The best help for Ukraine at this stage - really, any stage - is to kick everything US/Nato out, so that there can be peace. Don't you realize that Ukraine is destroyed? And it isn't the Russians who have done it. It is the greed of the Ukraine government people, trying to make personal profits for themselves by making alliances with the US and Nato.

You forgot the part about how embarrassing it must be to have to shoot down your own drone that you couldn't control, so that you wouldn't get fried by it. Lol.

Cool

Of course, I forgot about it. We have such a situation for the first time, how can we know how to behave. Indeed, we need to take an example from the russians, who not only repeatedly launched their own drones at their positions, but also dismantled aircraft on their territory, undermined their equipment on mines they had laid themselves And all this was accompanied by human casualties. And they continue to do all this without feeling any embarrassment.

Kids are often brats towards their parents. Parents get angry and want to bust their kids one right in the teeth. But they don't, because they love them.

In the same way, the Russian fist (RF) is headed for Ukraine at many times. But the love of the RF for their child holds them back, often at the last minute.

Wake up and be afraid.

Hello from Ukraine!

I am not entirely sure if I am breaking any rules by posting this information in this thread, but if I am, I apologize and ask the administrators to move this post to the appropriate thread.

I represent the team of military volunteers "Sho Ti Dyadya" who provide support to our army. We are from Zaporizhia, which is only 40 kilometers away from the front line. We are the ones who help our servicemen to reclaim our lands with minimal losses. We have donors from the cryptocurrency community, and perhaps others might want to support our work and fight.

https://uafree.org is the website of our foundation, which displays the intermediate results of our work. It is available in Ukrainian, English, German and Polish.

https://www.facebook.com/shotidyadya is our Facebook page (unfortunately, only in Ukrainian) with daily reports on the funds raised and the work done.

I have been a member of this forum for over 5 years and I believe that there are people in our community who can support our fight for survival.

Thank you in advance.

Ukraine is made up of two basic groups of people:
1. Those who want to be friends and allies with Russia;
2. Those who simply are against Russia.

When the US came into Ukraine, and infiltrated its government (for US selfish purposes) so that the Ukraine government started acting against Russia and Russians - resulting in Russia trying to hold back the US/Ukraine government with the invasion - where did the Ukrainians go who were in favor of Russia? They left Ukraine so that they wouldn't be forced to fight a country (RF) they wanted to be friends with.

What's left in Ukraine? Two groups of people:
1. Those who are against Russia;
2. Those who are silently in favor of Russia; silent because Zelensky will kill them if they are found out.

If the war ceases, will the Russia-friendly Ukrainians who fled ever come back to Ukraine? Nobody knows. Some of them might. The internal Ukraine conflict will continue, with or without US interference.

Kick the US and the Zelensky government out of Ukraine so that there can be peaceful conflict between its citizens, as was the case for a long time in the past.

Russia to resume foreign exchange purchases to boost currency reserves



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-05-05-russia-to-resume-foreign-exchange-purchases.html
Russia is expected to resume buying foreign currency for its reserves as early as this month or later this year. The country halted foreign exchange purchases in late January 2022 and further suspended the program following the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine.

According to Bloomberg Economics, the move aims to bolster Russia’s reserves as growing energy revenues “stabilize” public finances despite the West’s efforts to squeeze Kremlin’s income. The media outlet estimated initial volumes amounting to an equivalent of around $200 million in yuan per month.

The Chinese currency is the main asset Russia can still use to conduct transactions for its $154 billion wealth fund because of the sanctions that cut the country off from the world’s dollar-denominated financial system.

“It will be important for the market that the state is starting to accumulate reserves again instead of spending them,” the analyst at Freedom Holding Corp. Natalia Milchakova remarked. “This may even positively affect the ruble.”

Bloomberg‘s Russia economist, Alexander Isakov pointed out that the resumption of foreign exchange purchases may initially be small but will still be “highly symbolic.” This will show that Russia is building reserves rather than “eating through” them.

Russia sold from its wealth fund in 2023 to cover spending, and the shift from selling to buying would highlight “Russia’s ability to keep up the flow of petrodollars in the face of sanctions and the price cap” imposed by the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations and their partners in the European Union as well as their allies, the outlet said.
Brighteon.TV

Moscow stopped the said purchases in late January 2022 and then suspended the program when the Russia-Ukraine war began. The Bank of Russia resumed operations with foreign currency at the beginning of 2023, amid soaring oil and gas revenues. The move was part of a revamped budgetary mechanism designed to shield the economy from the volatility of commodity markets, and transactions are now carried out in yuan.

