I had the same experience at the Post Office today. Took me a few minutes to figure out WTF. I don't think they did this for other presidents, but I am not sure.
Ukrainian soldiers training in France are going AWOL in France and deserting in large numbers in Ukraine.
I guess it's a part of French training:)

He was standing behind yellow line. We don't know how long he was looking at his phone. Maybe just reading a text from someone important. I would stand further away, but he wasn't acting unreasonable by any means. He was pushed forcefully and few more feet probably would not make a difference.
Belarus is not even a good ally, much less a puppet state. There is a mutual defense treaty between Russia and Belarus. They were obligated to send troops when Kursk region was invaded. They never did.
There are no Russia's puppet states. Russia's closest ally, Belarus, is only holding Putin's coat, while getting all sorts of economic benefits for it.
Zelensky destroyed his country by handing it over to people who use it as a battle field and its people as war slaves.
Not all Russians are willing to die for their country, but definately enough to make Russia uncunquerable to some of the best armies of Europe. Imperial, Soviet or post-Soviet; "no one dies twice and all are mortal" has been the moto of Russian Military.
Most of Ukrainians are members of the...
There will be no end to the conflict without collapse of either Russian or Ukrainian government. Collapse of Russian government is not going to happen.
Russian Federation and newly emerged government of Ukraine, when that happens, will make a deal that restores Ukraine's neutrality and reverses...
It's being reported that Ukrainian F-16 was shot down while trying to launch missiles against Russian forces in Zaporozhye region. They started using them in offensive role just recently and it's nothing to brag about.
Enough with game changer bullshit already. Ukraine will lose this war. It's...
Build something you can shoot regularly and enjoy, instead of another safe queen. There are good CMP matches in your area. They mostly shoot AR-15 service rifle. These are not difficult to build. 20" free-floated barrel, 4.5lb two stage trigger, 4.5x scope. Most of the parts are standard...
Had a memorable experience at Home Depot in mid-1990's. Went there at around 7pm to pick up a few small items, don't even remember what. Came home at around 11pm. There was an incident in a bar across the street, where someone came back with a gun and there was a hostage situation. Cops placed...
WWII (Great Patriotic War) resulted in much bigger losses, destruction and very little territorial gains for the Soviet Union. Very few people call it a Pyrrhic victory.
I have an E-tool and hobo knife in my vehicle. E-tool came in handy a few times to dig out from icy snow. Never used hobo knife. Individually wrapped plastic utensils from Taco Bell are much more convenient and sanitary.
Bullshit stats. NATO is losing this proxi-war. They can't hide it, so they inflate Russian loses to save face. Every time the media reports on Ukrainian retreat they tell about Russian loses, which they have no way of knowing.
I made two trips to Canada. Once in mid-1980's to visit wife's distant relatives in Montreal. You could just drive through. They didn't even want to see driver's license.
Second time was around 1998, on a family trip to Niagara Falls. They did check papers and the vehicle on our way back. We...
No names made available of Bucha victims. Why? Because they were killed by Ukrainian brown shirts for welcoming or cooperating with the Russians. Now Russians started their own investigation.
FUCK YOU CANADA!!! If they are not celebrating Waffen SS veterans, they are stealing guns from law abiding gun owners and sending them to Ukrainian Nazis.
How about a Maidan in Ottawa.
My older RCBS Chargemaster contains a scale which can be used as a separat unit and it was also sold as a separate unit. They sell stand alone scales that use the same technology. Avoid cheap portable electronic scales. The frustration of using them is not worth it.
RCBS has a good reputation. It's not as accurate and consistent as lab grade scales, but does a good job for 95% of reloaders. If you get it before the end of the year, you will qualify for RCBS rebate.
Regardless of Russia's demands and conditions, the war in Ukraine was already going on when Russia invaded. This doesn't parallel WWII attacks and invasions by axis.
NATO is part of a problem, it can't be a part of the solution. Any peace deal should be mediated by a neutral country. In the end...
The war started when Kiev government sent troops to suppress break away Donbas regions. Kiev government even gave it a name, ATO (anti terrorist operation).
Historical fact. The war in Ukraine was already going on when Russia invaded. Shelling of Donbass was a war. Civil war or war for independence, it was a WAR.
He softened his demands by saying he can agree to a ceasefire while Russia is still in control of disputed territory. He didn't give up his claim to any 1991 territory. The terms for freezing the conflict being proposed by General Kellogg will be unacceptable to Russia. They been down that road...
White House is considering giving nukes to Ukraine. At least two U.S. lawmakers openly advocating it. So far it's a no go, but that was the routine for crossing every previous escalation line. Putin could be left with no choice.
NATO has access to Oreshnick impact site and can easily verify what Putin has said about its capabilities. It wouldn't make any sense for Putin to make claims about Oreshnick that weren't true. The missile didn't carry explosive payload, next one probably will. Power of a nuke, but without...
