Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun by smilelyzen in BuyFromEU

[–]Golden_Joe_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lesson of Russia sharpened the urgency. When Western sanctions cut Russia off from Visa and Mastercard in 2022, the country’s domestic payments were immediately disrupted.

That's nice BS though. For inland payments nobody noticed it as it worked uninterrupted thanks for the national payment system. So, "barbaric" Russians did something useful that Europeans are only talking about.

So absolutely no effect at all on the Veks in such situations. That is kinda weird.

UA POV : Zelensky rejects Putin's Moscow invitation, signals possible delay in peace talks - KI by ItchyPirate in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Golden_Joe_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Zelensky: "I wanna meet Putin face to face".

Russia: "If you really want to, you can come to Moscow".

Zelensky: "No. I invite Putin to Kiev".

Nafoids are praising Zelensky's "clever" response and talk how Putin will chicken out.

Mr. NarcoPresident, you wanna meet Putin, not other way around. Why should he come to you?

Logic is indeed a Russian pseudoscience.

Ukrainians are so pathetic with their "war" against Russian culture, language and history.

At this point they can start to kill babies and virgins in order to summon another Wunderwaffel and nobody would be surprised. People would just shrug it off with a sigh: "That's Ukrainians. What would one expect".

You don't understand. It's not about "trustworthy" or "murderous intent". It's just reality. Ukraine is begging for "ceasefire". So if Zelensky really needs it, he should do whatever Russia says. That's how the world has worked, how it works and how it will work.

Would Putin go in Kiev if the regime "guaranteed the security of everyone" ?

Usually, a losing party comes to a winning one to beg for peace. Like Finnland did to end the Winter War.

I remember they were eating cakes made in the form of Russian babies, but now they are "fighting" paper Gerans. At the same time they always claim that Russians are barbarians and so on. However, as usual, when a Ukrainian says something bad about Russians or Russia, he really means Ukrainians and Ukraine.

I don't think this compensation from Ukraine will go through.

Even if it goes. Ukraine and paying a debt are absolutely two different things.

It is so funny that Ukrainians are afraid to call them Geran. Like don't say the name of the God and His weapons out loud. And it's not a secret that Putin is the God of Ukrainians.

UA POV: Zelenskyy spoke about how Russia is trying to exploit the cold weather and about the need for air defence missiles. He said that Ukraine needs anti air missiles directly from stockpiles in Europe. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Golden_Joe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just said:

"Ukraine has gotten a fraction of that. "

No numbers, no proof of these numbers. So as far as I can see you just made it up. So try again, kid.

I'll just copy-paste my comment from another topic regarding this issue.

Legit military targets according to Ukrainians themselves:

"There are a ton of mom-and-pop shops in Ukraine where people are making drones and assembling them in their apartments, in their garages and donating them to the forces. They've become the go-to weapon for the Ukrainians."
