Some comic relief. this is hilarious.

Zelensky calling out Putin for the pussy that he is.

enforcing a no fly zone = killing russian pilots and planes. if we are going to kill russian pilots and planes, we are entering full scale warfare with Russia - as is the rest of the world no matter if they want to or not. if we are going to do that why the hell would we "just" enforce a no fly zone? yes, thousands of Ukrainians will die needlessly. while it is unfortunate as hell, they are not part of NATO (and only 54% of UKR people want to join pre this fight), they are not part of the EU - only 58% of people wanted to joint that. 21% of people wanted to join a customs union with RUS+Belarus+Kazakhstan. there is no clear want by the UKR people over time to join either group and ally themselves to Europe or NATO. they JUST requested to join and have their request fast tracked THREE days ago. this isn't going to fight against Iraq or the Taliban, this is a full hot war against a nominal superpower with nukes. you don't jump into that kind of war over someone who isn't an ally, someone who hasn't joined your alliance and someone who had limited interest in pushing to join the alliance until they were invaded. going balls to the wall into a nuclear war with the rest of the world against fucking Russia over a country that has had every single opportunity to lean closer to Europe/NATO and has opted not to over the last 30 (!!!) years seems like an iffy choice when there are so many other options. ~250k people have died in the Civil War in Yemen and nobody was interested. somewhere between ~120k and ~150k from 06 to 18 died in the Mexican Drug War. Est 350k have died in the Boko Haram/Islamist fight in Nigeria. ~350k have died in the Syrian Civil War. don't see you or most others pushing to enter any of those conflicts, which are worse in basically every way for humanity as a whole when it comes to how many folks it has impacted, just because the fucking Ruskies are not on the other side.

Good riddance

My high school kid just told me that his history teacher told them Russia was invading Ukraine to get the neo-nazis... Argh...

Fuck. They're screwed if they are down to using axes.

this is how Ukranians treat traitors. Wish we would do the same. https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/03/02/9813_separatist_mayor_struk_found_shot.html

No question Ukraine wins the javelin in the next summer Olympics.

Hopefully be vaporized immediately. 0% interest in being involved in the decades of shitshow that follow assuming everyone isn't dead already.

verify your kid isnt fucking around or making a joke, if you have to, ask to speak to another kid in that class. but if thats actually true, call the fucking principle and report that the teacher is literally repeating the words of a homicidal dictator, anyone that fucking stupid to say that to a class of HS students is too fucking stupid to teach

Jesus, you killed him for asking?

Texas DPS just asked if they can "run" that fund.

I read a lot of your posts that you put on here. I have said this to 956 as well as others, but thank you for educating me better about what happens in parts of the world I do not know near as well or as intimately as you do. As a community here we are blessed to have you. Wearing that hoodie is cool in my book as well. Anything that helps raise awareness and maybe even engages people who don’t realize exactly what is going on half a world away is a good thing. Again thank you for your contributions here. They are much appreciated from many folks I would assume.

Happy Texas Independence Week (ya, I celebrate like that).

We're told right now that Biden could have prevented this had he just negotiated with (checks notes) people who would storm in a nuclear power plant shooting the place up.

Okay final one interesting tweet before I start work:

He took some Tyranol.

Shut the fuck up, ERCOT.

We got a tire expert.

You guys are missing the most important thing. You can get anywhere in the house by only turning left....architectural marvel.

I did have "Nicole freaks the fuck out" on my WWIII bingo card.

He says that NATO won't counterattack if Russia invades a NATO member. That is not true. He's also ignoring the "soft power" the west is exercising over Russia right now. It's a pretty narrow view of the conflict and not quite in line with what is actually occurring.

No fucking shit. I can't wait until the world has moved on from fossil fuels and Saudi Arabia's #1 export becomes the raw materials to make glass.

Standing firm. Love it

From the NYT:

In all honesty, Ill probably hug my family and tell them how much I love them and if I have a spare few seconds, check in here to see who else is about to die

The balls on these guys. If I'm ever in a bar with a Ukrainian again, none of them will pay for a drink. I may go bankrupt, but I'll have a good time.

FUCK SA. we should've nuked their asses after 9/11. every US president has been too cozy with that piece of shit royal family. time to fuck some shit up there.

Damn, sixteen thousand. Here's to hoping many of these are trained soldiers and/or veterans that can bring a wealth of experience to the battle space.

This will go over well, if your plan is to galvanize the country and the rest of the world against you. JFC, are history books not sold in Russia. The ONLY thing I can think of is this is Putin's tactic to bring us and the rest of the West into the fray?

This reply fits here

Are we sure that's not just a Bass Pro Shop?
