  1. Beane

    I agree with the overall critique of Beane’s seeming lack of willingness to emphasize WR in the draft since taking over.

     

     I just don’t think what he did this year is worthy of criticism when you consider the overwhelming needs on defense combined with the poor WR class in this years draft.

    He definitely did the right thing this year.  One critcism, however, is how the roster gets like this in the first place.  You really shouldn't have to go into a draft needing 3 DL and however many Dbs at this stage in the "process."  Just like we shouldn't STILL be searching for a speed wide-out.  However many excellent late round picks the Bills make, we have missed on many early round picks where the athletic talent is stronger and that takes a toll in the long run.  And just to preview the excuse for this year's failure, if there is one, it will be "We were too young on D!"

    Hi:

     

    This was not the first game in Rich Stadium.  It was the first regular season game.

     

    The first game was vs Washington.  On the opening kickoff, Herb Mulkey ran back the kickoff d=for a touchdown.

     

    I was there.

     

    Yes, I am old.

    Yes, me too. I was sitting in the end-zone behind the Bills. It was like the parting of the red sea, a wide open highway for that return.  I don’t recall that the guy was even touched. Remember, they gave out a souvenir coin with the stadium on it.

    But for some, the pleasure of abusing Vladimir Putin is great enough to risk World War Three.

     

    The commentariat was shocked by the spectacle, as was the Ukrainian ambassador to the US, who could see that Zelensky was making a dog’s breakfast of the press conference. “I have never seen anything like it before,” was a common refrain. 

     

    Zelensky was used to being a moral hero to his interlocutors. But here was a US president who was interested in peace, not preening. J.D.Vance not only pointed out that Zelensky had not only come to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala Harris in October, but also cut to the chase with a pointed question: “

     

    Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?”

    The administration that offered nothing.  Zelensky showed the world who Bone Spurs really is, if they didn't already know.

    Yes because destroying the economy of a global nuclear superpower after this 17 year debacle forcing it to get even closer to China is geopolitical brilliance.  
     

     

    China and Russia are already laughing their ***es off at the DEI dumpster fire nation we’ve become that can’t get its financial house in order - we try and the fake news and low info libs decide to make DODGE the problem.  

    When Doge cuts more than 1/10 of a cent from the budget, let me know.  No one's talking about DEI.

    You seem to operating from a position of how you want this to be, as opposed to how it is.  
     

    Russia is slowly making gains and is overwhelming Ukraine with drones that they keep mass producing.  Putin has zero regard for human life and has an almost endless amount of bodies to throw at this war.   Zelenskyy is running out of money and bodies.  
     

    The EU can step up and help with his money issue if the US pulls back, but it only prolongs a war they’ll never win unless it becomes WW3.  
     

    Eventually Zelenskyy will run out of bodies.  
     

    And the longer this goes, the more incremental the Russian gains are, and the more Putin will leverage in peace negotiations. 
     

    Thats the reality of this. 
     

    Ukraine is currently pulling fathers and sons from their homes by force to speed train them and send them to the front lines weeks later.  

    The front lines, where a dystopian hellscape awaits them.  

    Yes, we do disagree about how things are.  Russia is in the same boat.  That's why this is all the more important.

    Zelenskyy just secured a 2.7 billion dollar loan from the UK, so that will help keep this going another 5-10 days. 
     

    As for the question above of what does Russia want?  From what I’ve heard, it’s to keep the Donbas & Crimea, along with a reduction in the Ukrainian military and for the West to stop flirting with Ukraine/NATO membership.

     

    At which point Russia would then shift efforts towards installing a pro-Russia leader to replace Zelenskyy in their next election. 

    Yes, just give us everything.  That's why they'll be no negotiated peace.  As much as people don't wnat to take sides, sides have to be taken.

    I don’t know if anyone has the answer to your last question as of yet. 
     

    In the absence of a negotiated peace, is your position that the US should supply weapons and money in perpetuity? 

    Yes, but I don't think it would it come to that.  I think Russia is in serious trouble economically.  Why wouldn't the USA want to break Putin's back whan given the opportunity?  There's an answer.  Let me think......

    If one has supported Ukraine up to this point (a lot of good it does for the people of Ukraine when Average Joe American declares his/her/their support), are they required to support it in perpetuity? Can the longtime supporter step back, recognize Ukraine cannot win, and now prefer a negotiated peace? Is that ok?

