I'm just trying to help people gain some knowledge so they know what they're talking about. Its hard to argue a position if you don't.

No doubt that Putin and the Ruskies are committing war crimes. Big question is what is going to be done about it? Nothing will be. If it goes to the UN, China and Russia won't approve any punishment or even an admonishment. If US or NATO strikes back in retailiation we will be in a nuclear war. The time to stop Putin was before this even started. We were way to weak to do that and Putin took advantage of it.

I don't think Americans new what Hitler and the Nazis were about in 1938. I believe it wasn't until 1941 or 42 that the first reports of the mass murder of Jews. Once Hitler showed his true colors and everyone found out what the Nazi were doing, they changed their tune.

I've read several reports where this invasion is much more difficult than the Russians planned. What happens if Ukraine holds off the Russians? Putin will look like a fool so does he escalate and go with bigger weapons with more destruction? Does he break out the nuclear weapons? He seems unhinged right now with all his threats so anything is possible. I also wonder what the long game is for the NATO and EU leaders. The Russian aggression, violence and war crimes can't be brushed aside. How will they deal with Putin when this is over? We may not be at war right now but this is the most dangerous time this country has seen in my lifetime. One misstep by Russia or the allied countries and we are in the middle of a nuclear war.

Sorry if my comment was confusing, I didn't mean we should take the book as fact. I was using it as an example in case you read it or wanted to. It was known the Soviets were running schools for KGB in the 60's through the 90's, and maybe earlier, to train people to blend into society of other countries.

You should read Charm School by Nelson Demille. Its a very good book and considered a work of fiction but its based off a lot facts. I don't think Soviets has ever admitted to having these schools but its very likely they did during the Soviet days. Since Putin is an old school communist I wouldn't be surprised if they are still doing something similar.

I was just trying to help and in a way paying a complement. Years ago I saw a saying that stuck with me. It was: "Ignorance can be educated and Mental illness can be medicated but you can't fix stupid." I learn new things everyday so I thought I would help some of you learn something to help you in the future.

Rubio is correct that something is off with Putin, but he’s been off for a long time. Putin has been waiting to make his move for some time. He took Crimea under weak foreign policy during the Obama years and is now moving on Ukraine under an even weaker US administration. This is why national security is the most important issue we ever face as a country. If we don’t have national security we don’t have to worry about the rest of the little things because we won’t have a country. Ukraine might not be the “big” problem. It could very well be the start of a much larger one. You probably caught it in the news yesterday but Putin has threatened Sweden and Finland with the same fate as Ukraine if they join NATO. He is also telling NATO countries to remove their troops from certain countries. Putin is challenging the US like never before and that’s because we have extremely weak leadership. China will be next to challenge the US. The writing is on wall with their vote in the UN yesterday. With their vote to abstain condemning the Russian aggression shows where they stand. They should have just voted in favor of Russia because that’s what they did by abstaining. By the way, the UN is a joke when one country can veto something that every other country votes for. The vote yesterday was shot down with a single vote from Russia. Why the hell was Russia even allowed a vote? For all of you that think this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue you should think again. This is about a very weak administration not only getting tested but getting their asses handed to them. Putin is making a statement to Biden and pretty much telling him to take a knee. There are plenty of Democrats and Republicans who have and can stand up to Putin. Biden isn’t one of them. This isn’t all Biden’s fault either. It’s the fault of the Democrat party for running him and the people that voted for him that thought a demented and senile man could lead the free world. At least we don’t have mean tweets anymore.

I don't know how anyone can fault Truman for dropping two nuclear bombs on Japan. Dropping those bombs saved countless American lives and ended WWII.

The weakness of Biden is responsible for Putin's actions. This isn't the end either. China will be next to test the US. Its scary to think we could be looking at a major war and we have a vegetable in the White House.

I saw this article and it made me think of you folks... https://www.vedderholsters.com/news-articles/whats-the-difference-between-clip-and-magazine/

I don't know what more they could have done to lose games. They put a team on the field that wasn't even a good AAA team. I understand the aspects of a rebuild but the Tigers didn't have to completely destroy the team to rebuild. They could have kept a few "building blocks" and added to it. They got very little for the trades they made of the veterans. An expansion team could have started better than the rebuilding Tigers did. Its not a good look for a team and horrible for the loyal fans.

Brad Ausmus wanted us to think it was Andrew Romine.

I thought I would stop by because I was curious if you guys supported the Freedom Truckers or not. I don't know of any of my liberal friends who don't support them but I'm not surprised to see they have no support here. They are demonstrating what a peaceful protest actually is. I suppose that if antifa and blm were "protesting" by blowing up the Ambassador Bridge they would find support here. I find it funny that Whitmer is complaining about workers losing their jobs and business shutting down. You didn't hear a peep from her or her comrades about business being destroyed, people losing not only their jobs but their livelihood because of the antifa and blm rioting throughout the country. We need to replace this facist regime in the White House and the State of Michigan.

I don't care one way or another on the lottery. I hope it will stop teams from intentionally tanking like the Tigers did. I'm good with the universal DH. AL teams were at a big disadvantage in interleague play.

Good lord you're delusional. Im going to take a break from this socialist oasis for a while. Your comments and opinions here are so off base and in left field its not even close to being realistic. One thing I have learned here is the mindset it took to vote for Biden and be willing to sacrifice our country for it.

Let me guess...you think this based on protest your party calls a coup or insurrection for political reasons. Democrats want to give Iran ability to have nuclear weapons, don't beleive in law and order, lie to the American people to impeach a POTUS, make false accusations to hurt a SCOTUS candidate, ignore open borders, ignore national security threats so the dont offend our enemy, want to create new voting laws so they will never lose another election, want to seperate people by the color of their skin and this is just a start. This list could go on and on. Some of the comments here show just how uniformed some people are. It no wonder this country is deteriorating so fast.

Action speak louder than words.

It sounds like a democrat rally speach here. Lets support the foreigners who don't like us before we protect the American citizens. Ilhan omar would be proud.

Yes and I'm not impressed.

I will add that in those countries there were a lot a large demonstrations with the people chanting things like "death to America." Are those really the people you want here?

Again it wasn't a muslim ban, it was only certain countries that want to do us harm. I wouldn't blindly trust anyone from those countries so best they stayed out of US. It made the US safer.

It doesn't seem like going after Trump is a smart move for the dems. After four years of failure from Biden/Harris the dems chance of winning reelection in 2024 is slim to none. Their best chance of winning is against Trump. So pushing him out of the race is the best thing for the Republican party.

Tater likes to call Republicans racist but its his democrat party that divides people by race. If you think a muslim travel ban is racist you should think again. Our biggest threats to national security is from muslim countries. A muslim travel ban is for national security and protects you and me and our families. The Biden admin doesn't care about that so they dropped the travel ban. Also it wasn't from all muslim countries, only certain ones that pose a threat. People like playing politics with lies to make it seem like it was a total muslim ban.

I can't do anything about spineless GOP. I also think a lot of them are. They need backbone to stand up to the dems. The rest of that list is the fault of the dems especially racial division, terrorism, problems with foriegn countries and drug cartels. Dems are up to their necks in it or make it worse.
