I know exactly why NATO was involved in the Serbia situation.
It was a response to an act of aggression.
What's interesting, is that you "claim" to be some sort of "advisor" and all I have seen so far, is a spectacular performance of circular propaganda bullshit.
If you're advising anyone, I pity their waste of money and time, unless you're in the employee of Russian interests.
If that's the case, please, carry on.
Congratulations.
You have just confirmed that Russia is in breach of all acceptable international standards by trying to force sovereign nations, (such as)
and therefore that all your crap is just that - crap. Solid brown coated foul smelling crap at that.
- Ukraine (Finland, Sweden etc) not to apply for membership of NATO, and
- NATO not to accept Ukraine (and any other country Putin wants to subjugate) as a member, and for
- Ukraine to be absorbed by Russia rather than remain a sovereign nation,
I never said or stated anything else that would refute those 3 issues.
Read my posts: e.g. the very first when I mentioned the 2 options.
1.As I had mentioned already many times - anyone who has studied Putin, is fully aware about his Czarist agenda/policy. (meaning that Putin will not refrain from war options in
order to pursue his agenda).
Now keep your trap shut if all you can do is to ooze brown stuff - or switch to ignore if you can't control your comments.
I would say all dictators share that traitIt seems Putin is micromanaging the war in Ucraine
Diden''t Hitler also used to micromanage his armies?
Russian failures fuelled by Vladimir Putin’s meddling
President Putin is making low-level tactical decisions that would normally be decided by an officer in charge of as few as 700 Russian troops, western militarywww.thetimes.co.uk
sorry double postLet's tone it down with the personal attacks.
Most famously, so did Czar Nicolas II. Unlike Hitler or Putin, at least Nicolas lead from the front. But yeah, he was just as useless.It seems Putin is micromanaging the war in Ucraine

As posted on another thread, Renault has 'sold' its business in Russia for the princely sum of two roubles.
It seems Renault would rather take the hit than the bad publicity surrounding doing business in Russia.
Renault has the option of reentering the Russian market in the next six years.
The Russian government has now nationalised the Renault facilities and announced they will revive the old
Moskvitch car brand.
It may be that there will be a vehicle shortage in Russia as Renault supplied 20% of the market.
Building modern cars with the electronics required will probably be difficult which may mean a backward
step in car production (especially electronics) compared to what most would call a modern vehicle.
From revolution to devolution ?
Really? would you have an example - I would be interested in that.Most famously, so did Czar Nicolas II. Unlike Hitler or Putin, at least Nicolas lead from the front. But yeah, he was just as useless.
Basically established media published the same story as twitter (you would be amazed to know how much they feed from twitter or telegram channels), but with a significant delay and a generous use of the words "reportedly" "unconfirmed" "there is no evidence" and so on. As for later reporting it was false information, so did the twitter channels I follow (again with some advance versus established media), and I also reported those here.
As far as I know mods mission is not to apply censure on posters re their information sources, their mission is that we abide to the forum rules Terms and rules.
I don't consider either to have the right to tell others what sources they can post or not. If I think some post is false or fake or contains misleading information (and that includes established media) I say so or provide evidence its not true.
I never intentionally spread false or fake information, if that bothers you. I admit that I may have been fouled a couple of times, however most of the times you can find interesting info provided you follow people that tend to be reliable (which doesn't mean they are 100%). But the same is true with established media.
Honestly, I assume that people here are adults with brains. By making it evident that the source is twitter, which I never tried to hide since I always link to the twitter message instead of posting the vid or picture directly, I assume it is understood that the words "reportedly" and "unconfirmed" go with it. I don't think it's necessary to explicitly say that twitter info is "unconfirmed" every time someone posts from there.
Regards.
tell this to the people who start this in the first place - okay!
Who goes to McDonalds anymore? My adult children are in their early 20s and neither have ever had a Big Mac and haven't been to a McDs since we last took them for chicken nuggets in their elementary school days. McD's seems to be like Facebook, once cool, and now the purview of Gen Xrs and their aging parents. I understand that McDs is popular with African Americans, especially those in food deserts.McDonalds is now officially pulling out completely as well. It's selling off all its restaurants, and retaining its copyright.
An example of what? The Czar at the front? That's public record.Really? would you have an example - I would be interested in that.
First I thought you were referring to me only - the I saw that was not the case - so I deleted my postAre we in a Kindergarten and are you four years old?
"He started it!"
"No, he started it first!"
Did I, or did I not quote their posts as well as yours? - okay!

That he was at the front like many other Royalties - e.g. Willi and his sons (the latter actively) I am aware, but not that he led troops in the front-line - so that would be of interest to me.An example of what? The Czar at the front? That's public record.
Although the Czar had no military aptitude, he relieved the Grand Duke in September 1915 and took personal command of the world's largest army, with 16 million men mobilized--an army sprawled across the gigantic Eastern Front.
Regarding dictators I read that at the start of war Hitler let the generals do their work, however as the war started to reverse tides he started to get more and more involved in micromanaging.I would say all dictators share that trait

Why Millennials Just Aren't That Into McDonald's
Sales are falling between the big yellow arches, and fast food as we know it is turning over a new leaf as a new generation takes the wheel.www.yahoo.com
As for Russians, I wonder how many of the people would have continued to eat there now that Putin's propaganda has convinced the populace that the nation is fighting a proxy war against the US. Perhaps the restaurants themselves were at risk of protests and vandalism. It's a funny thing though that AIUI, McDonalds in Russia we're actually Canadian founded.
I'd love a link to more info on that. As far as I remember, the last British monarch was George II at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743 during the War of the Austrian Succession. On mainland Europe, Napoleon III commanded at the Battle of Sedan in 1870 but I am not familiar with any royals heads of state since then ( Junior Commander Elizabeth Windsor, alas. doesn't count for this, honorable as her service was).Most famously, so did Czar Nicolas II. Unlike Hitler or Putin, at least Nicolas lead from the front. But yeah, he was just as useless.
First I thought you were referring to me only - the I saw that was not the case - so I deleted my post
Then you brought in another statement and mine into your previous post
Now you are referring to me as a 4 year old - maybe you should check onto the content of all your post to me, and then ask yourself that question
Over and out Mr. Mod.
I think that is more of a myth - during the siege of Warsaw he already interfered, and the maybe greatest blunder in WW2, 7 month later at Dunkirk.Regarding dictators I read that at the start of war Hitler let the generals do their work, however as the war started to reverse tides he started to get more and more involved in micromanaging.
On the other hand Stalin did the reverse path, started the war micromanaging but progressively let the professionals do their work coinciding with favorable outcomes.
It seems like the amount of micromanaging is inversely proportional to how successful is the war.
Address me in a correct way (keep your kid comparisons kindly to yourself) - same goes for certain posters here, and we both don't need to pick a fight.I'm not taking sides. I am telling ALL of you to knock it off. What is so hard to understand about that? Or do you really want to do this and pick a fight??
I swear my 5 year old and 3 year old are easier.
