Nice!
Thanks for taking time for that thought,I do work at a peaceful golf course,I've done martial arts,I exercise regularly,give myself a solid B in nutrition and consider myself pretty well adjusted to deal w/BS. I also have bird feeders right outside the kitchen window and after a consistent 30 yrs. of providing have a established relationship w/the local songbird community. I understand Zen but I have too much responsibility and chores now to pursue it to the degree that you mentioned(24 hrs.?serious discipline,told you woman are tougher than men). I rely on pretty rigid exercise to keep my mind right,working out is like a toilet flush for the mind,although currently I wish that flush would be w/a old school toilet that used 3 1/2 gal. instead of 1.7 lol.
As you can see Russians are not to be trusted. Ever; they're not stopping at Ukraine.
Russia targets Netherlands' North Sea infrastructure, says Dutch intelligence agency
Russia has in recent months tried to gain intelligence to sabotage critical infrastructure in the Dutch part of the North Sea, Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD said on Monday. A Russian ship has been detected at an offshore wind farm in the North Sea as it tried to map out energy...news.yahoo.com
Too late..the move was codified before new Congress. All the House can do now is be noisy until 2024.
I really feel bad for all these under 30 people who know nothing of pre-social life, depressed teenage girls,suicides,and constant pursuit of likes and incessant quest for the unattainable.I agree that Social Media is not real and it has increased exponentially depression,haters,and posers,pretty much a digital septic system.I think the best balance occurred when every home had a computer and mobile phones only made call and texted,the internet for communicating,research, and purchases existed but wasn't at ones fingertips constantly and Twiiter,Facebook, etc. weren't on the scene.
I had a 72 Pinto
They were getting into angertainment. I have enough on my plate. I don't need my morning political with a side order of^^^^Who is he and how does he know?
72 Pinto's made the Ralph Nader list w/the gas tanks that could possibly explode when hit,don't like character less new cars $$$$$ but they are way safer,since Joe Scar. is a former Rep. he tends to try to keep things fair but their is no denying that all our news slants to their perceived audience although nothing like the blatant Fox,who should drop the word "News" from their title or at least label it FOX "NEWS". I guess I keep hoping Mika will exhibit more of her father's rationality as he was a brilliant man on political/foreign policy matters,I'm mostly into hearing their "guests" opinions on matters such as ADM. Stravitas,Leon Panetta,and others.I had a 72 Pinto
I know you like Morning Joe, I do too..it needs to calm before I'll come back, if ever. I was very insulted with Joe and Mika psychotrumpobulleybabblo
I don't like Mika calling out each guests name and/or Joe or Willy..what grade is this?
Attention seeking behavior just like NK. They have to over compensate.
Because he knows swinging it would be suicide for him and Russia, he knows what the allies have to throw against Russia, and it won't just be America. That is why it has been all talk, so far. If Joe thought he was gonna nuke America, he would first strike him, no problem and he apparently has a few inside tracks in Russia, so they would likely see it coming. They rattle the nukes when they are desperate and I think they are, if this is the best, they can do for an offensive then they are in serious trouble come spring. What will Vlad do when they are really taking a shit kicking with a Ukrainian blitzkrieg surrounding thousands of their troops and cutting off Crimea?
Oh, I figure the Ukrainians will have enough, but holding a vote on more artillery would put Kevin in a box, even a resolution of continued support for Ukraine would do it, and let the monkeys and clowns perform for the public. Ukraine is an issue that divides the republicans and isolates the magats from the hawks among them. White Christians fighting for freedom with guns and guts from Vlad's big government is deeply appealing to their mythos. Foxnews, Trump and magats trying to make them pro Russian will only divide them from the base of the party to the top. It is an issue that can isolate the magats and since many of them are con artists, they'll go with whatever way the wind is blowing and believe in or stand for nothing.
They want that coastal island so bad they can taste it.
It was already an established fact Russia/Putin can’t be trusted, there was no trust left to be broken. If it weren’t for the war this unsuccessful attempt to map wouldn’t even be major news. It’s two day old news about something that happened months ago, that’s almost ancient history for people more worried about their first-world problems. Instead of chinese balloons, we get Russian jets, bombers and spy planes and ships on a somewhat regular basis. Like recently the news two dutch F-35 scrambled Russian planes is nothing new. Belgium and NL each got 2 of them ready 24/7 to take off in just minutes specifically to escort Russian troll planes away from our own airspace. Same with Norway, UK, Germany etc. Happens 300+ times a year in europe. It’s like whack-a-mole. The cold war never really ended so this isn’t as big news or rattling as it may seem.
Thank you, I had no idea. I often wonder how it is with you being so close by which is why I asked.

Although needed to meet emission goals, it’s not a critical infrastructure yet. Might be in 7-10 years though. Right now it would amount to vandalism more than sabotage unless the goal is to disrupt efforts to curb climate change. The Russians know they’ll be escorted away immediately, whether it’s ships or planes, not like they can easily go in unnoticed in our small but busy area. Neighboring countries already track or escort them and inform us of their arrival. So these half-assed attempts doomed to fail are a nuisance, trolling, weak and futile attempts at intimidation.
Amsterdam has the largest internet exchange in the world, it’s for digital packets what Rotterdam is for physical goods, and Russia mapped the data cables in the sea with submarines a few years ago. Sabotaging those would have a more direct noticeable effect.
Speaking of energy… Dutch state-owned company Tennet owns most of the high voltage grid lines in NL and a good chunk of Germany’s grid. Germany wants to buy the part in Germany so their own goverment has full control.
