Russia hasn't gained any ground in over a year. They have lost their airpower. The Black Sea Fleet is heavily damaged and a good chunk has been sunk. On top of that, they have lost 5,618 tanks, 10,482 Amored vehicles, 8,045 artillery systems, 919 MLRS, 605 Anti-air systems, 324 airplanes, and another 324 Helicopters, 6,116 UAVs, 1,571 cruse missiles destroyed, 22 ships, 1 submarine, 10,561 vehicles, 1156 special equipment systems, and 336,230 personnel.

Ukraine isn't losing right now, not by a long shot.

Former Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang died of torture or committed suicide in Beijing military hospital.

The former minister had stopped appearing in public since June 25: His disappearance has sparked a lot of rumors both in and abroad.

Politico's sources told the publication that the last foreign official Qin Gang hosted was Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko. According to the publication, Rudenko may have informed the Chinese leadership that Qin Gang and several other officials were cooperating with Western intelligence services.

There has been no official comment from the Chinese authorities on the fate of the former minister.

The former Chinese foreign minister was at the center of a scandal because of an affair with a Chinese journalist who worked in the United States. The official's son, who was granted American citizenship, was born there.

After Qin Gang disappeared, the chief commander of the missile forces Li Yuchao, his deputy Liu Guangbing and ex-deputy Zhang Zhenzhong disappeared around the same time. In October 2023, Defense Minister Li Shanfu was sent into retirement. All of them were suspected of collaborating with Western intelligence agencies.

He did exactly what they threw McCarthy out for and Democrats got everything they wanted, Republicans got nothing of what they wanted.

Pete would probably be a top ten President of all time. Extremely smart, likeable, and handles himself well. He already is the best Transportation secretary in my lifetime, though the competition wasn't very strong.

Trump won't even be on the ballot in most states.

Colorado has already blocked him from the ballot under the 14th Amendment Section three. Only a 2/3 vote in Congress will change that.

Jeffries needs 5 more votes to win.

A Republican nomination needs 217.

Stronger to who exactly? Registered Republicans are at their lowest numbers since the early 20th century. He is the least popular person in the United States. Literally, you would have to be the dumbest moron on the planet to support him.

How do you deal with being broke?

I'm in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there's ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I'm legitimately fucked. I'm one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as...

Back in my twenties we never went out, no cellphones, set goals, and did things cheaply.

Because you don't need a cellphone, you want one; it's convenient, but you don't need one.

It depends on your line of work, but a cellphone is not mandatory for employment. A cellphone will set you back on average $1,700 a year. If you have to have a phone number get a $ 20-a-month landline basic plan. We are talking about saving money but most people on here don't want to save money, they just want to have more money.

Eventually logic and educated thought will drive them to somewhere else. Their ideas look great on paper but never live up to the hype. Human society doesn't cooperate well in groups larger than one hundred. You need strict rules and major punishments for large groups and that leads to an imbalance of power and authoritarian rule.
