Nobody forced you to reply to a conversation about Poland.

I must admit that freezing b&%?§ doesn't boost morale. ????

Read my posts, I never commented about UK, I commented about Poland. It's you who seem to be obsessed by UK and introduce it in any of your replies.

I fully agree with you. My post was about the "pre-invasion" period, and a reply to a post claiming that the OSCE reports at that time were recording attacks from Ukraine. My reply (I had problems with the quoting function on my phone), was that attacks from both sides were recorded in these reports.

Another lame attempt at changing the meaning of my post. I wrote "It's not only a defense issue, It's about not being under any type of influence from Russia". In case it's not clear for you: - defense issue => NATO, - not being under economic and political influence from Russia => EU Capice?

Are you trying to put words in my mouth now? My (obvious) point was that, due to history, Poles have always perceived Russia as a threat, and even more after the invasion of Ukraine. Your lame attempt at diverting attention towards Poland-Ukraine relation is irrelevant to that point.

@Saanim Lame deflection. My post was about the history of Poland-Russia relations.

I mean both. It's not only a defense issue, It's about not being under any type of influence from Russia.

In case there was any doubt (there wasn't), the Polish people certainly don't want to leave the EU after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Gag! ???? F---ing nightmare’: Trump team does damage control after he dines with Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes "Trump then grew animated about Ye challenging him. “You’re not going to win. You can’t beat me,” Trump told Ye, the source said. “Nick, you work for the guy, and just because you work for him, you’re going to tell him he can beat me? You just got finished telling me I was the best president ever.” ???????????? https://news.yahoo.com/<deleted>-nightmare-trump-team-232425847.html

Like: don't send your kids to school, don't go to shopping malls, don't go to disco.......

When the need to reduce global inflation meets humanitarian concerns! ????

Well, when one country attacks and tries to destroy another country, It's difficult not to fall into "manicheism". It's not Ukraine or NATO which attacked Russia. The fact is that (nearly) no country wants to remain under threat or influence from Russia, because of its past imperialist and dominant behaviour. And on top of it, with an autocratic regime which has not even been able to ensure the economic development and the wellbeing of its citizens. Russia may resent it, but has to blame itself for this situation. You reap what you sow.

It could be that the Pope initially thought that he would be joined in his call for peace by part of the Russian orthodox Church. However, most of the Russian orthodox church is still in holy war mode, so this tactic has been proven useless.

It seems this is completely incoherent: - they were protesting against the obligation to be vaccinated in order to go back to Canada from the U.S., but they had to be vaccinated to drive into the U.S. anyway . - and anyway 90% of truckers were already vaccinated https://www.newsweek.com/canadian-freedom-truckers-protest-vaccines-90-percent-drivers-vaccinated-1674109 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/trucker-protest-convoy-southwestern-ontario-1.6329118

False equivalence

Weren't 90% of truckers already vaccinated? https://www.nytimes.com/article/canada-trucker-protests.html

MAGA talking about "moral fibre", "civil war" and "factual bases", That's rich!

Serves them right. Anyone with a minimal sense of morals would have boycotted this world cup! Corruptly obtained, nonsense from an energy consumption POW, and built thanks to the death of thousands of people. Shame on the FIFA and its supporters!

6 minutes ago, Hanaguma said: Now you are changing your claim. First you said "the AR 15 is the weapon of choice for mass shooters". Statistics show that you are wrong. NOW you are saying it is the weapon of choice for the deadliest shootings. In that, you are right. But it is irrelevant. @Hanaguma So it may not save all lives in case of mass shooting, as the murderers could also use other weapons, albait not as efficiently. How many lives should be saved in, say 10 years to justify banning AR-15?

And from this map, it is so obvious to identify where the strategic threat lies

Could it be that the governing party simply doesn't want that? If the Scots and the English would want it, I doubt the Welsh would massively oppose it.

It could not be invented! The first defense witness: ???? "longtime outside accountant for the Trump Organization testified at its tax-fraud trial on Tuesday that he would have been more than shocked if he'd seen the company's annual "secret" lists of Christmas bonus payments. "I probably would have had a heart attack," Donald Bender, who did the company taxes for 35 years, told a Manhattan jury on Tuesday. For years, former President Donald Trump personally signed stacks of bonus checks that were then stuffed into the holiday cards of favored company executives, jurors have already heard in the trial .......The bonuses should have been reported in their entirety on company W-2s each year, as taxable income. But they were not, prosecutors have charged." https://news.yahoo.com/trump-organizations-outside-accountant-testifies-011016142.html

I replied to another poster. Why don't you tell him? ????

They may be bent or not. Cheap, like 20-40 baht for at least 8 small bananas
