@elston_ No, but when you ask that very question, the suspicion of being a homo falls entirely on you. So please be mindful of your online brand, beause should people start to believe you are a homo, the consequenes be bad.
Oh, but Putin himself said it himself. In fact, he said 2 days in 2014.
You have been fooled by propaganda, and the first step for you to return to the light is to embrace Jesus into your life, and accept that you were wrong. After that, we can work together on rebuilding
@ChrisMayLA6 @H4Heights Regardless of what one thinks about taxing the strait, yes, it is definitely a card to be used during negotiations. I would do so myself.
@H4Heights @ChrisMayLA6 But you must keep in mind that israel is only defending itself. After all, their culture was almost eradicated in ww2, so they have every reason to attack anyone who threatens to bomb them out of existence, like iran has repeatedly done.
@ChrisMayLA6 The panama canal is an artificial canal, and as such it is possible to tax ships going through. The same goes for the suez canal.
So let's say Oman builds a new canal further away from Hormuz, inland, to get away from iranian rockets, then I'd say they would be allowed to tax ships.
For natural canals, international law forbids taxation.
As for a condition for peace, of course iran wants the world to hand them a golden goose on a plate. The world would be very foolish to do so.
@elston_ No, this is the truth. Russia, a country of 150 million has not been able to take ukraine for 5 years _despite_ having nukes and the enormously advanced weaponry you say.
The only thing they have is manpower, and that's it. The fact that they have not made progress proves they are not as strong as some think they are.
Soon their economy will tank, or alternatively, Putin will be killed, and then it is game over.
That's just a fact. Like the US, russia is a failing state.
@elston_ This is the truth!
@ChrisMayLA6 Tolls are a non-starter. That would mean, that every single country on the planet, who controls a stretch of sea, would have to impose tolls to counter the iran/oman tolls.
That would be economic suicide.
@freepatriot Who carries his passport around with him unless it is necessary? I don't know anyone who does.
@elston_ Zelensky should blow up the pipeline once and for all, or add a tax on all that passes that is about 200% of the value so that Ukraine benefits 2x of what russia benefits.
Russia must be crushed, swiftly, and then be humiliated like the germans after ww2, to stop russia from ever again starting a war.
@elston_ Amazing! It is of course obvious that the EU will collapse under its own weight, but I do pray that I will see the day myself.
Could this be the beginning of the end?
Hungary is fighting for our freedom, Bulgaria is now EU-skeptic as well.
Sadly, the EU will fight back hard with bribes to try and hold itself together.
Just see how wealthy Orban became taking EU money, and that is why hungary after all, remain. Too much money on the table for them.
@elston_ Is it a surprise to anyone that china wants europe and the US bound up in pointless wars? The more the US and europe fight, and the longer, the easier it will be for china to take over the rest of the world. As a bonus, their great authoritarian rival russia, is slowly being ground to dust.
It would be hilarious, after russia loses the war in ukraine, if china moved in and took over some russian border territories.
That would be the end of russia as we know it.
@TheKeystoneCollective Look no further than politicians talking about chat control. They seriously believe that physical laws and mathematics will obey political decisions. In our time and age, the utter incompetence and low quality of our leaders is both amazing and scary.
Is it systemic?
Have we painted ourselves in a corner? Does "western democracy" mean that the worst float to the top?
If so, it will take a global financial crash or a new world war to shake up the system. Sadly.
@troed Ahh.... thank you swedish government for forcing us all into the surveillance economy. Thank you for bankid, a shitty ID solution controlled by banks, that enable them to cut you off from society (if you are stupid enough to have based your life on it).
Fortunately I can still use my nokia 110 4g with Fello (on telia) until late 2027. After that, it will be VoIP for me and "bye, bye" to the concept of the cellphone.
I messed up
That LineageOS Samsung S20FE I got running was intended for one of the kids, as their first phone.
Now I know that Samsung has their own IMS that isn't compatible with AOSP and thus you cannot do voice calls in countries where VoLTE is the only option available.
Like Sweden.
Sure, this information is "known" if you're into degoogled Android phones - but I wasn't. The only way to get voice working on this hardware is to restore it back to Samsung's - no longer security updated - Android.
ffs
@CryptomaniacOz Beautiful conspiracy theory! It is not implausible and one important indication is that Orban has accepted the election result.
If Peter was not his choosen man, he would not have accepted the result or engineered his own victory.
