Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
rustywalker82 said:Look, let's be real, the Minsk agreement was basically just a way to hand over territory.
Now they’ve got total freedom to move however they want...🙏

The whole world was begging them to actually follow through on it, but honestly, nobody cared. They weren't even paying attention to the actual logic being discussed over on Reddit. 🙂

So, what you're saying is they basically brought this on themselves, right? 🙂

rustywalker82 said:Germany helped Ukraine move toward peace by mediating through the Minsk agreement.
But nothing is set in stone. If someone doesn't want peace, they aren't going to get it.

Oh, so now the Ukrainians are the ones at fault? I suppose they just decide to shell themselves and slash their own tires for fun, right, sweetheart?

Germany basically helped fund the Russian military, yet here we are with people acting like they can't possibly accept any loss of territory. You really hit the nail on the head there, rustywalker82.

rustywalker82 said:That's just pure hallucination. Germany is actually one of the biggest donors to Ukraine. Not only that, but they’re a massive contributor to those trillions from the European Union funds—money the EEC clearly didn't just dump into decarbonization or cutting down on Russian oil and gas consumption. Instead, they used it to boost standards for personal cars, build highways, and other stuff that basically ends up indirectly funding Russia.

On top of that, Germany has been a huge advocate for Ukrainian sovereignty and was a co-author of the Minsk agreements. For nearly eight years, they kept pushing for those deals to be honored, even right before the full-scale Russian invasion when the German Chancellor traveled to meet Zelenska, urging him to finally implement those key parts of the agreement.

The real hallucination here is thinking that sausage makers are filling the Russian budget with billions? Wow, if anything is a delusion, it’s your refusal to face reality.

Germany is essentially the chief benefactor of a mirage; what they've given to Ukraine is mere pocket change, a desperate attempt to wash their dirty conscience because they are actually the primary financiers of Russia. The Russian war machine is running on German money. 🙂 In practical terms, Germany has financed this entire aggression. 🍿

Larry Fox5 said:The only way they’ll actually do that is if they're total idiots—because first and foremost, it’s just going to screw themselves over. Sure, it would hurt the Russians in the long run, but in the short term? That move isn't stopping the war at all.
Lindner is a responsible guy, so I doubt we'll ever see it happen...

Basically, through sheer political incompetence, they've turned themselves into nothing more than beggars for Russian energy. 🙂

Yet, they sure love to act like the moral authorities of the world, all while Russia continues its path through Ukraine fueled by dirty German money. 🙂

Peter Ruiz2 said:Russia is actually one of those rare countries that exports more than it imports, and this whole mantra about them being solely dependent on raw material exports is honestly a joke. Sure, sanctions hit them. They made it hard to get the tech components needed for their industry, but nothing that would actually shake them to the core. Americans have kept Cuba under an economic blockade for sixty years, and you don't see people starving there, do you? Cubans even managed to develop their own vaccine while the European Union couldn't even figure out how to make masks. As for factories closing—where exactly do you live that makes you think what's happening in the EU is some distant reality? Factories are shuttering in Germany right now; workers are getting laid off or sent back to "short-time" work like during the pandemic (which, by the way, hasn't really ended). But this time, it's not because of a virus. Like I said, Russians are used to sanctions; they play the long game. They aren't living hand-to-mouth like we are, where our biggest tragedy yesterday was an Amazon package arriving late.

We're living in a version of the EU where the German Chancellor is openly calling for everyone to "freeze ourselves in protest against Putin." Newsflash: he and the rest of these sanction-obsessed elites aren't actually going to freeze or shop in half-empty grocery stores. It’s not just gas and oil we’re talking about; it’s grain and fertilizer that the EU mostly imported from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. This level of shortsightedness from Western political elites is just unprecedented.

If that's the case, why are you even in Austria then, suffering through this decaying West?🙂

boldtiger7 said:And you’re asking about the ones that aren't tested on animals? Honestly, I find myself wondering why we even need to have this conversation. Is it really such a difficult concept to grasp? 🙄

It actually reminds me of an episode of Nip/Tuck that tackled this exact subject matter! 🤣

Well, folks, it looks like the folks over in Ukraine have their own version of a "total collapse" moment, but this one is strictly maritime!
It’s quite the massive blunder by the Russian Navy.

Thomas Hayes said:To me, he’s just boring—your textbook, stereotypical conspiracy theorist. You watch one podcast with him and feel like you've seen them all, you know? On the flip side, Badboy has these hunting stories that are honestly top-tier, plus he’s way more chill—he doesn't go into a total meltdown nearly as easily.

