Goals! Goals for everyone!
ManUre got a late goal to salvage the first leg of their UCL tie. Benfica and Ajax drew as well. Liverpool absolutely demolished Leeds and put some pressure back on Man City at the top of the table. And Spurs, coming off their defeat of the aforementioned City, lost to lowly Burnley. Don’t look now, Everton, the bottom of the table is calling. This is non-sports, but the guy used to be an athlete. And I wholeheartedly applaud this move. Had he done this at the start, I think a lot more people would have supported him. And MLB said if there’s no labor agreement in place by Monday, the season will have to be shortened. SO plan on the season being shortened. And that’s sports.
He’s right, you know. This is not a decision people should be pushing very young children into making and they should be reserved for when a person is old enough mentally (read: an adult) to understand the repercussions of permanently altering their physiology.
Compliments of the United States government.
I hope our government is proud of itself. Because they caused this as much as anybody. They did. And it’s a freaking genocide. Nice work, Obama, Truimp, and Biden. And those in Congress who allowed them to pursue it, you pieces of shit.
It’s just “cultural differences”. And FIFA are letting these backward-ass people host a World Cup. SMDH.

The only exception to the No Pediatric “Gender-Affirming” measures is for intersex people. That condition, mercifully, is very rare, and I do think it could be argued that relatively early hormone therapy and//or surgery is appropriate, depending on the case.
I’ve only known one person (AFAIK) born “intersex”, and her parents chose physical, biochemical, and eventually psychological therapies to help her lead a normal life. She’s completely fine with it now.

What an eye opener for a teen.
Besides the whole Ukraine mess this morning — the Middle East is Yet Another Reason I wholeheartedly support US (and anyone else who cares) energy independence. I don’t care how many times people try to trot out the “You screwed up the Middle East! You have to fix it!” crap — that region (and Africa for that matter) has been gleefully slaughtering each other since the dawn of recorded history. I don’t think anything we do will change that — and we need to stop jumping into that mess with both feet.
At one point it looked like Russia was going to jump into Syria with both feet. That was our chance to withdraw and let Putin fill that vacuum.
Instead the neocons got their war panties in a bunch about Russia’s “influence” in the region. So while we didn’t start a full blown invasion of Syria we kept the Russian Bear out.
Yeah, we need to just leave. Fuck that whole place.
Our foreign policy in the area is so thoroughly fucked up that I don’t how it’s possible to unwind it.
Assad was keeping the Islamists at bay. And Syria has traditionally been a Russian client state dating back to the Soviet Union.
Sticking our dick in that particular hornet’s nest was insane. Never mind that it appears we staged false flag attacks in order to drum up popular support for it.
how it’s possible to unwind it
Woodchippers could do a lot – pour encourager les autres.
Problem being… Tar babies are sticky.
Letting Russia sort out Syria would have been for the best. They’d be too busy to fuck with The Ukraine.
Oh, if we subjected some of our experts to the consequences of their folly, I think they’d be much less enthusiastic to dive into another shithole.
I am telling you that it is now absolutely obvious to me that the people that cheer on the Great Reset agenda, are fighting against the US’ energy independence because it is part of that agenda to keep the US from simply saying “I ain’t playing this game, bitchez”. An energy self sufficient US must be a serious problem to that reset. Not to mention that by forcing countries to be energy dependent these same people have stood up massive government backed rackets that have enriched an élite few that peddle the whole green energy agenda (but never nuclear, the only true carbon free energy source that is viable).
We need too resume designing and building new nuclear power plants. People need to get rid of their irrational fear of them.
There was a concerted effort to scare people about nuclear power that was very successful. I have had countless discussions with people that actually told me I was wrong for telling them the nuclear reactors can never explode like a nuclear bomb from a meltdown simply because they saw that idiot movie “China Syndrome” and were illiterate about nuclear physics. But they were SURE nukular was bad. Chernobyl!
We will never generate enough energy to support a modern and energy consumption heavy society without adopting nuclear. Especially if we want to do it green. The gen4 nuke reactors that don’t even use uranium (and/or produce plutonium) make even the old meltdown stories impossible, but people still have this programming that nuclear is bad. It is a travesty that China will have working gen4 reactors in the next couple of years and we are still not even accepting we need nuclear.
Here is a piece of information for all of us: without nuclear power, the US will not be able to field even a decent orbital space force (commercial or military0. And forget habitats in orbit or on other planets without it. Whichever country becomes the leader in nuke tech will be the one to control space (and thus life on earth), and right now that looks to be something we have ceded to the CCP. get ready for your credit score and a laser from orbit to clean you up once you drop too low.
Definitely preaching to the choir here. And to think I left out a rant on nuclear from my original comment because I figured y’all had heard it from me too often. 😉
People need to get rid of their irrational fear of them.
It even looks like Russia wants a nuclear waste site.

“Secularism” is a boring word for an idea that isn’t boring at all: that nobody’s religion should rule another. When Christian Nationalists make trans kids the latest target of their assault on that idea, don’t think you’re immune if you’re not trans: they’re coming for all.
https://twitter.com/JeffSharlet/status/1496145719425646597
What if I am neither religious nor nationalist but I cannot believe children understand enough to actually be trans?
If the right influencers got on social media and declared that they are furries and furries are the only gender that cool people would consider, I’m confident that the number of trans kids would plummet back down to 0%.
On the other hand, I’m sure a bunch of attention seeking, insecure teenage furries would come with their own batch of problems/demands. But at least they could take off their furry costume when they mature with no lasting damage.
Does sneaking into the girls’ bathroom in grade school count as trans? Inquiring minds and all
At your age, Fourscore, I wouldn’t recommend even going into a grade school. Much less sneaking into the girls’ bathroom.
Leave that stuff for the professionals like OMWC.
If having sex with a child is abuse even if consensual, then surgical mutilation and permanent alteration of their natural development through the use of drugs is just a tad bit suspect.
Funny how unconcerned I am about these Christian Nationalists lurking in the shadows all around me, despite my atheism and various kinks.
Must be false consciousness or internalized homophobia or something…
I really don’t see what Christianity even has to do with the trans issue.
They’re just framing the argument in order to make it backwards-thinking Christians versus the enlightened woke.

The ease with which people reach for internal discrimination of a whole nationality of people simply for being born within a country is quite frightening. The neocon worldview of conflating govt actions with nations is poisonous.
https://twitter.com/MrRBourne/status/1496819624683479042
See this is a silly suggestion, but, to be faaair, Russian kids in British private schools are not random Russians, they are the children of the ruling class I would assume.
How about pumping oil and gas instead?
This ain’t rocket surgery.
How many of those kids are the kids of the Russian oligarchy however?
I’d bet many of those oligarchs predate Putin. As bad as it is now, it was god-awful in the 90’s under the watchful (yet absolutely drunken) gaze of Boris.
I met Yeltsin in the early 90’s. He was drunk of course.
NO! All of the them come from impoverished Lower Slobavia! Why you hurt children?
So, Russia’s been bombing Ukraine for how many hours now?
How long until Biden can be woken up, drugged, and put in front of a teleprompter?
He is too busy staring off into the void and picking his teeth.

