I guessed you missed the whole p art about 'impending nuclear holocaust.'

Thank you for that, and I don’t think you’re being too judgmental. A good chunk of the mercenary wannabes were probably former service personnel and they just miss being in the military. Joining up again isn’t really an option because the conditions for service change, and being in a peacetime military is very…

They actually did; The 16,000 foreign volunteers that Zelenskyy keeps referencing are being tracked through that program, Though that probably also includes people who contacted out of interest but never made the trip. Considering how many people came to Ukraine to fight with paramilitary groups opposing the…

I can understand The strong desire to go over there. As an American military veteran, The opportunity to serve in a truly just cause for once in your life versus just being a bully for national policy is Overwhelming. But that is as a trained Soldier; Anyone going over right now without combat experience or training is…

Anyone Volunteering for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion right now is being advised to bring their own uniforms and body armor. They were handing out Equipment initially but they are starting to run low on that. About the only thing they have plenty of is rifles and small arms.

It was confirmed; they were confirmed alive (thank God).

Yup! Yup, yup. That's it exactly. 

I know, but it still bothers me when it pops up and I don’t catch it in time. I like to be as legible and accurate in my replies as possible.

If that’s what you’re trying to say than I’m going to apologize for my tone: There have been a lot of potent apologists recently and I’m very tired of it. I’m going to reiterate why it is important to recognize Russian imperialism, because part of Putin’s demands to not attack Ukraine was to roll NATO borders back to…

You are a few if you imply the concept of Russian imperialism as laughable. It is a thing that exists, and it’s best that we recognize that. The US has not militarily involved themselves in Ukraine, because we have no treaties with Ukraine so talking about that is pointless at this stage. The bigger concern regarding…

They are serious indications that show this invasion might not be going the way the Russians planned. They were likely expecting to be in Kiev by now, and have nominal if not total control of the country by tomorrow. Several accounts make it seem that they are bogged down in Kharkiv, near Crimea, and on the road to…

I would call that very accurate after viewing his recent comments on Ukraine. There is a lot of indications that this wasn’t a strategic decision, but an emotional one, and one that several members of his government were uncomfortable with.

Russia was unjustly and ruthlessly invaded twice in this century. Despite that, it is and was historically an imperialist power. If you are using absurd logic to justify is to justify an invasion of a country that is made clear it doesn't want anything to do with Russia.

There was never any agreement written or otherwise not to expand NATO. The only source for that is the current Russian government, which has proven itself to be duplicitous time and time again. The former Warsaw Pact dtates wouldn’t have been rushing to join NATO if they didn’t feel threatened by Russia in the firt…

I’m surprised they actually went with the descriptor ‘gentleman.’ The normal descriptor in such a report should be ‘the subject,’ or the ‘male subject’ to differentiate him from Gabby Petito. ‘Gentleman’ would actually carry the risk of implying bias.

This seems like a good spot to point out that Texas, the state that passed one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws, has one of the most underfunded and broken child protective systems. The main facility for housing children is missing a door and has no central heating, while Texas places children in sub-par,…

He's a Republican. Of course. Could have guessed it, but had to confirm it.

The vast majority of schools require freshman to spend their first year in a dorm these days. There's a lot of reasons colleges give, but the real reason (which they don't give) is to drive up the amount they can rake in from students. 

If the 'American taxpayers' like the money they pay their taxes with to continue having value, they better fucking pay attention to the millions of Americans who are catering the economy because they can't spend money in it because of fucking predatory debts.

I mean, if more men (hell, anyone) stayed home watching porn and playing video games, would that really be so bad?
