  1. Really wonder what Xi is thinking about all of this. We know the public facing statements, but internally, I wonder if there's a point where the negatives of looking the other way (if not allying) with Putin start to outweigh the positives.
  2. Setting aside how despicable the comment is, I can't imagine sitting watching the last four days and then coming away with the impression that Putin is the smart one here
  3. Gotta watch the Oligarchs... there's power in numbers if they say enough.
  4. Translation: Good God, that's dark
  5. Gotta take all of this stuff with a grain of salt.... Having said that, it's pretty clear that this isn't going as well as the Russians had hoped. Things can obviously change, but morale must be pretty terrible for them at the moment
  6. Another war crime to add to the pile
  7. Well, one thing seems clear: the Ukrainian citizenry apparently didn't watch that John Mearsheimer lecture.
  8. On one hand, it is pathetic... but on the other hand, it gives them (yet another) off ramp should they want to take it.
  9. The only argument I could see is that it may lead Russia to take western outlets off their air (ie. BBC). Which may not be a trade worth making considering how few people actually watch RT in America. Idk tho
  10. The fact that they were even talking about it is notable.
  11. There have been reports of Twitter/FB being restricted in Russia....
  12. He has been, just wish he'd do more to stop the politics at the waters edge.