Is that an even cheaper knock off of Top Ramen?
It’s a dehydrated cabbage soup mix.
If Romania is getting pegged, they ain’t the top.
The way I read it, Pie is excited Ukranian women are coming to top Romania.
He never made any wild claims that Romanians would be the tops.
Someone has no imagination…
He went to Romania a tight-end. Came home as a wide-receiver.

So… you’re saying there’s a chance there will be an influx of attractive young women coming to my neck of the woods?
I was thinking about you the other day. My Kroger has an enormous pączki display, but so far Ive been able to avoid them.
Back when I dated the Big, Huge, Giant, Polock (OG-2X-OG) my kitchen was littered with those things this time of year.
…she’s from Cleveland
We’re getting all fancy with them up here now. I picked up a pączki and wine pairing to pick up Friday night, and I’m planning on calling off work on Tuesday for the big celebration up the street from me. A brewery is coming out to pour beer and sell cocktails. For their annual special flavor, they partnered with a tiki bar, and have Hurricane pączki this year.
I never heard of pączki until Neph mentioned them here a week ago. A day after that, there was a big table display of them right at the entrance of our local Giant Eagle. It’s still there, continuously replenished…

The two teams directly “above” Everton are actually below them in Pts per Game. Everton is in dicey territory, but would still have to get passed by 4 teams. And home form is looking good under Lampard, as bad as away still is. Of course, this weekend’s home game is against Man City, so that doesn’t matter.
Lampard?

I want Everton to win this weekend.
(Mark this for posterity, because it’s one of the few times you’ll ever see it beside my name.)
#megadittoes
Of course you do. I do too, but if City wins, there is a positive side effect.
And a loss to City isn’t going to determine Everton’s fate.
I am not even sure if top 11 will play this weekend, with Boreham Wood coming up on Thursday.
I would be thrilled with a pt vs City, and I am sure you would take that result too.

Schadenfreude update: The company that layed me off last June (stock price at the time $42) closed just above $6 yesterday. They fell from $28 to $14 overnight after the 3rd quarter earnings call in November. Tomorrow is the 4th quarter call. I don’t expect another fall on Monday, because all the negatives have to be priced in, so any positives at all will probably lead to a jump, but it still amuses me.
I do feel bad for some of my co-workers who are still there. That numbers gets smaller every time I check linkedin.
Been there. The company I left was broken up and sold off a year later.
The company I worked for was busy for a few years buying up smaller companies. Integration was bad at best.
They recently announced they are selling off one of them. At their current price, I could see someone buying them out, because there are some valuable pieces within the company. Competent management and paring down the losers would lead to a good company, IMO.
I left GE in 2002 after they told me if I didn’t do what they wanted, they would not be compensating me properly anymore. So many people told me I was crazy for leaving that company, especially with all my uncashed stock options I had. Best decision I ever made. Even my ex was pissed at me. For years. Sometimes you might not be happy or sure about leaving but then you realize when you see things happen that t was actually something good for you.
Looks to me that’s how you need to see what happened to you. Something that looked/felt bad, turned out to be a boon…
Life has a lot of those moments, but you won’t realize it as such until after.
I am much happier with current company. I like the job more and the company is in a better spot financially. Privately held too. Just finished 11th consecutive year of double digit growth and broke $1B in revenue for the first time in 2021. And is profitable too. Well, EBITDA is positive, being private I don’t have access to details beyond that.
What remains of a company I used to work for.
Website looks much more significant/professional than the actual location of the business. I guess someone is still making a living though.
did you short in time? are you claiming credit for the downfall?
Clearly, I was the most important employee, based on performance since I left.
My options expired worthless on my last day, the strike price was $49. The company shot up to $53 in the two weeks after I left, before the cratering started. If the bump had happened earlier, I would have got at least a small parting gift for the small amount of vested options (I was only with the company 20 months, so I didn’t have a huge amount vested).
I hope that you have paper copies. Take them out to the back yard and piss all over them. I had a company do the same to me. I tried to tell them but they just wouldn’t listen.
I accepted the buy-out. Two years later the company was toast.

Only after they confirmed there are no jewish people within earshot and have apologized 4 times for the holocaust and did the hokepokey.
I guess Trump calling NATO out on not spending enough to keep up their end is also proven to be accurate despite the propaganda machine’s attempts to demonize him for telling us the emperor was nakked..
China looking toward Taiwan and thinking maybe Japan might be doable too…
Trump’s right on a lot of things.
And that’s one of the reasons I think the never Trumpers hate hm the most. They would like to keep on believing bullshit and he harshes their mellow.
They need to lose about 90,000 soldiers to get down to the Treaty of Versailles limit of 100,000.

I’m not Russian to conclusions but it looks like he was Putin s on with the initial moves into Ukrainian territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine in a surprise television announcement at roughly 6:00 a.m. Moscow time, 10:00 p.m. Eastern. The Russian dictator described the unprovoked attack as a “special military operation for the de-Militarization and de-Nazification of Ukraine.”
Excellent use of the word “de-Nazification”.
Putin understands how to troll us.
He’s referring to the Azov Regiment, which is actually made up by of a bunch of Nazis. And not the tiki torch variety.

It does means that its inaccurate and even if that unit was full of “Nazis” so what?
Russia is killing innocent Ukrainians.
Youre own citation has the “Nazis” in that unit at 10%. We have more Nazis in the US Military according to wikipedia.
You make me laugh. But hey, keep doubling down just liek teh last few days when you doubled down on Russia violence being America and Ukraine’ fault.
It’s funny labeling Slavs as white supremacists and Nazis.
Christ you’re dull.
My response to Jimbo was to point out that the Russian propaganda in this case was tied to reality. The US government knew that the Azov Regiment had Neo-Nazis in the ranks and more importantly the leadership, when it included them in its support during the 2014 overthrow of Yanukovych.
These are the allies that we made when we involved ourselves in the internal politics of a foreign country, yet again.
And then our politicians (Biden, Pelosi, Kerry) immediately sent their kids over along with a number of other notables like former CIA agent Joseph Black to start collecting their extortion payments. The Ukraine was a private corruption playground for DC.
From the beginning, my argument has been that the entirety of the US’s involvement in Ukraine was a very bad idea because of the provocation to Russia, but also because it’s just another example of DC swooping in to fuck with a country and bleed some dollars out of it before leaving it high and dry to suffer the consequences. DC doesn’t give a shit about average Ukrainians, it only cares about servicing its own hubris and enriching itself at the expense of both Ukrainians and the American taxpayers.
I know this more complicated world frightens and confuses you, but when people like George Kennan who created the architecture of Soviet containment , including NATO, made predictions twenty years ago that our current foreign policies would lead to this outcome, it’s worth going back and studying how we actually got here instead of just being a useful idiot for the regime in DC.
DC doesn’t give a shit about average Ukrainians
DC doesn’t give a shit about average Americans either.
You can’t use a search engine? Or perhaps I expect too much.

