  1. Just to make sure pp understand, the 1000s they refer to is a whopping crowd of 200,000 people. Even if size can be questioned we can safely say its not 1000s but 10,000s.

  2. His acting skills are very good. He plays president better than in the series.

  3. So Ukraine bombs the power plant but then cries wolf. Come on. The world will hold Ukraine accountable if there is major disaster. 1. Ukraine claims Russia has lots of military equipment near the plant 2. Ukraine claims Russia shelled their own heavy hardware ;)))))

  4. Well the ad is maybe a bit childish. But so is our current PM. The ad accurately portrays our current PM. Should the ad be more mature? Maybe. But we live in "funny" times when JT can actually be elected as PM. So maybe just go down to IQ of 80 and be happy. Everyone knows election is a grab for power to be held on September 20th when Covid is expected to have almost 10x as much cases as today. Canadians need to unite and show this selfish man he does not belong in the seat of Canadian PM.

  5. Ukraine already lost the war - they cannot meet their goals. Instead of escalating the war by sending tanks to Ukraine, which would only prolong the war, a much better approach is to end the war through dialogue - less people killed. NATO idea to fight to the last Ukrainian may be good for NATO / US but certainly is not good for anyone in Europe - which Germany clearly sees. After first 100 tanks are sent, what is the grand plan? Send another 100, than another 100? We end once there are no drivers?

  6. They need to stay there for a long time - weeks, maybe over a month & make sure they are very visible and vocal. Anything less and they as well may not have started in the first place.

  7. Ukraine is free to do so as well, who is preventing them? Why Ukraine did not allow people of Donbass to be free and pursue their dreams? Do Kiev regime rights trump other rights?

  8. Targets were: - weapon storage warehouse for US made coastal defense. - ships(s) used to transport weapons from Romania - two Su-27 fighter jets - airport strike I do not see anything that can be used by Ukraine to say its "unfair" all targets were military and most (all?) were taken care off.

  9. US is very close to the #'s that imply everyone whom wanted it got it. Meanwhile in Canada we still did not even deliver 1st does to all people that wanted it - and 2nd does is many months in the future.

  10. At the current pace of advance Russia helping DPR in their liberation of Donbass should reach their goal in about three weeks. There has been a lot of talking about security zone around Donbass. I am sure Russia will not mind grabbing a lot of Ukraine proper to create such zone. There is also the question of Odessa.

  11.  @Unknownplayer0012  Exactly - all they had to do after 2014 was to just go with Minsk agreement they signed. This would mean no NATO and getting Donbass back. But by 2014 Nationalist Forces started to play more and more important role. Few pp know that Zielinski was a dictator whom had like 23% support in his country and arrested opposition. With zero support he turned to Azov and friends. By 2022 Azov and friends was one of the most powerful of forces in Ukraine - there was zero chance of any "Minsk". I think Putin should have went for it years earlier - I think hoping that Z would do something different was a pipe dream.

  12. We all have to note that most people that party whole night till at least 4AM while at the same time are on call and paid would be eventually fired.

  13. Patrick Lancaster has been reporting from the area for over a week now. He is showing war as it is. There is also another guy there as well in Mariupol with him.

  14. Lukaszenko's plan is to simply deploy 10s of thousands of migrants and overwhelm Polish services. Migrants are a perfect weapon - they are self founding and even get him $$$. Weapon that pays the user! Meanwhile it cost Poland a lot of $$$. When it gets cold things will be even worse - image pictures of frozen kids. Timing was well done.

  15. Lets make fair deal then Mr. Blinken. Russia can have nukes in Cuba and Venezuela and you can have some in Ukraine. Heck, its even a US sided deal - as US nukes threated Moscow while Russian ones only Miami.

  16. We need to ban or at least break up Facebook and other major IT companies. This monopoly is not good for our society.

  17. How could they discovered the graves if they have crosses on them and all have numbers? Many have names as well? In one example a victim of a bombing was first buried in a backyard, then buried in that cemetery and now its again moved (!) You can see all crosses in the video.

