That could end in January.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. A whole lot of things are gonna happen between now and then.

The US can't be relied on for anything.

Unfortunately this is true.

It's like some people can't think past what they are being told by a spin room.

Ukraine wouldn't exist right now if his statement was true. But he feels a way about it and refuses to look at anything other than what's not perfect.

Plus, there's the pesky little problem of being a democracy with a free press, and not having any binding treaty obligations with Ukraine to provide for its defense.

No it's not. I mean, you can ignore the billions upon billions in aid and support sent and also political support. That doesn't meant the US is going to ignore their responsibilities to their own country as well. The considerations when determining how much and what kind of support to give the EU and Ukraine are enormously complicated. Uttering an at best, partially true one-liner like this is unhelpful.

The US can and should be criticized for some things, definitely but to say she can't be relied on for anything is silly talk.

He's just paranoid. Afraid that he may be invaded by escalating the war in UKR. He probably thinks the west will attack him for sending troops to russia. But, if we did attack him, the lack of roads wouldn't be a problem.

It looks to me like they unbolted the two signs in the photo, turned them upside down, and then rebolted them to their posts. Upside down, both signs.

I wonder what that means in Korean culture.

I think we're maybe going to need a Korean War thread.


On Edit, I played with that photo after posting and after blowing it up to huge, I find that the yellow sign is right side up, however I still think the other sign is upside down. What does that mean???
