  1. This administration doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. They hesitated to send Javelins and Stingers, then did. Hesitated to send shells and drones, then did. Hesitated to send HIMARS and JDAMS, than did. Hesitated to send Bradleys, M113s, and MRAPs, than did. All they do is self-deter worrying about EsCaLaTiOn! and what others will think. They hesitated to send cluster bombs/shells, when the Turks already sent them a year ago, and both sides have been using their own stocks the entire war. How can they credibly worry about the consequences of sending long range weapons, when the French and British have already sent hundreds of cruise missiles? Bullshit. This administration is going to fuck around weekending at Bernie's thinking they can micromanage the situation till the Russian inevitably get their shit together. It's fucking pathetic.

  3. Except Biden isn't blameless, as has been posted, noticed, and commented on multiple times in this thread, and from both sides of the aisle. You're only upset because it's a Republican who's saying it in the linked article. I specifically didn't comment in the original post to try and forgo partisan sniping, alas you found a way regardless. Want to point out the isolationist streak in the GOP? Go whine here. Otherwise shut the fuck up and stop shitting on this thread.
  4. Bolton is a former NSA, diplomat, foreign service officer, and DOJ lawyer over six administrations. His opinion counts, regardless of your personal politics. Don't like it? Go cry in the cloakroom, don't derail here.
  5. The are plenty of Republican hawks that are willing to supply Ukraine and kill Russians. This is not the time or thread to be partisan imo.
  6. He's not wrong. Give the Ukrainians everything they need and stop micromanaging. The longer this plays out, the worse it is for Ukraine and the west.

  8. He was a Youtube star when he was cast. Hasn't done much aside.
  9. He had a good part in Gattaca and Heat too.
  10. The score is phenomenal and the movie is a masterpiece.
  11. If this is city of Austin it might be worth it to talk to the prosecutor as they seem pretty lenient. I simply asked for a deferral, 6 months without another ticket and subsequent dismissal, paid the fine, with no defensive driving, and they agreed. This was in January. Might be worth a shot if he has time and doesn't want to do DD.
  12. Never heard of it 🙄 They are? They do? This is akin to a condescending yard sign.
  13. If it's been "unrolled" and there is a link in the comments.
  14. And cuts everything to the West and South. After destroying the Kerch bridge, they can let Crimea wither on the vine.
  15. BTW, the British East India company was the entity that sold opium to the Chinese. AFAIK the US had nothing to do with that, which makes the Chinese Fetanyl crisis even more evil.
  16. That's not a theory, it actually happened and busted by the FBI as Operation Dragon Fire. And now the Chinese are flooding the drug market with Fentanyl. They are truly Godless fucks. This Youtuber actually bought a bunch of satellite pics and counted all the visible storage tanks three months ago. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't as many as Russia claims. Even if they're paper shells, they have value. I would keep them or try to sell, don't dispose.
  17. And it's time to stop self-deterring. Like for like imo. You use cluster bombs, we use cluster bombs. Use ballistic missiles, we do too, etc.
  18. An alternative is to post unrolled twitter threads by threadreader. Longer twitter threads will have the links in the comments below said long threads.
