Fuckin war going on but you can still count on idiocy from my Elba brethren.

Prayers for Ukraine getting through this rough night.

Your non-specific complaints put you in the same pot you accuse others of occupying it, though it is unclear they are there, too. Just you.

And I am sure your prayers will help the folks in Ukraine about equally to
a) your prayers (and those of the GOP's "leadership") for the families and victims of school shootings and
b) the lack of support for the country and support for Putin that some of your party's leaders continue to show.

It would be nice, albeit shocking, if you could manage your critiques to include those hard at work praising Putin and/or patting themselves on the back.

It is true that China's state run banks backed off some letters of credit.

But Beijing is trying to have it both ways.

They are undoing restrictions on Russian wheat imports.

Yes, bring in Silvio Berlusconi, and Lech Walesa, and Juan Carlos.

Here is some fitting Shakespeare...

The people of Ukraine are going to fight to the death.
Ridiculous idea.
They should've surrendered on the first day.
With the world just watching them get massacred, they're never going to win.
Thank you for your input Marshal Petain.

Surely you don't believe Ukraine can beat Russia.
Stop calling me Shirley.

Viva la resistance.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Shave Tucker carlsons head, then parade him around shirtless on a horse so people can gather to pelt him with rotten cabbages.

All that will do is get all the men 18-60 who are being prevented from leaving Ukraine and being forced to fight Russia...slaughtered.

Biden Weighs Deploying Thousands of Troops to Eastern Europe and Baltics
The president is also considering deploying warships and aircraft to NATO allies, in what would be a major shift from its restrained stance on Ukraine.

#####

Yes, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania will be next.
Crank up the nukes!  Putin is basically threatening to nuke anyone who tries to stop his conquests.

Putin got very rich very quickly.
He used to be a poor cab driver.

He owns a billion dollar palace;
