The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Sanctions need to stay in place permanently. Need to destroy that garbage country so they can never threaten a neighbor again.

Maybe if/when (hint: never) they have 40 years under their belt as a stable democracy, then.

⚡️ Russia’s aviation industry is spiraling toward collapse.

By 2030, it could lose 40% of its civil aircraft fleet as sanctions block spare parts and force airlines to cannibalize jets for survival.

Russia Faces 40% Aviation Meltdown by 2030 as Sanctions Bite Deep

Russia's civil aviation could see a significant reduction in its fleet, losing a third of aircraft and 200 helicopters by 2030 due to challenges in the industry.

Apologies for posting the most boring genre of post ("my workout"), but, a 2 victories yesterday in my battle to get to a healthy weight:
1) Got on scale and was the lightest I've been in about 10 years (still 20 pounds to go though)
2) Ran my fastest 4 miles since April 2016 (43:45)

From the first days of the full-scale invasion, Ivanchenko worked on the front lines — documenting Russian crimes, helping to evacuate people, bringing humanitarian aid.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.
