I mean, I guess I get Ukrainians better than I ever could understand Canadians. 😁
Gregory Ramos3 said:Probably... I was just catching some news on CNN about how Romanian planes intercepted a Ukrainian fighter that drifted into their airspace, since they've been ramping up patrols and staying on high alert since Thursday...
Benjamin Taylor6 said:It’s a bit premature to be shipping those transport units toward Moscow right now.
Paul Bennett8 said:I guess the joke's on us then—ICBMs (the kind carrying nukes) with an 11,000km range have been spotted being moved at a few different sites.

So, I just saw some reports about a Topol-M ICBM being prepped for launch—apparently carrying a warhead capable of hitting the USA—over in western Russia. They’ve got something like twenty of those things stationed right in that sector, and honestly, it feels like it has absolutely nothing to do with the situation in Ukraine. Just my two cents, I guess.
Quote : Sunny Ways said:That tank and those two vehicles are all part of the same unit... they were just posing as Ukrainians after crossing the line. They realized who they actually were pretty fast once they got caught, and then they got absolutely crushed.
And that’s really all there is to it.

Electricity and heat are being fully supplied to Kyiv, according to a statement given to UNIAN by Mykola Povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the Kyiv City Administration.
"We aren't looking at any risk of blackouts. Everything is up and running. There’s really no threat of disconnections here. Yeah, there were some explosions near the Tetz-6 plant, but the power station itself didn't take any hits. We've got another shift on duty right now. Everyone's clocked in and making sure the city keeps its lights on and stays warm." - he said.
Leman_Russ said:Has it even crossed anyone's mind that the Ukrainians might just blow up those gas pipelines themselves if they realize the game is up? Maybe it’s some EU revenge tactic because they're total cowards, or maybe it’s just about hitting Russia where it hurts—cutting off their cash flow.
And then, obviously, since there's no gas flowing anymore, Russia loses one of its biggest bargaining chips.
I mean, looking at the data here, half of it moves right through Ukraine.
Grace Wood5 said:I think we both know what I was getting at here. 🙂
I wasn't asking for special treatment from lonetrucker4, and I don't expect to get any. We agree on some things and clash on others.
This isn't the first thread where the concerned crowd has tried to unnecessarily kick lonetrucker4 to the curb, and I just couldn't sit there and stay quiet anymore.
The only reason I call him "Sharp" is because I think he's way too soft when it comes to policing the nonsense posted on this forum—but again, that's just my personal take.
Anyway, I'm done with this topic. I said what I needed to say, and my coffee is getting cold. 😉
Grace Wood5 said:Look, sorry, but responding to your concerned post was just a reaction—it wasn't provocation.
And as you’ve so graciously observed, this was one of the rare times your concern was actually correctly identified and assessed.
But like I said, driftingtinker is taking over that role. The moderator setup is different now, and there's less tolerance for nonsense. Consequently, I (likely the biggest troll and spammer on this entire board) will be getting banned way more often, leaving you all free to keep posting exactly how you always have. 🙂
Jeremy Johnson18 said:One of the first things I suggested when I stepped up to mod was that people try taking a slightly different approach with you. Honestly, I thought it was just an issue with the politka side of things.
Obviously, that didn't work and I just ended up looking like a naive idiot, but I'm glad you and Andreja are on good terms now.
So, it actually works after all. 👍
Jerry Robinson56 said:Review:
😂 Fantastic. If my memory serves me right, I received a similar warning ages ago, though it was retracted immediately, so technically it doesn't count.
But look, since moderator Jeremy Johnson18 stated that moderator recommendations actually carry weight... why don't you try pushing for a pardon on his behalf?
Larry Walker24 said:Oh yeah, give that guy an Oscar already!! 😂 😂 😂
As for me—what kind of nonsense is this ban? Then I look up and my blood pressure hits the ceiling. He doesn't even moderate that section. And of course, I just get hit with canned responses.

From Nice—she's actually given me my biggest streak (can't say exactly how many, but it's a lot)
I keep a running tally of my cards, so I always know exactly who’s been hitting me up (not counting yellows)
At one point, I hit 990 points
The absolute peak, though—getting carded while you're already banned
