Lost_Wanderer, in Armenia joins Russia's list of 25 countries where foreigners will be able to open accounts in Russian banks

Yeh… Who would want to open an account that could easily be seized for their warmongering?

cuenca, (edited )

Why? There’s no need for the citizens of the 25 countries to pay for it.

The idiots who pay for the warmongering are US and Europe themselves, thanks to the sactions, the high prices of the oil and gas, aids to UA and their stupid way of conducting the foreign policy with the rest of the world.

Putin smiles like never before.

And now the citizens of 25 countries will be able to send and receive payment to/from Russia freely, without a need to use shitty american SWIFT.

apis,

Probably just people who can’t get less risky accounts, or who are hoping to get money out of Russia.

Unaware7013,

Isn't this more bringing money into Russia? I wouldn't think putting money into a Russian bank would be an effective way to get money out of Russia...

apis,

Arrange a transfer from Russian branch to Armenian branch, withdraw money, close account.

Or just a plain withdrawal if you already have an account with them in Russia, and other banks are refusing your business.

Because in Europe everything is fine, isn’t it? With the new war inflation is skyrocketing and a new interest raise is around the corner. Thank you EU.

Why the Whataboutism?

Also, mind to explain how it is the fault of the EU for Russia starting a war against another country?

I’m also interested in this. In fact all of this could be my fault, so I just want to check. The one thing we can be sure of is that it’s not the Russian war that’s causing any problems anywhere, right? Maybe it’s the phase of the moon, or astrology

DarkThoughts,

Inflation rate of the EU is at its lowest since October 2021.
Meanwhile the conversation rate is 99 Ruble for 1€.
So yes, thank you. We're actually doing pretty alright. But I'm sure your propaganda media tells you something very different.

DieguiTux8623,

Not propaganda media, I live in Europe and I see the prices, the bills and the rental fees. And my salary. Wish me good luck.

DarkThoughts,

Well. If you think the grass is greener on Russia's side, then go on and move over.
I also like how you avoided the other persons question of how that's the EU's fault for Russia to play imperialistic asshole.

DieguiTux8623,

Very tolerant… shouldn’t we “on the other side” be more democratic? I wish I could move over as you suggested, unfortunately the only option will be passing away because I’m stuck here. I can’t even get a passport because in my country public offices have stopped working.

DarkThoughts,

lmao
What in the absolute fuck does this have anything to do with being democratic? Are you just throwing buzzwords around now? Seriously, just move to Russia and get shredded on the front. It would do us all a favor.

DieguiTux8623,

If this is the finest level of respect and politeness that our culture can produce, we deserve to be defeated and collapse. We’re on terminal stage.

DarkThoughts,

At least something we can agree on, except that people like you being the reason why that is the case.

DieguiTux8623,

I was talking about behavior and word choice being wrong, never about individual people. This has escalated badly, I won’t be answering any more.

DarkThoughts,

You made up some word salad that had nothing to do with the topic, got called out for it and now got no actual arguments left. You're welcome.

  • DarkThoughts,

    Hungary is suffering from their own pro Russia policy making & voting, which they're still holding onto. So apologies when I can't bring up a whole lot of sympathies for them and the repercussions they're facing from that. Germany is also not doing the greatest, and for similar reasons, at least in the energy sector. But at least now most parties sans the far left and far right have understood that.

    DieguiTux8623,

    You are assuming that inflation will stop, but after the new war oil and gas prices (so energy prices, and therefore the price of any retail good) are increasing dramatically. Another cycle of the depressive spiral is coming for Europe… the only positive aspect I can think of is that this part of the world is responsible for the misery and poverty of other areas of the world (say Africa) so in the end this will be a sort of very much due nemesis. But from here to saying that “everything is going to be alright” sounds like gaslighting.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the EU stands to gain money from this conflict

    I think we, as Europeans, missed a chance to help those in need and to stand for the weakest and most defenseless. And I would not be surprised to witness how neighbouring foreign cultures hate us.

    Have some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

    ribboo,

    It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

    java,

    How does this support manifest? I’m asking, because there are no real signs. Russian army is struggling to find soldiers and Putin is afraid to start another wave of mass-mobilization.

    If somebody echoes propaganda, it doesn’t mean that they support anything. There are no actions confirming this support.

    There are many more nuances. I suggest reading at least one book on yhe topic of political science and listening to some lectures before coming to conclusions on such a complex matters.

    Destraight,

    And? The Russians are the bad guys invading Ukraine. Did you forget that?

    explodicle,

    The invaders are Russian but most Russians have no real control over their government. It’s easy to suggest “then revolt” when that’s not you.

    The link you attached already mentions that isnt accurate. Not everyone living in Russia will publicly annouce they are against their government even if they are.

