In four years they haven’t conquered the Donbas let alone Ukraine. They’re nearly bankrupt. Their navy is crap, their air force couldn’t fight an air to air war to save its life and their army is a mess. It’s nation that’s all smoke and mirrors.

You over estimate their capabilities.

The ancient Egyptians just got out the chisel and scratched the images and names out. Whoever designed that coin is no numismatist either.

Nobody knows what to do or what the solutions are. It could be the one thing that finally brings down the curtain on the Islamic Republic.

government is sitting on a time bomb and is itself looking at relocating to the coast. Ten million people are already having their water pressure reduced and cut off at night. There is simply nothing left. Aquifers have been drained - one so many that the ancient city of Persepolis is in danger of

I don’t wonder.

Hopefully so will its founder be and the whole thing will die the horrible death political aberrations and hatefulness on this scale deserve.

and a belief they could get away with it all. Except they have not. Andrew and Trump should be in jail.

deliberately using his naive and greedy nature to draw him in to Epstein’s world.
Once in he seemed to have no limits. Trump knew him, he even stayed with Epstein at Maralago. He’s just as involved as Trump. The whole thing was Epstein manipulating and controlling people via their base instincts

I have actually been reading the Entitled - The Fall of The House of York.
I had no idea how long the former Prince known as Andrew had been having an on-off affair with Ghislaine Maxwell -
It went on before she even knew Epstein and afterwards Andrew’s few friends tried to warn him she was

It’s quite tragic. War always is.

there’s virtually nothing the other side can say or do without it being used against them. The only way to defend is for the defender to find an irrefutable fact you can’t escape from and hammer it home. That’s why for example, the Epstein files matter so much - even Trump can’t get away from them.

are being accused of.
It’s never you it’s always the other side. You are always the aggrieved party, it’s always anyone’s fault but yours.
If you need to, redefine the argument after you already accepted the original
premise, and blame the other side for making you do it.
If you do it well enough
November 13, 2025 at 6:58 AM
It’s the same playbook over and over again. Accuse the other side of what you’ve been or are doing. Whatever you are doing that’s bad, accuse the other side of doing it to you.
Never accept any responsibility and always accuse the other side of being both the cause and source of the problem that you

I spent ages trawling all sorts of information - including some official lines and agencies and I’m not even sure the Ukrainians know the exact picture and the Russians don’t either.

Russian export channels for crude oil are seriously limited.
The Chinese remain strategically committed to Russia staying in the war, but only if China is effectively raping them financially for their support. Cynicism at its finest.

tankers carrying crude with nowhere to go. They seem to be willing to support Russian income streams but only if they’re getting bargain basement deals, and using a multitude of methods to avoid the sanctions trail.
With Tuapse out of action and likely to remain that way, and Ust-Luga struggling,

‘to ascertain’ not ‘Thomas retain’!

hit recruitment is no minor one. Calling up reservists to ostensibly defend critical infrastructure, is just a way to get men who have been in the military, but spent four years assiduously avoiding going to Ukraine, fighting in Ukraine. The MoD says they won’t be deployed; you know they’re lying.
