Timothy Williams5 said:Jane, you've become so naturalized that I sometimes wonder if you aren't actually Russian at all, but just some local jokester😁

Jason Martin said:So, I guess we're enemies now? 😱 I'm half expecting a furious statement from the Russian ambassador, something along the lines of: "See? This is exactly what happens when you let those bureaucrats in Brussels run the show."

Paul Thomas46 said:Exactly.

Is that enough to be labeled one-sided now? Or should we start adding them to our own list too, just to make sure the impact is truly felt?... 🙏

gentlestag15 said:So now we're enemies too, John? Why don't you go hang out on the forums for friendly countries
like Mexico, North Korea, or Iran 😁

Paul Thomas46 said:Wait, haven't we been on a list like this before? 🤔

I mean, they've definitely put us on a list already—though I'm not quite sure which one, honestly...

Is this the definitive version, or are they just going to keep shuffling us onto different lists?

I can't possibly keep track of it all... 😢

Paul Thomas46 said:I don't think that's really the reason—they have those massive desks regardless, and they would've used them even if COVID hadn't happened.

It’s all about projecting grandeur and power—you know, using high-end polished wood.
Honestly, it's enough to make you want to dive into some Freudian analysis...

How is Goldman Sachs going to spin this one? Some kind of "special goodwill mission"? 😬

goldenowl73 said:I actually read somewhere that more people were killed in that recent missile strike on Kremenchuk than all the civilian casualties recorded throughout all of 2020 and 2021 in Donbas combined.

Oh right, I forgot, those are just "Asian hordes" to you—second-class victims, so it doesn't really count, I guess.☕

I should probably point out, though, that for the people who love using that phrase about "Asian hordes" (which the pro-Ukrainian crowd seems to adore), the concept of an invasion from Asia actually started on Germany's eastern border.

Sandra Harris2 said:Come on, Vladek wouldn't be whining like that—what's wrong with you? He's a total macho man.🙂

Maybe if you poked him hard enough, a vein might actually pop out from under all those layers of Botox or whatever else he's got going on.😬🕺

Sandra Harris2 said:The day before yesterday, when a reporter asked Ursula von der Leyen if it was okay for Putin to visit Indonesia or if he should just call in from Moscow, she replied: "No, he needs to be told to his face what we think of him."

Such a shame, a missed opportunity ☕...

This morning I heard that Italy is planning an increase of 10,000, but don't take that as gospel—either because Italians can be cowards (aside from their Prime Minister), or because I was sleepy and hadn't had my coffee yet (it was only 5:40 AM). 🕺
