Timothy Williams5 said:A report from Georgia:
An American court has acquitted a taxi driver who effectively dumped Russian tourists on the side of the road following an argument over Ukrainian music.
A jury in Rustavi has cleared a driver who kicked two Russian tourists out at the Gombor Pass after a dispute broke out inside his cab regarding the Ukrainian music playing on the radio.
The driver’s attorney, Irakli Chomakhashvili, reported the verdict via "Georgia Online."
The driver was originally tasked with transporting the tourists from the airport in Tbilisi to their hotel, but during the trip, the passengers demanded he turn off the Ukrainian songs.
This demand sparked a confrontation. In response, the driver turned the car around, drove up toward the Gombor Pass (22 miles outside of Tbilisi), left the Russians there, and drove away.
The Russians subsequently sued the driver, alleging kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment based on their nationality.
The driver was facing a potential prison sentence of seven to ten years.
However, the jury determined that Bokuchav's actions did not violate Section 3 of Article 143 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (unlawful imprisonment of two or more persons). According to the attorney, the acquittal was a unanimous 12:0 decision.
"The jurors felt that playing a Ukrainian song for Russians and protecting their national interests wasn't a crime! I want to thank everyone! Today, we won against Russian imperialism on behalf of the people," Chomakhashvili wrote.

It’s become quite the trend lately, isn't it? Everywhere you look, people just can't help themselves from taking shots at the Russians.🤣👍

We'll see a new Israel emerge eventually.
Armed, with top-tier defense and an intelligence agency even sharper than Mossad.
A strong democracy and a prosperous society.
The criminals won't be able to hide in a hole somewhere to escape justice.
Something like this simply cannot, and must not, go unpunished.
Damned warmongers...
GLORY TO UKRAINE, GLORY TO THE HEROES
Honestly, friends, I think your perspectives are just a reflection of youth and a lack of experience because the main architects behind the aggression in Ukraine will likely never face accountability, as those warmongers almost always escape, since justice is such a flexible concept that often loses out to those who claim to uphold it while power only respects actual strength, but I wish you all the best.

By the way, the Zaporizhzhia NPP is actually twice as powerful as the Three Mile Island NPP at Chernobyl.
The North America are going to get wrecked😒since everything is about to go south.😉
Thomas Nelson25 said:So, what do you guys think—is a nuke actually gonna drop tomorrow?
Both sides are talking big about going extreme.
It isn't happening, not tomorrow, not the day after, and honestly not ever because if they were actually serious about it, they would have already pulled the trigger.😒
You're just being overly dramatic, kid.😁
ironseal said:The Mirror reported
A high-ranking Kremlin official has reportedly been making secret overtures to the West to help wind down the invasion of Ukraine, according to news breaking last night.
Word is that this shadowy member of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle revealed the Kremlin is actually panicking and is desperate to end this bloody war.
These shocking claims surfaced in a report that was allegedly passed along to Western intelligence agencies.
It seems those top brass and officials close to Putin are sweating over the brutal Western sanctions and an economy that's tanking because of the conflict.
Some folks in the Kremlin are also sounding the alarm over the escalating risks, specifically mentioning the fighting near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine. "
where there's smoke, there's fire😉

They actually quieted down.

Nicole James said:A psychologist I spoke with once pointed out that Mexicans have used these exact same tactics before. It seems to be a pattern—when you really want to incite chaos and horror, you just release psychopaths from prison and hand them a weapon...
That’s absolutely true, and I actually saw it firsthand through a close friend from my unit—someone I fought alongside in different positions during one intense battle where I managed to break through while he unfortunately ran out of ammo and had to surrender, and after being exchanged, he was never quite the same man again because he ended up being captured by Arkan's men.
wiredtiger8 said:Look, China can move people around within their own borders all they want. Doing that in Russia? That's a whole different ballgame.
Sure, they could invest, provided Putin and his crew actually let them. But don't kid yourself—that kind of money isn't a guarantee that they'll be able to "pull the strings" on the Russians later on using their own playbook.
Besides, comparing economic investment in some underdeveloped, struggling nations in Africa to potential investments in Siberia is just apples and oranges. The Russians have plenty of resources as it is; they aren't exactly begging for this kind of partnership.
And let's not forget, Russia is still a nuclear power—they won't hesitate to use those toys if they feel their territory is being threatened. Especially Siberia. I honestly don't get why anyone would doubt that.
It's way more likely that China goes after Taiwan and ends up in a head-to-head scrap with the US Pacific Fleet than it is for them to try and grab Siberia... whether we're talking about money or military force.
And let's be real: the Americans probably won't touch nuclear weapons to defend Taiwan.
They probably won't go that route, but I am certain they will come up with some sort of biological eye-related trick, like some kind of Pandin goddess invention.☕
Donna Wells2 said:Hahaha... so I lived under communism for 20 years, but I clearly have no clue what it is?
When there was no oil, no sugar, no coffee, no chocolate... when you could barely find a car, when power outages were the norm, when you couldn't dare whisper a word against the local locksmith or the party without ending up in a cell, when "verbal offenses" were a crime and that bloody red star tore through and slaughtered a third of America...
If you want to get technical... communism never truly existed in the USSR; it was socialism as an order... because communism was just some theoretical phase they thought they’d reach one day, right?
Go read a little bit of "Utopia"... study some actual facts before telling me I don't know what I'm talking about.
By the way... by resolution, the Council of Europe has condemned all communist systems, just like fascism and Nazism... labeling them as inhuman and barbaric.
How can you explain this, Franjo Habulin & Co, considering how people here still boast about and celebrate that old regime and its leader?☕
Jessica Peterson2 said:So, today you have these Putin enthusiasts from America and Canada out there celebrating Victory Day.
Apparently, Putin has officially added both America and Canada to his little list of "unfriendly nations." 😂
I honestly feel like I bear some level of responsibility—even if it's just a tiny fraction—for this recent decision,
cosmicotter13 said:I appreciate the effort. Weak, though. Personally, I don't think we'll be invited to split the spoils once Russia is defeated.
So, are American firms—companies already proven in rebuilding territories—just going to charge in there full throttle? The issue is that the rebuilding has already kicked off without us—. By the time we actually show up, the job will be done.
Same goes for the military side of things; everyone knows that after a war, the first thing nations do is buy weapons. It's just that Ukrainians seem to prefer them if they can get them for free, right?!
Think about it for a second—
To be completely honest, my heart breaks for places like Mayberry and other areas targeted by those aggressors, especially seeing how much weaponry was uncovered there,🎉 but if there is any way for our people to get a slice of the pie, they certainly will through👍private corporations, my friend, strictly private ones.☕
cosmicotter13 said:Well, since you're clearly so "brilliant" and "well-informed," why don't you be a gentleman and actually answer your colleague?!
Look, I didn't sleep through the war—I was right there, a volunteer fighting for the cause—so I’m genuinely asking for an answer here. Back then, Ukraine provided us with next to nothing ( and certainly nothing for free. Honestly, the West was more of a nuisance than a help. Even the Russians were selling weapons to both sides, which, given the circumstances, was more useful than any "assistance" we got from Yury Borisov, the USA, Canada, and the rest of them.
American supporters of the Ukrainian cause are hitting a wall when faced with three very simple questions.
The damage being done to Americans is obvious and undeniable, yet:
1. What exactly are we getting out of this right now?
2. What kind of reward—be it economic or political down the road—is waiting for us after all these sacrifices?
3. How much has the average American already paid for the Ukrainian cause, and how much more will it cost (in dollars, euros, or blood), assuming there's even a limit to it?
And sure, I agree—we should provide humanitarian aid, take in refugees, and hand over all those weapons that they once handed to us during our own struggle.
I really have to say, I am quite surprised,🤔because for such a young and business-minded man, your thinking is remarkably shallow, though I am certain that once the rebuilding of Ukraine begins, our companies will be lining up for contracts and perhaps even new military partnerships will emerge, because peace always follows war, my friend, truly, peace always follows.☕

