Sounds like the entire campaign is teetering on collapse: The military command of the Russian federation has stopped sending new units into Ukraine following a dramatic Ukrainian counter-offensive that has reshaped the war and left Moscow reeling, the general staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said Monday. “The military command of the Russian federation has suspended the sending of new, already formed units into the territory of Ukraine,” officials said on the general staff Facebook page. “The current situation in the theatre of operations and distrust of the higher command forced a large number of volunteers to categorically refuse the prospect of service in combat conditions,” the statement continued. “The situation is affected by information about the actual number of dead, while losses from private military companies and those mobilised from temporarily occupied territories are not taken into account. The situation worsens due to the general attitude toward their own wounded. In particular, in Russian hospitals, diagnoses and the nature of combat injuries are deliberately simplified and no time is given for rehabilitation in order to quickly return servicemen to the combat zone.” This information could not be corroborated. The Kremlin has yet to respond.

A good video by Al Jazeera . Some of it is pretty obvious but it's interesting none the less.

It wouldn't be a big leap since they are off alot of the bills already

So if there is someone I don't like , say the owner of a large multi national Corp, I should head to their funeral and crack jokes and mock them ? No , I wouldn't because it's insulting for mourners. The world needs alot more courtesy not more Maga style insults and mocking. It will be interesting to see where he takes it. He certainly will be a supporter fighting climate change and of the Green movement in general . But walking in her shoes is a tall order.

You don't get what I was saying. I'm talking about your rude treatment of other people. Not your opinion of the monarchy. I expected more of you.

Someone just died that millions of people care about . You can be as anti monarch as you want but the thoughtful and kind thing to do would be to leave them to mourn in there own way . Making jokes Iwithin hours IS thoughtless and ignorant towards them regardless of your own opinion.

PM Trudeau made a pretty good statement / comment.He did a good job of encapsulating what she was all about.

More ignorant and thoughtless in my. opinion

Tracker said "Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and that loss bothers him every single day of his life. It follows him around during his every waking moment. Trump’s life and legacy are defined by the fact that he lost on the biggest election stage in the entire world " Lol, that's my happy thought for the day.

It's a beautiful thing.

How is that not flagged !

Woo Hoo!

Legs ! Hammers it !

Why would you challenge that ?

Great drive to pick up 3 more

Sweet !!!

Time for a pick

Demski!!!

If DeSantis can scoop up the Trump/ Mega crowd I think he is worse. Trump is a megalomaniac who really only cares about one thing. Trump. It's all he believes in.A grown-up petulant child still trying to prove he is the most important person in the world. DeSantis on the other hand actually believes in all that crap that he spews out on a regular basis. His idealology could turn the US into the Christian version of the Islamic State. He's a scary potential candidate for the POTUS .

It's the same mentality as down South. " My freedoms ! My rights ! What ever I want is a right !" But the wants, freedom and rights of everyone else don't count and should be squashed with a Jackboot.

There were so many lies told in that referendum. On an AG end the separatists told Quebec Dairy farmers they would remain part of the CANADIAN Dairy marketing board. They basicly campaigned say I g they would keep whatever they wanted ( things that would benefit them) and toss whatever they didnt want. As if it would be their choice alone. And people bought what they were selling. The other massive issue was what would have happened on 1st nations. I distinctly remember The head of the Northern Chiefs saying " Nobody is telling us what country we belong to " .A yes vote would have been one hell of a disaster.

Mark F said " we act as though we are not subject to laws of nature " I'll be stealing that quote at some point. I like it.

Absolutely , alot of the CO2 emissions in China and India are created producing products for the rest of the world. The sooner we as individuals wake up to the fact that we as individuals are the problem the better. Everything we do, everything we eat, everywhere we go has a cost. We ,particularly in the West like to do alot, eat alot and go to alot of places. I don't think 7 billion of our species is sustainable unfortunatly.

I'm hoping that as China ,the world's largest producer of CO2 , gets smacked by climate change they may take the lead in changing to fight it. Perhaps threats to their domination of the world's industries may do it. Their leadership certainly has the power if they have the will. All this horrendous weather news and yet : https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/24/uk-and-us-banks-among-biggest-backers-of-russian-carbon-bombs-data-shows
