I do not live in your country but I have been following the war. Please do NOT agree to this "peace treaty". It will bring nothing. There is no intention from the US or Putin to honor anything. Please stand strong.

thanks!

when you say in one fell swoop, do you mean there’s a “block all” button or do I need to do them all individually? Thanks for the list!

Can anyone give me information about the "rumor" I have heard that the US government is now insinuating itself on the Blue Sky platform? I am especially interested in how this will affect the platform and users.

Let's play "guess the country":

I have heard that this was from 200 yards and in the neck. Surely that means someone who has been professionally trained? I think any shooting is unacceptable. But why focus on this person and not the hundreds of school children? Or the thousands in Gaza?
