I guess it is a natural consequence of a good fist fight. Whenever I have a good fist fight I generally also become friends with the opponent, all the animosity has been spent. Still, he should have pressed charges for the greater good. He clearly had nothing to fear from the 4 of them even.

It is not the same as "empire" obviously, however, the very large powers, like the US and Russia, have clear spheres of influence, which relate to their defense capability. For instance when Panama was selling secrets to Cuba the US invaded. This is just real world politics. I am sure your Mexican friends would feel that way, alas, their country is a neighbour and thus very much in the US sphere of influence, as indeed recent events have clearly shown with the president of Mexico pleading with Trump that all is done on immigration that can be done.

The question you are not asking, alas, is how many jobs would Germany have lost if it had not been massively subsidised by its export markets, such as the USA.

That caricature of the man is contradicted by the recent incident of President Trump offering his bed to a pregnant woman. He is a true gentleman with heart and soul. Salt of the earth.

When the alternative was not to poke Russia in the eye, sign a treaty and nobody dies. Ok. But Ukraine has every right. Ok. So let the slaugther commence? What are you, Attila the Hun?

You sell me 160 million worth of oil, I sell you 100 million worth of poutine. It means I am subsdising you with 60 million. That is Canada, a cheap parasite.

Again, you wilfully distort, manipulate and annihilate the true meaning. As I explained already of course every nation should export. I was just pointing out that your little boycott would be of limited importance even if it succeeded perfectly. That's all.

Never let her go on holiday alone! NEVER!!!! For any reason! No exceptions.

"Must be comfortable wearing swastikas" Hahahahahahahaha. You gotta love Kanye.

As our friend Sigmund Freud said, anatomy is destiny. And so is geography. Ukraine happens to be a neighbour of Russia. So it can't keep poking Russia in the eye with a pointy stick. You can say Ukraine can do whatever it wants. Okay, how did that work out? Not so hot, right? Whether I find it acceptable is neither here nor there, it is real politics. Russia is a very strong nuclear power. You poke it in the eye at your peril. Ukrainians are not immune from this.

He doesn't want to subsidize Canada! He is not into Poutine! Makes perfect sense. Very coherent.

Nobody is denying geography. Yes Ukraine is in Europe, Central America is indeed a long way from China. But the analogy Rob made is about alliances, if Mexico allied with China the US would not just accept it. just as Russia does not just accept Ukraine allying with the West. It looks like you are wilfully ignoring the main point. Nobody can be this dense. No, Ukraine does not have "every right" to jump camp to the West. It is in Russia's vital sphere of interest. Just as Panama can't do what it wants, Ukraine has to consider what Russia wants. Or suffer the consequences.

I air every morning, so I would have thought the outside air coming in would lead to the air monitor showing much worse air quality. But that is not hte case. With both of them.

Sonny and Butch. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are turning in their graves with disgust.

I do like Putin, how could one not? Sticks and stones....hahahaha

The incoherence is only in your brain. I am of course not saying the US does not need to export, every nation has to export as it makes economic sense. However, in the lunatic world which lefties inhabit where they impose a boycott on the US, and that boycott would work perfectly, the US would still have a GDP of 24 trillion. So it actually would have a very limited effect on the US economy. Should other countries buy more US goods? Of course they should. But the tariffs are really more concerned about Americans buying more American products. Your thinking is massively incoherent.

Well, it was the Europeans and Americans that caused these flames of discontent, with their magnificent porn, Adidas and Nike, Britney and Republica, it's all very seductive. But it was the job of Ukrainian leaders to understand the implications of switching to the Western camp. This does not deny a sovereign nation the right to self-determination across the board, only Ukraine. Why? Because Ukraine happens to be a neighbour of Russia, a global power. Just as the USA's neighbours can't do as they please, as Panama found out, neither can Russia's neighbours. A sovereign nation is not like any other sovereign nation. The realities of power need to be considered.

Hiding the truth, lying, these are as intrinsic to nature as night and day. Honesty is not just overrated, it is actually an impediment to life. If everyone always told you the truth you would be a psychological wreck.

He's not saying China is in Central America. In fact it's a perfectly valid analogy. What he's saying is that Mexico is in the USA's sphere of influence, just like Ukraine is in Russia's. If Mexico would join an alliance with China indeed the US would not take that lightly. Just see what happened to Panama who sold vital things to America's enemy.

Well, as you will see if you ressearch this matter, the removal of Yanukovych owed much to a revolution that was largely influenced by America's CIA, this is well documented. Now I am not saying some Ukrainians didn't want to jump into bed with rich hansum man USA, they certainly did, however, Ukraine's leaders should have realised the consequences of switching camp to pro Western.

Fair point, the numbers are tentative at this point. The Europeans were the ones who caused themselves massive economic problems, whilst Russia's economy blossomed, very true. Europe's politicians are by far the most amateurish. You just have to look at Germany's foreign minister, a girl named Annalena Baerbock whose main distinction is that she has achieved nothing in life. Literally nothing. Apart from bing a trampoline gymnast. You can't make this stuff up. This is Germany's foreign minister.

No it wasn't Putin having jealousy issues. It was a matter of defense and national security. The motivation for Ukraine, Georgia etc wanting to join NATO hardly matters. What matters is that Russia is located on the great European plains, and as long as it controlled entry and access to those plains, by controlling Ukraine, it had a decent chance of self defence. But with Ukraine joining NATO it would have meant Russia could no longer defend herself effectively.

So I bought an air quality monitor. Throughout this entire burning season it has shown air quality to be in the green and ideal area. I was concerned I bought a second air quality monitor to monitor the first one. It too said the air in my house was in the green and ideal area. But when I look outside I can see poorer visibility. Why are BOTH of my air quality monitors not telling me air quality is impaired? Any thoughts?

I long suspected the provocation of Ukraine was a Western ploy to get Russia to bleed out, why would Boris Johnson fly in specifically to stop Zelensky from signing a treaty that brings peace with Russia. It was bizarre. Even Russia wins now, there's a peace treaty, Russia will have lost 1 million men and 1 billion USD.

I completely agree, Russia needs the Ukraine as a buffer to safeguard entry to the European plain so it has a chance of self defense. We need to give Russia this small gift to assuage their justifiably irritated nerves.