I thought for sure you would blame America and Ukraine for Russia bombing innocent Ukrainians.
You dont disappoint.
I wanted to see your citations and whether you chose Russian propaganda source.
You don’t disappoint.
He didnt do that though. Dont be a dick.
He did. He got called on it. Violence in Ukraine is America’s and Ukraine’s fault. I can quote him.
I will gladly point that out. Dont be a dick trying to defend someone like that.
At this point LC, the only thing you’ve convinced any of this lot of is that you don’t actually understand your own love of the constitution, or what it’s founders envisioned, and more importantly, that you really shouldn’t have bought a share of that weed farm in eastern Ukraine. We all could have told you it was a bad investment, but here you are, praying for Uncle Sam to give you your land back.
If you folks choose to ignore what he is advocating, so be it. Im not letting Scruffy blame America and Ukraine for Russian murdering innocent Ukrainians.
Ok, be a dick then. Let me know how it works out for you.
claypoolresevoir:
Im sure you speak for everyone here.
I know that advocating against murder of Ukrainians by Russians and Scruffy’s apologist statements means that I must have some Ukrainian weed. Its safe for you.
The US Constitution has nothing to do with Ukraine and the fact that you need to defend Scruffy is very telling. I know Scruffy cant defend himself, so dog pile on.
Mock-star: I cited Scruffy’s comments. You trying to defend him is on you, not me.
Pretty shocking for people supposedly into Liberty, property rights, and non-intervention.
I would say Russia attacking Ukraine today violates all 3 at once. Feel free Correct me if I’m wrong.
LC, if you can refute Scruffy’s assertions, let’s see it.
LC, you deny the possibility of blowback and now you assert that intervention on behalf of supporting non-intervention is somehow still non-interventionist… Charlotte couldn’t even spin such a web of illogical and self defeating principles.
You’re familiarity and empathy for/with the region is not a good enough reason for the United States to enter into any kind of war with the second most advanced and well regulated military on the fucking planet… Are you really this daft???
Looks like we picked up some more Russian apologists today..nice.
I see Russia and their apologists here are still on the denazification justifications for murdering innocent Ukrainians. Ukrainian President is Jewish and had multiple family members die in the holocaust. He didnt disband the Azov battalion before the Russians started injuring and murdering innocent Ukrainians. Zelensky must not have a problem with “Nazis” being in the Ukrainian Army or knows those claims are russian propaganda.
Claypoolresevoir: youre out of your depth or you might want to read my comments.
I have said multiple times that I dont think America should send us troops to fight russians at this time.
America gave ukraine intel, weapons, and other noninterventionist help and Im glad we did.
You trying to insult just lets everyone know that you dont know what youre talking about and got schooled just like scruffy the russian apologist.
Russia is a paper tiger. Its clear now that Russias primary goal was to capture the Ukrainian govt and turn them into puppets or criminals that can be removed.
Its pretty obvious Russia wants to take Ukraine fairly intact, so they are not bombing every building.
Russia cant capture the Ukraine president and invasion day 2 is behind schedule.
Yeah, baby! Corpse Fuck This Thread! Nothing more satisfying than getting in the last word half a day after the argument ended!
‘… see Russia and their apologists here are still on the denazification justifications for murdering innocent Ukrainians.’
*Grins*
Indeed. You made the claim that a significant minority of a single battalion of the Ukrainian military were not at least sympathetic to what’s considered neo-nazi beliefs in todays terms. When shown a rebuttal to your denial, you make the claim that anybody who agrees with that idea is openly supporting the actions of the Russian government. As if anybody here would support overthrowing a sovereign government because they turned a blind eye to the military support of a few dozen jack offs.
My god, dude! You didn’t just shift the goalposts, you rested them upon your back, hauled them up a high hill Jesus style, then strapped them to a SpaceX rocket and launched them into orbit.
Yes. A few dozen assholes in the Ukraine military are open Nazis. Therefore I have no problem with Russia toppling a neighboring government.
Pull the other one, you myopic hack.
Says the bitch who posts garbage days later.
The Russian apologists around here got exposed. Y’all got checked in their ridiculous trolling.
Amateurs.
Neo-Nazi Russian Attack Unit Hints It’s Going Back Into Ukraine Undercover

That’s rich. How long until CNN starts singing his praises?
The stuttering by CNN talking heads is going to be epic.

After the liberation is complete, Russian will build an Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart to defend against future fascist incursions.
Sorta true but stretched and opportunistic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion
But they are Social-Nationalist. Isn’t that the opposite of National-Socialists?
Never stop Russian propaganda trying to justify violence against Ukraine when Russians and their apologists are on a roll.
Scruffy is literally doubling down today that Russia violence against Ukraine is the Azov Battalion’s fault.
If they were the “Tiki Torch” variety, Russia wouldn’t have to kill innocent people in Ukraine.
The Ukraine forced Russia to invade by not ceding territory and installing a puppet government.
Thats the official position of the Russian govt and some people on here.
Im curious how big the Scruffy dogpile defense fund will get.
Should I start a Kickstarter for Scruffy now or wait to see if he gets stimulus checks in Rubles?
Russian stock. I hear it is inexpensive right now.
Russian stock. I hear it is inexpensive right now.

You’re trying to out-Winston Winston, aren’t you?

Poor ji. He gets schooled on here so he hit and runs like the commies at unreason. I live rent free in his head.
Its funny as scruffy, ji and others double down against Liberty, rational thought, historical fact, and property rights.
One of the first things I did after Biden got elected was grossly expand my energy stock holdings. That has paid dividends both literally and figuratively. A few people I talked to said it was crazy and I simply replied, look at what happens to oil prices when someone unfriendly to oil starts setting policy. They always create an artificial scarcity, and prices go one way, up.
Smart man.
Until they get nationalized…. Like Nixon’s price controls.
You know what would be a good issue to run on right now?
Stopping the DOT from regulating that car makers install kill switches. I’d use the Candadian truckers as an example of why the govt should never be able to control your vehicle.
Absofuckinglutely
Between that and digital currencies that they can switch off, they’re aiming for total control
Death cult.
I disagree with Rand on some things, but she got that one right.
On a somewhat related note, there was a recent twitter roll-out that pointed out that if you read the appendix carefully, 1984 actually had a happy ending. It is clear that Ingsoc fell apart within a few years of the end of the story. The twatter didnt point it out, but that aligns pretty well with the fall of the eastern bloc. Orwell was really damn prescient.
Thanks everyone for the good review of last night’s article. I know our travel discussions tend to be involved so I added as much detail as I could. Hopefully it helped some of you who are making plans.
Thank you for the time and effort. It looks like a good place to get drunk.
Absolutely. Nice scenery, drinks included, short walk to your room, on a resort so the potential for trouble is limited.
It’s been added to the list of potential vacations now, and it made me dig out my passport to check the expiration date.
I guess Biden’s getting a bounce in the polls, but if this Russia thing lasts longer than a few weeks 40% is going to look like the good old days. And I’m sure China’s taking very careful notes.
That doddering old fool is being led into a mess that he doesn’t comprehend. I haven’t felt this way since 1983.
It’s not him. He’s just our Chernenko, barely breathing and stumbling around.
I read that as Cherenkov, and thought “He is moving faster than light?”
Time dilation.
According to the news the Ukrainian problem is why inflation started a year ago when Biden moved into the WH basement. Maybe they were on to something there then when you think of time manipulation…
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint – it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly… time-y wimey… stuff.”
Damn it… what a time to screw up a link
Who’s pulling the strings? That’s what freaks me the fuck out.
Cry Havoc, and let loose the shit-flinging howler monkeys of war
Just as diplomats at a last-minute United Nations Security Council meeting were pleading for peace, Russian fire began raining down on Ukraine.
On a haunting night, marked by an address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that felt like a eulogy for a democracy, decades of peace between nations on the European landmass ended with loud blasts in multiple Ukrainian cities. Within hours, livestream video showed a column of military vehicles streaming into the country from Belarus, where Russian troops had been massed. And thunderous explosions soon boomed over the capital Kyiv, as air raid sirens wailed, heralding a dangerous new crisis for a world already rocked by turmoil.
President Vladimir Putin’s long-feared assault will reverberate far beyond Russia and its democratic neighbor. It will bring consequences including painful spikes in already high gas prices for Americans struggling to navigate out of a once-in-a-century pandemic. And it may rekindle a Cold War that had once seemed a relic of history, creating a precarious new standoff between the US and Russia, the world’s largest nuclear powers. President Joe Biden will unveil the most punishing set of sanctions ever imposed against Russia when he addresses the nation later Thursday.
——-
Putin, in an unscheduled televised address dripping with false claims about genocide perpetrated against ethnic Russians in eastern regions of Ukraine, declared an operation to “demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.” His malfeasance recalled the dark maneuvers of dictators in the 1930s that pitched the world into war. His reference to Nazis raised the idea of political purges and suggested a mindset seemingly verging on paranoia.
It was the surreal moment when a leader traumatized and obsessed by the collapse of the Soviet Union, which he witnessed as a rank-and-file KGB officer in former East Germany, launched a battle to avenge forces of history and erase the freedoms and democracy of a people of an independent, sovereign nation.
I think they must keep this guy in a cage, and only let him out when they need some extra special hysterical shrieking.
Speaking about changing jobs, this asshole deserves this shit. But I still think it was a great move (for the rest of the world) that he left a working company to go grandstand at one that would give it to him good and hard.
War will solve all of our problems, foreign and domestic. Just ask my ex.
In a stunning legal opinion released publicly this week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared gender-affirming surgical procedures in children and prescribing drugs that affect puberty to be considered “child abuse,” a claim seen by many as an attack on transgender children.
1) And brave?
2) Shouldn’t be a thing and is absolutely child abuse.
Apart from the challenge to the US-led world order and what was once known as the free world, Americans will pay a price for this attack, though they are not, like the people of Ukraine, coming under fire.
Higher gas prices and inflation are certain. Oil raced above $100 a barrel almost as soon as the Russian assault started.

