In first world countries we have this thing called a cellphone that occasionally uses a thing called autocorrect which might cause some spelling gaffs. Maybe you'll get one eventually so you can understand the context.

Does your first world cellphone not allow you to proofread your posts and correct autocorrect errors before submitting the post?

Or, is your judgement impaired this Friday afternoon to the point that you can't determine if your autocorrect has made an error?

NOTE: Threat level raised to DefCon 3.

I think me making him realize he is exploiting immigrant labor really set him off. I just want to see people paid a fair wage. He had this whole story trying to make himself look like such a good person for hiring them too.

Sorry, I don't think much of you so I wasn't worried about proofreading my response like I would be with someone actually wanting to discuss the issues this thread is about

You're obsessed with what I pay the husband and wife team who takes care of my yard because after I posted what I pay them each time they mow my yard you did the math and realized I pay each of them more per hour than what you make.

Is your employer exploiting you?

The husband has told me more than once that I'm their best paying customer. I doubt they think I am"exploiting" them.

I'm not obsessed with anything, I'm concerned with your exploitation of immigrant labor. And I would wager that I make way more than you maybe not counting the disability checks you get since you apparently can't take care of your own house.

So they don't even realize you're exploiting them, makes it even more sad.

The EU is locking down $246 billion in Russian assets indefinitely until Moscow pays reparations.

In my case, my typing fingers make lots of errors, even back in the required typing class on manual typewriters in 9th grade. I generally overlook typos unless I want to phuck with someone

I don't think that will be anywhere near enough to cover the costs.

It isn't but it will allow the Ukrainians to fight for years to come and help to cripple the Russian military's rebuilding efforts.

And, while I'll never know, I've got imagine losing $250B has gotta hurt.....

No, it’s not apples for apples, but something is better than nothing.

The dropping price of oil will probably hurt Putin more especially if it keeps getting lower.

It already is. Breakeven in 2015 was $50 per barrel.

Rather eye opening talk here from Friedman regarding the new National Security Doctrine. Russia is basically a backwater now, Europe needs to get its shiite together and China and Russia need to stop phucking around in the Americas.

Ignoring the cold hard fact that Putin has been consistantly obstructing all peace proposals and knows his life depends on total victory in Ukraine, let's look at the latest proposal from the White House Clowns.

The TACO mafia is starting to see that empty threats won't work on Kyiv. Finally. Ukraine is winning this war and are not going to give up large portions of their country to the loser.

So the Witkoff - Kuschner gang are adjusting their demands here with the addition of postwar reconstruction aid and binding security guarantees. It won't work because no one trusts these birds any further than they can throw them.

Legal, realistic and substantive guarantees of postwar reconstruction aid and binding security can only come from the US Congress in a binding treaty with the EU / NATO countries. You know, the non-TACO components of governement.

We won't see any substantive progress on a peace agreement until after the midterms this November. Cease fire, maybe. Peace agreement, no. The Ukrainians hold all the cards.


quote:

The Trump administration is preparing to offer Ukraine a legally binding security guarantee modeled on NATO’s Article 5, which would require congressional approval. The proposal is part of a broader peace initiative discussed during upcoming meetings in Berlin between President Zelensky and Trump advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as leaders from Germany, France, and the UK.

The U.S. plan reportedly includes three components: a ceasefire, postwar reconstruction aid, and binding security guarantees. While significant progress has been made on the latter two, territorial concessions, particularly over parts of Donbas, remain the key unresolved issue. Zelensky has floated the idea of a public referendum, which some European leaders say they would support.
