Rīgas IKEA autostāvlaukums ir tieši tikpat liels kā divi kvartāli Rīgas centrā ar 40 ēkām! Interesanti, ka lielveikalos no stāvlaukuma cilvēki ir gatavi iet vairākus simtus metru pēc nepieciešamās preces, bet pilsētas centrā stāvvietai jābūt noteikti pie katra veikala durvīm.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine. At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

The American president turns up the hard talk on Russia, and suddenly Putin is kind as a sheep. Shocker. Who would have thought after all this talk about nuclear Armageddon?
Putin responded to Trump’s statements with an eight-minute speech lavishing praise on the American president, describing him as intelligent and pragmatic, and stating that he would not impose sanctions on Russia because it would harm the American economy.

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.
And these tankers are now all over the world.
