Of course you're right legally, not to mention morally and ethically. But I have a feeling like your about to get an education on how the America First! Agenda doesn't really care about the Constitution as it relates to ratified treaties.

Meh. It's the sort of pragamtism based hypocrisy I've come to expect from an elected official. DeSantis was for arming Ukraine back in 2014 so he could beat Obama over the head as a weak appeaser. Now he's against it in 2023 because GOP primary voters are increasingly against it and he needs to drive wedges into Trump's base. There's no deep thinking here. Just short term politics driving short term strategy. This is the heart of why we lose.

Politico: Trump prepares an extensive opposition file on ‘Ron DeSanctimonious’ So Trump is preparing to hit DeSantis as soft on child porn, among other things. His point is to show DeSantis is Jeb Bush with a thin veneer of MAGA paint, while totally not gaslighting that DeSantis is soft on child grooming.

*shrugs* I'll be worried about it when there's more to worry about.

First Prize... Is a Cadillac El Dorado.

Please use your wit and wisdom to explain this to All Pro. He's utterly convinced that Russia is waging a crusade against some global order run by Zelensky, Boris Johnson, and a lady named Cynthia Nuland.

Eh, this is where Tayyep Erdogan would step in. Were he not fighting for his political life because his political party took bribes and kickbacks instead of enforcing building codes. Or doing disaster relief. And 60,000 Turks died. Israel too, except they're drowning in domestic turmoil. Or China, but Xi's leadership has been so weak and so milquetoast on the Ukraine issue it's been a year and they still don't know what to do. Also ditto the turmoil. India just hosted a diplomatic summit where Russia's foreign minister was laughed out of the room on camera. And they're still getting bribed by everyone to not help anyone else. Ka-ching! Well played, India. Russia, for some reason, can't just take an L and live to fight another day. Because they're Really, Totally, For Real Guys, fighting a Nazi Satanist Globalist Warmongering American Hegemony or some other gibberish that comes with a useless liberal arts masters degree. We're happy to dump money and weapons into Ukraine for as long as Ukraine is willing to turn our support into dead Russians. Europe is split between countries who were occupied by Russia and justly hate them. And countries that are now scared of Russia but would really like this all to go away so they can get back to making money. It's an odd world.

Colin Powell...I wonder how history would have changed had Colin Powell run for President in 1996 instead of Bob Dole. Anyyyyyway...

Pass. TD Phins Talk is a Dolphins YouTuber with about 25k subs. That barely registers when it comes to "influencer" status. If none of the Dolphins beat reporters are saying anything, there's nothing going on. He just had a kid too, so if he wrangles another couple thousand subs off the rumor mill, good for him and his side hustle.

The video starts with the line "It's day 373 of Vladimir Putin's 10 Day Special Military Operation..." and moves on in the same spirit. Sky's not exactly being sympathetic to Putin. The battles for Bakhmut are winding down, Russia's going to take the city as expected. Nobody knows why they want it so badly but hey, they're getting it so bully for them?

Twitterbrain is real. Were I Russia, I'd want to stop this war as quickly as possible. Usually when global diplomats are laughing in the face of your foreign minister...in public...it means you've lost respect. Certainly nobody laughed at Russia before this war started. But they do now. Even Colin Powell's bogus bull#### on Iraq and WMDs was received with more dignity that Lavrov's moralizing talking points.

I really wish I could disagree with this. And ***** off with that Reagan worshipping bull####. I'm a Union man and Reagan can go straight to hell.

I'm an old school republican. I want limited government, reformed institutions, and a country that works for its citizens. I don't need a revolutionary party that smashes everything it deems to be corrupt. There is no party of limited government left. Just parties of activists playing to our base instincts and the internet age's addiction to outrage and instant gratification.

If you can't run'em up, the fill'em in! I wonder if this means McDermott's bringing in Jerrod Mayo? I think NE is running a 3-3-5 base defense, where one of the LBs is actually more a old school Strong Safety type player.

This was informative, but not in the way you intended. The first entity to say Keir Simmons was put on a hit list is Russia Today. A news corporation financed directly from Russian Government revenues. The only entities reporting Russia Today's "hit list" story are twitter accounts and susbtack authors. Like the twitter account and substack you posted. kanekoa happily retweets Michael Flynn, without commentary or analysis. So your source retweets Russia Today and Michael Flynn uncritically, while adding subtle digs that align with RT propaganda. This isn't earth shaking information. This isn't investigative journalism. This is literally how message amplification propaganda works, step-by-step.

Nuanced opinions? Come now sir, don't you realize this is the Internet?

George Pataki would have beat Hochul by 30pts. There just aren't any George Patakis left.

The beginning of the the end for the hard shell exterior helmet.

The comment section on the powerline op/ed was pure gold. Thanks for that!

Well, generally everyone posting in this thread is pro-Ukraine and pro-Peace. Where we differ in is in what peace looks like, and the sort of role America should play in reaching it. We've also got some serious cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome and AltRight QAnon Twitter brain. But that's the internet these days so what are gonna do right?

r/Combatfootage is a good place to start. Telegram is full of pro-Russian/"Z" channels. Try WarGonzo, Rybar, Geroman and Strelnikov/Igor Girkin. WarGonzo actually lost part of his foot while embedded with Russia forces.

Yeah, BigBlitz earned his spot on my ignore list. It's just a firehose of tweeted bull####.

https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-says-its-open-some-parts-china-ceasefire-proposal-2023-02-24/ Highlights on Zelensky's response to China's proposal: -He doesn't think it's a plan, just a list of points, some of which he thinks are ok. The article doesn't say which ones. -He says that any peace plan that doesn't come with a full Russian troop withdrawal is DOA. -He's got a meeting with Xi Jinping coming up, and China providing arms to Russia is a very serious issue that will be discussed. The rest I leave to you guys, it's a short read.

Totally agree. If this summary is accurate, all China did with this flim flam proposal is announce how they'd like to see the war resolved. And how the resolution of the war could best align with China's interests. It's such a naked wishlist of China and Russia's best outcomes given current circumstances, you'd almost think it's a fake.

It's not a snarky response. You're a guy with an opinion on the internet, you said you're not an expert, and you didn't post any evidence. So I stopped reading.
