The bullion is stored securely in Austria, apparently a common practice for some Governments. This transfer, a mixture of cash, bullion, and valuables, was to move a part of Ukraine's deposit back to Ukraine, presumably to provide a financial boost due to the expense of maintaining a war footing. Orban, a Putin stooge, is playing games.

As far as I can work out, no conflict has ever been won by air power without at least a clear threat of "boots on the ground".

Edit; remember Trump tried to strongarm Zelensky into ignoring the Ukrainian constitution and HOLD elections during a war.

Election dates are set in stone and only Congress can change them. Considering they had Presidential and Congressinal elections in the Civil War, Korean war, Vietnam war, and WW2, there really isn't precedent.

1) Looking tough for the mid-term primaries. 2) Distracting from the domestic economic mess he has created. 3) If you rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War this was probably inevitable.

It was much funnier a couple of days ago with the Sam Allardyce pictures. You are just a sad excuse for a human being desperately trying to be relevant and hoping that somebody equally pathetic will agree with you.

She was probably sacked for not giving Trump a cut. Must have been one hell of an advertising campaign if it cost more than a Hollywood block buster movie.

Only if they come on an RIB.

When this came to light her days were numbered..... https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for the taxpayer-funded campaign.

Given your profile picture...........

Noem has been sacked over allegations of financial impropriety with Departmental budgets. She has been moved to a new position as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas,

So many guns, so many bullets, so many potential 'accidental discharges'.

Kristi Noem testifying to a Congressional Committee said that "We are putting procedures in place to ensure that the 'right people' vote for the right leaders for our country".

Every adminstration official in Washington is at pains to avoid the "W" word. Unfortunately for them, the fat orange man baby in the White House didn't get, or couldn't understand the memo, and keeps referring to it as a war.

For someone who thought the US should "get out of the business of regime change", Trump stating the he must be involved in the selection of the next Iranian leader seems to be a U turn. I suppose they will just keep executing each person selected until there is one He approves of.

Nice to see they are prioritising the really important stuff; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15615693/67-dog-breeds-banned-Britain-list.html

Wrong ! ( No surprise ). He was appointed Governor of the Bahamas in 1940 to effectively get him out of the way for the duration. He resigned from the position before the war ended, ( March 16th 1945 ), and returned to Paris.

Game over before we even go out to bat.

Here we go again, nicking ideas from the Nazis. Typical cuntish behaviour from John.

Churchill was so well regarded that he lost the 1945 GE despite having been the PM through most of the war.

Wet Nelly. To an extent, though you are correct, Starmer is no Churchill - he is not an aristocratic economically illiterate racist who believes in the Darwinian racial superiority of the English.

Looks like England have blown their chance of reaching the final already, conceding 67-1 in the power play, and Brook dropping a "dolly" to reprieve Sansom on 15.
