It’s all there.
Also a lot of “if you think Russia invading the Ukraine is bad you have to sign up for the military and go fix it - otherwise you can’t criticize”
It's Putin's fault.
The problem is what to do about the world's dictators? The current approach seems to be deter, contain, and hope they change. If they don't have nukes or friends with nukes, invading also an option.

For example Summit posted about an attack on Odessa but it looks like that was Ochakiv instead.
Not sure I want to know who else then.Quote:

Should we go through where the line is drawn again? [/sarcasm, of course there is no line, it's whatever the mods feel like on a given day]
I like that for whatever reason this particular event is deemed worthy of PR discussion, but equally or more important political discussions can't be seen. PROTECT THE MAGS, MODS! DO YOUR JOB AND MOVE THIS SHIT!! Please help the helpless who can't help clicking on things they don't want to see. Dude, totally harshing my stoke, brah.
So
If you move a thread named Ukraine into polyass when there is already one there, will it glitch the matrix and crash the server?

Just putting this out there. Latest from BBC.

Should finally eliminate poliass and move everything back into here. Will be worth it just to watch the bro/brah crowd's heads explode when they're subject to seeing thread titles they object to. (Weird how that group of people gets to dictate the rules, but that's what two or three mods decided the 'rules' should be, so...more mass suckage here.)
Or perhaps they could just move it to the ECRC thread you moron.
you wouldnt know stoke if it bitched slapped you across the faceQuote:

Putin's afraid of losing power. His inner circle of supporters has shrunk markedly since 2014. Resembles Iran's government, if that can be called a "government".Quote:

I'm stocking up on Russian vodka and caviar just in case.
And titanium.
do you post your front of the boot skiing radness on a poliassfuck site?
cause it aint here bro
are you still butthurt cause neither the front of them boots nor the back couldnt make it up fantasy ridge?
ill take you boots up for you next time
I don’t see what the confusion is all about. Nobody was aggressive towards Russia. Any sane person could see that if Putin didn’t start a war, the borders would stay right where they’ve been since the dissolution of the USSR. Ukraine has never been a military threat to Russia in any meaningful way. Putin is a maniac with a big military and nukes. He’s no different mentally than Saddam, just better armed. He likes killing people and enriching himself. As long as he can do that and stay alive and rich, he will continue doing it. It’s not complicated. The only way this doesn’t get a lot worse is if some element of the Russian government recognizes that and takes him out or if he drops dead of a heart attack or a stroke or something.
To elaborate a bit, Biden's presidency has been really really bad up to this point. To be fair, he's been up against a very difficult set of circumstances, but so far he's fumbled the ball pretty badly. Credit it where it's due though, US intelligence called this one pretty darn well and Biden looks very good because of it. The reason I hate it is because I'm strongly anti-war and I think the United States wastes entirely too much money on instruments of destruction. Putin can be bad and Biden can be a shitty corporatist simultaneously. And for the record, I lean strongly to the left.Quote:

Especially these days when 30-40% of the country is beyond reach thanks to the orange demagogue and his Russian partners. I don't personally have anything to offer in terms of what could be done better to help Ukraine right now (I mean things that the U.S. could realistically control), but it is kind of chilling to see all those people sheltering in subway stations, etc.Quote:

Um, what? Mr. "I can reach across the aisle" has been cucked by his own party and hasn't passed a single piece of major legislation. Orange man bad, but decades of Neoliberalism created the opportunity for him to get into office.Quote:

Yeah, West is the real deal when it comes to ski racing, and for a hill that size it actually skis surprisingly well. Not a place I'd recommend to travel to (with Gore and S VT close by), although they do have a magic carpet and tubing hill, so both SFB and Timberridge could be well taken care of.
You give them an Olympics, duh.Quote:

Wait, we got people here saying Biden is doing a good job? Not a good job compared to Trump because my cat could pull that off but an actual good job. Fucking hell you guys are cucks for the Dems.

It's hard to write huge bills when you need a nap every two hours. But as president, he does get to call the shots for his own party. Agenda comes down from the top.Quote:
