Ukraine invasion

[timsk]

. . . Of course, if you're so convinced that Putin isn't going to be around for much longer, you can put your money where your mouth is and have a wager. I say that Biden, Harris / Trump (whichever wins in November) and Zelensky will all be out of office before Putin is. All you need do is accept my generous offer and then 1 oz of 999 fine silver could be yours - if Putin leaves office, voluntarily or otherwise, before the other three clowns are replaced.
Tim.

Hey c_v,
Here's another wager offer for you that you're gonna love. Trust me, you're gonna want to bite my arm off at the ankle on this one! Same as before but with an additional time constraint (in bold) regarding Zelensky's time in office. Here it is . . .

I say that Biden, Harris / Trump (whichever wins in November) and Zelensky will all be out of office before Putin is. Moreover, that Zelensky will be out of office by the third anniversary of the war on 24th February 2025. So, if Zelensky is still in office after the 24.02.2025 - you win the bet and 1 oz of 999 fine silver is yours. If he's been replaced, you can still win the bet if Harris / Trump is still U.S. President when Putin stands down or is removed from office. I only win the bet if the following two conditions are met:
1. Zelensky has gone by 24.02.2025.
2. Harris / Trump are out of office before Putin. (This gives Trump 4 years to outlast Putin and Harris 8 years if she wins two consecutive terms of office!)

Seriously c_v, this wager is unbelievably favourable to you. If you don't want to take me up on it, then you've gotta admit that it's game over for Zelensky and Ukraine. One or the other - which is it to be?
Tim.

Has the EU suddenly realized how much it has screwed itself over?​

This article is very true and on the ball. The Rise and Good Times in Europe were largely down to Russia opening up and joining free trade as well as Russian money flowing into Europe and the UK.

Alongside cheap energy prices for gas and oil Russian oligarchs have made many investments in Europe like buying Chelsea FC alongs side expensive yatchs.

Europe has lost some screws and total madness following the US. Good times are facing the East not the West.

Best thing EU can do is start thinkig about doing some trade deal with the BRIC block imho.

Best think EU can do is start thinkig about doing some trade deal with the BRIC block imho.

I've heard that Viktor Orban is considering applying to become a member of BRICS (it's a very long list apparently - pretty much the rest of the world wants to be in it). This would necessitate Hungary leaving NATO and the EU. I've not seen anything official, so treat this as mis/dis/malinformation for the time being. But, if it turns out to be true, it would send shock waves right through the heart of the corrupt western establishment.

Interestingly, what separates Orban from all other European NATO leaders? He is the only one who is not a war monger and has made a concerted effeort to try to end the war via negotiations.
