The us spent over 2 trillion on Afghanistan so that number is either wrong or comparing something else. My guess is it’s dividing by years (2 trillion/20=100 billion).

This is probably one of those situations where actions will speak much louder than words, China…

they're like flies, or worse, mosquitoes

5 bucks they gave her the megaphone didn’t say a word just for the photo

You say that, but an entire spy ring got caught because they'd use consecutive passport numbers: https://thedebrief.org/russian-spy-successfully-infiltrated-nato-command-circles-reveals-stunning-report/

> Critically, Bellingcat and The Insider also exposed a massive GRU counterintelligence failure in that agency had been issuing consecutively numbered passports to its undercover spies. This meant that investigative journalists, foreign security agencies, or anyone for that matter, could acquire data frequently leaked onto Russia’s black market to uncover other embedded spies.

So it can be valuable, even when it's all fake

That's because it would increase energy prices.

I dunno about Australia but a donk in these parts is a 71-76 impala.

I’ve read in military nerd forums about it because I’ve been confused by mixed claims. as I understand it, the city is not itself strategic for logistics or rail or anything. But it is important for Russia to take it to be able to take more important cities like kramatorsk and Sloviansk.

Double weird from an Aussie who lived though 2 years of the world's longest and most severe lockdowns, then a switch flipped somewhere and it's like the virus never existed.

Serbia was not a nuclear power.

Who they are and false passports? :) I agree that they use fake passports, but other than the basics, like height and gender, nothing else is real on the fake passports? Photos are nice, but they aren't searchable (without access to Russian databases, or previous encounters with foreign intelligence).

You miss the point though that they can simply leave the CFA and have all that control

Seriously

If Zelensky saying this, it must be really close to take all of lost land back. He is one of the greatest leader and smartest mind of our time. We should hear some good news soon.

Alot of westerners don't get this tricky language they use.

Not that weird at all. Speaking only for myself, but I was much less eager to travel or go out when I had to wear a mask for it.

A pyrrhic victory is still a victory

China gives aid to Sha-Sha under the guise of 'security'. Aid somehow lands in Russias hands. Calling it.

Bakhmut being little strategic is the most braindead propaganda I've read this year. Zelensky vowed to protect it, urged the West to send more weapons and quickly so they could defend it. Half of the reports of how fierce and hellish the war is being fought were on it. And people still go around saying "oh that city is not important".

What?

How is it possible that the eu banned them for farm animals then?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

> More than 21 million people in Yemen, or two-thirds of the country's population, need help and protection, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, or OCHA, which says the humanitarian needs in Yemen are "Shocking." Among those in need, more than 17 million are considered particularly vulnerable.

Well, it's green.

Wasn't Togo a German colony that was split between Uk and France after the war?

He's just the cook.

He is weirdo with a massive ego. I wouldn't say he is idiot, he is serving his own interests. He once said france should stop keeping nukes, that there was no need and it was to expensive to maintain. He was for dismentelment of our nuclear facilities, maybe in favor of russian gaz ? Hight enery cost in europe, he play his part of it with half of our power plan shut down for "maintenance" right when the war started. We used to sell cheap electricity to Eu, now we need to import it from coal :) Lots of Eu politicians are bribe by russian gaz lobby. He is somewhat friend with putin, they went in holiday together before the war. Russians are buying some key nuclear maintenance companies in France. There is so much stuff going on that the news are not covering, this will probably start a few scandales when he stop been president.
