U.S. And Russian Foreign Ministers To Meet In Iceland To Lessen Tensions

 

Reuters: U.S. and Russian foreign ministers to meet in Iceland in bid to ease friction 

REYKJAVIK/MOSCOW (Reuters) -U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are due to hold talks on Wednesday night ahead of a possible presidential summit in June in an attempt to improve the dire relations between the former Cold War foes. 

The face-to-face talks on the sidelines of a gathering of eight foreign ministers in Reykjavik will be the highest-level meeting since U.S. President Joe Biden took office in January. 

Ties have been fraught since March when Biden - not long into his presidency - said he regarded President Vladimir Putin as a "killer", prompting Moscow to recall its U.S. ambassador for consultations. The envoy still has not returned.

I really do not see what is wrong with sending thousands of random people in every country on Earth. Under the new definition it counts as infrastructure!

Democrats and their leftist extremists partners in crime have done so much damage to the US and its standing as a "democratic republic" that I think the military should finally intervene and hold free and fair elections with voter ID, otherwise you'll never rid yourself of this corruption

And the people who committed and participated in the election theft need to be hold accountable. Otherwise it's over.

If democracy is not restored in the USA, including presumption of innocence and due process(see recent ambush by Maxine Waters) there's no way I'll keep my business in the US. I'm already likely moving it, but I'll wait a few more weeks to see...I still hope something happens, but if not, I'll move on and I know many who think like me and will move their assets. It's just insane what Democrats did. Insane.

So idiot links the FBI videos. IO watched one. Seve3rla tomes, because the idiots did not play the video at normal speed and then slow it down, so it is more than just a blur. Lot of people play video at normal and slo-mo.

What Is say after several rewinds was a guy in pain. Was he pepper sprayed? If he wasn't I think he was in pain, because he was getting hit in the kidneys or whatever from the crush of the crowd. Being pushed forward by a crowd is not a crime.

It reminds me of Push of pike. If you are in front or near the front and the crowd starts going, you are just fucked.

If a crowd forms, you want to be in the back or away from it. Otherwise you are going with the crowd. If you fall demonstrator police, bystander, could be fatal.

Push of pike is not a term many people recognize. although getting skewered, hacked is not likely in crowd in modern times getting crushed to death or having a heart attack, because you are stressed is a real possibility.

We do not use the term push of pike, but we do have the term "press of the crowd" for a reason. People die in crowds. Add to it mob psychology, where people can be courteous individually, but when in a group, if someone for reason good or bad, get something going they will literally tell people to jump to their death.

During the 194 Joelma Building Fire, the crowd in the street shouted for people in the building to jump. Not as nice thing to do.

Someone needs to go back to school and take a few psychology course that were skipped out on the first time around.
