I don’t blame him for doing something that we take as trivial.
The real problem is: South Florida traffic is an impossible jungle of madness that it requires a satanic sacrifice to be this deplorable.
For some odd reason, they will set up 4-5 lane road with a speed limit of 45 mph...in a goddamn residential area. So

Their echo chamber is loud, but embarrassingly tiny.

not these truckers.  the ones who delivered my TP, yes.  these guys were busy masturbating to Trump videos.

You are assuming facts not in evidence: that these truckers, specifically, were the majority of those transporting toilet paper and other sundries during the pandemic.

it’s always so funny to watch when right wing nutjobs are confronted with the fact that the general populace is not on their side

My guess would be number of enlisted persons. 

I can’t believe that Putin fell for “They will welcome us as liberators!”

This whole Nazi thing was created out of Putin backing and pushing stories all over the world about how “bad” the Nazi problem in Ukraine has been for like 5 or 6 years now.

In a recent major election? Less than 1.8% of the vote went to the White Nationalist party. While... not great, that’s hardly as vast and

If Putin had bothered to learn real history instead of made-up history, possibly this exercise in futility could have been avoided.

Great comment, and I’d like to add one more thing that Putin and Hitler failed to account for: American manufacturing

“Turn on the seat warmers Sergei, we go to drive the Russians into the sea!!”

Every report about the ineptness of the Russian ground forces brings me back to the climactic monologue in Chernobyl. What is the cost of lies?

No kidding. I figured as outnumbered as the Ukrainians were the Russians would have steamed them right over. Looks like everyone both overestimated Russia’s preparedness and the Ukrainian’s will to fight back.

Anyone who wants to have their mind blown, and understand a lot of the context around the Russia-Ukraine war, should spend some time studying the Eastern Front in WWII. There are a ton of great resources out there, but my person favorite is Dan Carlin’s “Ghosts of the Ostfront” series as part of the Hardcore History

Might be why they surrender as soon as they run out of gas.

Yeah, if the Russian troops haven’t had their “Are we the baddies?” moment yet, it’s too late.

“...while Russia has a formidable wheeled military force...”

All sympathy for Russia goes out the window when they’re specifically targeting maternity wards, schools, civilian cars fleeing, apartment buildings, and journalists. If Russians are ok with committing war crimes, then we need to be ok with the armed resistance to their invasion using any and all means necessary to
