Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Erdogan struck a much harder bargain than I expected. Bastard.

Meh, that's about what I expected. I actually would like to see the U.S. do the same with the former Warsaw Pact countries and in return have them ship Ukraine the old MIGs that they have parts for. That was the plan all along but Blinken nd Austin got cold feet.

 

I'm sure this makes me the prick of the board but couldn't Griner have just gotten rid of her vaping stuff before trying to get through an airport in Russia?

 

She's been playing in Russia for years. Chances are she's had it with her before and they looked the other way, or equally possible that they're lying. Chances that this was the first and only time she ever tried to . With her? I would say low. Not sure why you're willing to accept that face value that Russia didn't plant this on her.

 

You're not a dick. She should have known better flying through Russia or someone should have reminded her.

It could also be she's done this before with her vape tucked away between some socks and the Russians never bothered to care until it became politically expedient for them to do so.

You see it too many times—especially with trust-fund idiots who don't realize being an entitled jackass American only works when you're in the US—with youths getting in trouble in Mexico. They go down thinking they're going to have fun and Mexico only puts up with it to a point. Then they're shocked, shocked, that they're not being treated like they do back home.

 

This was the plot twist in Gotcha! (1985) where the endlessly sexy Linda Fiorentino planted the microfilm on Anthony Edwards before he left the DDR. "Strudel. It's strudel."

 

She framed Peter Berg for rape in "The Last Seduction" too. A real badass.

 

I need to go find this movie.
