    and they have the gall to refer to others as nazis. When the UK defense secy referred to Russia as a cancerous growth he was right.

    This doesn't appear to be relayed to Ukraine and the war effort. The incident us not unlike incidents that happen here in the US and around the globe. Stuff happens like buildings collapsing, bridges commapsing, fires, industrial accidents etc... All of which the public deals with on a daily basis.

    100% agree. Worse, it is a rare contagious form of cancer that risks spreading to others. But I only know one oncologist with the skill to treat this disease, and he is doing little more than giving advice from the golf course right now.

    Hard to assess without some historical data to compare against. Not that Russian records, could we even see them, are trustworthy.

    I'd say fires at enlistment offices, ammo dumps, etc have a high likelihood of being nefarious, the rest - meh - who knows.

    Still think it could be a healthy mix of Ukraine secret missions and Russians against the war. Plus no fuel means less that they have available to sell or use for their tanks, etc.

    Relatively minor but notable nevertheless.

    Florida pension Russian investments

    In the intervening months since Russia invaded Ukraine, oil prices have risen, inflation has increased, and the state of Florida has reportedly lost millions due to investment in Russia. Even before the losses, Florida Democrats had urged the state to divest itself from the money it’s invested in Russian companies.

    Now, Democrat Andrew Learned (D-Brandon) says the state’s pension fund has lost $200 million from its investments in Russia, following sanctions on the country due to the war. The state reportedly has $300 million invested in Russia-based companies.

    “We don't arm Ukraine so we can help the Ukrainians. They are merely unfortunate pawns in all of this, We arm Ukraine so that we can punish Russia. Why? For stealing Hillary Clinton's coronation."

    Good thing that pos wasn't around in WWII. I can only imagine what lines of BS he would have spouted against our war effort.

    That’s a dog gone shame. Don’t you just hate it. So many fires at Russian war-making facilities. Will make a great Dirty Dozen type movie one day.
