      Nicely done. Maybe the best summation so far.

      I'd love to say that sanctions were a great success, but the Russian military ineptness is probably a bigger factor.

      Still, this has proven that concerted international sanctions have a place. There's more than one way to wage war.

        I'm missing the word "China" in that summary.

        A lot of what's going to happen is in their hands.

          Very good summary.

          But the last two tweets are the most telling:

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            The perception of failure seems to be world-wide.

            In Russia? Not so much:

              That's my question. Why wouldn't they just effectively hold the world hostage by threatening nuclear weapons? Poots doesn't care about a whole lotta shit, obviously.

              Please love yourself.

                I dont think that is too surprise. It seems to be that when things are bad in your country, focus the attention to the outside and blame external things as the cause.

                Increasing national patriotism seems to work in the short term.

                  Some decent points, but From is a war-mongering neocon and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Sad, because I used to like some of his stuff.

                    First we get Ax asking about handguns, and now this!

                    We live in interesting times.

                    I was only joking

                        That’s kind of ironic because his peak neo-con shill moment was boosting a foreign adventure that you supported.
