Maybe he just needed a hug. Or even a handshake. Make love, not war.

I know its been a bit more quieter around since oil just spiked over $100 again.

"more quieter" OUCH! Let Strunk and White be your friend

If you are going to commit Murder in the First Degree on the English language each time oil passes through the $100 mark, I may need to dust off my
Seppuku kit.

The War is going according to plan!!! I am Vladimir, hear me roar!

Defiant Putin claims Ukraine invasion ‘going to plan’

Three weeks into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that his special military operation was “going to plan.””Behind the hypocri…

But have we not seen this scene, however obscene, before?

As in:



Nothing but a flesh wound, Vlad?? Really?

Italics = sarcasm? That is the way I took the post. No harm, no foul.

WHO verifies at least ’43 attacks on health care’ facilities, patients in Ukraine

The World Health Organization has confirmed at least 43 attacks on health care facilities and patients in Ukraine since Russia invaded.

Putin channels Stalin and Hitler,

attacks health care

His military must attack the lame and the crippled, because they can not hang with the Ukrainian Freedom Fighters

I understand the why, but ignoring posters is too far, in my opinion. It’s healthy to counter posters who aggressively think their hot takes matter, particularly because they represent a slew of others just like them.

Normally, I agree, but he crossed over to troll-land a few pages back. I hear you, tho. Fight the good fight, I guess.

Did he copy and paste a Wikipedia page again?

7 traits of megalomaniacs*:

• Presumptuousness. They believe they’re essential.
• They feel indestructible and capable of solving any problem that comes their way. They’re manipulative, which is how they get to positions of power.
• Feelings of omnipotence. They often put other people to the test to compare themselves and show that they’re better than everyone else.
• They don’t admit to their mistakes, so they never learn from them.
• Narcissistic and idealized self-image.
• Hyperawareness of people’s reaction to what they do or say. If people reject them, they think those people are the problem and not them.
• Vanity, supported by a strong ego that grows as a result of feeling superior.

VLAD has lost, he is nuts and a megalomaniac. He is no longer a rational actor.

Can he be stopped before he pushes the chemical or nuclear button?

Are we talking about ex-US presidents? Just curious.

Come on now, William, I am trying to stay focused on the clown in Russia.

You sir, clearly operate above my pay grade, not that there is anything wrong with that......

Russia and Putin's Stooges are writing checks with their mouth that their ass can't cash:

Russia warns United States: we have the might to put you in your place

Russia warned the United States on Thursday that Moscow had the might to put the world's pre-eminent superpower in its place and accused the West of stoking a wild Russophobic plot to tear Russia apart.

In the words of Frank Lucas from American Gangster, just say "My Man" and smile.

Apologies, couldn’t help myself, I see what I see. No pay grade required

Agreed on that count. Highly evil.

Cut him some slack. It’s tough for a keyboard warrior to watch real men put their lives on the line and defend everything they hold dear.

That settles it. Putin doesn't like it, so the West will cower. Even though Putin would be nuts to do it, they'll be afraid.

Looks like China isn't that excited about Putin invading and is more worried about U.S. sanctions that could hurt China.

They’d never make it to Germany on the ground. Propaganda.

 

[Rogue219]

Yeah, we're about to find out just how clever China really is. How they play this from here is going to be interesting.

Apparently workers for state owned companies were forced to go. And there was a cash bonus for attending. Going back to the old Soviet playbook.

The deep fake shit is ok for porn but its gonna be a huge problem for the general public in the future.

Sometimes bad people do good by accident. He’s no loss to the world, though.

There is an engineering term, "Leading edge is Bleeding edge". My opinion only, but I think if Russia was largely successful early on, China would have taken Taiwan. I can't believe that Putin and Xi did not discuss their collective strategies/desires when they met pre-Olympics. China abstaining from UN and Justice votes might me telling. I don't get the "End Game".

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Self interest is the end game. This tells me they are more worried about themselves being affected economically more than anything else. They are a global power, but you still have to watch where you step to maintain that position.