However, in the past couple of months...

EXCLUSIVE: Psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein Joins Forces With Maricopa County Republicans to Fight Big Tech Election Interference – Says Google is Shifting MILLIONS of Votes To Democrats in EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

The Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) has announced a partnership with research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein's American Institute of Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT) to fight Big Tech election interference in Arizona.

Dr. Epstein has been researching election interference efforts by search engines like Google since 2013. He estimates that in the 2016 presidential election, "Google probably shifted between 2.6 and 10.4 million votes to Hillary Clinton."

Epstein says Google uses ephemeral experiences, which he describes as "very brief experiences that we all have every day looking at news feeds, search results, search suggestions, and answer boxes," which are normally "stored nowhere and gone forever."

"All the content that they serve up is ephemeral," says Epstein, and because it is not stored anywhere, it is almost impossible to prove what Google is doing to influence peoples' views. Epstein and his team have developed systems for capturing ephemeral content to expose Google's biased and possibly illegal search outcomes.

The Gateway Pundit has previously reported on Dr. Robert Epstein's research on election interference favoring Democrats.

Kari Lake will give the keynote address at CPAC Hungary this Friday as she travels to Europe to meet with conservative foreign leaders and "discuss common-sense solutions and ideas that can put the People First," according to a statement.

CPAC Hungary will be held on April 4 and 5 in Budapest's Bálna (Whale) Conference Center.

Lake announced that she will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who, unlike Joe Biden, puts his people first and isn't in bed with the Ukrainians. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to pound sand earlier this year as he visited the EU HQ in Brussels to beg for more money, arms and fighter jets. Orbán said that Hungary would not get involved in the Ukraine war "in the interest of the country and its people."

1730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Getting Rid of the One, Major, Cryptocurrency Problem Remaining on: May 04, 2023, 09:15:41 PM
The difference between this idea and other altcoins is, the total number of coins and their total value would not be known to anyone, except that the blockchain would have this info within it.

If every part of the operation is private, government has no authorization to control it. And if government can't regulate it, people can trade freely within it.

Consider the many smoking and drinking bars throughout (mostly) Southern States, States that prohibit smoking and drinking in public. Private clubs don't have these prohibitions because government is only concerned with public drinking and smoking. Government can't stop the smoking or the alcohol in private clubs.

The same would work for a completely private crypto. Like the smoking/drinking club, you can see that the club is there and exists. But you can't take part of the club until you become a private member. Why not a completely private crypto altcoin? People could see it was there, but they would only be allowed to use it if they became a member.

In addition, if the value of each 'coin' was the same as the US dollar, think of how easy it would be for people to trade, knowing that they had something worth an amount that they understood. Of course, nobody but the individual would know how much 'coin' he had in his wallet, except if he told somebody. But, it's private, and that is why nobody should want to blab amounts.

Mass production of SpaceX Starships is likely by 2030. There is a Raptor engine factory that will make 4000 engines per year. Each Super Heavy Starship stack would use about 40 engines. Full production is 100 Super Heavy Starships per year.

Each SpaceX Starship has 1000 cubic meters of volume. One hundred of them would have 100,000 cubic meters of volume. Ocean going cruise ships are measured in terms of gross tonnage (GT), which is a measurement of the internal volume of a ship. The average cruise ship has a gross tonnage of 120,000 GT.

300 meters by 30 meters by 11 meters would be 99000 cubic meters. The picture above is of Space Shuttle External fuel tanks arranged into a rotating space station configuration. There are about 24 tanks. Space Shuttle fuel tanks were similar in size to the SpaceX starship. There are about 20 tanks going around the outside ring and about 4 bundled in the center. If there were 100 Starships, then there could be a triple ring going around the outside and bundles of 25 in the interior. Three stack of eight bundled together.

TRUTH BEHIND "RUSSIAN STRIKES ON CIVILIANS" IN UKRAINE



https://southfront.org/truth-behind-strikes-on-civilians-in-ukraine/
Before the massive night attack, Ukrainian media reported that five Russian Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers armed with X-101 or X-555 cruise missiles took to the air. Kiev could get this information only from the United States or NATO intelligence.

