>> Looking at your headline [UMCRevMom’s, taken from YouTube], I’m guessing English is a second language for you. In any event, here is an American term to remember: Read the room. <<

Why don’t you explain the losing-loosing distinction in Ukrainian (or in English because a surprisingly large number of English speakers make that mistake too)? Apparently the word should be “losing”.

Russia’s losing should be good news both to Ukrainians and to Americans who don’t want that regime to increase its power (though Russians or anybody else being killed in war is at best a necessary evil). I doubt that this is near the end, but then I didn’t expect the Ukrainians to fight as well as they have.

As for reading the room, I’m in this room too, and I can spare a few minutes out of 24 hours to this topic. I’m tired of waiting for results from our third-world voting system.

“Why don’t you explain the losing-loosing distinction in Ukrainian”

Thank you. I do appreciate your comment. I appreciate your kind words.

I am an American citizen [that has the flu!] I went to bed after posting. I just woke & am going back to bed!

True, I copied the headline without editing. The author is Ukrainian pilot. Most would realize context if they had viewed video posted. There are some Freepers that criticize in order to deflect from discussion of posted topic: article or video.
