I am genuinely sorry that people are screaming at you for being ‘normal’. It may distress you to know that in the Russian Federation transgender people are allowed to change their legal gender without requiring sex reassignment surgery. Homosexuality has been de-classified as a mental illness.In Soviet Russia, sex reassignment surgeries were first tried during the 1920s. Later they were performed by Irina Golubeva, an endocrinologist, authorized by psychiatrist Aron Belkin, who was the strongest Soviet advocate for transgender people until his death in 2003. So please take your hysteria somewhere else. Russia is not your champion in prejudice. Unless like the CIA and NED you would like to portray the Russian Federation this way as part of the propaganda war against Russia.

“The Russian Embassy saying what Canadians and Americans are forbidden to say is them showing an example of true freedom in action, and is a sign to westerners that Russia is holding up an example of liberty and freedom that citizens in the US and Canada have lost, the right to say the obvious in public.”

I think this actually a strategy from the Trudeau administration/regime (whatever you prefer) working together with the help of the Russian embassy in Canada to tackle some of the entrenched foreign policy bureaucracy, which is where these decisions are originating. If you look at the provincial leaders in Canada, they are much more conservative in social outlook than those sitting at desks in the unelected federal foreign policy department. It appears those same bureaucrats are also instigating a war/unrest with Russia and that has created an opportunity to take action about it. Well, it’s created pressure/support (whatever you prefer) from the Kremlin. My 2 cents.

Under Russian Federation law people can change their gender without re-assignment surgery and their chosen gender recognised. Stop spreading American propaganda about Russia. Transgender rights are recognised in the Russian Federation. Project your prejudice elsewhere.

Nick@43…in WW1 the trench water was waist deep. My grandfather spent his fair share of time in them. He said it was water, mud, blood, human waste and Lice. Every six weeks the Quartermaster came with new uniforms. They were called up out of the trenches and changed clothes right there on the spot. All the discarded uniforms were then piled up and burned.

“Morawiecki, meanwhile, caused some controversy by suggesting in his speech that Germany, which was occupying Ukraine when most of the massacres took place, was ultimately responsible for them.”
Yes. A very pertinent question.

16th Feb: Felicity Ace fire.
20th Feb: Credit Suisse leak.
Both those events would have been easy enough for Empire saboteurs to engineer, both put non-US interests on the back foot, and both occur in the window of time prior to the 24th when US-allied intelligence was probably certain that Russia was days away from sending its troops into Ukraine.

Do you see the part in bold ? I did that. Why do you imagine I put it in bold ? In case you don’t know I will tell you. The contention is NOT that he went to lay flowers on a Wolyn Memorial. The contention is that he ALSO WENT to do that at some Bandera statue, which supposedly is “evidenced” by the second photo in the link.

President, Kyiv School of Economics; Adviser, Zelensky administration; Minister of economy, Ukraine, 2019-2020; Associate professor, University of Pittsburgh
Day 5 after the latest Russian attack on Kyiv. Day 277 of the war. I am president of the Kyiv School of Economics, a former minister of economy of Ukraine, and a professor of economics at the University of Pittsburgh. I left the US for Kyiv 4 days before the war 1/
and stayed there, with some short trips outside of Ukraine for fundraising. Officially, I am on sabbatical leave from Pittsburgh this year. I guess not many people have field sabbaticals, here the field is a war. I left the US because I must lead the Kyiv School of 2/
Economics through the war. I hold a green card and can leave Ukraine at any moment. But I do not want to and will not do it. Now, back to my day. It was busy and I am tired. Shopping, looking and assembling things. In short, preparing for another likely Russian attack tomorrow 3/
Many people suggested that we can sleep in a tent in our bedroom. So we dug out sleeping bags and went to buy a tent. 4/
The shops were open and it was Black Friday. Everything on sale. But when we were about to pay, the electricity went off. The shop had a battery and continued to run. They used Xmas lights to save electricity instead of their regular ones. It was very cozy. Here is a pic. 5/
Many people suggested that when the electricity and heating go out, we use candles or gas / kerosine heaters to warm the apartment. We decided against it. First, it is not too safe for novices. Second, none are on the market or we could find. So, we drove to 6/
another store to get at least some wood and coal. The plan is to use an simple and small firewood oven that we can set up on our balcony if all else fails. How do you drive when there is no lights in the city, that is, no traffic lights? Traffic police come out! My respect! 7/
We wanted to try the firewood idea, just to practice, when we get home. But we got exhausted bringing all this stuff to the 8th floor. So, we will try it another time. Will post the picture. Yet, my wife wanted some tea anyway. And also she wanted to get hot water 8/
for the morning. She asked me to start the generator so she can use electric tea pot. I did and discovered another problem. The snow on the balcony has melted. And the generator was sliding towards the windows because of vibration. I need a way to fix it in place, but that’s 9/
for tomorrow. Anyway, the water is boiled and stored in thermoses. We have two, one liter each. Perhaps, we should get more. We can probably order them delivered. Here is a pic of a delivery man on a bike 90 mins before the curfew. 10/

