It's a stalemate. The Russians are making slow headway in ground gained, at the cost of a ruined economy. 86 Russian men to 100 Russian women means the Russian demographic is collapsing. Russia will win if Trump stabs Ukraine in the back.

I pay electric and water bills the day I get them. Same with annual condo fees. Phone is topped up every time I get below 100 baht credit. Some people run bills until the due date, or overdue. My philosophy is simple. If I pay up immediately, I can forget about whatever bill it is.

My son gets them all, I don't go into technicalities with him. He puts them on a 2 TB thumb drive, and posts them to me. Waiting on Reacher series 3 to complete. Watching Tulsa King.

IMO you might be looking for the word quisling. There's a few on this thread.

Rollmops. I suppose they are quite healthy, with a combination of protein and acetic acid, plus omega 3.

Did you lose some money on the shares?

Vegemite is an acquired taste, like the Dutch with their raw herring and chopped onion, or Brits with cold pork pies. Americans usually react to it as if they have been poisoned.

The last time I owed any money was 1974.

My GF is 58 yo. Most foreigners think she is under 40.

All the content I get is free. Social media, TV series, news media. IMO anyone paying a subscription - they are the idiots.

Putin has a cabal of about 150 ex-KGB people who think the same way as he does. IMO it will take regime change.

Natural speed reader, in my prime 900 wpm. Try again, SFB.

So lazy it changed its entire energy strategy when Putin attempted to blackmail it with oil and gas.

Either the EU has an overwhelming technological and financial advantage over Russia, or it has stripped itself bare already. You can't have it both ways.

Gee, what a withering retort. Did it take you 20 minutes to think it up?

The kill ratio of Russian soldiers vs. Ukrainian soldiers is 4 Russians to 1 Ukrainian. Russia has lost about 4000 tanks. Every day in May-June 2024, Russia was losing 1200 men. NATO has not even started a war with Russia, there are no European boots on the ground. Do you think Putin would beg North Korea for soldiers and ammunition if he was winning? Let's say Europe puts soldiers into Ukraine. How much better trained and armed do you think they will be than the average Russian conscript? Putin is the warmonger, that's the reality.

I am wondering if Bob's back would be better protected by him receiving than giving.

Now I am wondering whether your posts are gaslighting or sheer dumbf***ery.

You seem to be unaware the EU is sending more aid to Ukraine than the US now.

Hello Kremlin troll. Taken out any loans from a Russian bank?

The Ukraine constitution suspends elections in time of war. Stop lying.

I can't think of too many countries that play the national anthem every day at 8 am and 6 pm. I can't think of too many countries that venerate their old people like Thais do. I can't think of too many countries as socially cohesive as the Thais. I can't think of too many countries where a hospital visit costs 30 baht. I can't think of too many countries with the same percentage of beautiful women who age well. IMO the Thais have plenty of things to be proud of.

Putin knows nothing of the sort. He was told by his security apparatus Ukraine would be a matter of a week's conflict. He is probably being fed misinformation by his army people too. He considers Europe to be weak and disunited. Like all dictators, his subordinates tell him what they think he wants to hear.

Salad roll and mango smoothie at one of my favorite restaurants. I suspect you will never stop bruising yourself, jumping to conclusions.

What you say may be true.I guess some people don't fight back after a whipping. Going from that to being a vassal of Russia all over again is a logical bridge too far. While the caution is about not offending Russia, Ukraine has shown the Russian army is no longer the second most powerful army in the world.
