  1. I don't know. If you want to put pressure on them, there is no better time. With Russia showing how weak they really are, China largely stands alone now and easier to put in a box. They are in the midst of their own internal mess and their military must be questioning everything after what they see how Lil ol Ukraine is handling the paper bear with our weaponry. Our appeasement of certain regimes is starting to backfire on us and it's time to fix that.
  2. She's there with no incident.... Yet https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/08/02/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-trip/10206663002/
  3. THAT is what you took from that exchange? Cool cool
  4. Somebody needs to check out the old shipping container back in this guys property.
  5. Threatened to shoot down jets that escort her there.
  6. Poor judge
  7. Now back to killing babies a day before they are due to be born. Tastier that way.
  8. Indeed. Had a high school friend who was in the Impossibles so always was there (or liberty lunch) watching them and other bands. Along with some of the best shows I've seen during free day shows at SXSW.
  9. Well to an Austin kid in high school in the 90s it was an Austin institution. But yes, sadly a Houston product.
  10. Lol just making sure. I lived there in high school and early college. Didn't want you to blaspheme one of my Austin institutions.
  11. Fuck China. Make them do something stupid or call their bluff. Either way, one of our leaders should be able to go to a (currently) free country if they so choose and if the country allows
  12. But what about all the other countries who ban machines of war?
  13. Those prepeeled garlic packages are a life saver. Especially when making 40 clove chicken.
  14. Also, this is interesting. Makes a really good old fashioned believe it or not.
  15. Have they been involved in any of what I highlighted? Are they the master at the strategy of gaslighting populaces to sow discourse to further their goals? When being gaslit, you inevitably consume some off the wall shit as a side effect of being gaslit so that you lose the point....of being gaslit by a nefarious actor. You feed and perpetuate that cycle which is what gets you whatever Putin puppet tag you are so concerned about.
  16. No you are telling us to ignore Russia and their deconstructive antics. To not factor their strategies within contexts of situations. That they are only a boogieman and never a player in whatever topic at hand you feel we should deflect from. So are they involved within any of the topics I questioned above?
  17. And that's objectively ok
  18. Great Did they have ANY involvement in Brexit? ANY involvement in trying to break up the EU/NATO? ANY involvement in our latest elections? Do they fund the Trump Org in any way? By a sizable portion? How about a strategy in Syria to push refugees to Europe? Negate responsibilty of downing a passenger jet? Massive amount of malware attacks on our society? Just throw all that away because we are just as bad? That's your contention? Or that you think Russia is too inept to do any of the above and it's all a narrative brought about by the American intel community and propagated by the media monolith?
  19. Because Carter Page and some server thing proves that Russia isn't doing anything nefarious around the world. And you're too stupid to see a failing in one little part of the narrative automatically nullifies the rest. CIA out front should have told you
  20. If you shit and no one hears it, did you really eat that cannoli?
  21. No no, I prefer to have a major blindspot towards a corrosive actor whose only way to be relevant is to attempt to destroy other countries/alliances that ensure safety of those regions (along with brags about it and provides ample evidence that they are doing so), yet makes sure to point out the travesty of FISA in typical both sides deflection whenever possible.
  22. Well it is the party of personal responsibility