  18. Well soldier said 5 to 10 days - so looks like ceasefire is almost here - I think he meant that AZ is running out of flat land to take over. Remember he was explicitly authorized to say this.

  19. Nobody can have guns but you need a tank to drive in some areas. Gun laws at work.
    12
  20. Actually I would stop most aid - it is almost certainly deliberate provocation from Ukraine - i.e. they fired S-300 at Poland on purpose with a claim it was an accident.

  21.  @JS-ip8xm  Thinking of the days of glory for Nazis?

  22. Sarcasm?

  23. In other news the leaders of Indigenous people claim the apology is hollow. Apparently more action is needed. Especially in check writing department.

  24. There must be more to the story - both Canadian and British politicians have partied during COVID and broken the rules but at no time anyone questioned "drug use". There clearly must be evidence to even ask such question. Also we had picture/ video evidence of such partying from both Canadians and British sources. Also she did not flatly deny drug use....

  25. B/c you would find the voice of the other side, which may conflict with state sponsored narrative.

  26. It should be pointed out that Ukrainian military places their artillery in school parking lots. As per drone images. Then they complain school got hit. It was now a military target. Same way as in Palestine locals place their rockets near schools or places of warship and then complain Israel fires at these locations. Solution to this conflict is through diplomacy. Unfortunately Ukraine refused to implement Minsk agreements it has signed and Russia decided to do diplomacy through use of tanks. The only way to stop tanks is at the table.

  27. No. Not with our taxpayer money.

  28. Well said. Canadians need to wake up and remove liberals!

  29.  @cyril9759  This is clearly temporary place to have people "stored". It was summer you had to put them somewhere. At first pp were put in their own back yards but authorities decided its best to move them somewhere else. Most of the people there were killed during artillery exchanges and bombings. I am disgusted by Ukraine using their own dead people for propaganda purposes. I am unhappy that Russia / DPR forces did not simply store pp in say rail road car and allowed slow "normal" burial. Sure it would require like 6 or more rail cars to be filled with rotting human remains but still feels better then make 460 crosses & dig 460 holes.

  30. Sure, if I were pp of Finland I would fire her for doing private things on government dime. Just like anyone else normal would be fired.

  31. She was on duty but forgot her work phone... I guess if there is emergency in Finland they just need to wake up the President as PM is passed out in the corner somewhere.... Zero responsibility.... and this is not her first time either. Imagine what is really going on if the PM is found to be doing this like 2x a year - she must be partying every other weekend... Maybe even during weekdays...

  32. Well obviously a provocation but with a very good excuse. S-300 are not really a good defense weapon against low flying cruise missiles - usually one would use short - medium air defenses for the task. A cruise missile is essentially a low flying aircraft while S-300 system is optimized for long range interception. Central Lwow is around 70km from target in Poland, missile max range is around 75km - doubtful it was "gliding anywhere" as it was supposedly shot at low flying target. Also the 75km range in thick air down low seems suspect. Also hitting a village is about as likely as shooting a deer, missing and having your round travel 1000m more in the forest and hitting someone picking mushrooms. It does happen but its rather super rare. 99% it was a provocation and Mr. Z ordered the hit.

  33. Our PM does not pay for his heat but we DO! Down with this evil man - people do not want to be cold in the winter!

  34.  @ronbraid4478  The problem with schools is that feds changed the rules and made education a backdoor to Canada. You go to cheap, low level "college" for "cheap low level course" and just like that you got your foot in. Also your wife or husband can get a work permit. Heck, you can bring your kids as well... And all b/c you are going to school studding to be say Medical office manager ;) THAT is the issue.

  35. Mariupol is NOT under siege - only AzovStal plant is where remnants of Azov Nazi are hiding. Other then civilians that are with Azov cannot leave or are in danger. All others are outside of any fighting.

  36.  @toxicninja3247  Then this "real" leader will run away to US. This guy on 2nd day removed age limit for military service as adults did not want to fight for his regime. Then, on 4th day he released criminals. All he does is nice speeches. Instead he would simply follow Minsk agreements signed by Ukraine to avoid all of this war. But he refused. Which leader wants war and death of his people? Even Castro, an absolute dictator, did not want Cuba destroyed by US in Cuban Missile Crisis. Even Castro cared more then Zielinski! Karazi also stayed in Kabul, till Taliban marched in - is he a hero as well?

