lol NO. I wish, but I have very very little musical ability.
Vlad is not giving up the Russian provinces, get used to it. There is nothing the West can do about it….and a lot Russia will do. Russia holds all the cards.
Vlad has already given up “Russian provinces”. In fact he never had the city Zaporizhzhia. Didn’t you know that?
Russia holds no cards. If it did Putin wouldn’t threatening nukes. That’s a sign of weakness if there ever was one.
So we can just sit back now and watch Russia’s corrupt and ill-equipped army bit by bit smashed to pieces in Ukraine.
Not before mine. Seems an adult could tolerate multiple concepts at least in the pursuit of truth.
The Trio did the best version in a pool hall setting of young studs contemplating their future.
Danny, at least you have a sense of humor 😃
The Trio recorded it shortly after the multi-talented John Stewart join the group, replacing the departed Dave Guard. John Stewart brought a new intensity to the Trio. I saw him perform several times in the 1970s, several years after he left the Trio. He used to play at a local place called the Palomino. Very talented guy. Hell of a songwriter, as well. Gone now, having died of a stroke in 2008.
Vlad’s “soldiers” are already giving them up.
The historic rout of corrupt, inept RuSSia continues unabated.
RuSSia has been able to avert some of the damage of the sanctions by selling oil to others. Back when the price of oil was sky high, that helped make money even though RuSSia offered discounts for it. Now that it is coming down, RuSSia’s income is dropping. And China is buying up RuSSian oil at huge discounts and selling it for profit. LOL! Only a corrupt, inept nation like RuSSia would let that happen.
Another unintended consequence, as the dying fish flails wildly on the rotting deck.
Yep, calling 300,000 from the reserves is absolutely going to ruin the economy in the country with the workforce of 84 million, of whom 3 million are unemployed...
The propaganda is more and more stupid every day.
The US energy sector is still there.
Go to Midland Texas any day and you will see in real life how busy they are.
Those deep oil wells have been producing numbers that are extremely large.
Xi-O’Biden has deliberately done everything in his power to destroy our US economy.
What he had done is literally Treason. IT MUST END NOW.
—”The propaganda is more and more stupid every day.”
YES!
And you continue to post more of the same.
Clearly, no one is paying you to post such poorly written propaganda.
To impress your masters, bone up on Russian demographics.
Also, Russia has about 10 MILLION documented migrant workers plus millions of undocumented ones, they need every one of them. Because of a negative birthrate since ~1970.
I ve no idea how does your point contradicts mine.
You state....”Russia has about 10 MILLION documented migrant workers plus millions of undocumented ones, they need every one of them. Because of a negative birthrate since ~1970.”....
Sounds like the same often being said about Our country....so that’s really nothing unusual for all the western nations let alone Russia.
—”I ve no idea how does your point contradicts mine.”
IT IS APPARENT THAT YOU HAVE FEW IF ANY IDEAS ABOUT MUCH OF ANYTHING.
SIMPLY A SKIP-OVER.
“Go to Midland Texas any day and you will see in real life how busy they are.”
I have family in Odessa. The Permian Basin is still alive and well. And the shale oil element of energy development and production is starting to get a second look after it became obvious that the Biden attack on the fossil fuel industry has been disastrous. However, the Keystone XL Pipeline permit was revoked by Biden the day he took office, and it was not reinstated. Thus, the entire project has been cancelled. Biden also blocked drilling and suspended leases in Alaska’s ANWR. Moreover, Biden’s assault on natural gas has put the US behind the proverbial 8-ball.
You’re right: What Biden did to the US energy industry is literally treasonous, especially given the current state of the world, as it seriously degrades US security.
—”Sounds like the same often being said about Our country....so that’s really nothing unusual for all the western nations let alone Russia.”
Russia has a serious population problem and they are well aware of it. Nothing new.
Some say demography is destiny.
Slight differences become huge over time.
And Russia has been going down for ~ 50 years.

In the unlikely event, you wanted to read about Russian demographics...

What has mattered, Raksha says, are three other factors: the continuing trend among Russians to have fewer children; the government’s reduction in pro-natalist policies, or even their outright cancellation given financial exigencies; and fears among many Russians about the future given economic problems and the war. Not only are these driving down the fertility rate to lows not seen in peacetime before, but they are also combining to reduce the future number of women who might bear children in the future, thus limiting the ability of the country to escape these problems. The number in this cohort is now declining at a rate of 3 percent annually.
—”Another unintended consequence, as the dying fish flails wildly on the rotting deck.”
TRUE!
And this fish is poison to the touch, even to its own kind.
He is a Quisling or Benedict Arnold or Klaus Fuchs or John Cairncross, or Kim Philby or Guy Burgess or Donald Maclean or Anthony Blunt.
Most of them were Communists. First 2 were not that I know of.
There are more. But point? Betraying your country during War is a unforgivable crime.
“But point? Betraying your country during War is a unforgivable crime.”
Betraying one’s country at ANYTIME, but especially during time of war, is unforgivable.
The penalty is justified.
