  6. Finns don't mess around. stavridisj @stavridisj · Mar 24 A Finnish general reacting to Putin’s threats if Finland joins NATO: “You are most welcome here to join the 200,000 Russians that are already in Finland buried a few meters in the ground after your last attempt in 1939." https://bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-20/russia-invades-ukraine-lessons-of-finland-s-winter-war-against-soviets… via @bopinion https://twitter.com/EliotACohen/status/1512212120359874560?s=20&t=NKQ1LVkRoHZ66HG5moK17w

  7. Bro fuck that. He's tired of the loser culture and dudes needing to grow the fuck up. It's nice to have confirmation that someone is trying to do something about it instead of being a bitch ass bitch.

  9. Just as Germany needs to eliminate its dependence on Russian oil, the US and the rest of the world need to eliminate our dependence on Chinese manufacturing. In Germany's case it's really tough, because even if we could get to the point where the US could replace all of the Russian natural gas with American LNG, the cost would still be significantly higher for them to purchase LNG from us in place of natural gas from Russia. But China is no longer really a low cost manufacturing nation. It would take time and legal wrangling to extricate our American manufacturing lines from the Chinese geography, but the cost differential wouldn't be overwhelming and honestly, it could end up as a good guy for American manufacturing. It would certainly end up being positive for American security.

  12. Getting killed fighting to prevent Russians from raping and killing your family - versus not fighting and getting executed with your hands tied behind your back…..after you watch your family get raped and killed by Russians.

  13. It is already clear beyond a reasonable doubt that Russia intends to engage in mass killings in areas it liberates or occupies. It’s also completely clear that at this stage, Putin has territorial ambitions. @MaybeACoordinator and others advocating for extensive concessions by Ukraine for the sake of peace need to say the exact number of civilian executions Ukraine should settle for.

  14. Seriously dude…what is your deal? You have too long a posting history to just be some random astroturfing dipshit…what is your connection to all this? Because you sound insane in a way that could only be attributed to some sort of personal connection to all this. Is your income/business in some way degraded due to sanctions? Are you one of Putin’s kids? Familial ties to russia or Belarus?

  16. Will have to politely disagree here. Some of the most well respected guys on teams, regardless of the sport, are not the superstars. We know Roschon Johnson is a leader on the team and he doesn't have all the impressive stats. Glue guys, leadership guys and superstars are not always the same people. Ojomo has been here 5 years and was on a team that won a NY6 bowl game. He's been around the block. This isn't some freshman coming in and demanding respect while calling out seniors. What Ojomo has seen the last few years isn't good enough and I would want him to voice that to guys who have not experienced what it is like to win at a high level.

  17. Let me put that in terms that most people will understand -- "What's best for them in the long term is peace and love secured by a phalanx of unicorns and other faerie creatures." What you typed are just words. Fantasy-based words. I mean, what's best for everyone is a Russia that focuses on its own self-determination, internal economic development under the Rule of Law, and good-faith engagement with its neighbors for mutual economic benefit. What I just typed is 100% true.....and like what you typed, 100% fantasy. You don't get to say "what" without also posing a viable "how." How do Russia and Ukraine get to the place you described? Here's the hard, painful truth: in the current circumstances, they do not get there. No amount of talking, hoping, wishcasting, etc., will change that. Nothing like that will happen until BOTH sides are ready for it to happen. And Russia isn't anywhere close to ready. In its mind, it still has a lot of killing and conquering to do. So, until someone disabuses Russia of such notions -- which can be done only by killing, stopping, and humiliating Russia militarily -- everything you typed is fantastical unicorn fart bullshit.

