This is typical of US foreign policy. Most times they will never walk the talk. Though Oliver took the L for the POTUS. If the Congress refuses to appropriate funds to sponsor rebels and militants which the POTUS will use to effect regime change abroad. They will get the funds through whatever channel is available

Yep. Some years ago, the CIA got involved in the cocaine business and was using the proceeds to sponsor Contrast fighting against the Nicaraguan government.

As in, the CIA smuggled cocaine into the US and used it to fund a war in Nicaragua.

⚡Russia used the atypical weapon "Grom-E1" for the first time during the attack on Kharkov - Mayor Terekhov

This is a hybrid of a missile and an aerial bomb. Apparently, the strike was carried out on the Trade Center, captured by militants of the 3rd assault brigade and turned into a military facility, or on the Sports Palace, which was converted into a Ukrainian Armed Forces base.

⚡Czech Republic profited from the Czech initiative by raising prices and transferring Turkish 155mm ammunition to Ukraine for money from Germany, Czech Senator Lukáš Wagenknecht says.

Turkish manufacturer sold ammunition to the Czech manufacturer at a price of 2,500 euros per unit.

The Czech government asked Germany for money at a price of 3,200 per unit.

CSG denies allegations of profiting from the ~$750 margin generated as a result, explaining that the published document reflects an indicative offer and not the final conditions for the supply of ammunition.

CSG states that while a profit is made on the delivery, it is "substantially lower and within reasonable limits".

Thank you for this brief history lesson, I hope it will go a long way to educate the many ignoramus in this thread.

Just to add to your dissertations, the Soviet Union and "NAZI" Germany prior to the ww2 actually signed a pact know as Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and both countries actually carved out Northern Europe for themselves. Under this wicked Secret Pact Poland was to be shared, while Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Bessarabia went to the Soviet Union, while France and others where to go to NAZI Germany.

By 1940 the soviet union had invaded and occupied parts of Poland and some other baltics states, all this was done under a secret arrangement with :NAZI"Germany

As you rightly pointed out it wasn't until the Germans launch operation barbossa that the pact was terminated, and the Soviet Union and Germany became enemies, The Soviet Union was part and parcel to the NAZI invasion of Europe which started ww2, and the only reason the soviets fought against the nazis was because of distrust between both nations and Hitler being more ambitious than stalin.

The soviets knew that the nazis were going to start a war by invading Poland, they gladly went ahead with it because they wanted parts of Poland for themselves.

When I see the writiNG the chief 🤡 writing nonsense calling US nazis I shake my head, because history will tell us that the same soviet union enabled NAZI Germany start a war but also did a secret pact to share northern Europe for themselves.

⚡Germany's Volkswagen (VW) is considering unprecedented factory closures in Germany.

The company may try to end its three-decade-old pact with workers that guarantees job security.

These would be the first closures in Germany during VW's 87-year history.

Germany's competitiveness as a business location is declining. VW is struggling with higher logistics, energy, and labor costs.

VW employs about 650,000 workers globally, with nearly 300,000 in Germany.

The last time VW closed a major car factory was over 30 years ago in the US.

"If there were no Soviet nuclear shield today, which is concentrated in Russia, we would not exist. Today, they do not know what to do with us: if they try to deal with us more harshly, there will be a nuclear response. And then the entire planet will perish.

And they do not want to perish anymore because they have a well-fed and good life - those who make these decisions," the Belarusian leader said.

Bro stop with the revisionism, the Soviet tried to reach a collective security agreement with France and the UK but it failed in 1938. The three countries had a treaty to protect Czechoslovakia, the Soviet proposed a collective defense but the French and Uk weren't willing.

"By May 1938 it was known that Hitler and his generals were drawing up a plan for the occupation of Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovaks were relying on military assistance from France, with which they had an alliance. The Soviet Union also had a treaty with Czechoslovakia, and it indicated willingness to cooperate with France and Great Britain if they decided to come to Czechoslovakia’s defense, but the Soviet Union and its potential services were ignored throughout the crisis" Copied from Britannica..

During this time, there was the Franco-German declaration which gave the French a sense of security. Almost all countries in Europe had a non-aggression pact with Germany (they were a force to reckon with)

The non-aggression pact that was signed by the newly appointed Soviet foreign minister Molotov and his German counterpart Ribbentrop was supposed to give the Soviet some sense of security just like the Franco German declaration.

All the countries you mentioned had a non aggression pact with Germany except Lithuania and Bessarabia ( Moldova) just like the Soviets.

One thing was certain, those agreement meant nothing to Hitler, he wanted all of Europe and the Japanese could keep all of Asia

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷Israel versus US versus Iran: What’s Happening in the Middle East

🏛🚫If the core purpose of Washington’s sanctions on Iran was to force a regime change in Tehran and cripple its ability to affect geopolitics in the Middle East, none of this has happened.


📌In fact, recent events show Iran behaving as a country that sounds neither deterred by Israel nor under immense pressure, both economic and military, from Washington. In response to Israel’s killing of Ismael Haniyeh in Iran, Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri said that Iran will “make the aggressor Israeli regime pay the price for its aggression in a legitimate and decisive action”.

⚠️🌐This is opposite to what Western political pundits have recently been saying with regard to Iran, i.e., if Tehran wanted to retaliate, it would already have. But this is not true. There is a lot more to what is happening in the region than meets the eye. Let’s turn to that.

🇮🇱🔥Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to drag his country into a war with no end in sight.

💣🇵🇸Despite the fact that Israel razed the Gaza Strip to the ground and eliminated several Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, it did not come close to victory on either the northern or southern fronts.


🔫According to the high-ranking US officials, cited by the New York Times, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) did everything they could militarily in Gaza, yet still, they failed to destroy Hamas.

⚠️🇯🇴On August 25, the situation on the border with Lebanon sharply escalated. More than 100 Israeli Air Force fighter jets launched a pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah missile launchers in southern Lebanon.

Stop trying to change history, Firsty all I wrote are facts and that can't be disputed.we have all seen all over in this thread the chief propagandist writiNG use The united states and nazi in the same context

This is not a matter of Treaty among nations, but all i am trying to pass on is that the Soviet union in a time of peace made a secretive pact with nazi Germany to partition Poland and takes over some batic states, the Soviet Union betrayed its neighbors even some it had Treaty with just so it could take more territories with the nazis.

So when I see clowns like writerNG call the US nazis, it makes me angry when infact the Soviet Union they so much love was a partner to the Nazis invasion of Europe they were part and parcel of the invasion, betraying their neighbours just so they could add to their already vast landscape

Funny you said the Germans were a force to be reckoned with, the same Germans were defeated soundly in ww1, the Germans had an head start over everyone during ww2, they have been preparing for a major conflict for decades, they had time to modernize their military when others were simply thinking about trade and commerce

The bottom line of the whole story is that the Soviet union made a serect pact with the nazis to divide Poland, take Finland and others, and the only reasons they become anti nazi was because Hitler saw the Soviet Union as a threat to his ambitions for total European dominance.

If the Germans didn't invade the Soviet Union, they would have been pro nazi till ww2 ends.

🔻 Hamas spox takes credit for executing hostages, says rules changed.

In a statement on Telegram, Hamas spokesman says that after the Israeli massacre of 200+ Palestinian civilians in Nusayrat Camp during the rescue attempt for 3 hostages, rules changed.

He says from then, whenever the army is close to the hostages, they will be executed and the army will no longer be allowed to operate in such matters.

This is what happened with last week's 6 hostages.

Adds the blame is fully on Netanyahu, and he will carry the burden of the Palestinian and Israeli bloodshed.
