Did they dirty bomb Europe?
How are those extremely high radiation levels coming?

russian troops allowed Ukrainian firefighters to put out the blaze so levels didn't rise all that much.

Sounds like you are disappointed about that.

Is vlad planning more attacks on nuke plants?

Ukrainian BMW convertible outfitted with a machinegun

Way to go....

Am reminded of several teenage fantasies I had about a station wagon with a sunroof.

I wonder if I can fit my 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro with a machinegun mount (thru it's sunroof)?

We aren't EVER going to come together as 'one America

We will still work together on things of national and international importance

That sounds a lot to me like coming together as one America.

Democrats can't just wave a magic wand and make the consequences of their actions disappear.

While this isn't the place for punditry....

I'm a Democrat.....
I'm a Republican....
I'm a Libertarian....

I'm an American FFS....

I care about you, I care about your issues....I dont want us to agree on policy, i want us to compromise on policy. I implore you however, think about what in the grand scheme of things, is most important. To me, it's our Constitution and our people, which includes you and me...is it really what "party" is in the oval? I mean seriously, is it? Is it $5000 a year for Health insurance instead of $7500 a year? Is it who gets to deliver the oranges to Wakefern in a more timely fashion? What is the redline that finally throws you over the threshold saying "today would be a good day to want to kill my neighbor, my fellow American"?

Does it all sound as ridiculous to you as it does to me?

SMDH..... i think i've said my piece here, Democracy and our way of life hangs in the balance man, i wont die on the hill of Democrats versus Republicans....i value us all.

Sure, there was only one video.

Why were russians attacking nuke plants?

Putin's morbid answer for dealing with Ukrainian snipers: Call in a artillery strike.

I do agree with military assessments...that any funneling of weapons from China to Russia --- like weaponized drones, for example --- will be a major escalation with the current war in Ukraine.

China is already distancing itself from Russia they will not prop up Russia they will help destroy it. Vladivostok used to be Qing dynasty's Manchurian homeland named Haishenwai but was annexed by Russia in 1860 after China's second opium war defeat. but China doesn't forget they will get it back either by force or negotiation, Putin will have to give up this territory if he truly wants Chinese help. Until then China is more than happy to take advantage of Russia for example offering them below market value rates on oil. because they know Putin has no other options

Marina Ovsyannikova: Russian journalist fined after TV protest

Breathtakingly brave individual! She deserves the Nobel peace prize, but i fear it may have to be posthumous, or least delivered to her in prison.

But here's hoping that she gets a better deal than Julian Assange got from the West when he dared to air the truth.

She got a 300$ fine and gets to keep her job

OMG

They said the fine was for the video she uploaded before she crashed the live news show. That sounds to me like the punishment for the sign hasn’t been decided, or announced yet.

But you’re saying that absolutely 100% there’ll be no more punishment for her?

How exactly can you be so certain?

a reply to: alphabetaone

Very well put. This absoluteness about one side or the other is ridiculous. There are many here I've not agreed with or agreed with me, however there are things we have agreed on. I have no personal ill will or absolutes. We are all Americans. We love our country even with its faults. If an outside source were to threaten us, I certainly wouldn't say, " no, I can't work with you because your party did this or that. "

We are all Americans at the bottom line. If you can't support your fellow Americans because they don't believe as you, then that's a serious problem. Instead of taking up arms together I would have to worry you would shoot me in the back because you believe we're not really being invaded, or it's some sort of deep state conspiracy and the Vax turned us all into zombies or something.

I don't need Patriotism shoved down my throat or to attend a rally. This county took my family in and they worked hard at being Americans. My now blended family of different races and ethnicities are happy, joyous and prospering. I'm not sorry we don't have such blind anger about the other political party. Must be a miserable way to live.

As a reminder -

Just so people know and understand. Information from war zones can become confusing as there will no doubt be info released from the players (on both sides) involved that might not necessarily be true.

As such take everything as a possibility and NOT as absolute truth.

The very first casualty in a war is the truth and all warfare is based on deception
