Um, Russia has already paid for its nuclear arsenal and Putin is insane enough to use it. We’d all best hope a group of relatively sane senior Russian generals ‘remove’ Putin from the planet before we all are.

I've highlighted below what I would like to have more information on please.

Here is the thread suitable for this content. I am really interested in your experiences.

The worst instance I’ve encountered directly was revealed by an AIDs patient I was caring for. His much older brother, a member of The Salvation Army, sold his young brother from age four to other members of The Salvation Army.

Russia may not have enough money too keep up it’s monstrous slaughter & destruction but I’m sure China will cover any deficit.

That's a possibility. I wonder how Putin would feel if he ends up being owned by China?

Interesting question I hadn’t considered. Payment in oil, gas and rare earth minerals ?

Grindy, how are your family? Didn't you say they lived in Odessa? Hope they're all safe.

grindy · 07-29-2022, 09:05 AM

They're fine.

Trollheart · 07-30-2022, 05:33 AM

Glad to hear it.

As Americans, what are your opinions on Pelosi's visit to Taiwan? In the wake of the Russian invasion, is this not just poking the bear? They feared China might intervene if they took sides (hah) in the conflict, yet here they are basically mooning them and saying go on, do your worst. Seems ****ing crazy to me. I mean, there was no need for her to go to Taiwan, and she knew it was going to rile up China, so, you know, are they trying to get us all killed?

Political posturing. I have no idea what her game is but I doubt China will suddenly invade Taiwan over it. They still don't want a war with the US.
