1984Echoes

I saw that... Erdogan pointedly asked: "If we get invaded will you think about us too?"

Like Josef Stalin?

There was a huge uncertainty factor with Vladdie as well, when he first came to power. After 2014, that uncertainty was completely gone. In 2022, Putin has gone WAY over the line. We are not repeating 2014.

Russia never filed the paperwork. Kick them out. On a paperwork technicality would also be hilarious. And it's true. Proper paperwork was never filed for Russia after the demise of the Soviet Union.

Because it is all Putin.

How soon can we get this palace coup please?

I've been fever dreaming this would happen for the past couple of hours...

Russia is bringing in thermobaric missiles to exterminate Kyivans.

I wouldn't shed tears over those outcomes either...

My buddy's wife is from Kherson. Kherson controls the water supply into Crimea and is a heavy target by Russian forces. Kherson is on the west side of the Dnieper River. Ukrainian forces have so far held off Russian attackers from being able to get over the bridge from the Crimean side (east) of the Dnieper to the Kherson side.

Yes. That would bankrupt Trump though.

He's not going that low (66).

The Big Bang Anti-Tank Weapon, some assembly required... If I'm in Kyiv with one of these... it would work for me...

Carolina Hurricanes, 36-11-4, 18-7-2 AWAY ESPN+ 3/1 7:30 PM Detroit Red Wings, 23-24-6, 15-11-3 HOME How can our Goalies get some inspiration here... to start playing good again?

"Layaway..." That's actually pretty damn funny!

And he's losing all those $200 billions that he stashed away overseas: (Tim Rowland's a good writer from the Miami Herald, mostly opinion in here but it's a good, blunt, article about Putin): https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/story/opinion/2022/01/30/putin-predictable-child-whose-brother-getting-attention/9240556002/

I would love to give Putin a figurative (well, actually literal... but I think we will just have to do with figurative...) heart attack. Poland invades Byelorussia and makes it all the way to Minsk in an attempt to evict Lukashenko. WWPD?

Strategic loss.

Hronek has his problems... But... would anyone make an overpay for him in the trade deadline market? Just asking...

Damn!!!

The BOOT-LICKING of Putin by Trump and his minions has gone way, way, WAY beyond DISGUSTING/ CONTEMPTIBLE/ GROTESQUE.

Scum, more Scum, and nothing but Scum.

Pure White Trash Scum.

"...very bad feeling about this" looks about right...

I'm not going to think about this... But if it happens, I will applaud. I don't want to get my hopes up. But also because it won't tell us what is the future direction of a New Russia?
