In other words not really much at all. Get back to us when It's the size of Africa.

Why do you think I support Putin? Being realistic and giving land in exchange for no war would have saved many Ukrainian lives and much infrastructure. What proof do you have that Putin would want more than the East and Crimea? IMO you are just regurgitating propaganda. In any event that option was never given a chance.

At what cost in Ukrainian lives?

Correction. Ukraine will never stop fighting till the west stops giving them bullets and shells. Bullets and shells cost a lot. I do not doubt the heroism and patriotism of Ukrainian soldiers, but it takes a lot of bullets to kill one enemy, and a lot of shells to take a well dug in enemy defensive position. Many western countries are broke, and a war in a far off land are not anywhere near a priority for most citizens if their own troops are not involved.

What do you think the cases are made from? Do you think bakelite would do the job?

5555555555555555555 Without oil based plastic your precious smartphones and computers would not exist.

Debatable point, but seems that I can be more offensive to those I dislike on social media than I can be on here. Also, young people use social media to bully other young people to the point of suicide. I doubt any poster on TVF/ AN has committed suicide because of what is posted.

The premise of the headline is flawed. Bushfires are a natural event. IMO it is humans living where they should not that is the problem.

Ever heard the phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? BTW, I never said I'd love everything about him, and I do love driving my oil powered car. Without oil we'd still be using horses and dying of starvation.

Must be sad to be in a party that can't find anyone better than a has been geriatric to be the next POTUS candidate. Personally I hope they put harris up for it as that would IMO guarantee 4 more years of Trump. I'm sure that millions would hold their noses and vote Biden, but IMO harris would be too "smelly" even for that.

Pity their side politicians are <deleted> as well. Did the last war kill off all the decent future politicians?

Could you make that just the executives that made the decision. U Tube per se is a useful tool.

and what, exactly, does that have to do with unproven allegations against Brand? IF, and WHEN he is PROVEN guilty, he'll be sentenced. Unlike some, I don't take everything that a female says to be gospel, unless it's proven.

If you are saying I'm a right winger, you are a . Couldn't be further from the truth if you tried. I guess you haven't read many of my posts. Don't have to be right wing to dislike money grubbing liars.

Another that believes allegations based on sod all evidence, I see. I for one believe that a prosecution has to be started before such can be taken seriously. Twenty year old allegations ( unless backed up with a police report from the time of the allegation ) should be tossed into the round file, IMO. This is a pretty consistent theme among right wingers who are more likely to be misogynist. You need to prove that or its a pathetic lie.

Ain't that the truth!

Woke cancel culture writ large.

Every time I see something like that I lose respect for the female gender. How could one respect people that would have casual sex with someone like that?

You need to translate "Harry user" for those not up with Tropposurfer speak. Even google doesn't explain it.

If that is true I might have to change my mind about him. Never liked his style in the slightest and refused to watch any movie with him in it, but if he is using his position to attack the establishment that would have to make me rethink about him. If ever a media deserved to be attacked, IMO it is the mainstream media.

I'm sick of money grubbers ( of either gender ) crawling out from under the rocks they've been lurking under for years or decades because they think it's a payday. Why don't we hear about such allegations against Joe Bloggs with not much cash to give them? If someone won't do anything about it for 20 years they should suck it in and carry on the way they have been. We've all got events in my life that irk, myself included, but we don't run to the media about it. Only exception would be if they reported it to the cops and the cops refused to take it seriously or covered it up. IMO it's an atrocity that unproven allegations like these are allowed to be published. Should not be till at least a prosecution is announced. I don't know how many innocent men have had their lives ruined by such media garbage, but I bet it's a lot. IMO any person making such allegations that are found to be false should be prosecuted and jailed, plus a large fine. It's because of <deleted> like this that I don't read newspapers any more.

Every smart phone on the planet could vaporise and I'd say it was a good thing. The phones seem smarter than the humans that use them. Social Media, yuch!

Posting safely from far far away from the fighting you seem very keen to see the young men of NATO returning in body bags. Perhaps some on here so keen to escalate the conflict could put their bodies in harms way by joining the Ukrainian military, but I doubt they will.

Will Putin be satisfied with the Russian gains or continue on to Odesa and Kharkiv? If, and that's a very big IF, Russia were able to take the Black Sea coastal area IMO they'd be foolish not to. Little wonder their leader tried so hard to get NATO directly involved. I agree that is their last hope of winning anything. Hopefully western leaders will see the writing on the wall and refuse to allow that, at least unless by some miracle Ukraine did manage to eject the Russians permanently. While Russia's military shortcomings have been exposed, their nuclear force still lurks.

Do you think that if Russia fails with conventional weapons it won't use nukes? I think it will, as Putin can't afford to fail. Meanwhile, the war is so unimportant that it's almost vanished from Al Jazeera news hours. If it were going well for Ukraine I'm pretty sure it would be reported all over the place, but it's not. Ergo, IMO it's stalemate.
