  1. Putin signs pact with North Korea that could increase weapons for Russia’s war in Ukraine Jun 19, 2024 6:45 PM EDT Stephanie Sy Transcript Russia and North Korea have taken a step toward improving relations. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un pledged to help each other's defense and security and to fight off sanctions. Stephanie Sy discussed more with Robert Gallucci. He was the State Department's lead negotiator with North Korea in 1994 when the North agreed to freeze its nuclear program in exchange for economic benefits. Read the Full Transcript Notice: Transcripts are machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy. They may contain errors. Amna Nawaz: Russian and North Korea have taken a step toward improving relations, as President Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un signed a strategic partnership agreement today. Both sides pledged to help each other's defense and security and to fight off sanctions. Stephanie Sy has the story. Stephanie Sy: As the Russian jet rolled in to Pyongyang, the North Koreans rolled out the red carpet. Leader Kim Jong-un welcomed President Vladimir Putin to North Korea for the first time in 24 years. As Putin looks for support for his war in Ukraine, Kim hopes to find an economic and military ally. The tone for the summit was set with a sturdy embrace. In recent years, the countries have flirted with stronger ties. Kim Jong-un first traveled to Russia in 2019 and again in 2023 to meet Putin. But neither trip produced a formal alliance. The U.S. accuses North Korea of sending ammunition and weapons to Russia for its war in Ukraine and worries that, in exchange, Russia is boosting North Korea's nuclear program. Kim and Putin have denied it, since such a trade would violate U.N. sanctions. But, in March, a Russian veto on the Security Council ended the U.N.'s monitoring of nuclear sanctions on North Korea and raised alarm bells. Vladimir Putin, Russian President (through interpreter): We highly appreciate your consistent and unwavering support for Russian policy. I'm referring to our fight against the hegemonic policy imposed for decades, the imperialist policy of the United States and its satellites. Stephanie Sy: Today's summit formalized the strongest relationship between the two countries since the Cold War. Kim Jong-Un, North Korean Leader (through interpreter): Our two countries' relations have been elevated to a new high-level of alliance, laying the legal groundwork for the grand ideas of leadership of the two countries. Stephanie Sy: The treaty includes military-technical cooperation between the two countries, a mutual defense pact and opposition to Western sanctions against North Korea. Before the agreement was announced, the Pentagon raised red flags. Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, Pentagon Press Secretary: The deepening cooperation between Russia and the DPRK is something that should be of concern. Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary-General: What happens in Europe matters for Asia and what happens in Asia matters for us. Stephanie Sy: NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg appeared with Secretary of State Antony Blinken yesterday ahead of the summit. Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State: We have seen, as you have said, Russia try in desperation to develop and to strengthen relations with countries that can provide it with what it needs to continue the war of aggression that it started against Ukraine. Stephanie Sy: In Pyongyang, the state visit came to an end with dinner and drinks, as the two leaders made a show of their deepening partnership. While the details of what the Russians and North Koreans agreed to has not been made public, some observers are concerned. For more, we turn to Robert Gallucci. He was the U.S. State Department's lead negotiator with North Korea in 1994, when the North agreed to freeze its nuclear program in exchange for economic benefits. He's also a professor at Georgetown University. Robert, thank you so much for joining the "NewsHour." So, Putin and Kim announced they signed a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty, and Putin called it a breakthrough document. As we start to see some details come out, do you see it that way? Is it a big deal? Robert Gallucci, Georgetown University: It is important and negative. I think it is both those things. But it's not a fundamental change in the nature of relations of major states. It isn't good news in terms of what the North Koreans have been supplying the Russians, so that they can more effectively prosecute their invasion and war against Ukraine. That's not good news. And on the other hand, we can't be really sure what it is exactly the Russians are going to transfer to the North Koreans. Stephanie Sy: Yes, let's break down the significant parts of what we do know, starting with what Putin called military technical cooperation. Do you think that is a concerning development, the announcement of that? And what could it mean as far as Pyongyang's nuclear weapons capability? What could they transfer? Robert Gallucci: The key issue is, will the Russians materially assist the North Koreans in having a more effective, more threatening nuclear weapons capability? And by that, I mean not only the weapons themselves. Will they be thermonuclear weapons assistance, as opposed to simple fission weapons? Will now their yield go up? Will the confidence that North Koreans have in their weapons go up, thanks to Russian assistance? Will the delivery vehicles, the ballistic missiles, particularly the intercontinental ballistic missiles? There have for a long time been real questions about whether the North should have any confidence in their ICBMs, their ability to deliver nuclear weapons against the continental United States, given that they can't be sure that the warheads containing these nuclear weapons would actually survive the trip and reentry and work effectively. And it's not clear at