    I guess only in my biased mind is a prediction about the future not a statement about the present.

    Learn about the flow of time.

        are some flying pink elephants around there

        Aye flying, or will fly?

        Since you can’t distinguish present from future

            Ok? Cherry picking much?

            That’s not the conclusion they reached, is it? That’s the observation they’re making upon which they base their conclusions. The conclusion they all reached is that it will have major impacts at some undefined point in the future. But that is inconvenient for the point you’re trying to make.

            And Deripaska, still, really? He only cares about his own pockets.

            (Editor’s note: it is now 2026)

            And I guess the editor is so far up his own ass, that he didn’t realize Russia has been in a recession since end of 2025?

                    I said I will believe it when I see it, since I have seen people say things like the headline of this article for years

                    no you didn’t. Don’t lie.

                    I’ll believe it when I see it. I have been hearing this since 2022 and they’re unleashing more and more ballistic missiles on Kyiv every week

                    Also I never replied to that comment of yours, I commented to your Von der Leyen quote which you implied to be incorrect.
