I find it useful to have a lot of different information posted at one daily thread. You on the other hand are perfectly free to ignore Mom’s postings if they don’t interest you or if you find them annoying. I find it interesting to see what kind of propaganda and information are being distributed by both sides. FR regards
>I find it useful to have a lot of different information posted at one daily thread.<
That’s because you’re too lazy and/or incompetent to conduct research on your own.
You proved that when you defended Biden and denied he was getting a 10% kickback.
No, I attempt to stop no one from commenting on your propaganda threads, unlike you, who habitually get opposing comments yanked. Stop lying, please. What I do is simply question all of the idiotic propaganda you post and poke at some of the abusive people in your "fan club" who actually seem to believe it and call anyone who questions their Youkazoidal "religion" a "commie," "putinista," "putin puffer" etc. etc. etc..
In my opinion you do not believe most of the fake garbage you post, but the money you're being paid to post it makes up for the lying you do in presenting it.
Vlad0 nailed you on your whole propaganda show. He absolutely pegged you.
“habitually get opposing comments yanked.”
WRONG, again 🙂
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too Joe!

Maybe we should ask Allegra.
My previous post was run through a slang dictionary before posting so as not to create any 'splody heads.
We know you cry to Moderator.

There are more than two sides.....
In between the collapse of the USSR and this "new" Cold War, there has only been war. Hot wars.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) carried out an aerial bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The air strikes lasted from 24 March 1999 to 10 June 1999.
Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Iraq (1990-1991)
War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)
2nd War in Iraq (2003-2011)
Insurgency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2004)
Somali Civil War (2009–present)
Military intervention in Libya -- NATO-led air and naval attacks during the civil war (2011)
Syrian civil war (with US troops still in Syria today, and been fired on)
And, of course, Russia and other "players" were involved in some of these. So to say Cold War v. 1.0 ended with the dissolution of the USSR, and Cold War v. 2.0 is only a few years old seems a rhetorical sleight of hand.
Looks like the seeming hiatus between v. 1.0 and v. 2.0 was filled with war, and war and war.
In parallel, the US public debt stood at about 5 trillion USD 22 years ago, and now is ready to tip over into 34 trillion USD, a difference between 2000 and today -- only decades -- of 29 trillion USD. One may argue definitions, but a generalized view suggested there hasn't been a true hiatus in war -- call it what one will -- just as that "peace dividend" under Clinton simply evaporated.
Huntington would call such a "clash of civilizations." Plural. Surely seems so, and all tastefully seasoned with corruption aplenty.
Well, there’s this. It’s what happens when you accidentally hit “Reply” instead of “Report Abuse.” Ooops.
Busted red-handed reporting posts and still denying it? *tsk tsk*

Note in Allegra’s meme
In Comment #73: “To Allegra: I explained to her why her comment was inappropriate.”
Comment # 74 “To Allegra: Please ask moderators to Remove your ridiculing and inappropriate comment #64.”
However if this meme helps her cope it is fine with me. :)

