US Dollar 11% down to EURO over last 12 months. And hitting new lows. The country is becoming less welcoming to foreigners, more unpredictable and fighting closes allies.

'Pax Americana' is dead. Europe needs to build own 'Pax Europeana'

Find at least one difference:

That should be "Bored of Peace".

No comment :)

I see some similarity here. For sure both are/were inteligent, similar stare, similar loyalty

Here is the list of Putin's relatives (kids, wives / mistresses, other relatives) and their positions in Russian business/state. Unexpectedly long list

April 25, 1945 - Brits bombed and heavily damaged Berghof, Hitler's mountains residence in Bavarian Alps Did Americans complain about the bombing of the Hitler's house then? :) The ruins of Berghof were dynamited/destroyed in 1952

Historical note - if you do not know what Pioneer was in former Soviet block: 'massive youth movement (ages 9-14)', quasi voluntary

Trump said Ukraine “has nothing unless I approve it”, it is pure arrogance. Ukraine is not a bargaining chip and Zelensky is not a subordinate waiting for permission. People need to understand this invasion is not about Trump’s ego or dealmaking fantasies with Putin. Fuck Trump.

I like the red button :)

Question for mathematicians: Which number is bigger?

Without You (post by Mr Zelensky, Sep 11, 2022) "Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as terrible and deadly for us as your "friendship and brotherhood". But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food ... and without you!" Still so actual!

It doesn't matter. Nobody wants to hear any more outrageous lies!

Eastern Europe in 1721 - when Russian Empire was established. Borders and countries were nothing like they are today today. Is it right to try to restore those borders and empires today?

According to poll from mid 2022 "only 29% of Russians currently have a passport, and only 2% of them have a Schengen visa." Also: "In the last five years, 23% of our fellow citizens have traveled abroad". This is one of reasons why Russian anti-EU propaganda works so well.

Russian empire was relatively short-living entity 1721-1917(?) Here is map showing the the situation around 1500. You cannot even find 'Russia' there. But I see Lithuania, Poland, Moldavia etc - those are historical nations...

American FED functions as a custodian for gold for some European national banks. Considering latest changes in American politics - Donald Trump, his executive orders, Greenland, relations with Russia - there might be some reasons to reconsider this. It is about 2500 tons of gold bars

Some new Epstein photos were released today.

Steve Rosenberg asking Putin: "What kind of future are you planning ... ? In this future, will any public dissent from the official line be punishable by law, as it is now? Will the search for enemies, both external and internal, intensify?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5kl...

Ukrainians who adopted Russian citizenship voluntarily are automatically stripped of Ukrainian citizenship and thus are not eligible to vote in any Ukrainian elections. 10 millions of Ukrainians in Russia? Maybe. But how many of the still does not have Russian citizenship? Who will check this?

Pretty much

Russian staircase

It is not what it seems. It is not 'we will not attack Europe'. Lavrov actually means 'we should sit down, negotiate, agree on something and a pledge not to attack might be part of the deal' It is like a local mafia willing to protect your shop from bad accidents.

Imagine Trump being president during WWII: - No Land&Lease to Russia - No allied invasion of Sicily 1943 - No D-Day (Normandy landing) 1944

"Zelensky constantly on cocaine" - says Russian propagandist. I believed they already dropped this line... but it is back BTW, how long till Trump adopts this claim?

Response to Putin's claim: 'Donbas was always Russia' Note: Moscow = Muscovy = Grand Duchy of Moscow = Moscow principality

Do we want Europe weak or strong? Russians will hate us more, but also respect us more.

“In war between Russia and Ukraine, United States surrendered first.”

This world has gone crazy. Nazis are lecturing us about democracy now

WWII was not started by USSR but it enabled it. If there will be WWIII - I do not know who will start it - but Trump's executive is enabling it right now.

Putin: We will import Indians so that more Russians can go and die in Ukraine. I remain a master strategist.

Is Odessa really a Russian city? What does history say about the site? Greek settlement 6-th c Golden Horde (fortress Khadjibey) 13-15 c Lithuania 1415–84 Ottoman Emp. 1484–1789 Russian E. 1789–1917 Ukrainian Peoples Rep. 1917-20 USSR 1922–41 Romania 1941–44 USSR 1944–91 Ukraine 1991–present

Americans do not seem to understand that USA with allies and USA all alone is two different things. BRICS wanted to destroy American superiority. But America overtook BRICS, it destroyed itself from inside

If Goebbels prize existed Putin has it.

"Russia revives Soviet-era barter trade as oil revenues plunge and currency reserves dry up" Important aspect of barter is that it effectively hides the exchange rate used in the deal. Moscow stubbornly refuses to devaluate the ruble, obviously for PR reasons. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/02/f...

👀 Rutte on the Kremlin's cynical plans for peace talks: "I have long stopped commenting on what Putin, Lavrov, Peskov say. I have met with all of them, even when I was PM of the Netherlands: let them say, it is not always necessary to react."

Dedicated to fighting wokeness.

Kremlin is huge. Ceilings high. The great czar receiving lucky guests and envoys. If there should be negotiations with Putin make him go to some small, ordinary place. No garbage like red carpet and formation of soldiers. Do not give Russians an advantage of Kremlin grandiosity.

The realities on the ground are an integral part of what makes russia a genocidal former superpower desperate to seem strong, while increasingly teetering at the edge of the abyss.

I like the fact that Ukraine negotiate with officials in USA and Europe, while Russia has to talk to nobodies and via back channels.

Again? Below is an article from May 23, 2025. Does everybody in Russia have a memory of goldfish? Or they understand that all this is a BS and keep their mouth shut?

Witkoff and Kushner heading to Moscow to meet with Putin is not Putin's diplomatic victory. It is his humiliation. He wants to negotiate with American government, with some official roughly on his level, like Rubio, and he gets two stooges hoping to earn some Russia money instead.

Three negotiators - two competing peace plans
