Unfortunately yes it does, for Ukraine. It's like my pappy used to say, All it takes for Ukraine to lose is, for Russia to keep blowing the hell out of them.

Media silence, and the fact that you war roosters have stopped crowing tells us otherwise. We're losing': Ukrainians reel from war chief's stalemate warning Ukraine's Gen. Valery Zaluzhny surprised observers of the invasion this week with an unusually candid assessment that the warring parties had reached a deadlock along the sprawling front. "Just like in the First World War, we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate," he told The Economist. "There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough." The comments poured cold water on the highly-touted counteroffensive that Ukraine launched this summer after stockpiling Western weapons and training new recruits. But the push gained little ground and AFP journalists found last month that Ukraine was still battling Russian forces in one key village it had claimed to recapture weeks earlier. The article goes on to say a new direction is needed, and they have one ready. More funding please...

Exactly. The bullshit you anti-Trumpers unleashed upon us.

Who's NYLefty? I've never noticed their posts on here before.

Thanks. I gave up spoonfeeding because I am too lazy to find information for others to look at.

Sure, and I have a great deal on some used cars for you. Is not how things work in normal circumstances that we need to guard against. It's the unknown unknowns. The CANDU is the best design imo because of inherent safety and the fact that it does not require enriched fuel. Other issue will be security. After Sept 11 they started beefing up security at reactor sites, because terrorist indicated their plans to attack these sites by using planes. The US admin mentioned putting SAM missile sites at each reactor facility. We also saw how Russians used the reactors at chernobyl and zaphoriziza to terrorize Ukrainians. In other words, these facilities become a target for terrorists and superpowers who may assign a ballistic missile to aim at their location.

You can learn about reactor research here- https://www.world-nuclear-news.org

China and Russia are building power reactors and have put several online in the past year. These are the big reactors I'm talking about now. Absolutely nothing has been built in the west over the past 30 years, mainly due to anti-nuclear lobbyists and groups like Greenpeace. Liberal governments in the west shunned reactors esp. after Chernobyl. Fukushima didn't help elevate the profile either. I don't prefer reactors as I'm generally anti-technology and don't have confidence that mankind can control it, either near or long-term.

SMR is not really a new technology. These are miniature PWR's. Think nuclear sub reactor, although they are being modernized to make them easier to maintain. You are free to google the info yourself.

False. There are smr's already operating in other countries, especially China and Russia who are well ahead of the new-nuclear game. The west has not built much nuclear in decades, but there is a nuclear power renaissance happening today. These smr's are not really revolutionary in design however. They are miniature pressurised water reactors. Think nuclear sub reactor on dry land. However there are new designs with gas cooling or molten salt that are now in development.

Or at least to do the job he's been given. Roll up sleeves and get to work. Something your guy Trudeau never did in his entire life.

That's right, there is no existing program. There are no functioning smr's in Canada as yet. Work is just starting now. Was that not informative enough the first time I said it?

It's an evaluation plan. The design of several different companies' smr's had to be reviewed by the regulator. There are other potential sites being talked about. It would be good if government chivatos moved their lazy butts a bit quicker, but whatareyougonnado? ?‍♂️

Is more than just talk, this is going to happen and in most western countries in the world. It's the only viable, sustainable high-power energy source that has low carbon emissions. Coming soon to a corner near you

There is no existing program. These things are new, and none in Canada yet.

Also record low unemployment among blacks, if I recall. Didn't start any wars. Didn't blow up stuff in the middle of the night. (much). Re-wrote NAFTA. Forced NATO deadbeats to pony up more cash. Which was good, right? To fight Putin.

Yep, I know about that one. Also saw it on Jesus Christ Superstar. Pretty sure they've tried negotiations over the years. For various reasons they cannot come to an agreement. If Hamas attacks and goes to hide in the city among civilians, they are knowingly putting them at risk. Apparently Hamas did not allow civilians to evacuate. Obviously, it's in their interest to use civilians as human shields.

Way things look these days, I predict in the future people will only whisper about these things in caves.

I think it was intended to remind about the tragedy of WW1 that we should not have such a war ever again. Not that it worked, of course.

Is there some other way you would like to see them respond to what happened? I mean, after the initial attack by Hamas.

Well now I certainly know Mr. Trudeau is in trouble, when even the greasiest of unwashed leftists start agreeing with me...

Because most of themdon't live here. But if you look at their Islamic countries you get a glimpse of it. They have a boatload of problems over there. Now when they come here, they bring in those problems. Not all of course but it is the shit disturbers we must focus on. The majority live by passive acceptance of the intolerance they witness in their own society. For them those harsh attitudes are normal.

Am very sorry to hear that.

Well maybe if you explained yourself better when you write, we wouldn't be wasting our time on this. Doesn't matter anyway. Is irrelevant to the larger point about how we got into this mess and who started it. From here it looks to me like things weren't so bad under the Ottomen for like a couple of centuries. Sure, you did anything untoward and they would chop your head off, but so what. People are gettin heads chopped off still today. And we in this country, do business with them.

Oh yeah? It's not what I read, Billy. "The Ottoman Empire became a safe haven for Jews from the Iberian Peninsula fleeing persecution (see Alhambra Decree). By the end of the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire had the largest Jewish population in the world, with 150,000 compared to Poland's and non-Ottoman Ukraine's combined figure of 75,000." Jews moved there to escape European persecution in 1500. Same old same old, I guess. There's a lot more here to refute your claims- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Ottoman_Empire You and Not-So-Groot can read it, get edumacated. Fill yer boots
