Personally my 2 cents he is being very restrained. He is mauling the Ukrainians if they resist. He is leaving critical infrastructure alone as far as possible. I think his plan is kick in the front door. Garrote the Leaders if he can catch them, knock out some teeth, knees to the balls, general shit kicking then pull back to Russian Separatist lines. He will stay in Ukraine until he roots out the CIA and the Biden/Gobalist shit. His intent is not to destroy the people or the beautiful old cities. But Russia is not going to tolerate Western bullshit from now on.
People always forget, Russia lost 25M in ww2 fighting NAZI, and they kept fighting.
The total losses of all Allied Forces was less than 1M never underestimate the Russian will to defend the Motherland.
Technically without bias, Russia defeated Hitler, we were the clean up bulls.

The US Dollar as reserve currency would be gone reasonably quickly. It means the collapse of the US Dollar and 3rd world status for the US Greenback. End of Empire Becomes Obvious instead of in rear view mirror and getting closer.
The problem with this is the last time an empire as dominate as our fell, the next thousand years were pretty fucking bad. We are right there, if we fall it is the Dark Ages all over again. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. Looks like we are on that track.

My 2 cents. US has not been an Empire that long. Lets back up. The longest lasting most durable empire in western terms was the Roman Empire. Then came the British Empire. They controlled the oceans and dominated through trade. What kills all Empires?
The cost of projecting power. Simple mathematics.
When the British Empire could use rifles against savages with spears and bows and arrows it was cost effective.
When the natives acquired firearms it quickly became a losing game for the Brits.
The Brits did a lot for the development of the world, the shipping lanes and trade became safe and viable.
The nations they colonized adopted British laws and medicine and educational systems etc.
But the cost of projecting power and controlling everything destroyed them. As long as they had a captive market for their goods they became unbelievably wealthy. Look at pictures of the monstrous homes and estates in England. My word incredible.
The Great Wars destroyed and bankrupted the British Empire. They entangled themselves in European wars. "The Great Game"
The luckiest thing in the world for mankind was that as the British Empire fell, America took over. Pax Britannia became Pax Americana. Once the ww2 was cleaned up America became the global power and extremely wealthy. Still, what broke the Roman's and the British is now breaking the USA.
Trump knew this and tried to reverse the outflow of jobs and wealth. MAGA. But it was not to be.
When Rome could no longer pay the Mercenaries and bribe the local war lords she began to fall apart. The Hordes of Barbarians attacked like wolves on the herd and pulled her down. And Rome had so abused her own citizens with taxes and outrageous laws, that the Roman's ran out to greet the Barbarians as they invaded Roe and welcomed them as saviours. Sound familiar.
Empires always fail from within. The Founding Fathers knew this and warned again and again and again to avoid all entanglements. 2 cents.

Why has being wide awake for the past several years, make me when i see leaders like Trudeau condemning Russia, make me think maybe Russia isnt as bad as what they are making them out to be? Maybe i am stupid? Nothing seems right, right now.
That list of people he's asking reminds me of The Bad News Bears without a coach. Only one missing is #jensaki
If Ukraine falls those dating sites will be seeing heavy traffic.

I’m in a pretty good spot to get some inside info on this one. Assuming it isn’t classified.
Could be a thorn considering the clout that the defense contractors have in Washington. Might start seeing some about faces when China starts hurting the campaign donations.
Is that a serious reply or sarcasim?

I wish wish Pooty would send a squad for him.
There is your false positive. Doing the opposite of Kristol's recommendation is the prudent decision.
Whatever Zbig suggests, we should do the opposite.
That guy had the great idea to arm the Mujahedeen. He then had the great idea to fund Pol Pot.
He's evil.

By the way, she is not talking about sacrifice from her or her friends. She is talking about sacrifice from 18 year old men from Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, etc.

Gentlemen (and tgsio if she is present), how significant is the capture of Chernobyl by the Russian forces? Since I've seen the mini-series and played Call of Duty (tongue in cheek, but true), I understand a little about this but are they trying to use it as a source for dirty bombs? That shit is scary to think about.

Dirty bombs would be detected and they would get blamed for it.
See part of me wants to say fuck Ukraine but then I think about the 1930's and Poland/France and think how this could get away from us quick. Not saying I think we should go balls deep in Ukraine but allowing it to happen will only embolden Putin and Xi.
I have a hard time seeing Putin stop at Ukraine. No way Putin doesn't want that northern block back from Poland to Estonia and all of that Black Sea coast line. His end goal is reunification of the Soviet Union IMO

Who knew these folks that list their pronouns in their bio are so bloodthirsty?
I would doubt we have biolabs in Ukraine. Its one of the most corrupt countries in the world. You'd never keep anything valuable from being stolen and sold.
