20 No more like Canada.

The Russian language is widely spoken in Ukraine like English is in Canada.

Mexican is large spoken in border states. And English. Or is that Spanglish?

We share a common British heritage like the Russians and Ukrainians are virtually one people.

Ukraine and Russia speak different languages and Ukraine is actually older than Russia with a very different history.

Southern states share a common heritage with all our immigrants but especially Mexico.

The Canadians are different like the Ukrainians are but not too different.

Ukrainians have a different heritage and history and a distinct tradition of poetry and literature much different than Russians though they do share some history being so close geographically.

Canada shares a long common border and is not completely independent of US influence.

America and Mexico share a long border with a history of chaos and trouble and is very much influenced by America. America actually saved the peso and their economy from collapse in my lifetime.

You could say they owe us. Bigly. Except they paid us back. But even if they didn't it's still no justification to invade. Thats what diplomacy is for.

Russia was losing diplomatically so they decided to go hot. The responsibility for all the death and destruction because of that decision is now is all theirs.

I hope they win.

So the abortion initiative is still on the ballot?

Damn! We might actually win Florida this election.

No wonder maga maroons seem more desperate than ever.

His cultists probably have wet dreams about her and would hate themself for harming a hair on her head.

I am not so sure.

Once Trumpy comes out against something his cultists are forced to also be against it. No matter what it is.

Or they will be ostracized and kicked from the party and then THEY will become the targets of maga hate.

All MAGAts have to back the maga line because no one wants the Eye of Mordor to turn on them.

"Tested" should be "treated".

There are no Good Guys. Just conflicting interests.

Diplomatic relationships are the Key to stopping this. That means treating Russia as an Equal.

Russia has a history Of NOT BEING TREATED AS AN EQUAL.

Bad Guy garbage.

If Russia wanted to be tested "equally" they would stop lying stop making threats stop making unrealistic demands and give back territories that it illegally annexed and pay retribution for the lives and property it has destroyed.

No really Donner they can't always do basic math.

Hmm. Interesting. I will test mine.

Blah blah blah.

The Poor Russians! The world is treating them so unkind!

The Ukrainians were so mean to them! After constant Russian interference aggression and attacks in their country. How dare they!

If Russia wants a nuclear war there is actually nothing we could do stop it.

"Maybe we should enact a Draft and prepare for War."

If WWIII is inevitable ( nuclear war) what would be the point of that?

"Donner that's a machine owned by Russians."

Ha!

No worries.

I have one too. It's my Good Guy AI. I use it against Bad Guy AIs.

Soon Everyone is gonna need one. Cheaper and more useful than an assault weapon. And you get more than one use out of it.

These "assassination attempts" are all strategy.

I would be very interested as to how the shooters are convinced to participate.

"Your mind is hermetically sealed on this issue."

My mind is made up. True.

And you have said nothing to convince me otherwise. True.

"Why should any more people Die?"

Ask Pooty. The man responsible for all those deaths on both sides. Not me.

"But it's just Ukrainians bring killed and maimed and Ukraine getting pulverized for Western interests."

Ukrainians are being killed by Russians for Russian interests.

"Ukraine is to them like Canada is to Us. "

If anything it's more like Mexico. Not hostile to us but not really able to help us much to solve the problems at the southern border.

The problems Mexico is having creating chaos on our border is not and would never be justification for us to create political problems for them or to invade them either.

Unfortunately this court will be around long after making horrible rulings for America for a long time unless Dems can rebalance it.

Russia is not a paper tiger. They have more at stake in Ukraine than we do.

They aren't giving up. It's Existential for them. Plus at this point they're winning.

So much short sightedness so little time. It's more existential for Ukraine. If it's existential for Russia that is only Russia's fault for putting itself in that position. And losing 300,000 Russians in the process.

That you would grant Putin the ability to shred international order says a lot about you.

It's not just a European security issue, it is a global security issue.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty includes the agreement that nuclear powers will respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries and agree to support the peaceful use of nuclear energy for their prosperity.

China has supported Russia in its illegal invasion, and has benefited from Russia's increasing isolation.

But Chinese leadership don't want Putin to lose either.

Because of what that would mean about the strength of the international community in being able to push back against bullies like them when they decide to finally attack Taiwan.

