I'm not denying that the next guy could be worse, but dismissing the chance that the next guy in the batters box may not be as bad, is shortsighted.

I guess what I'm saying is that a transition when Russia/the security establishment is the weakest is most likely to see real change in Russia. I don't think Putin dying now is going to change much in the short term.

Republicans calling for a reduction in military spending? To the benefit of Russia? What blizzard world are we living in?
It's not a reduction in military spending. We have a budget for that and I don't know the last time (if ever) it went down.

We knew this when they laughed at Trump for pointing out they were becoming dependent on Russia. Germany is easily our worst ally.

He's right about a war of attrition. Ukraine can't have those lapses where they are waiting weapons, armament, etc. to arrive. The lapses wipe out any gains they make.

The price of oil has fallen more than 10% in the last week (OPEC basically admitted the amount they're holding off the market isn't tenable). Will be interesting to see how Russia handles that in the coming months.

Pretty funny that now once Ukraine has been resupplied and has a green light to attack targets within Russia Putin is suddenly interested in a ceasefire lol.

One out of four doesn't sound like a complete propagandist. I'll let you guess which one my son says brought a pile of vintage Nazi propaganda and everyone takes to be a complete neoNazi.

What Putin is really saying......"Let us keep the land we've stole from you and don't join NATO so we can attack you later."

He's weaponized the FTC too to target Scott Sheffield on no evidence for supposedly rigging oil prices. They will prob give him some Soviet-style investigation to justify this nonsense claim.

Funny gas prices always trend down every 4 years during the fall, 2020 wasn't an exception either

We are going to visit pigeon forge in July. I told my daughter and son that i would ride some roller coasters with them at Dollywood and some other fun things.

I've just noticed that gas is starting to come down some so I guess it's going to be good good timing.
