I was referring to the conflation of ‘petulant attitude’ and ‘body language wasn’t good ’, which were sober accurate observations….with ‘spoilt brat dwarf’, which clearly was an insult.


I trust that makes your day.

I see . . . so you get all indignant when JD Vance is insulted yet you give ou Maaik's daily insults about Joe Biden and other Democrats a pass.


Are you saying that if you insult a Democrat it's okay but if you insult a Republican then you need to clean up your act?

Lol...Moz giving Mike a pass?...more likely skipping over some of Oom Maaik's posts without noticing...you should know better Rudenek, Moz has been on Maaik's case for way longer than you have...sometime not too long ago your best quality was not p!$$ing on Ou Maaik every day...must be a sign of you getting old for finally losing your patience with Ou Maaik...I pray I never get that old...regardless of the years.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahahahaha!


Ask Moffie about the early years when he used to jump to ou Maaik's defence every time I pointed out ou Maaik's stupidity . . . let's see if Moffie is a liar or not.

That statement is just plain wrong . . . but what the heck would you know, Squeaky Toy? Were you on the old SuperSport board back in the first few years of the millennium?


No? Then why are you shooting your stupid mouth off about stuff you know nothing about?


It's a valid question.


I recognized ou Maaik's unique brand of stupidity the first time I ever exchanged posts with him. It took Moffie at least 5 years longer.

I'm not wrong...a few years ago, while Moz was constantly on Ou Maaik's case...you weren't at that time...regardless of what happened in the past. You gave him a break...you even acknowledged that it served no purpose to constantly berate Ou Maaik...and the Trump happened and you couldn't hold it back no more...toe begin jy maar weer skop teen die prikkels...stop hitting your head against concrete...you're they only one hurting...Ou Maaik is like a force of nature...nothing anyone on this site throws at him will stick...he doesn't care, he sticks to his guns no matter the blow back...good on him!!

  1. What period?? Are you saying that Rooi wasn't civil to ou Maaik in the starting years of this site? When Maaik's avatar was still a storm trooper reading newspaper on a toilet??? I wasn't around on SS when Maaik was there...I first met Maaike on this site while he was still working in KZN...Rooi, tell Denny there was a time on this site when you were nice to Mike...not agreeing with him on all issues, but not kakking on Maaik all the time...I don’t care what happened way back on a different site...I'm talking about this site.

"Moz has been on Maaik's case for way longer than you have..."


. . . is just plain wrong.


You're not qualified to even make that comment. Dense is.


Now stop spouting crap about a subject you know nothing about and stick to things you do know something about . . . like . . . ummmmm . . . uhhh . . . well, maybe you should just shut your trap.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy


I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively"

Actually I have never supported Biden. I think he has been a disastrous president and clearly too old to serve. But he was never competent even when not impaired

I am entirely against open borders, but I respect people. Most of the immigrants who come to the States are doing it to better their lives and the lives of their children. They are willing to work incredibly hard and are doing many of the lousy jobs in the country.

We need a sane immigration policy, but denigrating decent people isn’t the way to get there.

To some extent I am uniparty. I don’t approve of assault weapons in private hands and the gun culture in America is crazy. The government isn’t coming to take your children. And if they were your pea shooter wouldn’t stop them. All these millions of guns ensure is some deranged person is going to shoot up a school.

Nobody wanted the Ukraine war. The world was trying to recover from the disruptions of COVID. And it’s entirely on Putin for walking into a sovereign country. Many countries would have folded like France in WW2. The Ukranians haven’t.

Zelensky may not be Churchill. But nor is Churchill …Churchill. The myth far exceeds the man who made horrible blunders in both wars. But like Zelensky he served to galvanize the defense.

America has made mistakes with Russia, Sochi for example, never really welcoming them into the fold. But that doesn’t mean you can launch a war which may cause a million deaths and destroy a country.

Putin isn’t the savior of white South Africa. He is just another thug. Which is a shame because Russia has wonderfully talented people and great cultural history.

In short, I have my own views on life, I’m not governed by a globalist vision or a party vision. I take what I find right. And having lived on three continents and in several countries, I find people have much in common at a personal level….love of family, willingness to work, a sense of decency.

Russia has already lost this war. The world view of Russia is much diminished. Europe, their logical customer, is in the process of building new energy infrastructure which excludes them and despite the daily ‘news’ on this site, they still haven’t defeated the Ukraine.

As the accurate WSJ article documented, with direct quotes from participants , the peace talks were sabotaged by Russian atrocities.


Why do I think this is credible. Because I have had first hand experience with some of these sources.


Because there is no sane reason America would have promoted a Ukrainian war with Russia, when every military expert thought Russia would win in months. Why would America want to give Putin a victory?


Because the USA like the rest of the world was focused on successfully getting past COVID in February 2022, not promoting any wars.


….


The USA is not perfect….nor do I believe everything in the media. But the WSJ and the Economist are two centrist sources that pride themselves on honest reporting…unlike the right wing rubbish you lap

Mozart, Zelensky gets politically gangbanged in the face of a worldwide audience by the batshit duo yet your observation determines that he's petulant with poor body language.


Petulant....poor body language....I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry reading the BS.

What about Trump sticking his finger in Zelensky's face?

What about Trump putting his hand on Zelensky's shoulder.......in other words shut-up and listen to what I have to say.

Both Trump and Vance were belligerent while addressing a man who's carrying the weight of a hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered nation on his shoulders. The pair of them belittled and humiliated him in front of a world wide audience and Putin I bet was lapping it up.

The 'Art of the Deal' is an exercise in doing what I tell you to do, I don't care what you think.

The 'Art of the Deal' was an exercise in humiliation....hell did Trump show himself for what he is!?

Not once is there any mention of what Russia is going to do.

Not once!

Nobody emerges from that meeting with any credit.

…… ….


And from the post that launched this thread:


’But where do we go from here, the meeting may end up being a nothing burger but it exposed a real rift in views. Most disturbing was the sense of bullying that emerged in and after the meeting….you can’t expect a nation fighting for survival to be polished and balanced.’


…………..


Okay so do you get it Blob, I’m not saying I approved of Trump or Vance in that meeting. In fact my sympathies were with Zelensky.


But Zelensky let down his people by indulging in emotional reactions. His job was to negotiate the rare earths deal and secure American support. And as distasteful as it was….he needed to connect with Trump.


He failed in that mission…rolled his eyes, looked up at the ceiling, made an unnecessary remark about America behind it’s protective Oceans.


As a leader he had no right to say those things, not because they were unfair or wrong, but because he was serving the boys who are out there dying. Those moments of petulance can lead to many more deaths



Nobody emerged from that meeting with any credit, nobody behaved in a way that was consistent with the horror that’s taking place,


BB


Fuck whom - you ge fucked eey time speading media B S and I dd not know you brains had gone out of your arsehole already and repalced by media BS.


Everybody wants peace and Zelemsky fucked up that meetig with Trump totally and is now trying to get back in teh engotiation process. By the way to announe demands before the media like Zelesnskyy did is diploma tically unh eeard of and he si alrady tying to apoloe to Trump and Vance fo the BS he created,


After the European leaders told him they support the negotiation process led by Trump Zelenskyy is now trying to get for instance the Rare Minerals Treaty signed and accepted what Trump told him in the past and his effort was that he could embarrass Trump in front of the media and he would have the support of European leaders and Starmer before the decision as to what they can give to Ukraine in enhancing the peace process, The supprt of Europe for continuatin otf he war evaporized and Zelesnskyy now realizze he should not use the emdia to enforce his will to be enforced to be the only isue counting in the negotiation process backfired badly, ,
