Agreed, but let’s just go with it. They certainly don’t want a negotiated settlement now, do they? Why is that? Pressure from NATO? What’s the...
I am starting to agree. And I now remember that DD started out in this thread posing as the “reasonable man,” pointing out the futility of...
Russia, not Ukraine, decided to settle the matter by force of arms. So here we are. It was supposed to be an easy demonstration of force that...

I don’t care for Jewel’s version personally, but I don’t see anything remotely offensive or divisive about it. It was just meh. Whitney set a very...
Sounds like a system easily damaged by, say, violent contact in a violent contact sport.
Hard to say until ground changes hands. You just can’t tell anything from select footage one side or the other wants you to see. I’ll bet if...

There’s nothing “free” about what the Ukrainians are doing in return for our military aid. But I’ll certainly be willing to not only forgive the...
