Ok, lets get some things straight.

Forbes is a 100+ year old American business magazine. Its editor-in-chief is Steve Forbes who is a conservative and Republican, who also has run for the GOP's presidential nomination twice!

WSJ is the Wall Street Journal, another American business publication and owned by Rupert Murdoch, a well-known conservative who also owns Fox News, and supports the Republican party and Trump. He also has a long history and association with Putin.

Thank you for this detailed clarification.

But it is of no use. The factual world of our stocker2014 is a world with the foresight of someone in a closed tin can. Unfortunately, he was therefore never able to see beyond the edge of the can. And since the can is round on the inside, his cramped knowledge keeps spinning in its tiny closed circuit.

Therefore, any argument is pointless. If someone like that decides that the earth is a disk, you can never dissuade them.

A totalitarian and Nazi world can be achieved very quickly. Ill even write it like this:
1. Ukraine signs complete surrender, renounces statehood and allows Russian orc troops to reach the EU borders.
2. Ukrainians are mobilized into the army of orcs.
3. Cowardly Americans run away from the EU in 2-3 weeks.
4. The army of Russian orcs will completely occupy the entire EU in 1-2 months.
5. At the same time, China occupies Taiwan, Iran occupies Israel, and North Korea occupies South Korea.
6. Other actions are possible regarding the occupation of Australia by China, etc. (I dont know all the plans of the terrorists).

So, is such a world suitable? Suitable for everyone?
____

The entire democratic world holds together only thanks to the courage of Ukrainians. The cowardly Europarasites will surrender to the Russian orcs in a few days. And this is confirmed by surveys that were conducted in EU countries.

The Russians won't even need to use nuclear weapons. Conventional weapons will be sufficient. Cowardly democracies will never be the first to use nuclear weapons. As a result, all EU nuclear weapons will come under Russian control.

ps.
I propose to Hollywood to make a film or series based on this very real scenario.

Oh, once again great "facts" from our all-knowing superstar.

Zero, or anyone else from the USA.
Can someone please explain and categorize how and why these anti-Israel protests at American universities come about?
This is all the result of the policy of US Democrats (friends of world terrorism). The majority of the Democratic electorate is against Israel and supports Hamas. University teachers are also mostly democrats and do not teach correctly.

I hope that RalfLiebhold does not read my answer, because he put me on his personal ignore list. I am answering the question not for him, but for all other readers. RalfLiebhold, don't read my answer, it's not for you!  ;D ;D ;D

If such missiles had been supplied, Crimean Bridge would have already been destroyed.

According to the article, the missiles have been delivered earlier this month. So they may not yet have been deployed to the front.

The delivery was made in return for the promise to use the weapons exclusively within Ukraine.
However, I don't know whether there were any arrangements regarding disputed regions such as Donbass, Luhansk or Crimea.
I have read that they have already been used.

I'll quote zero talent: "There are no former KGB agents."  ;D ;D ;D





At best, the photo I posted with Biden in the 80s suggests that Biden liked the USSR, liked the Russians, liked the fascists. Biden was a politician for relations with the USSR. I am against such politicians in power in the USA.

Once again you are presenting your assertions as facts.
Then I could also claim that Trump is a KGB agent based on the photos I showed you.
I personally don't like your suggestive nature. You always claim to only present facts. Instead, you fuel everyone with pure conjecture that is completely unproven and unprovable.
I stand by it: you are a Russian troll!

Biden smiles sincerely (against the background of a KGB agent), even though his interlocutor is not smiling. This photo is proof of the fact that Biden liked Russians early in his career.


If you write that it's evidence because someone at the highest level of politics likes someone just because they smile, then you could at least say that for Biden this only applied to the distant past.

You could figuratively counter with the present...

You have written that you believe Putin. And you have deduced from this argument that Biden belongs in the electric chair.

Everything you wrote is lies, nonsense and trolling.


Okay, let's have a look what you wrote:

Today putin began to support Biden. For me this is logical, Biden did a lot to support the Russian Na.zis.

Zero Talent, you democrat fans have big problems now. Your main argument against Trump was based on the assumption that putin and the Russians support him. Now you no longer have this argument.    
putin has publicly stated that he supports Biden.    

There is such a newspaper as the New York Times. This newspaper often publishes Russian propaganda and disinformation. This newspaper is now supporting Biden. This means that putin really only wants to support Biden.

What putin did and how he controls US Democrats:
Putin publicly said that he supports Biden in the US presidential election.
The US Democratic Party should be banned. Biden's place is in prison.

