  1. It was mostly said in jest. It's not the right time to make that move but I know it would improve the situation in Ukraine and expedite the end of this war (in their territory anyways). It also shows the world (China), that we really won't abide these types of transgressions. By jumping into one war, you may stop another. Maybe not. Yall need to chill, just throwing a hypothetical out there.
  2. I don't see why we can't expedite their inclusion to NATO and say, Russia you have 1 month to leave all of Ukraine (including Crimea) or else Article 5 is triggered.
  3. Leaving in 2 weeks to spend a week in Scotland (2 nights in each: Inverness, Isle Of Skye, Edinburgh) and a month in Utrecht, Netherlands.
  4. Not stupid but no, no smoke. It's honestly a pretty typical cane sugar rum profile. It's good but it didn't have any mezcal or unique elements that I thought might show up being processed thru the same gear as the mezcal. It was interesting to see several bottles of Oaxacan rum on the shelf. I'm sure with the current mezcal trend, mezcal makers are finding themselves with new resources and starting to take their craft in new directions. Should be fun to see what that region brings to different spirits.
  5. Sort of on topic. Got this rum that is distilled at the Tosba mezcal Distillery in Oaxaca.
  6. It's your drones, you use it how you want to.
  7. Voter apathy is always a good thing for nefarious actors. See: America.
  8. What would be the potential significance here?
  9. I feel like the GOP candidates are in one of those getting chased by the bear and just needing to not be the slowest one. But instead of a bear, it's Jack Smith or one of the various other investigations. The candidates just need to get thru the initial shit flinging from Trump, and if/when Trump is unable to run for President, the others have a true chance.
  10. Good point. Communication Director it is then.
  11. Oh boy, didn't even think about how ai is going to play in elections. The trolling is going to be next level. Welcome to the future.
  12. Those guys would make a fierce couple.
  13. Waiting for the F16s that have VERY publicly been talked about being months out. I get the feeling we've been training them for much longer than publicly stated and that it'll be a bit of a surprise once whatever offensive takes place. There have been some very successful head fakes during this war and I think the F16s are another one.
  14. I think we should always factor in that some in the GOP simply do not believe that our government should exist and will do what they can to break it where able. I'm getting to the mindset that they know they don't have a sellable vision to win elections, so they want to transform our government to become a shell, only propped up and ran by special interests. They want a Russia/China style system ran by them, regardless of repercussions, because then they stay in power.
  15. Csb: In my early years I was immersed in the ska/punk scene and part of the S. H. A. R. P. (skin heads against racial prejudice) group. For whatever reason, neo-nazis loved to show up and try to start shit and always, always, there was at least one non white guy in the group. Blew my mind then and still does now. Not saying that that has any bearing on the above, but non-whites do identify with whatever movement the white supremacy/neo-nazis are trying to push.
  16. I didn't know rickety cricket was Russian
