Reuters was not able to verify what happened independently

Gee, I wonder why.

I bit into this one hard. I can’t tell reality from satire anymore. halp me.

The previous failure and departure from Canada DD did would suggest otherwise, and that wasn’t even in a hostile environment.

CEO Peter Mammas believes he can open “600 to 700” of the American donut and coffee chain locations in Canada

CEO Peter Mammas is an idiot.

It’s a bullshit headline. The researchers were using an addiction metaphor to explain minor behavioural changes and the writer posted “withdrawal symptoms!”

Je me souviens!

IMO your analysis is pretty good. Russia’s tactics are insufficient to successfully hold Ukrainian territory long term. Their only hope is Ukraine’s support evaporates and an isolated Ukraine succumbs to exhaustion. To this end they continue to foster a resurgence of right-wing russia-sympathetic parties throughout Europe, although it doesn’t look like this has been successful nearly as much as they’d hoped.

Honestly, it really is starting to look like russia is nearing collapse. Financial institutions have warned inflation will be bad this year, and economic indicators all show severe strain (although not as severe as I’d like to see). There has been a notable uptick in the amount or public protests and outspoken complaints from civilians and even their milbloggers are expressing frustration with the russian army. Couple this with their admission that Victory day parades are vulnerable and I’m willing to start holding my breathe. All it takes is a spark…

Personally, I’d like to see the Crimean Bridge collapse into the water. The ensuing panic and fury at russia’s helplessness would likely be sufficient at this point.

Russia needs to be dealt with first. Once the air is clear from the stench of rotting orc flesh polluting every communication space can we breathe safely enough to start wacking at the giant mountain of rancid cheeseburgers looming over the world.

I know Ukraine has a lot mor casualties, the Bus incident you listed is a fairly tame one compared to other ones in Ukraine.

And yet the only time you say anything is the second a russian building has debris hit it. The glaring implication is Ukrainian civilians didn’t count. It’s telling that a russian mayor makes a claim and THAT is what gets your attention.

What a great idea.

Didn’t flap your gums on this post did you? BS trolling plain to see.

Nobody is “celebrating this”.

They didn’t bomb civilians. Even their mayor said ‘no casualties’.
