Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

 

Yeah, I don't follow his posts so don't know how this rates on any weird-o-meter. But equating what Germany did militarily as an outlet for unemployment is ... well, inaccurate is one word that comes to mind.

 

Trenton and Central New Jersey in general has a large Ukrainian population.
Coincidentally, Trenton's Ukrainian community purchased what was once the home of Napoleon Bonaparte's brother and turned it into a cultural center and social headquarters.

My grandmother's house was right in front of this place. You could walk to it from her backyard. The yard opened up into this huge field and it felt like the mansion was a mile away when it was probably only a couple hundred yards down a long driveway. We were always told to stay away from it — probably to keep an eye on us and keep us out of trouble — but it added this weird mystery to the place. There are supposedly miles-long tunnels underneath it that connect to another house that Joseph Bonaparte owned in Bordentown. It had the feel of a haunted house when in reality it was probably an office building.
I grew up seeing the place and never got within a hundred yards of it. Next time I'm in Trenton I almost want to go in there to finally say I did.

 

Did you get your rent?

 

Thanks for posting that. I've started reading the articles linked, and it is a good site for such things.

 

Yeah and some fucking moron told me I had my head in the sand because it didn’t bother me that it happened while Biden is “hiding in the basement “

A cliché is a cliché because it’s not true.

 

Since when does Li'l Marco know shit about military hardware and troop movements?

 

You're welcome.
Tyler Rogoway used to run a similar site in the Deadspin/Gawker universe that was one of the few apolitical and interesting things to read over there. He did a good job breaking down the war in Syria a few years back and really seems to know his stuff. The commenters add a lot of insight as well. He's got a lot of like-minded, knowledgeable readers that offer good information without letting it devolve into political pissing matches. If you have any interest in military matters or machinery at all, it's a good place to learn something.
It's a high, high recommend any time, and especially for situations like this.

 

Not due until Tuesday. But thanks for your deep concern.

 

That could mean World War III. Is he THAT crazy?

 

Seriously?
He's an active two-term U.S. Senator who is on the Intelligence and Foreign Relations committees. He's the vice chairman of the former. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he has access to information and knows what he's talking about.
