  1. 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.
  2. I don't care for her at all. Swiatek v Badosa would be a fun one to watch given current form.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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…
  6. Does it come with smeared fecus or no?
  7. I got a cuisinart burr grinder and it works great. Consistent, easy to clean, and does the job.
  8. It's unbelievable to see such catastrophic execution in near real time. Like watching a Tom Herman coached team run the same stupid play that doesn't work over, over, over.
  9. Palate. I agree hitting fuel depots is a sign the Russians are scared of what's coming and trying to lock things down as they stand.
  10. This is going to be one of the long lasting effects of this special operation. Europe is going to identify and keep out Russian assets and aggressively distance itself as much as possible. Saw the Germans are moving their energy sourcing into high gear as well. There is a polar reordering going on right now which is pretty wild. China has to be watching this with a pit in their stomach because no one would have expected a coalition with this kind of cohesion against an aggressor.
  11. I’m thinking this guy may not be debating honestly. in this vein….
  12. There may be no better illustration of Russian doctrine than this. They do not adapt on the fly. They are a top down command, and when an objective is considered essential they will keep throwing themselves at it. The crazy part is they continue to amass enormous losses here.
  13. Zimmer is a fucking treasure for his composing, and this is even better. Wonderful.
  14. Poland is giving off a real FAFO vibe these days. Of all the NATO members the Danes and Polish are probably the most ready to mix it up.
  15. There has also been settlement by Russians and movement of people out. Russian propaganda being repeated gets really old. Little green men were sent in to set up annexation. Or are we cool with countries redrawing boundaries by force now? Because you open that door and a lot of nations are stepping through it.
  16. Yeah this is all about consolidating gains now. Russia miscalculated, but they frequently do and are patient. They’ll dig in, upgrade and resupply, go through a new recruitment cycle, then attack again in a few years. Unless they get their ass kicked hard enough. I just don’t see a scenario where that happens so this is going to go on again in another five or six years.
  17. The cuntwaffle killed UT football.
  18. I love this, too busy doing research and asking questions on Surly!
  19. Because it would be one color for the whole map?
  20. I’m confused. Why is Iga a lower seed than Sabalenka? I guess ranking came too late?
  21. Any adverse access easements? Meaning, gates across it used by someone else. Deed restrictions/conservation? Usually I would do a Phase 1 just to make sure there aren't dipping vats, landfills, etc.
