2 months going.  Rape, pillage, destruction, death.  Yadda yadda.

It's about that time where humour helps.  Potable water too.

Oh, boy. Glad you know so much about the psychology of the victims of rape, pillage, destruction, death (and especially "yadda yadda").  I don't think I've ever read a more tone deaf sentence.

When Zelensky starts making jokes again, then that might be the time that humor can help.  I firmly believe he knows how to "read the room".  

But we shouldn't expect it to come from our SA troll farm.  Why is it that right-wing "humor" is so rarely funny.

Because it's frequently cruelty with a smirk.

Oh no! You're tempted to "nuke" the whole thread? Do you twist and and turn at night in your bed of luxurious dumbass thread-count wrestling with the decision of the only thing you apparently control on the planet that has any value greater than a burned piece of toast?

Please, please don't end this thread All Power Ishmael! There is so much valuable world information in here written by a bunch of coddled adult children with sailboats, how with the people of Ukraine survive your monumental decision?

And with that, mikewof  goes on ignore (even though he was right about viruses).

 AJ  goes on ignore even though I happen to agree with about 30% of what he says when he's making a point and not engaging in pissing matches.  I completely agree with his basic premise that the USA is not innocent of all wrongdoing and there's a list, plenty long enough of where the USA has incited or caused revolutions, government change and so on.  It's true.  But just because "we" have done bad things does not mean that it's wrong for "us" to react to, and fight against other bad things.   Basically, AJ Oliver is ignored because the man has exhibited zero ability to filter bullshit and let it go and focus on what matters and I'm tired of wading through it all..

LOCK HIM UP!

Frank Figliuzzi, the FBI’s former assistant director for counterintelligence, this week torched Tucker Carlson for pushing pro-Russian talking points on his prime time Fox News show.
Figliuzzi, during an appearance on the Really American PAC’s “Talking Heads” show, said Carlson’s on-air parroting of Kremlin propaganda before and during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has “gone way beyond free speech.”


 



Most recently, Carlson suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be audited before the U.S. sends more aid to the country.
“I took an oath of office when I became an FBI agent to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution,” said Figliuzzi. “That means I was willing to risk my life for somebody like Tucker Carlson’s right to free speech.”
 
But Putin is committing war crimes and terrorism in Ukraine, and “those who aid and abet him are aiding and abetting terrorism,” he continued.
And with clips of Carlson’s comments being broadcast by Russia’s state media, Figliuzzi said “you’ve got to stop and say, wait a minute, this isn’t free speech anymore. This is now being our own people deliberately being used by an enemy against us.”

We all gotta die sometime.  If standing up against Putin means nuclear annihilation so be it.  We died doing the right thing.

Russia's international reserves fell by $4 billion over the week to $607.1 billion - Central Bank of the Russian Federation.

Keep in mind half of their international reserves are blocked in the West. So with higher gas and oil prices et all..still losing money.

I understand the sentiment, but after a nuclear attack the living envy the dead.

Missiles hit Kyiv.
Just imagine how fucked up in the head one must be to fire missiles against a city that is being visited by the UN secretary-general, to whom one expressed hopes of a diplomatic solution just the day before.

Yeah it’s a little easier for me to say.  I’m about 5 miles from CENTCOM.  I’ll be vapor.

He is trying to goad NATO into a confrontation so he can go nuclear with impunity.  As soon as any Nato country bombs anything in russia, all bets are off...  And I think the west knows that, that is why things are working as they are.  Hold the line boys, Hold the line...

We don't have an Ambassador in Moscow and haven't since he was asked to leave in April 2021. They don't have one in DC since they recalled theirs in March 2021.

Super micro-penis level waiting his phallic missiles.
