    His troops are quitting on him, the ones who don’t quit are going to be involved in house-to-house combat in urban areas, he’s resorting to paying Belorussians and Chechens to do the dirty work. Putin would be happy to drop some nukes to show his “manliness.” Waiting for the CPAC types to defend him then.

    We've always represented it only out of convenience. Too much support for dictators/Saudis in our history to say we consistently represent all that good stuff.

    Nuclear states aren't fucked with militarily. It's why some places want them.

    Wonder where it would fall to without propping up. It's at 83.5 now, and that's as bad as I 've seen it. Hard to believe it was 23-24 the last time I was there.

    There’s always W’s cringeworthy quote.

    Had an odd exchange with a co-worker yesterday - I say hello and start chatting about some work stuff and he said "we're about to get nuked and you're chatting about work stuff?" He's a good 15 years younger than me - told him that I forgot this was his first taste of the Cold War and how we used to duck and cover - until we got desks you couldn't duck and cover under and we all realized we'd be toast anyway Ah, elementary school. I still don't think those are half as terrifying as the "active shooter" drills school kids have to deal with today. Anyway, the exchange with my co-worker was interesting, because I'll bring up current events all the time and he won't pull his face away from his phone watching tik-tok videos or checking out memes his friends send him - but the Ukraine thing he was up on So anyway, be conscious of our younger generations who never had to ponder nuclear war - be grateful they've lived a charmed life until now, but understand they may be a bit jittery.

    In that case, it’s clearly a bluff.

    And Kazakhstan turned down his request for assistance.

    The snapshot of CNN as referenced above is misleading.

    CNN has plenty of boots on the ground in Ukraine and Poland and other hotspots.

    Yes they have a lot of studio analysis with generals and military types and such but they are doing the heavy lifting of reporting.

    Do you know what snapshot means? I turn on the TV this morning to see what was happening in Ukraine and CNN had people sitting at the desk. They have live coverage now And they do have some good reporters on the ground. But at that moment when America was waking up, it was pundits in the studio. Just a snapshot.
    Please explain how a snapshot of a moment in time while I'm spending 5 minutes looking for Ukraine news is inaccurate. It is not inaccurate.
