Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 26/12/2025It's more than Ukraine. It's a front line to Central Europe. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 09/12/2025The beginning of a greater problem in Central Europe, throwing cold water on a failed attempt to make peace in the Ukraine-Russo War. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Putin is just trying to stay alive, trump is just trying to stay awake. 020
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 06/12/2025A footy peace prize. Trump was silently laughing at this, too. But...in the end, it's...."I'll take it!" 030
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 03/12/2025What is difficult to understand is this: Trump's most significant achievement was the aggressive funding of the mRNA COVID vaccine, which saved countless lives--AND--has led to promising cancer treatments. Then....this ridiculous policy under his authority. No sense. None...whatsoever. 110
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 27/11/2025And every nation except Russia and Belarus knows that. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 26/11/2025We never thought we'd see the day when Germany was leading the fight for freedom, but there it is. Thank you, Germany and the EU--for taking the lead. 020
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Since when does the free world "suit" aggressors? 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 22/11/2025As trump becomes more of an irrelevant lame duck, we may see more discussion and consideration on the Hill. At least...one hopes. 030
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 10/11/2025No Russians should compete in the Olympics while Russia is banned. This "neutral athlete" plan is wrong. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 08/11/2025The "employment" rate (percentage of eligible workers who are employed) is falling. The "unemployment" rate is a false indicator. People fall off the statistic into oblivion. It is the number of people who are employed that matters. 100
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 06/11/2025This is a travesty. Extend the healthcare subsidies and go after the health insurance industry for regional monopolies. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 06/11/2025 "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" Ebenezer Scrooge 010
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Airfares are obscenely high, it's an insult to pay them. Drive or take the train. 110
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Produce some meaningful content, instead of brain-dead nonsense. Americans are not numbskulls. 010
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 03/11/2025The MLB World Series is the American League vs the National League....not US vs Canada!!!! You psychologists have the duty to explain that! 110
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Alternatives: China and India, with the US as a stretch. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Our Native Americans are the true minorities in the US that have been horribly mistreated. Yet, we never hear an angry word from them, even in their protests. The idea of peace is existential to the American Indian. 020
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Musk continues to walk the line between marketing and self-destruction. 030
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 28/10/2025It's fairly obvious from the images that the hired ICE agents are not among the finest representatives of the human race. Expect very little of them in terms of class and intelligence. 010
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Musk has a good sense of manufacturing, but I think his long-term vision for Tesla is faulty. America birthed the auto industry, but Musk doesn't understand the American driver. 020
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/10/2025No one has a good relationship with Vlad Putin. It's a silent duel. 190
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Outlaw clamshell packaging completely. It's not just harmful to the environment...you need the "jaws of life" to break it open. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/10/2025California is going to become a very difficult state to live in. Housing costs--including insurance--will be even more exorbitant, and labor to improve, restore, or build housing will be scarce. A good Governor will be essential. 021
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Xi plays the long game, trump plays the short game. 110
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 25/10/2025The EU has to save Ukraine. Putin has successfully marginalized the US. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 24/10/2025But San Francisco has got to get its act together. It needs to restore its beauty and safety. The exorbitant price of housing is a huge problem, and has driven the middle class out. The city needs tough leadership. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 24/10/2025UMd is a great public university. More donations should be made to public universities. The cost of a college education is obscene in the US. 030
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I like some of those items. I had a knock-off TagHeuer that was fantastic--for years. I wish I could find another vendor! 010
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Many practices in DC are now out of the insurance business altogether. Pay a monthly fee and get services at no additional cost. It's a growing trend in the US. 000
Noncombatant @noncombatant.bsky.social · 24/10/2025People are tired of reboots, sequels, etc. Give the public some good, original writing and new stories about people—no more dystopia, fantasy, or overbearing special effects. A good movie is a good story. Be original. Be creative again. 050
