US Congress looks to approve $50 billion in Ukraine aid, NBC reports

This would be the largest single tranche of U.S. aid to Ukraine to date, and is being considered amid concerns that the Republican party could curtail the scope of U.S. assistance to Kyiv, should it take control of either chamber of U.S. Congress in the upcoming midterm elections

I’ve joked that Asians make a slight “ooooohh” sound when they’re confused.  It’s called “CAN” (Confused Asian Noise).  When arriving at LAX in customs and immigration you can hear the noise if you close your eyes.  Anyways, if you listen carefully you can hear CAN in response to your post.

Add grave robber to the list of Putin war crimes.

In Russia, Potemkin’s name is most commonly associated with “Potemkin villages,” a term used to define cover-up facades designed specifically to hide an unsightly truth and create a false appearance of well-being. 

 

How ironic that Putin reveres Potemkin.

Well the republicans are the ones trying to kill off education because they know if everyone was  educated in this country no one would vote for them.

Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack (airforcetimes.com)

Hopefully they aren't covering for them to prevent a NATO involvement in this war.
