Members unicorn Posted yesterday at 07:25 AM Members Posted yesterday at 07:25 AM So stupid. Instead of intimidating Poland, the bald-headed dumbo is just pissing them off. One of these days some Russian or Belarussian plane will stray into Polish airspace on its way to Kaliningrad, and I hope the Poles shoot the plane down, just like the Turks did. He's already pissed off Lithuania. Now, the smooth-headed idiot pissed off the other country Kaliningrad borders. Quote
Moses Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM 2 hours ago, unicorn said: So stupid. Agree. It is stupid to accuse Russia by British habit "highly likely" without any proof. Two months ago, Western propaganda media were already screaming at the top of their lungs about 19 "Russian drones." In the end, the only damage that occurred was caused by a NATO aircraft, and not a shred of evidence was found that these were Russian drones or a Ukrainian provocation. Now, when the Minditchgate scandal is raging in Ukraine, when Zelenskyy's friend and closest ally fled Ukraine for Israel to avoid arrest for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in Western aid, when Ukrainian National Security Council Secretary Umerov, also the former Minister of Defense of Ukraine, has been "traveling on business trips" in the Middle East and Europe for two weeks now, avoiding returning to Ukraine where he faces charges of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars through cashbacks while placing weapons orders, zelenskiy and Ursula personally desperately need some distracting news. And the bottom line is that we will once again be left with British "highly likely" and without a single piece of evidence. PeterRS 1 Quote

By the way: today "A huge corruption scandal threatens Ukraine’s government" https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/11/17/a-huge-corruption-scandal-threatens-ukraines-government All parties besides party of Zelensky today blocked work of parliament and demand resignation of government. Also resignation of "right hand" of Zelensky - Yermak, head of Zelensky's administration. If they will get it, then days of Zelensky as a president of Ukraine will be counted. PeterRS 1 Quote

You imply that Ukraine was behind this, when your own reference states the exact opposite. This is a direct translation of the Polish article (for some reason, you foolishly believed none of the readers had the technology to translate Polish??): "Two Ukrainian citizens collaborating with Russian intelligence are responsible for the recent acts of sabotage on the railway, Prime Minister Donald Tusk told the Sejm. He added that the men fled Poland through the border crossing in Terespol... Donald Tusk announced that both Ukrainians identified as saboteurs reached Poland from Belarus. One of them was convicted by a court in Lviv in May for acts of sabotage in Ukraine. The other, a native of Donbas, previously worked in the prosecutor's office... Referring to the details of the acts of sabotage, the Prime Minister said that a steel clamp attached to the tracks near the Puławy station was intended to cause the train to derail... The driver did not even notice the incident while passing through the place , he said... The Prime Minister emphasized that the Russians are interested in fueling chaos, panic, and speculation...". Incidentally, by calling those from Donbas Ukrainians (which they are), you're agreeing that Russian claims to sovereignty in that region are bogus (though presumably those from Donbas speak Russian rather than Ukrainian). It wouldn't surprise me if Poland's next step will be to fully close the border between Poland and Belarus. PeterRS 1 Quote

Members unicorn Posted 19 hours ago Members Posted 19 hours ago Dude, in English, a citizen of Ukraine is called a Ukrainian. If you're a citizen of Russia, you're Russian--even if you have dual citizenship. Quote
Moses Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Dude, that's your problem. English is poor for nuances. While you visiting Ukraine, be careful with that. If you will call "Ukrainian" (in means of ethnicity) Tatar, Russian or Moldovan with Ukrainian passport, you will get huge problem. Quote

The same sort of problem an Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman and Northern Irishman experience in the United Kingdom? As a Scot, I do not like being called an Englishman, but I am perfectly happy being called a citizen of the United Kingdom. Quote

I always wondered about the meaning of Brit and how to properly use it. Quote

The naming of the entire area is interesting. Constituent countries are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. England and Wales have the same legal system. Scotland has a separate legal system. They were, after all, a separate Country. Also Northern Ireland. There is no such thing as British law. England, Wales, and Scotland make up 'Great Britain'. The United Kingdom also includes Northern Ireland, hence 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ', or the UK, for short. So, in theory, a Brit can come from England, Wales or Scotland, but not Northern Ireland! kokopelli3 and BjornAgain 1 1 Quote

Moses Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Finally, information about high-level corruption scandal in Ukraine - "Mindich-gate" - translated to English https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/19/ukraine-energy-sector-corruption-crisis Right now ongoing next one scandal - about corruption in Ukrainian ministry of defense with kickbacks for weaponry orders. You'll get it in 2-3 days as usual. Meanwhile Ukrainian parliament is blocked by parties other than Zelenskiy's party. They demand resignation of govt and many call for resignation of Zelenskiy and for forming "Government of National Salvation" without Zelenskiy and his party. 4+ hours of parliament session (Ukrainian language) Quote

Moses Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago 7 minutes ago, vinapu said: that's the difference between Ukraine and Russia. it is installed by Western propaganda "urban legend" for to make Ukraine to look "democratic"... by fact Ukraine and Russia are the same... Have you seen NABU (anticorruption burau) in the news? Zelenskiy made 2 efforts already for to dissolve it. Last time - in August'25: all detectives and prosecutors from NABU were arrested in August by Ukrainian secret service (I think at that time Zelenskiy got information who's voices are on NABU's tapes). Only fast intervention of EU stopped it - EU just immediately switched off all money supply lines. And after 5 days NABU again has been restored. So, thisу current scandals are going not because UA is democratic country, but because EU forced current situation against Zelenskiy's will. Quote
