Hitchcock should have made this movie instead:

So should we get a pool going on Ukraine?  Like what day the Russian troops cross the border?

We seem like such a little bitch!

“They are going to do it! Don’t do it! We really mean it! They are really going to do it! We see what you’re doing!!! Don’t do it!”

Pathetic

although at the same time…I don't think we should shed American blood for this
I think Europen allies should be on the hook way more than US

Can we just send those Canadian truckers there??

Exactly! So why pretend

If they do go in we’re going to look like a big bitch

If we want to go in and get involved to defend Ukraine let’s talk clearly and say how it’s going to be but have our acts indicate we are serious

been doing a lot of DEI stuff lately and I feel you are not being culturally sensitive to big bitches.  Sounds like little bitches are ok in your book, do you give them preferential treatment?

who picked 2/21

I mean it's only a "peacekeeping mission" so does that count?



this also seems like a fitting response from a former pres

Former President Trump on Tuesday called Russia's recognition of two breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine a "genius" move ahead "I said, 'How smart is that?' He's going to go in and be a peacekeeper," added Trump of its military invasion.

Weren’t the two areas Russian troops went into already effectively Russian controlled dating back to 2014?

I find it hard to get excited here….

I think we spent the last months yelling at Putin…because there is nothing we can do to stop him

Sanctions are weak

russia invading ukraine is an absolute disaster.  it'll fuck up luhansk and donets, it'll fuck up ukraine, it'll fuck up europe, and it'll further fuck up the global economy… all because one small, greedy man wants to relive a past glory that never existed.

no.  the russians were supporting the mercenaries in eastern ukraine, but it was all back-channel and undern the table.  the russians themselves weren't there, certainly not in the overwhelming numbers they will be now.  putin didn't have direct control.  the territory was still ukraine's.  now putin is stealing it, just like he did crimea.

how well have wars in europe turned out for the world?  this won't remain a local, isolated conflict.  have you read anything about the global impacts this is going to have?  there is also that thing about the rule of law.  i don't want to live in a chaotic world where rules mean nothing and breaking them has no consequences.

we're about to find out.  one thing that is interesting is that the previous sanctions imposed on russia were cooked up on the fly - no one expected putin to invade crimea so the west scrambled to come up with punishments.  this time we had a heads-up, so more time to plan.  if russia gets cut off from the global banking system, which has been threatened, it'll piss off russian elites something terrible.  will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Anybody on here talking about the potential trucker blockade thing coming to the DC area? They just called out the National Guard today.

People normally all concerned about "Law and Order" protesting actual "Law and Order"… as per usual white male privilege in full effect

and now the white men are coming after birth control… already started in florida and possibly michigan…

Hopefully the National Guard blows up every trucker on 495 with a tank.

Is there any truth to the idea that it's funded by Russia?

GQP is happy to do putin's bidding…he's a Genius!

thanks to twitter i'm definitely never setting foot in texas unless it involves a plane change…

today in conservative  white men in charge we get a Executive Order that  Family Protection office is to investigate any Trans Kid and charge their parents with child abuse…

also, i saw there is a conservative group down there seeking to replace people who supported the abortion law with the bounties, with ones who will support a law that will create a death penalty for any women taking an abortion pill. 

My sister wants to flee Texas but when they had a great job offer in Pittsburgh didn’t take it cause it’s too cold and near nothing

I haven't been to Pittsburgh in 20+ years (hoping to finagle a work trip there this year), but I'd move to Pittsburgh over Texas in a heartbeat.*

* I've never been to Texas, except to the time the Houston airport was flooded and our transfer flight got diverted to McAllen, where we had to stay for two or three nights,.