all when, in what we understand will be the language of this, when and if it's released, that the Russians are committing to these kinds of transfers. Stephanie Sy: I assume those would be violations of international law and sanctions. Both countries have been under varying sanctions, especially North Korea. And if you believe U.S. officials, both are already violating these sanctions through these arms and ammunition transfers to do with Ukraine. You have engaged in high-level diplomacy with North Korea in the past. What can and should be done now by the Biden administration? Robert Gallucci: We should deplore what the Russian moves signals, and that is first no longer a willingness on the part of the Russians to see the direction of events to lead to an eventual denuclearization of the peninsula. In other words, the Russians had been aboard with the Chinese and sort of the rest of the world at sanctioning, U.N. sanctions, sanctioning the North Koreans for their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons development. I think this, if it does nothing else, signals the Russians are no longer aboard. And that ought to be deplored. It ought to be criticized. Stephanie Sy: You said it was bad news. Is it also bad news that part of this agreement includes a mutual defense pact? Robert Gallucci: I do not know what it means. I certainly — even if I had the text in front of me — and nobody does, as I understand it — it is hard to tell. I mean, when the Russians make a deal, and it's — they have been clear — they don't call it an alliance. The North called it an alliance, but not the Russians. I mean, the last time the Russians made a security commitment that I know of like this was 1994 in the Budapest Memorandum when they promised that they would not threaten Ukraine's security. Well, we all know what that was worth. We all ought to remember nothing has changed here, really. The North has been providing this military aid to the Russians. The Russians are still pursuing their invasion of Ukraine. We have talked about the one thing that might be important and different, and that is if the Russians started supplying technical assistance to the weapons of mass destruction and delivery vehicles that the North Koreans have been developing for the last 25 years. Stephanie Sy: Robert Gallucci, thank you so much for joining us with your analysis. Appreciate it. Robert Gallucci: Thank you much.
  2. how big of a deal physically is it going from grass to clay? she'll be done in london by the second week of july. the olympics start on the 22nd? 24th? is there really an injury risk there?
  3. so we poach the championship winning corch or settle for runner up?
  4. Lived there for a couple of years right out of school, but that was so long ago (late 90's) I'm sure its a different scene. Good to know Bryants is still slinging stiff cocktails and an amusing scene. Wolski's is one of my favorite dive bars in the world, and just a few blocks from where the Lakefront brewery is now located. Its been years since I've set foot in there, but we would usually head over at 12 or 1 AM as their last call was a flexible concept, but usually ran at least 30 mins past city ordinances. Our go-to was stiff beam and cokes served in pint glasses for next to nothing. If you've ever seen a "I Closed Wolskis" tshirt or bumper sticker, thats the origin. We'd pound those while playing pool/darts until they kicked us out, and then head over to Ma Fishers at 3AM for ham and cheese omelettes.
  5. About 25 years ago I was out on my road bike coming back on a training ride out to Hutto and back. I was on the Sprinkle Cut Off road, which was a narrow road that was twisty and winding and hilly and there was absolutely no room for anybody to pass me safely, so I was out in the middle of the lane. I'd already ridden about 40 miles and was tiring. As I was going up a hill this jerkoff in a pickup comes up behind me and starts gunning his engine, like he was going to run me over. I was doing probably 18 mph, hammering really, and there was no place to safely pull over. And back then I was in my "screw you, I have every legal right to this road" stage. So I kept my line. Dude keeps revving his motor and I was getting pissed off. I got up to Ferguson, made that right turn on to Ferguson, and it's a screaming downhill all the way to Cameron/Dessau. Dude was still right behind me but now he's not revving because I'm doing about 40 and he can't really go any faster than that. I got up to Cameron and right there Ferguson split into two lanes. I was making a left so I pulled up to the stop sign in the left lane. Dude pulls up in the right lane and I can see it's a burly sheetrock worker with a burly sheetrock worker friend in a 1975 Ford truck that look like it had been beat with a tire iron. I can also see that he's holding a 16 oz Busch beer in a brown paper bag. His window is rolled down and he says, in a thick, Texas drawl, "Hey little buddy' you's impedin' the flow of traffic." Now, at that moment, normally, I would have launched into my lecture about how I'm a vehicle and how in that situation ---- one narrow lane going both directions with no shoulder ---- I'm legally allowed to be in the middle of the lane and that allowing somebody to pass me would be unsafe blah blah blah. But I realized I was in my spandex and cleats and that they'd probably jump out of that truck and beat the hell out of me before I could even get off my bike. And I don't know how or where this came from or what came over me but a divine spirit seized me and I said, in an equally thick Texas drawl, "Well, the road is long and the road is narrow and all God's children gots to pass." And suddenly, the glower in his face softened as he contemplated my wise, peaceful words, which called on the inherent Christian, godly nature he no doubt thought he had, and he smiled, nodded, and said "Well that's all right, little buddy," then raised his 16 oz Busch beer in a brown paper bag to toast me. Beat down averted.
