  1. $19.99 for me as well. That’s a hard pass. I’m about to shell out for Zootopia 2.
  2. So are we invading Nigeria or Venezuela on the morning of December 19?
  3. Unless you’re in Utah.
  4. "Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests. And a capitulation like Biden’s abandonment of Afghanistan would be catastrophic to a legacy of peace through strength." ——- Comparing him to Biden is the chef’s kiss and bound to piss of Trump.
  5. Maybe an extinction-level event for the GOP. She is holding out for her pension, but may get out early enough not to be too tainted (helped that she was the loudest out there pushing for the release). I know we think it's about the primary, but she might be self-aware enough and willing to leave office and come back later on after the dust settles.
  6. Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Would Grant Key Russian Demands
  7. Fucking idiots are sending a lot of fire downrange into civilian areas
  8. Budanov personally welcomed her home
  9. And tying into the above, Russia simply can't sustain this, and even when we skip posting this stuff daily, this is happening every night now.
  10. Having just watched Ken Burns' The American Revolution and having gone back and started watching his Vietnam series, there's definitely some comparisons to Ukraine to be made (a lot to be made to the Revolution series, even if it was about our founding, still some great comparisons to be made). As one of the historians on the Revolution series said, and as many other historians have said and several of us have mentioned the quote in this thread, Washington realized he didn't have to win, he just had to not lose. Britain was still heavily in debt from the Seven Years War, and with France and Spain entering, it went from them trying to take the North American colonies to them running the risk of losing a lot more than those colonies (including the Caribbean colonies, Canada, etc.) and the British public getting worn out. Similar in Vietnam - they didn't have to defeat us (and arguably couldn't in a stand-up fight with our air power), but they just had to outlast us (or rather the American public's support). Same for Ukraine. They don't have to win the major battles, but when Russia dips into their gold reserves, when they shut down exports because infrastructure was knocked offline or sanctions shut them down, when they have to leave oil & gas infrastructure because Ukraine keeps taking out air defenses elsewhere faster than they can manufacture them, that's Ukraine winning battles that aren't on the battlefield.
  11. When you lose Nick Fuentes, Laura Loomer, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert, it does not bode well midterms.
  12. Turf wars. Factions. This from one of the statements above sums it up.
