Dangerous times indeed.


Particularly dangerous when folks are willing to repeat absolute lies.

Got a credible source for your “killed around 100 Russian soldiers” story?

The US did bomb pro-regime forces. They did estimate casualties at about 100. Those forces were using Russian equipment.

But that is NOT the same as Russian Soldiers.

What if they were Russian mercenaries? Do you think that targeting them would be a step too far in the current climate? Or perhaps a sharp message to get out of the sandbox?

Look up how many people died from heart disease and car 'accidents' today, then get back to me about dangerous times.

My parents' house had one of those. We used it as our "fort" when we were kids

It was pretty popular to alter them so they said allout he with the double l. Which I guess would have been accurate had they ever been used as intended.

Cool. I hope you got extra mayonnaise on that. It works better than Armor All on interior plastics.

Agree with Kira here, a nice side show, probably as old as the humanity itself.

More people died yearly from smoking cigarettes than all those combined.

The cold war is in cyberspace these days. Russia likes trying to steer the direction if this country with computets, not military weapons.

More people die from being MORTAL every year than all of every thing combined.

The MIC (Military industrial complex ) must have an enemy so we can continue to waste trillions. Endless war is the result. Continuous war keeps the money flowing. As predicted by George Orwell.

We need a strong military even if though there is no war(s).

Orwell predicted nothing. He simply brought up something that was going on for centuries in a fictional book.
Look up how and who financed almost every single war in Europe going back at least a thousand years.

Backbone of a Cold War.

Russian submarines passing through our naval patrols, our sonar nets, laying off our largest cities, listening to our rock and roll while they conduct missile drills?


Serious, I'd agree.

Look how close they moved their country to all those bases...clearly provocative.

Did you even know that cigarette smoking is not an actual cause of death, but rather a cause of other diseases such as causes heart disease and cancer?

Anyway, in 2015, heart disease killed 633,842 people in the US ( https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm# ) . Traffic fatalities totaled 35,092 the same year ( https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/traffic-fatalities-sharply-2015 ) .

So go ahead and smoke that cigarette while eating that cheeseburger while texting and driving. I don't care, as long as you stay away from me.
