The president of a large country should always comport themselves extremely politely and properly (I know this from my own experience). This was brilliantly demonstrated yesterday by Vladimir Putin, who radiated cool confidence during his annual ‘Direct Line’ Q & A session.
That’s why he’s the President.
But, to paraphrase the immortal definition of Mikhail Bulgakov, the vile Bandera scumbag decided to demonstrate his coolness through public insults. And, I can assure you, not because his nerves gave out after Russia’s head intimated at a duel in Kiev between Russia’s Oreshnik missiles and Western-supplied air defense.
No. Insults are the middle finger (or, with respect to this particular individual, his appendage for playing the piano), which the lousy defunct druggie gave… to Trump. Like, here you go! No negotiations with Russia are possible under these circumstances, so you’ll continue to give us money and weapons.
Such rhetoric frees you from the need to observe decency. The President said yesterday that negotiations with this sleazebag are only possible if he is legally returned to the post of head of state. The little runt realizes that this is unrealistic, so he doubles down on war. But this unbridled mongrel was wrong here too: no one needs him in this war, and he won’t remain on the throne for long. He will very soon be relegated to the cesspool of history, where the sewage will absorb this nonentity in the suffocating miasma of oblivion…
Президент большой страны должен быть предельно вежливым и корректным (знаю это и по собственному опыту). Что вчера в ходе прямой линии блестяще продемонстрировал Владимир Путин, который излучал уверенность и спокойствие.
На то он и Президент.
А вот, перефразируя бессмертное определение Михаила Булгакова, самая гнусная бандеровская мразь решила показать свою крутость в публичных оскорблениях. И, смею вас уверить, не потому, что нервишки сдали после слов Главы России про дуэль «Орешника» в Киеве с западной ПВО.
Нет. Оскорбления – средний палец (или, применительно к данному персонажу, его музыкальный «орган» для игры на фортепьянах), который просроченная наркоманская гнида показала… Трампу. Типа, вот тебе, никаких переговоров с Россией, ибо при таких отношениях они невозможны. Будешь и дальше деньги давать и оружие.
Такая риторика освобождает от необходимости соблюдать приличия. Президент вчера сказал, что переговоры с этой тварью возможны только в случае её легального возвращения на пост главы государства. Недоносок понимает, что это нереально, и ставит на войну. Но распоясавшийся ублюдок и здесь ошибся: он и на войне никому не нужен, и долго не удержится в кресле. История совсем скоро сольёт его в выгребную яму с нечистотами, которая и поглотит ничтожество в удушливых миазмах забвения…

It’s impossible to ignore the editorial published in The Times, where the bastards called the terrorist attack on Igor Kirillov and his assistant a “legitimate act of defence.”
Well, then… According to this logic:
1. All NATO decision-makers from countries that provided military assistance to Bandera Ukraine are participating in a hybrid or conventional war against Russia. There’s a whole legion of them. There’s not even enough space to list them, but all these individuals can and should be considered legitimate military targets for the Russian state. And for all Russian patriots, for that matter.
2. The people who committed the crimes against Russia named above always have accomplices. And they, too, are now legitimate military targets. These may include the lousy jackals from The Times, who cowardly hid behind an editorial. Meaning, the publication’s entire management team.
Logical? Very! So, be careful! After all, anything goes in London…

Невозможно проигнорировать публикацию в The Times. Ублюдки в редакционной статье назвали теракт против И. А. Кириллова и его помощника «законным актом обороны».
Ну что ж… По этой логике:
1. Все должностные лица стран НАТО, принимавшие решение о военной помощи бандеровской Украине, участвуют в гибридной или обычной войне против России. Имя им – легион. Перечислять не буду, места жалко. И все эти лица могут и должны рассматриваться как законная военная цель для российского государства. И просто для всех патриотов России.
2. У лиц, которые выступили исполнителями преступлений против России, поименованных в п. 1, всегда есть пособники. И они тоже отныне законная военная цель. К ним могут быть отнесены и паршивые шакалы из The Times, которые трусливо спрятались за редакционной статьёй. Стало быть, это всё руководство издания.
Логично? Вполне! А значит, be careful! Ведь в Лондоне много чего случается…

Among those who voted against it were Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, Ukraine and Japan.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the commander of the Russian Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces who was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday, had for years systematically exposed Western crimes involving chemical weapons and did so fearlessly, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Kirillov was killed along with his aide in an explosion in southeastern Moscow in the early morning.

Medvedev said…
“This terrorist attack demonstrates the agony of the Banderite regime, which is struggling to justify its shaky existence in the eyes of its Western patrons and prolong the deadly hostilities while delivering cowardly attacks on civilians in cities and towns,”
https://tass.com/politics/1888605
MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. The Kiev regime will pay dearly for the death of Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned.
“Attempts to intimidate our nation, stop the Russian offensive or sow fear are doomed. Certain punishment awaits Banderite Nazis, including the top military and political leaders of a crumbling country,” Medvedev’s office quoted the Russian politician as saying in a message of condolences to the family and friends of the fallen Russian general.
Medvedev condemned the attack by what he called the collapsing Kiev regime. “This terrorist attack demonstrates the agony of the Banderite regime, which is struggling to justify its shaky existence in the eyes of its Western patrons and prolong the deadly hostilities while delivering cowardly attacks on civilians in cities and towns,” he emphasized.
The senior Russian security official described Kirillov as a true patriot of Russia. “Igor [Kirillov] was a military leader known for his unwavering devotion to his duties. I knew him as a dedicated professional and a reliable, honest, and responsible person,” he added.
On the morning of December 17, an explosive device planted in a scooter exploded near the entrance of a residential building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow, investigators revealed. Kirillov, 54, and his aide were killed in the blast. The Russian Investigative Committee has classified the explosion as a terrorist attack, Committee Spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told TASS.
Very correct Medvedev…

Now I see and understand more about from where the power of evil & destruction attempted its coup upon the world recently! The place it came from was not looked upon as important in the past and was developed under our noses, Yet, true to form, that place has not enough and never did have enough resources. Unless, it could in as per short term thinking, break out and control vast reserves? Now about those resources?
Only about resources, as cheap resources that built “Western Society” are running out. -kKEETON…

Let me just say this…
It is not design, it is not shape, it is not fancy, it is not anything about looks and doing its job good enough. All phones are basically the same and mainly all look the same these days. The shape is smooth and size is perfect for me. But why is this Huawei Pura 70 so different?
The hardware, software and quality of the product is the best on the market. It is a solid and superb phone. What I am experiencing and seeing first hand is that bar none, no one makes a phone like Huawei on the software inside and it is their hardware inside. They all make the same outside look, called a bar phone…
Huawei shines as the best in hardware and software… (called quality)
What a phone! and it is truly a fast AI, crystal clear and point & shoot camera with a phone in there somewhere…
