Russia has repeatedly flown attack drones full of explosives through Romania to attack Ukraine without permission. It's was just a matter of time before a Romanian was killed by one of these drones – a significant percentage fail and they've repeatedly crashed on Romanian soil.

Romania _finally_ changed the law to allow their air force to shoot these dangerous drones down. Which they can easily and safely do out at sea.

Absurdly, 99 Romanian politicians – all from a pro-Russian party - voted against the law. Just treasonous.

We are now at the beginning of Round 3 of this war.

One of Russia's largest oil refineries.

It's not hard to stop Russia. Blow up their economic infrastructure, and (ideally) kill the staff working at these plants, and their economy will collapse and the killing will stop.

War is expensive. Russia can't fight without a profitable economy.

Next steps should be to stop Russia from being able to get access to any raw materials- oil, gold and minerals, from anywhere in the world and be able transfer them back into Russia.

Is too early to say the world is healing itself and we're in the right timeline?

"On this year's Public Domain Day (which falls each January 1st) we welcome, in lots of countries around the world, the works of two titans of 20th-century art, Frida Kahlo and Henri Matisse, and in the US a handful of seminal books including William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One's Own, and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms."

Further proof that men are always children at heart, if they can take their toys and make the size of a spaceship.

"While the Small Business Administration was disbursing money to [Chris] Brown's touring company, federal and state tax authorities were becoming very interested in his finances.

In early 2021, the IRS notified Brown that he owed $3.2 million in unpaid taxes. In 2022, the IRS determined that Brown owed an additional $2.2 million, while California's Franchise Tax Board found that Brown hadn't paid $1.3 million in state taxes.

He settled these debts in April last year — but not before American taxpayers had unwittingly paid $80,000 for his birthday party."
