You wish. Young people are far less likely to vote than older people. Sadly NBC is likely right.

For cargo capacity nothing beats a simple small business van.

Pickups are nothing more than a dick measuring contest that guys are desperate to justify to themselves.

Oof sounds like one employee there had a good idea (birds), but others were jealous and pushed to have multiple ideas and let citizens vote.

It's going to be birds, Karen. Stop talking about your beach and grains of sand.

Yeahhh that's not how diplomacy works. That's how edgy high school kids would imagine running NATO.

I can't imagine he's someone to strongarm. Nor would it be good for the alliance if members are forced into accepting things they don't want.

I'd imagine he got his desired concessions, or it was mostly just bluster for internal politics.

Don't threaten the US with a good time.

Heerlijk. Kunnen we eindelijk weer dromen van een minister president die daadwerkelijk het landsbelang dient en inhoudelijke ambities/idealen heeft, ipv enkel nadenkt over zijn eigen politieke positie.

Those are unusually low numbers. Did the Ukrainians take a day off? Were the artillery crew preoccupied watching Wimbledon? Or is the Russian army literally out of material?

Loeb is a nutjob. He'll claim anything is proof of alien life as long as it gives him media attention.

Tldr; The last few yards of pipes are owned by the property owners. Cities are replacing their lead pipes just fine, but property owners aren't. These people want the government to pay for replacing pipes on private properties.

These people are likely the same people who vote for tax reductions and plead for a 'small government'.

It makes no sense for government to pay for new pipes for private properties. Let the property owners pay for it.

For the past decades, farmers have been pushed by the agrarian industry to keep more and more cows for beef and dairy. This has caused huge nitrogen emissions that now are wreaking havoc on our nature. Politicians have been too gummy with the industry, and too scared of their electorate, to do anything about it.

So now they have been forced by the supreme court to drastically cut emissions before 2035. This has caused massive protests from the farmers, who have resorted to violent attacks on the government, and physically threatening politicians and their families.

Tldr; it's a shitshow caused by political nearsightedness and lack of leadership.

Likely around 8k-10k in total. So they're likely over 50% attrition on their primary means of warfare.

And keep in mind this is artillery destroyed; they will also have lost a lot of artillery through wear&tear, and have used up artillery pieces as spares for other artillery pieces. Plus they still need sizable reserves for the defense of their massive country.

Russian military is moving towards complete ruin with the war in Ukraine.
