Tossing red meat at wild dogs and shifting history is the name of the game right now.

I laughed .. Trump says .. ‘Zelensky took money from US like candy from a baby’ — instead of .. we gave bunches, massive amounts of money and weapons to Ukraine. A big shift of emphasis everywhere. Of course they cannot expose the Epstein files because their friends are there.

Oops .. this is a segment and sorry, I don’t have anything else but this Telegram clip and I don’t want any more ..
Going off the rails on the theater in the white house with Zelenski. Educational on many levels.

Lots of other things happening. Economically the World Bank just gave a warning .. there is no money left .. the cadres took it all so the world bank says drop the stupid racist laws .. No money.
The IMF may do an emergency bailout. But then they have a rope around their necks forever. There already is a big IMF loan from Covid Times.

In the meantime, all is blamed on the whites. If you get further into that you will see that there is not a government, but still, after all these years, only a ‘fight for liberty’. Reminds me of a Nelson Mandela quote .. Years ago to the country .. If the ANC tries to do to you what apartheid did to us, then you must do the very same to the ANC.

Conditions are dire. The US (Oh man … there is nowhere to go and that is why they went to the US .. you will see in the interview that they do know exactly what role the US played through the years).

I don’t want to write about this. In fact, I want to write and put something together but I cant .. I find myself just unable and I find other things to do – I get tired, I sweep the house, I go and make a coffee, I decide to take a rest .. I just cannot.

The Trump administration saw the community groups that went to visit. Up to this moment, they have not seen the ‘government’. Expected is sanctions on all of the ANC leaders, perhaps general sanctions and for sure they will lose AGOA – the free trade agreement – as they have grossly exceeded the rules of the agreement. 20% of the country’s income and thousands of jobs ..

Listen to it if you can. They are not socialist at all, hate communism (because of what they see as local communism).

BRICS won’t help, Russia won’t help, China won’t help because the problem is systemic – and they also do not want to see these racist laws. I just watched a little clip from the Mayor of Gauteng .. Johannesburg. Cool as a cucumber he says that there are only a few roads without deep potholes and with working lights .. and those are the ones that they fixed for the G20. Falling apart stage.

Poor Babies!

America, give this a listen. This is how our closest allies now view us. @MarshSongs pic.twitter.com/K9iIa8yMRn

Nico, this fellow is asking for another chance for the US right now because …. Trump.  The poor deluded .. well … Ritter always does this .. find some cause he can run towards that makes him feel good and he preaches it brother. Tomorrow it will be ingrowing toenails.

And then he tries to scare an Indian guy with being dead because of a nuclear war.   Who will start such a thing?  Just think.  Since ripper turned Trump he rewrites history just as fast as Trump and Netanyahu does.

I wonder if we all know why Trump wants the rare earths – at least his Good for Ukraine excuse?

He says … US staff, engineers and miners and so on will be in the Ukraine and Russia will not attack Ukraine.  Stupid stupid man!  If there is not security and indivisible security Russia will keep on shooting.   Trump cannot fix this problem and it irks him terribly!  He wants to be the hero!  Scott, since he turned full-on Trump – his new cause – has gone stupid.  They all go dilly.

Trump is trying to break free?  Oh Puhleeeze.  He is trying to balance his budget by plundering everything else he can plunder from others.   Nothing has changed.  Just Scott has picked up Trumpism.  I cannot even tell you what they say about him in other war theaters.  There is a word .. verbal diarrhea.   Aaargh .. life is too short to give Trump a chance.  The stupid US killed Europe and Europe enthusiastically participated.

Cheers.

He has on hell of a resume or CV but he seems a technical guy.

Biography
Alexander Darchiev-diplomat, Russian Ambassador to the United States, former head of the Embassy in Canada (2014-2021).

Early years, education
Alexander Darchiev was born on May 14, 1960 in Hungary in the family of a diplomatic worker.

In 1983, he graduated from the History Department of Moscow State University and entered the postgraduate program of the Institute of the USA and Canada of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Three years later, he defended his dissertation on “Left-liberal forces in the social and political life of the United States, 70-80-ies” and received the title of Candidate of Historical Sciences.

Until 1992, he was a research associate at the Institute of the USA and Canada.

Diplomatic career
In 1992, Darchiev joined the diplomatic service. He started his career in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Department of North America, and in the mid-1990s became the head of the department there.

