  1. Hyperbolic Surly is the best Surly. Some of y’all need to sip on some 1942 while checking out some of the IPIHB threads. Take a break. You ain’t got no problem Jules. Go back and chill those Surlers out… and wait for The Wolf who should be coming directly.
  2. I believe the Surly divorce thread has plenty of those stories.
  3. On the topic of an oligarch not making a play because of their attachment to Vova. Not so fast my friend. Is it likely? No. But it’s definitely possible. There are many things in the last few weeks that informed folk thought were unlikely, that have come to pass. History is full of friends, colleagues, elected officials, leaders, et al turning on each other during turbulent times. Never underestimate another human’s ability to survive, their greed or their opportunism. As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war. Cue Kevin Garnett… anything is possible. и ты, борис?
  4. Once again… this thread has been going on for some time with productive and insightful discourse. Folk have sporadically tried to make it something else. We asked if they wanted that type of discussion to create a thread in the appropriate space. They did. Maybe that thread is not as interesting or have as large as an audience. Not sure. But it exists. I would ask, respectfully, to let the discourse that a group of people started, quite a while ago, continue. I, for one, encourage others to join in the vein… which it has been rolling. Let this thread be what it has been. If you have beef with someone, take it up on the other thread. This is not the thread. Thank you in advance.
  5. It has been stated and requested a few times already many pages ago. There have been flashes on here today. If someone feels the urge to post CR miedra, do us all a favor and don’t. No one here wants to see it. Take a few seconds and kindly make those statements in the appropriate area. This thread has been moving along for quite some time, without that unnecessary and unproductive input. TLDR: Anyone that posts CR miedra needs to kick rocks and GTFO of this thread.
  6. The messaging on this should be Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Separate the soldiers, people of Russia and the oligarchs from this action. Get the Russian people and oligarchs to see this what it is and to turn on him. Will also put a dent in the resolve of the Russian soldiers. IMHO oligarchs will make a play when they see the writing on the wall and see what they are up against.
  7. If it the RTS Index falls under 500, it wouldn’t be a shock if one of the oligarchs plucks an ambitious general and throws him a $50M bone. Or whatever amount to motivate him, along with some of the cut. And yes, I am aware of the monetary nest egg/war chest that exists. There is a tipping point where the economics take over and the oligarchs make a move in their best interest. Will they get there? Not sure, but it’s possible. I don’t see them going down with Putin “on principle.” Sometimes you gotta cut a unstable drama queen off. Amirite?
  8. There is a lot of disinformation and fabricated videos out there right now, so no hay problema. It can happen to anyone. Someone upthread asked about a Daily Mail Putin video translation of speech to the oligarchs. Mongo just a pawn in the game of life, but didn’t pass my smell test. And I had never heard that speech mentioned in the last 24.
  9. Someone said it pages ago, but it needs to be said again. American intelligence community is doing work
  10. It was about 3 hours ago. Was the Yasa Jupiter. No casualties. Ship didn’t request aid. And it should be in Romanian port by now.
  11. Your guess is as good as mine, my good sir. Predicting the maneuvers of a sociopath is not my strength. Switzerland has already agreed not to be a work around. If and/or when Russia gets locked out of SWIFT, that could lead to some internal unrest, as their economy will be severely crippled for years.
  12. I think what my man @FartingMonk, if I may, is trying to convey is that that there are folk on here that have been discussing this and gaming it out for weeks, if not longer. Some work professionally in the space tangentially, some directly. There are folks that nailed some moves and almost everyone had something wrong guessed. It is intriguing to me how there are new posters into this thread, as it’s always a positive for citizens to know what’s going on geopolitically. Just spitballing here, but your posts may come across as I told y’all so and borderline arrogant. A mi, no importa. I never understand people’s obsession with “I was right,” mentality. Maybe some folk want that on their tombstone. Whether people saw all this coming or didn’t, doesn’t make a rat’s ass. We all lost on this one. And so did humanity.
  13. RTS Index is down 42% right now and dropping. It has lost over 52% in the last 5 days.
  14. Using logic to understand illogical behavior may be challenging. That’s why the behavior is illogical. He’s a small man. Literally and figuratively. Twenty plus years at the helm and literally no legacy. Father time is undefeated and untied. The world should be so lucky if he gets Mussolini’d in Moscow.
