Yeah, only the insane and the career criminal, which may be redundant, are going to stand behind this thing for as long as it will take for him to get to whatever stasis he thinks he can achieve. The Chechens were one thing, painted as non Russian southern Islamic nut jobs, but to convince Russians to essentially destroy a country that includes people just like them is a bridge too far. He really screwed up. But this is going to be with us for a long time. It's not going to be pretty.Quote:

This was Putin shaking Shell down BTW, holding their 30 years of capital investment in Russian oil hostage. Gangster Rules
Agreed. Everyone should watch this.Quote:

Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton: “In a second Trump term, I think he may well have withdrawn from NATO. And I think [Russian President Vladimir] Putin was waiting for that.”
I alone can fix it.Quote:

Accounts of battlefield bravery have long inspired us. But the bravery of leaders of nations is often only witnessed in history or cinema—until now. I watch daily in awe at the monumental courage and leadership of
@ZelenskyyUa. God bless him and instill within us such character.
This was plain to see except those under the spell.Quote:

Putin never heard a non-complimentary word. "I believe him" and putting Putin's word over that of our Generals and intelligence. Sanctions...gone or reduced. Brought at his behest back into the G summit.
All for free. No concessions. No strategic relevant trade deals, arms reduction. Or anything. We. Got. Nothing.
It is simply amazing that we've been able to salve our long standing diplomatic relationships since... I doubt the trust has restored.
I thought we had heard the last of Bolton. I couldn’t believe they dug that fucker up and put him in front of a cameraQuote:

The US elected Trump for FFS. There are a lot of stupid, gullible, desperate, lost people in the US and Russia is no different; worse?Quote:

And yes, Putin is definitely gay (NTTAWWT), I agree.

I know it was all a hoax and whatnot, but it's crazy that while Trump's 2016 campaign manager was working for free he was also a highly paid pro-Kremlin consultant working on a plan to carve up Ukraine. Crazier still that same campaign manager was later caught up in a criminal investigation, agreed to cooperate, only to later back out, and was then pardoned by the President for his crimes.
That was a SAW lighting up the car bro, from a couple hundred yards away or more. With maybe some AK-12 when they ran out the old "Journalist" flag...Quote:

My fear is that Putin will go all Hama/Grozny on the civilian populace when asymmetric warfare begins. Which is dumb in the long run but I don’t think he’s thinking long term or rationally.
This thread continues to drift to polly ass and discussion of Trump. First, some of the stuff said about NATO is certainly true…I don’t know what the exact formula should be, but you can’t look at the defense budgets of the NATO members and not come to the conclusion that the US has carried more of the burden for many decades then it should. The other members have without a doubt taken advantage.Quote:

The Trump supports are obviously very guilty of this and of hiding from reality…but take a look at some of the post here and “news” lately. Listen to Biden’s state of the union….he literally claims the country is in a great place since he became president and people just can’t see it because they are depressed about COVID….not only does he appear to believe this shit….half the left does too.
It is going to be really hard for Russians that supported Putin in the past to change directions…same as republicans and democrats that are simply loyal to one party.
