  5. Trump suggests Ukraine 'play offensive' as Russia downplays prospect of Putin-Zelenskyy summit Trump said it's "hard" to "win a war without attacking an invaders country." ByMichelle Stoddart and Patrick Reevell August 21, 2025, 7:02 PM Amid Russian resistance to his peacemaking efforts, President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to suggest Ukraine go on the offensive militarily. In a post to his social media platform, Trump criticized former President Joe Biden's approach to the conflict, claiming Biden "would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND." "It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offensive. There is no chance of winning!" Trump wrote. Biden last year reversed a long-standing policy and authorized Ukraine to use American-supplied ATACM long-range missiles to strike inside of Russia, but before that the administration had blocked strikes inside of Russia, only allowing the Ukrainian military to use shorter-range missiles to strike in Ukrainian territory seized by Russia. Trump long opposed allowing Ukraine to strike Russia, heavily criticizing Biden for authorizing it and as President he has appeared to discourage it as escalatory. But Trump has recently taken an interest in the possibility of Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia. has taken interest in the possibility of Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia. The White House confirmed July reports that Trump discussed with Zelenskyy whether Ukraine would be able to strike St. Petersburg and Moscow with U.S.-supplied weapons. But the White House insisted that Trump was "asking a question, not encouraging further killing." It is unclear whether Trump is hinting at any policy change on U.S. support for Ukraine with his post on Thursday, though he did write at the end: "Interesting times ahead!!!" Trump's post came as Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, downplays the prospect of a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the coming weeks. The White House said this week Putin "promised" to sit-down with Zelenskyy, but Russia has not confirmed. In remarks on Thursday, Lavrov said a meeting between the two leaders could only take place once all major components of a peace agreement are worked out. “Our president has repeatedly said that he is ready to meet, including with Mr. Zelenskyy, on the understanding that all issues requiring consideration at the highest level will be thoroughly worked out and experts and ministers will prepare appropriate recommendations," Lavrov said. Such conditions appeared to make a meeting in the near future very unlikely.Like Putin, Lavrov sought to cast Zelenskyy as an illegitimate leader, saying when "it comes to signing future agreements, the question of the legitimacy of the person signing these agreements on the Ukrainian side will be resolved." Putin has taken to not mentioning Zelenskyy by name, instead giving his government the moniker "Kyiv regime." Lavrov also continued to insist Russia have a role in any security guarantees for Ukraine post-war. He rejected the European-led discussions as "futile." While Trump projected optimism on Monday on peace talks, he's now saying he'll know whether a deal can be made in "two weeks." "Well, I'll let you know in about, I would say within two weeks, we're going to know one way or the other. After that, we'll have to maybe take a different tack, but we'll see, but we'll know pretty soon," Trump said during an interview with radio host Todd Starnes. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy is accusing Russia of trying to "wriggle out" of a meeting. "Right now, the signals coming from Russia are, to be honest, simply indecent. They are trying to wriggle out of the need to hold a meeting. They do not want to end this war. They continue massive attacks against Ukraine and extremely intense assaults on the front line. And on top of that, they are launching missiles at an American enterprise -- just like they do at many of our other completely civilian targets." Zelenskyy said he will continue diplomatic discussions with partners and encouraged greater pressure on Russia to end the war, which began when Putin's forces invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022. "Each day now adds more shape to the future security architecture for Ukraine: weapons, funding, cooperation with our partners, forces on land, in the air, and at sea," Zelenskyy said on Thursday. ABC News' William Gretsky and Anna Sergeeva contributed to this report.
  6. christian okoye?
  7. Don't overthink it.
  8. Cold air above and hot air below?
  9. Yeah I had to look it up yesterday because it didn't make a lot of sense - Recently, I followed the trail on my drive from Cody to ABQ through the Wind River Reservation. Basically, there is a 600mi path through Wyoming called the Sand Creek Trail Massacre that commemorates the journey of the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples in the years following massacre. When I stopped at one of the signs in Wyoming, it talked about the massacre but failed to mention that it actually occurred in Eastern Colorado and nowhere near where the sign was located. https://www.cheyenne.org/blog/post/sand-creek-massacre-trail/
  10. That should be good for Ukraine as it should piss off this admin, but who knows.
  11. How far is that from the Sand Creek Massacre?
  12. I’m not totally convinced - I still think there is a chance that there will be a revolt.
  13. Were they better than T. Rex?
  14. or they just want to get ctj’s hopes up before he sees McJaggy go off for 500yrds against OSU.
