😅😀😄...holy $*****...you actually posted this based on the Ukraine/Russian war??? This is some funny crap because any, ANY mention of pro-war or anti-war certainly reflects the intentions of the opposite side. So, if you're against the Ukranians defending themselves you MUST certainly be FOR the Russian Rape War against Ukraine! Who is "pro- war" if they aren't Russian? Holy F dude, you get that, right? Russia invaded Ukraine, they're ONLY at war because of that. Anyone "pro-War" must be a Russian, cause that's who's conducting the war. There is certainly a DEFENSE going on. Ukraine is DEFENDING their country and their PEOPLE!.

Okey dokey...good talk JD.

I take it back. My bad, you're right. You might not be a "Russian apologist". What is your position on the current criminal Russian aggression against a peaceful country? Also, what is your position against the criminal Russian aggression that seeks to not only fornicate, rape, own, and subject Ukranian women and children to the whims of the invading power? (I'll wait...) "I serve the US"...really, you think I'm dumb enough to answer that question on this board??

Hahahha, read my other post to JD who played the same sad card. If this board is anything, it's good for the same ol crap. Of course you were going to lay that one on me. I serve the US. I pay taxes. I have an opinion. You're a Russian apologist and a pu$$y. Life is a tough deal. Have fun with the new, orange, eZ waaayyy.

Hahahaha...you're ramping up to the part where you tell me to go join the Ukranians...right?? Dude, I've read the entire thread and I know the "game" here. You're an apologist that is incapable of discussing actual issues. Moreover, you don't care about the lives at stake. Apparently, you're much more concerned about "being right in defense of MAGA".

Ukraine lovers want Ukraine to make decisions about their own country. We can choose to help or not, that's it. The world can choose to help or not. If we don't help there will be plenty of "gore-porn" of Ukrainians getting defiled by Russian conscripts, officers and eventually Oligarchs. They've already stolen thousands of children to re-educate and raped and killed thousands of women. The men can fight as long as we support them. Would you rather fight and die or live and watch every woman and child in your life become a slave of the country that attacked yours?

Um, that wasn't rage and you could have replaced two letters and not been a prick...but, oh well. Not sure what you're getting at. You're a Russian. That's all. This is becoming a clear time thanks to Donald.

Correct, I'm upset.

Sure, f-in sure...a negotiated peace with some actual "N-E-G-O-T-I-A-T-I-O-N"...sure...good idea. I think that's possibly why the president of a small country brutally attacked by on the the top world powers was there...

Did you really just say that?? Maybe unless you're the f-in president of the country??!! Consider that...

This is a joke correct? Why don't you look up what NOAA does. Start by looking up how much of America is coastline, that will help you understand the implications in steamy Orlando. I really don't know how you do this all day with these people. The ignorance is astounding.

You're arguing with Russian apologists at best and BOTS and Russian propagandists at the worst. Just know that.

NOAA plays a massive role in the maritime industry, not only with forecasting but also with buoy data which is extremely useful information for mariners.

FDA just cancelled the flu vaccine meeting to establish the strains in next year's vaccine...not good. FDA cancels pivotal advisory meeting about next season's flu vaccine - ABC News https://abcnews.go.com/US/fda-cancels-pivotal-advisory-meeting-seasons-flu-vaccine/story?id=119234794

So what of this apparent mineral deal? How invested will we be? What type of exposure will the US have and what obligations?

Because we benefit from a free and stable Europe. Because Vladimir Putin is an international criminal and terrorist who does terrible things to the Russian people and should be overthrown and the Ukranian fight is clearly a way to work against him in a meaningful way. Because our military leaders are learning invaluable battle field information about one of our top two adversaries in the world. Because innocent Ukranians will be slaughtered, murdered, raped, and tortured if we give up the ship. Because if we're going to spend untold billions on our military we might as well make it count against one of our adversaries while doing the morally correct thing.

Ahh, 100% disagree. I've followed this thread for a long while and there's a drumbeat here of Russian propaganda. The reposting of party lines is "sympathizing" in my book. The entire line of "stopping the bloodshed" is a Russian cover. It makes sense to the weak, western mindset and the Russians know it. It has seeped into the MAGA echo chambers and is now pounded out. The Ukranians are fighting for their survival and unless the invaders are absolutely repelled they are finished and they know it. The Ukranians are smart and tough. They will cede strategic advantages but they will go to ground and continue to fight. They won't stand by to let their wives and daughters be sold to oligarchs and their kids be sent to "re-education" camps.

Lots of Russian sympathizing bots on this site, not saying you by any means, just making my position known.

And so would I if someone was doing what the Russians are doing to my country. Ukranians know they are fighting for their survival. This has less to do about land and boundaries than it does about an actual life worth living. If the Russians are allowed to take control there is not hope for the Ukranian people. They will be raped, murdered and pillaged.

All I can keep thinking of is the NIN song "Head Like a Hole"..."...bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve!"

I mean, in all honesty, what did you expect? Somebody's getting relieved.

Not where I live. The private online schools are about 3x the student #. The brick and mortar ones within driving distance are about 30% more and offer NO, zero transportation. Plus, pay for everything (lunch, extracurriculars, uniforms, on and on) NY public schools are really, really good generally. They align their curriculum with their state standards and test that way. Most of them offer more college credits than the local jucos (exaggeration, but you know what I mean). The private schools in NY actually have to compete with the public ones, not just be exclusive.

Yes Yes Yes Agreed, what would you like me to do at this point but watch. I've been in the fight vs ignorance for my entire professional career. Here we are. If they do this all I can take solace in is the above. Thanks...

Yeah, my. point is that parents are the problem. The rarest human to find on earth (and one I most respect) is one that overcomes no/$hit parents to achieve. Most title 1 schools are keeping kids alive and giving them a safe place for 7.5 hrs per day, that's it. Education is way down the list when life is dangerous and terrible as a kid. IMO schools mostly fail because parents fail. Out in the country where I live...it's poor and there's plenty of bad parents but we hang on and have glimmers because of our Title 1 designation. The working poor abound and need every bit of edge they can get. Little do they know that they're voting for vouchers that will decimate their school and leave them holding the bag for another 15 grand in tuition at some "private" school. As it unfolds I'll be able to drift away into the woods and streams...can't wait.
