Most of the protestors are activists to begin with. It didn't achieve much. The same ones were protesting about abortion rights 2 months ago.
Well, of course RR had more jobs. You think we should elect leaders only over 70? Trump was never in politics before he was Prez. That made him a bad Prez?
"Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deepening his country’s military support for Ukraine while keeping an open line of communication to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin—a relationship that helped keep Ukrainian grain exports flowing this week—as he tries to expand Turkey’s role as a regional power broker.
In recent months, Turkey’s most prominent weapons maker, Baykar, has broken ground on a new factory in Kyiv that will double its capacity to produce armed drones. Last month, Turkey delivered a new corvette to the Ukrainian navy in a ceremony attended by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and first lady Olena Zelensky. The Milgem-class ship is now the largest in the Ukrainian fleet, which is expanding to challenge Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea and showing Turkey’s growing influence.
Turkey also supplied the bulletproof vest worn by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with body armor and military vehicles for Ukrainian forces. And when Mr. Putin threatened to reimpose a blockade on Ukraine’s grain exports through the Black Sea, Mr. Erdogan interceded to keep the crucial shipments flowing and tamp down a surge in global food prices."

Ukraine War Gives Turkey’s Erdogan Opportunity to Extend His Influence
From arming Ukraine with drones to expanding trade with Russia, the Turkish leader is playing a pivotal role in the Black Sea region as the war progresses.

So all the crap of about 70% of U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine going elsewhere is just that:
"The Biden administration’s efforts to check on the billions of dollars of weapons sent to Ukraine, though limited in scope, haven’t found any evidence of large-scale malfeasance, U.S. officials say.
For the past two months, a small team from the Department of Defense has been on the ground inside Ukraine conducting inspections. The group, based at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, has so far been able to check only a small amount of the more than $18 billion of arms provided to the Ukrainians, U.S. officials said.
While there have been unverified reports of weaponry falling into the wrong hands or leaving Ukraine, U.S. officials said the Ukrainians have been aggressively tracking American-provided equipment. The lack of extensive U.S. checks is because there has been no evidence that the arms are being diverted, they said.
Those officials said U.S. personnel have only inspected about 10% of the weapons sent to Ukraine."

That's not who the Europeans protesting are... quit talking out of your arse.
Even if that is what it claims, one soldier doesn't define anything more than himself. As for azgeopolitics, they've proven themselves to be propagandists. Btw, didn't your beloved Jeffrey Sachs claim the US blew up Nordstream?
The people you follow are hilarious and then you're arrogant about what you know. Bwahahahaha
Sorry, just reading articles from Italy. You're wrong as usual.
They're in cahoots...wait for it.So all the crap of about 70% of U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine going elsewhere is just that:

The Europeans protesting your warlust are doing so primarily for economic reasons... they are middle class people bearing the brunt of this.
Not whatever group or political ideology de jureyou can just dismiss so you don't have to thik more critically
It has nothing to do with "following" anyone. That's not what this is about.
There's a group of posters who want it banned... probably finally succeeded
I guess it's easier to kick and scream about it than to just ignore it.
Yes, and that's not incidental... the anti-war perspective, irrespective of incentives, is the sane one.
He can't, aside from a meme or something someone posted on FB or a forum somewhere. All the crap about Zelenksky being worth hundreds of millions or over a billion is just that, crap.

That might be the best way I have ever heard someone say that an investigation turned up malfeasance -

The Netherlands ends sanctions on Russia without EU approval. They have concluded they can't make it through winter without more gas and they are going to get it cheaper than the rest of the EU.
I thought you've said no discussions were happening. It does appear Russia isn't interested which is what we've tried to tell you.
Again, no link. Just an inaccurate statement with no support. The Netherlands hasn't ended sanctions on Russia. They have granted waivers in certain instances, which happens with any set of sanctions. Nothing is airtight in a global economy.
This doesn’t directly support his post but it’s western media contradicting the ongoing narrative of the real economic impact on Russia as well as leverage Russia still possesses.
Russia's liquefied natural gas exports are near a record high, as the realities of a harsh winter eat away at countries' promises to curb their dependence on Moscow
In the first nine months of 2022, LNG shipments from Russia to the EU rose by 46% to about about 16.5 billion cubic meters from a year ago, Politico reported on Sunday, citing data from the Europe Commission.
That's why it's "news;" there are indeed back channel communications. Which is a good thing as it helps prevent accidental WW3.
YHeah, I read that in the media too.
