No. They already hold all the land that they need to to control the land bridge that they want from Russia to Crimea. Except Mariupol, which they will eventually take. They also control just west of Crimea, all the way to Kherson, which means they control the water supply into Crimea. They will try to expand northward from the coastal strip around Crimea... of course. Also, it is not a problem to rebuild the forces they've pulled from Kiev area into Byelorussia, and ship them over to the Eastern Ukraine/ Western Russia border (right above Donbass) and concentrate on just this one area (north of Crimea coastal strip and west of the Donbass to the Dnieper River. They units won't be what they once were, and they may only have half of those units... but they can still win some territory with numbers. There's a lot of open land between the Russian border above the Donbas and the Dnieper River. That's not where Ukraine wins. They win in built up areas/ cities/ dense suburbs, etc... And... Ukraine does not have enough offensive weapons to take this land back. They have mostly defensive weapons. Unless we (NATO countries, maybe even the US) can get them the MIG's that they want, and tanks and APC's and mobile artillery, they won't be able to make any significant gains against the Russians... Whatever land Russia is able to take, they will most likely be able to hold.

OK, fine, she gets Putin as President. Deport her and all other Trump Supporters that make this choice, including Donald MF'ing Trump and his brood. Their choice. They want Putin, they can have him for the next 25 years... IN Russia. They can send us their report after 25 years and tell us how much they loved their life under Adolph "Murderer of Women and Children" MF'ing Putin.

Before the next Senate electors are seated, Biden will still have the majority, 51-50. And if the Dems somehow hold onto the Senate after the 2022 elections, they will still have their 51-50 majority... save any Dem Senator deaths/ early retirements in a Republican controlled state. I specifically stated that in my next post.

You don't seem to understand what I am stating. KBJ will get some Republican support because she's replacing a liberal judge. The SCOTUS Nominee to replace Clarence Thomas, if Biden chooses, will get ZERO Republican support so it better be a centrist juror. There's no appeasement there. That's just political reality.

If they don't win the Senate back, yes, Biden will be able to get a candidate through. And before the next election winners are seated in the Senate, yes, he will be able to get a candidate through. I specifically stated this.

PS: The House doesn't matter in SCOTUS... Senate only... if Dems can hold the Senate in 2022 (a major struggle...) they can still seat Supremes.

Biden will need a non-controversial centrist type judge then... As long as Manchin & Sinema are on board they'll be able to get that person through the nomination...

So scumdouchery runs in the family?

If he's still there in the 6th round, I may, or may not, be interested... But not before then.

After Ukraine, they are the next ones exposed, along with Moldova, to Russian expansionism. I say follow their lead... a complete shutdown of trade relations with Russia. Germany won't turn off the gas spigot though. They can't. Not without crashing their own economy. But I'm all for taking the absolute harshest measures possible with them... Kick them out of the G20, out of WTO, out of most favored nation, out of the UNSC, a complete shutdown of trade relations, send 50-75 Polish & Romanian MIG's to Ukraine along with all other Soviet era tanks, APC's, etc.... I think the US and a couple others kicked them out of MFN status... can we get more? Following the Baltics/ Polish lead...?

That's a torrential downpour of koolaid... One could drown in that much koolaid...

We could give them Killian...

They never filed the paperwork for Russia. It's so easy...

Damn he just towers over everyone...

The US/ EU/ World needs to declare the Russian Administration (Putin), and thereby the Russian state, a terrorist organization/ state.

I have a passion for reading history, heavily in European histories... And I have a 30 year personal history... Including neighbors and friends and... Plus, my ex-wife is Russian and Ukrainian (that's the 30 years part). I probably have somewhat of a unique viewpoint in here...

Second game not any better than the first game.

Exactly... What kind of name is D-R-U-M-P-F? Fascist?

Maybe I have a cheat, since I live in the midst of large Russian and Ukrainian populations in the greater NYC area, and count many friends... But I knew Ukraine was ready to fight... every man, woman, and child in Ukraine (within reason), against Russian aggression. The Ukrainians are still enraged over 2014. Note also: Not joking about Ukrainian women. They currently make up approximately 17-20% of armed forces fighting against Russia. That's counting resistance fighters, not just regular armed forces, or support forces. And this was never a legitimate thing in Ukraine. Like I said, almost to a man/ woman/ child... they are 99.9% against any Russian incursion. Russian or Ukrainian speaking... doesn't matter.

Like SNL? The problem with US politics today is not trivialization. It's the F.U. politics as generated/ practiced by the Tea Party Republicans, white trash bigots, Trump and his fascist followers; preceded/ inspired by Limbaugh/ Buchanan/ Gingrich and the like. The American proletariat have always had a simple-minded understanding of politics. The trivialization is self-inflicted and ever-present. Not requiring Maher or SNL's influence. It's just there... like the WWE, monster trucks, and Nascar.

I don't follow or watch him much. Pretty close to nil... but I do tune in now and again. I don't mind his humor for the most part. His complaints on the Democrats are not wrong. Or at least the ones I've heard.

WR1? at 5' 8" 180 and 4.44 speed? This is sarcasm, right?

Which reminds me: How the Fuck is Trump not behind bars for 20+ years? I'm freaking floored by the very thought...

The problem is no one will have to answer for these war crimes. As long as the war criminals remain behind Fortress Russia... They will get away with these murders.
