I watched a Pink Panther movie ...

Probably not as funny as the GOP debate.

I dunno...

I assume the adults in the room don’t have “spite Russia” on their list of priorities. These twitwits should focus on why their unpreferred candidates are not advocating for the best interests of the US. I am sure those arguments exist.

[jon-nyc]

I admit I was also stumped by his question.

[George K]

What does this even mean?

DIdn't watch, as I said, but its kind of fun to watch flash-in-the-pan Vivek.

Smart guy - arrogant AF, immature AF, obnoxious AF. I can see why he did well in business. That's the reason Donald Trump got elected he'll never make it in politics.

My God, imagine working for him. It would be horrendous.

Bringing up Haley's daughter - what a turd.

Haley's word for him is "scum."

[Doctor Phibes]

He'd clearly prepared that comment, which makes you wonder what caliber of advisors he has.

[Horace]

He's a fighter and probably has some sadism lurking underneath, which he thinks he can get away with as long as "the other person started it".

I'd be willing to bet he has a high IQ too

EQ, not so much. He's socially incompetent.

So he didn't mean to call Zelensky a Nazi, he was just 'talking quickly and oscillated his words'. Riiiiiight. How exactly does one oscillate their words?

To be honest, what with BoJo, Trump, Biden etc. I think I've had enough of people who can't string coherent sentences together being in charge of countries.

There is plenty to be said about Ukraine not being an idyllic liberal democracy, but nobody is saying it. In the transparent battle for the hearts and minds of western voters, messaging is carefully sculpted.

[Mik]

It does seem an unfortunate lack of ability for that particular position. every word out of your mouth is parsed to the nth degree.

There's plenty of corruption, I'm sure, as there is in most of the countries in that region. It's still a shit-ton better than the barbaric criminal dictatorship in charge of Russia.

Calling him a Nazi is echoing Russian propaganda. What an amazing coincidence. Oh sorry, total accident, Freudian slip. I meant that guy in Canada.

[Renauda]

There is a choice.

The West can either support a thoroughly corrupt authoritarian regime - a mafia state- that extorts and makes war with its neighbours and sows political mischief internationally.

Or

The West can give its support to a chronically corrupted democracy that has been trying to deal with its past, establish a rule of law and defend its right to exist as a sovereign nation.

I know which one of the two I will support.

Nonsense. Corruption in Ukraine has been openly discussed and addressed since the 90’s. It has prevented Ukraine from becoming a member not only of the EU but a number of other international organisations.

No it’s not an idyllic liberal democracy by any means. But it is not moving towards becoming a totalitarian mafia state like its hegemonic neighbour.