Putin claims it will be better for Russia if Biden wins US election.
Putin was asked: "Who is better for us [Russians] Biden or Trump?"
Quote from putin: "Biden. He is a more experienced person, he is predictable, and he is a politician of the old formation."

https://t.me/news_kremlin/3152

But trolls from the US Democratic Party will continue to claim that putin does not support Biden. What putin said is support!

Putin publicly supported Biden. You deny the facts. This is how Democratic propaganda works.

Now this is what we have. We have already seen two public speeches by putin, when he twice supports Biden and even says that he supports him in the US elections. This is a signal for all Russians in the USA and for all Russian trolls to support Biden.

Therefore, when I refer to facts, and this is putins support for Biden, I do this specifically for the sect called US Democrats. You Zero Talent are not an independent voter, you are a Democrat troll. These are also facts.

Zero Talent is a Democratic troll who follows Putin's orders to support Biden. Putin has already addressed the trolls twice and said that Biden is the best president for russia.

Russian trolls from Olgino (ольгинские тролли) started to promote Trump in 2015:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency


Quote
The agency employed fake accounts registered on major social networking sites, discussion boards, online newspaper sites, and video hosting services to promote the Kremlin's interests in domestic and foreign policy including Ukraine and the Middle East as well as attempting to influence the 2016 United States presidential election. More than 1,000 employees reportedly worked in a single building of the agency in 2015.

Putin recently said twice that Biden is the best president for russia.


Putin said in 2014 that he could take Kiev in 2 weeks if he wanted to.
Right? Wrong?
Putin said in February 2022 that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was provocative speculation by the West and pure "hysteria".
True? Wrong?
Putin says the Ukrainian government are *.
Is that right? Wrong?
Putin says the attack on Ukraine is pure self-defense.
Right? Wrong?
Putin says the Donbass is a sovereign region in which genocide must be prevented.
Right? Wrong?
Putin says the Ukrainian government is a puppet regime.
Right? Wrong?
Putin says that Russians, Belarusians and Ukraine are one people.
True? Wrong?

Putin says Biden is the best US president for the Russians.
Right? Wrong?

You need to go back to first grade in school and learn to read. I was responding to the phrase "Russian trolls from Olgino (Olgin's trolls) started to promote Trump in 2015:".
For the illiterate, Ill explain that Trumps advertising by trolls is no different from Bidens advertising by putin.

No, you have already written many times that Putin would prefer Biden as US president. You have written that you believe Putin. And you have deduced from this argument that Biden belongs in the electric chair.

Why don't you read for yourself what nonsense you are writing?

Once again: you are so blind that you really believe Putin on this point. So you are a Russian troll!

I've only ever done microstock as a hobby on the side because of my job. My portfolio has therefore always remained very small.

I started with Fotolia in 2009, with Shutterstock at the end of 2010 and with istock in 2012. I also started with 4 other agencies at that time. Things went uphill until 2015/2016, since then it's been downhill.

Back then, in the best phase, it looked like this for me per month per 1,000 images on average:

- Fotolia/AS: $460
- Shutterstock: $600
- Istock: $200 - but I only had about 600 images there, so this would be about $330 for 1000 images
- 123rf: $75
- deposit: $75
- Dreamstime: $50

It was a lot of fun back then because you were motivated by the ranking systems. Unfortunately, Shutterstock had an upper limit of $10,000 and that was reached very quickly.
I definitely wouldn't want to miss that time. It was great!

Recently, I have read about a fake YouTube channel that claims to be pro-Ukrainian, but the content presented there is absurd and there are accusations that its fundraisers are fake.

So, now I think that is very likely that stoker2014 is a russian troll. And I think he should be treated as such. I mean, how can a normal person post such stupidities multiple times per day? Most importantly, the individual behind the nick stoker2014 attacks Ukraine's allies and promotes the agenda of those who oppose aid for Ukraine. He blatantly ignores what official Ukrainian sources have to say.

This is a top russian propagandist and stocker's idol explaining why facts don't matter:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1c7uf1e/olga_skabeyeva_a_russian_top_propagandist/

This why I find the very idea of the so-called 'russian world' disgusting, it is filled with nihilism, it is evil to the core. Just like for Skabaeva, facts don't matter for stoker2014, he will spin any facts to match his degenerated propaganda based on lies and delusions. Stoker2014 attempts to muddy the waters with his intellectual excrements that he tirelessly posts in this space.

So, from now on, I will consider stoker2014 a russian troll that claims to be pro-Ukrainian but acts against the interests of Ukraine.

That's right: he's a Russian troll!

Anyone who insults everyone who helps in the way he does is trying to create a bad image of the people and mentality in Ukraine. He has been doing this for hundreds of pages now. He wants people to believe that Ukrainians are ungrateful, anti-democratic, extremely prejudiced and think in black and white.

