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

I've been saying since this war began that the average Ukrainian looks nearly identical to most Badger fans. It's kind of uncanny.
It's a genocide but we can't call it that because we need to work out a deal with Vlad and re-open the newly expanded Russian market.

Nah, his in depth knowledge of west Davenport dive bars is legit.Me only now just realizing that Whiskey is just another dadgum alt troll account started less than 2 years ago by the same angry attention whore troll who started all those other angry alt accounts I blocked.
But if you've as spent much time in the aforementioned hives of scum and villainy as I have, you would understand why he is the way he is.

Why doesn't SHE run for president? That is a Republican I could support. (sorry for the political post, but it seems only the conservative posters cry about that and most of them probably like Condi so I should be fine.)
Definitely, considering the Patriot may not deserve its early reviews:

During the 1991 Gulf War, the American public was informed that the Patriot missile had a near-perfect record, intercepting a total of 45 out of 47 Scud missiles.
This estimate was later revised down by the US army to about 50 percent. Even then, it noted "higher" confidence in only about 25 percent of the cases.
A Congressional Research Service employee commented that if the US army had consistently and accurately applied its assessment method, the number would be far lower. Reportedly, this number was one Scud missile shot down.
Following a House Committee on Government Operations investigation, not enough evidence was found to conclude that there had been any interceptions at all.

Another interesting perspective. This is a "gift" link, so should work for all. You're welcome
Western surrender is days away. Of course, we won't call it that. It will be a "brokered peace" or some other corporate feel good term.
Russian markets will soon reopen and we can return to normal, living comfortably and making money. Few in the west knew where Ukraine was two months ago. In a few months all of this will be forgotten. BAU

Take with a grain of salt, as it's in The Sun, but here is a story on that Canadian sniper dude:

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
During a long drive today I found myself wondering about the supply of Javelin missiles as I caught updates on NPR. I found this article, and though the supply is good, the burn rate of the arsenal is pretty high. More troubling is that we are not upgrading our replacement / supply. There is also an Iowa tie in. The warheads are manufactured in SE Iowa and the munitions plant has seen portions of it mothballed, and updates pushed down the road. Dave Loebsack pushed to get funding, but decades of decline are affecting production.
Also, is it crazy to think that Russia could pull off an attack to cripple US production?

Global warming is out of control.
I’m all for sanctions and shunning Russia but this is dumb lol
This is unsustainable. Russian manufacturing is almost entirely down.

I dunno. Lower right looks like an em-50
. Not likely that Russia is capable of replacing their equipment. The time and cost to build a tank has got to be a whole different level. Everything I see that they are using is Soviet era armor.
Here's the war criminal who lied us into a 20 year war and presided over one of the largest economic crashes of all time back in 2001

That's a fair point, but I am also thinking of the development and procurement aspects the article brings up. It's a pretty long timeline. And, what if the North Koreans decided to come over the DMZ?
The fact that she doesn’t want to be president instantly moves her to the top of my list.
And chemical weapons are considered just one step below nuclear weapons. If used will this bring in the West?
I hope that after 60 years of a constant state of war footing in South Korea, that they have everything thing there already as far as prepositioned equipment to mount a defense. Nonetheless I have no issue with modernization of the Middletown operation.
They are already killing citizens, children, etc and no one does anything. Outside of dropping a nuke on Ukraine or bombing an ally, we aren’t doing anything about it. I doubt chemical attacks would change that
Actually, I do think breaking that norm would force a few of the nations on the sidelines to make a choice. Even China would have a tough time ignoring large scale use of gas.
You want me to exhume 5 or 6 Bill Clinton quotes about Putin after he came to power? No, I didn't think so. Keep the thread out of the political gutter then...
McCain, again, on Putin. He was one of the few who, eventually, got this right. Condi Rice, also in this video, continued to get it wrong.
Part of me wants to laugh. The other part of me thinks they will be driven by saboteurs blending into the general population.