More broadly, Putin’s attack on Ukraine is another challenge to America’s global power and the concept of a free and democratic world that multiplies its influence. Liberal democracy now faces a fearsome challenge, not just from a revanchist Russia but from a rising, authoritarian super power in China. And unlike during the Cold War, when all parties stood firm in the face of a 40-year struggle against communism, America’s own democracy is reeling, threatened by a former President who tried to cling to power.
In a sign of the shattered fabric of US national unity, ex-President Donald Trump, fresh from declaring Putin a “genius” on Tuesday, quickly called into Fox and lied that a “rigged election” in the US saddled Americans with an illegitimate President and emboldened the Russian leader — over whom he himself always fawned.
Trump is to blame. I never saw that coming.
And- by the way, as long as we’re on the subject of “free and democratic” let’s hear your take on Canada.
Putin a genius? Maybe, maybe not but he’s head and shoulders above the capabilities of the current typical western political castrati.
That’s for sure. The people that tell us they are the reals smart ones are playing checkers and he is playing 5D chess with their idiot asses.
Plain old military invasion is not 5D chess.
No it is not, but I am pointing out he is at levels higher than our idiots whom made this conflict all but a given by fucking things up at every opportunity.
America’s own democracy is reeling, threatened by a former President who tried to cling to power.
Yes, yes. Drumpfler questioned an election and is clearly a nazi/fascist/autocrat who intended to rule by the mighty pen and phone, unlike Biden and co. who are ardent adherents to the constitution, limited government and individual freedom.
fresh from declaring Putin a “genius” on Tuesday
Showing respect for perceived intelligence is obviously treason.
Trump is also one to prod an idiot narcissist to keep them making mistakes.
Putin is making mistakes left and right.
Russia wont get to use Ukraine to further Putins fanatsies. Ukraine wont be the puppet they planned for.
Russia has and will continue to lose wealth by the day.
Putin just gave EU and smaller countries a huge reason to form military alliances. That makes them harder to pick off.
Putin wont have the legacy he wants. He will die a commie and criminal against humanity.
….

Our founders’ graves must be the ultimate renewable energy, because they’re spinning like a flywheel with shit like this.
Hint: this country was once proud of its non-interventionist attitude, and saw international meddling as something below a free republic.
Post-WWII we’ve been an empire. The republic died.
The Founders sent US warships to fight the Barbary Coast pirates.
The Founders warned of foreign entanglements but non-interventionism has its limits. Additionally, diplomacy, espionage, and other non-military means to maintain world peace are definitely in America’s interest.
The World would likely be a very different place if the USSR was never challenged non-militarily.
Do you know why they did that? You citing it as a counter-point to Trashy makes me feel like you don’t.
I think he’s going full neo-con, so don’t encourage him.
That’s good advice. I will heed it.
Poor ji. His education is so poor that he doesnt know the difference between me and a neocon.
Ji gets owned a lot on here so he follows me around. Hes not food at actual discussions. They scare him.
Its okay Mike S. I will explain my comment in more simple American English.
The founders never considered America noninterventionist as some of you folks think noninterventionist means.
The current definition of nonintervention describes the principle of avoiding getting involved in the affairs of other nations.
That leaves off military action against other countries.
The founders got very militarily interventionist in North African pirate nations. This was after diplomatically trying to get African pirates from pillaging our ships.
Let me know if you want me to explain in more simple terms.

Putin a genius? Maybe, maybe not but he’s head and shoulders above the capabilities of the current typical western political castrati.
Next you’ll try to tell me Putin looked at the political purges in our military forces as some sort of opportunity to be exploited.
Certainly that along with the added disaster of the Astan withdrawal showing our current situation manifested into reality sealing the deal.

