    Russia Invades Ukraine

    Could create a few unintended consequences. Russia shutting off energy supplies to Europe may create social unrest around Europe. Gives Putin a chance to increase support/approval amongst Russians. It'll be framed as a USA vs Russia conflict and some nations may jump at a chance to align...

    Yeah all we have to do is figure out how to get a few million barrels of oil to Europe every day. Should be easy.

    Russia Invades Ukraine

    I'm really not a fan of war nor am I a Putin/Russian fanboy. This is just more complicated than Putin/Russia bad let's assassinate. Like 51 stated above: "I just pray God would grant some sort of mercy or reprieve to the good people in Ukraine and Russia who just want live in peace and raise...

    Russia Invades Ukraine

    Yes, I think most people would agree that Russia has the ability to impose their will on the world far more than Ukraine. Not sure how or why that would matter here, and I'm not suggesting Russia has the authority to bomb Ukraine.

    Russia Invades Ukraine

    For the same reason NATO (America) mercilessly bombed Serbs for three months killing civilians, destroying infrastructure, hospitals and schools - they wanted to take Kosova away from the Serbs and knew they wouldn't diplomatically hand it over. Instead, they destroyed the entire country and...

    Crimea is almost entirely Russian and overwhelmingly voted to join Russia. Donbass is slightly less than 50% Russian but the eastern portion is almost entirely Russian. Ukraine is a corrupt failed state, far worse than Russia. The Russians in these regions prefer to be govnerned by Russian...

    Not sure when you bought yours but the prices have increased dramatically in the last year or two. You can certainly spend less than the prices Miele charges but most 36 inch french door refrigerators are north of $3k.

    Projects/Home Improvement Thread

    Need to buy appliances for my kitchen and I'm thinking about going with Cafe. I've read some reviews online and every brand has their fair share of negative reviews. Speed Queen washers and Miele products overall are the only appliances out there that are seemingly bullet proof. I'm not buying...

    The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

    Why? I'm not disagreeing with you but I haven't followed this at all so I was just curious if there is something going on that will be an issue for the sport.

    The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

    Great hitters will stick around longer and pitchers getting paid over a quarter of a billion won't be at risk of pulling a hammie running out a gently hit pop fly. I understand why some people don't like the DH but it won't be that bad.
