So that charities hire locals to do the work retirees are willing to do for free. I guess the government prioritizes protection of job market for locals over the benefits to charities from free labor.

It’s actually Lady Graham

Just posted it under: “Interview with Stephen Kotkin”

Here’s another interesting article: https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/how-the-war-in-ukraine-ends

Turkey is opportunistic - they will do anything to turn a dollar. Erdogan doesn’t have a problem with war profiteering either. He learned early on of the impact of Russian tourism on Turkey’s economy, so he’s trying to work both sides. They made a pretty penny selling Turkish real estate to Russians (I wonder if they’re going to try to correct the construction deficiencies in the rest of the country).

Furthermore, Turkey has been selling Bayraktar drones to the Ukraine

Not any more. Remember “…I love poorly educated!”

1. Putin may turn 71 this year, and had Vovochka with his mnogokhodovochka not screwed the whole Russia, he could have presided while embalmed like Brezhnev. 2. Chernenko was literally decomposing when he was appointed to head the Soviet Union. 3. At least they are not shitting themselves like you know who. Now we know what Z stands for: Zasranets

Sure. Remember USSR?

I usually get Samsonites from Costco and return/replace if damaged

1. If Russia gets away with land grabbing in the Ukraine, it will continue its expansion to the west and south reclaiming the lost territories of former USSR, including NATO members, which will result in enactment of Article 5 and WW3 = nuclear war. 2. Sorry, too long to list. Here’s one reference to his bias: https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/mar/08/rights-advocates-attack-freeman-pick/

1. Russia’s victory in Ukraine would bring us to a nuclear war 2. Full of inaccuracies and biased opinions

Between - yes, among - no 😆

John McCain was an honorable man and a great patriot of the USA. I don’t think there are many republicans left that have not been soiled by their association with Trump. John Kasich, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Slim Pickings…?

Could be worse… Russia could be concerned about discrimination of the rights of its citizens there and conduct a referendum on absorbing the province into the Russian Federation. In the process, Putin, the second greatest historian of all times (because Trump is the greatest everything of all times) would announce that all Thais are from Alt(h)ai and the Kingdom had never had any statehood outside of Altai Krai and Altai Republic, and the whole country should come back to Mother Russia as Novoaltai (New Altai).

While Biden foreign policy seems to suffer from his personal weakness (i.e. foot in mouth), suggesting that that of Trump was better is tragic if it comes from Americans and allies, and comic if it comes from their adversaries

This is not the time for isolationists

As strange as it is, there he is - back at the same bar - having forfeited quite handsome an income. I wonder if he realizes how long and how much it will take him (time and effort) to make up for it.

He could be seriously sick. Could that be one of the clues for his disappearance? In some countries there’s mandatory isolation for active hepatitis A 🤔 Of course that does not explain all other stunts he performed

Yellow as in jaundice?

I thought Saddam was an asshole but still strongly opposed Iraq invasion and disapproved Dubya’s policies. Similarly, Russians don’t have to be Zelenskyy’s fans in order to realize what murderous a maggot they have for a president

I don’t know how true this 80% is if they have to monitor social media for all the cuss words next to his name or image: https://zona.media/article/2023/02/10/bzdlo
