I'm gonna play devil's advocate here for a moment and ask what the correct outcome here would have been? I had never heard any gameplan for success on Ukraine except that the more the Russians destroy, the more contracts there are for western companies to rebuild, and defense contractors to add to the GDP of foreign nations. I'm wide open to ideas here, but outside of the most goofy "Fuck Putin" rhetoric, was there any outcome where the Russians were going to turn tail and go home? I think we all have a hard time accepting Trump delivering the most merciful outcome, but lets put that aside for a moment.

So they cut out all the other autocrats? The only people with skin in this game are the Ukrainians (and even the Russians), so big middle finger to all these sycophants who are suddenly holier than thou. Who did they think was pulling the strings all along? Go on, kiss the ring, you know you want to.

I don't know. I wasn't commenting. Just reporting.

Vice President Trump doesn't like kids. Most people just laugh that kind of stuff off. I watched that segment a few times, and he was telling Vice President Trump to (paraphrasing) calm the fuck down. Kids are awesome.

That was Elon speaking through his son. A 4-year old doesn't come up with that on their own. Goes to show how that dipshit talks to his son.

But other than that, very good. Drive a stake in to Donnie The Page's heart. Hit his ego.

About Russia: If USA would've sided with Ukraine in time Putin would've lost his grip on his country when the cost of war gets too high. There is apparently some democratic rumbling happening in Mother Russia, but if Putin gets another "win" it might turn the tide once again. Being a border neighbours with Russia it makes us tad nervous.

It's my understanding that the Danish are quite racist. I've only met one Dane, and he definitely was.
I would say, the plural of anecdote isn’t data but in this case I’d say the singular.

I would have thought referring to trump as first lady would have had the bigger impact.
