  1. Yes this OP is about the gun bill hence why I pointed out that there's been a record number of gun murders, a 43% increase in gun related deaths from a decade prior.
  2. They didn't just gather at the capitol though did they, you know exactly what they did when smashing windows and assaulting police to break in.
  3. "When people gather to go to the capital, don't burn, loot, or vandalize they are assaulting the capital and insurrectionists." Excuse me, are you sure they didn't loot and vandalize? Because the images and videos shown paint a very different reality to yours, just because they didn't also burn the place down does not mean they were not insurrectionists
  4. What do you mean the Dnieper River which the Russians have already mined? The Ukraine Russia agreement: "Initiative of Safe Transportation of Grain and foodstuffs from Ukraine ports" "The parties will not undertake any attacks against merchant vessels and the other civilain vessels and port facilities engaged in this initiative." "All activities in Ukrainian territorial waters will be under the authority and responsibility of Ukraine" Full text here: https://www.usubc.org/site/recent-news/russia-and-ukraine-agree-to-release--blockaded-grain-exports
  5. More Americans died of gun-related injuries in 2020 than in any other year on record, in 2020, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 45,222 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S. The 45,222 total gun deaths in 2020 were by far the most on record, representing a 14% increase from the year before, a 25% increase from five years earlier and a 43% increase from a decade prior.
  6. The deal with the Russians included them not to attack Ukrainian infrastructure for grain export. How long did this last? Less than 24 hours! If it was not for the air defenses there would have been 4 cruise missiles striking, as it was two got through. Ukraine's Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food confirmed there was grain in the Odesa seaport expecting a shipment in the next two days, reports National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine Suspilne Statements below from the UN and EU UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres unequivocally condemns reported strikes today in the Ukrainian port of Odesa. Full implementation of the commitments made yesterday by the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey is imperative: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/statement/2022-07-23/statement-attributable-the-spokesperson-for-the-secretary-general-ukraine High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: EU strongly condemns Russian missile strike on Odesa’s seaport. Striking a target crucial for grain export a day after the signature of Istanbul agreements is particularly reprehensible & again demonstrates Russia’s total disregard for international law & commitments #StopRussia
  7. Why put words in my mouth, I agree with the professional medical opinions in the links provided.
  8. There are reports on twitter and Ukraine language websites of a significant number of Russian troops encircled near Kherson, about 1,000 of them but nothing confirmed yet via credible sources. ISW cannot confirm rumors about a Ukrainian encirclement of Russian forces near Vysokopillya as of this publication. https://twitter.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1550625914098253828?
  9. Western weapons supplies are beginning to have an effect in Donbas, Zelensky tells us. Ukrainian fatalities down to 30 a day from 100-200. Ukraine fired 1,000-2,000 shells to Russia’s 12,000 daily. Now it can fire 6,000 as Russia experiences shortages. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ukraines-zelensky-says-a-cease-fire-with-russia-without-reclaiming-lost-lands-will-only-prolong-war-11658510019
  10. I think Ukraine sure would have laid some mines but the same can also be said for Russia: "The Russian navy has been given orders to lay mines at the ports of Odesa and Ochakiv, and has already mined the Dnieper River, as part of a blockade of Ukrainian grain exports, according to newly declassified US intelligence. The US says its intelligence points to a concerted Russian strategy to cut off the stretch of the coast still under Ukrainian control. “The United States has information that the Black Sea fleet is under orders to effectively blockade the Ukrainian ports of Odesa and Ochakiv,” a US official said." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/23/russian-navy-ordered-to-lay-mines-at-ukraines-black-sea-ports-says-us
  11. Irrelivant to the parents who make the decision based on the advice provided
  12. The link I posted says why
  13. The NHS is offering coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines to children aged 5 to 11 years. Experts have advised that parents of all children aged 5 to 11 years should be offered the chance to have their child vaccinated.
  14. There were never any sanctions on the sale of Russian grain but they were having problems with insurance for the ships etc
  15. The heart of the discussion is the topic, my views have been made clear on this topic, I'm not about to repeat them just for you when they are already posted in this thread. If you want my views on general abortion laws post Roe v. Wade ruling, then you can also find them in the appropriate previous Op's feel free to discuss further there. Just to be clear, Abortions at or after 21 weeks are uncommon, and represent just 1% of all abortions in the US and nine out of 10 abortions are done before 12 weeks.
  16. Nobody claimed allowing voluntary abortions further than 24 weeks without a medical reason is moral and his link and explanation fully justified the reasons on why they are sometimes rarely used and why the laws should be in place to allow them on that basis: https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/fact-sheet/abortions-later-in-pregnancy/
  17. However he qualified his first sentence with his second sentence along with a link which explained his position fully:
  18. Good to hear the nationwide vaccine roll out for school kids worked well with all of them having mild symptoms and none of them experiencing serious effects
  19. Well who would have thought that a massive campaign was initiated by the big fossil fuel firms along with PR companies who were famous for discrediting research on the toxicity of pesticides and for the tobacco industry. Laying the groundwork for the industries biggest campaign to date, opposing international efforts to negotiate emissions. The audacious PR plot that seeded doubt about climate change Thirty years ago, a bold plan was cooked up to spread doubt and persuade the public that climate change was not a problem. The little-known meeting - between some of America's biggest industrial players and a PR genius - forged a devastatingly successful strategy that endured for years, and the consequences of which are all around us. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-62225696
  20. Brilliant Russia has signed a deal to allow grain to be exported from ports they claimed not to be blocking in a country they claimed not to be invading. Lets see how this works out.
  21. Maybe you additionally have a problem actually reading my posts in which I said: Now do you comprehend the big deal in spreading dangerous misinformation?
  22. Wait are you now admitting that what you said is totally untrue? What big deal have I referred to apart from calling out your lies?
  23. Well avoidance of the truth always helps anti covid vaxxers, especially since the current variants are extremely more transmissible than previous variants so far more people catching covid along with their heightened immunity evasiveness than previous variants. However the FACTS are the vaccines still provide an excellent level of protection from serious illness and death.
  24. Found it, its a long report will read it tomorrow, just did a quick skim now and confirmed the the details you posted https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/3/e/522616.pdf