  6. I think we went lakefront brewery, damn huge beer hall lot of kid friendly places
  7. I don't think it's very necessary that you attempt a real reply either. We agree.
  8. We should score as many runs as possible and also allow as few runs as we can
  9. Pearl Jam dropped the bootlegs of their two Seattle shows from last month. I bought and downloaded both; I’m currently listening to both in their entirety, reliving my trip to Seattle, and going to both shows.
  10. Now what if he wasn't white? Except they went beyond the scope of their job, and shouldn't have broken the law. Technically it should have been handled differently. I would say most cops are bad, in my experience. And the whole point of the video is accountability, not to vilify. Personally, and speaking from my own experiences, nothing good has ever come from interacting with police. I'm not against the concept of law enforcement. I'm just against what it has become. Lol no. There were no signs of a burglary and no reason whatsoever to request his name and ID. Suspicious because of a garage door being open at 2am? Ok. Go check it out. Once a valid reason is given, go away. It's really not that difficult and exemplifies why so many people have unpleasant encounters with police. Hmm, I wonder why that is? One party seemed unnecessarily argumentative and hostile, while the other was progressively getting pissed because he's already been stuck for however long, trying to fix his car, but has another problem now to deal with. Except he wasn't hiding anything, and being forced to help the cops determine if a crime is being committed. Speaking the truth in a manner commensurate with how he's being treated is not being a dick. It's kind of like when a, ahem... certain political party's member has been against homosexuality or abortion, but then come to learn their child is gay or needs an abortion to not die, and will change their tune. I'm sure Scotty Scheffler was fairly pro law enforcement, too, until he's being dragged out of a car and talked to like a peasant.
  11. Just for context that was apparently written in 2013. Weird that you bumped this thread. Some of you might remember that Mrs. JW was Anna Gunn's stand in and body double for all of season 4 and for the last episode at the end of season 6/5b. Anyway, we had a bit of a reunion on Thursday last week. The guy who was Brian Cranston's stand in for seasons 2 & 3 (maybe season 1, we're not sure), and the script supervisor for the whole series and for BCS were here for dinner and to hang out. It was pretty cool. I'm going to edit in Mrs. JW's commemorative Season 4 coin thingy from my phone in a minute. One of many wrap gifts she received at the end of that season.
  12. When the job came open, I wanted Vitello. I wouldn't say I was really disappointed with the Schloss hire--and God knows, in 3 seasons, he's done more than any of his predecessors--but it'll be an interesting matchup between the coach I wanted and the one we hired.
  13. Just to be clear, you “read between the lines” and you “believe” that Erin Moriarty had cosmetic surgery because of criticism from incel idiots on the internet, and then you reported it here as a hard truth? I still don’t see any evidence to support that claim. I agree that internet bullying is a problem, and there’s a reasonable discussion to be had about that somewhere, but we don’t need to create false narratives in this thread to achieve that.
  14. Interesting. Wonder how many players like Sam Landry follow him or go to the portal (cough OU)
  15. Basketball has the dumbest discourse of any sport. I'd say it has the stupidest fans, but it's the same people who watch football. They just say fewer stupid words about football. When I read "The Jordan Rules" and saw all this talk about how in 1990 people thought Jordan was just a selfish scorer who could never win, it shocked me. But we've gotten a lot dumber since then. Why is it the nation is capable of watching a football game and analyzing where teams are weak, what teams did wrong, or how coaches made mistakes, but when a basketball game ends, every discussion is who's the GOAT, who's a superstar, and will X ever win?
  16. It's not like OTF covers all of college football. They cover Texas only. Two full time recruiting guys is already almost too much. What is Scruggs going to cover that Gerry and CJ don't already repeat 15 times a week now?

    Austin FC

    Well…we got fucking soaked (basic rain jackets are no match for getting poured on for two hours). First match in a tropical storm, I guess. Shit possession. Stupid turnovers. Driussi looks like shit, and it’s time people accepted that. He made multiple boneheaded touches, waited on the ball, letting it get intercepted, and other stupid shit. There’s not really a bright spot on this team. Obrian is fast, I guess. But he doesn’t have great touches. Blechh.
  18. Go to TexAgs with that shit sir. We watch, but we don't like you.
  19. Believe me we fucking know. It’s not fun.
  20. They could have run him up to Bossier City. Still going strong by the AFB.
  21. What a wonderful thing lower expectations is. I don’t have to wander around pissed for a couple days. That was an enjoyable and unexpected run. We represented well for most of those 11 games. I can’t say I give a shit who wins if we can’t, but since I have to pick, I will root for the lesser UT.
  22. I’m sorry. The judges were looking for “I’d go over 12% for that.”
