Well of course, anyone who is affected by events they cannot control, especially where it concerns fascistic governments, is sad.

I think he hopes to make that decision. It's not happened yet. Hope it never does, but I'm not confident it won't happen eventually.

Of course, motivation is a big piece of it.

Of course, I'm not saying it's not necessary, it's a necessary evil sadly. Has the effect of uprising too, when they have nothing and know it's because of Putin's decision to go into Ukraine (unless the communication has been squelched by Putin and his cronies to control the media). On another note, I'm thoroughly impressed by Ukraine's resolve to fight the Russians. I hope they are able to keep it up.

I can't help but feel terrible for the Russian people. It's really not many of their faults, they can't control what the dictator does. Sure you hear stories about how the Russians are proud of having a strong leader but I'm not sure it's the majority. The collateral damage of these types of sanctions are the ones who cannot afford to be sanctioned, kids, women, infirmed, the poor in general. Putin is a terrible person.

Absolute classic

No, Im talking about the stark uncertainty here, not that they will. I'm saying it's not off the table, and nothing is.

I really hope this is not the start of a Sino-Rus push at world domination by force.

Or, they are the SS reincarnate and the soldiers have been brought up with this idea of Russia being the greatest nation. Perhaps they will be too scared to speak up? These types of comments many are making are too definitive for the situation. No one knows what Putin, a mad man, is thinking. If the US got involved, who's to say he didn't want that and wanted to start WWIII?

Exactly. He gave it to China and expected it to get to Russia. No way.

I'll be all the other measures are going well for Russia, unfortunately. I don't want Russia to do well but the media spin is laughable.

The spin

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Putin has proven himself to be irrational, nothing can be assumed anymore.

Is that the measure for success?

Conventionally, Russia is routing them, not sure how you don't see that. Took 2 days to encircle the capital with minimal casualties sadly. It will become a quagmire and bogged down but Russia does not have the scruples the US does. They will exterminate and won't think twice about it. I would not be surprised if they round people are an execute if they don't bend the knee. It's a very sad state of affairs but that's what communist governments do. Pray that it does not go any further than it already has! Not surprising

Doesn't look like it to me. They are moving pretty swiftly. Speaking of SWIFT ....

I sincerely hope Biden proves us wrong and becomes a leader. He can start by making us energy independent. Ramp up the production, make sure our gas prices here go down, and then sell excess to European countries to ease their pain and make them more willing to fight against Russia. This groveling to other countries for energy is pathetic and can be easily solved. He won't green new deal doesn't allow that, now we're being taken advantage of as many opponents to the green energy push have predicted. Biden is trying to end around the concern by getting in front of it and stating there will be pain, it won't matter when American's are feeling the pinch at the gas pumps and the cost of goods go up. Take the necessary steps as outlined above and that will SEVERELY weaken Russia's power and potentially increase his chances of reelection, not to mention help his cronies in the house and senate. I do not want him to be reelected and or his cronies but I put America and it's needs ahead of political needs and have never been one that said I hope the President fails, I always hope he succeeds. Do it Biden, unleash the energy potential of America, cut the red tape and watch Putin and China kick and scream. Russia can enforce their will, there's no doubt.

So you're going off the idea that they would not lie? People do lie, especially this day and age of appealing to the public. I would take all of this with a grain of salt until it all comes out as what happened.

Yeah, so he would have a dog in the fight to paint it a certain way then.

How can we know these came from the Dolphins? Why couldn’t these be fabricated? Asking honestly. Also, even if it wasnt fabricated, these are likely standard exiting procedure for NFL teams.

Problem is that you are relegating this thing to just history class. It's not even about history class. These woke schools, mostly in deep blue cities are teaching this stuff throughout the day in various ways. How old are you? Were you in grade school in the last 10 years or something? That would explain something. Anyway, I'm done talking with a silly silly person like yourself. I'm going to apply Hanlons razor and take pity on you and your ignorance. Don't worry everyone, he knows not what he does, like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum. Your responses are un-nuanced and generalized which is the halmark of someone with an IQ below 70, good life to you silly silly person.

Never, you silly goose. It's not history they are teaching. That's why you're not smart.

It’s a theory. In practice it’s disastrous, just like we’re seeing today. It was never meant to be used as it is today but it’s now being pushed by ideologues who think they can socially engineer a country by starting with our children. Teaching our kids that skin color matters, and based on our color we are the oppressed or the oppressor. Simple way to put it, we can go down the rabbit hole if you’d like.

I don’t expect you to understand this high level thinking, you can call it word salad all you want to justify your ignorance. You can see it today in our schools, they don’t label it as CRT, the elements are there, most prominently telling kids they are oppressors or victims based on their skin color. That IS the most insidious thing. Silly guy, have you seen the news lately? the most liberal city in the most liberal state voted down their woke lefty members. You’re losing the argument. You’re just like your overlords saying, “listen to what I say and don’t look behind the curtain.” No one is fooled. Expect the trend to continue into November and red wave the Dems into a super loser minority in the senate and house. I’ll be right here to laugh at you and your ilk. As much as you want to talk around the fact it’s happening, it doesn’t matter, people see if for what it is. The tenants of CRT, which are being taught under other names, is a racist world view hell bent on segregating based on skin color. The opposite of anti-racist, it’s the most racist ideology there is out there. Keep supporting and we’ll keep calling you and your very small group of supporters silly people.

I don’t need to project with you. You project silliness just fine.
