It is a small number - percentage wise much higher than the far right "nazis" in Ukraine Putin invaded to eliminate. Just sayin'

Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide slippity-slide
I'm hittin' switches on the block in a '65
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Slide slide slippity-slide
Ain't no valley low enough or a mountain high

RIP Coolio

That tracking requires transponders to be on. Just worth noting... Would you have your transponder on if you were up to no good? Besides who says the explosive was IN the pipeline. Just sayin'...

Ironically the thought of this probably has John Wayne rolling in his grave.

They wouldn't be able to reach Zelensky. Kind of like the call where Trump wanted a Biden investigation...

- Who is calling?
Donald Trump.
- I am sorry I think I misunderstood you. Who?
Donald Trump.
- I am sure I misheard you. Who?
Donald Trump.
- I can't make out what you are saying. Who?
Donald Trump.
- I just can't understand you, too much static in the line. You will have to call back.

OMG - THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!! He sits around talking out his effet everyday about all the war, hating on Ukraine, the US, the UK and the rest of the west and then gets drafted to go to the front...

BTW for those of you who don't know he is kind of Russia's Tucker.

It's a terrible idea because they should have ACTUAL med kits. It is a "band aid". This is in effect what they are saying "We are drafting you, we don't have any supplies for you and you get a rusty gun that may explode when you fire it or a tank that may or may not run but we need to throw bodies at the war we are loosing."

An early unit was already decimated Friday or Saturday. A tanker that survived and was captured said they left Belogrod with half their tanks because half literally did not run. Half of the rest were not fully functional. They were told when they "signed up" they wouldn't be sent to the front for several months - a week later they were sent to the front.

It is certainly sabotage. Who benefits? You can make a case for Ukraine, UK, US, Any number of NATO countries, and yes even Russia. Very honestly, it would not surprise me at all that it is Russia given the location of the attack.

In other regions protests aren't so bad so they don't have as many volunteers for the mobilization...

Nobody forced them to though...

I put this up for all the 1st Amendment whiners out there. THIS is what the 1st Amendment is all about, not your social media.

IF he was smart (he's not) he wouldn't come up with one. So that said, I don't have a good one so you might be spot on with "Weary Dearie".

I agree it is not enough. BUT it is not too late. Anything in the right direction is progress. 10 republicans support in the senate gives it a chance to be passed though.

So the comparison between Serbia and Ukraine is an abysmal one at best. The Serbs started it. The Serbs were massacring people - in particular males from teens to 60s. Genocide is the term. The Serbs were targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. The UN actually condemned the conflict - that required China and the USSR. Afterward in 2001 a United Nations administered Supreme Court, based in Kosovo, found that there had been "a systematic campaign of terror, including murders, rapes, arsons and severe maltreatments." Now replace Russians with Serbs and you can see where this is going.

Too late to leave now. Able bodied men are banned from leaving.

I am betting Trump is his idol. Seriously note where he found his suckers. Anyhow if China wouldn't have killed crypto he would probably be just fine.

So why isn't the governor in the capitol? Just curious.

NATO is making this far worse than it had to be. All for a "country" that isn't even a member.

Making it worse for WHO? Russians? Certainly not Ukrainians. I just finished reading an article on the mass graves and Russian torture chambers.

Where are all the "Both Parties are the same" folks?

I do believe in punishment for crimes but where do you draw the line? To me it is pretty easy with these criminal databases. Only the information of convicted criminals and that of unknown suspects should ever be in these systems. That is not to say you shouldn't be able to search these system when you have someone's biometric data that you are investigating for crimes possibly related to them.

My personal thought is that any form of biometric data that is not tied to a convicted criminal, open case or required by law (say fingerprints of a concealed weapons permit holder, a notary or some such) should be removed from all systems once a case has been adjudicated. I am not against retaining in the event of further litigation on a case but personally identifiable information should not be in the system except for a guilty party. If I am arrested but not convicted of anything that requires prints or other information than damned straight my information should be removed from any systems that track criminals. If you are victim of a crime it is a bit outrageous that your information gets loaded into systems for criminals.
