Ukraine Always Get What You Want

Where the fork does Putin's superyacht go? He's got to be too paranoid to leave the protective cone of either the Black Sea or Baltic fleets.

Million dollar boat the length of three basketball courts. It's more important that he has one than where it goes.

It's billionaire deckmeasuring.

Kaliningrad. It didn't vanish, it moved.

I won't say there are none, because there's always idiots out there, but I haven't heard a single major right-wing talking head saying Putin is in the right here and that war in the Ukraine would be a good thing.

Tucker Carlson has had an erection over this for months.

If the Russians make a move there, I wonder if Orban in Hungary will seize the opportunity to do something.

I've posted this a few weeks ago in another thread, but I honestly can't fathom what Putin's end game is. I really can't. It's 2022. States land-grabbing another state are so last century. When the oligarchs who run Russia get cut off from their money in the West, they aren't going to be happy with Vladdy.

As an old Cold Warrior, though, I would be lying if I said I'm not glad we are back to hating on the proper people instead of religious zealots in the forking desert.

If the money in the west gets cut off, Putin will unleash the cyber thugs to crash the entire western financial system. Would he succeed? He'd sure try.

And on that note, this Obama take has aged like sun-ripened milk.

It's aged poorly because Trump is a Russian ashet.

"Russian forces are on the brink of capturing Kiev as Putin is set to make a public statement ... and there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 Reds lead ..."

To what end would Russia crash the Western economy? It's not like Russia, China, and NK can be a triumvirate of whatever and sustain their economies.

It was in for upgrades, adding a couple of observation decks and expanding the swimming deck. Left abruptly before things were done a couple of days ago, moved into Russian territorial waters.

'Putin's superyacht' abruptly left Germany amid sanctions warnings

So he can see Russia from there?

How reasonable is it that we could wake up one morning and have our accounts emptied through hacking?

Or that hackers can shut down our banking system and demand an insane ransom?

Maybe I've been doing too many drugs lately.
