I didn’t realize they wore navy. I only check on the appointments occasionally but I swear sometimes it seems I am looking at a parody from “The Onion”. but I respect the voters choice. It’s democracy so we wait and see

With some degree of seriousness - all that I can muster - you are right. The voters have spoken - and you don’t need to be a subject matter expert to be a good administrator. He may do a fine job. All things in the fullness of time.

Is that so??? Some have different opinion -see
below Patrick on his utube channel and there are scores like him.
But who is right future will tell us if we live long enough. How about reading or listening : The Nuclear War: A Scenario , written by ANNIE JACOBSEN.
So learn how to extract chips from fridges , washing machines as You have not practiced this skills for the last few decades.
Last but not least :
" If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu
Do you know the enemy ??? Do You know yourself ??? as 50 mln of your folks or abt was not even born in your country including 10-15mln illegals. 2nd Pearl Harbor may not enrgize them as 1st.
" You have to respect your enemy. Never, ever underestimate them. The second you do, they’ll squash you. Be smart about them. Respect their abilities, even if they don’t respect yours. ”
― James Patterson,
Make peace and make babies and be happy. Smoke grass , fornicate 5 times a day . Apply your good Monroe Doctrine and follow Your Great Father teachings to avoid foreign entanglements as it is a destroyer of nations. What is your problem with that??

Clearly. Putin invaded a sovereign nation, Ukraine didn’t invade itself or attack Russia across the border unprovoked.

Clearly Vietnam did not invade itself, Iraq did not invade itself and scores of others. Listen I respect your point of view and am not going to cross swords with You abt interpretation of modern and not so modern history.
You like to perish for …elenski and his gang of penis piano players it is your choice. Mine is different. You want to follow Zbig Brzezinski doctrine , it is your choice .Why shall I do it.?
As i say. Let us live long enough to see who was right but accept the fact there are milions of people who have a different opinion including your country best minds and scholars including movie makers.
I trust them as all they said in the last couple of years has proven true. I said what i thought -my subjective opinion . You said yours . Now lets smoke some grass and be happy 
They did actually. (The North invaded the South.)
Correct, the US invaded Iraq for no good reason.
Most of the world already knows who was right. We also know your sympathies.

Just out of curiosity,
What causes you to believe Putin is the good guy?
@spowiednick , I forget where you say you’re from, Romania, Poland, wherever, idk. If you don’t mind sharing, could you give your opinion of how your fellow citizens feel about the ever escalating war in Ukraine; the US & UK approving the use their ATAMCS & their guidance systems to bomb inside of Russia; also, about pursuing a full scale war with Russia, even a nuclear one if Russia used nuclear weapons in Ukraine first? All the non-Americans I work with & know support Ukraine but not a one of them are as adamant about war as the liberals in the US. So very strange to me because being Anti-War & Anti-“US Police of the World” used to be the cornerstone of liberalism during Iraq II & the Vietnam era. Having to argue war de-escalation with Democrats, how the world changes?