Russia has slowed down the destruction of Ukraine energy infrastructure, just long enough for them to patch those things up. Then Russia will promptly destroy them again. Much more soul destroying for Ukraine that way
You would be excused for thinking so, but I’m thinking that they’re just marking it off as destroyed so they can quit working and go back to picking track suits to wear.

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-planned-attack-japan-2021-fsb-letters-1762133
A letter authored by the whistleblower…. has been analyzed by Christo Grozev, an expert on the FSB.
In August 2021, Russia was “quite seriously preparing for a localized military conflict with Japan,” the agent said in an email to Osechkin in March. The FSB agent suggested that Russia instead chose to invade Ukraine months later.
“Confidence that the countries would enter the stage of acute confrontation and even war was high. Why Ukraine was chosen for war in the end [the scenario was not changed much] is for others to answer,” they wrote.
It all makes sense now, doesn’t it, flies?

@ wagelaborer, #95
Too many coddled, participation trophy now turned adults westerners who have few to no practical skills, such as being to keep themselves alive in some sort of sustained crisis.
I spent part of this weekend afternoons (beautiful late Nov autumn weather) scrapping out an old big outdoor gas grill that has served us well for 15+ years but its time had come to update to something newer and smaller. I could have paid my trash hauler extra coin to pick it up and let it be crushed in our regional landfill but I like recycling metal. I ended up with 4 metal piles of various scrap value and possibly a pile of parts that could be still used and maybe sold on ebay. I’ll probably get about $15 USD for my scrap.
I live in a medium sized Midwestern metro area where most people are probably only 1 to 2 generations removed from the farm but I bet less than a fraction of 1% of the population has actually put in time to scrap something such as this old grill. All they see is my time invested and the little money I can make and think nothing of any practical skill (such as knowing a few hand tools, etc) involved in the effort. Or just honest enjoyment of say recycling. Most middle class Americans have just had too easy of lives that then leads to the weird excesses you mention in #95.