  15. Know about that as well. Maybe I misread the original point the poster was trying to make. I kind of speed read/skim posts most of the time. But with the bomb in particular, many, many Jews were involved. The most prominent ones were of German and Hungarian ancestry although Niels Bohr was Danish.
  16. Here are some key Jewish figures involved in the building of the nuclear bomb. This list is nowhere near exhaustive as it only includes some of the key contributors and none of the minor contributors: J. Robert Oppenheimer: Director of the Los Alamos branch of the Manhattan Project Leo Szilard: A Hungarian-born Jewish physicist, Szilard is credited with initiating the project by persuading Albert Einstein to write a letter to President Roosevelt. He also patented a nuclear reactor design with Enrico Fermi. Edward Teller: A Hungarian-American physicist, Teller was a key figure in the development of the hydrogen bomb, a more powerful successor to the atomic bomb. Hans Bethe: A German-born physicist, Bethe led the theoretical division at Los Alamos and made significant contributions to understanding nuclear reactions. Eugene Wigner: A Hungarian-American physicist, Wigner played a vital role in the development of nuclear reactors and the separation of uranium isotopes. Felix Bloch: A Swiss physicist, Bloch contributed to the theoretical understanding of nuclear physics. Niels Bohr: A Danish physicist, Bohr provided crucial insights into nuclear fission and was instrumental in the early stages of the project. John von Neumann: A Hungarian-American mathematician, von Neumann played a key role in the development of the bomb's detonation system. Richard Feynman: An American theoretical physicist who worked on the development of the bomb's detonation system. Otto Frisch: An Austrian-British physicist, Frisch was involved in early calculations about the critical mass of uranium needed for a nuclear explosion. Rudolf Peierls: A German-British physicist, Peierls co-authored a report with Frisch that first calculated the critical mass of uranium. These are just a few examples, and many other Jewish scientists contributed to the Manhattan Project in various capacities. If you are interested in Hungarian Jews in particular you should read up on the "Martians". Some interesting friends who grew up together and learned some math along the way. Those guys included Leo Szilard: A physicist who conceived the nuclear chain reaction. John von Neumann: A mathematician known for his work on game theory and the development of the modern computer. Eugene Wigner: A physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his work on symmetries in physics. Edward Teller: A physicist known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb". Theodore von Kármán: A fluid dynamicist who helped establish NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Paul Erdős: A highly prolific mathematician known for his collaborative work.
  17. mainly German and Hungarian Jews - not Nazis.
  18. Percy Foreman lived down the street from us. He’s dead now.
  19. Yeah, I live in the mountains so unless Yellowstone erupts, I should be fine.
  20. 10 each to Moscow and St Pete would be orgasmic.
  21. I’m not positive that is true. ctj can give better insight into how NIL is currently being structured, though. And just to be clear, there is no way in hell Texas would process one of the better players coming out of high school this year. It is not a smart discussion, especially since the guy has a very, very minor injury and goes to one of the premier high schools in the country. The other part of the discussion about why play your high school games is pretty dumb as well. Some guys like supporting their teammates. Some guys like playing football. Guys who skip their senior year of football just because have a pretty poor track record of performing well in college. Finally, all the posters involved in the global warming talk on the recruiting thread deserve to burn in hell or get a timeout whichever is more painful for them. Cheese puns, chicken fried steak, and cat talk is infinitely more entertaining.
  22. It may not be so bad. I set up a friend with a girlfriend of mine and he tore a hamstring having sex with her. He got over it pretty quickly and we were playing rec ball a few weeks later. Interestingly, he never had to choose between rec ball and her. Mainly, because she broke up with him, but that's another story.
