    His current strategy is working. Ukraine is at best just holding to a stalemate. They just lost a city and retreated. Hell Russia might not even want a peace agreement with how it’s going. 

     

    Right. So let's say Ukraine loses, and Russia swallows them up, but Putin dies.

     

    What incentives are their for his successor to aside Putin's toolkit, if it turns out it works?

    Is this the "Putin/Russia is going to start invading NATO countries" again? :rolleyes:

     

    Nope!

    best bet imo is wait out Putin and see if he dies and a less psycho president comes into power. 

     

    I know some of our more brain dead posters are going to call me a warmonger or whatever, but hear me out.

     

    If Putin's current strategy works, and Russia keeps the ability to execute it after he dies...

     

    What incentive does the next Russian leader have to stop using it?

    Yup, those CEO's have most certainly not suffered.  Another story for their shareholders and workers.  And most of these auto union jobs and factories started going overseas with NAFTA to Mexico and Canada under Clinton and accelerated under Bush 2 with a pivot of the exodus to Asia.  Some of this has been offset by foreign manufacturers that have set up assembly plants in the South but these use mostly foreign content and parts to assemble vehicles in the US in order to avoid import tariffs and charges for the import of finished goods.  Employment in the domestic auto industry is a fraction of what it was 20 or 30 years ago. 

     

    Yuuuuupppp.

     

    Isn't odd that any improvement in worker wages or benefits is a catastrophe that will spike prices, tank shareholder value, and drive the company out of business?

     

    Nope, let's keep on swinging the trickle down meat axe into blue collar america.

  4. I'll give it a watch and see if what I've heard is the same as what happened.

     

    Most of the sound bites are Putin giving the cliff notes version of Russia's Eurasianist school of nationalism, as updated for modern times by crank "historian" Aleksander Dugin. Everybody's got their pet intellectuals though, and I'm sure Tucker when into this interview properly prepared with a knowledge of Eastern European history from the Kievan Rus to Bakhmut. So he wouldn't be impressed by the sort of fact puking that folks rely on when they aren't interested in contrary evidence or getting off script.

     

    Should be fun.

    More infrastructure attacks in Russia.   Is it Ukraine or the crazy Russian separatists we heard about earlier in the war?  Almost no media coverage.   Very strange.....great strategy though.   Russia is trying their best to suppress the news but individuals are posting videos.  

     

    Could be long range drones, could be ATESH, could be Ukrainian intelligence.

     

    My guess is drones and ATESH. Ukrainian Intelligence seems more into the assassinations. See for example, when Russian submarine captain Stanislav Rzhitsky posted his jogging route online. Then he was shot six times while jogging it.

    I am always calm.

     

    That nonsense aside, can you point to any post where I have supported "isolationist"?

    I have posted on supporting Ukraine and Israel many, many times.

     

    You have devolved from being a silly partisan, through idiotic accusations which you have refused to respond to challenges of, and now writing pure fiction.

     

    Do you honestly fantasize that anyone cares what you post?

     

    You are writing pure imagination.

     

    As a matter of principle, I ignore anyone that posts in this forum more than say, 10 times in a day. 

  7. Why people obsess over losing to the Chiefs, I'll never know.

     

    Why they obsess over giving losses nicknames and repeating them ad nauseam, I'll never know.

     

    This franchise didn't even get off the bus for three Superbowl losses.  Hell, Jimmy Johnson bragged about beating us in the Superbowl the night before beating us in the superbowl. 

     

    But no, people keep on flogging themselves about losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs. 

     

    My god, move on already.

    Whether anybody addresses the undeniable reality, Iran has been at war and killing Americans since 1979.

    Claiming that US support for Israel, in their justified Gaza action suddenly triggered them is false.

    It is the usual excuse for energizing their subcontractors to kill US folks.

    They always have a reason, but the real reason is that they are a wacky regime intent on pushing Shiite Islam at any cost, down to the last Arab they can con into doing their wet work.

    They simply don't care.  

     

    What a peculiar situation.

     

    So why does every presidential administration since 1979 approach Iran the same way? Which is basically to put up with their nonsense without stopping it.

     

    We've tried everything from negotiations to sinking half their Navy in a day and assassinating their equivalent of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. 

     

    Every new provocation feels like ***** groundhog day with Iran.

    You're 'stuck'?  There's 31 other NFL teams and a whole world of other things to do.  If it pains you so much, move on. 

     

    Right? Griping about... anything...tends to not accomplish much.

     

    Honestly, if the Bills are such a vexation, the guy should become a Pats fan, or a Niners fan, or a Steelers fan. You could literally spend a 24 hour period watching nothing but SB wins. That should be just what the doctor ordered.
