My liberal, woke 18 year old daughter is now complaining about gas prices, inflation and even her Coverdale education fund tanking. Her mother and I had a nice conversation with her about 'why people would actually vote for Republicans and real world problems and election consequences '

When you vote republican, there are going to be things you don't like. When you vote democrat, there are going to be things you don't like. You have to figure out what's more important and affects you the most.
She's starting to understand 'life' a little more as a college freshman.
Wait till she gets a full time job. If you're 20 and not liberal you don't have a heart. If you're 40 and not conservative you don't have a brain.

So what you surmise equates to empirical data?

I never encouraged anyone of any race to do anything, and sure as hell never said, "you people." I said how I would feel if I were a member of a particular group of people. That's a wide gap, my friend.
well you aint
so dont

individuals are individuals

We need to be cautious with our takes on russia and war, and as always, wait until lebron james tweets about it to know how to be on the right side of history.
LeBron is pissed because MJ got a bigger ovation at the All Star game.

Joe did put in some sanctions in along with Germany shutting down that gas line. Putin will probably say that's an act of war to justify his actions. Tighten your belt Joe. Putin is flexing.

We're on the verge of russia and china taking on much of the west. My money is on that coalition. The west will be too preoccupied and focused with what pronouns to use, neutered by powering a war with solar and wind, and waiting on environmental impact studies to see what impact battles will have on random snails.

Biden the candidate: "They don't want me to be President because they know I'll stand up to Putin." Ouch. Putin making him look silly like he did Obama.
Really, you want to stake your credibility on that?

Or on this:


Weakening NATO played directly into chummy Vlad's hands.

Now things have been reversed.

There are many criticisms you can make of Biden. Many

Don't lead with your weakest play in your playbook

You're smarter than that and better than that, and I have SEEN it on this board.

And here we go. Putin just took half of The Ukraine without firing a shot. Meanwhile, Nato is trying to figure out what kind of sanctions to slap on his wrist

Are you challenged mathematically?

geographically?

or emotionally.?

You said "Putin just took half of the Ukraine without firing a shot." Justify

And were you talking about the sovereign nation of Ukraine or "the Ukraine" (your phrase not mine) whatever the hell that is.

I don't know where or how you were raised but in my tribe half means half or 50%.

Putin has already won. Hes taken half of the Ukraine already while the US and NATO were pleading. Now their scratching their heads, blustering and slapping sanctions while Putin forces the rest of the Ukraine to capitulate. Putin is always two steps ahead.

France and Germany don't really want to levy painful sanctions. Russia will work on them in the coming years and splinter the unity. This is what happens when your bluff is called. Obama's red line, Crimea simply being annexed with no repercussions, the Georgia invasion, the humiliating Afghan abandonment.

Putin understands that the west doesnt want to face a REAL threat. This isn't lobbing cruise missiles into syria or bombing huts with drones. The west will back down. They'll scream but that's about it.

Georgia and Moldova will be next. Think europe and the us want to go to war over them? Or with China over Taiwan?

And yet, Putin waited to invade after Trump left.

I can't justify Putin taking three regions of the Ukraine.

And you got me, I still call it that.

So we have a guy in the thread pretending he doesn't know what "the Ukraine" is lol. Jesus people are funny.

Yeah, that buffoon said a lot of stupid stuff before and after the election. The problem isn't that he said it - all politicians lie on the campaign trail. The problem is that half the country believed him and are now shocked it was all empty fluff and BS.

WTF? What Trump said was stupid, but it has no bearing on Biden and his missteps and statements. Or did you forget that Joe not Trump is now the POTUS?

From what I'm reading Russia has already pulled back a lot of its money and was prepared for the monetary sanctions. It will probably take close to a year for Joe's and the others sanctions to be felt. Putin may have to turn to China for money. That would clearly make China the dominant communist country. Think Putin's ego could handle being second fiddle?

LOL at anyone trying to defend Biden. Kamala is proving to be an even bigger dumb ass than I expected - which is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself.

Omar to Goehmert joining forces to pressure Congressional vote on starting WWIII with Russia - maybe Biden is finally that uniting force we all dreamed of?

I took a political science class in college where we watched a Henry Kissinger film. He mentioned how the US learned during Vietnam that you need to know how to hurt people. The US seems to be applying the sort of pressure that would hurt a country like us, not a country like Russia.

We got an old man in over his head leading the sole superpower on earth and it shows.

Whether you voted for Biden or Trump, we’re reaping the rewards of the current state of our political system. Incredible to me that in 2020 we had Joe Biden and Donald Trump dueling for the White House. When that’s the best your system chooses to produce, this is the outcome.

I legitimately think it’s weird when people act like Biden can wave a magic wand to stop Russia (or China or anyone) from invading a neighbor. Any country with nukes can do whatever they want to any country without nukes. They only refrain from it because of self-interest.

Meanwhile, the former President and Tucker Carlson are literally celebrating this attack and calling Putin a “genius” for how he is doing it. There is massive cognitive dissonance between “this never would’ve happened if…” and “wow what a great move by Putin!” It’s honestly just so fucking weird that we’re living in a timeline where the de facto leader of half of Americans is running PR for a Soviet dictator trying to gobble up territory. Bring back Reagan, please.

Images show tanks moving into Ukraine over the last few hours, CNN has been reporting on it. Biden has promised even stronger sanctions than the ones he threatened earlier today. Yeah, cause that really deterred Putin earlier.
