[QUOTE=Riina;2709819]Yeah, keep egging them on.[/QUOTE]Or is it just sour grapes? With only a single sentence, it's hard to tell.
[QUOTE=Misterxxx;2709850]Turkey had the status for 18 years. Has Turkey ever become a member of the EU?[/QUOTE]But what about Turkey? I don't know. What about them? Turkey has their own issues with the EU that they need to work through. Not least of which is their history of antipathy with EU member Greece. And then there's the matter of Cyprus, which is still problematic.
Three nations were being considered for EU candidate status: Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. Two were recommended and one (Georgia) was not. The EU decides for itself who they believe should be granted candidate status. If Georgia, or Turkey, want admission to the EU then it's up to them to work out their issues to the satisfaction of the EU.
Obviously, that hasn't happened yet. But their issues have nothing to do with Ukraine. It's also true that Ukraine's unique position as a victim of war has provided a positive impetus to their candidacy. But the responsibility for that lies squarely on Putin. It's quite ironic that his attempts to keep Ukraine from looking westward have had the opposite effect.
[QUOTE=PedroMorales;2709865]All this BS belongs in the Stupid Shit (SS) thread about SS Ukraine. Galician Ukraine is a basket case, even before Romania, Hungary and Poland take their cut. It has no hope of coming within an ass's roar (is that the correct expression) of meeting any of the criteria. The EU does not need another US invoked Bosnia. Too much Mafia.
The Israelis and Americans should stfu.
More to the point: how come these admittedly good looking women get premium price for their mutton? Ukrainians are noted for lying on their back and thinking of Bandera. And many Ben Franklins. Economics, the weird science.[/QUOTE]If I had a dollar for every blown prediction, by so-called experts, about what "should" be happening with Ukraine, I'd have a boatload of dollars.
And that started with the outrageously bogus prediction by Russia that they would seize Kyiv in about 12 hours, and that Ukraine's govt would flee within 72 hours.

And plenty in Europe went along, which is why so many sat on the sidelines rather than rush to help. But Ukraine has thrown it all back in the faces of the "experts" and continues to defy and exceed expectations.
Before Feb 24th, who would have thought Ukraine would be recommended for EU candidate status in less than 4 months time, and also be fully endorsed by Italy, Germany, France, and the EU Commission?
It's amusing to see how many were wrong about so much. And more amusing still to see how many will be proven wrong in the future.

No wonder the US is the most popular country in Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, Croatia, and Russia is the most hated.

They have definitely exceeded expectations, but they had a lot of help, especially at first, and the world should have helped. Now, I am not sure, as the previous poster wrote, Ukraine should focus on a small victory and live to fight another day.
If they push there luck, they will end up with very little, broke and flattened. Very tough decision.

As for what Ukraine "should" do, I'll leave that for them to decide. And it's for every individual country to decide what cost-sharing they care to do. I would note that, especially for countries like Poland and the Baltics, this can be characterized as a "pay now or pay more later" scenario.

Unanimous approval for EU candidate status! May this be a good first step toward a great future.
And congratulations to Moldova, as well!

A group of Ukrainian women is selling their nudes to fundraise for the country's forces. They've raised over $700,000 in 3 months.
The Guardian is a rag.
The US destroyed Yugoslavia, along with the Vatican and Germany. US bombing of Yugoslavia was a war crime, one of countless the US has committed, unrelen ting Mon. This of bombing. Media stations, the Chinese Embassy and so on. /.
Croats: large Nazi element.
#Albania, Kosovo (the heart of Serbia_ Bosnia: gangster states hosting MEK and other US funded terrorist cults.
No one likes Americans unless they are being bribed.
Good on Ukrainian women (and men) making money by pimping themselves. Sticking to what they are good at.

Or perhaps it's an attempt to send a petulant message to world leaders at the G-7 conference? No matter the reason, intentionally targeting civilian areas, or launching missiles with willful and callous disregard for civilian casualties, simply adds to the list of Putin's war crimes. I haven't seen any reporting in which Russia even pretends they were aiming at military targets.

FWIW, this latest attack highlights the point I made three weeks ago about Kyiv not yet being out of the woods.

If you're currently in Kyiv, or elsewhere in Ukraine, please be safe!
So where can a monger find these Ukrainian girls? Poland?
From the reports it seems Kiev is not a viable option these days, so I'd love to know where the girls went to.

There is quite Ukrainian's crossing the Mexican border at San Ysidro. Not sure why, but I have not seen any good looking Ukrainian girls. Would be nice if some of them worked in Tijuana or SD.

So if you just want to have fun find a other destination. And now with the war even more girls left Ukraine.