I have read that the human wave attacks against the Allied forces in the Korean War were initially conducted by former soldiers in the Nationalist army who had surrendered to the People’s Liberation Army.
1. There were no ‘Human Wave attacks’. I say again, there were no ‘Human Wave attacks’.
Propaganda myth/trope created to explain the total combat ineffectiveness of US/UN forces vs PVA unsupported light infantry.
2. Former soldiers in the Nationalist army who had ‘surrendered’ to the People’s Liberation Army during the Chinese Civil War ?
Minimally & only partially true, though yet more manipulative propaganda. Manpower strength of KMT forces at start of Civil War vs PLA ?
At conclusion in ’49 ?
Through that period ~4M KMT troops, in whole units, Division & above voluntarily changed sides, en mass in increasing numbers as Civil War progresses, thence voluntarily incorporated into PLA. Why ?
The hardcore remnants of the KMT fled to Taiwan on US aircraft & vessels.
PVA in Korean was the same size as US/UN forces, 1:1 ratio re manpower … there be no hordes … PLA & PVA used highly developed light infantry ‘fire & maneuver’ tactics based around base Company strength, developed over previous 19 years warfare, excellent use of terrain & features, as well as highly developed infiltration & blocking tactics … at scale. As opposed to road bound(See: Street without Joy) US/UN with zero effective flank & rear security, poor inter unit communication, co-ordination, especially at the contact line & adjacent units (adjacent having gaps between of Kms). Militarily incompetent & inexscusable, given only five years since VE Day …
Light infantry with small arms only, little arty & few shells, no armor, no airforce, no navy, 18th century logistics, at 1:1 ratio on offensive, utterly defeated US/UN & drove ’em back to 38th Parallel. Longest retreat in US military history … buried ever since … read the shyte on Wikipedia & vomit.
PVA against, Naval CVA fleets(plural), USAF/UN air fleets absolute air dominance, armor, Arty & ammo out the kazoo, etc, etc, etc …
Percentage of US/UN troops being ‘Spear’ as opposed to REMFs ? In the PVA ?
And supposedly Nth Korea ‘surprise’ invaded Sth Korea in 1950 for absolutely no reason at all ? Really ?
Another highly entrenched propaganda LIE.
What had been occurring since US amphibious force landings & establishment of imposed US military Governor since Sept 45 til ’48, thence to start Korean War ? US & it’s former IJA Korean officers/collaborationist filled US installed military Dictatorship as Sth Korea State from ’48 onwards was doing what exactly, including over & into the DPRK borders/State let alone to & with the Sth Korean populace ? Hm ?
See: United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK), etc. NOT Wikipedia, it is all BS on Korea.

Once upon a time, back in ye olde year of 2012 for example, I was pro gay rights. I would have considered appearing side by side with homosexual people in public fora. But then I realised that “gay rights” was not about gay rights: it was a political programme to be used as an imperialist tool, just like the original 19th century “civilising mission” of the Europistani colonialists was the excuse to attack, occupy, enslave, and loot Asia and Africa. Further, there is no end to this “gay rights” thing: first it was homosexual people, then “transgenders”, then whatever “gender fluid” is, then people claiming they can choose their own pronouns, and now it’s no surprise that ephebophiles and paedophiles demand inclusion in this patently political power grab jamboree. From being pro gay rights I have – this is only part of my 180° away from liberalism – become at best neutral, and am on the verge of joining, the “totally against” side. And it is the political imperialist agenda of the LGBTACDEFHIJKMNOPQRSUVWXYZ lot that is responsible for this.

I believe the dynamic has been that promises were made and noe zelensky expects delivery. When there is reluctance, the war slows down and there leaks some discussion of peace. This is normally enough to get the money and arms flowing.

Your list of sleepers for US fascism misses all the sub-layers of mindless professions such as teachers , imams, broadcasters, and all their mindless professional bodies and institutions.
It also misses the very large population of foreign politicos who are unable to earn a living except at spying , which they used to do in their own countries of origin before they came here.
The West offers amazing employment opportunities for every kind of business, but it lacks the essential employment skills needed for totalitarian fascism, corruption , grifting, and dirty tricks politics.
Today I heard on BBC radio 4 a discussion about Ukranian refugees not being welcomed by British citizens. The virus of Nazism has been imported from Ukraine and PTB might assume that equal.opportunities might reduce our intolerance of fascist ideology.
These fascist pathogens will attach themselves to the communities of fascist sleepers and will be rejected by normal British people. Areas of multiculturalism will become transform from Labour to Tory when they discover their affinity with Tory fascism.
In this sense every refugee is a pathogen of the authoritarianism they have sought asylum from. I see immigration will lead ultimately to our becoming a totalitarian state, ironically from a desire to protect thexworld from totalitarian oppression.

An recent example of mosque spying
My son bought a car from one of the family of our local mosque. The person selling the car transferred it my son online thexday before the actual purchase and incurred two penalties for the car in town on that day.
After 6 months of promising to.pay the fines of £298.00 my son and I assembled the evidence from bank statements to prove that my son was not driving at the time.
In the evening of the day that evidence was sent to Dvla the mosque brother phoned up to say that he had paid the fine.
How is I that a tin-pot mosque has the capability to monitor my phone? This is
the question my non-Muslim.son is asking.
I have known for 20 years that the mosque is spying on me. But normal English people find that incredible.
Fascism is creeping in.

