1984Echoes

I think it was perfectly fine what he said, and it needed to be said, on the World Stage, not just in the minds of people. And he didn't go as far as what Graham said, basically, "He needs to be assassinated." I'm not even making a complaint that Graham shouldn't have said that (he shouldn't have...); but that is a bridge too far for President Biden, and he didn't go that far. "Cannot remain the Russian President" is a truism; and not an outrageous one for Biden to voice. IMO.

Maybe... But I'm going to give this coaching administration some time to see what they can do with these players... even our previously failed players...

As long as we are not in the #2 spot I absolutely hope Chet goes #2.

I'm hoping exactly this as well.. We'll see what they do/ or do not learn from this. I hope it's not more belligerence. It doesn't bother me "China Rising"... but do they rise up as a belligerent nation (their current path) or as a nation looking to benefit the entire world with whatever finance/ expertise/ leadership that they can. I don't know that they'll be able to find their way from one path to the other... But I hope (however faintly) that you are right.

At least enough to make Putin shit his pants. I'm not certain that's good enough (for me)... but realistically, yours is the more correct position. In some way/ shape/ or form I would like the Japanese to take advantage of the current situation and not just sit back diplomatically...

PS: One more thing: Kick Russia off the UN Security Council, right now. They never filed the correct paperwork. Make them do it. Then the US can hold off allowing them back on in perpetuity... until they change their fucking fascist leadership and prove they will respect other countries and not shit all over them.

PS: Yes.

I didn't hear about that.... Been busy working all day.... I know they damaged several Russian amphibious landing ships yesterday, with anti-ship rockets... but I thought that was in Mariupol...

I think Georgia should also take back the two breakaway regions stolen by Russia. Right now. And I would love it if Japan militarily took over the several "Kuril" islands that the Soviet Union took at the end of WWII. They were Japanese throughout history, I believe. Wipe all Russian forces off of those islands. I'm in the mood to challenge Putin in every way possible. Let's send Ukraine all the MIG's from Poland and Rumania that they want, right now.

That's actually quite a bit shocking, if true...

I would've said exactly the same thing, if not worse. In which universe should war criminals like Milosevic, Mussolini, Hitler, and Putin not be executed/ exterminated? With prejudice.

You have some seriously screwed up definitions of what Democracy is. And how it should be safeguarded.

Ditto on the 1971-80...

Hmmmm... I must be very into instantly gratifying glam!

I wanted them to sign UFA Filip Lindberg in the offseason, out of U-Mass. He's not much different from Ned... slightly larger at 6' 1", only 23, and very athletic like Ned. But the Penguins got him...

2022-23 Season: Greiss out, who do we get to back up Ned...?

That was a shitty 1st goal but... It's 2-0 anyways so, a bit of work to do to get back into the game. And they just blew a 5 on 3 with nothing to show for it so... I don't know what to say.

Yes. Unfortunately.

I think this would most likely be a majority opinion.

They need to be forceful responses. IMO. Not sanctions.

Just to flesh that out a bit... I like Changes and Life on Mars... but they're just ok songs to me... they don't knock it out of the park imo. And I know how popular Changes is, I actually do like the song... I just prefer other stuff by David Bowie. For example, aside from those two "decent" songs, the rest of the album is very meh to me... Except for one song that I think "knocks it out of the park": My favorite song on Hunky Dory is "Queen Bitch". A magnificent Bowie song...! This song really grabs me by the... ummm... yeah, ok... by the balls.

A comment on Sticky Fingers: I'm not really interested in listening to "Brown Sugar" anymore. And Wild Horses is too maudlin for me, at least as sung by the Stones. Oddly enough, I prefer even slower versions of that song by I-love-them-slow-core bands Mazzy Star, and The Sundays... The only thing that really only still holds my attention from Sticky Fingers is Can't You Hear me Knockin'. But I do love listening to The Sundays or Mazzy Star belting out their slow-core versions of Wild Horses (The Sundays I think is the better of the two...).

Oh, I'm sorry... But... The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust just completely blows Hunky Dory out of the sky. My apologies... 😁

I don't think there should be any wafting. If Russia uses those weapons, they need to "Crimes Against Humanity" declare war against Russia. I think they should do that right now, based on their current extensive list of war crimes. But I'm Teddy Roosevelt, or Ronald Reagan, and I like using the Big Stick. Not everyone is willing to hold my position. That's just my 2 cents.
