  1. Until you convince Putin otherwise, that's the only card he can play and will if he wants. If not today, then it'll be tomorrow.
  2. SIAP Loving this guys perspective and how he translates complex geopolitical events in easily digestable ways. It's a longer video than we are used to but provides a shit load of context to what we are seeing.
  3. They've been saying that for 5 fucking years
  4. Looks like his torso is sinking into his crotch
  5. Would be cool if they could tie all this together with the larger Russian (government and mafia) money flows going around the world and work with allies to cripple the oligarchs that way too. Kill one of the major diseases our world is dealing with.
  6. Will boosters contain the latest security patches?
  7. Damn, a long cat of long cats in the wild
  8. Officially But I don't think that'll happen until Crimea is recaptured. Maybe next move would be no fly zone or this is just to clarify moves if Russia destroys a nuclear reactor, or approved actions if/when Putin is removed from power.
  9. When do we feel good enough to put boots on the ground in Ukraine?
  10. Interesting quick perspective regarding nukes
  11. I thought they would get 72 Cherry 2000's in the afterlife
  12. His last stream was the most damning one. "What the Fudge" was used a lot. Even commented on how weak Putin looked in the public discussions within the summit with Xi.
  13. He was just love and said the tone around Russia and especially Moscow (where he is) has changed since the last week. From "everything is fine" to "who is at fault". He anticipates major happenings in the next couple weeks. Nothing different than we know here, but interesting from the point of view of inside the bubble.
  14. @Loch Ness Monster He's been posted before but a decent follow: https://youtube.com/c/LETTERSTOKING He keeps things semi cryptic because he lives in Russia and doesn't want to fall from windows. A couple other follows for different perspectives: https://youtube.com/c/NikiProshin https://youtube.com/c/NatashasAdventures Broad strokes: seems the older generation will do what propaganda tells them, while the younger generation knows they are in a bad situation
  15. They kind of have to for any possibility of them surviving their leadership asperations. One of those "sums greater than their parts" type deal. It'll ultimately fail (unless something major shifts at play), but if Xi alienates Russia, all the they can do is play ball with the rest of the world and that isn't in their self-interest.
  16. I don't know, it seems like it's all working out in the end. Russia is on the verge of imploding, China is now on an island with no real allies and serious domestic issues, and our alliances are stronger than they have been in a long time. Still lots at play but so far we are on the right track. *additionally, Iran is far more easy to handle now that their big bro Russia has been hobbled. North Korea is what it is and will be regardless of what we do.
  17. He was a corporate shill who loves Citizen's United (probably the most destructive legislation to our Democracy in the past 50 years). "Have done well" is extremely subjective, especially if they somehow expanded on the philosophy of corporations having equal rights to individuals.
  18. Future tech drones from our military?
  19. In an existential crisis created thru Russian gaslighting, corruption, and meddling in elections? We wouldn't want that would we?
  20. I'm no fan of this living infected baboon testicle, but that's shopped.
