As you can see, I have stated chapter and verse of seminal, indisputable FACTS, ALL of which have been ignored.
Obviously the old saying:"THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT ( REFUSE TO ) SEE.", is true to this day.
If want shock them look at the bizarre rapid and rabid pro-Russia reaction to an article about the Russians embracing an American pedophile.

YIKES!
Since these are rarely followed and they are rules “no personal
Attacks or profanity “ are not follow do and I have been told not to ping or even respond to many of you, etiquette is humorous
As to your point about Biden, you comment is a great example of what is wrong here and in my country
All or nothing
Are you familiar with the PACT act? It is legislation that has changed many diseases veterans have to presumptive, agent orange, burn pits, open sewage ponds to name a few. Many Vietnam vets who denied care with claims of agent orange exposure now are covered to name just one
So with your “logic” I should oppose this legislation because Biden signed it.
And yes I am quite aware what a horrible human Biden is.
It’s long held forum etiquette not to post and promote BS fake stories too, but that’s apparently out the window.
Yep, it’s sad to see, but everything seems to be winding down these days. Nothing’s safe from the law of entropy.
But that would mean you Fox News Neocons would have nothing to talk about.
Please try reposting this tomorrow when the alcohol wears off.
Cute, comments like “alcohol wears off” is part of FR etiquette
Got ya
When I saw the statement about Ukraine being the poorest country in Europe, I decided to Google more information. It certainly seems that using the metric of local currency incomes compared with other countries Ukraine has rated lowest over a number of years. But it is more complicated than that. Certainly rampant corruption has played a serious role. For example it appears Ukranians with som extra money invest in condos. The really rich send their money overseas. See more details in this article from 2019.

It also seems things got worse after 2014. That would make sense with Russia invading the most resource rich eastern areas, and Crimea. However, below is the most interesting paragraph I read. I certainly hope that in the intervening 4 or 5 years, useful measures have been taken to improve the banking situation. There are several other interesting paragraphs about finance and banking before this one.
“The banks’ primary problem is that their biggest clients do not pay. In total, non-performing loans in the Ukrainian banking system are more than 50 percent. The reason is that Ukraine has a few hundred people who consider themselves too superior to pay, and unfortunately the Ukrainian judiciary agrees. In particular, 427 members of parliament enjoy legal immunity and probably two-thirds of them are businessmen. Others have simply very good relations with the relevant parts of the law enforcement apparatus. European elites behaved like that in the 18th century. It was only in the 19th century when the playing field was leveled that Europe started growing.”
I certainly hope that the “legal immunity” enjoyed by the “427 members of parliament” has been substantially fixed by now.
Unfortunately,that is all too true.
Posting it served NO purpose at all and frankly,it is a distraction without any saving grace to it.
I am not quite sure what you mean by “Russia wouldn’t buy into them being in there.”
I don’t know about “black sites”, but labs were there when Russia and Ukraine separated last century. Labs are always important for any country with significant farm activity with plants and animals, for both health maintenance and disease issues. What the US might have done with them since, I also don’t know.
Further down I was glad to see information about Veterans getting some help with foreign illnesses and hazards, especially as my son just retired from over 25 years in Special Forces and other extra dangerous duties. Also, last year 2 of my grandsons enlisted in the US Army so I certainly want them to get appropriate protections.
I am so sorry, I was merely trying to introduce some useful thought topics into this one that was divided between people who did not have a clue or willingness to believe real information, and those who were frustrated by that obvious stupidity or eagerness to encourage any anti Ukraine statements, no matter how logically impossible given British law regarding royal properties. Please forgive me.
We really should allow this thread to die.
This thread is a LIE about only ONE Ukrainian and the CROWN OWNED PROPERTY known as HIGHGROVE. It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the Ukraine, UK banking, corruption, nor anything else now being posted to it!
Please, please, PLEASE allow this thread to die an ignoble death as it well deserves to do.
Why would the Defense Special Weapons Agency (since renamed to something I forget at the moment) be operating 26 bio-labs for Ukrainian agriculture?
I've heard reports that Russia has published detailed information about the UKR labs, but of course it does not appear in our controlled media. It's probably in Russian media that I dare not access because of personal circumstances. If you're not me you can probably safely look for it.
Highgrove House
lol now who has been drinking, perhaps Z can dock his yachts there.
That is about as fake a story as there has been
Jon, you can do better
