Shut your whore mouth!
Fastest growing metropolis in Florida! 1800 people in 2010...10800 people in 2020 and projected to 30k by 2030.
Houses and apartment complexes going up all over the place.
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I'd say it's a province, since they are political entities. Not quite a state, but not without political structures and empowered local entities.
In my mind I think of them as counties, but they seem bigger than counties.

Our own @ericram is in Ukraine right now helping out wounded from the war. I would love to know more: how you got involved, how others can help, are the Ukrainian women as hot as the internet suggests, what you are doing to stay safe over there?

We know it’s not 40b in rubles because that would be about Tree Fiddy in USD.
That is amazing!
I'll say it again...this thread is one of the best I've ever followed on the interwebz.
As a two time visitor to Ukraine, I can answer your third question with a definitive yes. A very definitive yes.
I suspect their clientele wore uniforms and stored different stuff than most malls.
FDOT controls all of the major roads. Hwy20 is scheduled to have a lot of work done but adding lanes is difficult due to constriction of the right of way. CR883 (Business 331) has the right of way to expand but by the time it happens, it will be too late. The Freeport Planning Dept and the city council keep approving developments without first addressing the infrastructure needs.

SIAP-while looking up this story about Ukraine being a priority for Bulgaria, I think I found the reason why they are being so nice.
"Ukraine’s government faced growing opposition to its plan to purchase Russian-made mothballed nuclear reactors from Bulgaria, as reported by Politico. The $600 million scheme aims to bring two new units online at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant in Western Ukraine to shore up the country’s energy grid, which has been severely damaged by Russian attacks.
Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko defended the plan, stating,
He emphasized that expanding nuclear power is the only option for the beleaguered energy grid.
However, several lawmakers, including some from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s own party, have raised concerns about potential corruption and the effectiveness of the aging equipment. According to Politico, MP Andrii Zhupanyn, from Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People party and a member of the parliament’s energy committee, questioned,
The controversy comes amid recent corruption allegations in Ukraine’s energy sector. Earlier in the week, Deputy Energy Minister Oleksandr Kheil was arrested over allegations of soliciting a bribe in exchange for transferring coal mining equipment.
Critics argue that the nuclear reactor purchase could become another avenue for corruption. Yaroslav Zheleznyak, an MP from Ukraine’s liberal Holos party, expressed concerns about the procurement process, stating,
Environmental NGO Ekodiya has also raised concerns about the proposals, arguing that the project would rely on “obsolete Russian-made equipment” and could lead to safety and efficiency problems."

Well this might take a while. Will definitely give you more info but it's time for dinner and 2 very attractive Ukrainian women invited me to dinner. So will have to wait to get to the rest of the story.
And yes I really am in Ukraine.
I would like to believe Ukraine could open another offensive but think they may just be keeping those other forces in reserve.
Well said.
Why Zelensky’s gambling it all on Kursk
Incursion into Russia may be short-lived but shows Ukraine is sick of the West’s restrictionswww.thetimes.com
Summary of the day
- Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, has said that “in the Kursk region, we can clearly see how the military tool is being used objectively to persuade [the Russian Federation] to enter a fair negotiation process.”
- Military authorities in Pokrovsk, a city in eastern Ukraine, have urged civilians to speed up their evacuation because the Russian army is quickly closing in.
- Russian attacks killed three civilians in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, the region’s governor said.
- The UK’s Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence update that after initial disorganisation, Russian forces have deployed in greater force in the Kursk region.
- A Russian parliamentary deputy, Mikhail Sheremet, said that the Ukrainian incursion into Russia has brought the world close to an all-out global war.
- Russia is seeking to open a criminal case against two journalists of Italy’s state broadcaster Rai who entered the Kursk region alongside Ukrainian troops.
- Test results showed that the tap water at a German military base in Cologne was not contaminated.
Russia-Ukraine war: Russian army ‘deployed in greater force’ in Kursk after Ukrainian offensive – as it happened
The UK’s Ministry of Defence said Russian forces were initially disorganised following Ukraine’s lightning offensive
Future "mine detector" on the Kursk Front
Perhaps one of the other two bridges (main one holed but still being used) that some suspected would be taken out.
"Russian sources:The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the bridge over the Seim River in the Kursk region with HIMARS missiles."

Your video is from a member of the Heritage Foundation.
Just slightly biased presentation. But since you celebrate Russian propaganda, not the least bit surprised.
Be better.
Joe Biden is the last leader of a generation that thought deeply about the transatlantic role in the defence of Europe.Why Zelensky’s gambling it all on Kursk
Incursion into Russia may be short-lived but shows Ukraine is sick of the West’s restrictions
It was Biden’s passion that kept the arms flowing to Ukraine; his intuition that turned the Ukrainian cause into a way of regenerating a no longer “brain-dead” (copyright E Macron) Nato. And it was Biden’s reticence that stopped the defence of Ukraine from turning into an all-out war against Putin’s Russia.
When he takes his hat and moves out to Delaware that Cold War savvy will have gone and the urgency of the defence of Ukrainian democracy, one of the defining issues of our time, will have dissipated.
Biden’s Cold War savvy has shielded Ukraine
Whoever wins the US election, it is unlikely Kyiv’s defence will still be seen as vital to the West

There’s the prospect of a White House occupied again by Donald Trump, who can barely conceal his indifference towards Ukraine, and his chosen veep, the punchy senator JD Vance, who is on record as saying: “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine.”
On the other side of the barricades is Kamala Harris, who has stayed tepidly on the Biden message (supporting Ukraine “for as long as it takes”) but who is even more resistant to escalation than her present boss.

From 30 minutes ago so I hope this is not a rehash of last night.
"Something important is happening in Kerch, Crimea!10 explosions reported in Kerch & traffic jams in front of the Crimean Bridge are getting longer and longer! To be continued!"

Sure makes Russia look weak. You'd think Russia would respond very aggressively if it could. So when it doesn't, does that mean it can't?
So often the music is some terrible east European heavy metal, but he lyrics in that song...
