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.

I appreciate the humor.  Not sure he would, but it is funny. 


And,

I notice a lot of bullshit videos claiming Ukraine is 'owning' Russia.  The dial has been turned up.

Shades of Russel Bentley!


This takes rebellion against your father to a whole new level. lol.  Most kids are good with just doing drugs or dating a brown person of the same sex.

Son of CIA deputy director was killed while fighting for Russia, report says

Russia is pushing hard into Ukraine.  Trump gave Russia the green light.  Trump's goal was to get half of Ukraine for himself, Zelenskyy having no cards, but that is another story.

The way things are going there will be no meat on the turkey.  Only the bones of dead men.

" Say Vlad, If me and Vance trash Zelenskyy in the white house you will keep the war shit in your pants for a while right?

" Sure Don, no problem.

And now what, Russia rolls in.  Who woulda thunk it.
