The US built the SR-71 by purchasing titanium from the Soviet Union through shell companies. There's nothing unusual about this throughout history. If there are no substitutes, one deals with the devil.

Congress banned crude oil imports from Russia, but left a loophole that permits the purchase of products refined from Russian crude provided the refining is done elsewhere. In case you haven't noticed, Congress has rather a bit of difficulty getting anything done at the moment, which is why the loophole remains open.
Thanks for confirming that the US Empire is financing Putin's 'war machine'. While admonishing others, who want to trade with Russia claiming, 'you're financing Putin's war machine'. No wonder the Global South call the west hypocrites.

The US Empire is only concerned about number one and will wage trade wars, proxy wars and directly get into shooting wars to get its way. But as you know, that hegonomy is being challenged big time throughout the world. And it's causing paralysis in government and major splits in the country. Made worse by a shattered debt ridden economy.

And you're correct the US Empire does get into bed with the devil. In Ukraine with the fascist mob that waged civil war, against those in the Donbass and other places, in 2014. Including murdering 39 trade unionists in Odessa. And continue to laud, train and finance the nazi types. And they certainly get into bed with the devil big time with those occupying Palestine to the tune of billions of dollars.

Of course, you don't need to reply to anything I write. You do know that. Or is this ,response a 'Turing test'. I must have missed that when I say my Bootle School Leavers Exams in 1970. A great year it was as well.

Bootle School ?

Leavers Exams ?

Bootle School > never existed.

Leavers Exams > not In the UK.

Must try harder with those lies Vlad.

Seeing that you ask.
As you well know you could leave school at 15, or you could say on and take O levels or CSEs. But at 15 in Bootle, all kids took Bootle School Leavers Exams even the Grammar schools, both Protestant and Catholic, both boys and girls schools.

After what is now year 8 you chose subjects and then we're put in either Science or Arts stream. I was in Science and came across the most condescending divvy I've had the misfortune to meet. He was the Physics teacher and his favourite go to was, 'i've study for years and can't put information into your brain, boy'.

Come his Physics exam a number of us decided to go in, put our name on the paper and just sit there. An exam strike. During the duration of the exam, teachers and the head took us out and thretened us with the cane. But we stook to our guns. The upshot was, parents were called in and we had to go into the heads office. Who wasn't so tough when confronted with a parent.

That wasn't the only strike we had. The RE teacher was the most vicious teacher going, who took great delight in inflicting pain. He caned a lad on the backside 6 times for mistaken about identity over a noise. When we went into PE to get changed he showed someone the weeping marks. We refused to get changed, and again the head came down and we just sat there. Same procedure, parents called in and again, not so tough.

Strikes were quite common around our area in Netherton, with the English Electric routinely going on strike. My dad was a shop steward and a strong trade unionist. It rubbed off on me. So when there were trade unionists killed in Odessa in 2014, by a fascist mob. I knew which side I was on. That fascist mob then launched a Russaphobic Banderite assault on those in the Donbass, who took up arms to protect themselves, with the ensuing civil war now in motion.
 
Just curious. But why? Cos you didnt like the teacher?
In the first year of Secondary Modem school its a big change from Primary, as everyone knows.. What he used to do to those that had just started. Was line us up, lead us in and line us up again. He'd go to the front and say take a seat. We'd sit down then he said, the works on the board, you have an exercise book, wrote your name on it and your form. Then do the work. He'd disappear into the dividing room between his Physics lab andthe Chemistry lab. Where he and the chemistry teacher would drink tea and smoke.

We'd sit down, look at the board and not knowing what to do. After a while, some poor sod would go to the door, knock on it and he would appear and say, yes. I don't know what to do was the kids reply. Upon which he'd launch into a rage of anger, culminating in don't disturb me again this lesson.

He was setting the scene. A bully. Who when he did teach was a condescending, arrogant pr*ck. He was like that for the 4 years I was there. Exam strike time was payback. When our parents got called in they told the head what they thought of him. Needless to say, he didn't dare come into the heads office.