And when it comes to those wild, over-the-top stories, he eats them all for breakfast! 🤣 I mean, the guy has actually gotten quite intoxicated a few times and just completely let go without any inhibitions. 🤣

boldbadger1 said:Actually, I know an even better group—those folks from the small towns out West, sobbing over a few hours where maybe two hundred shells hit an Army base like it was some kind of nuclear strike.

Good grief, more ordnance probably dropped on a random suburb in Ohio than hit that whole town during the entire conflict...

And honestly? The most ridiculous thing I ever heard was this old lady claiming she was "shocked and appalled" because some local militia was tossing flowers their way through the neighborhood—as if they were some sort of savages or something.😬

I have to say, I absolutely love seeing these kinds of upsets! Honestly, it breaks my heart to see them being snatched away from the reach of justice like this. Don't we all just want things to be handled properly? 🙂

Kyle Campbell4 said:I have officially lost my mind. Every single day, without fail, I am haunted by these new ideas about how things ought to be. This morning, while standing in my bathroom, I caught sight of the first signs of aging. I stared at those gray hairs, the deepening lines around my eyes, and the dark circles under my lids from a lack of sleep. A few hours later, I found myself deep in a Google search for high-end men's facial moisturizers. It is truly pathetic; I, who once held such utter contempt for vanity and all its superficial nonsense, have reached a point where wrinkles actually bother me. Even the prospect of moving to Ukraine is starting to look more appealing, and that is saying something when the first Russian tank is already rolling into view.

Good grief, what is happening to you? Just drop all that stress and relax! 🤣

Isn't it ironic when the same crowd that was out there throwing flowers at tanks rolling into a besieged city starts weeping after just ten days of shelling? 🤣

Thomas Hayes said:Bad Boy really should have been the one getting the special recognition—not those two idiots Duspara and Pintarić, or that annoying guy Hambi.

Seriously, Pintarić, can you get any more ridiculous? 🤣 That neckbeard of his is just too much! 🙏🤣

The Dollar just broke under the 100 mark against the USD for the first time in two weeks—thanks a lot, Germany!

I honestly can't wrap my head around people who travel just to exhaust themselves. For me, a trip should be all about relaxing, having a blast, and hanging out—not trekking through endless mountains and forests until you're completely wiped out! 🕺

Elizabeth Mendoza said:What if he isn’t actually doing all this on purpose? Like, maybe he knows everyone is totally losing their minds over him right now, so he’s just playing the part. People try to "expose" him, and then he just cranks out more videos. Negative publicity is still publicity, right? Is this just some massive clickbait tactic to drive up his views?

Honestly, he’s exactly the type of person who would pull something like that.

loneharbor34 said:We touched on Bađunko for a little bit, though he mostly just repeated the same points he made during those podcasts. I honestly think he could use a little help from Aya, if only to take him down a peg and bruise that massive ego of his a bit. 😁 When you really stop to consider it, what is there left to say about a man who clearly seems to be struggling with some significant mental health issues?

There’s just no helping him at this point. We aren't talking about some misguided teenager; we're talking about a man who is well over 40 and completely stuck in his ways.

What's the word on all those lies? 🍿

Have you ever crossed paths with Alexandra Bilanovica? I actually had the chance to spend a couple of days hanging out with him while traveling through Peru, and let me tell you—he is one fascinating individual. He has such an incredible life story, and honestly, he's quite the character! 🙏

He hosted my friend and me, gave us a lift around town, and even let us crash at his place for a night. We sat by the fire until five in the morning, just hanging out around the embers. What an absolute legend! Isn't it rare to find people like that nowadays?

Haha, you really did him a favor by banning him! Honestly, he wasn't exactly the picture of health himself, but at least he was a bit more grounded—relatively speaking. Was there any mention of any supplements or prep being used?

His past is certainly a bit peculiar, isn't it? Apparently, he used to be involved with some old-school intelligence agency back in the day.

Badun might just stay a local laughingstock, but thanks to social media, you have the chance to become a global laughingstock instead.

Anthony Wright30 said:The festivities for St. Roch are still going strong in a small town down in the Mediterranean 😁

Exactly! Honestly, that’s easily one of the top five saints in all of the Mediterranean. 🤣

I just can't wrap my head around the idea of someone from the coast being named something like Stefan or anything like that! Can you even picture it? It just feels totally off, doesn't it? 🤣