By morning, the Ukrainian military reported that their air defenses had allegedly shot down 21 Russian missiles, without specifying how many of them had reached their targets.

Despite the fact that Kiev has banned Ukrainians from filming and posting the consequences of Russian strikes on social networks, videos showcasing the defeat of targets continue to be published online, confirming the damage that Kiev is hiding.

Explosions thundered in the cities of Kiev, Kremenchuk, Dnepropetrovsk, as well as in the Kiev, Mykolaiv, Poltava and Cherkasy regions. Strikes targeted military infrastructure facilities: locations of Ukrainian forces, ammunition depots and accumulation points for military equipment and weapons.
According to Ukrainian reports, seven Russian missiles were shot down over the city of Dnepropetrovsk. However, two oil depots filled with fuel for Western military equipment were destroyed in the city. Local authorities reported that two people were killed and three were injured.

The Ukrainian military once again demonstrated their incompetence and the inability of Ukrainian air defenses to protect their own people. Local officials confirmed that Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed a multi-storey residential building in the city of Ukrainka in the Kiev region.

HORRIFIC SLAUGHTER:



https://southfront.org/horrific-slaughter-russia-finally-admits-to-destroying-natos-deep-underground-command-bunker-in-kiev/
As reported on March 12 by the Greek portal of political and military information Pronews, citing American sources, in the course of an operation to retaliate for a provocation in the Bryansk region, a Russian hypersonic missile "Dagger" struck at a joint Ukrainian-NATO command and communications center.

According to Pronews , "dozens of NATO officers" were killed in a "terrifying strike" by a Mach 12 missile. In all likelihood, we are talking about the defeat of the "shadow General Staff" of NATO in Ukraine. The secret underground bunker, built at a depth of 400 feet (120 meters), housed several NATO officers (retired) and advisers. In total, more than 300 people.

To date, according to the portal, 40 people have been pulled out from under the rubble of the underground headquarters, but most of those who died under the rubble have not yet been found.

It is not known, the portal continues, exactly how many Western citizens and how many Ukrainians were killed as a result of the "Dagger" strike. "Most of them, "  according to Pronews, "are British and Poles, but there were also Americans and representatives of private companies that support communication and data transmission. In the coming days, it will be seen to what extent this will affect the conduct of Ukrainian and Western operations and attempts to stop the final phase of the Russian offensive on Bakhmut.

Pressure has been building in the 'not so free' state of Florida as activists have discovered a massive scheme that likely exists in other states across the nation -- the use of 'blank ballots' designated by election machines to 'readjudicate' ballots by software in large numbers.

In other words, ballots are designated as 'blank' when cast, then the machine software decides who the voter should have voted for.

For instance, in Miami-Dade County in 2020, 68,000 ballots were designated as 'blank' by election machines. In some precincts, the number equaled 20% of ballots cast. In the 2022 midterm election, this number went to essentially zero (400) as activists had begun making public the 'blank ballot' scheme.

The word "Russia" is simply a term or name of a group of people who live on a piece of land. The fact that there are leaders who promote evil at times does not make all the people to be this way.

The only nation of the whole world that could possibly NOT be a nation of lies and evil, is one that has a vast majority of people who are Bible believing Christians, who DO as much as possible the good expressed in the New Testament of the Bible.

Russia isn't any worse or better than any average nation. In fact, since they have the Russian Orthodox Church, they have Jesus salvation because they promote it through the Bible that they believe in.

It is people who do not believe in the Bible and God and Jesus-salvation who are the evil liars. It is people who constantly defame other people or groups of people for no reason who are the evil liars.

People often make mistakes and no matter who he is, he or she is not exempted because this is human nature. As long as you keep returning to the one God almighty asking for forgiveness he will forgive you in the condition that you don't do the same mistakes again. if ever you fall into that sin again just ask for forgiveness just don't let the devil fool you by making you think that you already have so many troubles and sins you will not forgive. this is not the case with God because he always forgives someone as long as they are asking it sincerely when they are alive. this is the Islamic perspective I don't know about Christianity. Asking for forgiveness is always available wherever you are don't let it be the hardest thing you can do because all you need to do is move your tongue and lips and pray for it.

