    BTW - a fun piece of news. Germany's Scholz finally was forced by the Bundestag to give Ukraine some Gepards. 50 of them. But he claimed that Germany only had 23,000 shells to give with those Gepards - not enough.

    So Brasil volunteered about 300,000 Gepard shells they have to give to Ukraine. Note that Brasil is part of the so-called BRICS alignment - that is, Brasil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. So *even* Brasil is turning away from Russia.

    Minor snag with that is apparently the Swiss have vetoed the re-export of the Swiss made ammo. Its curious that Swiss neutrality means their weapons can't be used in for war.

  3. Hmmm. Not sure what is going on there. Bolsonaro and Putin are tighter than a bull's arse at fly-swatting time. He was in Moscow to see Putin just a couple days before the invasion. For Brazil, Russia is a big supplier of fertilizer for their soy crops. And Brazil voted against or abstained from sanctions for Russia and abstained from removing Russia from the UN Human Rights Council.

    So now, just a couple weeks later, they are helping to arm Ukraine??????????

    Not sure what is going on there. Sounds like Putin is no longer in a position to deliver on some of their deals or someone in DC offered him "incentives."

    Incentives can happpen.

  6. Action leads to reaction. In a similar way, you screwed with Russia and got your reaction. Your grandchildren (perhaps not if you are in a gay marriage) and my grandchildren would pay the price for the ignorant and arrogant policies of your country. I know you keep saying you are Canadian, but in reality you are just another unofficial state of the US. As for all of your other insults, this proves that you have nothing else to say so you revert to insults, classic twat (bit of your own medicine).

    In other news - Poland said it transferred to Ukraine 200 tanks as well as a few dozen BMPs, artillery pieces and Grad rocket systems.

    That's how Ukraine right now has more (working) tanks than Russia does.

    So no women or sports in your life then. Anyway, your addiction to the endorphins is not a dig, you are one of an endless parade of endorphin seeking addicts on this site so have a think about that.

    Where I'm from we say twit much more than twat.

    How vodka ruined Russia.

    MOSCOW, Dec 24 2014 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his government on Wednesday to rein in rising vodka prices, as he battles to preserve his popularity amid an aggravating economic crisis.
