I am also not Canadian but I recently saw one walking the street. Did not ask him anything but saw the maple leaf stitched insignia on his backpack and assumed he disliked Canada so much that he fled the country, or so I like to think.
Don’t know what that has to do with Stroll but anyways…
I love how you give all this reasonable and sensible advice on movements and equipment but I think the russian army is just not that clever, disciplined and equipped to do all the things you mention, nor do they care 😂
They’d be throwing rocks and shovels if russian command demands them to. It’s a meat grinder, they do not care about personnel, they expect you to give up because you cannot keep up with the killing of their men. That is the russian tactic and way of doing things. Overwhelm you with bodies and once the surviving bodies get a hold of you, they will be brutal towards you like you live in a nightmare, due to the facts that the surviving soldiers will have an insane amount of hate towards you for killing so many of their comrades. Ask Germany how that went at the end of the war.

People in power are put into or were allowed to seize that power. Not saying 100% of russia is behind putin but enough are. For me russians are part of the proble and I will not defer to putin and make him a scapegoat. russians need to take responsibility and until they do, I have no kindness or consideration for them.
Nuance is all fine and well, I bet the people getting raped and killed will have (had) a different opinion. I will stand with Ukraine if you do not mind and leave sympathy where it belongs: Ukraine
Now why would the world hate russia, hmmm? Could it be the war and killing you do in Ukraine? The threats against other democracies? The bullying of other countries and persons? The megalomaniac tendencies of that monkey putin?
No sympathy from me…
Ok, thanks for answering. For the record, I’m not trying to push you anywhere. I was just curious.
Without forcing you or others with my opinion, I do think not voting or voting 3rd party is helping trump but in this I could be wrong, just a hunch I have. Good luck come November!
So now you’ve done you soapbox bit and stepped down to breath again, I have a question.
You say “stopped holding your nose”, what does that mean? Who is it you will vote for?
I will make this statement once more as I see people defending the bombing of Palestinians because of various reasons. I will not go into these reasons as they matter zero to my statement. Here it is:
You do not bomb your way through children to get at your target. Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin could be hiding amongst or beneath, you Do Not Bomb Your Way Through Children.
This is a simple fact and if you cannot agree with this then in my mind you are despicable and a monster. Vaporizing children into a red mist will never solve your problems. Past transgressions of your enemy does not change this simple fact. It really is that simple.
Yet I feel people here seem to forget this simple rule. Disgusting.
Actions do indeed speak but you do not have that yet with trump. He makes statements, wild ones where anyone with common sense would want to block that idiot from ever being close to a post office, let alone being a president of the US.
So while Biden could do do things differently, his actions tell us he is making the wrong calls.
Trump would, according to his own words, round up protestors and have them deported, crush them (whatever that means). He want israel to be able to continue without restrictions. Biden might not do all the right things, I agree, but to compare him on this topic with trump is just plain wrong.
Just another boogeyman scare
This comment is on the same level as “just locker room talk”.
One is not doing what he needs to be doing, Biden. The other, trump, straight up talks about fascism and dictatorship every single day, for months now.
You are making this a ‘both sides’ issue it seems to me and that is wrong. You know it is wrong, I will assume you are not brain dead, so it begs the question: why do you downplay of what trump is telling you what he will do? Do you have some secret info on trump you want to share with us or should we just go ahead and listen to the guy and go with ‘he means that’?
Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school ‘adventures’ that made racing so dangerous and exciting?
Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?
Very happy for Charles!
But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

Not to be rude or anything but your responses sound very much like it was generated by AI.
People in this thread talking about how these are humans and we need to have some compassion?
How about you reserve that compassion for the Ukrainians killed by those same bastards?
You walk into a country not yours and start shooting, killing people that live there? I could not care less if you get shot or blown to pieces when you do that. It really is that simple.
Is Moms for Liberty still a thing?
Been calling them ‘Moms for Hitler’ for months and months now.
reddit, which in itself is pretty left-leaning.
Thanks, I needed a good chuckle this morning and this absolute nonsense hit the right spot!
I know what lobbying is and what forms it can take. In the end it is all about influencing a political system by bypassing the electorate.
Lets take this statement of yours:
“Real lobbying is simply educating policy makers on the change you want to happen. You can’t reasonably expect every politician to be educated on every issue.”
And this is why you should have a well working and functioning government. Politicians are elected and should have a global idea on what to do for the populace, they elected them after all. The knowledge you refer to should not be completely on these politicians. They might have some, based on their life experiences and education. The continuity and knowledge should come from civil servants. They are the cement of government, the persons who make the wheels go around. Ok, cement and wheels do not go well together but you get the gist of it.
Listen, we are (or soon very likely) going around in circles. I understand that the current system of lobbying is what people know and expect, even rely on, see your example of your SO. Of course you see the benefit of a system which is used for centuries, millennia perhaps even. It is, in my view, a broken and infectious system, meant to overrule the will of the people. Brought to you by powers that want continuous access and influence in a government but in the disguise of “being helpful”.
I don’t know what to say or how to explain it anymore then I already did.
This is a bit weird to me. The FIA changed the rules after an exceptional talent came into F1: Max Verstappen
Now they want to change the rules because an exceptional talent might come in and you want a loophole for that.
This is borderline schizophrenic to me. You change the rules after an exceptional talent, how is that ruling not contradicting your current actions?