    Mate you’re the one making assumptions here as I even said seem to despite people literally saying its hard to sympathize with Russians. Either way this is going in a completely unrelated direction and pointless to argue more.

    Define “we”. I don’t know anyone doing that, bar impulsive people on social media.

    For real. Just because Putin is a Bond villain doesn’t make every citizen of Russia one of his goons.

    sqgl, in Israel Closes Al Jazeera Facilities

    BBC admitted it was ‘wrong’ to report that Israel struck the Gaza hospital.

    I doubt AJ will do likewise. A few years ago I caught them lying to discredit g20 protestors.

    Five, (edited )

    To their credit, the g20 video they streamed alongside their false commentary is enough to discredit their interpretation of events.

    All journalism should be subject to verification, especially news from capitalist or authoritarian regimes. It should be noted that the BBC did not say they were wrong that Israel struck the Al-Ahli Hospital, only that they were wrong to report that Israel struck the Al-Ahli Hospital.

    Responsible journalism holds itself to particular standards, such as having reliable sources, or multiple independent indications of evidence. The BBC journalist was speaking live on air, off the cuff, and had no way to reliably verify the source of the explosion besides his gut instincts. Meanwhile Al Jazeera has done significantly more work reporting on this issue, including digital forensics and interviews with military specialists. They won’t retract their statement because it holds up to the highest of journalistic standards. While Jon Donnison was wrong to report what he did, his intuitions appear to have been ultimately correct.

    It should be noted that Israel’s internal reporting does not appear to follow these journalism norms. Arab and Muslim reporters are outraged by the lack of journalistic standards behind some of the reports that have been widely spread to incite public outrage in against Palestinians, when their reporting is held to comparatively impossible standards.

    While Al Jazeera Arabic and the state of Qatar have a justifiably bad reputation, Al Jazeera English is staffed with veteran reporters from Britain, America, and Australia who have distinguished themselves in their field. They consistently outperform the BBC on most metrics of journalism when reporting on anything besides internal Qatari affairs. This is not to say they are flawless or do not make mistakes, only as you continue to hold them accountable, consider the context in which they are reporting and the norms they should be held to.

    sqgl,

    To their credit, the g20 video they streamed alongside their false commentary is enough to discredit their interpretation of events.

    It isn’t “to their credit”. They slipped up by including the visual evidence which proves their reporter lied. The reporter was on site, not in a studio.

    The hospital was not hit by a missile. The car park was. There was no way 500 people were sleeping there. The footage was available the same day.

    In addition, AJ streamed live footage of missiles from Gaza including the one which turned around and (presumably) hit the hospital.

    Meanwhile zero images of the hospital being hit have been released to this day.

    I doubt Israeli newspapers are any better but AJ messed up big time.

    Five,

    I’m disappointed that you’re replicating the flawed asymmetric standards of Israel in this conversation. I’ve linked to sources for my statements, but you’ve made controversial claims while putting the burden on me to find what sources you’re using to bolster your confidence. If your goal is to signify your ‘team,’ this conversation is over. If you would like to try and build a shared reality where we can agree on facts, your lack of respect for me is harming that goal.

    sqgl, (edited )

    You are the one treating this like football teams with your whataboutism re the Israeli newspaper.

    Nevertheless I responded by saying I doubt Israeli newspapers are better but you ignore that part.

    And you characterised the g20 report slip-up as commendable because in your mind they deliberately planted the truth as an Easter Egg for internet sleuths.

    I doubt I am in a discussion with someone who is impartial here. Blocked. No need to aggravate each other further.

    iHUNTcriminals, (edited )

    Definitely. Humanity is fucked. I have this username name because I had some extremly bad people fucking with me and no cops would help me. So now I hate America. I used to look at older people meant to help and guide with tears in my eyes and no one did shit.

    Community is a lie where I am.

    Now I have thick skin and a hardened personality and couldn’t give a shit about anyone or USA or Police.

    It’s a fake community of real monsters only out for themselves and the power they can get to dominate others.

    God is dead. Humanity is dead.

    LinkOpensChest_wav,

    Cops won’t help you or I because we’re not the capitalist class. It’s even worse if you’re a minority. And same with most other people, unfortunately.

    I live in small town South Dakota where people like to imagine they’re friendly, but they’re some of the most fucked up people you’ll ever have the displeasure to meet. I have the bad luck genetically to look like “one of the boys,” and so other men have disclosed to me their most unhinged thoughts and opinions, thinking I’ll agree. Don’t let them fool you – they’d absolutely commit murder or worse to get what they want.

    I often think the best chance we’ve got is to curate a small group of people and live apart from all this. And what my husband’s been through too when he was a child, it makes me enraged. It’s like he says, humans are the most fucked up animal on the planet, and literally everything on earth would be better with us out of the picture.

    I’m gay but basically “straight” in all other ways. So I get the part about people talking about their beliefs too.
