I doubt anyone is a bigger traitor than those currently fleeing Russia. 👍

Apparently, prices have jumped 50% just because everyone wants one—and word on the street is that Chinese manufacturers finally stepped up their game. They’re claiming reliability is solid since they’re sourcing critical parts—transmissions, engines, you name it—from the EU, the USA, and Japan.

Basically, they’re squeezing out all the legacy brands that used to dominate the market. Those sanctions are a total self-inflicted wound, especially for the European Union and Japanese auto industries. 🤦
Even if there’s a Western engine under the hood, the lion's share of the profit still ends up in Chinese hands—which just fuels their ability to crush the competition.

Just another helping of "mommy-approved" facts from a guy posting a video titled "indoctrinating Ukrainian children."

I’m not going to drop a direct link here because, honestly, nobody needs to see that, but it’s already blowing up all over Twitter.
Even Oleksander Scherbina, the former Ukrainian ambassador, has commented on this. There’s also a video circulating of the same guy’s body, missing both his head and his arms. It’s just... it's hard to even process.

First we saw that horrific footage of the prisoner being mutilated, and now we're seeing this medieval-style execution with heads on spikes. Just when you think the Russian forces couldn't sink any lower or be any more depraved, they find a new way to shock the world.

Perhaps the Ukrainians retreated as a gesture of goodwill? Much like those brave souls who target shopping malls?

Even Americans didn't want Russian missiles in Cuba, and they threatened World War III if they weren't removed. That's where the Russians messed up. They probably should have just left the missiles there, given how cheap a third world war is. At least it would have been on a different continent for once.

It almost feels like Finland applied for NATO membership just to take a shot at Russia.
