Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Corvus]

I mean russia was literally flying and bussing voters in. They weren't even trying to hide their interference.

[Cynical Asshole]

Nah, I'm just waiting for the Ukrainians to finish developing their own nukes and ballistic missile programs. Then they will negotiate on their own terms without western restrictions.

Not gonna happen. Only countries that can be fully trusted by the West are allowed to have nukes. Ukraine as it is has a huge problem with corruption as well as potential Russian interference, and those are major liabilities.

They have the right to defend themselves. They arent getting the defense support they need by us, their allies, so they will need a larger deterent.
We have talked about the Ukrainians ability to build and maintain nukes here several times now, and their missile program is moving quickly, they have had several successful test launches recently.
If its between a stern finger wagging by the west or the destruction of their country, what would they choose?
I think some people forget that Ukraine is fighting for right to exist, they should't have limitations on what they are defending themselves with for that.

Giving putin and now lil kimmy a kick in the teeth is all just the gravy on the fries.

…gravy on fries sounds absolutely vile

…gravy on fries sounds absolutely vile

Gravy on potatoes sounds vile? It's literally a meat and potatoes flavor profile.

Unless your name is not a coincidence and you're vegetarian, I guess.

It will blow your mind.

Now I miss YUPPIE posting videos of graphic violent deaths, at least that is less gross than Poutine.

By that logic a milkshake should mix well with salmon pasta…

Poutine looks like a warcrime.

That's not the same logic at all. Fries and gravy is fundamentally similar to mashed potatoes and gravy, steak and potatoes, beef stew, hash browns and bacon. The "meat" in "meat and potatoes" is understood to be a fairly narrow range of meats; generally red meats or maybe poultry. Not fish.

Wildly different meat with wildly different carbs, along with lots of sugar... that's not even remotely the same.

Poutine looks like a warcrime.

Who cares what it looks like?

Routine is the Canadian version of Kapsalon. Or vice versa.

Seems almost closer to nachos.

Looks delicious, either way.

One of the nice things about Seattle is the availability of all kinds of Thai, Indian, and Mediterranean foods. I do miss the Mexican food options of California, though.

Yeah that does look good. I have seen variations of that around usually called loaded fries or chips. Sambal is great.
We should probably get back on topic before we get yelled at.

It does amaze me that this abomination is Canadian and not from the USA, as it looks like someone vomited a heartattack on a plate.

Fries should be crisp. Pouring liquid over it is… well quite frankly that’s American, and Canadians should be better!

Chips and Gravy is a northern English staple. Adding cheese curds to it is weird, but so is adding mushy peas and that works.

Thank you for agreeing with me.

Atleast I assume that’s what you mean, slamming it by calling it ‘English cuisine’

A lot of English food rightly has a terrible reputation, but chips and gravy isn't one of them.

Gravy on potatoes. Oh, the humanity!

A good part of Germans drown their fries in mayonnaise. Which is just as wrong imo

I think mayo is the norm in most of Europe (except the people that only had fries at McDonalds)

[Belize]

Look at all these wrong opinions, both poutine and fries with mayo are BiS.