At the same time, he is trying to praise to the skies those who will hand over Ukraine or parts of it to Putin.

The point is absolutely obvious. I'm certainly not falling for it.

The way I see it, there will never be any weapons from the USA for Ukraine that would make it possible to attack Russia directly and on a large scale. Anyone with even half a normal mind can imagine what that would lead to. The Democrats know that, the Republicans know that.
 
Therefore, from my point of view, there are two perspectives:

- The hope that at some point the Republicans will at least release the delivery of the large aid package with defense weapons (which is already failing and will become an even bigger problem if the Republicans should not win the election)

- Trump's negotiations with his buddy Putin, which will at least result in the recognition of Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk as Russian territories. 

In the second case, Trump will spin it rhetorically by claiming that he had no other negotiating option because Putin wants compensation for the losses from the arms deliveries that the Democrats were able to push through. In short: Trump will say that we could have negotiated better from Ukraine's point of view if Ukraine had not resisted. But the Democrats prevented this by supplying weapons. And then he will pat himself on the back:

 - he was able to blame the Democrats for Ukraine having to cede territory to Russia

 - from his point of view, the conflict has been resolved, as he had promised

Wilm, I still hope that, even if they are a minority inside the GOP now, there are still enough old-school Republicans left in Congress so that together with an almost unanimous pro-Ukraine vote from the Democrats, the bill will pass.

maga and trump are indeed an existential threat for Ukraine.

Another example (see below): JD Vance, another maga representative, the same who wrote that Op-Ed in the NY Times justifying how Ukraine should give putin what he wants in exchange for an illusory peace (mentioned a few pages ago), is against the REPO Act meant to seize russian assets and give them to Ukraine, being concerned that it will remove trump's ability to negotiate with putin!
JD Vance is instead trying to convince his colleagues to protect putin's billions.

And stoker still needs proofs...

Yes, some members of the Republican Party want to show off and are engaged in populism. But only Democratic trolls can inflate all this nonsense to the level of a worldwide Republican conspiracy against Ukraine. You are funny.


That's absolutely crazy.

Everything is black or white with you. All Russians are orcs. All Europeans are parasites. Everything that suits you is correct - everything that doesn't suit you comes from the KGB and is propaganda.

And now you're making an exception in your completely entrenched world view? A few members of the Republicans? Why are you suddenly able to differentiate?

Don't you see how ridiculous your are?
1. Before the actual voting, I see only your fantasies.
2. It was only thanks to the Republican Party that ATACMS missiles were added to this bill. Without these missiles, the US Democratic bill was a steal of money from US taxpayers and a gift for putin and all Russians.

Are you ready to bet that MTG and your maga darlings who call Ukrainains na*zis will vote against the pro-Ukraine bill?
Are you ready to bet that a vast majority of Democrats will vote in favor of it?

I don't usually bet, but these things are as obvious as the daily sunrise.

FYI, As predicted, MTG, whom you defended for calling Ukrainians n*zis, just filed a motion to vacate Mike Johnson for pushing the pro-Ukraine bill.
In her head, Mike Johnson is now a Democrat speaker and Ukrainians are na*zis.
Defend her, now!

This is maga. How many more proofs do you still need?

https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1780985369250419139

Proofs don't help him at all. He is a conspiracy theorist. There's no way to beat the "logic" of these people!

But I'll bet with you in any case. The Republicans will vote against it - that much is absolutely certain. Because they follow the propaganda and the credo of the Trump camp. And that means: America first. Securing its own borders has absolute priority over any help for Ukraine.

So this will not get through and the urgently needed aid for Ukraine will not materialize. Then our conspiracy theorist will come up with something new - presumably that Democratic propaganda is to blame for the Democrats not getting their way on the aid package. Or something like that - it would fit in with his completely muddled thinking.

If Trump wins the election in October - and unfortunately I am almost certain of that - and Ukraine is then handed over to the Russians by Trump in wrapping paper, the Democrats will again be to blame - that is also absolutely certain with such a skewed world view of our conspiracy theorist.

The border security that Republicans consider so important at least has the advantage that stocker2014 cannot accuse Republicans of wanting to solve their own demographic problems with migrants from Latin America.

However, border security is of course just a pretext for "What do we care about Ukraine? It's far away and not our problem. We have much more important problems - America first."

Meanwhile, a delegation of parasites has arrived in Kiev to help rebuild the energy infrastructure destroyed by the Russians.

Oh, yes, I must have made a mistake. My understanding is that Germany was defeated by the Allies. They then divided Germany into US, British, French and Russian occupation zones. Where I grew up, it was the Americans who were part of our daily lives. I had no way of knowing that they were Russians in disguise - please excuse my ignorance. So it was also the Russians who landed in Normandy?

