uhhhhh

Here in CA the houses are small enough that one single smoke detector will alert everyone in the house (and probably half the neighbors) without a problem.

Like mine much easier to clean though.And my alarms died after a 2 yrs but I have 2 parrots and I;m very careful

This is starting to become alarming.

Russia Threatens to Blow Up ICC With Hypersonic Missile (msn.com)

Lol. Just media BS. How is it any more alarming than the US govt passing the Hague Invasion Act into law or US govt placing sanctions on ICC investigators who were discussing the possibility of investigating Americans for war crimes in Afghanistan.

Russia does not recognize the ICC as legitimate. Neither does the US. Neither country is a party to the ICC treaty. The ICC is a giant circle jerk nothing-berger fkn joke of twats in the Netherlands. Russia doesn't need to blow it up or threaten to blow it up. ICC has no power or jurisdiction over jacksh*t. Their little arrest warrant of Putin is a dog and pony show to distract from the fact that Ukraine is getting slaughtered in this proxy war despite the US govt best efforts to throw an endless amount of money and intel Ukraine's way.

I think Xi wants to be a player, they recently broker some deal between the Saudia and Persians.  He may think he can stop the fighting in Ukraine, a thing Putin likely would welcome.

China definitely wants to be THE worlds super power. It's a stated goal of that country. Brokering a deal between the Saudis (our biggest ally in the mideast) and Iran (our biggest enemy in the mideast) was most definitely a huge deal and left egg on the face of 'Merica on the worlds stage.

If China was able to bring about the end of the war in Ukraine- a proxy war of the US- which the US has kept going to the tune of $100+ billion (in a single fkn year btw) in aid to Ukraine plus all kinds of intel & strategtic planning & military training- yeah- would be a bad look for the US and just be more hits and damage to this country on the worlds stage.

China has leverage over both countries. Russia needs a customer for their energy and they want Chinese weapons systems. Ukraine does not want China to give Russia weapons. Obviously. They might be able to help bring about an end to this awful war. Someone has to step up and try and do it. It clearly won't be the US, so I don't care if it's China.

Lulz.

sorry, guess I don't see the destruction of an entire country and the US engaging in a proxy war to "bleed Russia dry" (Hilary Clinton's words on MSNBC, not mine) as lulz. to each his own though.

Hillary Clinton doesn't speak for me, or for the US, or anyone else of consequence.  You can choose to listen to her blatherings and get all worked up over them if you like.

she is the ultimate insider, a living breathing embodiment of the establishment of DC which dictates policy and runs this country. her mindset is the same mindset of the people in this current administration- many of the same people she worked with in the Obama administration and many of the same people who worked for her husband in his administration. it's obvious to anyone with a brain what the US end game is. US wants to bleed Russia out and they want to push them out of Europe, they do not care if Ukraine gets destroyed and devastated in the process. At all. They don't want Russian energy being sold in Europe and they don't want Russia to have influence in Europe. Europe is OUR shit. Think of countries as gangs, it makes even more sense. US is the biggest baddest gang, and Europe is OUR turf. As the first Secretary General of NATO Baron Ismay said long ago, the purpose of NATO was to keep the Russians out of Europe, the Americans in, and the Germans down. Russia snuck into Europe via oil & natural gas, and well we want them the fk off OUR turf. 

US govt doesn't give a flying fk what happens to the people of Ukraine. US does not care about democracy, the territorial integrity of sovereign nations, international law, or any of that- and anyone who believes that load of crap is naive and might as well still believe in Santa Clause or the tooth fairy. The US is a great power, THE great power in the world, and like all great powers before it since the beginning of time it deals only in self interest.

The 1%ers are a problem and Hillery damn sure isn't an answer....or an insider