  18. that is the last thing that Texas needs Texas has 35 pubic universities while California has 34 with a much larger population and of course more public schools with higher rankings.....and that is with "The California Plan For Higher Education" now holding back a lot of CSU System schools from being higher ranked or more respected because of the inability to conduct a high level of research or offer docotral and professional degrees except on a very limited basis 14 of the public universities in Texas have an enrollment under 10,000 and that is massively inefficient in terms of overhead and administrative cost 9 are still extremely inefficient with 16,000 or fewer students we will leave out Texas having 6 university systems and 3 independent universities and the issues with that, but that needs to be addressed as well eventually Texas waste massive amounts on money on "our area" bullshit with the north Texas state dallas campus being one example it was never needed, it is a failure, it sucks, it has had accreditation issues, a large % of the use of the campus is to rent to DCCCD and it has even failed to deliver on the real objective of the assholes that pushed for it and that was to get gas stations, restaurants, CStores, and maybe a grocery store or dollar store built in a shitty area of town with nothing at least $200 million has been wasted on that McDegree factory and probably a lot more than that.....or the north Texas law school......it is also a pile of shit, had major accreditation issues, it sucks, it was built in the worst legal environment in history and their bar passage rate is shit which is why it took 7 fucking years to get full accreditation...probably $100 million was flushed down the toilet so far on it and dallas never came close to living up to their financial promises to help with the start up cost.....the goal of it was to get a shitty law school in dallas proper since Houston has 3 and Fort Worth has 1 and to steal state higher ed dollars to fix up the old rotting and steaming pile of shit dallas city hall other fuck ups are UH Clear Lake being founded at the same time as UTD was starting....UTD working with TI and UHCL working with NASA one is now a major university that is an economic engine and degree generator for the region with a rapidly growing enrollment and rapidly rising reputation (that is moving past the UH main campus) and the other just now offers some weak ass engineering programs and does not even offer anything aerospace related.....it is next to fucking NASA and was founded to train people for NASA and had/should have access to NASA level people to be faculty or adjuncts.....it only expanded downward to freshman and soph. about 8 or 10 years ago and the enrollment is less than 1/3 that of UTD college station wanting to have 25,000 students just in the college of engineering.....while they shit on Kingsville and tried to take their natural gas engineering undergrad program away......when south Texas natural gas exploration and production was exploding the failure to merge TAMU-K and TAMU-CC because not-so-sharp is a fucking fuck up idiot 6 of the 10 aggy campuses are under 10,000 students and 4 more are under 15,000.....but some fuck head wants a single college of a university to be 25,00 students....then he wanted to turn a former airport on the edge of a small town (college station) into yet another 4 year school because he thought people that lived in that area that could not get into aggy should still be able to be aggy.....in spite of Blinn in both CS and Brenham being provisional aggy the UT Caps program was so successful at helping grow some of the UT System schools that they pulled out of the program because they do not want that potentially transient enrollment.....aggy has nothing similar other than blinn the above list does not count all the shitty little system centers that some universities are littering the state with including building large buildings to house them instead of pairing with a high school to use classroom space or a community college if the area has one Texas needs to do a much better job or supporting schools that have things in their area that make them unique.....like Texas State and aquatics....a good program that could be even better with better support.....a long past Texas State president happened to be a fan of Geography so he set the degree plans at Texas State (at the time) to run a lot of students through a class or two in geography......they have built a very respected program in that field now SFA and Forestry, Lamar and engineering (massive petro complex in the area), Kingsville and wildlife and engineering and some areas of horticulture, TAMU-CC in coastal studies, Sul Ross Geology and Sul Ross should be able to work with UT to make use of the McDonald facilities and to build an astronomy/physics program (which of course goes with math and computing).....Tech and agriculture and engineering....SHSU and Criminal Justice schools that have made use of things in their area and built respected programs in those fields or that made a plan to build an area of expertise....or some examples of what a school could make a name with if given the resources from there you build enrollment and economies of scale and overall reputation instead bullshit and waste gets in the way or the "flagship" of a (barely a) system gets in the way because they do not want some other campus getting a good reputation.....it is funny a lot of fans of other schools accuse UT Austin of shitting on system schools and that may have been true in the past, but it is far from it now....while the schools those people are a fan of shits on their system schools consistently.....like UH main campus stealing a nursing program from Victoria and then having to half ass rebuild it right back instead of building their own or aggy putting a fucking campus in McAllen and having it a part of "college station" as if being there at a little glorified system center is the same as being at a bloated main campus that has an actual 4 year college and "college town" experience (no matter what you think of it) just fucking waste and assholes planting flags or assholes grabbing state dollars to produce custodial jobs and administrative jobs for voters at 4 year bastions of low enrollment and lower graduation rates offering degrees of not much value or demand

  21. Don't think I even need to comment on this contradiction. What the fuck are you talking about? What fucking word? You want to know what not fighting back gets Ukrainians right now? Their hands tied behind their backs and a bullet to the back of the head. From a man who repeatedly lied about his intentions and invaded a neighbor because he doesn't like that they speak a different language. What fucking word do you think we haven't given him an opportunity to keep? Why do you think Ukrainians should trust him to keep to any promises he makes if they surrender? The fact that you still can't see how intellectually incoherent and morally abhorrent your perspective on this is after what we've learned this week about Bucha means there is something deeply wrong with you.

  23. Idk how much longer it's acceptable for us to sit on the sidelines while Russia is straight up killing civilians. This isn't a war anymore it's genocide due to losing the war. They have already backed off from the nuclear threat and opened up the possibility for us to eradicate them from inside of Ukraine, just not pursue into Russian territory. It seems like it's quickly approaching go time for this and maybe that's what all the UN posturing is about. If china wants to start WW3 to defend genocide then WW3 was inevitable.

  30. How disastrous a Le Pen victory in France could be cannot be overstated. There is a war between hard-right authoritarianism and the rest of the world being waged, and it has been for some time. Some countries have pulled back from the brink (some by a good bit, some barely), others remain there (Hungary and Orban), and others remain vulnerable. Putin's asymmetric war against the West is far from over. Shit was set in motion that can't all be stopped overnight. And for those of you wondering and using those terms, yes, WWIII has been going on for 10-15 years now, and most of the wins (e.g., Brexit) have been Russia's. This war is the first real setback they've experienced....and they could still pull out something that can be characterized as a win.
