Yes. A few nights ago at my local watering hole. Dude was all about how Putin's power needed to be listened to, how his hold on crypto could bankrupt us all, blah blah blah. 

Ah. He's afraid sanctions will jack with his Magic Math Money.

And why were you drinking in College Station?

(Let me rephrase. Drinking is what a sane man does in College Station.) Why were you choosing to go to College Station to drink?

Please do not insult me thinking I would drink there. I would drive through past their Soviet inspired architecture and get the fuck out.

If I were a Russian Bazillionaire, my yacht would have traditional old-school rigging and I would buy actual tar-crusted humans to clamber up and down ratlines during high storms, and amuse me with their rum-fueled antics when becalmed.

Before your sailors sign the contract, make sure the fine print includes an NDA.

Your recon is better than mine was. I ran aground on a reef there and spent 9 months building a raft so I could escape to Mexico.

Been there 1 time. Daughter competed at Texas Science Fair. Their opening singer fucked up the National Anthem. Had parents standing out in a hail storm and would not let them under the eaves at their shitty stadium. Had Corps fucks actually guarding it. Was a clusterfuck of Russian proportions. But there is a good Arab restaurant behind the Aggie themed whataburger.

Cops love this shit. He can't be bothered to sling his weapon and maybe take off his goggles to make himself look less like a storm trooper.

It's all about officer safety. We risk your our lives for us you! Now git on the ground or I'll point this sweet auto-rifle at you! GIT ON THE GROUND!

I solemnly swear not to post about the militarization of American police again on this thread about the Ukraine war.

Roma should not conflate Janet Reno’s storm troopers (INS) seizing Elian Gonzales with actual US police forces. Bad choice of pics to decry well armed American cops sending body armor and other arms to Ukraine. That’s misinformation or lying to prove a false narrative.

well let’s just settle this now and give Ukrainian kid the gold medal in the PTSD Olympics and the Hispanic kid gets silver. American kid gets bronze bc parents took away iPad for a week. 

We should encourage people to grow their compassion and it’s hard to do that if you’re shaming them for the bit they already feel.

No imagination.   I would have a cargo ship retrofitted to be a party ship with some containers basically acting like a brothel from different parts of the world, other containers serving food, drugs, and music from whatever whim I felt at the moment.  We would have a burning man effigy to light up on the 5th day.  

And whenever I got sick of it, I would step off to my Nautilus inspired submarine and torpedo it.   Then I would ram your yacht, and unless you had a seal on board or a guy who could sing and harpoon like Ned.

That is somewhat similar the bachelor party from the film Crazy Rich Asians.

Nah he's done a pretty good job handling this given the circumstances.

Also off-topic but just on Twitter there has been a missile strike at a US consulate in Erbil:

Hard to believe a cat could tear an entire roll into pieces all an inch square or smaller, but one of ours did it when I was a kid.  Bathroom looked like a snowstorm hit it.

Pussy! The world is laughing at us behind backs since we put Jimmy Carter Bill Clinton Barack Obama Joe Biden in office. We're walking around with a "kick me" sticker on our back. We're sending messages that say we're weak. I guess you must be one of those appeasers! We can't cut and run.

So now that the Syrians are getting involved, does that change the calculus on whether we provide some aerial support?  We have never hesitated in bombing the shit out of middle eastern brown people before, why stop now?

Putin is losing men so fast he wants 16,000 of Assad's thugs. If we see Russians having no regard for civilians, wait til these Syrians get there in house to house murders of entire families.  Maybe Israel can sink their boats and planes en route. Surely Russia doesn't intervene whenever they relentlessly bomb Syrian targets. 

On another topic.   CNN deserves respect for having so many top correspondents in the middle of a major warzone. Wow. What will they do when these cities are surrounded ; how will they evacuate? F'n Anderson Cooper is there.  That's going to be an interesting playout in the next 4 weeks.  Got a feeling they come home sooner and leave the JV team correspondents and support staff there to die.

Let's include people who wait until everything is run through the checkout line at the grocery store before fishing their checkbook out of their pocket and then taking five minutes to fill the check out while the rest of Christendom stands behind them and curses their earthly existence because a) fuck checkbooks in 2022  and b) fuck them for not being the least bit aware that other people have lives. If you're going to make out a check, at least have your checkbook out and everything but the amount filled in before that last can of soup goes through the scanner, assholes.

Not a bad idea, really. Unless they have fighter escort, which I doubt they would

Richard Engel is there for NBC. He always shows up wherever the fighting is. He does a great job. I saw a piece where Ukrainian soldiers north of Kyiv were going around the abandoned cars of fleeing Ukrainians looking for ones that had keys and gas and then using them for transport. He said they had to go cautiously around every corner because there might be Russians waiting there. He reports while wearing a helmet and body armor while air raid sirens are going off in the background.

Damn. I only saw Prine in his later career and didn't get why he was so highly regarded. This song was released, I looked it up, in 1971. It's fucking great. I need to look at his work before the stuff he did that reached my ears. 

Please forgive me, Mr. Prine. 

I have tried to remember the podcast of him and I can't. He was a postman between getting out of the army and doing music full time. Most of his early stuff was written while he was delivering mail. If you haven't heard Sam Stone...well go find it.

He may have made an impression, but how does Putin extract himself from this and remain in power?  I don’t see a way forward for him.

I’m thinking that Schroeder probably had to have his stomach pumped; swallowing a full gallon of Putin’s jizz is rough on the system.
Fuck Schroeder. People should spit at him every time he shows his face in public till the day he dies. He’s an evil whore.

His best option would be to dig in for some percentage of what they now control and spin it as liberation of oppressed comrades. Go away for a decade, stfu and wait out sanctions.  He’s 69 so he may not have that amount of time(hopefully).

These people should have been in their homes, living peaceful lives, just like a month ago.
