    Did you have anything else to say about it?

    There are countries we’ve reached agreements with, countries we’ve already paid — for example, with Norway. I won’t say where else, but there’s a commitment to pay for 200 missiles. And of those 200 missiles, not a single one has arrived.

      there’s really nothing more to add. the begga king “paid” with money he didn’t even have, and now he’s waiting for an overnight delivery from amazon, because apparently someone can carve 200 boom tubes out of a magic tree in a single afternoon.

              Ask them if they support Putin and you will get your answer, or rather non-answer because they typically dodge the question.

                  If you try to be ‘I’m so smart. sOuRcE’, it’s easy to Google mate. Even a recent report showed that pro-Russia trolls have easily infiltrated the decentralised social media platforms like the fediverse.

                    And it really upsets that they’ve already made their way here. The Fediverse is still a very niche thing, but they’re already here. That sucks.

        Saying this from such a high throne. Your country is so safe from being invaded, as Russians never owned half of anyone’s land. After Ukraine falls and Poland falls I wonder who’s gonna be next, as NATO won’t jump to help anyone

          Oh, so we’re talking about realistic scenarios of how things might play out. Would that happen after Burkina Faso abandons their Mars base?
