So… the blame goes not on the aggressor, but on the person who the aggressor says was at fault for provoking their proactive bad behavior. And so that means you probably believe that girls who dress up provocatively deserve to be sexually assaulted...Right?

My thinking is that many countries are banning energy imports from Russia. It may not be a far stretch to have them ban grain imports as well. I was theorizing from the perspective of a reduction in supply.

So we have the land, but not necessarily the infrastructure nor the legal infrastructure that would allow planting for this years growing season. Got it.

So… I have done no research and I’m typing this off of the top of my head just because the thought occurred to me. I know there are large “tracts of land!” in the United States where farmers are incentivized through subsidies to NOT grow anything. I also know that many seem to be concerned...

2nd season of Bridgerton coming this month. 2nd season of Russian Doll coming next month.

Thank you so much, Red!

OK. Wild conspiracy theory time. What if… 1. There were those in the FSB that wanted regime change… 2. That fed all sorts of inaccurate intelligence to Putin to make him believe Ukraine was easy pickin’s….. 3. That once the invasion started, Putin started to realize that he’s screwed… 4. That...

Wow… anybody (Red?) have access to the full article? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/this-war-will-be-a-total-failure-fsb-whistleblower-says-wl2gtdl9m Here’s a link to the Twitter thread, with some interesting snippets, followed by the Unscroller of the thread...

It was OK. Much darker than any other I’ve seen. I have a hard time with Batman movies… Most of them cast Gotham in the light of an absolute hellhole. Why would anyone in their right mind not hitchhike the hell out of that city? I can’t think why anyone would live there by choice.

I'm sorry, I know my anti-Trump bias is showing through, but I also think this opinion piece is fairly on point: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ukraine-crisis-showed-how-biden-cleaned-trump-s-nato-mess-ncna1290518

A sad, sad but somewhat welcome byproduct of this whole situation is that NATO countries (besides the US) will be bulking up militarily. In other words, the United States will no longer need to be the only significant armed country in NATO. Telling are a few paragraphs from this opinion piece...

Saw there was a response from an ignored member. Nope, not taking that bait. I will leave that on ignore, thank you very much. Don't need the headache.

Time to bench the morons. https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/01/opinions/republicans-gop-ukraine-russia-war-putin-dent/index.html

Thank you for writing that, seriously.

If anybody likes Ark: Survival Evolved, I have a hybrid server that I play on with family… if you’re really nice to me maybe I’ll let you join in.

Well… That didn’t exactly go as planned.

I'm sure this series of events will foment a lot of 20/20 hindsight questions. Things like: 1. We don't live in a post-World War II world any more. So why is the other side of the world so reliant upon the United States to keep the peace, rather than people/countries on their same continent? 2...

Thank heavens for the Associated Press.

I mean, what's to stop us from invading Canada if Russia eats up Ukraine? Just sayin'.

I’m excited to see how it compares to The Wheel of Time - not only from a storytelling perspective, but also from a production perspective. LOTR had a bigger budget than WoT. Should be interesting.
