One more misguided idiot caught. I'll bet he thought he got away. Surprise.

At the rate Russia is losing its hardware the military is having difficult time replacing so much so that army is reactivating Soviet era battle tank that has sat in mothball for decades.

Their air force was supposed to clear the sky of Ukrainian air force but failed to do so and instead are getting shot down so much so that they rarely make sortie into Ukrainian territory.

Their navy have suffered major embarrassment when guided missile cruiser Moskova was sunk by Ukrainian cruise missiles and navy was forced to restrict movement of their ships in Black Sea due to fear of losing more ships.

Perhaps ruin is wrong term. More correctly, Russian military will be severely weakened and will be no shape to do another Ukrainian style invasion should the war continue unabated.

I read that estimated Russian troops killed in action or wounded already surpassed 100,000. That is a loss hard to swallow especially when Russia is on its way to shrinking population even before the war.

Still, I hope I am wrong and peace negotiation at least will be attempted by both countries.

Russia is not serious about peace negotiation. Putin must be dreaming that no matter how painful it is Russia will emerge as final victor except as time passes he will be strangulated financially, his military ruined, his country end up as pariah of the West.

Perfect crime committed.

Good plan. Either Putin attend or he will be exposed as liar who want no peace treaty with Ukraine.

Balkan version of Middle East. Both opposing parties hate each other so much which is sad thing.

That will be the day if Modi can pull rabbit out of the hat and make Putin concede and withdraw from Ukraine.

Thanks for the info. That answer some question as to why China did not distribute western vaccine sooner.

Though Moderna did lose millions I agree that it was good decision to not manufacture in China itself.

Finally, Xi or someone convinced Xi to stop being an idiot and start using western vaccine. Too many people unnecessarily died though.

Now, people have fighting chance for survival which is way long overdue.

Well here is an article I found where the author gave his opinion on which country did most harm to China and it is not Japan. When I read it I was surprised at his analysis.

That I understand. After being stomped to the ground so often it is natural to want to be strong and able to dictate terms instead of receiving it.

This is not only China but every countries had to show strength if they don't want to be taken advantage of.

Yup, Japan sure did mess around with China in the past but subjectively, I feel Great Britain did even greater sh*t with China by introduction of opium and making drug addicts out of many Chinese and then starting opium war to extract even greater concession out of China.

In other words, there were more than one countries that took advantage out of hell with China in the past.

Edit: And for those who claim that Japan is the worse read this article first before making that statement.

I know it is tit-for-tat but maybe Japan should reciprocate? For sure China will be pretty pissed if they get same treatment it does to other countries.

If people complain about Ukraine being corrupt then I feel that country is much less corrupted than Russia.

Ukraine is fighting for dear life from being overrun by invading Russian troops. Allow Putin to swallow Ukraine and it will set precedent to other dictators and autocrats that it is okay to invade neighboring country.

That's right. I had forgotten about that.

The last presidential ranking Trump surprisingly was not dead last. That "honor" went to James Buchanan though Trump was ranked 41 out of 44.

Trump committed so many criminal acts that surely he will be ranked the worst president elected.

Covid is still around. Be prepared but also prepare for the worse because it is going to morph again and again as all virus does.

That is one beautiful picture of Yosemite.

Trying to be greedy but ended up costing more.

Disgusting! Accidentally killing an animal is bad enough but deliberately killing? That kind of person is dangerous in that he may graduate to killing more than an animal. Hope the police catch him and throw him in jail.

Gorgeous. You just can't get a photo like this in the city with all the light pollutions.

That would be scary. I hope that is not the case.
