The War in Ukraine

[Kilted]

According to my quick Google-fu, Canada has pumped ~$10.6B into UKR (mil & civvy), so if you divide that by ~42 million population, that's about $254 per Canadian between January '22 and June '24, or about $9/month/person. That's an average price of about $3.60/coffee.

Wonder how much coffee costs in these other countries and what that does to the calculus?

Sorry, I use the metric system. How many cups of tea would that be?

I don’t get what having Melania’s pictures from 2000, which she’s not exactly trying to hide, is trying to do.

“Oooh we have stuff from FHM - huge power move!”

Also the fact that the Trumpster might decide that is a personal affront.

Just a swipe at Trumps ego to remind him the other kompromat can just as easily be released if he gets any independent ideas that are bad for Russia.

Again, I’m not sure publicly trying to humiliate or otherwise annoy President Elect Trump is a wise move, because he’s the sort of guy that may just decide to put V Corps into western Ukraine due to something like that and provide all sorts of stuff to Ukraine to teach Putin how he can be strong in the face of threats.

There's news stations where the reporters are naked ladies.

Having spent the batter part of my working life in Manitoba, I've had more than my fair share of cabbage rolls and borscht than the average Canadian.

And Samohon (Ukrainian home brew).

Perogy.

Perogy.

I never realized that there's a singular form of that noun.

To be clear- I have always eaten multiples…

Bacon - no; Fried onions - yes.

Bacon, caramelized onion and cheese instead of sour cream in multiples of 6

What? No perogies or kolbosssa?

You'd like it here in SW Ont. Except for Sobey's which has potato and onion perogies, all the stores have variations on bacon and cheese. Needless to say I go to Sobey's or a local producer when they have them.

Sour cream is always understood. I like your multiples.

Incidentally, while I get M&M's cabbage rolls from time to time, I now do my own "deconstructed cabbage rolls" in my Instant Pot. Basically just sauté the ground beef and onions and then throw in roughly chopped up cabbage and the rest of the ingredients and pressure cook for five minutes. Add more broth and voila, cabbage soup.

Perogy.

Varenyky is the more common name once you are east of the Polish border. It also comes in much wider variety of fillings.
