I have the 2, 3 and 4 (with VR). That said, I say stop all video game and console sales for just that very reason. Are you paying attention Nintendo and Microsoft?

Nah. They still have the reverse engineered plans for the IBM 360 knockoffs they were building in the 70's.

Not even vaguely good propaganda.

As an example, the guy on the left, apart from having a number of photoshopping artefacts is dressed in ex British Army DPM (Disruptive Patterned Material) which was phased out in 2009....

Never mind the BBC did a thorough investigation on this in 2016 even showing the same damned pictures......

Russia has tried importing these medical prosthetics from China, but they turned out to be very poor quality knockoffs of the European products and are unusable.

Russia has tried importing these medical prosthetics from China, but they turned out to be very poor quality knockoffs of the European products and are unusable.

Gosh, that's two of the three remaining superpowers on this planet, and between them they can't make a prosthetic knee.

That is so surprising! Maybe they aren't such super powers after all! Maybe GERMANY is the new superpower.

Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn't happen again!
We taught them a lesson in 1918,
And they've hardly bothered us since then!

Yeah, that's by Tom Lehrer. Timely.

Is this for REAL?

PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump has reached out to Vladimir Putin to help Russia file for bankruptcy, the former U.S. President has confirmed.

Calling the Russian economy “in very, very bad, terrible shape” as a result of Western sanctions, Trump said that bankruptcy was “quite frankly” Putin’s only option.

“Bankruptcy is scary the first time you do it,” Trump said. “But once you’ve done it five or six times it’s the easiest and most beautiful thing in the world.”

Trump said that “the first thing Putin should do is stop paying his bills, and that’s something I can show him how to do.”

Great article. Russia is fixin' to steal $10B worth of aircrafts, a decent amount from Ireland.

Bet the EU just sucks it up and doesn't even pause their oil payments to Putin.

Well of course they did.

NEW - (Reuters) - India is considering taking up a Russian offer to buy its crude oil and other commodities at discounted prices with payment via a rupee-rouble transaction, two Indian officials said, amid tough Western sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

It is a pity that all those sanction-violation laws that trump kept throwing at chinese nationals will probably not be applied by biden on koch industries.

There goes that holiday in Siberia, Hunter. You too, Psaki. Even Hillary is persona non grata.

Hmm, what do think that means? Guess it's just a mystery.

U.S. Senate unanimously condemns Putin as war criminal http://reut.rs/3td8FDZ

If there is a silver lining of the tragedy in Ukraine, it is that there a shift back towards the ideology that prioritizes people and democracies.
Seeing this unanimous vote may be some evidence of reason for hope in the world.