    A negotiated peace is absolutely ok.  I think Ukraine is asking for the land that is occupied to be returned.  That seems reasonable.  They want Russia to pay for the damage they caused.  There should be reparations since they were the aggressor.  That seems reasonable.  What does Russia want for peace?

    I support the Ukraine over Russia because Putin was the aggressor.  I support working towards ending the war and keeping the Ukraine a sovereign nation which is what yesterday was working towards. I think that all three acted poorly which I have mentioned in other posts and that they should find a way to get back to talks.

    again.

     

    Zelensky has valid concerns about Russia holding up their end of the bargain and I think that Trump is underestimating Putin's track record of doing this. Other than that I agree with the general direction of the plan.  Three years ago, some people thought that Russia could take over the Ukraine within a month and Europe within a year. Three years later, they are at a stalemate with an extremely depleted army, that is not a victory from their end.

    Then you and I agree except for the deal, which was a nondeal.  But that's my opinion.  Russia is in serious trouble or these "talks" wouldn't even be happening.  Keeping Ukraine sovereign means monetray and weapons support.

    I thought that only yes and no answers were allowed in this game. 

     

    Why don't you want to answer? You can dish it out but you cannot take it. Also I never mentioned sending our troops, I asked if you support the deaths of hundreds of troops. In my question, I actually  I meant Ukrainian ones, but you defaulted to US ones as if the Ukrainian ones didn't count. How ethnocentric of you. I thought that you supported Ukraine.

     

    Ask me your question in a neutral open-ended way instead of a leading agenda based one and I will acknowledge it.  Until then, grow up.

     

     

    Ukraine is in the war.  They have no intention of surrender.  Of course I care about their losses and believe it or not Russian losses too.  Russia can stop the war right now.  Right this minute.  They just have to stop.  You point makes no sense.

    People telling other to grow up, lol.  Here's the question.  I'll amend it since apparently sending troops seems to be the dividng line.  Do you suport Ukraine, short of providing troops?  Do you support monetary and weapoins backing?

    Do you support the deaths of hundreds of troops a day? Yes or no. Answer that because it is a direct yes and no question that you have no other explanation and everything is black and white.

     

    See how that works from the other side.

     

     

    Sending troops is a pure hypothetical.  That goes to the degree of support.  The question is Do you support Ukraine?  See how that still works as a question?

  12. This past week the world changed for everyone on the planet.  The USA aligned itself with Russia, Iran, and North Korea and turned its back on Europe and Ukraine.  For those supporting Trump, are you ok with that?  Are you ok that the USA now is on the side of authoritarian regimes?  There's lots of talk about side issues, things that don't reflect what's happening now.  The US has made plenty of mistakes in foreign policy over the years, maybe too many to count, by both Democrats and Republicans.  But that is not the point.  The point is Ukraine is fighting for their freedom.  Does anyone deny this?  Does anyone deny that Putin was the aggressor?  Apparently the US doesn't care about that anymore.  We have no ideals, no beliefs.  The current regime only believes in enriching themsleves. 

     

    The USA is on our own now.  Europe can't trust us anymore.  If they weren't sure before, the world now knows fully that we are feckless.  Russia owns us.  The "deal" proposed by our courageous president "Bone Spurs" was no deal at all.  Ukraine signs over rights to minerals and we provide what?  What?  Nothing is the correct answer.  We provide nothing.  That's quite the peace deal.  Zelensky is no fool.  He called out the BS spewed by our moron in chief and his lap dog.  The entire exercise was an excuse to turn on Ukraine and that is what's happening.  Now the republicans are calling for Zelenzky to step down.  Who wants that?  Putin wants it. 

     

    Zelensky did the right thing in calling out the BS.  The traitor in the white house has no intention of upholding any deal and in this case, there was nothing to uphold on our end anyway.  Trump will fully back Putin at some point.  Zelensky will be blamed for not wearing a suit, for not observing the sanctity of the oval office, for not saying thank you enough LOL!!!!!!  Whathave we become as a country to have these things as talking points?  Ukraine will fight.  They won't surrender.  We have picked our side and it's not freedom.  I ask again, are you ok with that?  Yes or no will do.  Just remember that if the anser is yes, we're next.
