    He is in Kyiv.
    Pictures and videos of him being there are posted daily. Zelensky running is a Russian disinformation effort.

    I don't know, whenever I see him he is indoors. And the media got caught lying that he was visiting troops by posting old footage of him. I'm not talking about Russkies, the western outlets shot themselves in the foot.

    Actually, my 2022 source says NATO no longer has any nuclear missiles, just bombs (the U.S., U.K., & France, have their own missiles, of course). And none of them are in Poland, or the Baltic States (or Romania). If this had been Putin's real, prevailing interest, I'm sure he could have gotten an agreement to not put nukes in Ukraine, should they ever be given membership in NATO. But Putin didn't want an agreement-- he wanted a pretext to invade.

    https://armscontrolcenter.org/fact-sheet-u-s-nuclear-weapons-in-europe/

    [SNIP]

    Though NATO officially declares itself a “nuclear alliance,” it does not own any nuclear weapons. Instead, a small number of bombs are reportedly kept under U.S. Air Force guard at six airbases in five European countries, ready to be delivered by respective national fighter planes.

    Historically, the United States has deployed both nuclear bombs and nuclear-armed missiles to allied European states... since the end of the Cold War the total arsenal has been reduced to air-launched tactical, or nonstrategic nuclear bombs... Alongside NATO member the United Kingdom’s arsenal, U.S. nuclear weapons in Europe are consistent with Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty. Fellow member France, who re-joined the alliance in 2009, does not commit its own nuclear arsenal to the alliance’s extended deterrent.

    Beyond the alliance’s three nuclear powers, five others participate in U.S. nuclear sharing: Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey...

    [End SNIP]

    Also, BTW, the # of nukes has been reduced by over 98%, from the 1971 level, of 7300, to about 100, today.

    [SNIP ]

    The total number of nuclear weapons based in Europe reached an all-time peak of 7,300 during the height of Cold War tensions in 1971. The 98% reduction to today’s stockpile reflects the end of Cold War hostilities as well as shifting American defense priorities. The weapons are an important symbol of the U.S.’ longstanding security commitments to Europe, but questions have been raised about the desire of European countries to continue hosting WMDs.

    To allay the fears of the Russian people, I read that Russia will be going back to the gold standard and will back the ruble with real gold reserves. That will make it the most stable currency in the world.

    If China follows suit, the dollar will not be the world's reserve currency and the consequences will be enormous considering we have no assets to back the dollar. All we have is 37 trillion in debt.. Let's not forget Ghadaffy was killed for wanting to take Africa off the dollar and put it on the gold standard.

    We can thank our Washington embedded sociopaths for what's going on. I said that the neo cons wanted a war between Russian and Ukraine way back when, and according to the Wash. Post:

    According to the Pentagon's paperwork, from as early as December Washington had been actively equipping the Kiev government with shotguns, special suits for explosive ordnance disposal and other items useful for combat in urban areas – that's more than two months before the Russian invasion occurred.

    And over the past week the deliveries of American arms to Ukraine intensified further, with Kiev getting Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems for the first time and boosting its arsenal of anti-tank Javelin missiles, among other things.

    The list has illustrated the great extent to which the Biden administration “sought to prepare the Ukrainian military to wage a hybrid war against Russia,” the Washington Post added.

    In the meantime the sanctions against Russia were not passed by the UN and are therefore illegal and a cause for war.


    The Russian state-run newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing Finance Minister Anon Siluanov, reveals that Moscow plans to abolish the 20% tax on private individuals who buy precious metals.

    With this step Putin obviously wants to allay the fears of Russia's population and oligarchs about an economic crisis. And it can thus offer all citizens an escape route for their non-US dollar-based assets.

    A movie script. Americans love that. A good guy versus a bad guy. A young man versus an old man. Justin Trudeu vs Donald Trump etc...Americans just can't have enough of it.

    Russians have been masturbating to an idea of collapsed dollar for as long as I can remember.
    So far, only ruble collapsed multiple times. :lol:

    • Sources in Ukraine have claimed that a member of the delegation Kiev sent to engage in talks with Moscow earlier this week was killed on Saturday.

      The first claim about the death of Denis Kireev came from Aleksandr Dubinsky, a controversial MP and journalist. In a post on social media, he claimed Kireev had been killed by agents of the SBU, the Ukrainian security service, during an attempt to arrest him.

      The assertion was later confirmed by two media outlets, Ukraina.ua and Obozrevatel, which both cited their own anonymous sources.

    Give it some time to bubble up. I've seen mention from several sources. There's pics of his dead body on a sidewalk.

    You made a claim.
    You prove it.
    I do not see such articles in Ukrainian media.

    You just don’t understand how the U.S. debt works. That’s OK, not everyone is capable of understanding how the U.S. currency works. :lol:

    Translated:
    The Russians abandoned a bunch of military equipment, running away from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region (photo, video)

    Ukrainian military from the 93rd Kholodny Yar Brigade ambushed a Russian convoy in the Kharkiv region.

    This was reported on Facebook by the 93rd Motorized Brigade.

    The fighters told how they ambushed a Russian convoy in the north of the Kharkiv region and how the Russian invaders fled, leaving new and serviceable equipment and fuel to it. One of the enemy tanks even reinforced the defense checkpoint.

    ... See it here: https://www.unian.net/war/rossiyane...ine-foto-video-novosti-donbassa-11730517.html

    More generous donations of lethal aid by the Russians. :D

    Anyone can print the money. The system is a joke. Not sustainable. Biden is totally incompetent when it comes to the economy.

    Biden, or any POTUS, has virtually no control over US monetary policy.
    As I’m saying - you are wading into a subject you don’t understand.

    That doesn't change the fact that Biden is completely incompetent when it comes to economics. There is no US monetary policy. It's literally organised crime.
