Biden says Putin ‘cannot remain in power’ as he assures Ukraine: ‘We stand with you’
Biden in a speech in Poland has come out and said that Putin cannot stay in power. Apparently the White House press corps is trying to walk back these comments (not quite sure how you do that as his words seem...
Just another reason why I don't think the Chinese have a real interest in fighting us in a shooting war. They know just how damn stupid and corrupt most Americans are and will simply buy us out with money that we pay then for their cheap junk.
We're too fat, dumb, and lazy to care about any of it.
Guess I don't need to worry about being far right now (lounges back in recliner, rubs beer belly with one hand while shoving Dorito into mouth with other hand).
Sorry about the long post but there was no way to link to it so I cut and pasted it. Somehow or another I got put on the "Bob Livingston Alerts" email list. Oftentimes I ignore them but this one I read, and while YMMV, I think I agree with a good portion of this analysis. Worth a ponder in my...
This (nuclear war) is what concerns me. Part of me thinks that Putin is still stable enough to realize that using nukes, even smaller "tactical" ones for offensive operations would be an end game scenario for him that no nation on earth would accept without similar reprisal. Then there's the...
South Carolina institutes firing squad executions
South Carolina now allowing firing squads for executions. If I had a choice on execution that's probably the way I'd like to go out
Not surprised by this. Honestly, most of the "easy" oil has been extracted just about everywhere with maybe some exceptions in the Middle-East, Venezuela, and perhaps Alaska. Tar Sands oil from my understanding is very labor intensive and energy heavy to extract.
One of the reasons that Saddam...
I really can't believe this. How many spy satellites (and for that matter old fashioned human intelligence assets) do we have trained on or in Russia? Putin may be able to hide some units but not large masses of troops and that's what he'd need to take on the whole of NATO. I for one believe we...
I don't buy it and the reason why is our infrastructure is so shitty already China wouldn't need to do anything sophisticated to take it out. A freak ice storm knocked out the whole damn state of Texas for how long? And a bird crapping on a transformer sent the whole northeast into a blackout...
I've been seeing several commercials on TV recently (I'm assuming being paid by Cuomo) saying that the whole sexual assault investigation was a political scam and that the state lost a "proven leader."
My money is that the SOB is planning a comeback and is gearing up to challenge Hocul in the...
That's one way to stop a war. Just hand out joints to soldiers and political leaders alike.
"Should we attack?"
"Whatever man. You know where the Doritos at?"
It is crazy how much info is available out there. Websites tracking number of destroyed vehicles, teenagers tracking the oligarchs private jets, amateur drone operators surveying battles.
From an historical perspective it would've been amazing to have all this during WWII.
Perhaps in a sign of the times I had a very strange dream last night.
I dreamt that there was a Russian tank outside my house, but there was something wrong with it. It kept going in circles and the turret didn't move properly so it couldn't get a clear shot. Inside I was furiously trying to...
From where I sit that would make sense. Supposedly, this is the primary reason that Russia invaded (breakaway republics and "de-nazification" not withstanding). The thing is, now that Putin is halfway across the Ukraine with boots on the ground will he actually turn back or decide to keep going...
Yes and no. I watched the video (and several of his others) and yeah, it's highly concerning. But all his videos have a bit of "Something imminent is going to happen." That's great for generating clicks for his YouTube channel.
If I were the Austrians I too would be packing a bunker full of...
GOP Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman holding gun drive for Ukraine
White I'm not particularly against this, how is this legal? The man even admits he has no way to send them to Ukraine. What is he going to do with all these donated guns that he can't send anywhere?
My town has a 12 o'clock whistle every day. The local Fire Departments turn on the siren at noon for a few seconds. A few other towns I know do something similar, some even do it at 6:30. I always thought that was just a small town thing (running the sirens when the clock is all upright, at...
I have sympathy for the innocent people who are suffering. I also have no use for Brandon and anyone in his administration. But the Afghan people, in my opinion, didn't try very hard to defeat the Taliban. If they REALLY didn't want the Taliban to take over their country they wouldn't have let...
