Got to admit I was known to use these words in my chemistry classes. ;)

Simple enough.

If you lack the basic intelligence and/ or wisdom to triage problems, you can do what you like...

Forgiveness is a valid thing to seek if someone is genuinely trying to make amends for past wrongs.

If they're not apologising (and still doing wrong!) forgiveness is premature.

Better than nothing, but not much.

Or an act of typically Russian utter incompetence? Never discount that possibility...

Help them, for pity's sake. Take the ship over and take it to a NATO port!

This is really important. Spreading doomerism is a key win for the oil companies and such, who would love people to be paralysed with discouragement.

Closer to 144 million. ;)

If you'd have told me back in the 90s that the good guys would be flying Flankers, if have been surprised!

Ah, but the Kremlin tells us that the spill is smaller than they thought. It's all okay....

To which I say that is only one of many things you could hate so much in that movie. You're spoiled for choice!

Traitors.

Certainly not if you keep playing on Russia's side.

*twit*

So many losses like this, and none of them necessary.

Russia never had any reason to invade.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

We really put on a good show. Happy New Year from Australia to our mates doing it tough in Ukraine!

I read books about the Bible and write long explanations of how wrong the books are.

Before that I used to tell teenagers about how amazing the world is, whilst they didn't listen.

The infuriating thing here is that if Trump had simply tried to learn the situation before talking, he'd have known this.

I'm a total layman, and I know that Putin cannot surrender without victory. How can you be elected president and not know this?

It's an apology for an apology.

"We're sorry something awful happened to you" doesn't have a lot of point when you're the reason something awful happened to them....

Call it like it is. They don't execute them, they murder them.

If you're the good guys, truth is important. It's there verifiable information to back this claim?

If there is, have at it.

1 and 2.

I don't know what counts as "normal" in the totally abnormal situation you're in, but we grieve in different ways, and there's nothing strange about what you describe. All the best from the other side of the world.
