That addresses civilization but not prehistory as there is no known record of written language north of the desert barrier.

Under these terms, all 400+ tribes north of the deserts of North America were prehistoric until the arrival of the European and some paper.

Can confirm. Also, paying for a new vehicle in $9500 installments over several days does NOT fool anyone.

Right. The plaintiff should not have been riding a motorized vehicle on a sideWALK, thereby increasing potential risk to himself and others for grievous bodily harm. He failed his duty of care to using the vehicle and infrastructure as it

1. Hundreds. Twitter and Telegram are your best bet for field kills. 2. Does it? I've never seen a lawn planted in 7-8" rows. Regardless of the species of plant in the photo, does that look like a tilled field to you?

> Ukraine plants their wheat in the spring This aligns with every single combat photo I've seen thus far. I don't think I've seen one field of winter wheat. So the shortfall is not in winter wheat, but in the types plant

To add to this: Buy in bulk when it goes on sale and replace individual units as consumed. No need to buy it all right away when you can slowly acquire bulk bargains whenever the opportunity arises.

That is precisely why Putin keeps saber rattling about Russia's nukes. NATO (but mostly the US) would wipe out the Russian forces in Ukraine in a matter of days. Since he's committed so much of Russia's military to the inva

By telling the Kazakh battalions to go in first and use up all the Ukrainian bullets, of course.

Putin just wanted to throw some Kazakh bodies in front of his Russian troops. They are much more expendable to him.

From what I've seen so far in this invasion, it appears the Russian military is as rotten as its leadership. Where are the fearsome Russian assets, the stealth bombers, the laser guided missiles, etc? They can't even control Ukra

Change the world, yes. End it, no. If the Ukraine invasion is any indication of the might of Russia's military, it has demonstrated that Russia's might is largely tanks and mobile missile launchers. The US has assets in the air,

> Oh no, not the global finance! How sad. You jest, but much like a man who has just lost his job and has no foreseeable income, Russia is now entirely dependent upon what savings it has to pay for everything... from China. Surely, Chin

I don't think a cease fire will return things to they way they were. Lots of countries have had it with Komrade Putin and will work to see him deposed. Maybe an oligarch or general will help speed up the process?

Well, more than a few of those conquests were prevented by Russia. Assad wasn't spared because of his tactical genius. The calculus might change for a few regime changes this year...

What economy? An unprecedented experiment has begun and should Putin persist many Russians will likely be paying for things with either gas, grass or ass in the coming weeks.

If it's any consolation, there's a noticeable difference in the framing of this war from the US side. The West is slowly waking up to the fact that Putin has been waging a war for years without declaring it. It is being framed in
