The Russians are slow to anger but when they get Putin he should pay a heavy price for his crimes.

It only took 1.5 million war casualties?

I'd like to think that we're better than that, but who knows?

The problem is, once a corrupt fascist dictator gets into office, they don't leave unless forced.

Just wait until 2028. You'll see.

Russian oil sanctions waiver and not telling Xi Taiwan is off limits as Trump stalls $14b in arms sales to Taiwan.

He may as well have told Xi, "Just take it." Especially with how pitifully Trump and Kegsbreath have handled Iran.

On the plus side, lots of single and recently single Russian women available for Chinese bachelors after Russia chose to liquidate its male population.

America you don't really want to go to war.
America its them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to take our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a Red Reader's Digest. Her wants our auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our fillingstations.
That no good. Ugh. Him make Indians learn read. Him need big black n------s. Hah. Her make us all work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious.
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I don't want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I'm nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
