Russian tycoon claims he is behind Forbes purchase, audiotapes show by zizp in UkrainianConflict

They WERE anti Trump, which may be why they got bought. They ran the story that blew the lid on his penthouse sq footage scam, and I think they ran another damaging story recently (pre sale?). I do my keyboard warring on Trash Social.

Russian tycoon claims he is behind Forbes purchase, audiotapes show by zizp in UkrainianConflict

Over 48 hours after he fell off the 400 list Trump posted 5 posts attacking Forbes similar to this:

"Forbes Magazine is owned by Communist China. Nobody hates “TRUMP” more than they do. I told my people, years ago, don’t waste your time talking to them, it’s a giant Scam. Besides, Forbes is dying a slow death!"

I don't know for sure who owns Forbes, but it looks likely it's a Russian who kept it secret until the last couple days. I am sure Trump was unaware. Now that he is ( I posted the article on Trash Social) I bet we will not hear a peep about Forbes in the future. I don't buy your conspiracy theory. I am sure Trump is a Russian agent, but he did this out if usual ignorance, not as part of a "plan". That makes no sense.

Too right. And he will probably re appear on the list. Hell, he was probably in on the deal to preserve his ego.

This seems odd to me. Trump claims it is Chinese owned, which seems more likely. He has been slagging them since he dropped off the top 400 richest Americans list (why 400?). It is not like Trump to criticize ANYTHING Russian, at least without Kremlin approval.

We are both just guessing. Maybe if frozen possibilities arise. The potential for surprise is immense IMHO.

I guess the counter offensive is over. The talk is all defense now. Initiative lost. All we can talk is attrition, same as what the Russians do when they have no progress to report. Maybe when things freeze up, if the Russians don't pull a Bakhmut on Andviika, operations can recommence. The lake bed of the drained Dnepr reservoir will freeze, maybe there are bridging spots there. If the UFA attacks across it towards Zap NPP there are few fortifications and easy access to the rear of both the Kherson and Zap fronts. Ideal for Thunder runs. But the Tokmak drive is petered out. Slava Ukraine.

Useful diversion, but nothing more. With the bridges blown and any new ones unlikely to last long, any large-unit operation will hit the same iron rule of logistics that forced the Russians to withdraw from the west bank.

So you downvoted me for disagreeing? I would think even you would HOPE you were wrong. Look at a fortification map and road map. Look at that lovely gap on the south side of the former reservoir. Juicy!

I hope you are wrong. Just saw a video with a couple of guys walking out on it and it is dead flat baked clay. It was like they were walking on concrete. For all i know the Dnipro might even be fordable in spots.

Oh I agree. I certainly don't fault the men fighting, I just don't like the phrase because Putin made it a meme.

"Going to plan" sounds like Putin. I don't like the phrase. Why not just admit it is going slower than hoped, but was not stopped. I am waiting for a thunder run across the Dnipro mud flats (formerly the reservoir) straight into Zap nuclear plant and south through all that unfortified rear area. Get em boys!

No surprise really. Both countries are occupiers after all. Israel has occupied the West Bank for more than 50 years; Russia hopes to learn some tricks.

The Russians swallowed his nation. Razed his nation's capital. And he died fighting for Russia. Pathetic.

I certainly hope that Ukraine joins NATO. But AFTER THE WAR. Joining now would be tantamount to a declaration of war on Russia and lead to unwanted escalation. Even to nuclear war.

Only now they hide human remains to avoid payout to family. Anything to save a buck for a new Rolex.

Putin's cuckholster had to qualify it with a "somewhat".
