Are you saying Ukraine would be one of the three major world superpowers if it had nukes? I hope that loop is playing around the clock at the Obama compound. How embarrassing for him. I got caught up wishing we had 8 years of Romney instead of any years of Obama or Trump yesterday. What a better country we would live in.

His Covid policy was 100% the right one. But unlike you, I'm not afraid to have a spine and call him a dick and wrong when he is. The other side is bullying kids so now I'm gonna bully kids. About right for a guy with whose logic gets pasted into his head from Twitter.

You support the bold statement that there are three primary superpowers and one is Russia? I don't take exception to China and the US but to include Russia is like the old Sesame Street game. One of these kids does not belong here. Russia is a third rate economy with a second rate army plus nukes.

That's very Russian of her.

At first because they thought he was joking. Then he kept on pointing his finger at them and being a dick. How about just show up, shake some hands. Enjoy the kids. Maybe also not show an ignorance of history. Then he should finger point and be a dick to the school.

Well, you just posted an article that said the world is dominated by Russia as a primary superpower.

As usual, you've got a simple mind. The article can stop being read at this quote, "Russia, China and the U.S. are the only true superpowers and the only three countries that ultimately matter in geopolitics." Russia is a shell and as much as it's the US vs. China, we're mutually dependent on each other. If China and Russia want to form a two country trade alliance at the exclusion of the EU and the US, good luck with that. And even China doesn't want that.

That's some presidential candidate? I thought it was about choice and you were all for choice. Guess not.

I agree with his policies but he looks like a total douche nozzle here scolding kids for exercising their choice. And assuming they were wearing good masks, it can make a big difference. Just comes across like an ass.

Are you making my point on purpose? Or is your stupidity accidental?

Agreed--read that thread this morning.

Depending on what "take over" means, 15 days is probably right if it means occupy many Kyiv government buildings and install (weird Al?) Yanukovych who can puppet from some fortified Kyiv bunker.

Cute (by the way I have all mentions blocked, so it's not about tagging me...I don't get an alert when it happens). Still don't care. If his comment is worth responding to, it will get responses. So far he's posted the exact same thing twice. The second time he tagged 10 people. It's immature. Feel free to encourage him. Quote a collection of Russian supporters. Syria, Eritrea, North Korea, BElarus. I see very little coverage of the fact that today's peace talks were postponed. That's terrible news. I suspect Russia wants to bomb the cities more and try to build leverage.

Don't really care. Tagging 10 people in a thread we're all active in is childish attention-craving behavior.

Slight difference between birth control and these interventions, or are you not honest enough to understand that? Kids and choose any pronoun they want, dress how they want...I don't even care what bathroom anyone uses. But I don't think permanent irreversible elective actions should be undertaken by and on children. Wait until 18.

Enough is enough is right. Maybe let's not let children get elective surgery and hormone injections. Why? For the same reasons we prohibit them from drinking. They lack good judgment. And society has picked 18 as the moment when a child becomes an adult (sorry JBoyst). When they are 18, have a party.

Didn't see empty seats at the 0 degree NE playoff game. I think it's all going just fine.

I see one person here advocating US military involvement in Ukraine and few people advocating for it in the media. Turn down the hype machine. I am a firm believer in the evils of the military industrial complex but ours and NATO's current position of restraint is firm. It may be tested by Russian actions in Ukraine and out of it. We will see. What are you 12? Stop tagging people moran. If you post something worthy of response, people will respond to it.

City shelling picking up today. I think Putin was trying to avoid this but now is amping it up since it didn’t come easy. Police and other targets getting hit. Meanwhile at home…

It is strange for sure. Syria waves hello. Is it because Europe > Middle East. Asia, Africa to Americans? Something else?

No. I found this quote from Kennedy about Khrushchev kind of alarming though. Right in the middle of the Cuban Missile crisis, Kennedy said, "This is genius. How smart is that? And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper, that’s the strongest peace force." Got that wrong, sorry. That was Lincoln talking about Jefferson Davis after Chancellorsville.

No. They one quote from Feb. 23 is terrible. But they are also not ex-Presidents. See the difference? Can you link me to where you're critical of Tokyo Rose Tucker? I missed that. Do you think an ex-President and some columnist are the same?

Putin very much wants European acceptance. He does not want isolation. If he wanted to just own Ukraine, he would be much less discriminate in his city bombing. Make no mistake. The cities could be getting hit worse. He’s trying to walk a line that allows Russia to return to normal economic relations.

Should we bend the knee to China? Most people with a backbone would say no but I guess you differ.
