Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Coffeesforclosers replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
He's got a ton of stuff on Russian demographics, and they're ***** appalling. Russia has 144 million people, but only about 8 million of them are males aged 20-29. In comparison to say, the 1941 USSR, which had 180 million people, but 15 million active duty soldiers and reservists. -
Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Coffeesforclosers replied to Tiberius's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Right, so back to the topic Peter Zeihan on why May, 2023 will give us a decent idea of who's going to win the war. Zeihan is an analyst of macroeconomics and demographics. He's currently giving talks at major economic forums, Ft. Bragg, Ft. Benning, the US Army War College and a bunch of other places. His big claim to fame is that he predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine down to the year and month. To make a long story short. By May 2023, Ukraine will have had time to repair and refurbish the mountains of weapons it's captured from Russia. Russia will have had time to fortify its positions and flood Ukraine with poorly trained, badly lead, badly equipped cannon meat. So May is when we find out who wins, Ukrainian quality or Russian quantity. -
Protests Breaking Out Across China

I really hope you're right. Otherwise we're going to see Hong Kong style crackdowns at best. Xinjiang or Tiananmen Square level brutality at worst. -
Belichick can't stop Josh Allen. Belichick's best hope for stopping Josh Allen is Josh Allen's own bum elbow. The real wildcard is losing Dabol, a guy that knew the Pat's schemes, concepts, culture and tendencies like the back of his hand.

Bills at Lions - Post Game Thread
Coffeesforclosers replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hot take. This is all just 4D chess by McDermott to make the squad learn how to gut it out. Even when they ***** up, even when everyone is hurt. I hope. -

It does sound familiar, but I'm not quite ready to walk off a cliff yet... -

NATO said Poland was hit by a Ukrainian missile that malfunctioned. The real story took 18ish hours to figure out. -
I heard a story once about ancient China. Some sherriff out in the sticks had captured a bunch of criminals. He was waiting to turn them over to the emperor's officials. While he was waiting the prisoners escaped. The emperor's officials arrived and were not happy. So the sherriff asks the officials what the punishment for losing the criminals was. The officials said it was death. So he asked them what the punishment was for rebellion. They said it was death. So he started a rebellion.

The D is missing half a dozen starters and forced two goal line stands. The D did enough to win. -

Seems like the Russian withdrawal in Kherson is underway. Ukraine is snapping up a lot of territory very quickly, without much reported fighting. Edit: Now there's lots of chatter from sources on both sides that, somehow, Russian forces weren't ready to pull out. Russian troops are jamming up the crossing points along the Dnipro River and that panic is taking hold. Ukrainian forces are smashing crossing points with artillery, rockets and drones as they come into range to help things along. We'll know what's what in the next couple of days. -
The GOP has to keep ignoring Ron DeSantis because he's a threat to Trump. If they embrace him, Trump will go nuclear on the GOP. DeSantis' politics are the carefully polished, broadly palatable version of MAGA that the GOP needs to sweep national elections. But they don't dare use DeSantis because elevating him means DeSantis vs. Trump in a fight to the finish. Fox News looks like they're jumping hard on the DeSantis train following last night.
