The Ukrainians are blasting the shit out of Stanislav and if they cut off access across the Kakhovka Dam the Russians on the Western side of the Dnipro River will face some serious logistical issues. Getting ...

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

I imagine the new Russian submarine with a nuclear torpedo the size of a school bus would have New York...

Re: AAA: Ask America Anything

The Tik Tok was about abortion rights, but interesting how comments rapidly morphed into healthcare rights. Are there only two areas where the U.S. deviates markedly from other western democracies? Guns and healthcare?
