Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

putin made a speech today blaming NATO for starting a war "in the centre of Europe", i.e. Yugoslavia, 25 years ago today. This is kindergarten level propaganda. Wonder where this is leading..not. Yugoslavia didn’t need NATAO, or anyone else for that matter to start a war. Quite capable of it themse...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Oh, I thought you meant spin hurricanes the other way. I think that would be called a cyclone. But just as an aside, if they wanted to spin it the other way, they somehow think that they can control the climate, how many tax Dollars are needed?

Re: Chaos in Cuba

He was President Roosevelt's handpicked dictator to counteract leftists who had overthrown strongman Cerardo Machado. I think this is what irks our resident commie defender. Cuba is one of the last communist hell-holes on earth and those subscribing to such ideology are unhappy it is ending. Of cour...

Re: Chaos in Cuba

There is a country North of the “country to the North” of Cuba that has no restrictions on imports from Cuba, but somehow still gets its pineapples and oranges from elsewhere. Doesn’t Russia make farm equipment? Surely they don’t use John Deere combines, or do they as they are superior?

And how’s that “corruption and exploitation brought to a halt by Castro” working out? Not so well apparently after 65 years.

Are you sure John Cleese is not masquerading as Canadian Chief of the General Staff? I mean it would be appropriate given the reply.
John Cleese is competent and very good at what he does.
Well, yes, he is but as Basil Fawlty for example...?

But, but, but didn't Fidel promise a bag of rice and two chickens to every family every month?

And now Trump also expects bloodbath, unless...

Re: Chaos in Canada

Very good analysis, Fox3. I do know that most of what is happening in Ottawa is pure incompetence and ineptness, and very little conspiracy, but there are those in the LIEberal party who are behind the curtain (Chretien, Martin) who still pull some of the strings. Too bad one of the strings doesn't ...

Re: Chaos in Canada

I agree that he is not in control, but as far as charge goes, I think there are backroom players that pull his strings. That is the reason he was put in the position he is in: to have no competency of his own and to execute the the orders given. He may not be doing to what you and I think is the rig...

Almost nobody consumes the legacy media these days. CBC news 'The National' news gets under 1% of Canadians watching.
And, yet, we spend $1.5B on them. "Condos on Front Street", I say.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

The CinC of the Russian Navy is reported fired. Probably because there were no Russian warships at sea in the Black Sea for most of last week. Or maybe they just don't need so many Admirals now they don't have so many boats. :)) The new guy is a submariner, which makes sense with Russia having so m...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

A ruz drone with a thin fiber optic cable for communication was obtained. The cable means it can't be taken down by EW, and more data transmitted with better quality video. I wonder. Like flying on a rope? Big deal, I was doing that 60 years ago. And my cable was steel, not some flimsy glass string.

It will be interesting to see who signed off the wheel change task card, assuming that it can be found. :D
Maybe United will take a page from Boeing's playbook (lose the documentation). :-?

Re: Chaos in USA

Biden reminded me of our 14-year old Old English Sheepdog who was given steroid shots in the last week of his life. He suddenly was invigorated and if you didn’t know better you’d think he was two years old. A week later we had to put him down.