You were probably told at school that it was the USA and Great Britain who were able to defeat the German army.  ;D ;D ;D


No, we weren't taught that. If you could read, I used the term "allies".

Unexploded bombs are regularly defused here in the city. There have been 3 in the past 2 weeks - the last one last Sunday. All of them are of US or British origin.

2 million tons of bombs were dropped over Germany by the air forces of the USA and the Royal Air Force. The resulting deaths (approx. 600,000), the immense destruction, especially of the major cities, and the associated decline in the morale of the civilian population played a significant role in the downfall of Germany and its unjust regime. The war was won not least due to the air superiority of the Allies.

But since, as always, you have your own truth, I can spare you this information.

I suppose you wrote your own schoolbooks?
1. Germany was bombed not only by the Western allies, but also by the USSR.
2. The Western Allies began bombing Germany only in 1943.

In January 1943, at the Casablanca Conference, it was decided to begin strategic bombing of Germany by joint British-American forces. The objects of the military industry and German cities were to be the targets of the bombing.
In July-August 1943, Hamburg suffered massive bombing. The double raid on Schweinfurt and Regensburg on August 17, 1943 was the first massive raid on objects deep in Germany. Bomber units were unable to defend themselves against German fighter attacks, and losses were high (about 20%). Such losses were deemed unacceptable and the Eighth Air Force (US) ceased air operations over Germany until the arrival of fighters, North American P-51 Mustangs, with sufficient range to fly to Berlin and back.

3. At the end of 1942 and 1943, German troops suffered crushing defeats on the territory of Ukraine. It was only thanks to this that the United States and Britain decided to start bombing Germany. They saw that Germany was losing the war.
4. The Western Allies opened a second front only in 1944. Normandy is already the summer of 1944.

Conclusions: The USA and Britain are cowards who waited until evil in the person of the fascist USSR defeated evil in the person of Na.zi Germany. When the cowardly Western allies saw that Germany began to lose the war, only then did they launch an air operation, and a year later only a ground operation.

I'll tell you this, if the USA and Britain had not landed in Europe, the USSR would have occupied all of Europe. Therefore, their landing was only with the goal of stopping fascism from the USSR.

Once more I can see that you still write your own schoolbooks.  ;D ;D ;D

What characterizes the people who govern the countries of "the axis of evil"?

They all have one thing in common: they increase their personal wealth - and therefore their power - at the expense of the people they govern.
I can say about the Russians. They are genetic slaves, orcs and zombies. Russians cannot have any other power than putin or someone like him.
I fear that Trump will become nothing more than another building block in the axis of evil.
There is no need to attribute the crimes of Biden and the Democrats to Trump.

And I can imagine that stocker2014 also sees this risk. But he doesn't care, because his credo is that only evil can defeat other evil.
You should drink less!
I don't think Republicans are evil.

Personally, I think that the example of the German chancellor in the Second World War is a perfect example of how evil doesn't always win. And at that time, it didn't take evil to defeat evil in Germany.
You don't know history at all! What were you taught at your school?
Germany was defeated by the USSR, which was a fascist country like Germany. The Gestapo is the progeny of the NKVD.
All other good people (European countries) surrendered to Hitler within a few days.

The problem is not just Donald Trump. The problem is above all the people who blindly follow him. Because they promise themselves power, influence, great positions and financial benefits after his election. It was the same in Germany back then. It's the same in Russia - see Medvedev or Lavrov.
The next fairy tales. Half the US doesn't like Democrats because they are *insult removed*. Go to states that support Republicans and talk to people, they will tell you who the Democrats are.

Yes, the bottom line for Trump is not "America first", as he has repeatedly declared, but "Trump first".

And therein lies the main problem I have with stocker2014's recurring dream.

What characterizes the people who govern the countries of "the axis of evil"?

They all have one thing in common: they increase their personal wealth - and therefore their power - at the expense of the people they govern. And I swear that there is no more important goal for Donald Trump than to use his political office to fill his own bank accounts. To this end, he is prepared to undermine democracy to his own advantage. And he doesn't really care about Ukraine when it comes to this goal.

I myself am not a fan of Biden. My problem is not Biden's politics, but his age and state of health. When I imagine that he could govern for another 4 years, I am anything but pleased.

But I would still give him the edge over Trump any day. I fear that Trump will become nothing more than another building block in the axis of evil.

And I can imagine that stocker2014 also sees this risk. But he doesn't care, because his credo is that only evil can defeat other evil.

Personally, I think that the example of the German chancellor in the Second World War is a perfect example of how evil doesn't always win. And at that time, it didn't take evil to defeat evil in Germany.
