    Lots of talk about Trump being besties with Putin. 

    I take Mary Trump's advice to heart.  If Trump accidentally does something you approve of, do not give him credit.  Whatever your reasons are, they are not his.

    The American public is naive and ignorant concerning what is happening in Ukraine.  It pisses me off that I never hear any opinions about Ukraine from any American that express any regard at all for the people who actually live there.  Ninety nine out of 100 Americans could not tell you where the Donetsk People's Republic is on a map, and I would put ten bucks on that.  If anyone wants to get a microphone and go to a shopping mall to find out I will bet.  And I am not a gambling kind of guy.  For this I'll make an exception.

    It is morally reprehensible to have an opinion about any war unless you know what the fuck is actually going on where it is.  Generally Americans know nothing about Ukraine.  But knee-jerk-opinions about Ukraine are more common than blossoms on a spring cherry tree.  But when people are dying, ignorance is not neutral.  When people are dying, ignorance kills.

    And I consider Chris's position a bit soft.  He is afraid to piss off people too much about this IMHO.
