Seriously at the point where I’d like to see Russia wiped off the face of this earth.


Meanwhile……


Buckle up for a chilly winter folks, thanks again for this Vladimir, stellar effort at making as many people on earth as miserable as possible.

I feel for you guys in Europe.
Yeah it's gonna hit the low income people hard, thankfully our governments are gonna be doling out some winter fuel payments but they'll need to do more to help especially considering the energy companies are making an absolute killing but it's fuck all compared to what those Russian cunts are putting Ukrainians through, thankfully I've a few open fires and a wood burner in my house so I can offset the insane cost of gas with simply lighting my fires more often but I don't mind the financial hit as long as we keep squeezing those fuckers hard

EU just needs to play it dirty, send in drones to bomb russia's energy grid to the point they will start to realize its not working out for them also.

$3500 in a year? That is ridiculous. My condolences and I hope governments do something to help people out.

The Tories have said they will, but it's easy to say that. At the moment support is thin and we're being told to consume less energy this winter. Lots of people will need to choose food or keeping warm.

£3500 is also the average cost and there is another increase expected in Spring. By April the average price could be £6000 per year.

Very hard economic times about to hit the UK. As well as energy prices, inflation is at an all time high and interest rates are going up. Long recession incoming.

Are your energy companies doing anything to help? Here in the 'States, my power company asked me if I wanted to change to only renewable energy as much as possible to reduce my power costs when my bill climbed from about $80/month to $160/month in the summer (if we didn't run our AC 24/7 here in some coastal cities we'd literally die, as temps are constantly 90+F and reaches over 100F, even well into the night). I did, and my bill immediately fell from ~$160 to ~$120. It's not much but it's something.

For more info, my local power company in recent years completed a major ocean wind farm and added some solar power to the grid. So it's way cheaper than gas and coal. At least here.

Also my power bills here during the fall and winter are like ~$60. Even after switching to work from home.

It’s not only the UK .. it’s the whole of europe. Here in The Netherlands it’s also sky high. We got lucky that we invested in a modest set of solar panels 2 years back.

I live in Germany. We are three people in a small house. I have a €130 power bill every month :/

Nope. Energy companies aren't doing anything meaningful to help. The government want to push more to renewables, but that's not going to prevent the oncoming price shock.

The UK actually gets very little of its gas from Russia. It's around 10% or lower. However, because of the increase of wholesale prices, the UK, and a majority of Europe, are in for a rough time this winter.

We're utterly fucked. The English takes a back leg. I wonder why.

Simply a war. The sooner the dies...?

The West lives.

Our major problem is we have no practical government at the moment, at a time when we most need it, because fat boy has got all poochy because his bullshit caught up with him.

I'm not sure how that makes sense. If they said we will switch you to renewables but it will cost more I can see that, but why would they charge you more for using conventional means. It's their power just charge less from its pool.

Mr. Community
Btw, italian elections are soon and putin being the unrelenting piece of dogshit he is, he's been cultivating relations with the neofascists and giving them money.

So keep an eye out, if that party wins that could weaken the coalition.

when we take a look at how the russian horder's war effort against a more modern civilization is going, it's actually the deceased remains of the ukrainian warrior that's mocking this mongrel barbarian

I got the "we're utterly fucked" bit, but have no idea what the rest of your post means.


History, Let the Yanks pull their fingers out their ass. They did it before. I also think it wrong yet only they have the might. Germany doesn't.

Be WW3. Innocent people being killed. America bragged about their power. Show it.

Would be normal, even Germany wants nothing to do with it.

Most powerful nation after all. No need for nukes. (thought Japan was wrong, Big Boy and Little Boy) Nuked a city.

Aremica, fuck yeah, has a reason. Firepower. Couldn't take Afghanistan though after 9/11. They surrendered.

Guess who's back, back again. It sure ain't Enemiem. Just woman beating.

Edit: Mean WW2.

No they started the second world war, kinda started one of the massive in history and had a peace-treaty.

Still visited. Beautiful place.

No. Sorry. How is this not a breakdown? We're talking about the Russian invasion causing insane energy prices, but you're banging on about WW2, 9/11 and US military might.

Ive' visited and loved it.

Then I spoke about German history, a poster got annoyed. Pointlessness.

Simply a stupid argument, I shouldn't have started it. It really was only a simply argument. They couldn't tak


Invasion. Happy to help.

Lol at the post's aag
The Celt's and later englishdid.



I was trying to correct a post.

I speak thee launegaes.

That was purposed. I quote myself on that. Irish, English and Polish, even Spanish and Catalan. Hell even a splash of Italian.

I'm terrible at all barre English, even have Catalan and Sicilian. (not the same Italian, just hotter people).

I fucked in all countries, you kind of need to learn it it for a love. Left in over in Barcelona, most difficult. Saw the Nue Camp and the team, used to work opposite their training grounds.

Yet as languages go, you learn. Maybe Polish was harder. Slavic ones are hard and I'm Irish.

Try Irish. Nobody uses it.

Edit; try Catalan. Your world will open up to beauty.

Excuse me? I answered a post? Now I'm having a breakdown?

Little sleep sure.

I never once replied to you.

Mate, you were banging on about WW1/2 and then how you've fucked all around Europe. I don't understand how any of this has relevance to the war in Ukraine?

Sounds like a full blown breakdown. Either that you've been popping MDMA. I get it fella. I remember the first time I took E as well.

My drug days are well over.

The threat is real for Poland. Hence my post. Last girlfriend was Polish. Previous was from Sicily.

Both get attacked first. Read a history book. The thread is about a Russian attack. (Both had family in the wars, neither would speak about it, they came back broken men). This war is not like this. It's money, plain and simple.

They're strategic points. Read my post again.

For what it's worth, I can't seeing Vlad doing it. Would be suicide for him.

America, Germany and the UK simply send arms to them. Even couldn't take Norway, had a cruiser here in Ireland at Shannon airport. It's a launching point for America for refueling. They don't want a war. They waived away the annex of Crimea. Then the Russians started moving in fully.

I think it's awful, I read the news and have seen the awful pictures.

As a world power, America simply sends ammo and that is a simple fact. So the state is fighting for their lives, brilliantly so no doubt but they can't last forever,

There is open worry that other states would be a target should they succeed. Poland, Czech republic etc. Even Hungary and he was mates with Vlad.

Look at gas prices, the highest ever in Europe. Europe is in a crisis and Vlad knows this. Prices are sky-rockteting.

That is the threat and also a threat to neighboring countries.

My point is crystal clear. The US went in at what point with outdated planes and ammunition?

Ukraine, smashed the opposing force. That was my point.

US never went truly in. They will be back. (Russians). Which is awful, they can't take a defeat.

Slavic never dies.
