Fort. Your behind the curve mate.
I posted about Albanian gangs paying politicians and taking over the drug trade and the uncertainty it brings, back in April. I also said that Lasso would step down,
"The murders of three young women in Ecuador has cast a spotlight on an explosion of violence in a country which has been brought to its knees by drugs gangs.". Headlines in pb americas
Just been reading about the problems equador has with kidnappings and murders of the countries elite. Not to mention the drug cartels heavy involvement in illegal mining.
Be interested to know what the views are of those far more knowledgeable than me. Bearing in mind it's now the number one murder and kidnapping center of south america. Surpassing Columbia".
I was met with across the board ridicule.
Fdjyn, Copperpot, dbw, bubble and many others,
They were going to make a Hollywood blockbuster, it had nothing to do with mining, I was a complete idiot infesters, and much more abuse from others. Padmaster even wrote me one of his knicker wetting ditties.
Funnily enough I think your words at the time said something like, whoa here come the Albanian bogey men.
Funny old world
Sigh. Haters gonna hate.
I could invite you round for cena, serve you antipasti Toscani misti, with a well-chilled prosecco or handmade spritz, followed by a wonderful primo, pasta a dente, col sugo, ( cinghiale is more of a winter choice, so perhaps my wife's favourite of ricotta e basilico fresco ) served with a fine vino bianco Pomino Frescobaldi, followed by secondo ( qualcosa semplice .... carne misto alla braccia con l'insalata fresca, per esempio ) served with a Barolo, ( Northern wine, I know, but superior to a Chianti nonetheless ) then dolce ( perhaps served with Vin Santo, but that is more for Christmas and therefore not one of my preferred choices, not a huge fan of vini dolci, btw ) and then caffe. Grappa and limoncello, as a digestivo, to round it all off.
But I am a bot and an invention of those naughty Russkies, so ignore my backstory and carry on, chaps. It's amazing what an AI can come up with, these days !!
Cute that the trolls have learnt to try and create family back stories. Sharing misinformation about oil reserves and using these as a false flag for the invasion of a sovereign state was, by no coincidence whatsoever, one of the examples the documentary creators chose. So I ask again, why wouldn't the troll posting as Kat be a bit smarter about it? Why wouldn't they start steady, get some folk onside and then go for the big lies? Seems just too blatant, but maybe they are a blunt tool designed to win over other blunt tools (hey slug ๐ Worked out that 47 is higher than 36 yet?!)
I think they just want to go to the shops without being murdered! Sounds horrific and Ecuador seriously in need of getting a grip on criminals / gangs etc. There was an article many moons ago that highlighted the alternative view on why many were supporting the anti mining / eco warriors in last elections. Basically it highlighted that artisans or illegal mining was rife in and around known resource discoveries. No wonder they don't global mining... they are happy chipping away a few carats for themselves for free. Throw in the drugs gangs and and what goes with that and you have a scenario not too dissimilar to Colombia. So no wonder the people of Ecuador are crying out for a Government that will crack down harder on illegal activity and protect people more. That in my opinion suits Correa and his representative Luisa. Correa knows how to deal with the drug lords. It's never about eco issues... it's always about money and power.
This kat2008 idiot is a nasty piece of work.

Just a first info point, but no smoke without fire.......
There aren't massive oil and gas untapped reserves in The Ukraine.
The oil, gas and coal reserves are well-known. They are in the Donbass, hence the desire by The Ukraine to conquer and occupy those lands.
The Ukraine has made its money by being a transit hub for Russian fossil fuels. It has been paid a fee for allowing Russian gas to transit through its territory.
It has very little fossil fuels, and don't be tricked into believing otherwise.
Well if you had followed the news BP & shell i think had just signed a multi billion dollar contract to exploit the massive oil & gas fields in Ukraine . then Mr putin decided he wants it. now do you see our interest.
There are people who don't share your views, Ag .
Must be some kind of plot, eh ?
Pure projection on your part, sonny.
I'm sure , if I met you, we would have far more in common that with Sunak or Putin.
Wishing you a happy eve with your folks. I am looking forward to enjoying a summer sojourn with my wife and daughters in Follonica.
I hope that you will have a joyful summer hols with your loved ones.