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six-hundred-sixty-second day of the war.
Day 662: Dec 17
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Kupiansk direction.
Kupiansk is one of the 5 main targets in eastern Ukraine that Russians identified for their winter offensive, and over the last 3 days, the intensity of fighting here reached the same level as in Avdiivka. The fighting here resembles the first stage of the Avdiivka offensive because, according to Ukrainian fighters from this region, Russian forces are actively using dozens of tanks and armored fighting vehicles and hundreds of troops to overwhelm Ukrainian forces.
As of now, the hottest part of the front line is the Synkivka area. Here, Russian forces are the closest to Kupianks, which is why they are really focused on this area. The goal of Russian forces is not only to reach Kupiansk but also to cut off Ukrainian forces in Kyskivka from supplies and cause a complete collapse of the front line. If successful, they would not need to incur thousands of losses to cross these vast fields.
Ukrainian forces understand the importance of holding defense in Synkivka and have created a powerful defense belt leveraging the local geography. A Ukrainian fighter reported that they managed to completely stall Russian progress in the forest by laying thousands of mines and that Ukrainian drone operators are actively monitoring the area and destroying small reconnaissance groups by dropping on them grenades from drones. Still, it seems like Russians managed to secure a narrow pathway from Lyman Pershyi to Synkivka and are using it to conduct mechanized assaults.
Over the last 10 months, Russian sources made countless claims that Russian forces established control over Synkivka, however, geolocated combat footage suggests that Russians only managed to reach it around 1 week ago. Based on the available geolocated footage, it is clear that Russians are using this road from Lyman Pershyi to assault Ukrainian positions on the outskirts of Synkivka.
A several-day-old video shows one of such assaults. As you can see, Russians are using 2 tanks with mine-clearing equipment at the front to clear the pathway and suppress Ukrainian positions with fire, while 8 armored vehicles behind them carry around 80 troops to conduct the assault.
Another video that was released later by Ukrainian fighters shows the assault itself. Ukrainian artillery opened fire and destroyed 4 armored personnel carriers, meaning half of the infantry that was supposed to storm Ukrainian positions. Still, another half managed to reach Ukrainian positions under cover of tanks and initiate close combat fighting. The video shows how Ukrainian fighters, despite being outnumbered, assumed an all-round defense and tried to repel the Russian attack. Despite their best efforts, Russians managed to capture the first houses in Synkivka.
After the Russians understood that they had a foothold, they started reinforcing the groping as fast as possible. Drone footage shows how Russians sent two more armored vehicles with around 20 troops thought the same area, where Ukrainians previously destroyed half of the assault unit. Ukrainian fighters from the 14th Mechanized Brigade were ready to meet them. Shortly, the first vehicle gets destroyed by a Javelin. Half a second later, the second vehicle followed suit. As you can see, the infantry was sitting right on top of the vehicle, precisely where the missile landed a moment later, eliminating the whole group.
Nonetheless, the Russian commanders did not want to lose an opportunity to develop their offensive inside Synkivka, so they sent another assault unit. It seems like they decided not to waste any more vehicles and sent all of them on foot. The assault unit tried to quickly move between dense tree areas, however, they were spotted by a drone, and the Ukrainian artillery shelled the whole area, eliminating another batch of reinforcements.
In the meantime, Ukrainian forces conducted a counterattack. Instead of just firing at Russian positions, a Ukrainian tank crew decided to make sure that the Russians would not be able to use these houses on the outskirts to establish a foothold, and after damaging them with fire, they completely crushed the buildings.
No response from mommy yet...
😂🤣
Well, some people are allergic to the truth.
>Well, some people are allergic to the truth.<
When the truth hits her like a 2 by 4 to the forehead, her response is nothing but gobbledygook.
And the best part is she never denies running to the mods.
Right? It’s hilarious. She and most of the other UkieYipYappers want so desperately to run this forum. To be large and in charge. It must be an eastern European thing. A lovely combination of power-tripping and ineptitude.
They do provide lots of entertainment, though. 😁
No, “Right,” and indisputably true. You lie shamelessly, endlessly and with complete ease. Yuck.
If you don’t like it then don’t watch it, and leave me the F alone. I find it interesting and if some of what I write sounds like propaganda to you, it is simply the outrage I feel that another Russian dictator has invaded another country and has soldiers who are torturing, raping, and killing the local citizens.
My outrage is motivated by the pure horror of finding out as a child of perhaps 8 or 9 that two of my mother’s aunts had killed themselves in Berlin in 1945. I overheard my mother and another aunt talking when they did not know I could hear what I couldn’t really understand at that age. I could tell they were very upset and sad, but did not think I could ask anything.
As an adult my mother told me they had commited suicide when the Russians entered Berlin in 1945. THey were elderly retired maiden ladies. One was a Dentist, the other a Gynechologist who must have been hearing just how badly Russians were treating women in Berlin, especially if they were “intellectuals” with a college education. So maybe what you hear as propaganda, is what I present as horror that once again Russians are committing outrages in other lands. [Also, it is hard to equate what ordinary Russians must have felt given German activity in Russia, with the even more justified Ukrainian anger at what Russia is doing in Ukraine when Ukraine had not even invaded Russia.] Unfortunately both Russians and Germans ended up or are ending up suffering for the ruthless desires of their dictators for dominating other countries and territories.
When will it stop this time??? And how will it be stopped if we who feel the insanity most deeply do not do our best to send the message—stop killing Ukrainians and your own soldiers, go home now!!!
