-wall for data). Your reference to drinking in Mariupol,...proof please?


When you look at history, Russia and Ukraine have been friends at times and enemies at times. And the borders between them changed many times over hundreds of years.

Ukraine amassed troops on the Donbas border... and started killing and harming both Ukrainian people and Russian people who were associated with them. There was a Ukraine military build-up on the border about a week before Russia started its police action.

Russia simply intervened to stop this stupid Ukrainian harming of its own citizens, and Russian people who were living in the Donbas area for decades. This Ukrainian almost-massacre didn't happen until the US and Nato started getting into the governmental affairs of Ukraine.

So, let's see some details that clearly justify the Ukraine government's Donbas attack. Just because the Donbas was considered to be part of Ukraine isn't enough. Governments don't start attacking their own country for nothing. Explain to us clearly... why... with some details about what the people of Donbas were doing to harm Ukraine.

If you can't, standing with the Ukraine government ISN'T standing with Ukraine. And maybe not even if you can. It's like standing with Hitler or Stalin, who both killed their own people.

Cool

If you look at history, properly, you will see that the Russians originally came from Kyiv. But that is irrelevant, because we are not in the middle ages nor under the Napoleonic empire nor in Stalin's regime (not yet anyaway). The independence of a country is based on the will of the people who live in there. It is quite evident that a majority of Ukrainians would rather manage their own business instead of letting Adolf Putin manage them for the benefit of the Kleptocrats of Moscow and St Petersbourgh.

Again, you seem not to need any justification to make allegations. Anything goes, anything is good just because you say it and some "media" out there says so. I guess all your posts here are just to feed the algorithm, not really intended for human consumption.

I do not like war, and since I have used some of my time investigating about its cruelty, I would try to save as many lives as possible.

That's exactly what the Russian government did when the Ukraine military inappropriately attacked the Donbas.

Cool

In BADecker world, Ukraine attacked the Donbas. But in the real world the Donbas was (and still is) Ukraine, so you are accusing Ukraine of "inappropriately" attacking Ukraine.

The fact is that Putin has been waging a war in the Donbas for several years, that is, after "inappropriately" annexing Crimea by force. Generals, advisors and even tanks of the RF army have been in the Donbas in a (what a coincidence!) undeclared war.

What's the alternative? Let the enemy walk all over you and rape and kill your women and chidren and rob you blind? And after they walked over you they would just keep on going all over europe.

As far as I know, Ukraine did not "declare war", simply had to defend the country in order for such country to continue existing as an individual entity with its own government. If your question is if it was a wise decision to fight such a defence, I think that given the situation and knowing what we now know, it was a reasonable decision.

You are trying to make standing with Ukraine equal to standing with the Russian Federation. Nice try, but they are not.

Putin is destroying the energy infrastructure in Ukraine, Ukraine is not doing so in the RF.

What you try to make look like a "balanced position" is not such and you "do not stand with the people" if you do not stand with Ukraine.

Again, you are not. You are trying to make it look like that is a "balanced" position which is not. Ukraine did not amass troops in the RF border, did not send a column of tanks to Moscow, did not try to take land away from the Russian Federation. "standing with the people" is an empty phrase to launder the attack of the RF on Ukraine.#
