This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Russians do yes, but we aren't talking about your everyday citizen. We're talking about a madman that I'm convinced has lost it mentally.
Do we know he ever really had it. This is really the first time the West has been a United front vs him. Vlad has always been able to push just enough without the West pushing back hard.

Next time drop some likes along the way. It took me 5 hours to make that replica MIG29 art.
 
A no fly zone by NATO would be viewed as a declaration of war against Russia to be blunt. If you're prepared for nuclear war then let's do it because I'm convinced Putin is that unhinged. Are you prepared for nuclear war?

The Russian military is not going to let nukes happen. They have family and friends as well. Not all Russians are bad people. Just because Putin is a narcist like Trump, does not mean his staff is. I think WE have all been over analyzing this. Putin is a pussy. If he had any balls in the world he would not poison people, fake suicides, and subvert the public. He is going down one way or the other. I'm not worried about Nukes anymore, and neither should you.

If your kid is picked on every day to give away his allowance because he is larger than your kid, you just going to let him keep doing it?

The only way to deal with a bully, is bully them back. He has nothing. The only way to deal with a close talker as an attorney, is I lean right back into their face and talk back to them with facts. They..back..down.


I'm not suggesting attacking Russia. Let his people do that. But we should be providing air coverage for Ukraine. Everyone said Sadaam was crazy, and he did indeed have chemical weapons in 1991. He didn't use them, because he knew it would be the end of him. Bullies are pussies deep within that are trying to project power.


Would you take 6 shots at Putin with a .357 revolver if you were guaranteed to get away with it???


I think I would.

I wouldn't think twice about it. Serious. I would do it in a hear beat. Judge me all you want. And I would go to my death bed knowing I did the right thing. Some of you couldn't, and I don't judge you for that either.
 
It isn't surprising that the Russians are going into battle with old equipment, and food 7 years past it's expiration date. It's been mentioned several times in this thread. The Russian military has been hyped up, but it's riddled with corruption like the rest of Russia. The money to replace those rations was allocated, but somewhere along the way it went missing, and everyone from a low ranking supply officer, to the generals, to Putin himself got a cut of the graft.
When I see videos, and read articles that show the Russians have low morale I believe them.

If Putin is that unhinged, he may very well view what we have done to the Russian economy as a declaration of war.

I’m not sure what the right call is….but quivering in fear over his nukes is letting him win. We have them too, that’s the whole point of MAD.

The United States doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. And if we make every decision based on not making him mad will get us no where in the end. Russia has no right to be in Ukraine, any action like a no fly zone would be purely defensive. Whats the difference between this and Libya? I’d argue this would be more deserving of action….that was an internal conflict. This is not.

With Putin and the Ukraine invasion, it is almost like the Republicans stepped into a trap. You could see the trap from a mile away if you were paying attention. The Republicans were cheering on this vile tyrant as he attempts to destroy a peaceful country on his border, a democracy, and now they're going to own that decision.
In my opinion, this is going to be an important theme for the Democratic Party going into the 2022 and 2024 elections. The Tucker Carlsons, the Donald Trumps, the Mike Pompeos, they and other Republicans are going to have to own this issue because they are the reason that Russia launched this operation.
Putin could have done this at any time. The reason he acted now is not coincidental. Putin started building up his forces in the spring of 2021. This was weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Putin, like Trump, smells vulnerability and exploits it. Vladimir Putin perceived that the United States was distracted and vulnerable. He's been testing our resolve. He's been getting positive signals in that regard.
There is blood on the Republican Party's hands. They were partially responsible for what is happening in Ukraine. Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump were basically as popular on Russian TV as they are here in this country. They're constantly being played there. What is the impression given? The United States is divided, and there's an opportunity there. So these folks now own it.


Again: If we don't pay attention to how we got here, it's going to be a much longer haul to clean it up properly.

I think I would.
I wouldn’t hesitate.

If I was still single with no kids, I’d probably do it knowing I wouldn’t get away with it. But I’d at least try to negotiate an all-night orgy with a dozen or so of Ukraines finest women in exchange.
 
That is a very interesting angle.. the amount of bullshit troll/bot farm nonsense that is currently being cut off. I'm curious to see how much of that crap has suddenly stopped.

Fairly certain a couple were ****ing around here... which is pretty crazy since this is such an obscure site.

Obscure? Or just ahead of the curve.
 
I don't think it has that much to do with the GOP then it's bad actors sewing seeds of animosity via social media and other outlets. This really isn't a right vs. left thing, more how easily a lot of people are being manipulated into hating one another via the internet.
Hence my point. THAT is the cults disinformation platform 2015 to present.

I don’t think it is. We can ask @TomKakert what kind of traffic this board gets relative to the other rivals sites, but I’m pretty sure HROT might be one of the busier boards on the network. I genuinely do think this would be a good target for bots and trolls. Where would you expect to find a Russian troll? The comments section on a news site or on a sports message board? We read about these Russian troll farms with hundreds of employees cranking out disinformation all over the world. Is it that unheard of that there are two or three that put in 20 minutes a day here among the many other sites they’re on?

It's multi-targeted though man, it's not just the GOP falling for stuff, they know what pushes the lefts buttons to.

I had a job doing OSINT background checks for disability claims, I basically creeped people's social media for a couple years. Trust me, the left isn't any better with this shit then the right is.
 
To be honest, I don't know what the **** this place is most days. Must be something to it, I've been following this weirdoville since like '08.

Like-Woah got banned for telling Bubba D on the basketball board to "Eat a D"

I'm still pretty salty about that one.
U got banned for that? Brotha D most likely took it as a compliment.

Yeah, when you state it that way.. makes sense.

So...it's official, at leas 3 HROT members are willing to carry out said mission. My passport is expired, so I'll need one of you to forge one for me. I've seen movies, I know it can be done ;)

Can we let him bleed out for a while before we finish him? Proposal was that we are getting away with it. I'm sticking all his silverware up his ass and saying...."compliments of Bronson Pinchot"

Facebook leading views is literally 8 of 10 disinformation chambers. I agree but it's vastly in one sides favor.
