For the record, I don’t give a flying fuck about “The Ukraine.” There appears to be some sort of rabid jingoism taking place on the hard left in this country regarding war and our alleged allies in the Ukraine. I will never advocate for the loss of American lives over business interests. You can read it over again if you like and understand that my loyalty only lies with the people who live in my country and the servicemen who live in it. I view these things as a parent of two boys and always put it into this context: “would I want my boys fighting and dying for the fucking Ukraine?”
Don’t even mention democracy.That ship sailed a long time ago.
That answer will always be no.
Futures are +125 and it seems like madmen are out bidding them up, ahead of what appears to be escalation. There has been no diplomatic breakthroughs and Ukraine is still out talking greasy about Russia, poking them in the chest if you will. Large convoys of Russian mechanized units have been seen STEAMING towards Ukraine and I suspect we might get a bad headline or two before the week is over.

Abso-fucking-lutely No
At least Brandon agrees with you on that. Thank God.
The neocons from the Bush-McCain era belong to the past.
People don’t actually care about Putin and Ukraine because they still are irrelevant.
But good on Vlad. He is rapidly becoming the most hated man on earth since bin Laden.
Yes, sure, OK. Geopolitical issues are of no consequence to the US. Once again, markets defy logic. SMH.
So What is the correct response. Putin is Xi’s lap dog just like fat boy Kim.
