I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Eyewitness reports are suggesting the jet was attacked with SAMs.  The woman in this video says as much.

I guess this has deniability for Putin, but plausible deniability?  Nyet.

Initially you could believe some of his complaints about Nato. But he has gone completely insane with an invasion and indiscriminate bombings. Does not take a genius to figure out. Putin dies and thousands of lives are saved.

You are right. Go get him, Luee. You are not doing anyone one iota of good by staying here.

The United Nations is being tested, removing Putin can be as easy as removing Noriega and sending him to Prison, we can put Putin in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We can send in United Nations Forces to remove Putin and put him in Guantanamo Bay. It can be as easy as that.

He wanted Russia to join NATO when he first became President, but that was rejected.
Now he basically runs the UN, along with China.
NK guy is now their best buddy, as they run the world...the world now paying the price for putting all its eggs in the China basket.

If a little Girl can move the whole world to action on Climate Change, think about what a Shakespearean Actor can do! Let me go speak at the United Nations. We can tell Putin to pack his bags and get ready to move to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

I am not afraid to speak at the United Nations.

Salute,

Here is some Shakespeare, I made the video to show a friend a new hat that I got from the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet...

https://youtu.be/x3ZMT-G_WHE

When I was in Rome, Italy, there was a community theatre in our neighborhood and they were doing Moliere, and I am sure I could get them to do Shakespeare if I was there and if they were still up and running, I could direct "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare, and if it is successful then maybe they would let me film "King Lear" at Cinecitta as a movie. There were actresses from the community theatre who lived in my building, they were cool. Plus there is the Saint Louis College of Music across the street, and also a subway to go to the Cinecitta movie studio.

And I am not afraid to speak at the United Nations. I will do it without a teleprompter.

We can tell Putin to pack his bags and to get ready to move to Cuba.

Salute,

Tony V.

There is earth one and earth two. There is also earth zero, where Bambi lives, where nothing is true but it all still scares the bejesus out of the lone inhabitant, a silly old white man in diapers.

If we do that, we need to try it out with all the republican governors first to make sure the process and facilities are truly secure.

We would not want to cause any new mishaps on an international scale.

LOL

Silly maybe, but not in diapers yet.  :)

There was a campaign here recently "Bins for Blokes", to get special bins for men in public/stadium etc bathrooms, same as there are for women, for disposal of sanitary products, namely diapers.
To enable men [and boys] to be able to attend footy games and move around society in comfort.
The campaign seems to have failed.
Oh well, such is life.
If my 'diaper time' ever comes, no way I'll be staying away from the footy...so I'll just have to get creative.
My great nephew is a genius, maybe he can invent something.

We can send Kenneth Branagh to speak at the United Nations...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Branagh

We can tell Kenneth to say that Putin is testing the United Nations, and the United Nations must rise to the call and send Putin to prison in Cuba. We must stop the senseless murder of innocents and the destruction of property by the criminal Putin, Putin is a criminal like Noriega, we can arrest Putin just like we did Noriega. We can send Putin to Prison in Cuba. And Kenneth Branagh can tell the United Nations with PASSION that Putin must go to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for his crimes against humanity.

Salute,

Tony V.
