$1 million bounty on Putin offered by Russian businessman.

I am not comfortable with billionaires placing bounties on anyone. It should never be within any citizens rights to do this, ever.

When you buy something it becomes your property to dispose of as you choose. Shouldn't that also apply to politicians? Just asking a question. For a friend.

On a more serious note, Putin is the CIC of the Russian military and in war officers are just as much valid targets as the grunts. If this guy offered a reward to any Ukrainian solidier who destroyed a Russian tank would you be equally uncomfortable?
 
Fox "News" commentator Pete Hegseth said what is happening in Ukraine "pales in comparison" to "wokeness" and gas prices.
Because your coworker using gender neutral pronouns and paying $1 more for gas is so much worse than having your country invaded and bombed.
White male privilege thinking it is persecuted by the slightest discomfort.
 
Not certain about the white male privilege aspect, but, at least, when it comes to military stuff, he knows a thing or two because he's seen a thing or two:

I say: Let NATO loose.

But honestly at over 6000 nuclear bombs does it really matter? 20 or 30 pretty much destroys the world as we know it right?

All you need is one to ruin everyone's day. In the same venue, reactors will cause problems. When Chernobyl and Japan's Fukeshima fukushima 1.jpg March 11 disasters happened, the radiation spread was vast.

This reminds me of tactics used by partisans in occupied Europe during World War II.

Of course, the German Nazi's captured them and tortured them afterwards. Once the SS or Gestapo were involved, protests quickly went astray.

Too much connectivity now. The Gestapo went pretty much unchecked.
 
The fact that someone served in the military does not make it true that being asked to use gender neutral pronouns is worse than having your country invaded. And anyone who thinks so doesn't know much about war.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the right to do this... It's certainly not a right granted by Russia, right?

Sure it isn't a right granted by any country. It should be illegal, is what I guess I meant. That is if it isn't already. Maybe that billionaire should be investigated for placing the bounty in the first place.
 
I've been hearing it's time to put the squeeze on Putin in regards oil/gas exports. How would that even be possible without America (and others?) opening up oil/gas production and exporting the Germany et al?

Its not possible because you dont just turn oil on like a faucet. There is a lot of work and infrastructure involved. OPEC has been underinvesting for years. The USA is producing more than we ever have and are still ramping up. There was an energy issue before Russia ever got involved. Also you dont just ship natural gas to Germany, it will take a year or more to get that system all set up, Germany has failed by not having a back up plan to relying on Russia energy and now they are paying for it.

Oil sanctions with Russia will be a lot of short term pain that people need to be ready for.

We’ll probably just have to chapstick-up and start sucking some more Saudi dick. Continuing to ignore the genocide in Yemen will also be a requirement. You know, since we care so much about small, weak countries being attacked by their larger, dictator-run, oil-producing neighbors to the north. This hostility cannot stand!

You mean the same Genocide that started at the end of the Obama administrations era that President Trump decided wasn't worth getting involved with?
 
Both NATO and UN were involved in a 10 week offensive to get Malosovich?
I guess the Nuke threat is the only thing keeping NATO/UN from going after Putin? Or is it oil?

No, I mean the genocide in Yemen that spans both the Obama and Trump administrations. Not sure which genocide you are referring to. Good try though.

It’s not like it matters anyway, their president wasn’t even on Dancing With The Stars so who cares? He’s not even that good looking, you couldn’t even make a movie about it.

I'm not saying that increased gas prices in the US is even remotely on the same level of suffering as what Ukraine is going through right now. Not even the same universe. They really shouldn't be talked about in the same breath.... sentence..... paragraph.

But let's not act like drastically increasing gas prices won't cause people to suffer. Inflation was already shooting through the roof before this war. There's a housing shortage. Supply chain issues are causing huge problems. I had to drive around to four different stores yesterday to find the special formula for my daughter that doesn't have dairy in it.

If you add a dollar to diesel prices, or more, that will cause inflation to soar even more. So let's not automatically discount the effect that gas prices can have on our economy.
 
Putin's breath-taking hypocrisy: Russian dictator declares Ukrainians are 'extreme gangsters' and accuses them of using civilians as 'human shields' as his forces relentlessly bombard families' homes
  • Vladimir Putin has tonight denied that his troops are killing civilians or targeting cities, instead accusing Ukrainian soldiers of holding people hostage and hiding their military equipment in civilian areas
  • Russian leader also claimed his 'special military operation' is going on time and to schedule, despite his troops missing key objectives, suffering embarrassing defeats, and getting bogged down in fighting
  • It will do little to assure people the war could be over soon, but suggests Putin is rattled at level of resistance
  • Came just hours after he shared a call with Emmanuel Macron, vowing that Russia would fight until 'the end'
  • Macron said he believes 'the worst is yet to come' in Ukraine after 90-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin ended with his Russian counterpart declaring his goals will be achieved 'in any case'
  • Talks were held between Ukraine and Russian negotiators, who agreed for safety corridors to be created
  • Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to Putin directly to sit down with him for talks

Russian news channel RT to broadcast on Rumble

March 3 (Reuters) - Russian state-controlled news network RT said on Thursday it will begin broadcasting on Rumble, a YouTube-like video site, after tech companies including Meta Platforms (FB.O) and Twitter (TWTR.N) have restricted access to RT following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Tech companies in recent days have moved to restrict Russian state-controlled media including RT and Sputnik in response to requests from governments and calls to prevent the spread of Russia propaganda. Russia has called its actions in Ukraine a "special operation."

Streaming media company Roku (ROKU.O)has removed the app for RT from its Roku Channel Store globally, a spokesperson said.

Facebook owner Meta said on Tuesday it was globally demoting content from Russian state-controlled media outlets' Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. read more

Rumble is a video site popular among U.S. political conservatives. In December former U.S. President Donald Trump's media venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, said Rumble will deliver video and streaming for Truth Social, the venture's social media app that launched in the Apple (AAPL.O) App Store on Jan. 21. read more

During Live feed on Russian TV the stock exchange expert drank and cheered to the death of the Russian stock market and said that he would go to work as Santa Claus.

Interesting. The Gestapo did anything they wanted because their leadership made total chaos a policy. Secret police States always have a hard ass running the show. The worst of all time was Beria, who was the hatchet man for Stalin. Fuckin pure evil inside that asshole.