Life is what you make it.
Lot of stuff on the radio recently about Russian troll farms. Kat fits the bill perfectly, but you'd think these farms would do more to disguise the origin of their propaganda. Clearly not! Gets into every area of the internet, not just BBs. Apparently they are even leaving Amazon reviews that are pro-Putin!
Yes , Jezoo
Theyโre having an urgent board meeting to discuss global warming , the rights of women and the meaning of life in general
Any other business may or may not include the sale of the company ....
Not much happening at SOLG towers today then ?
"Please remind me of the free and fair vote we took across the West / NATO countries, when we all voted and agreed to go to war with Russia and meddle in a Slav barfight."
Ignoring the pathetic ad hominems, what part of this do you object to ? This is a disagreement between two Slav neighbours who are fighting over who controls territory. Please tell me why The Ukraine is any of our business ? When did we all decide that what happens in The Ukraine is important to us, and remind me of the date of that referendum.
Which was the ESA predicting, Slug? Ground or air? And what did that value turn out to be?
I know you want to distract from your mistake, but you can't escape the simple fact you were wrong ๐
"However, the Rus will not now give up their hard won military and economic advantages, also after the Minsk betrayal they regard the West as ' agreement non capable' , as Putin put it. They will continue to pile on the pain to the Eurotrash until they are begging for relief."
Yes. Just because you find this sentiment offensive or disagreeable does not make it false. Unfortunately for us ( I am a Brit and live in Firenze, so I will be suffering as a consequence of this ) we will be punished for our foolishness and arrogance.
I work in the international community, with both the Ukrainian and Russian diaspora here in Firenze. Firstly, they are not showing any of the hatred and prejudice which the pols are showing. They are still hugging each other, going to church together, living their lives as before. These people are not and should not be enemies, yet they have been manipulated into this position.
And our leaders are responsible. We will be punished by a strong and resurgent Russia in years to come, because we have been shiiitty to them since 1992. They even asked to join NATO, but we said NO. So yes, they will squeeze us until it hurts, and they do it knowing that it's the only way to protect themselves, and to teach us a lesson.
We are experiencing nothing less than the epochal ( and I am using this word on purpose ) shift of power from Europe to other parts of the world. This is a 306+ year event ( notice the precise timescale ) and watch it unfurl from now until 2032.
Also posted on poly by you. Once again one of many.
"Please remind me of the free and fair vote we took across the West / NATO countries, when we all voted and agreed to go to war with Russia and meddle in a Slav barfight."
"Slav barfight"
Why would I want to debate with you. You despicable little worm.
Don't bother responding, spend the time looking at what your mate is doing to innocent children.
POLY board holds a conversation re the most important event in geopolitics, namely the SMO in Ukraine.
I had a good deal of fun debating a team of Western propagandists last Sunday, 23rd. I also dropped some truth bombs.
If you, Needalife, disagree with my views, then you are free to debate me on this public forum, rather than cast aspersions and innuendo.
Come across to POLY and let the best woman win.
Byron Bay. Just a little taste of one of your new mate kats posts on poly. One of many similar posts from the fruitcake.
"However, the Rus will not now give up their hard won military and economic advantages, also after the Minsk betrayal they regard the West as ' agreement non capable' , as Putin put it. They will continue to pile on the pain to the Eurotrash until they are begging for relief."
" Euro trash till they are begging for relief," are you proud of that sentence. what an awful cretin you are kat. you and novice deserve each other
Hating women has become a third rail issue. It's been turned into a taboo.
There's nothing wrong with hating women per se; they are intrinsically no more or less worthy of hate than men or any other group.
I know some shiiiiity women, who I justifiably hate. The same goes for men.
Tittts and a chuff don't entitle anyone to a free pass in my world.
Bozi, that was rather my point.
" It's no more absurd than the Osbourne's claim that we were all going to catch untreatable venereal disease. "
Apparently Georgie Boy has stopped hanging around the park after dark, so that danger has receded.
Very nice, Byron. Does it seem like a much hotter year than usual. I have been here in Florence for 15 years and it seems pretty much par for the course.
Firenze.
Whereabouts Kat? I'm based in Veneto
Ha. The company has driven us all to a state of delirium.
