While both Ukrainian and Russian use the Cyrillic alphabet, they are not identical. Here's a breakdown of the key differences: Distinct Letters: Ukrainian has letters that Russian lacks: Ґ ґ, Є є, І і, and Ї ї. Russian has letters that Ukrainian lacks: Ё ё, Ъ ъ, Ы ы, and Э э. Therefore, although they share many common Cyrillic letters, the Ukrainian and Russian alphabets have notable differences. Welcome to my ignore list, for your ignorance and lack of manners.

If Canada can't win this trade war, why is Trump backing down?

Please put a sarcasm alert on your post.

Canada can sell oil to the EU and China, at a better price. How do you think New York is going to function with no electricity?

I posted on another thread about Kentucky losing $1 billion in liquor sales. That affects the farmers who grow the corn, the employees who make the bourbon, the industry that makes the glass bottles, the truckers who haul the finished product across the Canadian border. Job cuts all round.

Canada supplies all the electricity to the entire north-eastern corridor. Colorado, Oregon and California would have to go on rationing. A 50% cut in oil supply would see gasoline rationing. You've heard of compound interest? Your posts are compounding stupidity.

The inevitable consequence of two madmen in the White House. Think there is wealth inequity now? It's going to get much worse.

Please go ahead. Boycott Canadian oil and electricity, see where it gets you.

Ever thought of minding your own business?

I really can't see the sense of alienating allies with tariffs, and wrecking your own economy with them as well. Already, Kentucky bourbon makers have lost $1 billion in sales to Canada. Converting allies to someone who wants to punch you in the mouth is insane. The DOGE scythe is cutting down Republicans along with Democrats. There is nothing selective about it. How do MAGA's rationalize such actions?

$2000 for a premature ejaculation. The ladies will have more fun with that than you do.

Ever heard of a money belt? I have flown cash (AUD) to Thailand multiple times. It gets exchanged at a better rate than via interbank transfer. I am not suggesting anything. I am saying Centrelink has no way of knowing whether any person on a pension has purchased property in Thailand, unless that person tells them.

I have not updated my asset details with Centrelink for about 5 years. While I trade in and out of stocks and precious metals, my asset balance does not change. I spend pension income and investment income as I get it. If Centrelink really cared, I am sure I would have been contacted by now.

Genrikh Grigoryevich Yagoda (Russian: Ге́нрих Григо́рьевич Яго́да, romanized: Genrikh Grigor'yevich Yagoda, born Yenokh Gershevich Iyeguda; 7 November 1891 – 15 March 1938) was a Soviet secret police official who served as director of the NKVD, the Soviet Union's security and intelligence agency, from 1934 to 1936. Appointed by Joseph Stalin, Yagoda supervised arrests, show trials, and executions of the Old Bolsheviks Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev, climactic events of the Great Purge. Yagoda also supervised construction of the White Sea–Baltic Canal with Naftaly Frenkel, using penal labor from the gulag system, during which 12,000–25,000[1][2] laborers died. Like many Soviet NKVD officers who conducted political repression, Yagoda himself ultimately became a victim of the Purge. He was demoted from the directorship of the NKVD in favor of Nikolai Yezhov in 1936 and arrested in 1937. Charged with crimes of wrecking, espionage, Trotskyism and conspiracy, Yagoda was a defendant at the Trial of the Twenty-One, the last of the major Soviet show trials of the 1930s. Following his confession at the trial, Yagoda was found guilty and shot.

The Florida Keys are transient land. The next hurricane could demolish them. Freedom of speech is no problem for people who keep their mouths shut.

The USSR is in the dustbin of history. Please keep up.

I would not be saying anything to an American. However, if they openly supported Trump, I would think of them as deranged, and disengage myself ASAP.

I guess that's why just about every nation west of Russia pleaded to join NATO.

Ukrainians have a different language and alphabet to Russia. Anyone who Googles the Holodomor knows how tragic Ukraine's history is. It's the reason Ukrainians hate Russians. It was genocide, and the Russian apologists on here are beyond disgusting. Both countries are Slavic. On that twisted logic, Slovakians should all be speaking Russian.

AFAIK the poster is American, a good indication of the levels to which US education has sunk. I guess some people are unwilling to embrace the student loans system. There are free grammar and syntax checkers on the internet. No, you were not on my list. I will rectify that for you.

IIRC Fox News shelled out $767 million to Dominion, just to avoid being dragged into court. Wake me up when the same thing happens to MSM.

I guess the Kentucky bourbon makers are not finding Canadians pathetic. They've just lost a $1 billion market.

You are talking with someone who is a fact-free zone. I don't even bother to read his/her/its posts anymore.

Any poster that starts with childish laughter only gets my attention once. The lack of apostrophes is a pretty good indicator of the education level attained. So is the misspelling of words such as truth and spruiking.

I thought the correct adjective was far out.
