I'm going strictly off the headline of the link, which I didn't click: US *reportedly thinks* that Ukraine authorized killing a Russian oligarch.

Why is "what the US 'reportedly thinks'" a news story?


they cant say its true without proof, but they know its true. happens all the time.

It used to be that the news reported on what happened.

Now it "reports" on what people think, or how they feel. That's not news.

they are probably just covering their ass. the amount of times in the news we hear someone "allegedly" did something because they dont want to be sued.

im just wondering, why is this being reported. I mean its very flimsy if the US wants to use this to try to convince Ukraine not to attack Crimea. oops sorry, i meant liberate, Crimea.

First, you're a lying POS huylo. Yes, Wagner are Nazis.

Second, it is obviously you, whose posts no one cares for.

I'm going to quote some American history for you, to help you understand the American ethos: "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute."

In holding with this ethos, it means it is far preferable to fight claw, tooth, and nail, than it is to give in to bullying.


No, I'm not the POS here. You are. The same guy who is defending a hardcore Nazi military and fascist US-controlled junta in Ukraine. The Ukrainian army is the modern day incarnation of the Wehrmacht.

Your excuses for defending them are worthless. By your same logic you should have supported the Iraqis, Afghanis, Syrians, Libyans, Yemeni, Iranians, Somalians, and countless others who were bullied by the United States.

What's that saying? Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house? But oh yeah, small little things like hypocrisy simply don't matter to you. You perfectly encapsulate the arrogance that defines the west, and you're too dim and short sighted to even realize it.

Chopstickz likes to toss around the word never.

He also swore multiple time that Russia would never ever in a million years invade Ukraine.


He proceeded to call everyone stupid who said Russia will invade.

Shortly after Russia invaded.


Yes, it turned out to be the *one* time in several decades that my country wasn't lying about something. So I got it wrong.

But even in this case, they only mentioned it because it was a proxy war which they very much wanted to happen, did everything in their power to provoke Russia into doing, and planned long in advance to twist to their advantage.

American intelligence leaks to the NYT and other mainstream media sources all the time. Forbes' headline doesn't surprise me.

Those gold teeth belonged to an Ukrainian dentist. They aren't even out of gold but stainless steel. Some Russian stole the package from him thinking they were made out of gold. He thinks they were used by Russians to intimidate people.

Dream on mate, thats BS. Simulations show that "only" 0.5 billion people will die globally in the first year. 65% of russias population and 10% NATO population would die. You don't need a phd to see who looses less and hence wins in the end. That's the reason why this shitflinging is being pushed. I'm shocked that citizens on both sides let them being pushed towards mass destruction for "the right thing".

Statistics don't tell you how many are going to die from famine, wars and cancer in the upcoming years. The more you have the more you have to lose. We in the west are living pretty well for world standards. A nuclear winter is going to make our lives much worse than theirs, for their standards of living aren't high to begin with.
