    The aggressor nation gets no vote, especially when they're getting their ass kicked on the daily. Ukrainians say "Kyiv", I say "Kyiv". Same goes for "the", if the natives ain't using it then why should I?

    I was reading last night that Russian troops are leaving Ukraine through Chernobyl, on their way to Belarus.

    Some people think this is a good sign, while others think things are about to get really ugly.

    Yeah, my first thought was that they're getting ready to use some gas or chemical warfare.

    There are some reports coming out that Abramovitj may have suffered some light poisoning…

    The love of poison in Russian ops is strange from my western perspective as poison here is typically seen as “feminine”.

    Hm. Never thought about it like that.

    Everything done is underhanded and sneaky and deniable. Lie to your face and gaslight you, no prob problem.

    I saw that they either suffered light poisoning or were affected by something causing light radiation burns, but that too much time had passed to determine the cause. These men targeted are Russians oligarchs serving as diplomats who would like to end the war. The damage is meant to be a warning.

    It’s seen as feminine because the stats on use in murders bears it out. It’s passive and indirect. Dudes are just insane and will strangle a motherfucker with their bare hands. Women not typically able to over power physically resort to poison more often. The only real subset of serial killers that are women are the “angel of death” nurses that overdose their patients with meds.

    Just put the poison near the bottom of the coffee tin. They’ll get to it eventually, gradually.

    At least Russia didn’t follow through with holding an American astronaut hostage.

    Yeah, if they weren’t training for this scenario before, they are now.

    LOL Yeah, maybe improve serving no-knock warrants outside of a perfect vacuum first. How about maybe teaching astronauts not to get kidnapped, hmmmm? Tutor them that all they need is a fire extinguisher to escape to the nearest space station.

    Do astronauts in Canada serve no-knock warrants?

    No. People here are arrested via the art of “not making much of a fuss” (unless they’re native of course). Same way Canada became a country, there was no war with Britain— we just annoyed them until they rolled their eyes and let it go.

    I thought we killed Germans until they realized that fighting us was probably a bad idea.

    Just wrote an estimate for a customer who is Ukrainian. The damage to her car was relatively extensive so I apologized for the amount of time it was taking. She looked up from her phone and said no problem as she's trying to coordinate getting family out of Ukraine. So we chatted about that for a little bit and she said she had a tough convo with her dad about trying to get him to leave. She teared up a little talking how proud she is of her dad but also how worried she is about him.

    One thing to watch the reports on TV vs talking to someone who has a personal connection to it.
