  1. So our brain dead, demented president has managed to, without firing 1 shot, or risking 1 American life, and with the extremely limited tools at his disposal to respond to a mad man hell bent on irrational destruction has managed to: 1. Completely de-pant Putin by telegraphing with near complete accuracy every move Putin was going to make and having him deny it at every step. 2. United nearly the entire world opinion against Putin, including a large number of his own citizens. 3. Achieved near complete economic isolation of Russia and devalued their currency to penny stock status. 4. Convinced Europe, and specifically Germany to move aggressively away from energy dependence on Russia. 5. Revealed to the world’s countries that the notion of benign Russia or China is a fallacy and reemphasized the importance of the United States as the only reliable superpower. 6. Somehow got the far right to again be the wrong side of an issue that no one should get wrong and further splintered the GOP uh…Lets go Brandon??

  2. My good friend and his wife adopted a toddler with Down syndrome from an orphanage in Ukraine in 2013. His wife posted this about an hour ago.

  5. I realize I'm stating the obvious, to this crowd at least, that the remarkable, albeit delayed, response by our EU/NATO allies can only be achieved through collective action among friends. Yes, it can be a noisy cacophony of out-of-tune notes at times but once we're all playing the same tune, it can be a tremendously powerful and beautiful orchestra. Seventy-five years ago, the US volunteered to be the conductor of this sometimes squabbling band and, yes, it can be a pain in the ass at times, but without it we'd be in a far worse place. It's clearly not over yet and this effort may not still work, but disunity in the West, and Europe in particular, guarantees failure. My hope is that those of us who already knew this lesson will never forget it and that those of you who are the slow, the obstinate, or the agitators actually finally fucking learn it. Fuck the nationalists, the isolationists, the America Firsters, and the Brexit supporters all of whom have weakened the Western Alliance by their cheering on the fracture of the EU or desiring to leave NATO. Let's make some beautiful music together, motherfuckers.

  7. I've deleted over 20 posts from the last few pages. If your post contains "Trump", "Previous Policy", "no cr but", "biden should" or similar take it to the CR. Going to start handing days off out if this continues.

  9. Russian military doctrine seems to include a heavy dose of “drive your equipment into the open without infantry support, stop, and wait to get shot with a rocket.”

  10. Finally caught up on this thread. With all the carnage, courage and insanity, the most terrifying thing to read was about Nicole’s box being pounded.

  15. When i was a kid we were walking down a street during a festival and my dad pointed out a young guy, well dressed, passed out hard, palms up on a little grass hill. The guy had a big, fat Nikon camera around his neck that looked like something a paparazzo should have. Like $10K easy. My dad pointed out two other young guys were walking past and stopped, looked at the guy and turned in to speak to each other. We were at a distance and my dad pointed and said “See, look. Those thugs are going to steal his camera. Watch. Thats why you can let yourself be vulnerable like that! Don’t forget this!” The two guys indeed went up to the passed out guy and one lifted him a bit and the other took his camera. The guy then took a picture of the drunk guy with his camera and they put the camera back on his neck and walked off laughing. My dad was right, i never forgot it.

  16. Considering that the actual expressed intent of electing the last president in some quarters was to kick over the post-WWII international order and the last president literally attempted to extort the president of the country being invaded by withholding military aid while also publicly made noise about abandoning NATO and refusing to retaliate for interference in our elections, it seems pretty fucking relevant. but her emails

  17. I’m of the opinion that if you’ve got it, post it. Duplicates aren’t the worst thing in a thread like this. For the most part it has been a direct pipeline to information and unique insights only a message board of football nerds could provide. Fuck Russia.
