Yes but what if SMU were playing against Russia State?

This Russian invasion of Ukraine is horrible, so much human suffering caused by such terrible leaders.

Who could have possibly predicted this back when Biden was surrendering to the Taliban?

Oh wait, everybody.

I bet the citizens of the COUNTRY of Taiwan are feeling pretty safe right about now.

What did Trump do when Putin helped fix an election in Belarus so that Lukaschenko could remain in power? 

Why did Trump release 5000 taliban members who then opted to take Afghanistan back to where it was in 2001?

Why did Trump abandon our military installations in Syria only for Russia to move in and capture them?

When Ukraine needed defense funds why did Trump decide it was more important that they try and find dirt on his political opponent's son?

Trump derided NATO at every opportunity, wanted to disband it, and pulled the US out of the Open Skies Treaty which Ukraine at the time feared it would give Russia more cover if they were setting up for an attack. 

I won't even get into all of Trump and Manafort's shady business dealings with the Russians: you'd be here all day plugging your ears and not reading any of it. 

But sure, Biden's fault. 🤪

Of course Putin tries to fix elections, he's a socialist and having been trained by the communist KGB, he's just as sleazy in his dealings as are the socialists in our country

This answers the question of how people like Tommy Tuberville get elected to Senate.

Yet you provide absolutely no links to back anything up? Look, you are a flaming liberal that hates Trump, we all get it. But anytime someone asks about this current, pathetic administration you back track and never answer a direct question. You would make an excellent politician.

Not a liberal, I do hate Trump. I think he was a dangerous megalomaniac and he proved it when he riled up a bunch of time bombs and then lit them on Jan 6th to try and stay in power illegally.

I don't support this administration and I never have. I didn't vote Biden in the last election and I won't in 2024. I'm only happy the last guy has been replaced.

That’s like driving a Pinto and replacing it with a Yugo. You think the first was so bad yet you ignore the train wreck of the replacement. 

[El Paso Eagle]

If President Trump had not pushed NATO so hard they would in no way be in any shape to be confronting Russia at this time. You need to get over yourself with your hate of Trump. I noticed you have no issue with Biden's energy policy  that once again made us oil dependent, and allowing Russia to make billions of dollars in energy  to support their War efforts

So when Pelosi refused President Trump's request to bring in National Guard troops before January 6th that was all his fault also, correct?

Doesn't change the fact that the Pinto had to go.

My takeaway: our options are awful.  Both sides are corrupt. Our people are divided.

There's other options besides the Left/Right, people! Time to talk about it.

It was Trump who gleefully watched TV as the capitol police did all they could to hold back the idiots with no national guard reinforcement though.

Until the two party system goes we are stuck with this garbage and neither the Republicans nor Democrats are willing to give up their 50% chance of winning elections. They enjoy their monopoly on political power and will snuff out 3rd party competition at all costs.

Back to the topic...gotta admire those plucky Ukrainians.  They're giving Putin more than he expected.

[Mean Green 93-98]

If this is true, many Russian soldiers did not know they were going to actual war.

Quote

Even soldiers captured during the invasion have told interviewers that they believed they were taking part in exercises, said Olena Prokopenko, a non-resident fellow of the Co-chair of the Transatlantic Task Force on Ukraine and non-resident Fellow at the German Marshall Fund.

“If you watch interrogations of the captured Russian servicemen soldiers that are invading Ukraine right now, many of them, if not most of them…they say they have not been informed by their leadership why and where they're going,” Prokopenko said on a German Marshall Fund program.

Who do you blame on the time bombs that took over the Seattle police precinct and destroyed downtown Seattle? 
 

January 6th was a very small group of dipshits that acted like dipshits. If they were a true insurrection, you can bet your sweet ass it would have lasted more than a few hours.

I don't know, was the President making a speech beforehand there? I'm dying to hear what politician you think lead the charge for CHAZ to be an actual thing that happened.

Yeah they only wanted to reach Democratic politicians and kill them or Pence to prevent the vote tally from being read so Trump could declare martial law, totally not an insurrection. It was just a coincidence that their plans to disrupt Congress and hold them hostage happened to be on that day. It's totally just a coincidence that Lauren Boebert tweeted out that morning that it was gonna be 1776 again.

Listen man, you've offered little to no argument in any of these posts beyond just a half-ass attempt at internet coal rolling. I understand that after 45 days of no matches on tinder you can get a little frustrated, but I give no rat's ass for anyone who is going to name call and come at me personally. Grow up or gtfo.

This war is going to be the end of Putin. Even if Russia wins it will be very difficult for an occupation force to control an armed population of forty million as there will be a continuous flood of small arms going in from surrounding nations, Russia cant afford to occupy Ukraine long term, and Russian citizens will not tolerate their sons coming home in bags. 

I predict Putin will die of "natural causes" within four years.

Was chewing on this yesterday.  That this move sets him up for an awful ending, at least politically and, yes, a mysterious death.

Did you watch the video of capital police opening the doors and people strolling in? You can’t possibly believe that was remotely an insurrection. Yes or no, did you watch the video?

What if I just want a good 'ol F150 or Sierra?  Something dependable/reliable, and will work hard for me.   I don't want either of those piece of crap cars?   ... yet somehow, when I go to the dealership, I can only choose from a Pingo or a Yugo.

I think Jan 6 was not as evil as the left media portrays it, but the Right tends to downplay.

Lots of non-violent idiot pansies in that crowd (seriously, selfies?), but they still would have been happy to have taken over our government if they knew what they were doing.

I think there is another, more serious threat of people from the right that were laughing from the outside, and have a much better plan in place if they ever decide (or get provoked) to act on it.

[Cooke County Kid]

Civility has been construed by some as being politically correct or weak. Attacking people with anything but facts concerning an issue shows a lack of knowledge and class. The public discourse has gotten so low, it is truly sad. Respect for other people and their views is not to be tolerated but attacked.  I wonder where people get these ideas?

I just saw a Big right wing festival on TV and it showed attendees chanting Trump and then Putin, they call themselves patriots.  Hmmm….

 

[HoustonEagle]

I find it interesting how many here think things like oil production and defense spending and procurement,  etc…. turn on a dime. Biden has been in office for one year.  Hate him all you want that is after all your right but take some time to realize that most of these problems are years and sometimes decades in the making.   As for me I believe in democracy far more than I do one man or woman.
