These are hard times, and more are coming. And I don’t exactly remember the quote, but it’s along the lines of:
“When a run-away team of horses is headed off a cliff, the driver can sometime be seen encouraging them on, presumably, since he knows he cannot stop them, he at least feels some sense of control over the situation.”
Russian front lines.
A French General complained about the presence of American troops at an exercise, and said “I wish these Americans would leave.” The American General overheard him, and asked “Should we also take the men in the graves who died invading Normandy?” The French General, surprised, turned, and he said, “Yes, when your president has you turn and run, try not to forget them when you pack.”
This says rubles but I believe this is converted to USD?
They don’t even go off in the tubes.
I don’t agree with your assessment of how things will shake out. The primary concern of north and south korea fighting in ukraine (I need a new bingo card) is that the fighting could trigger N Korean attacks at the boarder, which will destabilize the region, and allow China’s neighbors to step up their military positions for legitimate cause.
China’s window to attack Taiwan was after Russia took Ukraine - now they are probably recalculating their plans and building a billion drones. That should hold for a while.
My largest concern is trump winning, and europe finding an excuse to trigger article 5, dragging us all into war, so that trump either abandons the alliance and diminishes the US world standing (or biden if he refuses to aid). European nations know ukraine isn’t the first and isn’t the last, and they might as well fight a crippled russia when the US might intercede. If the US did blink, we’d see a loss of allies and Taiwan might as well assume they’re gone in 30 years, as Europe would ignore US aid requests.
Well, clearly you are not a bot on reddit then.
Begun, the drone wars have.
Europe also has the frightening option to attempt to trigger article 5 before January, and make the US choose whether to honor the commitment or leave Europe. It sounds nuts, but if you know you have yo fight russia eventually, it’s bold but could work.
Adam something is such a strange name, too.
While you took basic computer classes, he studied the blade.

Yeah… you like that racist? The donkey can kick, ain’t no felons can’t vote so even Florida flip…… what?
What’s that smell (what’s that smell?) What’s that smell? (What’s that smell?)
Little donny, you in there, I smell your perfume, I heard you call for revolution on what’s left of fox news,
Little donny, I’m outside, an old man and the sea, my glock has mods, she stutters, spits a lot more than me,
I’m famous (they let you do it), I’m in office (they let you do it), your joke court is away now, Bret and Clarence showing Amy all of Tommy’s porn now, Let me in, I’ll be quick man, just lend me an ear, damn I know I’m in a red state ain’t no ramp access here.
He said his gut says it goes to trump, but I’m quietly hoping a lot of women lie about their votes and go for harris.
You probably have confirmation bias based on your environment. I own a contracting company and many in the trades drink the koolaid, and are completely blind that they are voting themselves poor over the long term.
Some people can only learn through pain - they can’t express empathy past what they personally experience - and those people tend to be squarely trump voters. They’ll vote for bacon every day as pigs, and only realize their mistake afterwards.

Does counting to 12 count?
Finally, the Korean War will end somewhere along the Russian-Ukraine boarder.
That’s not correct. When a person is declared dead but is maintained for organ harvesting, a tech is brought in to keep the body stable to best preserve all organs being taken. Think ICU, but focused on saving the organs with not much concern for the brain. Breathing, BP, and heart rate are optimized for organ survival until a surgical team can be set up for harvesting. A colleague did it for a while, and said it was depressing and a lot of sitting around watching the monitor and tweaking drips until they could arrange surgery. When my brother died, we donated what we could, but a lot of his organs were non-viable due to his illness… still, every little bit helps.
I’d like to lighten up the mood by commenting the guy is lucky this happened in Kentucky… everyone knows the standard for being brain dead is much lower there. :)
This was, at best, medium-grade satire.
