It's a "Future War Plan" not a peace plan because it gives Russia every incentive to trump up reasons to reattack Ukraine and start fresh attacks against Baltic states. There can be no peace if the aggression is rewarded.

The primary difference is that in return for the US forcing Ukraine's surrender they get a bunch of business deals with Russia.
It's the work of scumbags whose innate evil knows no bounds.

The Traitor in Chief wants some sweet deals with Russia, so he sells out his allies. Laughably he includes letting Russia back into the G8. The remaining 6 free states should just say that forum "is no longer necessary in the new global context" and let it be the G2.

Trump thinks total surrender by Ukraine will get him a Nobel. He's literally selling out his ally, with the "peace" deal being about how big business deals he can score.
The USA has been fully transformed into a force of evil in our world. No better than China, in some ways worse.
Very, very sad.

It is a reprehensible plan intended only for Trump to claim he achieved peace while cooking business deals with Russia. All it achieves is total surrender. The most repulsive government since Neville Chamberlain. Worse than Chamberlain since his surrender was at least partly his own country.

Doh. I focus so much on the images that I completely missed the leading link. Thank you!

I'm enjoying your posts. There such great variety. Are the images ones you have taken yourself or shared from others that we might follow?

You seriously want to gate keep how entire nations refer to their royalty? I guess Kate's not the only wannabe queen in this thread.

Kate is by far the most loved Royal in Canada, William a close second. Their visit here displayed grace, human connection and a real willingness to get onto the street and into the shops. Their active sport play was great fun to watch too. I mean long live the King, but can't wait for Will & Kate!

Lol. I've been telling people for 20 years that the worst malware on their systems goes by the name 'Microsoft Windows'.
There is a known solution called Linux.
If you want to live follow me -- to Kubuntu.

Apparently they can also see their colleagues called "piggie" without any reporter on that plane standing up, not even the modest awareness to shout "shame."
There may have one huge pig on that flight, but he was leading a full load of sheep.

Walmart continues to pump prices in Canada. For example last month they raised canned tomatoes from $1.77 to $1.97, a >10% jump. 4 years ago the same can: 97 cents. Er, actually not the same can. They reduced the can size for a shrinkflation hit. Apples went from 94 cents/lb to $2.97/lb. No hero.

It's a shocking confession of a lack of resilience to say that a single file can bring down a major chunk of the internet.
No excuse for this. There are simply too many available tools to track failures and kick in remedies for this to be acceptable.
A class action would deter future negligence.

Great article and great science. "extreme waves may change from unpredictable terrors into forecastable hazards" shows the value of the steady unexciting work of collecting observations over many years. We can't shrink science funding without real losses.

The economics are also just bad. Not enough chars allowed to explain but it will inevitably lead to housing price inflation, causing a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the investor class. Prices are driven to the max people can pay, period.

And with the U.S. scheme of mortgage tax deductions, doesn't this just rapidly expand the role of the federal government in the U.S. economy? Without a doubt the most interventionist govt of our lifetimes.

People, including policy makers, need to grasp the fact that we are not helpless in this shift. Canada is the 5th largest auto market in the world. We buy a *lot* of cars. We are an extremely valuable market. If the Americans don't want us, we ultimately do not need them.

A juvenile tautology masquerading as deep thinking. Certainly not "science."
For the interested, science has experimentally demonstrated in *reality* that effect can happen 'before' cause, thus disproving a universal arrow of time.
This article is basically babble.
