A "common sense" proposal that will piss off both sides
I live in an extremely small town of 56, closest town over 1000 is 90 miles away, in a county the bigger than Rhode Island with less than 1200 people. The idea that rural children are isolated from people outside their family is wrong. -
Ukraine / Russia
Thank you, I did misunderstand you. My concern is that you cannot continue to provide this level of support and not realistically expect that at some point we get drug into a more active participation. Many people in my age group are (I think) viewing this through Cold War glasses.- Handlebar

agreed, we will only know for sure in the future. But I would like to know is how will we judge the effectiveness of this money spent. Putin goes home? Ukraine gets its eastern provinces back? I think that is what he was after, the attacks towards Kyiv were a feint. Crimea? My view at this...- Handlebar

so do you believe that ultimately the Europeans wean themselves off? Would you fathom a guess on the price ramifications of that, and sorry do you have a map showing gas lines to the east. Thanks- Handlebar

I am not sure if it is a waste or not but I wish that there was some sort of way to judge the effectiveness of the money spent. Is the money spent going to allow Ukraine to recapture the eastern provinces, because I do not believe that Russia is going to try to capture the whole country.- Handlebar

Planning for an Eastern Montana mule deer hunt
I am right on the SD/MT line. We had 1" of rain before the snow then we got at least a foot of snow. Very welcome moisture. -
