Posted in: Russia advances to east-central Ukrainian region amid row over dead soldiers See in context

For some reason Ukraine spent a lot of resources on the Russian nuclear bomber airplanes which are not, and very highly unlikely, to be active in attacking Ukraine. Meanwhile they are losing significant area on the ground.

The drone attack was a drop in the bucket compared with Ukraine's defensive campaign, but the net result was more than satisfactory. In any case the defensive and offensive campaigns are not mutually exclusive.

Palace fans going bananas non stop for 100 minutes.

Have been to Selhust Park (as an away fan) and experienced them going off. Must be one of the loudest fanbases in English football.

Brilliant result. Well done.

I didn't have any real queues or internet issues. My phone battery was fine like it is any other busy day.

It was great.

I've booked some pavilion space for a day for my company clients drinks and foods. Some country pavilions are offering that.

But...how many coffees do you have to sell , in a place with limited "walking traffic " to make a living.

Doesn't have to and he probably doesn't care. I'm about to do the same with a micro-pub. It's for me & my mates more than anything but customers can enjoy it too if they want.

Trump isn't "siding" with Russia...He's siding with an end to the slaughter of young men...on both sides

Naive

Charles can do whatever he wants, but he doesn't have the authority to hand over taxpayers' money and weapons.

Or maybe he could donate a big chunk of his personal fortune?

Another complete lack of understanding of how things work.

Both world wars were caused by Europe - the very same countries that are trying to get another one started.

Trump is Putin's lapdog. He worships Putin and will do whatever he's told.

What's the alternatives to Skype for calling landlines around the world? I find it very useful for only that purpose and will need a substitute.

He had his hands tied, it runs too deep to deal with in the priesthood.

Then what's the point of him or the Catholic church. It's been rotten to the core since it started.

The primary goal of a Christian missionary is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and inculcate people to become disciples, for example.

Yes. Have seen those horrendous people cycling around in Japan to spread their bile and try to entice people into their particular brand of Christianity. They are usually American. I was accosted in a hotel lobby in Yokohama by one of them. I had to tell him quite forcibly to F.O. in the end.
