    No, not really. The Russian rockets were known for being as big as ours and somewhat cheaper for a long time but not anymore.

    That is old news, and making a claim in Twitter does not mean he "exposed" something.

    You could be correct .....
    I am not sure....
    but I think that this whole thing once it will be fully understood actually connects even with why P. M. Justin Trudeau got such a cold reception in Europe lately......
    all of this is connected once you get to a certain point........

    Justin Trudeau Publicly Humiliated at Meeting of the EU... is The New World Order in BIG TROUBLE????

    If Elon Musk were to create an internet platform that would appeal to the seventy percent of Canadians who DID NOT vote for Trudeau in the last election..... it could be a hit.....

    (or for the Americans who did NOT vote for Biden)!?

    What do Musk's claims about UN have to do with Trudeau "cold reception"? Does Trudeau own the UN?

    So, Trudeau is the NWO, but all the nations at the meeting are not?

    How can a one man show be a global world order?

    He should create one. We have many political platforms in US that are used by Trump voters (and no one else). Twitter, YouTube, Facebook have hundreds of millions of users and vast majority of the things you see there are NOT political.

    I thought Putin was in the KGB. I've never been in the KGB but I'd venture a guess he's been in a few fist fights in his life. I'm just a former Chicago cop and not counting my abusive parents (I would never hit either of them back) I've been in fist fights. It's hard not to be in physical altercations as a cop unless someone works in an airport or a desk jockey. People don't like to be stopped and they don't like to be arrested. That's kinda a thing. ;-)

    Yeah, maybe... maybe at one point he had some fist fights. The guy however was the high end management in the KGB. That's the place where you would expect that others do the dirty job while you push the much needed pencils. So there is that. I still don't see a +70 year old judo fighter of 5 1/2 feet tall being able win a lot of random fights with 30 year olds who do not need to play along the rules of judo as in kick in the nuts, poke in the eye. It's not karate or something where you get trained against incoming blows.

    I see your point. I guess I figure that a guy that will bomb a maternity hospital probably isn't a stickler about "the rules" of hand to hand combat.

    I see your point that Putin probably won't play by the rules either.
    Yet it remains a 70 year old 5 1/2 feet tall guy who orders somebody to push a button so some hospital gets blows up like in Gaza.
    We're not talking about some Hercules who destroys a hospital with his own 2 hands.
    While his black belt in judo is also not going to safe him.

    Putin is also an outdoorsman. I don't know Musk's "hands on" strengths but...who knows. I am not sure if Putin is really losing his mind or not.

    This whole thing seems just bizarre. The invasion, challenge, weird Russian-bots posting here...all of it seems too contrived to me. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. It just feels "off".

    Putin's wife complaint that he's a workaholic. I know that bare chest image of him riding a horse of a vacation he took. That seemed like a nice fabricated piece of propaganda. I mean... take Trump, there are a zillion pictures of him playing golf with all kinds of people all over the world. While the pictures of Putin being outdoors are all from that 1 and the same vacation.

    I've seen more than one photo of him outdoors but that doesn't mean they aren't staged. The thing that stands out to me is that nobody is afraid of Trump. He's clearly a wimp with a big mouth (that's how bullies are...insecure).

    Putin might be small in stature but the people around him seem to tread lightly. It could be for the same reason as Trump - he's so batsh!t crazy that he's too unpredictable. I don't know. I just don't see him crying about bone spurs or some other dumb@sses hurting his feelings at a Summit. In fact, I don't recall reading very many translated articles about him saying much of anything and experience has taught me the quiet ones are the ones to watch closely.

    I think that's the smallest sumo wrestler I've ever seen.

    People trend around Putin lightly, because some of his opponents "magically" get's poisoned.
    I do expect you to spot a difference with what Putin is physically capable off doing vs what people do for Putin to others.

    Fear is a big motivator.
    Of course. That's no different than people crossing the country to mob attack Capitol police officers for somebody that disparages our military. It's irrelevant what they can do with their own hands. It's very relevant what they can have done.

    But, again, unless Musk has some hidden talents, there's no reason to think he can instantly win in a physical fight against somebody. Did anybody ever seriously ponder if Biden could beat somebody up? I would venture to guess that didn't happen. ;-)

    In this hypothetical situation of Musk vs Putin.. it's not relevant what Putin is able to do to Musk through all kinds of orders. It's a 1 on 1 fight that's never going to happen.

    Musk practices jujutsu and is over 6 feet tall and "only" 50 vs Putin. FYI jujutsu is a far more violent form of martial arts of taking somebody out compared to judo. Basically judo is the weaker version of that sport that leaves out the kill blow and weapons training, to concentrates only on the tossing and pinning.

    I didn't connect the dots. I meant that let's say that Putin accepts the challenge and loses. He isn't likely to let that be the "end" of it. Musk might win that battle but Putin would probably win that war.
    OK. I wish they would. I wish all dumb@ss people just went outside and handled their grievances instead of sending our kids and grandkids into senseless wars. But, I wouldn't make a good politician. I don't have the ability to lie on demand and be practically useless in every possible way. ;-)

    If I was Putin and somehow was forced to a 1 on 1 fight with Musk, I would add the condition that it's going to be held in the great outdoors of Russia where Musk would vanish without a trace.
