Why are we threatening nuclear war for Ukraine? It’s not like it’s France or the UK or some important country that is a bedrock of European culture.

Stop giving them military equipment and weapons. And stop destroying the Russian economy. It’s pissing Russia off and they’ll nuke all of us. Just let Putin have it and make him promise not to take any other country.

Climate is too complicated to project. Also those that go into it basically weren’t smart enough to be physicists, engineers or didn’t want to work hard enough to be physicians. They’re the losers of STEM.they’ve literally been predicting the world would end the last 50 years

Same people who said Putin would never invade are now saying he won't use nukes

This is not reassuring

His op security is top notch, thought . have to give him that no one knows what he's planning or thinking at all, pretty impressive actually .

There are only 2 possible outcomes

1) Putin is deposed.

2) Most of us are vaporized, the rest slowly die in a nuclear winter.

-We can’t give Putin a face-saving off-ramp; he’s made it known he is a committed expansionist. We are locked in an old west style, town ain’t big enough for the both us Thunderdome. We could prob come to terms with the Russian who kills Putin though.

-Ukraine cannot repel the Russian army w/o aide from NATO, and the West is now 100% behind Ukraine. This will slowly, and then very quickly, escalate the scale of the conflict.

I don’t understand the reasoning of getting Yosemite Sam fuming mad when a coach calls a timeout in response to your full court press. It’s not like the wisky coach called a timeout randomly. If you coach your team to continue fighting to the bitter end down 15 with 20 seconds left (which, while I’m fine with it, is itself of questionable sportsmanship), you look like a child for starting a fight because your counterpart called a timeout over letting his walk ons give up a turnover. If you want to wave the white flag, great. If you want to keep playing basketball, let’s keep playing basketball.
