  1. The opinion polls in Russia show support increasing for Putin. Brisket is right. This is crystallizing whatever fucked up mentality got them to accept Putin. They are all in on this bullshit and they need to suffer for it. I am of the mindset that there will be some kind of tactical WMD used to try and stop hostilities when Russia sees an endpoint. It’s the only way they can stop Ukraine from rolling their gains all the way back.
  2. This guy needs the Nobel. Actually, he doesn't. Hero.
  3. Honestly that has got to be beyond demoralizing. More salt in the wounds.
  4. Thanks for all the translations and posts, pretty incredible stuff. With regard to China, they can get fucked. They are nervously adjusting their collars thinking of what a smooth ass fucking they would take from drones with their amphibious forces now. I am saying it, the drone is going to make an amphibious invasion just about impossible.
  5. This is a good way to send people to the exits. We’re probably doing almost across the board 10 percent. Less for the higher base pay. More for the cohort between 55 and 80k. Some people that were at 80 are going to be close to 100k base. And I have competitors overpaying by 30k, but they are going to lay people off like crazy when it finally does slow down.
  6. Yeah I don’t think Russia gets to keep the lane bridge unless it wins some convincing battles in the south. Momentum is a hell of a thing, and the amount of weaponry that Ukraine has received means they can throw a lot at retreating Russians. Russia made a huge miscalculation in not hitting enough infrastructure but I fully expect them to start really working on making it hard for Ukraine to retake anything past the Dnipr in the south. Crimea stays Russian but Mariupol won’t. And that means the whole thing was an utter failure for Putin.
  7. And whoopsie I’m too slow. The invasion of Russia is about to begin? Hope Ukraine stays in its lane here and doesn’t make the mistake of pursuing. Mcarthur at the Yalu comes to mind…
  8. Slight repost but the top line is insane. First air strike on Russia since WW2. Talk about FAFO.
  9. The Atlantic is really solid. This guy is a great read.
  10. I drunk post frequently but it mainly results in stupid rage negs from me to Dumases. I accept that I am a Dumas frequently too.
  11. I think Russia is still feeling like it can ride this wave to the end and come out ok. And some of the euro countries are waiting for generalized outrage to die down to see if they can re engage. I wish I wasn’t so cynical about this but the further west you go in Europe there just isn’t the stamina. Germany especially seems fucky with the euro/ruble trade right now for oil and gas. Meanwhile the cost of weapons is starting to come up more and more in discussions so you can get that angle will be part of talking points soon.
  12. PAC seems like he needs help. Congrats on your son and his success but plastering him on a Hunter Biden thread is really weird. You may have some issues you shouldn’t involve your family in. No offense dude but real life is calling you back from Fox News fantasy land. Try living there at little while and disconnect from TV.
  13. Exhibit eleventy-one on “Russians are pieces of dick “.
  14. And this is what scaling back means- less attempts to occupy and hold territory, more indiscriminate attacks on buildings to inflict pain and suffering. Russia isn’t an honest actor and unless they really think there is a downside beyond sanctions for themselves this is the plan going forward while they grind the south down.
  15. Sorry, you may want to re-read that and figure out what you wanted to say but it made no sense. In other news, Kadyrov is a fake fucking tough guy:
  16. Who gives a shit about the ruble, honestly? They are trying anything to launder clean dollars through energy purchases to banks that are not sanctioned. We’re entering a dangerous phase now where Russia will probably look like they were beaten back but will not cede any of their gains. It would be a mistake for anyone to fall for a false peace right now, because it will not last past Russia repositioning and getting ready to finish this.
  17. I don't care for her at all. Swiatek v Badosa would be a fun one to watch given current form.
  18. And fucking Macron, he just doesn't get it. He keeps trying to negotiate when France has no leverage or standing at all. He's been diminished a lot by this crisis. So impressed with Eastern Europe and the Baltics. So disappointed in the rest of Europe right now (excepting NATO) - the one thing they can do to redeem this is take in refugees. And I think one of the big reasons casualties are dropping is a change from trying to take territory to consolidation. If Putin can hold the land bridge to Crimea he'll shut the war down and come back for the rest of Ukraine later.
  19. No, it was never defined but the Azov and a couple of other units are the ones that have those leanings. That was never the reason for the invasion.
  20. I was cowardly and sold at 4.5 with a 50 percent gain. I’ll jump back in at near 3 if it gets there…
  21. Does it come with smeared fecus or no?
