In Syria Assad has been dropping barrel bombs on women and children for years.
Bambu:  Assad's a good man.  He's saving Christianity.  What's a few dead Muslims?

I'm glad you figured out that children matter.  Welcome to the word of decent people.

Time to drop bombs on Russia, no matter who gets killed.
Russia/ns have left the west no choice.
Same as with Germany...Britain bombed Dresden
Allies bombed Germany.
US-Allies fire-bombed Tokyo.
US nuked Japan.
Kill or be killed.
Assad?
Muslims are burning Christians alive in bread ovens, among other horrors.

"live fully" is subjective.

Some people think "living fully" is climbing Everest, hiking in wilderness/anywhere, bungee jumping, skiing, racing cars, diving, holidaying in Bali, and surfing in Indonesia.
Best of luck to them.

Other people think "living fully" is living in a coastal paradise with a good spouse, good dog, good neighbours, watching sport live and on tv.

You go hiking in Yellowstone with the bison, venomous and constrictor snakes, grizzly bears and mountain lions...and I'll go hiking along my local beach and watch Yellowstone on YouTube.
A better life for me. :)

The idea of you having the testicular fortitude to walk on a beach is laughable.

Go on, pull the other one.

I walk on a beach, sometimes.
I don't do it often, don't like the sand in my car.
I prefer to sit in my car and enjoy the view in comfort.

The only venomous snake species in Yellowstone (where I've hiked) is the prairie rattler, and it's fairly rare at elevation, and tends to be reclusive and avoid trafficked paths.

I once took a whiz in Yellowstone and I saw a rattler flee in terror - it saw my junk and knew it was outmatched.

Being strangled to death by a 6ft long Bull Boa is what I'd be fearing.
Bloody snakes, someone should blow snakes up.

F-16s sent to Ukraine amid key battlefield gain

The United States has approved a major escalation with the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine as Russia loses ground near a pivotal frontline city.

#####

Great news.
Now for the bombers and big missiles.
Time to get after Russia, and get it out of Ukraine.

British warplanes were scrambled the other day as Russian bombers flew near Scotland's air space.

Erm... doesn't Oz have a mouse problem?  Snakes are definitely your nation's allies in controlling rodents running rampant.