I am aware of your questions as I have seen Your invitation earlier in this thread but was reluctant to chime in due to previous bad experience of exclusion, cancelations, flagging and similar, including deletion of the post , being called names -deregatory like " he is russian , Putin lover , Putinist " and similar. You click on my avatar and You will find my nationality .
I will revert but look at the reaction regarding my comment . These Guys are crazy in my opinion and use hyperbole from the dirty bag of "wokemon " tricks. As to views i am on the extreme right and by exxtreme i mean EXTREME.
The environment i live in is extremely rusophobic due to historical experiences but we are getting slowly fed up with Ukrainians due to their demands and even threats .
We had before war 1.5 mln ukr migrant workforce , after 22 feb 22 it increased to couple of milions refugees but there were zero refugee camps - we took them in our homes , vilages and cities , we embraced them as brothers , their kids went to schools , mothers received gov and private help , social help , pensions , help to settle - all shebang .
We gave them all our russian tanks disarming ourselves , weapons , planes -you name it , per GDP our help was huge .
But this ungratefull sons of bitches are now accusing us of not giving enough. They travel back and forth between PL and UKr just to collect money and go back to Ukr , are always unhappy and demanding more. Imagine !!! there are abt 250 000 young males aged 20-30 loitering here and not even thinking about defending their country.
Abt half of that lot driving luxury cars , eating at best restaurants , enjoing most expensive nightclubs and leaving like kings doing nowbody knows what. We have a sudden increase in veneric and other deseases, huge increase of crimes - nationality is hidden in police criminal reports , all is hush hush.
Special camp was created for Ukrs voluntary recruits to train them here for war - they do not give a shit abt it. And they arleady threathen us they will create Ukr national party and enter local gov structures and more . They have legal advisers who teach them how to milk our social security system , how to rent appartments and later claim ownership or refuse to leave the premises . And police is reluctant to act , afraid as government propagandist , poilticians are pro Ukr for PR and political gains.
In the media ALL comments sections are shut down so people will not inform each other , social media FB and others are monitored - you say sth wrong about Ukr - you are banned, excluded . It is Ukrainian terror we have in this country and people are FED UP .
And i am fed up to read some ignorant idiot living 5-6 thousand miles from here telling me whom to like and whom to not like and having ABSOLUTE ZERO knowledge about our mutual history .
Few weeks before there were stories in the news about Ukrs crossing the border to PL with cars were suitcases were filled with up to 500 000 euros and dollars. Doctors mostly - guess how they made this money -by selling fake docs to avoid drafts. Two three days later these news were immediately shut down not to excite the public. Same with stollen luxury cars from Germany and PL - some were caught valued at 250-300 Thou usd. And immediately such revelations are hushed .
I am afraid local folks will not tolerate it any more and there may be pogroms and bloodshed as the number of illegal arms -( we are not allowed to buy guns like in the US) has increased expotentialy and Ukrs are armed even better with smuggled from the front hardware.
So this is my akward brief on things local . The big politics i will share later .
One more thing as You folks here have no idea about. When the war has started the clown …elensky ( remember that letter Z is not allowed by …elensky decree) has come to our parliament and said : Nu Poles. Untill 220222 we were not big friends , we were not even small friends and sometimes we were enemies. But now we are blood brothers , we love each other and that is the way to be.
Do you know WHY??? Bacause the Big Uncle from beyond the great POND ordered the stupid gov, officials by paying them for obedience .These traitors will be all hanged from the trees and You will hear about it sooner or later .
Now about this war being allegedly russo- ukr war. It is not . Here is a link showing PL initiative in EU to dismantle Russia . Of course it is not PL initiative but US plan using stupid Polacs to talk about it out loud and publicly.
Now put yourself in russian shoes .What would You do if You hear /see such talk about your country. Now let me tell You what I would do if I was in Putin shoes , a patriot loving his country., history etc.
Kiev and some other cities there would be converted into big hot radioactive plasma .I would do it without hesitation as this is existential threat -plans to dismantle your country and land.
And i suspect US and the lapdog UK would not do anything abt it because your societies are still SANE - except your leaders.
Cheers
Find me a post on this forum I said Putin is a good guy and I will buy You a single malt. .
View the video and may be confront Patric and call him American traitor putin lover or whatever.
I have given here a list of famous US personalities, academics, thinkers, intelectuals who share my views or rather I share their views as they have never been wrong during the last couple of years commenting on world politics. I trust them because of that. They are all Americans.
Thanks for sharing. It’s seems you are sincere in what you say & I would have “hearted” your comment if it weren’t for the talk about turning Kiev into plasma. The US didn’t hit Tokyo with the A-Bomb for a reason & I don’t see why, or believe Putin would do that to the capital Kiev either. If Putin & Trump don’t end this war soon I think it will be a lot smaller target with a high concentration of Ukrainian troops. Russian troop movement, wind direction, wind speed & rain fall will be the signals to watch for concerning when & where. About name calling for disagreeing with a war. Thats the American way. During the Vietnam era everyone who disagreed with it were commie-loving, unpatriotic traitors who should of have been imprisoned, shot or thrown out of an airplane over North Vietnam. During the second Iraq invasion John Kerry, all his supporters & everyone who disagreed with Dick Cheney were unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizer. Now the warmongers call us Putin-Lovers, cowards who are unjustifably afraid of nuclear bombs & worse. During the 2nd presidental debate when I heard the Democrat candidate brag about having the support of Dick Chaney & his spawn I didn’t know if I should laugh or throw up? What the hell is wrong with people?!

Most ?? pls explain the arithmetics.
We ??? who exactly .
I have no sympathies .I am a realist immune to liberal propaganda and brainwashing . And I can count. I have counted US bases , russian bases , chinese bases.
You surely know what bases are for.
I have also read some interesting literature written by US authors and shared it( the titles) on this forum before my Dear
It was all deleted, cancelled , removed , flagged Why you are so afraid ??? This behaviour is identical with the behaviour of communist authorities which i noticed and experienced during 30 years behind the iron wall. Hiding the other , better world .
We always distrusted the official media hence we searched for alternative news .Radio free europe, BBC , VOA who thought me some rudimentary english . This useful habit remains strong in all of us survvivors.
And You are voulnerable as it seems You blindly believe your media as should be in democratic states preaching free speech . Well let me tell You as an outsider . It looks to me a lot has changed in your environment. Be careful . To notice it- the danger , you must have my practical experience which You HAVE NOT . Try questioning and verifying your official media with some other. Your choice , your life .

I was surprised to find out that my washing machine had 3 motherboards after it was repaired under warranty only because they had neglected to state it needed surge protection.
