    So Moen. I don’t get my information from Fox News. I just look at everything and see patterns.

    On a lighter note. Have you seen the commercial where Fetterman was dragging himself and needed “Coke” for energy to run for senate. Not sure if it was his inside joke, or just hiding in plain sight. BFC42953-7AD3-4279-9D23-8BB0AC27C3F8.jpeg
    Look it up.

    Throwback to Mean Joe Greene commercial, I think.

    Throw the jersey, though. That is important.

    Yes, Putin has shown the World thru his bungled, "so called special operation"

    1/ That the bellicose Russian Armed forces are a paper tiger. Their Generals cannot lead/ their officers could not organize and train the soldiers/ and the latter are basic cannon fodder like in WW1/ WW2.
    2/ Their military hardware is obsolete/ useless
    3/ Corruption is so rampant in Russia/ that a Country with immense resources is basically "Third World"
    4/ NATO now will be stronger and gain more members
    5/ Germany/ Europe will spend more on defence/ to counter any future threat from China/ Russia
    6/ Putin is too dumb to notice/ but Ukraine was never a threat/ nor was the US/ NATO. China (which needs natural resources) may just invade Eastern Russia and take them.
    7/ Presently either Germany/ France/ USA/ or the US could defeat Russia easily.

    I think that seemed likely last March. However, the US/ NATO know that if this tyrant would win in Ukraine/ his next target (just like Stalin in 1940/ be the Baltics) that would involve NATO/US vs Russia. NATO/ US aim to supply the Ukrainians with more modern weapons including training Ukraine pilots to fly F-35s/ F-16s which will decimate the Russian airforce. They need to make sure to make the Ukraine is a "killing" ground for Russians. Hopefully, the Russians losses will force Putin to withdraw/ or he maybe overthrown in a revolution/ or even better the evil Federation will break up due to internal ethnic uprisings. Russia has been under despots since Ivan the IV aka "the Terrible" in 1500s.
