Thank god Putin DID NOT organise the illegal invasion more efficiently! It’s a tragedy & a crime that it happened at all. Putin is a war criminal, so are his generals & soldiers. Shame on NATO for not giving more aid initially.

Russell is definitely one of the best satirists of our era! He makes us laugh, even as we want to cry, given our understanding of the severity of what Putin is doing to the Ukraine, and also to his own people. 16 "Oligarchs' mysteriously dying? I smell a leader who is fearful of those who might have the courage to oppose him.

I live in a coastal South Carolina tourist town. And tourists will wear the craziest t-shirts, so you become kinda immune to NSFW in your face on someone’s chest. Really don’t even notice the design nowadays… But I was at the grocery store this past Sunday and saw an older gentleman (in his 70’s?) in a t-shirt that said “Puck Futjn”…. I just giggled, complimented him and he said “my mom is up there (points up) either rollin’ her eyes or laughin’ her ass off! But she was Ukrainian so I’m pretty sure she’s lovin’ it!!” Coolest dude I met this summer.

I watch an ex-teacher on youtube and he's previously talked about how not following through on threats loses you credibility. For example if a teacher says "The next kid to make a noise in this classroom gets expelled" and then doesn't follow through with it. Biden's response avoids falling into this trap without saying something too vague such as "Well, there would be consequences."

He vocalised weakly and Trump would not call Putin a genius in response to Nuclear threats, you’re going off of an interview and missing context out. Trump is against the war in Ukraine & wouldn’t have sounded soft when saying don’t; Biden said “don’t” with weak intonation. Playing Devil’s Advocate for an actual racist fascist bigot like Biden is weird, do your own research.

Call my bluff, which is what you want us to do, when there are nuclear weapons involved is insane! The Cuban missile crisis was resolved peacefully because both sides believed that the other side would use nuclear weapons in certain circumstances.