All wrongdoing is forgiven. But, as you^ say, there must be repentance... turning away from the wrongdoing. But why? If it is all forgiven, why do we need to stop doing the wrong? Here's why.

Every time we do wrong, it eats away a little of our belief that we need forgiveness. If we intentionally do enough wrong, and trust that we are forgiven, we will start to believe that we don't need forgiveness at all. When that happens, we have rejected the forgiveness, and it is not applied to us because we have rejected it. While this reason is basic, there are other reasons, like the example we become for our families and communities.

The shaman or witch doctor of any tribe or nation has this understanding of forgiveness, just like the Muslim. And this forgiveness is often taught by the religious leaders of those tribes and nations, just like Muslim religious leaders teach forgiveness. However, religious people of all nations that are Muslim, or have shamans or witch doctors, have one major failure. They don't know WHY God forgives. Here's why.

Jesus was/is a prophet. But He is much more than that. He is the holy Son of God. And since He is a man, as well, He was able to live a perfect life, and take the punishment for the wrongdoings of all people. He died, and arose to life on the third day after, to show that He is God as well as man.

This is why there is forgiveness. The punishment that a perfect God requires, was taken by the God-man, Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God.

Islam, the religion that accepts Judaism and Christianity, should now accept that the Jesus written about in their own Quran is the Son of God... Who has taken the punishment for all people, and is the reason why God can offer forgiveness to all.

3. Love people as you love yourself;
4. Do to others as you would have them do to you;

Jesus spoke in parables to the unbelievers to get them to start thinking. Those of us who are believers in Jesus salvation, are barely believers. How do we know? By the way we believe the basics, but are unwilling to go further on in our faith... further on to the rest of the things Jesus taught.

Little children simply believe. They believe because they understand that they have no explanation for millions of things they are learning in their lives. But after they get older, they start to piece together reasons for things they learned - that is, after they start to think. They want to know the reasons behind the things they have learned.

One of the greatest contradictions that the general, good, Bible-believing churches have is, they believe and practice some of the things that Jesus taught, but ignore other things that Jesus taught, even though they might acknowledge that they are there.

You go to church every Sunday, and hear the same things. And this is good, because it is the words of salvation. But if you try to ask the leaders why they don't preach on other things that Jesus said and did, or the way to live like Jesus lived, they talk all around you and never answer your questions.

Adolescent children are getting fed up with this seeming contradiction by their parents, especially those parents who are knowledgeable church leaders. And since they can't find anybody to teach them thee other things - like walking on water, and doing miracles like Jesus did - they fall away from the whole ball of wax, as though it all is BS.


If you were ever frustrated by teachers of God's Word, I'm here to tell you that all the things of Jesus are available for us all. While I haven't become active in all of these things (very much), I have found the way. It may not be easy. But at least I can show and explain it somewhat. It starts with not only reading the Bible, but also listening to Bible tapes/CDs every day... especially the New Testament.

Read, listen, believe, even if you don't understand, and much of the understanding will come to you.

Hey be.open, do you smoke? It seems that someone has been smoking in Sevastopol - once again near fuel tanks. Since the Ukrainian offensive is all bluff and fake, it must be someone smoking so please print this, cut it and send it over to all fuel depots around. That would help your country much more than propagandising here and throwing a few "nazis" to the soup at night.

It is finally time Russia starts experiencing what they have been doing against Ukraine for more than one year now.Belgorod and Sevastopol are just the start,it will go much deeper in the heart of Russia and hopefully this will start and awake the "zombies" as this is what Russians citizens are,they will go into protests as they will risk their own life.All those meetings Ukraine had with the Western powers I am sure they have gotten much longer range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia and I don't believe much in nuclear rhetoric because they know well if they use them,by international law they will be eradicated from earth soon after and I don't think Russians are stupid.

Before Putin actuated the invasion, he signed off on article 51 of the UN security council. It was to be a police action to stop the Ukraine fascist government from unconscionably attacking their own people in Donbas. Putin made what he did to be within international law.

Nobody knows the future, but, there is more probability that the US and Nato will stop supporting Ukraine, which will cause Ukraine to totally collapse militarily.

Ukraine achieving a few hits within Russia is like Hitler who had V-2 rockets that made it into space. They are a last-ditch operation that with Hitler, never got started until the war was essentially over. Same with Ukraine.
