4 #2 "Borsht" is Ukrainian. Shchi is Russian.

p.s. The Telegraph: Patriots should not fight for the British state
Some of those refusing are Leftists, but an increasing number of those on the Right, especially the young, believe that to obey the British state is to act against the interests of the British people.

9 Time to go short Rheinmetall shares in due time. Time to just short Europe (EU) in due time.

von der Leyen and Kallas...funnier than Laurel and Hardy.

10 If the West meets Russian conditions, they will not need a military operation.

11 Yes, that is a very big "if". How can there ever by any respect or, more importantly, trust after all this shit?

12 Speaking of shorting Europe...

The Trump administration has delivered a major blow to UK-US relations by suspending a massive $40 billion Tech Prosperity Deal, citing Britain’s aggressive censorship regime as a direct threat to American tech giants and their ability to operate freely.

13 Hmm who do we trust more... Putin or Starmer or Mertz or Macron or that EU bimbo?

Let them start another WW, and see who, if anyone, shows up.

14 Londonistan and the greater Perfidious Albion at their best. The 450000+ souls resting at Manchester South, would not recognize their homeland.
