  • Sounds like Putin might be getting nervous.

    • The thoughtful discussion on this podcast amounts to one message. Russia is an entire nation of people with shit for brains and this is what happens when for generations many millions of people live in a closed society with leaders who can and do tell them what and how to think. They literally can't think for themselves. It's like an inbred brain injury.

      I could probably say this about only less than half the people in the United States.

      Gessen's book The Future is History is my next nonfiction read. They've given several fascinating interviews since the war started.

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  • This was anchored off the coast of Tel Aviv for about a week when I was there. Looked like a warship out there.

                    • Putin wants to use chemical weapons, so here comes Tucker Carlson to help him promote a fake narrative about the US working with Ukraine to develop biological weapons which Putin is going to try to use as a justification.

                      We know who Putin is, but it's hard to fathom how any American, even Tucker Carlson, would be so depraved as to be a party to this. I really hope this isn't what happens. But Putin wasn't supposed to be dumb enough to go as far as he has to this point. Unfortunately all bets are off now. You also can't assume he is incapable of such an atrocity given that he has already done it in Syria.

                              If the governments of Russia and China love what you're saying, it must be complete shit.

                              • Within the Tweet thread showing Carlson and Gabbard to be the dumb Russian shills that they are there is a link to an essay by a Chinese foreign policy expert. It was clearly written for a Chinese audience, and was translated several days after it was written. It's a quick, interesting read, contains various possible outcomes, and ends with the following:

                                To demonstrate China’s role as a responsible major power, China not only cannot stand with Putin, but also should take concrete actions to prevent Putin’s possible adventures. China is the only country in the world with this capability, and it must give full play to this unique advantage. Putin’s departure from China’s support will most likely end the war, or at least not dare to escalate the war. As a result, China will surely win widespread international praise for maintaining world peace, which may help China prevent isolation but also find an opportunity to improve its relations with the United States and the West.
                                I hope Xi read it.