Lysias @111:
It is true that the attacks on American forces in Korea were primarily carried out by PLA troops who had formerly been members of the Nationalist army. Their military experience was useful, but they were politically suspect and never to be trusted by Mao’s newly installed regime. They were considered expendable and were mostly armed with obsolete Japanese rifles left behind at the end of WWII and also shot out Mauser rifles captured by the Soviets in the hundreds of thousands at places like Stalingrad.

So the PVA, using, unreliable, expendable ex-KMT troops, using obsolete Japanese rifles & shot out Mauser rifles, whooped the worlds greatest Empire(superpower) & UN vassals, by crushing the ‘Home by Christmas’ offensive in a mere few days, & in less than ~100 days has utterly defeated & driven the Entire US/UN force retreating as fast as they could, all the way back to the 38th parallel on the West coast of Korea, & a hurried desperate mini Dunkirk, destroying & abandoning huge supply/materiel dumps, between Dec15 & Christmas Day 1950, at the port of Hungnam on the East coast ?

Do they also have Thanksgiving, or only the frenzy buying that ensues the day after Americans give thanks for what they already have?
As far as the claim (posted multiple times) that Russia allows people to change their legal sex, willy-nilly, (which seems unbelievable but irrelevant) that has nothing to do with the fact that most rational human beings reject the western top-down imposition of the requirement that we all cosplay with autogynephilic perverts and confused teenagers.

This is Cold War propaganda. As Russell Spurr wrote in Enter The Dragon: China At War In Korea, while ex Guomindang soldiers formed part of the CPV, both Communist and ex GMD troops were fielded. And the Chinese soldiers were very largely armed with PPSh 41 submachine guns, which were feared by the Amerikastani Empire.

To clarify some canards…
The obsolete KH55’s make perfect decoys. Pull out warheads, fly in direction of detected Uke radar systems and monitor. Follow up with modern radar seeking missile close behind — boom — one less Uke air defence radar. Value for money. Try same hunting, fire off an old shotty while your mates have modern rifles at the ready. It is NOT complex.
Freight flights between Russia and China. Ten per week !!!
Wow so how many freight flights between Sydney and Melbourne each day?

Like you, my brother is also gay. However unlike you, he sees no need to try and convert the hetero population into gay and transgender, he is happy to have no discrimination and just live his life in peace. He also believes activists are a minority, albeit a loud mouth one, that do more harm than good with their constant demands for deification.
Russia can do as Russia wants, and they don’t want LBGT activists in any way shape or form, hopefully the West will eventually come to the same conclusion. I have worked with many trans, some are very nice, but many have serious issues. To pretend otherwise is naïve.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Boris Rozhin on the Storming of #Artemovsk/#Bakhmut; pub. 27 Nov 2022, 22:38⚡️
1. Our troops retain the initiative here and continue their offensive.
2. The main battles are taking place outside #Opytnoye, south of #Artemovsk towards #Kurdyumovka, on the eastern outskirts of the city and to the northeast towards Krasnaya Gora.
3. There is currently no “encirclement” of the enemy in #Artemovsk. The enemy, despite heavy losses, continues to maintain the integrity of the front, regularly saturating it with transferred reserves, which are concentrated in the Chasov Yar area.
4. There is also no reason to believe that the enemy will respond in any way to the bizarre “ultimatums” being thrown around. The AFU command is well aware that if #Artemovsk is lost, the “Flower of Popasna 2.0” will blossom there.
5. After the loss of #Opytnoye and the start of an assault on #Artemovsk, the enemy clearly expects to hold on to the eastern part of #Artemovsk for some time and then retreat to the western parts of the city. The bridge in the city centre has long been undermined. Should the city be lost, they will gradually retreat to Chasov Yar.
6. In the current realities, one might well agree with Prigozhin’s view that the more our troops shake up the enemy forces in #Artemovsk, the better.