From 1997 to 2002, he was an adviser to the Russian Embassy in the United States.

In 2003, he became Deputy Director of the North America Department.

In 2005, he returned to the United States and worked for five years as an adviser-envoy of the Russian Embassy.

In 2010, he returned to Moscow and became head of the North America Department.

On October 24, 2014, he was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Canada.

Darchiev’s service in Canada comes at a time when relations between the two countries have seriously deteriorated due to the annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Since March 2014, Moscow and Ottawa have consistently tightened sanctions against each other. A major expansion of restrictive measures occurred in 2022 after the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine. In an interview with TASS, Darchiev, who had already returned to Russia, said that Canada “long ago abandoned an independent foreign policy.” In an interview with Interfax in the same year, heHe said that” since the historic reunification of Crimea with Russia, ” the United States and Canada “have been whipping up Russophobic hysteria in unison.”

In January 2021, he returned to Russia and again took up the position of Director of the North America Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (in January 2025, it was renamed the North Atlantic Department).

In 2022, commenting on the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, Darchiev called the Russian military operation “a forced measure that disrupted the scenario of the actual genocide of Russians in the former Ukrainian territories.” He also said that Russia is open to an” honest and mutually respectful dialogue “with the United States” to the extent that the United States is ready for this.”

Appointment as US Ambassador
In November 2024, it became known that Alexander Darchiev became the most likely candidate for the post of Russian ambassador to the United States after the resignation of Anatoly Antonov a month earlier. In December of the same year, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the United States welcomed a new candidate for the post of ambassador to Washington, although he did not mention Darchiev’s name at the time.

On February 18, 2025, a meeting of the Russian and US delegations was held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, where the parties discussed the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine and other issues. These were the first large-scale talks between representatives of the two countries in recent years, including since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine.

At that meeting, the parties agreed to restore the number of embassy staff in Moscow and Washington.

Russia and the United States have repeatedly exchanged expulsions of diplomats. The number of embassy staff in both countries has been declining significantly since 2016, when the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats. In response, in 2017, the Russian Foreign Ministry suggested that the State Department bring the number of diplomatic and technical staff of the American embassy in Moscow, as well as consulates general in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok, in line with the number of Russian diplomats and employees in the United States. After that, the staff of American diplomatic institutions in Russia was reduced by 755 people, to 455.

In 2021, Washington imposed new sanctions against Moscow and announced the next expulsion of Russian diplomats. Russia responded by restricting the work of the US embassy, which caused the United States to dismiss 182 employees of its diplomatic mission.

After 2022, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov assessed the level of relations with Washington as low. “There are practically no contacts, with the exception of discussing the conditions for the functioning of our diplomatic missions in the United States and the work of their diplomats in the Russian Federation. < ... > The conversation is so tedious, proposals are pouring in one direction or the other,” the minister noted.

On February 27, Istanbul hosted talks on normalizing the work of diplomatic missions. The Russian delegation was led by Alexander Darchiev, and the United States was represented by Sonata Coulter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Eurasia.

On February 28, the Foreign Ministry reported that during the negotiations, the United States handed over to Russia a note with Agreman on the appointment of Darchiev as the new Russian ambassador to Washington.

Diplomatic rank and awards
Darchiev holds the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary (2016).

Awarded the Orders of Friendship (2019) and Honor (2022).

Personal life
Darchiev is married and has a daughter. His wife’s name is Tamilya Akhmetzhanova. There is no other detailed information about the diplomat’s family in open sources.

Darchiev speaks English and French.

After today and watching that mess at the UN and at the UNSC, I came across this:

I’ll update on South Africa as soon as I have a moment. The government cannot balance a budget and have no more money left. This is what Ramaphosa had to run from the G20 to go and do, make speech to try and calm down the population.

Mr Lavrov is going to Iran for his next trip which is imminent.

Just moments ago and there is very little information available, the leader of SAAI (biggest family farm union in South Africa – Southern African Agri Initiative) was arrested. The price of not toeing the government line on expropriation without compensation?

Rampahosa’s next international visitor is the acclaimed pretend president from country 404, Zelenski himself.

Comments are scorching .. You just pissed off Trump you moron! Now you want to piss off Putin – voetsek! which is a local word for FU.

The scandals are not ending. The USAid money has dried up, and all kinds of health workers cannot be paid salaries. Apparently, a large portion of South Africa’s health sector salaries were paid with USAid money.
