I will wait for a source before assuming this is accurate.

Absolutely ridiculous how the world allowed this to happen. Instead of Iraq they should have use their energy to negotiate a lasting peace.

Polish opposition set to win election, according to exit poll

So the Polish prime minister is out? He made some big commitments to military spending. I'm going to have to do a little homework and see if the opposition party there is in support of keeping up that military spending commitment or scaling it back.

Zadorov will probably be open to the trade now. Calgary is a fucking mess 

Ya get out. I really like Zadorov. Big, strong and seems to be progressing on his overall game. I live in Calgary so I actually watch him a fair bit and he's only been getting better.

Only thing is...if he is implicated, the AHL is going to ban him too you'd think.

I would absolutely think so. I was only saying that because I don't think any NHL team wants to take a chance on him as they likely know he's implicated in it.

Seems wild to be that a 30-point guy who's only 24 couldn't land a contract. Has his play really fallen off that much? If he bad defensively or something?

I think it has more to do with the hockey Canada scandal.

the link here is the use of funding from Iran of Hamas and using things like bitcoin. Russia and Iran are allies and I have no doubts whatsoever that Russia is providing money as part of this. 

 

Iran has loomed large as one of Hamas’ most generous financial backers, providing the militant group crucial resources it needs to carry out acts of terrorism. But investigators in the US and across the globe have identified another revenue source being exploited by Hamas: Far-flung online donors offering support in cryptocurrency.

Even before Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel over the weekend, Justice Department officials in Washington, D.C. had been pursuing a criminal investigation into the militant group’s use of cryptocurrency through alleged money launderers, CNN has learned.

I don't believe for a second the Iran leaders care one iota about the average Palestinian, or Iranian for that matter. Hating Jewish people, yep.

 

There are other ways to show your displeasure with Israel than what Hamas did, come on. 

 

 

bitcoin my friend, its funding a lot of creepy shit in the ME. 

 

 

not Putin's Russia. He will use whatever means he can to sow problems for the west. 

 

 

I didn't put Putin on that pedestal. But they are trying to cause a lot of problems for the west, not sure why you're being naive on that?

 

So I'll quickly respond on Russia and then I'll leave it at that. So we aren't going in the wrong direction in this thread. Although if you claim it's relevant, I guess it wouldn't be derailing. I'm not even sure Russia has the capacity or capabilities to be doing anything outside its borders right now. I think they are begging for winter to come because I think they're almost losing the capacity to control what's happening at their own borders and I believe Putin is very fearful of doing any more sort of military call-ups. I mean obviously I could be wrong. I just don't think this has anything to do with Russia. As for what Hamas did, I don't support that attack at all ever, but I understand it was bound to happen, especially when you don't have any means to strike military targets. I certainly never said it was okay if that's what you're misunderstanding.

But that doesn't really explain Iran's involvement (and likely Russia) to destabilize the region.

So first off, it absolutely does explain Iran's involvement in my opinion because they are sick of what they've seen over the decades would be my guess coupled with the fact they absolutely hate the jewish race. As for Russia I don't think they played any role in this whatsoever. Russia is a nation that helped create a state for the Jewish people. Until I see compelling evidence to tell me otherwise, I'm going to go with this belief because we are living in a world where some of you are making it out to be that Russia is the most powerful thing to ever exist because everything is blame on Russia and I just don't buy that. They're getting to the point in my opinion that they are just some piddly Eastern European country with a huge stock pile of nuclear weapons.

Human shield casualties is equivalent to targeting day care centers and killing babies?  I hope there is restraint soon but to compare the two as the same is very reaching.

I guess when Israel attacks Gaza constantly guess when Israel attacks Gaza constantly upto upto this conflict and there’s civilian death that’s just collateral damage? No one says what happened last week was justified but neither is the egregious deaths caused by Israeli attacks. Yet One side gets praised for it, gets glossed over or it’s a non issue.

Every news source is covering this, how can you say it's being glossed over?  What's happening in Gaza is being reported literally everywhere and I haven't seen any media site praise anything. If what you're watching is praising any of this then you're consuming some biased weird YouTube or Tic Tok videos, and I recommend you stop watching that shit for your own peace of mind and sanity.

In my opinion, that's not what he's saying he's saying before this conflict and it seems quite clear and then you turned around and told him everybody is covering it. I think he's talking about before the conflict.

Erik Brannstrom

Defense -- shoots L
Born Sep 2 1999 -- Eksjo, Sweden 
[24 yrs. ago] 
Height 5.10 -- Weight 185 [178 cm/84 kg]

Drafted by Vegas Golden Knights

- round 1 #15 overall 2017 NHL Entry Draft

 

 

We have this type of player already in Rathbone and as well don't think Brannstrom was ever on our radar anyway.

 

Ya a few years back there was a lot of hype with EB not now. I hate to give @Alflives credit but Brannstrom is a "bustaroo."

You certainly aren't the bearer of bad news. You are just speaking truthfully and it's a little bit mind-boggling how people think he's worth so much more. If we had to trade him right now I would be more than happy with this return.

Long live Palestine!

Long live Israel!
