One of nicest places on earth. Beautiful scenery and the most wonderful people.

Arrrr ye mateys.

So how will NATO respond to Putin? Bad boy, don’t do it again!

Have had an Ev for a year. Would not switch back. I’m saving too much money.

Same for peeling apples. One long continuous peel is so satisfying.

Difficult to feel sympathetic towards someone who suggests annexed land land can be taken at will. But also hard to deny the punishments he faces from Putin are extremely heavy handed. Russia really needs a revolution that puts in place people who actually want to serve the people and become a productive democracy.

I think him being concerned with the economics of a war rather than the ethics of it are telling. However here is a quote from Navalny in March. Seems like he is somewhat on a middle ground. Not sure what to think of him.

Navalny wrote that Ukraine’s borders are “similar to Russia’s—[they were] internationally recognized and defined in 1991.” All of the areas of Ukraine that the Kremlin has supposedly “annexed” are, by right and by law, still Ukrainian, including Crimea.Mar 2, 2023

I wish you all the best. Recovery made just a little easier with a beautiful view.
