“Canada closes ports, territorial waters to Russian ships.
The new ban will become part of the sanctions introduced by Canada over Russia’s all-out attack on Ukraine.”

“Apple halts product sales in Russia”

Now if Apple could “power down” every existing iphone in Russia, that would be great.

Do you think this POW is telling the truth or forced?

I can’t tell what he is saying.

Can’t open the link. Most of the “POWs” you see online are Ukrainian nationals based on a combination of facial recognition and social networks.

Probably because Russia is restricting Facebook and Twitter.

Too bad, twitter has all the good videos.

Canned food stays good forever and the C rations were regularly tested and certified. As you know, nobody got sick from C rations though they may have been sick OF C rations. On the other hand, about those Russian certifications...I’m guessing the crackers and chocolate will be ok...borscht not so much.

When I was a Mech Infantry Platoon Leader in 1975, the 90 mm recoiled rifle in my platoon had the serial number of 00007. That’d right, four zeros before the 7.

No it isn’t.

What’s happening is Putler is trying to expand his wanna-be empire and is about to Stalingrad the Ukranians to do so.

Ukranians are all over the internet confirming what they are going through and it is worse than even reported.

Or do you consider thema all Fox News and CNN paid actors in a “phony” war? blublublublub

Holy Smokes. So if I’m reading that correctly that recoiless rifle you used was the seventh rifle produced in that production run.
