The G7 nations are moving toward a cap on Russian gas imports—effectively setting a maximum price they're willing to pay to acquire it.

Does that include China too?

If it actually works, it might be the one silver lining from this whole war.
Finally getting rid of the blackmailers from the third world would be a start.

It's not quite what he says, but it's not your version either.
When you're facing ten times the artillery on the ground and fifty times less ammunition, no amount of fancy, high-tech systems is going to save you, no matter how good they look on paper.

War eventually boils down to sheer mass. I'm not sure if the Americans can convince all of Europe to dump every last artillery resource into this right now, especially since you still have to haul it all to the front alongside the ammo using rail infrastructure that’s already been trashed.

Funny how they finally decided to wake up and notice...

This will in the short term ☕give ExxonMobil the perfect excuse to officially announce that the taps flowing toward the West are being shut off simply because it’s no longer economically viable or profitable under these new market conditions.

Larry Walker24 said:
Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president, just dropped a bombshell, claiming any move by a NATO country toward the Crimea peninsula would be seen as an act of war against Russia—basically triggering World War III.

"To us, Crimea is part of Russia. Period. It’s staying that way forever. Any attempt to mess with Crimea is a declaration of war against our nation. And if a NATO member does it, they aren't just picking a fight with one country, they're picking a fight with the entire alliance. We're talking World War III. Total catastrophe," Medvedev told the news site Argumenty Fakty.

He also went off about how Russia is going to beef up its borders if Finland and Sweden join NATO, saying they'll be "ready to retaliate"—which might mean putting those Iskander hypersonic missiles right on their doorstep.

🙂honestly, it's like, who even cares what he thinks? but man, you start feeling this real tension and anxiety creeping in...

ever since those long-range missiles 50 miles and then those 200-mile range ones started showing up 186 miles things have gotten seriously tense...

Enough about de-escalation—it’s the same old threats.

A chilling warning from the Russian agency: They just released coordinates for major NATO capitals.
Dmitry Medvedev recently claimed that if Ukraine uses Western missiles to strike Russian soil, they will target "decision-making centers"—so this NASA release feels like a pretty grim threat.

United Kingdom: Putin could launch an attack on Europe.

Manchi, I’m asking you—please, stop quoting these completely irrelevant and pointless figures from the current Russian political landscape. And let's be honest, under what you'd call a functional dictatorship, isn't every single official in the Russian regime basically part of that same useless category? 🤷)
That little dwarf is practically one step away from becoming a total hack like Ragozin, who really is in a league of his own. 🤦

"Former Russian president" basically just means some guy in Beijing who Putin lets sit in a comfy chair whenever he feels like it.

It is truly quite striking to witness; seeing those Ukrainian extremists in uniform is exactly as certain individuals here have been describing.

Honestly, some people truly possess neither a shred of shame nor a conscience.

Keep telling yourselves that Putin isn't targeting civilians, and just keep insisting he’s only invading a sovereign nation because he "has" to denazify criminals like the ones you see in this video.

It is painfully clear that even the innocence of childhood has been compromised by those harboring such hateful, extremist ideologies.

🤮

Big deal.
As if those coordinates were some deep, dark mystery they just stumbled upon or decided to reveal for the first time! 🤦

Sure, there are definitely no Nazis here.
But what about those Nazi ducks in the pond and the pigeons on the dome, all moving in tactical combat formations?

Dmitry Medvedev recently dropped a bombshell, claiming that if Ukraine uses Western-made missiles to strike Russian soil, they’ll respond by targeting "decision-making centers." Given recent posts from NASA, you could easily interpret this as a chilling threat. "

It’s a terrifying prospect, honestly. But let’s be real—this instability threatens Russia just as much as the rest of the world.
I suspect other global superpowers aren't sitting around waiting for things to go sideways. They likely already have those coordinates on file, rather than waiting for missiles to start flying everywhere before they bother looking for those damn Russian targets.

🤮

Yeah, someone on this forum mentioned seeing people in uniforms, but I'm looking at this footage and I don't see a single person in uniform. This is a deliberate strike on civilians, plain and simple, and it should be treated as a war crime.

Maybe those pro-Russia trolls on here should actually watch the clip properly.

The people in the park got lucky. Given how "precise" these missiles supposedly are, it's a miracle they didn't land right in the middle of the park.

Total idiots, honestly. Hard to believe anyone falls for this. What really bugs me, though, is how NATO and the USA just sit there and take these threats lying down.

Where would NATO even find the time to react if they had to deal with every single dog barking in the neighborhood.

Look, we aren't talking about some random tough talk here. These are actual nuclear threats—"we're gonna do this," "we're gonna do that," "you guys are dead," blah blah blah. It's heavy stuff.

Just a bunch of hysterical barking about domestic spending.

The saddest part is how all this is coming straight out of Roscosmos. As much as we love poking fun at Americans, I just can't imagine the head of NASA spewing stuff like this. It honestly just shows how deeply unhinged the crew over in Russia is right now.

Yeah, well, we've been hearing that exact same song and dance for sixty years now...