And finally. It is just the right thing to do to come to the aid of your allies when attacked.

"George Washington would have support slavery"

If him dumbass like Trumpy. Him not.

Never mind. Misread your post. Offer is still out there for MAGAts to participate.

No worries. I was just re-commenting on Gracie giving me a funny flag for asking for proof but she was unable to post any actual links to Dems calling for an assassination.

Sure. Like an accountant or a nurse. I have a BSBA and an MBA. I don't need either one for my current job.

I was thinking scientists and lawyers and such. Jobs that the government doesn't have the training facilities for.

The F4N fighter attack jets I worked on did have the ALQ 126. Not sure if they still use it but you could not shoot down an F4 with a good working ALQ-126. It would reflect radar signals back and your plane would appear to be in an entirely different location. It had other cool features to jam SAM and AAA radars. It worked in conjunction with an EW suite of equipment. Like the ALR 45 scopes which told you the range and direction the threat was coming from.

They were once classified but I would imagine they have much better systems now. You can find them online.

I discovered that the trick for peak performance was always sweeping (and resweeping) the antenna systems and of course running self tests. . There was a lot of antennas and it was a pain but it helped guarantee the system would work properly when needed.

Ha. It's funny that you believe such lies Gracie.

No Dems have called for the assassination of Trumpy.

FYI- Saying mean things about trumps incompetence and his inciting of the very violence that came home to roost at his own doorstep is not the same as calling for his assassination.

Be best, son.

I don't really care. Do you?

Trump's not going to Springfield. He's just getting some free publicity.

#21 | POSTED BY TWINPAC

I don't think the SS will let him.

Like the day they wouldn't let him go to the capitol to lead his insurrectionist mob in an attack on the capitol.

Too difficult to protect him. Especially after this latest apparent attempt on his life.

They prefer witchcraft.

#5 | POSTED BY ROBSON

Personally I just prefer the witches.

A good witch is hard to find.

Oh and BTW if Trump was going to destroy America, he would have done it in his first term.

You mean the "great economy" that Trumpy left us?

The one that was shut down because of a pandemic he let rage out of control? The one where 8-9 million people lost their jobs ? It was a horrible economy he left us.

But hey. Gas was cheap. Because demand around the world had dropped off a cliff.

If Kamala Harris was going to help America, she would have done it in her first term.

Her first term as VP? As far as I can tell she did what she could to help Americans. Breaking tie votes in the senate. As VP.

Re #54

1. Find an economically depressed city with lots of immigrants

2. "Create a story" and start vicious rumors about those immigrants

3. Profit politically

Ahead?

Dude, we are smack dab in the middle.

If it gets any more "interesting" there is going to be (another) body count window on CNN.

When I was in the Marines I went to the actual Top Gun event when it was in Miramar.

I was there to support my planes and pilots. I didn't have a degree in anything. But lots of training and experience. My job and my partners job was to keep the Phantoms ECM and Comm Nav systems fully operational for the mock battle contests. Without my experience and abilities they could not have competed. The equipment was always prone to failure. We had a spare plane to rob parts from just in case.

And we won. And so I WAS the Top Gun Tech that year. We sure had fun in San Diego and La Jolla after that. At least the parts i can remember ... And Blacks Beach ... wow.

My experience got me a federal job in electronics engineering. And eventually I was hiring.. people with (and without) degrees to be on my team. And while I did not have a degree I had lots of college courses and thousands of hours of electronics and computer training.

So you CAN get good training in the federal government and you don't really need a degree for many jobs. Just the ability to be trained. Having said that there are still some federal jobs for which you should have a degree and experience.

you need a hunting license and yes you need a migratory bird permit.

#11 | POSTED BY PHESTEROBOYLE

Just like I said.

So it's NOT just "open season" on geese. (Though this is geese season in New York apparently) So. There is an actual season. And. There are actual rules and permits required for hunting like every form of wildlife. New Yorkers are not just randomly killing them anytime of the year anywhere and eating them.

You tried to make it look like anyone can just kill 5 geese a day and eat them.

Even carp requires a fishing license.

So if Haitians were killing geese in Ohio they would most likely need a permit and would have to kill them in season.

But Shady JD would still target them. Apparently.

Re 5.

Name a dem that has "called for the assassination of Trumpy".
