As a Houstonian newcomer to Minneapolis, loved the winter but I was looking forward to the summer coming so that I could do the long list of repairs and yard changes I was going to do, unfortunately, I slept in that weekend and missed the summer.

What took you from Houston/TX to Minneapolis? Work?

Hope you are settling in, well.

For much of my life I was a drifter, I just moved around to see things, experience things, and then move on, at least when I went to Minneapolis I had a vehicle.

During that period in that region, I lived for long or short periods in Minneapolis, Wisconsin, Green Bay, Indiana, Chicago and then on to another region.

Minneapolis is where I learned to keep my beer in an ice chest and put a hot water bottle inside with it to keep it from freezing, I loved the harsh weather.

The U.S. government has absolutely no room to talk down to Putin about corruption.

It will not be long now until the harsh reality of the destruction and total defeat of Ukraine is known everywhere.

While the average Ukrainian is a victim of this slaughter, the destruction of Ukraine’s totally corrupt government is something to be cheered and the take-down of many of the criminals in charge in Ukraine will certainly take place.

Let the Putin haters rant but he will rid the world of some poisonous rats in charge in Ukraine. Ukraine will then have no further ability to kickback billions to the criminals in Washington DC nor continue operating dozens of U.S./DOD bioweapons labs when Putin has finished.

Who can seriously believe Russia could lose a land war in their neighborhood?

Putin will shortly be in a position to simply order nato and the EU to disband.

When it looks like Ukraine isn’t going to be able to handle it with western weapons, then it’s time for NATO to directly enter this conflict.

So, you want Americans dying in Ukraine? Are freeping kidding? There is absolutely NO public will for that. Do you want any of your male relatives dying in Ukraine?

And, NATO without the US is nothing. Ukraine has a larger army than any NATO country other than US and Turkey. And, Turkey sure as hell isn't going to war with Russia.

People like you with Russian Derangement Syndrome are danger to all of us. You're insane enough to start WWIII or nuclear war. Screw that. Get that through your skull.

You are so brainwashed. Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine in every way. Have you forgotten Hillary’s uranium deal? Have you forgotten Obama’s promise to the Russians of greater “flexibility”? Have you forgotten the net worth of Putin and the oligarchs? Zelensky was rich as an entertainer but Putin’s net worth is over 1000 times that of Zelensky. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine simply continues Stalin’s genocide against Ukrainians. The invasion is completely evil. Yet the one-time-zone country has humiliated the eleven-time-zone country just as Finland did in the Winter War. Finland lost territory but gained the admiration of the world. Russia gained the reputation of a criminal bully. Death to the invaders! Glory to Ukraine!

Russia has 13% flat tax rate. There are two genders in Russia. The LBGT agenda is banned. Marriage is between a man and women there. Only someone completely ignorant believes Russia is still communist.

What is helluva a lot like communism, though, is "the liberal world order" and the globalist running it. And, that is what you're supporting in all this along with outrageous decisions made by the Biden regime and caused this war.

"So, you want Americans dying in Ukraine?

No I want Russians dying in Ukraine. Or better yet just fleeing.

Turkey has provided Bayraker drones to Ukraine free of charge, has refused to sell any drone technology to Russia and is blocking Russian ships from entering the black sea.

I'm sure Turkey would prefer not to anger either NATO or Russia, but when it comes down to actions, so far Turkey has been clearly on the side of Ukraine. I think Turkey will keep their NATO obligations.

There was the one night when the beer was freezing in the corner of the cabin, inside.

We had to move it closer to the woodstove.

Just because you don’t like news doesn’t make it false.

Maybe for children, but not adults.

Bro you’ve gotten VERY ODD in the 20 or so months I’ve not been around :)

Your use of the English language is getting odd :)

Or maybe it’s me :)

Hope you and the family are well.

I don't think Ukraine gets as cold as Russia, especially St. Petersburg or Moscow. Average winter temperatures in Kiev are between those of Chicago and New York, cold but not Arctic. This is especially true in the southern areas Russia has captured.

They have at least 3 or 4 months more of excellent fighting weather.
