Interesting, but I'd wait for one of the Russian-speaking folks like Julia Davis or WarTranslated to chime in.

This was mentioned earlier, and then lost in Biden's visit.  We should start a dead pool on Prigozhin.  I will be surprised if he's still alive come the end of March.

If Russia fucks up massively, and attacks a NATO nation.

Well, this war will be over within the next few weeks.

And we may get a nuke popped off, just for shits and giggles, because Putin will go out with a bang.

I remembered the Trump Junior part but I think I missed this whole important toilet discussion.  

The comments section says that the European bureaucrat who included toilets in the recent sanctions list deserves a raise. I agree.

80s had some really interesting/aweseom TV shows - Tour of Duty and China Beach were set during the Vietnam War.  Magnum P.I., Simon and Simon, A-Team, Miami Vice (Sonny and the Lt.), and a bunch of others featured leads who were Vietnam vets.  But I digress.

While it could indicate some form of escalation, I expect it is so Putin can deliver the truth, Russia has won the war or at least achieved its prewar objectives. It'll probably also say something about doing it despite the interference of western powers.

That’d certainly be an interesting path. So…what, he says they’ve won, and orders all troops to come back home? Then Ukraine continues its efforts to retake their own territory, and he then has to declare war and tell everyone to turn back around?

Isn't politics a lot more pleasant when your opposition shows a bit of decency and respsect for the institutions that make America The United States of America? As opposed to trying to tear them all down?

It's nice to have people in office that are that way, even when we don't agree with them politically.

No Cloak Room, but I am a political conservative, at heart a Reagan Republican. I have never posted these words before, but here goes- I am proud of Joe Biden. I am also proud that he emphasized bipartisan support for Ukraine (as did McConnell earlier this weekend). He is setting an example for all of us. 
 
I assume he isn’t visiting Kyiv to tell them that we can’t send a certain weapons system. I’m looking forward to the updated goodie list. 
 
It’s not all sunshine and daffodils, unfortunately. Shit is real for Ukraine. Here is a WSJ article from this weekend about how deep into the populace the Ukraine armed forces have to draw

 

 

I don't even consider myself a Reagan Republican. More like a Nixon Republican without the shady fixing elections bullshit, and choosing to use the civil rights as a political weapon to win the south over. Mostly I didn't like the whole massive budget deficit and enabling the creation of a massive bond market to subsidize the American lifestyle, and the insistence on a negative opinion regarding Roe v Wade before someone would be considered as a federal judge. 

The person I really hated as a Republican in terms of his mentality was Newt Gingrich, who was instrumental in changing how Congress operates regarding bipartisanship. 

But I never voted Democrat for the presidency until Donald Trump. 

I did think Barack Obama was a pretty good president for a Democrat, but I was disappointed with the US response to Crimea and the Donbas separatists. I honestly felt like we failed the Ukrainians when they needed us most. Not just the US. The whole world. I don't think of it as a Democrat/Republican thing. I just know in 2014 I became a one issue guy in a way I never was before in my life. 

I have been pleased and impressed with how Biden has helped rally the world around Ukraine, specifically Europe. People didn't think it could be done. It reminds me a little bit of when the first George Bush rallied the world around the sudden takeover of Kuwait. Not exactly a defense of democracy, but certainly a defense of territorial sovereignty, and a possible frightening concentration of an important natural resource. 

In any case, there's no doubt in my mind that Ukraine has earned being a representative democracy and a functioning contributor to Western ideals and aspirations in ways that there may not be another equal. Well, since WWII, anyway.  

I am very proud of my country, and very proud of Joe Biden as my president at this moment. My hope and prayer is we continue to support the Ukrainians as substantially as possible, both through victory, and then through the recovery. I've said it before, but I'd love for the border between Ukraine and Russia to resemble in terms of contrast in standards of living West Germany/East Germany, and North/South Korea.

No cr, and I get not wanting to grant a blank check when we have plenty of our own problems at home,  but no more aid for Ukraine  means aiding the Russians. Fuck that guy in the goatass. 

This is absolutely the perfect situation.... we don't have to put a single American life at risk while helping to crush an existential threat to the world while simultaneously building up some good will in a part of the world we haven't since the late 80's...or ever.  Also putting china on notice to simmer the fuck down.

And what is the cost?  Having a national garage sale. 

If you aren't on board with that then you aren't on board with the actual good we can do. So go fuck yourself.

Yep, a lot of this stuff is literally sitting in storage, that we are paying to store, and will eventually be scrapped or sold off to other countries for pennies on the dollar, or parted out for spares.

I don't want this thread to go Cloak Room, but in general, there is little value in agreeing with the opposing party. The party out of power only gains by disagreeing. So regardless of what is the "right" thing, there will always be some against it. It isn't a political party thing but more a staple of our political system.
