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.

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

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...

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

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

BEIJING (AP) — China on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs on some Canadian farm and food imports, after Canada imposed duties in October on Chinese-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products.

The new duties become effective March 20, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council. Additional 100% tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25% tariffs will apply to pork and aquatic products.

China didn't say they wanted to annex Canada, the tariffs were put on China first, and the 100% is on things most Canadians don't care about. Also China wasn't a close ally then turned dipshit and betrayed you.

Already coyotes up and down the east coast, generally better not to let them out at all.

I realllyyyyy wanted to add covid, but apparently there's still nothing definitive about it's origins so I can't. Lame.

Stumbled on a guy on YouTube that puts up cooking shorts showing easy ways to make fancy things (or just breaking down fancy things to easy steps). https://m.youtube.com/@SauccEats/shorts

Thought some of y'all might be interested. I watched a few and thought "oh I should save those for later," which means I'm going to have a few tabs open for years and never reference them again.
