did I miss something, aren't 50% of parliament seats appointed by the military ? or was the constitution or electoral law changed ? how can they be voted out ?

exerpt: hello disgusting Russia supporters, what do you say ?

don't get your hopes too high such a victory will be very difficult to achieve with the very limited help and supplies that are delivered to Ukraine.

for the benefit of some readers who wrote they can't understand what Russia's attack on Ukraine has to do with NATO, or why what happens in Ukraine is important for Taiwan and world peace, I suggest they watch this video:

not all negociations are real negociations, often they are just agreements on how to manage the defeat, and don't negotiate anything significant the fate of which wasn't already sealed by way of arms. Germany (2x) Japan (1x) Napoleon (2x) Vietnam (2x) Afghanistan (2x) Algeria ... the list goes on. and now please answer my question whether Russia's attack on Ukraine is more tolerable to you than the West supporting Ukraine with weapons.

and Russia attacking Ukraine is more tolerable to you ? serious question.

a good recap of the battle of Vuhledar

there are things I wouldn't wish to my worst enemy ... but there are exceptions.

obviously the Condo management should take steps to ensure that either: - the power outlets are disconnected or - power outlet usage can be billed to the tenant using it under no circumstances is it acceptable that personal vehicles be charged on common condo costs.

it's funny how the same logical arguments have to be repeated almost every day to the same people.

very unlikely, because not wearing a helmet isn't a crime.

the guy has been proven to be sketchy

yes. seems poferries has a technical problem in the part of their front end. maybe they wanted to block foreign traffic (evil) but implemented the block in their frontend instead of properly doing it on script level, so part of the content generated by the backend still displays but no template is loaded.

I loved Scott Adams' comics years back when I was working in an office not unlike the subject of his Dilbert cartoons. His blog was also pretty good and raising clever points. I read it daily. His mind was very sharp. And then, at some point, he started to derail, maybe ten years ago. At first some of the blog posts were coming across as odd, then some were outright daft - and he stopped writing them. I remarked that since Ruzzia's attack on Ukraine some of his comics seemed to spread Ruzzian propaganda. I suspect isolation and social media to be the cause of the apparent senility.

I think most people get that the fascist dictator who started a war lost at Stalingrad... But Stalingrad really isn't a well chosen metaphor, since Stalin himself was quite the butcher.

they shouldn't be so harsh with themselves, the mobiks ARE the equipment. very useful for mine clearing, close quarter reconnaissance, enemy ammo stockpile depletion, etc. also, if chemical weapons were to be used, they would indicate whether an area is safe to go for regular troops that have been supplied with gas masks from 1956 (filters 1979 model 62 third edition) or scavenged out of the "zone" from discarded Chernobyl stockpiles...

the poll options read a little like Google's report on the most frequent search terms.

intellectual cannon fodder you are

following this logic, nuclear war is inevitable anyway.

I'm not sure really certain you aren't relevant enough to be credited made responsible for any development in the matter.

a sad example specimen of the human race has reacted with a laughing emoji to the announcement of crimes against humanity committed by Ruzzia. (please note I am not against emojis, freedom of expression all the way!)
