From some point MoD does have very strong points to backup these demands.
Our military and national guard are doing also search and rescue duties in case of emergency...
MoF reported that GDP growth in 2022 th was ~1,8% and revenue service reported that income from tax was ~2,5% higher than had been predicted...

Now will be super huge fight about budget....
Parliament already in 2019 th had approwed budget for military more than 2% of GDP and proposal to increase this with each next year...
 
The most huge claim why parliament should increase military budget for MoD is how we are using military transport.
We are using them to transport patients in emergency cases....
Like if you need to get someone from ship in sea to hospital ASAP or from some hospital to larger better specialised hospital ASAP or to rescue ppl from flood area and if military is nearest and fastest possible option.
They always are doing this job quickly and never had refused....
 
Great video. This guy also predicted they would invade Ukraine and the exact year it would happen. He talks about how after they take Ukraine they would reposition themselves and start moving on to other countries. This is why NATO and others are taking it seriously because they understand what Russia is trying to do.


he also predicts Russians will vanish as an ethnicity by 2050 and that all their oil wells can't be maintained and will be backed up and abandoned, as if they can't use a technology from the 1950s. Pretty ridiculous exaggeration. Yes, Russia is going to go through a hard time demographically, but then so is everyone who is a Western ally, except maybe the US.
 
Brand is the kind of guy who seems intelligent because he uses big words until he has to debate someone who's actually intelligent like when Jeremy Paxman shut him down without breaking a sweat.

Not everyone is going to be right about everything all of the time. Many very smart people get shut down in debates, if they don't know how to debate. Honestly, his take was so strikingly similar to mine I felt compelled to share it, he even uses the same language I do in certain aspects. It almost felt as though he has read my posts (I know he hasn't). All of his views align with mine, and I know you guys see things differently but I think you should at least give it consideration.

Big difference is Western allies can attract talent from abroad and have technology to improve productivity via automation, even so life standards dropping in the West won't hurt the population as much as life standards dropping in Russia

You make it sound like just switching to technology from the 1950's is a simple plug and play. What's involved in making this switch? How will making that switch affect the cost of production? i.e will switching to 1950's technology make it to expensive and not worth even pumping the oil anymore?
 


Nevermind the still shot. The presenter is a former Royal Marines Commando and gives good info on tactics and what's going on.
 


I pity the person who has to pick up the pieces of Russia after Putin's gone. Putin has cut the hamstrings of Russia for DECADES to come.

I don't see how Russia recovers without giving away the store to China.
 
Some r&d department needs to make arm bands and reflecting tape that can change colors and turn off to a dark color with an app connected with bluetooth are something. I feel like a lot of Ukrainians died because that damn tape on their helmets and arms got them exposed to Russians.

Demographics doesn't matter much for civilian business at all.
Automatisation is taking it's route and capitalists obsession with young and in general dumb workforce as youth cult.... nothing more. A lot of outcome for modern culture is that people mandatory should look sexy and young if they does have communication with clients.
It isn't STEAM or STEM flowchart in it's core. It is bitches service flowchart.

STEAM is Science, technology, applied arts and medicine.
Where how your face will look doesn't matter, everything is based on pure technical skills, experience and expertise ....nothing else...
Ofc this doesn't means that someone might look like hardcore seasoned street thug...
However you can't demand sexy youngster visual image from high level experienced STEAM specialist.
While HR often are looking on guys pictures like in sex shop .....
 
Our head of State Treasury had signed money transfer order for MoD to pay for emergency transport service 199,5 m EUR worth emergency service provided by MoD in january 2023 th for civilian population. PM and president signed this bill, money will be transfered tomorrow when banking work day will be started...

Nightmare with next phasis of budget approwal will continue all february.... till final voting in parliament...

Ukraine isn't big interest today ... like this.

To approve budget we need 3 voting sessions in parliament....

These should had been sent to Ukr in summer.
Together with for example very old 1990 ies ATACM 165 km range version with 560 kg warhead.
For deNazification.

We need to help to do deNazification more than we are doing....

