Really depends on the kind of paper. Used to habe to do technical drawings, and there is indeed a distinct smell to certain kinds of paper, but not your usual copy-grade sheets.

The US is an Israeli colony it seems then

They are not "murky", it's completely merged and privatised to a centralised corporate entity.

People are into sunk costs and book well in advance. A lot of that 30% is no-money-back cancellations.

Wait until you see next year.

You can't use the think of the children line

Or having the members, the respective heads of states, on whose words the entire European and actually world press hangs, promote and politicise it.

This article contains a shitton of falsehoods and omissions. The tankies were wrong.

Király was not a fascist. He served in the Royal Hungarian Army as a career soldier, joining after his father before the rise of fascism.

He did indeed serve in the invasion army of the fascistic Horthy regime as a captain, and he was indeed put in command of Jewish slave labourers, for which he received the Righteous Among the Nations accolades, as he treated them as humanely as the situation allowed, defying his orders, risking execution.

He was kept on with the Hungarian People's Army, promoted by the communist leadership multiple times. He married Gömbös' niece under Communist rule, way after it would have been politically advatageous. Despite that, he was put in command of the Hungarian participation of Stalin's planned invasion of Yugoslavia.

He fell out of favour after the invasion was cancelled and was caught up in one of Rákosi's purges, and he spent the three years after in abysmal conditions until the 56 revolution. He got out a month before because of the buildup to the revolution had some political prisoners released. He spent the next month until the revolution in hospital.

The Nagy provisional government asked him to organise the defense against the Soviet invasion, which he tried and understandably failed. He then left for the US along with hundreds of thousands, and got a job as a CIA trainer for Cuban anti-communist insurgents, which got him in the JFK files.

Then the Putin government put those files out and started a coordinated propaganda campaign to whitewash the genocide and rape the USSR committed.

BTW I'm a leftist and think the CIA is the scum of the earth on par with the SS, but let's stick to the facts.

Destroy state oversight of corporate oversight of media and communication.

The EC absolutely has the marketing budget to change that though.

Technically the Moskva was the Black Sea Fleet flagship, not the overall flagship of the Russian Navy.

That's the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, which can't even move under its own power, and its air complement couldn't be replenished since the 80s.

Why invade when they can colonise without invasion?

There is no point doing that as long as the Belt and Road takes over old Russian aligned states' infrastructure and the kids of the Moscow elite start learning Mandarin, both of which is happening.

I expect when climate change melts the permafrost, the companies exploiting Siberia's riches will be all Chinese. If Russia is luckier than most, they will at least employ Russians for the more menial jobs. As long as they can speak fluent Mandarin.

They were already importing arillery shells, and they are out of Soviet reserves.

They won't collapse, but they will drift even more into the Chinese sphere of influence, while they have already lost their own.

Point is, the West and China can keep Ukrainians and Russians killing each other as long as they don't stop funding either side, which will then collapse pretty much immediately.

In any case, Russia is pretty much done as a world power, and the only two questions is whether the US and the EU will become independent world players after Trump, and when the killing will actually stop.

It's a purely political question, because both China and the EU can keep this up forever.