Map of all the Russian attacks so far.
Yikes.
Belarus forces are also involved which would make Russia AND Belarus at war with Ukraine or Belarus “allowed” Russian forces to cross its border to attack Ukraine.
Either way, we will get scruffy in here all day saying how all this Russian military violence against innocent Ukrainians is America’s and Ukraine’s fault.
I suppose it’s better that we get involved militarily now so that there’s no dispute whether it’s partly our fault or not.
We share some of the blame too as does Western Europe and NATO. Things like this don’t happen without plenty of blame to go around although the lion’s share obviously goes to the Russians at this point.
National sovereignty either means something or it doesn’t.
Attacking another nation because they want to join an alliance violates international law.
Dont let Russia or their apologists like scruffy off the hook. Poor scruffy has been cursing me for two days now. Scruffy has a few defenders but they have laughable comments like scruffy.
Russia invading ukraine is americas and ukraines fault, says the apologists.
Ukraine is Nazi, says the apologists. Ukraine president zelensky is jewish and had multiple relatives die in the holocaust.
Supposedly they’ve hit everything from air defense to weapons depots. Shock and awe. Seems they’ve basically neutralized the Ukrainian military overnight. In fact, I’m wondering where the Ukrainian military is in all this. Where’s the damned air force?
They have images of downed Russian helos and planes.
If I was the Ukrainian military, I would lie in wait for most of those 200k Russian troops to get inside Ukraine and then kill them all. Then scalp them and send Putin their scalps.
It appears Ukrainian military forces are going to pick their points of defense not defend everything.
The Russians will control the outgoing media soon. I have seen average Ukrainians using their cell phones to film Russian military forces. I guess cell towers are still up and running.
Wow, not just in the disputed territories–way to the west as well, and even in the Capital. That’s like Mexico trying to annex part of Arizona and dropping bombs in D.C.
There is one map showing attack locations and 4 Ukrainian nuclear power plants, including Chernobyl.
Look out World, Russia wants to take over Chernobyl and operate it again.
And Biolabs, don’t forget those,
Any hits on the French Embassy?
Watching the France24 English live stream. Some joker in the comments – 3:00 GMT – Russia invades Ukraine… 3:01 GMT – France surrenders…
They surrendered preemptively?
If I were an evil genius, bent on world domination, instead of coercively vaccinating my armies against the WuPlague (or kicking them out if they decline), I’d send in a bunch of “infected” hookers to have a giant plague party and get it over with. You might lose a few good men, but the rest would have natural resistance, which might come in handy somewhere down the road.
The people at CNN have to be smiling ear to ear this morning. They first made their name covering a war, and at their darkest hour those sweet views and clicks are coming back.
Hot water for Hunter Biden is reaching a boiling point
*yawn*
Yep, suuuuuure it is.
It is just getting up to his preferred hot tub temperature.
I assumed he dips his balls in hot wax.
Well, yeesh. Two days of work left on my contract. A total of 5 hours class time combined.
Haven’t started packing yet, but I live small and just clothes and things in two bags of luggage, along with my computer bag. Starting my legal battle with my boss to get money that I am legally entitled to. Got an airbnb for two weeks starting March 2 here in Daejeon. Legal and medical stuff to take care of. And also just rest and relaxation. And furthering my work on becoming gainfully employed in the US. Ziprecruiter wants to keep offering me teaching gigs, which I would do, but I have also applied to editing gigs, which is where I really want to be.
It’s so strange that going BACK to my place-of-birth feels like such an Indiana Jones adventure. Need to pack up my life and get on with it. Just errands to run, first. And those 5 teaching hours. Most of which will just be games and me no-longer giving a shit about following the books.
It certainly is interesting, but I will say that I haven’t had any adverse stress reaction to it at all, yet. I’m sure I will. But That Moment hasn’t hit me (yet). Time to relocate my life once again. It’s why I live so small. My friend just moved back Tuesday and she had like six HUGE bits of luggage and boxes. I purposefully don’t live that way. Too much hassle. Will land in Chicago and probably take a few days there to chill and heavily stack my weed supply. It’s where my bro gets his and seems easy enough to get it to Indy.
Gonna be weird starting over in a New Place where I lived for 20 years and can speak the language and know the law. (Not that it always is respected, but you know what I mean.) Meeting with a lawyer on Monday to talk about my fucking boss’ illegal actions to fuck me over for several thousand dollars. My first legal battle. And normally, it’s like “Oh, you’ve never played basketball! Come out to the court with your elementary friends and have fun!” This is more like “Oh, you’ve never played basketball! Get on the court and go 1-on-1 with Jordan!” It’s…difficult.
I’ll be just fine. Just in the mode of counting down the time I have left. First with work, then with my stay and my flight, and then the restart button back in Indiana. I may not even stay there for too long. Remote work would be nice. Working someplace else is just A-OK. Going back “home,” but into the Unknown. Very curious.
Sorry for the odd rant. Needed to get that typed out and off my chest.
Have you considered technical writing, EFE? There are assloads & fucktons of tech writer jobs all over the place.
Anecdotal – I did a very brief contract gig as a tech writer (I had NO qualifications other than good English skills and good web & MS Word/Google Docs skills) back in the early ‘aughts. To this day, the vast majority of recruiters contact me about tech writer jobs.
HA! I recently applied to InformaTech. They had me do a timed assessment…on CYBERSECURITY! Which I know dick about. I was so fucking happy…that I CHEATED! I looked everything up because I don’t know anything. But I passed! I have a ziprecruider bade for CyberSecurity now! My bro is in the programming biz and I talked to him about it afterwards.
Hey, it shows that I’m resourceful and can do research on a deadline and figure shit (that I know nothing about) out and get it done. I was teenager-giddy about my cheating being successful.
I will write/edit anything. Have and will. That’s definitely what I want to be doing. I would also be thrilled to hook up (not that way…) with the LP folk I have worked with in Indiana and would be thrilled to write about shit that I’m passionate about. But I’ll do the work for anyone that thinks my work is worthy of employment. I’d also work as a janitor or whatever. Biggest concern, really, is getting a car and transport/independence in a city that doesn’t have lots of it.
Any references or contacts that you have would be lovely. My selling point that I’ve been using: I write and edit and have created (and performed) curriculum to non-native speakers from ages 2.5-17. I know how to gauge an audience (especially international ones) and get the best reaction, their interest and desire, out of whomever I’m writing/performing for. There’s a market for that. It’s not easy and I have 12+ years of experience doing it. It’s honed. That’s always the (I hate using this word) unique ability that I have that is hard to fake and harder to be confident with and succeed at doing. I can sell that.
That’s the game plan I’ve got moving forward. I’ve got a skill. If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
You should get on Indeed as well as Zip Recruiter. But seriously, my tech writing experience was a fluke and very brief, but they’re so hard up for people with good English and documentation skills, they’ll even take someone like me whose experience is almost nil and worked in the field for less than a year more than 15 years ago.
As pointed out a million times, I am a quasi-Fed, so I can send you some stuff from the company I work for, but it’s all Fed work (most of it will be remote). I’ll send you a PM in the forum.
I will absolutely get on Indeed. Thanks for the insight. If all they need is English/documentation skills, I can take that all day, every day.
My internet at home has been turned off because I’m leaving so soon. Is it possible to email me whatever stuff you have?
mathews . evang AT gmail
Seriously, thank you. Anything that I can add to my possibility-list right now is HUGE. And that is absolutely the type of work that I want to be doing, and with my bro as a 20+year pro, I can get direct insight into anything that I can’t research outright on my own. He’s very successful at his programming/business-owning side of the tech world. Such a perfect inside asset to have directly on my team for whatever help that I need. He’s a fantastic brother. He’s always there for me.
He may be more successful than me. But I’m 3 inches taller….(Dad is 6’2″, Mom 4’10”. He’s 5’4″ and I’m 5’7″. I’m hilariously the second tallest Clan member.)
? sent you an email from my fake email address
YOU. ARE. AWESOME.
Before you leave, I’d make a couple of quick stops at any companies that look like they may operations in the US. Explain your situation and ask if they’re looking for multilingual people in the US.
That’s a fantastic idea, but sadly I’m not multilingual. I can read Korean and can certainly get by in the world here. My ‘Teacher Korean’ is better than most, but I am not at all capable of speaking in Korean sentences. I’ve said before: I focus on what comes up and what I need. Not fluency.
Good luck in your new adventure, after a few months you may reconsider your decision. Don’t close the door completely.
Doors are still open. Have contacts here and can always return. No burned bridged. Yet.
Speaking of strafing runs…
That was a close one.

