The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

First, a link would be good.

Second, the excerpt you posted contains some bias. "Genocidal war" I don't think applies. They aren't trying to wipe out a tribe, or a different ethnic group (like the Hutus and Tutsis). This was purely a ploy to solidify control over Crimea by seizing the land bridge, and trying to force any peace plan to include Ukraine not being in NATO (or, possibly, just taking them over entirely).

At least as I think of "genocide", this really isn't it. Not that this makes the war any better, but it is an emotional adjective, and I don't think it applies.
