There we go

Zelensky already admitted live that he is not winning the war. Trump said publicly to his face that Ukraine is losing. Zelensky didn't say, no we are winning. Instead he went, Ummm we are standing strong. So if you want to believe that Russia has 2.5x death rate more than Ukraine that is up to you. Russia is unofficially fighting NATO and hired mercenaries. Anyways, I won't go back and forth much. We will interpret the events and facts presented differently.

And reminder... Though you probably know this... We don't send Ukraine checks.

Of course not... Who really uses paper checks anymore?

I agree with a minority of what you've said (Yes that essentially the US is only interested to strip anything of value before Russia takes it over again in 15 years aka this isn't a permanent fix and that Trump essentially wanted his ego stroked. No that Trump is doing it because Putin is his boy and told him to) .... But to nitpick - they've sent money AND military equipment. And I never looked into it, but I remember there were stories of Ukraine selling off some of that equipment because they didn't have the manpower to use it all simultaneously - and it ended up with terrorist groups and the cartels.

Putin might have something compromising on trump, but I'm pretty sure it's just a combination of Trump idolizing Putin and being an old fuck who believes everything he reads on Facebook/sees on the 'news' sources that make him feel the warm fuzzies. If he's actually taking orders we'd be beyond fucked.

The selling of the weapons has been pretty thoroughly debunked, but that didn't stop Tucker from spouting that shit anyways.

If he thought he was winning he wouldn't take a deal to begin with. To clarify the death rate - that's only for soldiers. I can believe that Russia has 2.5x rate there, but I imagine that's probably skewed from the beginning where Russia was basically caught with its pants down. Sieging is also (to my understanding) much costlier than defending.

Russia isn't fighting NATO, though they're fighting NATO technology - and yes, also leveraging mercenaries (and north Koreans). We haven't put boots on the ground and Europe doesn't have the military to do so either.

Now if you want to include the Ukrainian citizens that have been murdered...

How do I get my information off the internet?

I've had the same phone number for 26 years now. I've recently started getting death threats from the mafia and cartel. Pay this fee or there will be problems.

Scared me the first time it happened (they had my name, my wife, and our address) .. Until I thought about it, a Google search of my phone number turns up all of my info

Move to Europe. Or China. Or Japan. Or Australia. Any places that have privacy laws. I'm always amused they have privacy laws but you'll have other problems with China though...

The US? Best you can do is California. No real privacy rights in the US. You can request they delete your information but the data brokers have no obligation to do so... If you can even track them all down. There are about 20 states with varying laws, but only Cali is comprehensive enough to actually mean anything.

Well, that wasn't particularly interesting

Gene Hackman died from heart failure
His wife died from a hantavirus

But the only weird wrinkle is that he died about a week after her. They said he was in advanced stages of alzheimers though

[superbob]

She was his primary caretaker from what I read, she passed away and he, in those advanced stages of Alzheimer's, wasn't taking his heart medication so...

In other words, Bird Flu is now found in cats on the east coast, 70% fatality rate in cats so if you have a cat you let outdoors, i'd say you should probably keep them inside

China slapped us Canadians with 100% tariffs. I wonder if we will keep that Sam's energy we have for Trump and say don't buy anything from China in the media.

How are the cats getting it and at such a high rate?

It would suck seeing your dead wife, freaking out, forgetting about it, then remember and repeating until you die

they probably aren't getting it at a high rate. But generally when a virus hops species...it is incredibly more dangerous/deadly to the new species. Evolution makes the virus "specialized" to the original species so that they are just sick enough for the virus to thrive and reproduce. When it kills the new species, the virus generally dies with it.

Think swine flu (pigs), leprosy (armadillos), lyme disease (ticks), plague (rats), mad cow disease/tuberculosis (cows), monkeypox (monkeys), zika/dengue/malaria (monkeys -> mosquitos), etc etc etc.
