If this doesn't break their backs, I don't know what would. All depends how successfully the electorate’s attention is diverted from this and onto something probably far less consequential, like trans athletes in women’s sports.

romad1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Random this morning. I read a couple posts about the Tigers going to Outback Steakhouse for their FA pickups (what was Javy Baez?) and then I decided I wanted that for dinner and my buddy asks me: "what is their stance on Russia?" and I looked it up and they apparently are not in the Russia market. However, the Outback Steakhouse Pac does give to GOP candidates more than any other party (you'd expect them not be major contributors to Angela Davis or Gus Hall). So, I went on OpenSecrets and made sure no money went to the bad 8 GOP candidates who voted against revoking most favored nation trade status. https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/outback-steakhouse/C00253153/candidate-recipients/2020 I see an Elise Stefanik in there (she was not a bad 8 member but has been awful wrt impeachment) but I also see some key impeachment votes like Gonzalez and Riggleman So, when I searched on twitter I got this hit Edited March 19, 2022 by romad1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 This war exists in the imagination. In his mind Putin believes it is a mid-20th century war or one like the Red Army might have launched in the Central front of Germany. In the mind of the Ukrainian people this is the American Revolution or any number of other wars of liberation in which a lavishly-funded popular revolution fought a floundering global power. In the mind of the Putin Wing of the GOP its a distraction from Hunter Biden's laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Putin is testing the US and will keep pushing the limits because he wants war with the US. I don't beleive he respects or fears Biden. The way his military looks he better fear the US military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin keeps pushing the limits hitting civilians, hospitals and other civilian targets. This isn't our war to fight and staying out it is about the only thing the Biden admin has done I agree with. It doesn't change the fact that Biden is extremely weak and Putin takes advantage of that. You are taking a quote from a topic that facts and evidence were available.

It's standard Russian operation procedure to try to beat a civilian population into submission when the probability of winning on the battlefield starts to waver. And Putin is more than glad to go that route because we have to remember that he draws his understanding of state morality in a straight line from Genghis Khan. All decisions have complex antecedents, but I would guess this fact figures higher in Putin's decisions right now that whatever he is thinking about the US. It can also be read as sign of relative desperation because the last thing his generals want is to give the West a real world look at his best/most secret capabilities.

Its easy for the out of power party to play those games. Requires no evidence, no cost, no discipline.
