I’m sorry-I didn’t realize I had to either be neutral here or be a neo-Nazi. Well, I don’t much care for any of those options, so I’m going to root against America’s eternal enemy, communist Russia, and hope Russia incurs as few casualties as possible, but enough Putin calls off the dogs. That’s the option I’ve created for myself. I’ll go with that one.

was it him or zedarius smith that had the iconic pick 6 vs USC?
Might have been the first “this is a new UK football team” — moment
Why are people calling them “communist” Russia
This isn’t the Bolshevik Soviet Union we’re dealing with
Not the same ideology at all
Russia DOES still have a communist party - and i believe they hold seats in the Duma?
Still can't read. Consistency at least. Keep it up and your refusal to read the whole thing may lead to persistence.
"Eternal enemy"... except when they're allies, sure. Seems we may need to put dictionaries online or send as gifts so people understand the meaning of words such as "eternal."

I don't think Putin cares. End game seems to be where he is going regardless of what it takes to get there.
Allegations... lol
-Former president breathes into a phone and he's a potential white supremacists guilty of corruption.
-I get weird looks at the store if I pull out a 50 rather than use a card.
-Ukrainian public servant with 5 suitcases of euros and dollars and it's "alleged corruption"
.... media wonders why it's not taken seriously.
Or listen to government-controlled media and believe that.
Exactly. His boss was very recently operating from Switzerland when that country suddenly became un-neutral. Got to be more money involved than anyone is saying publicly.
The biggest, public, money-laundering scheme EVER known to man. In 4th place overall only due to the private enterprises we can't talk about.
The media could feed them red glass and they'd think, "Mmmmm, crunchy kool-aid. Genius!"
How connected does a Ukrainian public servant have to be, and TO WHOM that they would warrant an "alleged corruption" twitter mention by the media? Think about that for a moment.
By the way... 1.3 million or billion keeps coming up a lot lately. What's up with that?

And yet again the thread is taken over by political talk when there’s a political thread. Pathetic.
I love history andn sometimes it’s hard to cleanly separate historical discussion and political discussion - so i’ve probably been guilty there
oh shit - somebody made banana bread — gotta go!!

Russia - Ukraine WAR Warning: Political Discussions
Thread Title ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ they are tied in together since our current POTUS and his admin plus son have dealt with both countries and been paid handsomely. Also being a fact that the correlation may be why we moved so slow on Russia.
Brandon, is that you?
Jen says to tell Hunter that he left his pants at the cleaners and now everyone wants to look at them. Even with Zelensky paying them your 10%, big guy, they couldn't get the stain out of the top of the lap or somethjng... real hornets nest in there.
In fairness, it does warn about political discussions and to be honest, there is almost no way to discuss this without involving politics.
So the Ukrainians have retaken Makariv, a suburb of Kyiv. Oh the mighty Russians.
And, from Tucker......
'So, with a single command, Zelenskyy made it impossible for anybody to run against him for president. He did this not just to Opposition Platform for Life, but to ten other political parties that he believed were insufficiently loyal to him. They're all illegal now.'
'Zelenskyy has been solidifying complete control over Ukraine for a long time, since long before the Russian invasion and the war. Last year, he had his main political opponent arrested and his assets seized by the state. At the same time, Zelenskyy shut down three of Ukraine's most popular television networks—channels that, not coincidentally, had criticized him.'
'So, it's entirely natural to root for the Ukrainians to expel the invaders, and obviously we are rooting for them to expel the invaders, Russia. But just because what Russia has done in Ukraine was wrong doesn't mean you have to lie about the Ukrainian government'

i think most here care about the human suffering at Putin’s hands.
What I mean is that every country/side that is considered the good guy has a few Nazis somewhere in its ranks. Don't you think there are some in the US Conservatives' ranks? I do. Do they change the overall rightness of their positions? No.
Their choice to be there. I don't care anymore for them they anyone else so not worthy of being singled out for discussion.
No near as awful as Ukraine cutting off water supply to Crimea when Russia took it over 8 years ago. Not that was worth crying over.
Didn't Tucker, who I just can't stand, leave out that Zelensky suspended political parties with Russian ties? I have no idea what their internal politics are but if those parties did in fact have Russian ties, he would be right to suspend them. The only one of any merit is led by Putins god-daughter. Gee, I have no idea why you'd shut that one down. Let's see what he does after the war is over. If he chooses the authoritarian route that will be problematic but that is for the people of Ukraine to decide.And, from Tucker......

That's it with me on trust. Gov and media have lied so much, it's extremely difficult to know when to believe them on anything about anything. My fallback position is pretty much doubt everything they say.
Russians laying siege to Ukrainian cities yet still paying Ukraine rent on their pipeline. Go figure.

War Is Raging, But Russia Is Still Paying Ukraine for Gas Flows
(Bloomberg) -- It’s been a month since the war started, but Russia is actually shipping more natural gas through Ukraine and Moscow is still paying Kyiv in full for transiting the fuel to Europe.Most Read from BloombergWhere Mornings Would Get Darker Under Permanent Daylight Savings TimeChina...
I'm guessing Ukraine could shut it down if rent wasn't paid. Both countries need the money.Russians laying siege to Ukrainian cities yet still paying Ukraine rent on their pipeline. Go figure.

Who cares? It’s occupied territory. They are supposed to send their resources to the Russians? How stupid does that sound? That’s like the Taliban, after we f’d them up in the beginning of the Afghan invasion with Special Forces, sending the US supplies. Does that sound like a smart thing to do?
It’s not good but it also shows that politics is involved in the Ukraine situation and has been for about a decade.
I am not so convinced. As this drags out, he might get drastic (don't think Nukes) and will ramp it up as he is now just destroying buildings. Ukrainians are fighting valiantly, and I am surprised (in a good way) and want them (the people) to kick ass.
You know how hard it is in urban/guerilla warfare. The Ukrainians can hide in the subways and be opportunistic for ever just about. Parts of the Kyiv subway system are 350 feet deep. Putin has lost 10% of his invasion force in 4 weeks. If that increases over the next 4 weeks I don't see how he stays. The more weapons, ammunition and tech we provide to Ukraine, the less likely it is for Putin to ever get a win. Eventually he will declare a win and slither home.
They apparently live in Crimea and fully behind Russia I guess
That’s what I was thinking as well, and thank you for posting all that you do. I don’t really mess with Twitter so I appreciate it.
