Biden Urges Americans To Prepare For What A Potential Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Would Mean

Those are some awesome puppers! I love that the ears are flopped over.

The first time I saw an armadillo it was running across the street in front of me, in downtown San Antonio! Had just come out from under the bridge over the (barely flowing) San Antonio river before it turns into the riverwalk.

Like I said my sister has lived in Austin for about 30 years. My mother and I would drive down highway 44 to OK, 69 in OK to 79 in TX, around Dallas to 35 and then on to Austin. Over the years we’d only see dead armadillos in TX, then up into OK, and then SW MO.
The thing is to see them where I see them he in St. Louis County they have to cross a river, use a highway overpass, or maybe a bridge for trains. It has to be global warming.

Trump would claim that Vlad was looking for evidence that Hunter Biden did something while on the board of that gas company.

It’s nice to know that the current occupant of the Oval Office has actual experience with dealing with other foreign leaders.
I hope to never see this scene repeated in my lifetime.

I mean this really is a telling photo. And this one I can not resist.

If a war postpones opening day at Wrigley, I’ll give $200 to Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.

Well, it’s like this, if it’s ok for countries to invade for flimsy reasons (even America), then we’ll be lucky if the world has America’s back in the future.

So what does NATO offer Putin to not invade? What is and isn’t on the table?

ETA: How does Putin save face? If that really is a thing.

I can’t believe Putin didn’t pull this stunt while fat boy as in charge. He could have walked into Ukraine without a peep from our government.

Destabilization is the point.

Helping Trump be president and threatening to invade Ukraine achieve the same end.

Putin read all the signals wrong. He has drawn NATO together. Ukraine now has a national identity with a finger to Russia. His fellow kleptocrats are getting pissed because they can’t go to their Rivera dachas. And, most likely, nobody will offer him a face saving way out. He can either invade with a shit load of body bags coming home - body bags from Afghanistan were the end chapter for the Soviet Union - or retire to his yacht in Kaliningrad.

ETA. I almost forgot. If he invades he becomes a Bush, Cheney level war criminal.

If Trump were to say anything at this point, the demarcation line between Trumpism and sanity would be more solidified.

And make BothSiderism and WhatAbout-ism more ridiculous-looking

Well, he has a long, insane statement on the Mazars situation. Blah blah blah victimhood because he’s so awesome. I think it tends to solidify the line you mentioned.

San Antonio ees unique in ganz Amerika!
So said a zoot suit flamenco artist I saw on a stage downtown there in the late '80s. Good times. Didn’t see any armadillos though.

Are you sure about that?

Y’know, Josh keeps on posting how Putin’s moves are all kabuki to get what he wants without fighting a war, but the troops Putin says are going home haven’t, there’s no indications that the cyber attacks on the Ukrainian military will stop, and they’re already staging fake ‘terrorist attacks’ for their flunkies to ‘thwart’ and blame Ukraine for.

It kinda feels like Josh would’ve been the guy insisting ‘it’s all performative and Trump actually thinks it will get Joe Biden to concede the election’ on Jan 4 of last year.

right…why does whatever happens in the Ukraine affect my life? its like AGHANISTAN…