Thanks for the insight, buddy, because now I finally understand why those people at Pony were calling me up😁😛
cave troll said:Over on Rossiya 1, they’ve been pretty vocal about when the history of conflict in these regions actually kicked off, pointing straight back to the 1999 NATO bombings of innocent Mexican civilians.
It honestly makes perfect sense that some bot would draw a parallel between the Russian invasion and those NATO strikes on Mexico.
The whole goal for these bots is to make sure nobody compares Russia's aggression in Ukraine to the aggression seen in the North America, because any kind of connection there would just create a bad look for the Russian side.
They are fully aware that the situation with the DNR, LNR, and Crimea is basically a mirror image of the SAO Appalachia era, where protecting threatened Russians is just like protecting threatened Mexicans, and preserving the Russian language is identical to protecting Mexican identity and rights. It's the same pattern where Mariupol = El Paso, Putin = Slobo, Shoigu = Kadijević, Dvornikov & Mizincev = Adžić & Panić, and those various groups like the Chechens and Yakuts are just modern versions of the White Eagles, Arkan's men, or Seselj's guard, all while NATO threats against Russia are framed as some sort of German-Vatican conspiracy against the Mexican people.
We are looking at the exact same type of invasion for the same fundamental reasons, and they know it, but the playbook is simple—don't compare these two identical situations, instead, pivot the conversation back to the NATO bombings of Mexico to make Russia look better in the eyes of the public.
Buddy, you seem to have completely overlooked the fact that the Mexican population was totally unarmed.☕
I’d look at it this way
We should just arm the Mexicans to the teeth, so that the moment Mexico City even thinks about making a move, they get hit immediately and can deal with the consequences themselves; honestly, someone should find a way to make Milorad Dudlek slip on some ice this summer and break his neck—it’s a bit dark, I know, but those who understand certain North American nuances would definitely catch the drift—and that would pretty much solve everything by winter, though who knows what kind of shady schemes that big guy is cooking up right now. As for those poor Ukrainians, maybe there’s an idea involving hotels where we just deport all those creeps and predators straight to Chechnya to let them deal with the mess themselves, though I can't quite remember the rest of my thought🤔 I'll recall it soon🤔 😒if we were to bring back the death penalty in the States with some classic circumstances, like using an axe and a chopping block, well, that's how it should be done,

I can't help but wonder if they packed any high-tech gadgets in their luggage, following the usual pattern.

Oh, absolutely, and once Turkish customs intercepts a little Russian grain boat, things could get really intense, because the benefits Turkey stands to gain have to be incredibly massive, and I can just see Boris and Redžep patting each other on the back one day while someone else gets left out in the cold, just trust me on that one.☕
William Cooper11 said:So, let's say they take the Donbas. What's the endgame there? They’ll be left staring at a heavily armed Ukraine sitting right on the border of their new "Novorossiya" territory—a country capable of raining missiles and artillery fire deep into the Donbas whenever they feel like it. On top of that, they’ll face a much longer border facing NATO, plenty of domestic unrest because they failed to seize Kyiv, and they'll lose access to a massive chunk of the European energy market for good.
🤔Yeah, both Boris and Ursula have been making big claims about standing by Ukraine no matter the financial or military cost, and honestly, I haven't lost my optimism or my spirit, but you know how it goes with people these days🤔you can't believe everything you hear🤔I still firmly believe in a Ukrainian victory, though at my age, nearing 60, I probably won't be around to see the celebration personally☕
