  1. As many as he thinks it takes, if no one stops him. He's Littlefinger and would burn it all down to be crowned King of the Ashes.
  2. Agree, this is what Rubio was referring to. The only way they "take" the city by Monday is to commit wide spread, systemic war crimes and destroy it. That happens and there is no going back to normal for the oligarch/generals. Hope you fuckers like never leaving Russia again. Ever.
  3. Crypto I don't think Putin thought Germany would agree to any major sanctions, because of NS2. That caught him by surprise. I really don't think he foresaw losing access to Swift. Germany was extremely unlikely to go along until Putin announced he wanted to reform the Russian Empire/USSR. and then showed massive weakness. Hungary and Cyprus were solid no votes in Putin's back pocket
  4. When Russia labeled this a "special military operation", I didn't know they meant this kind of special.
  5. At this point, it's clear that atom is right on the night vision. So far at least, the Russians don't have the ability to fight at night. In addition to the MANPADS and Javelins, we need to get the Ukrainians more night vision equipment and let them start taking it to the Russians in the dark.
  6. It would have made sense for Putin to drum up expectations of conflict, only to walk them back, making the eastern territories official while the world breathed a sigh of relief. This is madness. All options have significant and unpredictable downside for him. It entirely possible he's blatantly and casually lied so long, he believes his own bullshit.
  7. Yeah, it amazed me at the time that more couldn't see it. Virtually everyone was in the appeasement camp. That's played out exactly as it always does. I'm surprised and pleased to see more consensus this time.
  8. Sorry if already posted, but here's a translated version of Putin's speech. I haven't had time to finish it yet, but he's pretty clearly trying to lay out an argument that Russia was wronged and has the right to retake any former territories. He claims the Bolsheviks in 1917 gave too much autonomy to regions of the Russian Empire as a way to maintain control and this was compounded by Stalin. He claims Ukraine is purely a creation of the Bolsheviks and never existed apart from Russia. He claims the Bolsheviks and Stalin were weak and doesn't believe these regions should have been given autonomy. He especially does not think the SSR's should have had the ability to leave without preconditions and consequences.
  9. Video rants are more their style. Here's the best I could find, but it would probably be more convincing to him if this guy was semi-shouting this while sitting in a truck wearing sunglasses.
  10. You misspelled DP.
  11. Trump politicized this and it cost the dipshit re-election. Every previous GOP President listens to the scientists, follows their recommendations and rallies the country around a common enemy, handily winning re-election. It takes a special combination of narcissistic, stupid and evil to fuck up that layup.
  12. Quite. What's even more problematic is that I meant to type 2022. The next election decides whether we stay a Republic, or go full Trump minority-rule fascism. We have until November to turn it around.
  13. Yep... unless the Dems complete lack of action on anything suppresses their turnout low enough not to matter, which is also probable. And it will happen on the federal level. The GQP is going to take the House in 2024 and they will not seat a Dem president again regardless of margin of victory.
  14. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
  15. She says it gets tricky to navigate past the carina.
  16. Not the sinuses. Resides more in bronchial tissue...trachea (windpipe) and the major divisions off it.
  17. The reign of Tyrannosaurus rex (~65 mya) is closer in time to 2021 than it is Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus (~150 Mya). aggy's only title is much closer in time to the discoveries of Tyrannosaurus rex (1900) and Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus (1879/1877) than it is to 2021.
  18. Double post
  19. Yep. This hire has been fail from the start. The staff he put together was awful.
  20. These heaters only draw 1500W on high, something like 700W and 900W on low and medium. You can unplug it once hot and run something else while the oil continues to give off heat.
  21. This thread is going to hit 1000 on CFS chat alone.
