Ukraine's Kursk Gambit: The End of Putin, or Zelensky? in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Russia launched a large scale invasion in a neighbouring country, making it pretty clear they are in the wrong. Furthermore, as someone who lives in a European country, I hope my country keeps supporting Ukraine. At least as European countries we need to be one block against the aggressor. As the US is an important ally with a lot of military capability, I hope they keep following us in our support for Ukraine.

I remember liking the idea of Odysee, but that turned rather quickly

I've been watching quite a lot of Olympics coverage on TV, but never seen any ads. Is there an official Olympics TV channel with these ads?

As someone from not America, I hope you don't elect Trump, and we all move away from this authoritarian movement. One can only hope.

I just don't understand it. I once watched a video of his out of curiosity, as he had the largest YouTube channel, and I just don't get it. Our country's TV channel for children is more interesting.

I'll preface this by saying that English is not my mother language and I'm sorry if this isn't the right community, but I didn't find a more appropriate one.

Last year I started to notice more and more people on YouTube for example using the verb "to put" without a preposition -- like "Now I put the cheese" -- which sounds very weird and kind of feels wrong to me. Is this really used in spoken English and is it grammatically correct?
