War in Ukraine

[Orangeburst]

Yes, we do it too. The difference is Russia and China don't report our attacks against them.

I'm pretty sure that Kevin Mitnick is still regarded as the best computer hacker in history. I haven't heard anything from him in a long time... but I bet if you were to Google "Best Computer Hacker Ever" - every link would be to Kevin Mitnick.

He has a video discussing some of his exploits and without saying what he actually did, he says that he has been advised by the State Department to avoid traveling to eastern Europe for the rest of his life.

Nice deflection...you keep saying Trump, ad nauseam mind you, would not retaliate with what is happening today..Yes...that is your narrative. And this is all so hypothetical anyways and unproven, especially since:

A: Biden has done nothing to retaliate for the 2020 election and these cyber attacks. There is no grandfather clause.
B: As demonstrated, it is common place.

So what is one to think? Trump would have a passive about Putin invading Ukraine ? Or Putin invaded Ukraine once Trump was gone?

Yes, we do it too. The difference is Russia and China don't report our attacks against them.

The other part of this is that the US places a high priority on getting in and out without being noticed. Russia and China, on the other hand, focus more on breaking in.

You can see this strategic difference with military technology, too. US plays things very close to the vest and Russia/China rush to let/show everyone their latest technology.

This was the real nuclear option. Sanctions just went full throttle.

And we thought the ban from the Eurovision song contest was the bottom. This is rough.

'Ghost of Kyiv': Lone fighter pilot credited with shooting down six Russian jets

One Ukrainian fighter pilot dubbed the "Ghost of Kyiv" has emerged as an unconfirmed heroic figure as Ukraine pushes back against invading Russian troops.

Unconfirmed reports have gone viral on Twitter, with one video getting five million views for claiming that the fighter pilot has taken out six Russian jets since President Vladimir Putin ordered a "special military operation" in the country early Thursday morning local time.

Video footage shows what appears to be a Ukrainian MiG-29 jet flying around several cities in Ukraine. The pilot could earn the title of "fighter ace" for shooting down five or more enemy aircraft if the reports are true.

You're missing the point. Did Biden side with Putin's denial of Russian involvement? No, but Trump did.

Swalwell floats Expulsion of Russian exchange students over Ukraine invasion

California Rep. Eric Swalwell said the United States should consider deporting all Russian foreign exchange students in response to the nation's invasion of Ukraine.

Swalwell, a Democrat who represents a northern California Bay Area district, made the comments during an interview on CNN Newsroom Thursday. The congressman also said the U.S. should consider closing the Russian Embassy in Washington.

We're working on our own version of the "blue checkmark."

I should be on the launch. I've been here for 80 years.

He was/is incompetent. Just not as incompetent as his predecessor.

I rarely discuss him. Never understood the fascination.

But I’ve also stopped taking shots at Biden. Just passé at this point.

I do believe there have to be some smart DNC strategists out there pondering how they can best use the 25th to the Democrats advantage.

 

[tvolsfan]

You see him actually firing on Russian forces. You can't be this gullible.

Apparently you’re the only one having trouble with it. Maybe you and Ras can coordinate on a better argument next time.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don’t think these sanctions are going to have the desired effect. They may just strengthen Russia’s resolve and further isolate them, which may preclude any possibility of lasting peace

Then do what?...nothing?

Now when has that happened? Shirley, you are not talking about Derek Chauvin?

Swalwell floats expulsion of Russian exchange students over Ukraine invasion

At first glance that strikes me as a bad idea. Comes at a cost to us, with very little benefit.

 

[***RoadVol***]

Weird Putin waited till Trump was gone to pull this..

Could it be that he knew Trump would not push for Ukraine to join NATO so he didn't really care? Could he think Biden would push for Ukraine to be a NATO member and he is acting before that happened? He was in no way afraid of his dear puppet Trump.

Finlands PM just became a poster on my MILF wall. View attachment 435905

The most lucid post you've ever made.

 

[***RoadVol***]

Lol. Sure

Cheap gas, great returns on retirement/ brokerage accounts, jobs. Some things you don’t have to post a link for to prove you’re correct. But go on and post ******** articles written by someone who likely doesn’t even know their correct pronoun.

Why did we have cheap gas? You better check the job numbers.

There! I knew you were a humorous guy.

For something really funny, I'll bet you comment more on Trump in a week or two than I comment on Clinton in a year.
Even funnier, mine have factual basis - ain't that hoot!

Fine by me and the CCP..
Hey Swally..your chick still hanging in the US BTW

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

They are still arguing about pronouns. I think the nuke thing was the last item on the agenda.

Obama infested the US military with this , and one thing I hold against Trump is that he didn't excise that cancer when he had the chance.

That's a bad idea. That wouldn't impact the Russian government one bit, and would be punishing kids who just want to best educate themselves. Yes, Democrats have idiots too. Eric Swalwell is one of them.

No parties doesnt mean no politicians or government. It's a sad state of affairs if people cant even think past the party system.

It sounds like f'n chaos
