Top notch. Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment

Top notch. Thanks for sharing this. Agreed. She does a great job of tying in past European history to what is going on currently in Russia. I always felt that a great history teacher (my undergrad major was in History) is one who can make the past relative and applicable to the now. Link to comment

Scarlet Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 We'll see but it wouldn't be surprising to see Russia pull the nuke card now and blame it on Ukrainian terrorists. Link to comment

This is clearly a set up so that Russia can use one and blame it on Ukraine. I was trying to not believe that Russia would do this.....till they started saying this stuff. Now, it's clear they are considering it. 1 Link to comment

ZRod Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 3 hours ago, commando said: things must be really bad for russia Same old song and dance from Vlad. Get everyone together at the table for "negotiations". Set some unreasonable expectation that they know the West and Ukraine will not acquiesce to. Then say it's the West that is being unreasonable, not Russia. War continues on. Rinse, lather, repeat! 1 Link to comment
Scarlet Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I can't face palm the idiocy of this enough. Let's stop while a verified war criminal is reeling so that we can get some feels good about "peace" and allow said war criminal to reconstitute his forces for another assault on a sovereign democratic country. Nevermind the billions we already spent helping to put the war criminal on rubber legs street. Then there's the timing of it. Link to comment

Time to crush what Russia is doing and not give them a way of escape. Terrible timing. I wonder how many Russian bots were sending encouraging words to these Democrats much less to the GOPers who are already backing away. 1 Link to comment
