    Except…..you literally can have it both ways, because that’s exactly the case.
    Militarily, Russia is shit for its size. It has nukes, and it has numbers. The nukes means that its foes can’t just take their gloves off in a fight. It’s numbers mean that in spite of shitty equipment, shitty organization and leadership, and low motivation, it can still inflict real damage. A million teenagers with sharpened sticks can still inflict real damage. But as far as being a competitor with real powers, militarily…it’s shit.
    As for being really, really good at espionage, sowing discord, and having an outsize influence in two fundamental economic sectors (food and energy)….that’s also exactly the case. It is the largest geographic country in the world, covering more arable land and more petroleum reserves than anyone else, so, yeah…Russia has real influence over the global economy. It’s just geography. As for Russian espionage, disinformation efforts, and the like….why wouldn’t they be good at it? It’s perfectly consistent with them not being that great at war. Weak in one area often means strength in another. They’re very good at that particular part of the game. They’re just not great at integrating all the pieces. Russia had gained a whole lot of ground, helping to fracture the US, the UK, the EU, and NATO….and then burned all of that advantage in mere days. The damage is still done, but what they wanted to gain from it didn’t really come to fruition.

    You’re not very good at this, tankie.

    The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

    They're being invaded, Fozzz. They're often faced with less than perfect choices. What would you do if you were President of Ukraine about this Russian invasion? If you were President of the USA, what would you differently? If you have a solution, the whole motherfucking world would love to hear it, Fozzz.

    Diplomacy. Unfortunately the U.S. doesn't actually gaf about Ukrainians they're merely pawns in our proxy war against Russia. Funny how people with no skin in the game want to fight until the last dead Ukrainian.

    So it's your position that inflation and rising gas prices are not global problems, but instead a phenomenon limited to the US?

    As Biden pointed out all of these problems are due to God Emperor Putin controlling fuel prices & inflation.

    This has been the case for every Russian who is is conscription age. When I was at UT, one of my buddies was an international student from St. Petersburg, and for about 18 months he couldn't go home to Russia to visit his family for fear of them taking his passport and compelling him to military service. And that was back in 2013!

    I can't imagine any good reason to go to Russia now. It's a damn steel trap waiting to keep you stuck inside, just ask Ms. Griner

    Didn't Ukraine ban all men 18-60 from leaving the country?

    I lurk here some, and post here never.  Or almost never.  My politics are the exact opposite of our President, and I've been surprised...impressed, by how well he's done

    Stfu, Boris. 

    Funny how you call me Boris when you're the one who thinks Putin controls everything from our elections to fuel prices to inflation to social media, etc. You truly see him as a the leader of the free world. 🤡

    When it comes to foreign policy, Biden’s hit a home run. When it comes to inflation and gas prices and supply chain issues, those are global problems so I don’t know how any of those can be blamed on him. Of course the Republicans are going to blame him for them just out of partisan self-interest. Here’s something bad, blame a Democrat.

    The Ukrainians might build him a statue. They would’ve been fucked of Trump were re-elected. 

    Global problems? Biden literally blamed it all on "Russia, Russia, Russia". Are they a crumbling paper tiger that can't even take on Ukraine or this ominipotent superpower that not only controls our elections but global energy prices, inflation, & supply chains? You can't have it both ways.

    100%, GRUHorn is fooling no one with this fake liberal persona. 

    Haven't been here long enough to know who GRU is nor his posting style. That being said if we can afford being the world police we can afford giving ppl healthcare like every other first world country provides. Do you agree?

    It's almost like ole Joe is a huge piece of shit politician, who would have thought! 

    Joe is and has been wrong the entire time on this, but this isn't Joe Bidens fault. 

    Nothing is ever his fault. Not one fucking thing. Dude is immune from criticism.

    It's a good thing I don't worship him like the people on the right do their orange god.

    People will still defend him though regardless. The bar needs to be set higher than simply not being Trump or some GOP dipshit. Ffs can we get someone better than Joe "I beat the socialist" Biden in office? Like someone else pointed out the Overton window In this country is so right wing it's fucking crazy.

    His ultimate conclusion was correct, but he was so close so many times to becoming fully self-aware.  You could see the light bulb starting to flicker, but then his moron “conservative” brain would snuff it out. He came across like Anastasis. So badly wanting to both sides everything and then when it becomes blatantly obvious that Rs are the real problem, nope, gotta retreat back to the “I’m in the middle because it seems smarter that way because reasons” mindset. Fuck. 

    The conservative blue check mob is already disavowing him.
