    All part of the push for an online digital ID under the same guise of "for your protection" and or to "protect the children"...they have of course wanted this for a long time the end of online anonymity.

    The ultimate censorship lovers dream.

    Resist these draconian/dystopian edicts in every way possible.

    So, for you, it's OK that TikTok has a shareholder controlled by the CCP?

    Without going into a history lesson, Russia diverted and destroyed so much of the German military ( army AND air force ) that the Allies were able to reach Germany before the Russians took all of Eastern Europe. Had the German military not been gutted by Russia the Allied invasion would probably never have left the beaches alive, IMO. The Allied secret weapon was Hitler who refused to let the Germans retreat from Russia, and they were destroyed there.

    Perhaps they did it to save themselves, but it doesn't mean that they didn't win the war against Germany

    And the bad war mongering U.S.A. was providing weapons to Russia, just as they are doing now to Ukraine!

    What a shame! 😃

    She sure did. No talk from Trump about 'stolen' and 'rigged' elections then. Everything was free and fair then of course.. Including Putins massive disinformation-campaign against the American voters, to the advantage of his orange protégé..

    It's not accurate. Trump did claim the 2016 election was rigged: 🤣

    - before the election, when polls were against him,

    - after the election, he was ashamed he had lost the popular vote, so he claimed thete had been 3 million fake voters. He even created an investigation committee about it. As the other GOP committees, it went nowhere....

    Oh, and he also claimed the 20212 election was rigged! 😃

    And you figure that any hackers didn't figure it out, even if it took a few months to cut the first USB chip?

    There is no proof anyone got a copy of the system before the election. Also note that the machines are not connected.

    The only ones who got a copy of the system have been the Kraken team. They had to illegally enter the office and got caught on camera. That was after the election.

     

    As usual, you have nothing.

    Did I mention war mongering? Or being pro putin at any time?

    You seem to have an uncontrolled predilection for projecting paranoid assumptions.

     

    Right. It was not intended to you, but to the posters I initially replied to, who were accusing the current administration of war mongering for spending weapons to Ukraine.

    Sorry for being confusing.

    The US sent massive military supplies to the UK, China, and the  Soviets on a commercial interest basis nearly 1 year before opting in to ww2. And that only happened when the Japs declared war followed very soon after by Germany.

    Funny no really how the $ Cost of war features so high ahead of human deaths.

    Under the lend lease scheme, they had not pay for that was used or destroyed during WWII. The Soviet Union paid back only 8% of what was provided. Actually less, if you take into account inflation, as most of the repayment was made in 1972.

     

    So that was war mongering according to the line of thought of pro-putin posters, wasn't it?

    I always thought at the beginning of the WW2 Russia and Germany had an agreement not to fight each other But then Hitler renaged on that agreement and attacked Russia. So I don't really think Russia saved Europe more like they saved themselves and Europe benefited

    And then the bad war mongering USA sent massive military help to Russia. Funny how history repeats itself! 😀

    Perhaps it was a gentleman's agreement  between Gorbachev and Reagan  ???

    It could be. However, you seem to forget that the Soviet Union has been dissolved so there was no gentleman's agreement any more (in case there was any).

     

    The irony is that the main reason for this dissolution was the unilateral independence declared by Russia in June 1991 (6 months before) which also induced the declaration of independence of Uhraine one month later!