The AFU was able to cross the Ingulets River at Darievsky Bridge, which had previously been destroyed by the AFU when it withdrew its units from the right-bank part of Kherson Oblast.
When Dariev Bridge was under the control of the RF Armed Forces, it was probably the third most important bridge after Antonov Bridge and Kakhovka HPP, as it provided logistics from Crimea to Kherson to bypass the destroyed Antonov Bridge.
After the Antonov bridge was taken out of service, only the Kakhovka hydropower station could be used, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces also bombed the Darjevsky bridge. Unlike the Dnieper, it was a simple enough task to cross the Ingulets, which the RF Armed Forces did in its time.
Currently, the AFU crossing is in the same place where the AFU crossing was earlier set up. What does this give the AFU? It provides an uninterrupted logistical link between the Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog (Nikopol) directions. Thus, Kherson can now be supplied from both the Mykolaiv and Dnepropetrovsk sides.

Homosexuality and bisexuality are a natural mammalian feature related to population maintenance, a relatively painless way (as opposed to starvation) to prevent overpopulation of a species.
The old Abrahamic Mythology pushed population growth as one of its tenants, therefore gay got labeled as evil, but that has nothing to do with reality.
A gay friend of mine and her partner went to Russia for the World Cup a few years back and loved it. No homophobic vibes, no fear from being openly gay.
What Russia did was outlaw the politicization of homosexuality, which was needed, as that provides backdoor access (; for foreign sponsored color coups.
Due to their history of fighting NAZIS, Russia has a population shortage, so there may be some value to promoting heterosexual relations for the purpose of procreation.
As far as USA politics goes, it is hilarious to see right-wingers so wound up in homosexuality and completely distracted by identity politics. Are all right-wingers just fags who are afraid to come out of the closet? Why the obsession, we have important things to worry about.

What have mosque politics got to do with Ukraine politics?
If you lived in England you would remember that our only chance of a Non-warmongering Government here was mysteriously demolished by a voting switch to the Right in Northern cities, most of which were demolished by Mrs Thatcher’s de-industrialisation and destruction of the miners in the ’80s.
The EU is undergoing a similar catastrophe because of US sanctions on Russian Gas, which is currently bankrupting German businesses and starting a wave of demonstrations. The pretext is Ukraine.
Our MSM tell us that swing to the right was caused by Brexit, but that’s is unbelievable as Germany deliberately bankrupting itself for the sake of Ukraine.
We are asked to believe the impossible, that a posh Etonian from the US will suddenly get the vote of implacable Left wing voters.
Imho the swing happened because of Demographic changes where immigrants from South Asia had taken over large areas of our Northern cities, and they felt no hostility to our ancient right wing enemies.
My point was simply that Nazi immigrants from.a de-populated Ukraine, added to nazi sympathisers from Poland and Islamic State sympathisers from South Asia will lock Britain into fascist politics forever.
Spying is one manifestation of totalitarianism.

To get from Media Release to Reality we need to carry a rough rule of thumb analysis to show ‘this means that’
The combined capacity of the four Nordstream pipes is/was approx 110×10^9 m^3 per annum
The single delivery from Australia was 100×10^6 m^3
So to replace NS they require 1100 deliveries per annum; assume 10% loss for gasification we get to 1200 loads per annum.
Or 100 a month, or about 3 per day every day.
Approx 30 days sailing time inbound means about 90 ships continuously at sea inbound and 90 at sea outbound, so a fleet of about 200 ships which do not yet exist.
So, an example of a brilliant plan. Worthy of Trampolina herself.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs fitted onto abundantly available rockets, allowing Kyiv to strike far behind Russian lines as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms.
U.S. and allied military inventories are shrinking, and Ukraine faces an increasing need for more sophisticated weapons as the war drags on. Boeing’s proposed system, dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is one of about a half-dozen plans for getting new munitions into production for Ukraine and America’s Eastern European allies, industry sources said.
GLSDB could be delivered as early as spring 2023, according to a document reviewed by Reuters and three people familiar with the plan. It combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the M26 rocket motor, both of which are common in U.S. inventories.
This is very dangerous.

I live in one of those northern cities of England and I remember travelling to Trafalgar square in 2003 to protest against the Labour Party’s Blair-led government and its readiness to go war-mongering in Iraq. There was nothing mysterious about the switch away from the Labour party in 2019 either. Those northern towns voted to leave the EU by large majorities, but the parliamentary Labour party decided they should be forced to vote again, until they gave the answer it wanted.