Do cats fart? I think my kitten just did,
/Ghaa!
Yes. They aren’t as bad as dog farts.
He stank the joint up pretty good, I really wasn’t sure,
thanks! I think 😉
They are worse but less copious.
I hope so, all my cats have been females until Otis, the little shit.
Volume is likely a major factor. Dog farts have range.
Airborne.
Breaking: @mchancecnn with Russian forces at the Antonov airport about 15 miles outside of Kyiv. “These troops you can see over here, they are Russian airborne forces. They have taken this airport”
Amazing defense the Ukraine put up.
About as much as they did the first time around or Georgia did. Russia 3-0.
Georgia actually did very well until they literally ran out of ammo. Killed the Russian commanding general, used the Hawk missiles we gave them to shoot down a bunch of Russian planes… but they shot out their supplies and 1/3rd of their army was in Iraq, oopsie.
Yup, its all over. Your sources must be better than the livestreams I am watching.
Some Ukrainian lady confronted a Russian armored unit and told them to carry sunflower in their pockets when they die in Ukraine.
Looks like they’ve decided to take the in for a penny in for a pound route.
Hopefully things will be back to normal when Ukraine finishes being conquered tomorrow.
OK, I pay for Gold membership on FlightRadar24, and they have me in a waiting room to get on their site. That’s fucking bullshit.
At least the app works. But I’m-a see if they’ll give me some $ for my loss of paid service.
Bitched about it upthread. Apparently their site overloaded thanks to a spike in traffic related to Ukraine.
I get that, but they should figure out a way to prioritize logged in paid members. I have a feeling I’m waiting in line behind the hoi polloi 😉
You mean our Air Force and DoD ? I think FlightRadar may be their best intel site.
I have an enterprise account on FlightAware. There’s no traffic depicted over Ukraine and a large swath of Russia. I’m imagining there might be a DDoS attack on ADS-B feeder stations going on there? Blocking traffic to the FlightAware servers from that area of the world?
Allegedly
https://www.airlineratings.com/news/32000-watching-us-spyplane-flightradar24/
If a UAV is showing up on FR24, the US wants it known.
There has been very little air traffic over Ukraine for several years now (only direct inbounds – overflights between Europe & Asia have avoided Ukraine since the Malaysian flight was shot down). I am curious about air traffic into/out of and over Russia and Belarus, though. On the app, there are still flights in/out of Moscow.
I wonder where the AN225 is right now?
Looks like the 225 was in north central Ukraine as of Feb 5 ?
Today, in treating the symptoms and not the disease
The spike in crime and deadly incidents in the New York City subway system, like the death of Michelle Go last month when she was pushed onto the train tracks at the Times Square subway station by a mentally Ill homeless man, has the MTA putting in place new safety measures.
The MTA is looking to install platform barriers between the platform and the tracks to prevent people from falling or being pushed onto the tracks. The technology has existed for a long time and is already used on the JFK Air Train.
I assume there will be a blizzard of injunction filings from homeless advocates.

I think that was Marcus Aurelius, from a few millenia ago,
I’ve seen it attributed to Plato, too, which I’m pretty sure is wrong. Santayana actually wrote it, whether he coined the term or not. I’ve read Aurelius’ Meditations and don’t remember it being in there, but it’s been some time since I went through it.
Write a strongly worded letter.
Under the present circumstances, I must change my appeal:
President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia.
This conflict must stop now.
I’d say it’s about time to dissolve the UN and raze the building. Or make it a Trump hotel.
Of course we expect the UN to do nothing.
I’m still a little surprised (but only a little) at the gutlessness of Europe. The EU is overall richer than the United States, this is in their sphere, and they have done absolutely nothing. In fact, the U.S. was the only entity that seemed even concerned about Russia’s imminent invasion.
These allies suck ass. Can we just jettison them and go home?
“he U.S. was the only entity that seemed even concerned”
Question answered, it’s all wag the dog now,
Yeah — yet another reason to have dissolved NATO in the early ’90s – besides getting an actual peace dividend of shutting down the various bases and discouraging the War Hawks from feeling like we need to go poking every hornet’s nest in the world, having Europe actually have to care about their own damn defense again would be a nice change of pace.
Slightly off-topic, but reading a relatively old Star Trek novel to lighten my mood and in the prologue they mention that the authors were previously writing some Civil War tomes with the comment “And just think of how the 20th Century would have been different without America on the world stage” or some such.
And yeah — thinking about a world where Wilson couldn’t screw around with things and World War One probably would have ground to a halt in a stalemate, leaving a weakened but still potent Imperial Germany to balance (or more likely get wrapped up in fighting) Red Russia for a couple of decades instead of building up to WW2 sure seems better from this side of the Atlantic. I suspect the French and British would have been better off as well, setting aside of course that avoiding WW1 in the first place would have been better — but that one seems more like it was going to happen somehow…
I would simply propose the condition that the EU — who is overall wealthier than us and constantly touting their enlightenment — actually spend more than us and become the leader of NATO. I would be willing to help them. But this is their sphere and they need to take ownership.
Then when this failed we could leave NATO justifiably.

Target will no longer require its staff and shoppers to wear masks inside its store as a matter of corporate policy.
The popular retailer updated its coronavirus dashboard Monday, where it now says that it will not ask shoppers or employees to wear masks unless it must comply with local regulations. Target confirmed to NBC News that the new policy went into effect on Monday.
Though masks are no longer a requirement, Target said in a statement that it will continue to encourage social distancing and regular disinfection protocols within its locations.
Fuck Target and their mask Nazi idiocy. I haven’t been in a Target store in two years, and i don’t plan to stop not going.
I’ve been going for a year and never worn a mask. This is Texas, though, so maybe they are not allowed to require one.
It has been long enough that I don’t recall when they dropped their mandate here. The last mandate I encountered was at a public school before Youngkin freed us.
Good morning, Sloop!
Fuck this.
That is all.
Oh, and thanks for the great songs. Truly gems.
I know we like to be glib around here, but my beautiful little daughter was standing in the kitchen upset this morning and I flashed to a vision of her standing in a street crying, surrounded by a pile of burned rubble, and I almost lost it.
Regardless of who caused what anywhere…hug your kids, family, whoever, and tell them you love them.
The picture of the Yemeni baby got an Old Grandpa…
Thanks man. That’s a great message for this morning. This is the most uncertainty I’ve felt about the future in my adult life. All we can do is take care of the things we can control and see what the forces beyond us decide to do. Here’s hoping cooler heads can prevail sooner rather than later. BTW, I know I’m a relatively new guy, but I’m really enjoying this little community tucked in the deepest glibbest corner of the web. You crazy people make for some good conversation.

