You can twist yourself into the most elaborate pretzel when defending your neocon fellow travelers. It’s a war crime to use cluster bombs if you’re a Russian. You are spreading truth, justice and the American way when you supply the same cluster bombs and the targeting for them to Zelensky to use on his own people and the Russians. Par for your course. Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan is the US doing God’s work. Russians defending themselves on their border from NATO hegemony is a war crime. Warmongering Uniparty stoogism at its finest.
You're obtuse, mate. I read your citation, and cited back a portion of it to you. Refuting your assertion. Read the responses more closely, if you want to actually show yourself a true interlocutor.
----------------------------------
You prove yourself to not be a genuine debater. Nor correctly cite your sources, and what they actually say. I cite sources including URLs and you call that cherry-picking. Your one source's actual text disproved your assertion. YOUR source: "13 July 2023" -- "In May 2023 compared with May 2022, industrial production decreased by 2.2% in the euro area and by 1.8% in the EU."
Perhaps modeling yourself after Danilov's productivity would be a good thing? After all, $ 97,100.00 in the last ninety days is exemplary, isn't it?
That's sure a heftier take that Free Republic's quarterly fund drive. By the way, have you contributed to FR recently?There's is a fund drive going on.
You gaslight as much as any leftist/globalist/WEF scumbag does.
So, is there, or is there not, a direct correlation between rising energy costs and consumer goods pricing? If, for instance, a pizza shop paid 500 Euros per month for gas for its ovens and a year later pays 1500, does that make it more or less likely that the shop will fail? Does it make it more or less likely that the cost to make pizzas will rise dramatically and therefore its customers will have to pay more for a pizza?
You know the answers. Stop gaslighting. And while you're at it, tell the millions of Europeans who barely squeak by every month due to rocketing costs that they're full of crap and that "There is more money coming in for most of you than ever." "
Now, who, exactly, comprises the "hordes" of tourists you see? Do you interview them and then tally where they come from?
Still won't answer the questions about that cowardly scumbag Davydov?
Your silence is your answer.
Thought so.
A side question: Are you Eastern European? Youcraynian? Your writing style points in that direction.
Latest Nat Gas in Europe
Lowest since May 2021

Btw, check out Spanish electric prices vs Italian. We pay almost half. You guys need a new government.
“”””Hmmmm…I see deleted posts. I sure hope nobody is engaging in censorship.””””
Over and over on thread after thread, you keep accusing freerepublic of censoring something, you should contact JR and tell him about your concerns.
“”””It’s a war crime to use cluster bombs if you’re a Russian.””””
You are very confused and I think this has been explained to you over and over.
Using cluster bombs is NOT a war crime, using cluster bombs against civilians CAN be a war crime.
I have spoken to lots of tourists, yes. We are gregarious people. Also, for some weird reason people are always asking me directions. I must look like I know what I’m doing. I don’t, but whatever, I CAN wing it.
Britons, Germans - I once interpreted for a bunch of Germans in Malaga. I don’t speak German. They spoke very little English (surprise, that) and no Spanish. We used (bad) French! - Swedes, Belgians (found some Flemish Alatriste fans! Who knew?), Dutch, French, Czech,.. even a few Filipinos. And a Senegalese. No Americans, who knows why.
Spanish! Well, Basque, but we lot choose one or the other as it suits.
By way of our old colony, the Philippines, flavored by my dad’s and grandads British employer (we first went to Europe, via Ceylon, Aden and Suez, on the last P&O liner, the great “Oriana”, we had golliwogs and read Enid Blyton), and almost 40 years in California. I’m an obvious foreigner everywhere. I am globalism embodied in human flesh.
Suit yourself. Pearls before ... - you know what.
I was making a fair bit more than Danilov seems to be. Not now, but I am retired, with the peeled grapes and all.
Thanks for that. So, doing simple arithmetic, you were earning circa $360K a year? No wonder you have such a carefree view of tourism industry wages in Spain and Italy. Fat cat time. Good for you. And let them eat cake.
-——Without the Kerch Bridge——
The railway bridge was apparently not hit.
The rails carry the military supplies
Why was the railway bridge not taken out? Did the drones strike the wrong bridge piers?

These are the remains of 220mm Uragan rockets shot at Kharkiv (the city) last year. It was daily news for a few months in 2022. There were lots of remnants all over the city, a lot of them curiously stuck upright into the ground, or even asphalt. They werent duds, those were remnants of cluster munitions carriers. Look at the picture closely and you will see the racks for them, expelled from the rockets.
Er, yes, a fat cat, but rather less so than before, in several dimensions.
Tourism wages are low. Poor people need to make a living too. Or perhaps you are one of those guys who wants the government to force the minimum wage up to uneconomic levels? I thought they called those people Democrats. Or adjacent.

These were Naval drones, just two of them.
Not enough got through, or the warheads weren’t powerful enough to destroy the bridge piers.
Having made Danilov-level remuneration, you surely are donating to Free Republic, I assume.
"Or perhaps...."
Well, yes. I donate monthly.
As should you.

Nothing on your boy Davydov, eh?
“Nothing on your boy Davydov, eh?”
Am I supposed to provide you something?
“word salad”
I’m an engineer, not a striking scriptwriter!
Will you post pics of the “made in USA” markings on the duds found next month?
