I dont believe anyone anywhere is "below" me.

“Below” in this case should mean “younger”. You do not wai first to anyone younger (unless it’s a monk, royalty, etc.). You may return wai to a younger person (at a chest level) but you don’t have to - a nod and/or smile would suffice.

The same with Norway:

Also, being a horrible neighbor is not only about the border. Here’s a bit of reading on Mongolia:

Thank God I don’t have such a leader!

You have had plenty that were much worse (Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko) and your current one is heading that way too - he’s already shitting himself after overdosing on raw deer blood - it’s just a matter of a couple of years (providing he lasts that long) before they’d have to put his food in a baby bottle.

I do no support of thread derailing, so I keep my posts about topic - Dems and current situation. Why should I support your derailing of discussion? I just ignore it here. If you want to discuss Putin's face - you already know - it is free speech board. Just start new thread and maybe I will come and post.

It has already been mentioned but, apparently, it bears repeating that bring up Vovka Putin in this thread is as fair as bringing up Boeing in the thread about Russian planes. Can’t have it both ways - this ain’t a gas station parading as a country.

In reality, those who own power in the United States do not care who you "choose" - a strange Trump, Biden with dementia or some crazy Hillary.

Yeah, right - Russia is a beacon of democracy… Just another failed country with a deranged house elf for a president:

Really ? so who are people whose parents were Jewish ( ok, technically just mother )  and don't follow any religion ?. It may be substantial chunk of Israeli population not to mention other countries where Jews live. 

Hebrew for a male and Shebrew for a female, or Theybrew if they prefer they/them… JK

Israel, if they are Israeli, or American, Polish, Armenian, Zanzibari, Brazilian, Australian, etc. based on their nationality, not their current or ancestral religion, I guess.

The problem is what Israel and Palestine should be established at the same time based on the same UN decision. And Israel has been established and since first own day does everything for to suppress establishment of Palestine.

Looks like you haven't answer why Israel bombing Palestine and now trying to switch to Ukrainian conflict?

I know that, in true Russian fashion, you pick and chose arguments that fit your narrative in a given moment, but you were the one, just yesterday, comparing Israel and Palestine to Ukraine and Russia, so there…

As far as the events in Gaza are concerned, I believe that the Israeli response is disproportionate. I am against Israeli policies towards Palestinians, but strongly believe in Israel’s right to exist. Stupidity and brutality of Hamas (much like that of Putin’s regime, in general) played right into Bibi’s and Likud’s right-wing ambitions. The devastating attack on October 7 all but gave them Carte Blanche to act on these ambitions. Add to that the abundance of emotions that clouds the common sense on both sides and it brings us to extended conflict that has no winners in the end.

You should be learning Chinese as Russia is already becoming their client state. Wait until they take all the territories lost to Unequal Treaties - bye bye Khabarovsk and Vladivostok - maybe they will remain it to Vladiputinsass.

Well, well... what we have now?

• Ukraine refuse to surrender also
• Russian fire failed to induce surrender (yet)
• The number of deaths (read above)

So my question is: should Russia use nukes as well?

Or:

• Palestine refuse to surrender also
• Israeli fire failed to induce surrender (yet)
• The number of deaths (read above)

Should Israel to nuke Palestine?

The Ukraine and Israel did not start the war, Japan did. The only comparison that is valid is that between Hamas and Russian government - they both use terrorist strategies and, in the process, are failing their countries and peoples.

I flew First class on Qatar a few years ago, and they had Chateau  d'Yquem! The stewardess had not heard of it and left me the bottle.....

Besides Qatar Airways, which I fly more often, Virgin Atlantic used to offer anytime dining option, at least in Upper Class. It’s been years since I’ve flown them though, as the schedules/connections changed and they were no longer convenient.

As for the “bottle service”, on South African airways about a decade ago, not only the flight attended let my companion and me sample a few bottles of South African wines (it was a long flight) she gave me several of them that I liked the best to go after we landed. I ended up visiting the winery in the Capetown area afterwords to refill my stock.

On the basis of per head of population, Armenia, Latvia and Ukraine lost a fraction more but Belarus suffered by far the most. The other 10 Soviet states suffered considerably less than Russia.

Nice going: How is it that 16.3% of Ukrainian deaths are just a “fraction more” than Russia’s 12.7%, while Lithuania’s 12.7% and Kazakh 10.7% are “considerably less”?

Armenia has banned Russian imports and would arrest Putin if he entered the country.

I would love to see Armenia try and arrest Putin! This is just a rhetoric from populist Armenian politicians annoyed at Russia’s unwillingness to enact the Article 4 of the CSTO (of which Armenia is a founding member) and stop Azerbaijan’s actions in Artsakh or Nagorno-Karabakh. It’s like listening to Russian politicians blackmailing the World with threats of nuclear winter.

So are Lithuania and Estonia. So is Finland. Yet they decided to forgo their neutrality and join the NATO. The NATO continues to intercept air incursions into the airspace of the Baltic States, where locals feel uneasy next to such irreverent a neighbor.

I thought Belarus was an ally of Russia.

So is Armenia - not in the Ukrainian war, but everywhere else. Up until Russia turned its back on them in their conflict with Azerbaijan, Armenia was probably the most loyal ally of Russia; more so than Belarus. Furthermore, Lukashenko is Putin’s ally - that does not mean that all Belorussians feel the same way.

Russia lost roughly haf the total.

Russia is made of many different ethnicities, quite a few of them have completely lost their ethnic identification since all names were “Russified” many generations ago. However, those who still identify themselves as ethnic minority within Russia claim that the death toll from much of the Russian wars (past and present) have been disproportionally affecting poorer ethnic communities.
