Mark Temnycky, RCW: *Is Europe Giving Up on Ukraine?*
There are worrying signs that the big players in the European Union may be
ready to give up on Ukraine. April 2019 marked the fifth anniversary of the
conflict in the Donbas, and while deliberations were recently held to try
and resolve this crisis, France and Germany have signaled their fatigue
with the conflict and a desire to return to a normal relationship with
Moscow.
Throughout the course of the conflict, Ukraine has made real strides toward

"After almost four years of lavish rhetoric against China, tariffs all over

China to agree to very few concessions. Meanwhile, the United States will

A serious warning about firearms security
It's long been the practice among security-conscious firearms owners to
obscure the serial numbers in any photographs of firearms they put up on
the Internet. This is because unscrupulous characters have been known to
note the serial numbers, report "their" firearm stolen (with that same
serial number), and claim the loss against their own insurance policies.
The insurance company/ies then keep the firearm on the stolen property
lists, and if there's ever an inspection (for example, you're stopped while

What Iraq taught me about identity, community, war and peace
A remarkable insight here and it applies everywhere. It is that all wars
end with talking. It is from this talking that human beings create
community and a common future. It is from not talking that wars do break
out.
Again i see the rule of Twelve also applies. A natural team is created to
interface with another such team and from this results are possible without
easily veering off onto someone's demands.
What is obvious is that any natural community by coexist with any other
natural communitty and it is all about talking.

Both Comey And Brennan Voted Communist While Cold War Was Raging

students with the active support of academe then launching the faux
sciences of sociology and political science in particular. All the other

Thus such students did exist and could transition into law in particular

Nonviolent film festival From the desk of Bruno Pischiutta
There are two types of pornography in the film industry. The one we know

violence. If we have learned anything during the past thirty years it is
that the viewer becomes accustomed to any intermediate level and soon
upgrades to alternatives within the genre. This process has been
essentially maxed out and ample product has been produced as well.
Yet it is more than possible to draw legitimate lines in which the industry
can choose to not participate. No penetration still empowers a genre of
