No thank you.
Nobody should ever click any link that is provided by a self-proclaimed expert in homoerotic images.
...wouldn’t be prudent
Enjoy your images by yourself though.
The calendar, which is sold by an FSB veterans’ support charity, retails for 3,291 rubles on Ozon, one of Russia’s largest online marketplaces. https://www.ozon.ru/product/kalendar-2025-g-nastennyy-perekidnoy-a3-297-x-420-mm-1721870737/?__rr=1&_bctx=CAQQ7OaLAQ&abt_att=1&asb=3xytMDO9xefa2IAWZBbGoQ7SxR7Y5uidMnKwsPccfWE%253D&asb2=yh2S1Y6wrszhDZG14PD22-WHonao3HZGwWG5YzHAfSgh5F3FxzWitSQAH9EvxcWP&avtc=1&avte=2&avts=1730371590&hs=1
“The idea for the calendar belongs to Nikolai Guryev, chairman of the Special Operations Command C Combat Veterans Support Fund,” Roman Korsuvorov, the deputy chairman of the Krasnodar region’s FSB border guard veterans group, told the bloknot-rovorossiysk.ru news website.
Note: The calendar for 2024 was 5,228 rubles
They lowered the price to get the market value of P.
Yeah, these jackwagons shouldn’t even be voting in our elections.
They aren’t Americans. They’re Ukrainians and are only voting in the interest of Ukraine sucking as much money off of our county as they can.
Worthless parasites.
100% and as things collapse for The Dictator, I'll be here to remind them.
>>>>Speedy: Voted Trump. Hope I don’t regret it.
Voted Brown (L) for Senate. Won’t vote for Cruz because he doesn’t support Ukraine. Allred is a joke. Brown by default.<<<<

I’m surprised SpeedyInUkraine took time away from watching his vast collection of snuff films to vote.
He, UMCREVMOM, marcus, froggie, and the rest of the slav brotherhood, love Ukraine more than they love this country.
They value Ukraine above everything...even their Freedom. You’d think they’d head there and give their god, Zelensky, some much needed help at the front lines.
But no, they sit on their rear ends in the safety of the US, typing BS, because they’re COWARDS.
I would have posted this to SpeedyInUkraine, but he told me not to post to him. The poltroon can’t take the truth.
I canceled out SpeedyinUkraine’s vote and voted for Ted Cruz. 😁
👍👍 😁
I’m not even a Republican and I voted straight R ticket. So did everyone I could influence. I personally gagged a bit, but anything less helps the Marxists.
I did too. I had to hold my nose on my Congressional Rep vote (Pete Sessions) because he’s a RINO, but he beats the alternative. I wish we’d primary him, though.
“Oil prices will increase by another 15% by the end of the year”
I think he means domestically, within Russia, rather than International oil prices.
Going on 1,000 days, since Putin started his full scale invasion of Ukraine - none of the announced objectives achieved, at horrific cost (the worst since WWII).
Kyiv Independent reports:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin has not achieved a single one of his strategic objectives after nearly 1,000 days of full-scale war against Ukraine, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in his op-ed published by Foreign Affairs on Nov. 1.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky didn’t flee. Kyiv didn’t fall. And Ukraine didn’t fold,” the Pentagon chief said.
Putin’s original goals in his full-scale invasion of Ukraine launched in early 2022 were to “liberate the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, “demilitarize and denazify” the country which in the Kremlin’s eyes, envisioned the removal of its Jewish president, and the occupation of its capital city Kyiv.
After swiftly failing to achieve these goals, with the exception of Russian forces occupying all of Luhansk Oblast (which was since partially liberated by Ukrainian forces), Putin was forced to lower his ambitions and said Russia’s “main goal” was to capture all of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas area that also includes the adjacent Donetsk Oblast.
According to Austin, Russia has paid “a staggering price for Putin’s imperial folly,” with more than $200 billion squandered. Russia has lost almost 700,000 troops killed and injured since Feb. 2022, Ukraine’s General Staff reported.”

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 2, 2024
South Korea signaled possible readiness to increase support for Ukraine amid continued Ukrainian intelligence on the deployment of North Korean forces near the Russian border with Ukraine. South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul stated on November 1 that “all possible scenarios are under consideration” in response to a question about possibly sending weapons to Ukraine following the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia.[7] Cho emphasized that South Korea will monitor North Korean troop involvement in Russia and the “benefits” that North Korea receives from Russia to determine a course of action. Ukraine’s Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported on November 2 that Russian forces transferred 7,000 additional North Korean personnel to unspecified areas near the border with Ukraine in the last week (since about October 26).[8] The GUR reported that Russian forces have armed North Korean soldiers with 60mm mortars, AK-12 assault rifles, RPK/PKM machine guns, SVD/SVCh sniper rifles, Phoenix anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers and have equipped North Korean forces with some night vision devices, thermal imagers, and other optical equipment.

PIF: "1 ton - 2,000 lb X 16 = 32,000 oz X $2,752.70 oz (spot price) = $88,086,400 ton"Almost...
Troy ounces in metric tons = 32,150.7 troy ounces X $2,781.82 (as of Oct 30) = $89,437,460 & change per metric ton, plus or minus daily as prices change.
Our Imperial ton = .907 metric tons, so if you wanted to convert the numbers to our measures (and why would you?) it comes out around $81 million per imperial ton.
Friday's spot price, as you said, is: $2,754.27 per troy ounce.
A standard gold bar is 400 troy ounces or about 27.4 pounds, today just over $1.1 million.
One thing for certain, I'll never see that kind of money, except in pictures. 😉
There are several different groups tracking Russian and Ukrainian losses.
They all more or less agree with Ukrainian numbers.
None of them agree with Russian government numbers.
You are, of course, free to chose which to believe, if any.
ANKE69: "BUT I'M THE BIGGEST HOMO"Says ANKE69, who just can't get over the fact that his dream-boy was only a comedian's schtick mocking modern culture as he saw it.
In fact, by all reports, that comedian was, and remains, a happily married family man:
