Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Spokesperson Vadym Skibitskyi stated that the most important elements of the Ukrainian counteroffensive are unexpectedness and accuracy, not speed.

Could not defeat the primitive Taliban. No chance against a modern nation with a lot of friends. Just so much death and destruction.

Russia in its previous incarnation could not defeat the Taliban. That is true. Now they are killing their ability to wage war for a generation or more or even to keep their thuggish federation together. This can happen to any government that lets racism drive its policy to appeal to the lowest shittiest bigots in its population.

Luee wakes up with shit in his pants then he desperately tries to find a reason he shits himself.

He should probably get something better than mayo on wonder bread into his diet even if that means the immigrants will win.

Today, in the woke and cut throat world in which we live...mayo and wonder bread are all some people can afford.

The world you live in is not even slightly woke. The sensation at your throat is a direct result of your head being so far up your ass. That is all.

If you are hungry, come get a taco. That goes for Luee as well.

I didn't mean me, if I get stuck I have Vegemite toast, peanut butter toast and honey toast as saviours.

My world is so woke now that free speech is allegedly being stifled in schools and unis...try having a different opinion from what is being preached and see how you get on...all detailed in my media recently.
See if you graduate.

Wisdom is to go along with it all, graduate, then use the ballot box and anonymous lobbying to change narratives you don't like.
"The violent Left" is a thing.

For example, give an indication you'll be voting "yes" in Albo's "Voice" referendum, then vote "NO" in the ballot box.

You are a roly-poly bug with less personality and a bigger carbon footprint.

I now weigh 187 lbs.
5'7" short.
Hand to hand combat is out of the question...so best I have guns.
Not allowed to have guns, no wonder I "jump at shadows".
Not allowed to carry knives, swords, crossbows, long bows, nail rods, etc, anything that can be used as a weapon.
A sitting duck I surely am.
Most of the bad people seem to sleep all day and come out after dark.
So after dark I run inside and shut all the windows and doors, shut all the blinds and curtains, switch on the outside sensor lights...and hope for the best.
Going to night footy games in Sydney is "traumatic", the roads out after dark are dim, dark and dingey, lonely if you break down, and cold, misty, raining 'often' and eerie in winter.
I have top shelf auto club membership, so they'll come and get me/us...sitting in the car by the side of the road for an hour would be a nightmare..."exit the car and move to a safer place" or "stay in the car and risk being smashed into by crazy truck drivers"...not much of a choice.
If only I could carry guns.
Guns are great...for self defence, in the dark and cold when broken down beside highways and backroads.

You need to have a community of people who work together as a team to make your neighborhood nice and safe for all of you, and you need to have a Neighborhood Watch program, etc.

And like when I lived in beautiful expensive mansions which were used as group homes, we had to all work together as a team to make it safe so that we could enjoy having a beautiful expensive house to live in. It was a beautiful house with a rose garden, etc, and they were feeding everyone great food, we simply had to work together as a team to keep it safe so that we could enjoy living there. And it is the same with this apartment complex, we have over 100 people here in this complex and we work together to keep it safe. And I live right by City Hall and I feel like we have a community here in Anaheim. And we have a great police department, etc.

God wants for us to have a community of Christians and for us to work together as a team. Christians can feed the hungry, and house the homeless, and people can also work together to form Neighborhood Watch programs, etc. There can also be more Wellness Centers, and Mental Health Associations, etc. And Crisis Intervention Specialists can assist the cities, etc.

My community has an old protection gang that used to protect the farm workers, etc, La Fabrica, and they still work together to watch over the neighborhoods. The community also has a good representative at City Hall and we have a good Mayor, and a good police department.

Salute,

Tony V.

I tried the personality thing, talk with strangers/friends of the brides and grooms at weddings and people at parties.
It didn't work out, my conversations were mocked.
Seemingly not high-powered enough, or seemingly boring...maybe not Leftist/PC enough.
I would rather not have been there anyway, so now I don't go to social functions if I can possibly avoid them. If forced to go I just eat the food, compliment the hosts and others, then look at my phone all day/night.
Or I let people come to me, they initiating conversation.
My most successful conversations are with people under 5 and over 80...oh and dogs.

The secret at parties is to simply be a good listener.

I had a teacher in high school who was an actor, and he taught us how to behave at Hollywood parties. He was friends with Ricardo Mantalban, and Michael Landon, and with other stars, and they used to have parties every weekend for charity for and other reasons and just for fun because Hollywood loves to party. My teacher told us that the secret at Hollywood parties is to be a good listener, and if all that you do is listen then at the end of the night everyone will talk about what a great Guy you are. I was lucky to have teachers who taught me how to behave at Hollywood parties.

Salute,
