"NATO is treating the incident as a deliberate incursion, not an attack" (Reuters). In other words, let's call it "foreplay" so as not to inconvenience Putin with Article 5. I also say wait two weeks until Trump decides how to punish Poland for not moving the country out of the way of the drones.

Poland shoots down Russian drones in its airspace for the first time, accuses Moscow of ‘act of aggression’ | CNN Poland’s military said early Wednesday that it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, the first time it has taken such a step in what is a ma...

Trump brings chaos back to Washington by attempting to kill bipartisan budget deal with Musk's help President-elect Donald Trump has delivered a likely death blow to bipartisan congressional budget negotiations, rejecting the measure as full of giveaways to Democrats.

"Slave Ukraine" means "UA is a slave", that is what you put in your bio.
"Slava Ukraini" or "Слава Україні" means "Glory to Ukraine".

Fighting for press freedom looks good in the election campaign, that's why it's a bipartisan bill. After the campaign, press freedom... not so much.

That is undeniable.

A one-legged chair thrown onto the beach stands upright, supported by a few blades of grass.

I don't like, I don't despise politics. I'm only interested in it before elections, I like to choose the lesser evil. Sometimes, rarely, there is a best option. These days, a gathering of decerebrate lunatics turned America into a madhouse. These days, politics sucks.

"Chinese pay import duties" is a joke, that's what I meant, it's not my idea of ​​economics. I agree that if I had read this over there, I would have thought at first that a cult member was spreading the word of (recently) potato-elect.

I really think you should read the whole thread.

Thank you for the lesson. I feel humbled.

It's likely. And I don't think it's even a real competition, Leon is probably just the new toy, Boris is the trusty pack mule.

I know it's a cliché, but I think it best describes the madness into which America has descended.

This time, no reinforcements are coming. That's it, we are the reinforcements.
