No, no, let's hear from poor, misunderstood Putin. F**k right off and back to your hole! ---

FAFO. Always projecting.

Yes, I have heard the same. You don't see him interact with anyone. He keeps his distance. I have no doubt that he is paranoid about Covid and a lot of other things.

Every time the pound the ground about "freedom", they only mean freedom for their own beliefs. Not your freedoms or beliefs. This is the right. This is who they are.

You actually need to sell the oil to realize any gains. So, as long as there are sanctions in place and Russian oil cannot be bought/sold, then the worry about Putin getting richer is a nonstarter. You have to ask yourself, why do the alt-right always want to appease Putin and let him do what he wants? Hmmm....

We bid on it with Saskatoon. Lost it to Alberta.

CPAC is Conservative Political Action Conference in the US. Not a station.

They should confiscate and use it to fund the Ukraine!

Can exploit but won't.

Smarter and richer too. Russia is nothing compared to China. They are the world power now.

The oligarchs basically live in Europe, with their families. You take away their money or access to it, and things suddenly become real for them. Right now, they just continue to play.

I wish Finland and Sweden would join NATO. Ukraine too. Ef the Russians.

If you think that the West is already too soft on Russia, which they have been, they're going to stay far away from putting any meaningful sanctions on China. They didn't even flinch when China imposed it's will on Hong Kong.

China is Russia's saviour and has already lowered the cost of grain sales to Russia. If we're going to crush Russia, which is what the West really needs to do, until they submit, they'll need to take on China too. We're are entering a new cold war - Europe and North America - Russia and China.

And, the XFL has a partnership to do just that with the NFL. If the NFL had no interest in a development league, they wouldn't partner with anyone for development. And, they just did.

This was the original content that you jumped on.

Gifs are good content.

I think you're just moving the goal posts. The NFL is always looking for partners who they can work with. They just don't want to put their own money up.

They literally have partnered with the XFL to help develop the game. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33341262/xfl-petri-dish-football-innovation-prospect-development-part-partnership-agreement-nfl The NFL-XFL agreement will give the NFL a "petri dish" to experiment with proposed rules, test new equipment and develop prospective officials and coaches, XFL president Russ Brandon told ESPN. A Buffalo Bills executive for two decades, Brandon said NFL officials routinely discussed the need for such an outlet after NFL Europe shuttered in 2007.

I'm sure that there is some truth to that. Once the Russians lost the WH, they turned their attentions elsewhere.

Trump's are big money launderers. That's how they get their loans.

The West is to blame for taking his and fellow oligarchs money and laundering it. But, he's a dictator, invading a sovereign, democratic country. If we were not beholden to the uber-rich, most peoples lives would be far better and Russia would not be murdering Ukrainians.

Yup. We're already seeing the talking points show up in the World Politics thread, blaming Biden for Putin invading Ukraine. Useful idiots.

NATO has continued to provide them weapons, training and funds for many years. What else are you suggesting other than a proxy war?

Trump blocked support for Ukraine, holding funds hostage until they made up stuff against his political opponents. He was impeached for it. His second impeachment.
