A major tornado outbreak looms while National Weather Service is thrown into chaos. Canada relies on NOAA's weather data as does the rest of the world for global modelling. We're all one family in the weather world. youtu.be/Xi2YQxIyPd8

Liberal boomer dipshits have no idea what NATO is or does — they just know their neocon thought leaders and the dismal Dems love it and Trump hates it — so they're clamoring for war with Russia