Thanks to God januray 2023 th EU countries vere surprisingly generous when approwed lethal aid package in Rammshtein.
 
Sadly it isn't proxy war.
All talks about fear to escalate something are lazy pro russian oriented politicians ( including POTUS Biden and Trump are pro russian oriented politicians in reality ).

Real proxy war vs Kremlin U.S had were Koraean and Vietnam war....

If Ukraine war was proxy war, regardless from useless designed for noobs in cubicles talks about nukes, ATACMS with 300 km range and modernised M60A3 tanks had been in Ukraine in july 2022 th.
+ a lot of advisors in agriculture field...

You have a fair point. This is more like a live war expo where companies like Boeing offer to demonstrate their latest weapon systems and NATO get to field test their tactical superiority over Russia for real. It's like an in vitro version of WWIII, which will have the added bonus of destroying Russia's reputation and it's military capabilities whilst killing many Ukrainians in the process.

From one point also russian weapons industry benefits from this a lot: will get more funding, old warehouses will have more free places to store new weapons etc.


Also, sorry, if Ukraine as a lot of posters here want to happen, just had surrounded....
It didn't had saved lives, russians anyway had killed these ppl with pleasure and big fun however now in comfortable mode like in party .....
This.

We had saw how cool is Russia and how lucrative idea is to surround vs ruSSia.
Winners aren't judged and mass graveyards with a lot of small kids and elderly ppl bodies will be daily norm and happiness to create for russians.... and gave them big pleasure and real fun.....
 
With all due respect from what Ive seen on this website, hes smarter than all of you. You should listen to the interview and try to absorb what hes saying. Hes dead on

Yea I just can't understand all the big words Russell brand is using in the video. It's above my pay grade. He must be in the Prometheus Society.
 
Ohh, we have big and modern society.


Regardless from reality how absolutely useless is U.N ( this org is absolutely helpless joke and even Pope afforded to tell that U.N should be reformed ).
Regardless how warm feelings a lot of politicians does have vs Russia....

All world does knows reality.
One from examples are mass graveyards in territories previously taken by ruSSia.
Exactly cos this reason is cool to de occupy some territories and to collect evidences.

Ofc toilet paper worth U.N and a lot of politicians will do nothing, still anyone will be able to see also how honest and cool are politicians, U.N and other bullshit orgs....

Interesting read.

Denys Kireyev was a Ukrainian spy hailed as a hero who saved Kyiv from Russian invaders. So why was he killed for treason?

Nine days after Russia invaded Ukraine, a prominent banker was thrown from a van in central Kyiv with a gunshot wound to the head.

Denys Kireyev, a Ukrainian, had just returned from Belarus where he had been assisting with peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

Now that Russia had troops on the ground, some Ukrainian officials looked at their colleagues and wondered whose side they were really on.

But nearly a year after Kireyev's slaying, his death is the subject of fierce debate inside Ukraine.

The man killed for being a Kremlin double agent may, in fact, have been a Ukrainian spy all along.

Ukraine's spy chief said Kireyev should be remembered as a hero whose intelligence helped to keep Kyiv from falling into Russian hands.

Ukraine security services have searched the home of one of the country's most-prominent billionaires, raided the tax office and smashed a prostitution ring run by migration officials in what the authorities called a wartime anti-corruption purge.

Key points:
The SBU says it has uncovered embezzlement of more than $1 billion
Volodymyr Zelenskyy first came to fame as the star of a sitcom on Mr Kolomoiskiy's TV station
Separate raids were carried out at the tax office, and the home of former interior minister Arsen Avakov.

The actions — which came days before a summit with the European Union — appears to reflect determination by Kyiv to demonstrate that it can be a steward of billions of dollars in Western aid and shed its reputation as one of the world's most-corrupt states.

Photos of a home raid posted on social media appeared to show tycoon Ihor Kolomoiskiy — a figure once seen as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's sponsor — dressed in a sweatsuit and looking on in the presence of an SBU security service officer at his home. Reuters could not immediately verify the images' authenticitIy.