We only had a few at the time, and we were tired of saving your Euro asses again,
And when they come for you, who’s going to help you? Germany?
The Poles. They knew this was coming and have been arming for some time now.
I’ve wondered occasionally what would have happened if we had gone after the Soviets at the end of WWII, instead of ceding them an Eastern European empire. Without Western support, I don’t know how long they could have lasted, but US domestic support for an extended European war would have been weak.
I strongly suspect you’d have to go further back and clean the USSR agents / Commies out of FDRs administrations. Those whispers in his ears / policy decisions were a big reason for giving up Eastern Europe at Yalta, and going to war over something we’d already agreed to certainly seems like it would lack any and all popular support.
Overall i blame ypu people. Should ev nuked the bastards in 45
Hindsight is 20/20.
I want to thank all of you for putting up with my bullshit for the last few years. It sounds lame but you folk have helped me through some very trying times and it is very much appreciated. That is all.
Cheers Buddy!
Tribulations perhaps, but never bullshit.
🙂
You’re alright, Festus.
Not even in the top-10 on the “putting up with” list.
The door is always open, Festus…
If it comes to it man, I hope that you’re able to get across the border and we can hoist a pint together.
“a” pint?
I am in for many, many.
Same here, if by chance it’s easier to get out via the Yukon.
I live very close to the Manitoba/NoDak border. There’s you random, for no reason what-so-ever, fun fact of the day.

Kamala has now officially made a statement in her capacity as point person for the Ukraine crisis:
“Hey guys, come on, I mean, like this is really war now that we’re talking about. Totally. It’s like a big deal. And by continuing our perseverance in doing the things we have been doing, to effectively deal with this major issue, we just have to keep doing what we have been accomplishing by persevering and not giving in to Putin. While the previous administration was content to appease Putin, we will endeavor in our sanctions, knowing that it is our endeavoring that will ultimately prevail by staying the course, of our effective strategies. These strategies, along with our tactics, continuing to endeavor to persevere to hold strong with the tactics, effective tactics, have lead us to believe these strategies our sound.”
“endeavor to persevere”
/So we went to War.
Hopefully these bumbling idiots are cognizant enough to keep up with their sanctions bullshit and keep our military the fuck out of this.
Keeping our military out of anything has not been our forte historically. The evil fucks that really wanted bloodshed in Iraq and Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East were beside themselves hoping for this too. They’re still in charge. I’m trying not to be nihilistic, but the people running the empire have given me very little reason not to be. Our weapons stockpiles were getting a little too high, we can’t just let them go to waste.
Hey now, that sounds like her COVID speech – now is the time to keep doing what we’ve been doing.
“Right-wing doesn’t love Putin just because he is an authoritarian, tyrannical leader, they love him because he’s a WHITE authoritarian leader. Race has become more important than even nationality. They’ve turned on democracy and now even America, in favor of a white warlord.”

These people are nuts.
The second one is hilarious.
I think a lot of people admire Putin because he is a smart serious person who does what he believes is in the best interest of his country. We’ve had clowns and puppets in charge for a long time now.
who does what he believes is in the best interest of his country
Only nazi/fascists/authoritarians/dictators/etc. do what is in the interests of their countries. Real democracy and freedom involves selling out your people to the highest bidder.
It’s the nationalist part of National Socialism, and the current Russian government that they hate.
Which is hilarious since Marxist or Democratic Socialism still involves the blind worship of the state that leads to the unmitigated bloodshed of any and all dissenters. It’s a distinction without a meaningful difference. Absolute evil rains supreme – unchallenged and unaccountable until it collapses under the weight of it’s own contradictions and takes even more bodies with it during the collapse and uncertainty that follows. Statism is the disease that needs to be cured. But how to take down the state without becoming one?
Or rigging elections in a ‘democracy’ so the right person gets in .
The right-wing doesn’t love Putin. But I suspect the right-wing respects competence.
These people are nuts.
Cenk has always been a dishonest and/or retarded cunte. Idk who that other chick is but I am pretty sure race is not the issue. It only is to the left as a divide/conquer tactic.
As I said yesterday, there people cannot think past personalities. You can’t express respect for a competent adversary without completely supporting everything they do, in their minds. Its just part of being a Principals, not Principles, person.
What is the dog whistle for Praise Putin?
Ask a Borzoi doge.
Well, with P being the 16th letter of the alphabet, that means it’s just a new variant of 88 = HH = Heil you know who.
I’m convinced, one can’t argue against the numerology.
I know it’s not a car horn since that’s the dog whistle for Hitler.
Idi Amin concurs.

Persecution
The New York Police Department arrested three union organizers at Amazon’s JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island on Wednesday.
Among those arrested was Chris Smalls, a former worker and president of the Amazon Labor Union. The ALU successfully petitioned the National Labor Relations Board for a union election at JFK8 last week. The election is due to be held between March 25 and March 30.
Smalls told Reuters he had come to the warehouse to give out food to workers in the break room.
Derrick Palmer, an ALU organizer and employee who witnessed the arrests, told Vice an Amazon general manager said they were calling the police after organizers brought grilled chicken and pasta to workers in the break room.
“I think it started off as a scare tactic that completely went off the rails,” Connor Spence, another ALU organizer and employee, told Bloomberg.
An Amazon spokesperson told Reuters and Bloomberg Amazon had called the police because Smalls has “repeatedly trespassed” on JFK8.
“Smalls — who is not employed by Amazon — has repeatedly trespassed despite multiple warnings. Today, when police officers asked Mr. Smalls to leave, he instead chose to escalate the situation and the police made their own decision on how to respond,” spokesperson Kelly Nantel told Bloomberg.
The man’s a saint, selflessly bringing food and succor to Amazon’s slave laborers.
Hopefully these bumbling idiots are cognizant enough to keep up with their sanctions bullshit and keep our military the fuck out of this.
I think the tripwires are already in place. It’s just a matter of time. I honestly don’t think there is anybody in this administration smart enough to realize they’re fucking around with a Big League opponent.
Eh, they’re not that all that amazing. Russia’s economy is half the size of Texas’s. If Europe cared enough to invest in a military, they could wipe Russia off the map all by themselves.
Italy alone is about as rich as Russia.
Italy is as rich as Russia?
Correct. I think a little richer.
They’re ranked about the same for total GDP; on a per-person basis, Italians are about twice as wealthy as Russians (lots more Russian bodies). In contrast, many of the economic “indicators of health” of Russia look better than Italy’s (public debt, unemployment rate, the usual blah blah blah).
Yeah, but those things are really a symptom of wealth. If you have lots of public debt and unemployed people, you’re probably a rich Western country.
What does Italy produce that makes them so much money?
Olives and Catholicism.
I think the U.S. is approximately 873x more Catholic than Italy these days.
They sell 3 Ferraris a year.
Hot-headed women
What does Italy produce that makes them so much money?
D00d, have you tried their pasta and their hazelnut spreads? They’re the bomb. To die for.
(What? Too soon?)
I think that’s fine. You might want to steer clear of Chicken Kiev jokes though.
So much this. Russia has a big military, probably funded basically by oil exports. For an extended campaign, that’s a house of cards. They simply do not have the economic base to extend an empire all that far, especially if their conquests engage in much in the way of resistance, before and after the initial invasion. In a serious war, I would expect Russia’s oil infrastructure to be targetted, which will gut their economy. Russia also has suffered from a declining birth rate for decades – at some point, the babushkas are going to tire of the body bags filled with their very limited supply of sons and grandsons.
Russia has ever been a regional power. Their lunge at global power status in the Cold War met the predictable end of empires – colonies are typically wasting assets, at least after the initial looting. You can’t build an empire on wasting assets.
Yes, a regional power (except for the nukes) – and the Ukraine is their region.
Their army is big, and vastly improved over the last two decades – while western armies have been busy going woke. This is a big league first world military. Not unbeatable, but the cost would be absolutely shocking. There’s a chance Turkey comes in on the Russian side, that NATO completely disintegrates, China takes advantage, and we lose a big chunk of our surface navy.
Scary to see people that incompetent handling a situation this dangerous.
Russia cant defeat ukraine by Day 2. Russia is a paper tiger and this murder spree by Russia will weaken it more.
My literal, no shit, best friend is 4 miles from the border of Ukraine in what was farmers field 3 weeks ago and is now a full on US military base. He called me last night scared out of his mind. This is the beginning of WW3.
yikes. what country?
He’s US army.
I’m thinkin’ Poland. {shrug}
I don’t think it’s the beginning of WW3, but I’ve been wrong before.
Periodically, I drive past the air force boneyard here in Tucson. Among many other planes, it has a pile of mothballed Warthogs. I was reminded of this watching footage of Russian armored columns in Ukraine. Warthogs are purpose built to stop . . . Russian armored columns. And we have way more than we need.
I’ve been saying for years we should have been selling them to countries concerned about Russian aggression. All I could think of when I saw those armored columns was how different this might be going if we had sold Ukraine a couple dozen Warthogs a few years ago. They are, of course, vulnerable to true fighters (technically, a Warthog is a fighter), so maybe it would just mean a couple dozen piles of smoking Warthog wreckage.
Hakuna Matata
Getting air superiority on the Russian / Ukrainian border would not be easy or cheap. Might not actually be possible.
The jets alone are not enough.
1) The gun requires very specialized ammunition. Depleted Uranium is not easy to come by.
2) The Warthog is an ineffective death trap if you don’t have air superiority. Consider how the English annihilated Stukas in the Battle of Britain despite the fact that the German fighters were able to maintain Air Parity over English territory during much of the battle.
Hi All, news from Chinada!
Thank you for all your comments on Tuesday’s morning post. The little fuck weaseled out as he knew he was going to lose the vote in the Senate. Many saw it as a victory, I don’t. He just put the Emergency Acts in his back pocket, ready to get it out anytime he feels threaten again, and he took away the option from the Senate to say ”enough is enough”.
The convoy people are digging into their trenches. We’re far from done yet. If it started about silly mandates it’s now about getting rid of those encroachments on our civil liberties and making sure that that shit never happens again.
I like the idea of WV. Not too far south that I have to learn to deal with alligators in my house, yet a very plausibly state where we will be left alone. And the kids already know all the lyrics to Country Home !
Festus ; we leave no man behind. I don’t care if I have to travel all across the country; yet I know I won’t have to. We’ve got our freedom loving people all across Canada ready to help. You’re not alone.
I’m sorry if I sound overly-dramatic, but I was technically an enemy of the state until yesterday afternoon, and I don’t trust Trudeau’s peace offer.
He just put the Emergency Acts in his back pocket, ready to get it out anytime he feels threaten again, and he took away the option from the Senate to say ”enough is enough”.
Sadly all too true.
You’re fighting the good fight up there.
I actually thought that was rather shrewd for him to withdraw it himself. Maybe I wasn’t giving him enough credit.
“I like the idea of WV. Not too far south that I have to learn to deal with alligators in my house, yet a very plausibly state where we will be left alone. And the kids already know all the lyrics to Country Home !”
Alligators down south aren’t any more of threat than bears in WV, and this way your kids can learn the lyrics to Molly Hatchet songs 🙂

