100% citizenship needs to be irrevocable. Establish *any* precedent for governments having the discretion to remove it and you're on the rocket train to Abuse.
And wow - that's big news about Dnepropetrovsk Oblast if true - I'll have to check with friends there. That would mean that our flat might be in Russia now - assuming it's still standing.
Also note that those cities are on both sides of the Dnepr, right and left banks, just to make things confusing. Left banks are on the east side of the river.
Yah, I can't say for sure, but that's what I've been seeing while YouTube surfing, even from pro-Ukrainian podcasters.
All I know is most Ukrainians are sick of the war by now. It's really only fanatics, fools, and MIC capitalists who aren't.
Putin can't back down now because too much blood has been shed and because Russia is outright winning the war militarily.
It took me decades to figure out left and right banks. Finally, it dawned on me that it is from the perspective of the river facing the sea or lake or bigger river or wherever it empties into.
My first instinct is to see it from a sailor's point of view when coming in from the ocean. Probably because of all of those raiding and pillaging ancestors of mine, lol.
Yes, it's really confusing. I see Telegram / X posts about Kamianske / Kamenskoye being captured - but it's the same city, just in Ukrainian / Russian transliterations. To make it even more confusing, there are two cities close together, one in Zaporizhizhe oblast and one in Denepropetrovsk oblast just to the north.
I also see maps showing a big reservoir to the west - that's the one in Dnepropetrovsk, but I think it's really the one in Zaporizhzhia. It still 100 km to the one in Dnepropetrovsk.
And for me, I think of left and right banks named for when you're looking south from Kyiv / Kiev - worked for me in !!towns of Dnipro / Dnepropetrovsk and Kamianske / Kamenskoye!!
Happy Birthday....Your 'reflections' reads like something out of the Twilight Zone....Where are you Rod Serling? The only thing that needs commentary are the crazy journalists (corporate and alternative) that keep repeating Trump's 'pronouncements' as if they're supposed to mean something.....Let's face it dear readers, Trump epitomizes the good ole US of A.
I see that mid-July (this week in particular) takes ridiculousness to a new bizarre level, which is best to just experience without getting yourself killed or maimed. Folks in nearby Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University (friend of military contract partnerships) tried to peacefully protest yesterday's energy "summit". Freshman Dave McCormick and fellow ass-kissers filled an almost all-white male missle-fellating room. I can't stand the turncoat Gov. Josh Shapiro (zionist liar who was our AG and carried on with a fake appeal to curb the oil & gas industry). Not supposed to hate.... hate that liar to a pulp.
Trump is still listening to bad advisors and we are on the precipice of I don't know what. But, we are living through it, aren't we?
Happy Birthday, sweetie!
🎂🎉♥️🍻
🎈🎊 Happy B-day!
Happy Birthday, OB!
Congratulations on another trip around the Sun! :*)

Agreed. Carlson should know better than to play that game.
Happy Birthday!

Your opening point was excellent. Linking your weekly recap as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Oh, Happy Birthday by the way Barbarian. Have a Dos Equis if you would like or a Busch if you would prefer! 🍻 Cheers, Mate!
Thanks, mate! And it will be a Dos Equis at Don Tequila's a couple of miles away.
👍 👍 👍 !!!!!

I have felt that I have been living in the Twilight Zone since November 1980.
Israel delenda est
And Happy Birthday.
