Ukraine as it was, not what is left after Putin chops it up. Ukraine will not negotiate as long as there are Russian troops on Ukrainian soil. That should be obvious by now.

Russia destroyed the peace, now they want it back on their terms. Ukraine says no. Russia won't invade the Baltic countries because they belong to NATO. See how that works.

I lean toward the Americans on this one, I think there was a collision of some sort. Aircraft don't go out of control just because an engine quits.

Only at Kaliningrad. Next he will be invading the Baltic countries or Belarus to link it with the rest of Russia, the same as Hitler using Danzig as an excuse to invade Poland. Why do you think the Baltic countries joined NATO? They aren't stupid.

I'm not saying Putin is Hitler, just that he learned from him. When Finland joins NATO, Putin will have another NATO country on his border, currently there are just Latvia and Estonia. If he takes over Ukraine, he will have four more NATO countries on his border. Not only do you guys not learn anything from history, you don't seem capable of reading a map. Putin is actually trying to push his borders closer to NATO countries.

That explains you then.

Putin doesn't deal in negotiations. He invaded Crimea and got away with it, why not go for more? Then it was supposedly just the Donbas, then it is a land bridge between Donbas and Crimea, then it will be Odessa. He will keep picking away until he is stopped. People like Nationalist don't learn anything from history, Putin has. First it was the Rineland, then Austria, then the Sudetenland, then the rest of Czechoslovakia, then Poland. It did work for Hitler until finally he went to far. Putin should have been stopped in 2014, now we are seeing the result of appeasement.

It depends who you are joking with and it depends if they will give as good as they get. There is an old aviation joke. A Lufthansa flight was having a gate delay in Frankfurt. Eventually ATC called wanting to know when the gate would be open for an aircraft that was waiting. The crew said they were trying to locate a passenger. All of a sudden an anonymous voice on the radio said, "did you check the ovens". Poor taste yes, but funnier than hell.

The bank got stuck with having to sell off low interest treasury's at a big loss to cover withdrawals. The culprit was the stupid low interest rates not inflation. 5% rates should be the norm.

It's only a joke if it is funny. If it is funny, anything goes. Humour is about irony, not insults.

Technically you could in Canada as well, if you could find a clinic to do one. Professional standards dictate a doctor cannot perform an abortion after 24 weeks unless the woman's life is in danger.

As opposed to the House of Lords.

When did I do that? You obviously have no clue about bond markets.

So you have no clue.

Should anyone be surprised?

What about the 50 guys behind her, one cop is going to put zip ties on all of them as well? "Wait your turn guys, just line up over there while I send for more zip ties." Reality is not one of your specialities.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Amurica. You can now set your watches back 100 years.

Niche banks are risky, no different from putting all your investments in a single sector.

Who is doing that? You guys go on about the right of parents to make their own decisions about bringing up their kids. Of course that only goes as far as you approving of those decisions.

No, I've just said I'm not on Twitter. The OP claims to quote a source without even showing his alleged source.

I suppose but I can make up stuff on what I claimed to have seen on Twitter and I'm not even on Twitter.

Ya, anyone who didn't fit the mold was automatically a pedo.

Why would you assume it is correct?

If a person can only cite Twitter as a source without even showing a tweet, it is automatically suspect.

All education systems are about grooming kids. Raising kids is about grooming them.