Biden’s Historic Blunder and Putin’s Loss of Patience
All they had to do was two things they were willing to do.
Exactly
All anyone has to do is look at a map to understand why Russia was so adamant about the Ukraine not being in NATO. It would be like Mexico joining the Warsaw PACT, maybe worse given how close the border is to Moscow and how it cuts into south-east Russia.
You must be a Russian stooge for noticing that.
I think as sort of a Missouri Compromise, Ukraine should’ve joined NATO and Mexico should’ve joined the Warsaw Pact. Totally fair.
Scruffy knows russian stooges. Scruffy just to know who will take Rubles now.
Russia apologist scruffy still peddling thats is America and ukraines fault for russia having to murder innocent ukrainians.
Russia is less secure now than if Ukraine was admitted into NATO.
Never stop idiot russians from making mistakes.
Remember when Russia built a military base in Venezuela and has a defense agreement?
Drake doesnt.
Were up to about 5 russian apologists on here. Lets see how many more come out of the wood work tomorrow, day 2 of Putins orders to murder innocent Ukrainians.
I don’t have any idea if fiscally / materially they could have maintained them — but if I were Ukranian I would sure be regretting my country giving up its nukes right about now.
And I know… blah, blah blah proliferation… but I seriously can’t blame any country for wanting to get them so they won’t be screwed around with in the current world order. And given President Poopy Pants, Japan should seriously be assembling them on the sly right about now.
Taiwan should be doing the same.
I read several years ago that Japan could probably have functioning nukes in less than a year, once they set their mind to it. I would hope that they have the road map laid out for it, being so close to China and all.
Being the only country that was attacked by nukes, I assume they have them.
Also Israel since the Manhattan Project was bunch of Jews.
Bitch was askin’ for it!
“JUST IN: Ukrainian president says Russian forces are trying to seize Chernobyl nuclear plant”
https://twitter.com/axios/status/1496872439019712518
But why?
It’s still in operation.
Trying to control the energy infrastructure in the country you are invading is pretty much standard. Chernobyl has at least two operating reactors still, I think. also, it was part of a large “energy center” which included large substations and it was/is a hub for power transmission lines.
I was unaware.
Yeah, when did that happen. Who’s working at them since I understand it’s still incredibly radioactive?
They were decommissioned in stages (1991, 1996 and 2000) after the disaster at #4. I seem to recall that they still have skeleton crews who monitor their cores.
Smalls was released later on Wednesday, tweeting at 9:28 p.m. Eastern time: “I’m free ‼️ and I’m not stopping unionize @amazon.”
Smalls told Reuters shortly after 10 p.m. he was heading back to the warehouse.
“I’m going to bring more food for the night shift,” he said.
He’s a Hero of the Revolution.
Biden will probably invite him to the White House for smoochies.
Thanks a lot for that flashback to yesterday’s Joemala.

RUSSIAN soldiers began bombarding Ukraine yesterday — with Tinder messages looking for love.
Ukrainian women in second city Kharkiv — just 20 miles from tyrannical Vladimir Putin’s vast invasion force — have been stunned by a salvo of admirers in uniform.
The Sun is just asking for it.
“We’re coming for your women” is a time-tested tactic for weakening the resolve of your opponents.
How does this not end with the headline “Rash of Russian Soldiers Getting Throats Slit While They Sleep.”
Ukrainian girls be like “Sounds like you had hard day on firing squad taking out my whole extended family. Why don’t you come in for nightcap?”
Now THIS is how you really do conquering….

Why do they get such bad mileage?

stop and go traffic — lots of time idling
This is the recipe for bad mileage.
Curse you!
Start and stop, lots of idling?
Im not much of a car guy, but Im going to bet it was lots of idling plus start/stop traffic.
Too soon ?
It’s never too soon for an unnecessary and/or sarcastic reply.
I’m no expert, but I’ve heard from a few people it’s all the start/stop driving.
You may be on to something!
Did anyone mention that it might be all the starting and stopping?
Not yet, maybe someday
Hmm. Sounds like they should look at hybrids.