  37.  @southernstablesauto  This strategy may seem correct until you look at history - it was never good to fight to the last man. Look at say Finland. They caused massive casualties on the Soviets in winter war. They managed some gains in continuation war. But than Soviets came back. Now with much better generals and much better soldiers. They kicked Fins quite hard and caused massive Finnish casualties. Fins stopped them but quickly realized that this stoppage was only b/c Soviets needed tanks for the final death push against Germany (Bagration). Fins quickly turned diplomacy on - they could have "held the line" a bit longer and die in glory - but they knew they had little chance. So they gave up all land Soviets were after in winter war, some other concessions and were free to do as they pleased. I.e. they cut their losses short. Being heroic is nice in movies etc. but not in real life. Look at Polish Warsaw uprising. Did it accomplish anything? Sure, got AK (Polish underground) totally destroyed, got Warsaw - one of the largest capitals before WWII (Had tallest building in Europe at the time) totally destroyed and caused death of 100s of thousands of civilians. All for exactly what? Good movie story? Poles in September 1939 surrendered Warsaw with little fight for exactly opposite reason - war was lost, allies did not help, why defend in capital for weeks or months with no purpose other than for 1000s to die and city get smashed?

  38. This will take years. A lot of buildings still standing are no longer safe & will need to be torn down.

  39. So we are closing a BBQ restaurant with Police and stuff present and yet its OK for others to go to uber infected US & back to Canada? They better be supervised on quarantine when they come back & steep fines if they are found breaking it - better yet they should be in a paid hotel for 2 weeks under security. This can be a start of a 3rd wave. Note that these are older people mostly & far more effected by the virus then the rest of population plus travel == lots of contacts.

  40.  @அவானிஉயர்ந்தது  She is certainly not Jewish - her grandfather run a newspaper in Krakow about why Jews need to be eliminated for few years. Since he was the general redactor this is not disputed. Same as to what he wrote in there. Thus certainly NOT Jewish. Anti-Semitic, yes. Nazi, yes. But not Jewish. Not to say some Jews did not have a hand in Holocaust - but these were super rare instances.

  41. Ukraine will clearly not get NATO membership anytime soon if ever. One of the conditions of ending Russia - Ukraine war is no NATO. So I expect Ukraine will not enter NATO for a while.

  42. Well, Azov is claiming to be continuation of Nazi from WWII - they claim to be their spiritual brothers. They even brought back same racial rules and are praying to dead Nazi Bandera. Not sure how much closer to a Nazi can you get.

  43. Yeah, and they lost the war. So even, right?

  44. This is going to get a lot more interesting when first snow arrives and temps during the day drop below freezing. I wonder what EU will do when they see first pictures of frozen kids. Priority right now is to decrease arrivals to Belarus.

  45. So what is the big deal? Most of the tanks / APCs run away, suffered minimal losses - about same losses as inflicted by a single Russian helicopter on a single sortie - or actually less.

  46.  @Dunkiep8  So you agree that PM of Canada should be allowed to take bribes and should be allowed to ignore laws of Canada? Do you think it is a good representation of Canadian values and of Canadians to show them as people ignorant of their own laws? As for leadership current example is the vaccine failure - our "leader" has shown he is even unable to buy stuff - he has purchased the most vaccine per person on Earth yet he forgot that "delivery by" date part - thus we as Canada are scheduled to get less vaccine then Quebec has capacity to vaccinate themselves.

  47. Time will tell, but don't expect Biden to be better then Trump - after all Biden promised to "buy American campaign" and to cancel pipelines to Canada. The first hits Ontario the second Alberta.

  48. Actually they just read instructions from the government what to do - similar to Canada.

  49. Why Russia - maybe Ukraine could end this war? Why joining NATO is such a life and death ambition for them. Not even Cuba went to war with US as Fidel loved his country too much.

  50. Nice political decision by Erdogan to deflect from his other domestic policies and keep masses happy.
