  1. I agree. But I’m worried Western support will wane if UKR isn’t able to push Russia back to their borders this year. If we start to reduce arming UKR, they’ll be forced to negotiate a settlement that gives Russia more of UKR, Putin survives, and Russia goes back to late-Soviet era lifestyle.
  2. Yep. I agree with that. It feels like victory is time-sensitive for the West. If the goal for it to happen was this spring/summer, waiting this late for the surge in hardware support was a huge mistake. We'll see.
  3. You spent quite a few months convinced Putin didn't have the political capital to enact a mobilization. Looking back, how silly was that? I've gone back and forth on whether or not I think UKR will win or not. I get the sense the West realizes time is not on our side and are pushing for a win soon-ish. I hope it happens, but I worry if it doesn't slowly politicians in the West will be forced to reduce their support for the war.
  4. I think you’re hopelessly stuck in a biased informational feedback loop.
  5. I think the likelihood of a UKR victory is small (I’m defining that as Russian forces pull out from all pre-2104 territories). They just need to keep throwing bodies at this until the West fatigues, which will happen. Putin has been wrong on basically everything, but I think he is right on one simple calculus: Russia can eat a lot more shit sandwiches than the West.
  6. buddy of mine, no matter what river we are on, at some point during the day pulls out his seine, dips it in the water, pulls it out and goes 'yep, looks like a hare's ear"
  7. I prefer it when you tell me to fuck off and DIAF when promoting a geopolitical round table event, sir.
  8. Big Pharma must ensure a plant that can be easily grown and administered 1 or 2 times doesn’t fix people.
  9. Uh, there are multi-colored sunsets with purple.
  10. I’ve only ever approached one celeb. Kerri Strug. I was on acid and cried a little bit while uttering something along the lines of “I just want to thank you for what you did for our country.” I hung up my cleats after that.
  11. I think the whole crimes against humanity ensures there isn’t some “depose Putin and say we’re really sorry” off-ramp here. There probably never was, but it feels like at this point it really is an existential fight for survival I used to think Putin was all-in. Feels like everybody on that side with any power is all-in.
  12. She’s on my flight from D/FW to Grand Junction. Tiny little spinner. I might hit on her if she’s in first.
  13. The whole crimes against humanity ratchets this up to 11. All senior leadership in RU is in a fight for their survival. I still think those of y’all that think this ends with a whimper are wish casting.
  14. The Wagner dude’s total shock that his backstabbing thug buddies have now stabbed him in the back is borderline erotic.
  15. Looking for an honest discussion in the comment sections of news articles, huh?
  16. Let’s pass the peyote pipe and pretend like you’re a few years away from sending off your robotaxi to earn you money. What do you think the value of that robotaxi is when there’s 1000s of others out there and the market no longer accounts from human labor hours?
