Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
Joshua Myers432 said:Oh, take it easy now. I wouldn't want you humanists and freedom-lovers to miss out on your annual ski trip; that would be a massive sacrifice. 😁

Realistically, intelligent people weigh the consequences before making a move. But since common sense hasn't resided in Europe for quite some time, this whole mess is just the inevitable result.

You basically just summarized everything in three lines.

Joshua Myers432 said:Sloboda is priceless! We'll sacrifice our seniors for freedom—not even ours, but Ukraine's.🙂

Pure sarcasm 👍 unlike those people here who actually believe this nonsense is reality. 🤮

boldbison40 said:Gas prices are skyrocketing, for crying out loud. Russian production in dozens of sectors has plummeted anywhere from 50 to 95 percent.

Besides, you really need to pull yourself together and get a grip.

Come on, stick to football if you're going to be this dense.

Can't you see that everything, including fuel, just went straight up in smoke?
Wages haven't moved, and for heaven's sake, pensions haven't budged either; they're exactly where they used to be.
People living on minimum wage or tiny pensions already had to be magicians just to make ends meet back in the day; ask them how much harder it's become now.

To hell with these sanctions. 🤮

You have to be truly slow not to see this...

Every single day, you watch the price of everything just skyrocket.

The Europeans are being completely clueless, and we fell right into the same trap by following their lead.
How exactly are people living on minimum wage or those tiny Social Security checks here supposed to survive these "sanctions"?

Donna Harris11 said:Viktor Orbán was right once again.

The guy is basically a Nobel laureate for being an absolute clown—just a total joke along the lines of those other high-profile hacks you see on the news all the time.

It feels like the US used Ukraine to completely screw over the EU. And honestly, who's actually running the show in America? It definitely isn't Brendon Pampers.

amen

Bad news for the West, as the ‘Chinese model’ becomes the most desirable: ‘Forget democracy, just feed us!‘

Bryan Booth82 said:Sure, but there is a massive, fundamental difference between an economy built solely on selling raw materials and fuel, and one built on processing those materials using energy.
I shouldn't even have to point out that the latter always walks away with the lion's share of the profit, while the former remains perpetually dependent.
Ebiga, it comes down to simple math: higher margins and much greater value creation.
Russian gas or oil will never be worth nearly as much as a precision machine built in Germany.
Best regards.

Just look at Libya. During the 90s and early 2000s, they were one of the most prosperous nations, all thanks to oil. And that massive irrigation project, the Great Man-Made River, is practically a global wonder. 🙏A friend of mine actually worked on that project and was pulling in four or five times the salary he'd ever make here in the States.

Keep in mind, their recent agenda involved moving away from the US dollar and introducing a unified African currency to finally cut ties with the French central bank for good. When the West realized they weren't going to have that kind of control anymore, things went south fast. They called their intervention "promoting democracy," but in reality, they just triggered a civil war that left Libya in total misery, setting the country back two centuries. 🤮

Canada: We’re bringing the Nord Stream 1 turbines back online, and frankly, the Germans are going to find themselves shivering without that gas supply...

I’m not just saying this for the sake of hearing my own voice, but honestly, this really is one of the most entertaining corners of Foruma.hr... 🎉

It is honestly pathetic how these clowns act, especially within Europe.
You talk big about sanctions just to end up folding and giving him exactly what he wants. 🤦

Canada relents

Canada is set to approve the lifting of sanctions regarding the return of repaired Russian turbines to Germany, which are essential for keeping the Nord Stream 1 pipeline operational, according to an announcement from the Canadian Minister of Natural Resources.

Jeffrey Brooks2 said:Where have you been hiding? Now that we're back to a normal schedule, you're complaining about having two races in one weekend. 😁

Exactly.

If we actually got a three-week break during the summer, I’d be begging for more. I can't stand waiting around.

I remember escaping my own local chaos just so I could watch a race in peace. And look what happened—honestly, it feels like my passion for F1 wasn't even real; it was just a temporary distraction before moving on to basketball and BMX.
What is going on? It feels like there is a race happening every single week lately.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Part 5 in War in Ukraine ·
cosmicgull52 said:Dmitry Medvedev is absolutely livid. He fails to grasp who would ever dare threaten a nuclear superpower with prosecution for aggression and war crimes. No one, Dima... you and your criminal organization will be the ones on trial, assuming you’re even lucky enough to survive a regime change. 😍

Spoiler: You won't.

You want to know when they'll face justice? When Obama, Clinton, and Bush do... which is to say, never.

I’ve been reading that some of the smaller gas stations across the US are shutting down, leaving people stranded without diesel.

George Robinson43 said:No worries at all, old man.
If we start implementing odd-even rationing and gas vouchers plus electricity cuts, everything will be just wonderful.
Just as wonderful as you’ve spent years telling us things used to be back in your home country.

Are you seriously talking about this crisis?

The price of oil in North America quadrupled within Months , service stations ran out of fuel and Long lines of gasoline-starved Drivers were Common sites across The continent.

It seems the impact wasn't selective based on how organized a country was; it hit everyone in order. In Germany, they had weekend driving bans, while here we dealt with odd-even days... and so on.

Anthony Baker84 said:these cars basically turn into low-flying aircraft once they flip over

It’s simple physics, really. If you have them right-side up, they grip the track. But once they flip, they lose all that downforce and just start flying😉

Thomas Lopez51 said:That new camera angle behind the pedals on Lando Norris’s car is fantastic.

It would be even better if they included the clutch and gear shifter right next to the gas and brake.

Then we'd actually have a full symphony orchestra; right now, it just sounds like a single flute.😉
