Russia has absolutely nothing to gain by doing this. They will be living in squalor for decades. No meaningful economic growth will happen there. They aren't going to win anything.

It's sounds like we aren't helping them, but the logistics to get this going is massive. Plus they can be used to go much deeper past the border of Ukraine , which would result in NATO getting dragged into conflict we don't want.

Arming them with anti aircraft and tanks in plentiful amounts is the best strategy we can give them.

No need to keep it open under the current regime. They have less than zero interests in human rights. The world has seen it first hand.

Agreed. With everything poured into their country and they allow the Taliban roll them over in days, they made their choice and now have to live with it.

They simply do not want to live in freedom or make any sacrifices for such.

Ukraine deserves all the aid they get because they choose to fight for their freedoms instead of rolling over

I don't know why such the celebration for a evil enabler of sexual abuse of children. He was the protector of piddlers.

But thats religion for you.

He went to Genovia, looking to hook up with a princess who wanted to rebel against her royal lineage.

Then he had to tell he who he actually was.

Hallmark Cinematic Universe all the way

Sounds odd. Sounds like an over entitled rich white American family. I'm sure he wasn't in any danger. He wasnt really missing, he went off the grid for awhile doing dumb shit he would be embarrassed about.

He reminded me of having the temperament of a Mr. Rogers. He was an amazing person. And taught my generation many things that were of value. Which seems lost today.

His contribution to underserved children was profound.

EU parliament has declared Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism". Now it's time for the world to declare that as well. I know it won't happen, but it would send a message.

This man should be applauded for his defiance. Iran needs a revolution and overthrow of their government. Period. They will never survive at this rate if they don't.

Hurry up, he's running for president in 2024. Got to wrap that investigation soon. /s

Wondering would be it. It would be so quick you won't feel a thing.

As they said that ship has sailed. And they will run out of water.

So what's the GOP plan for immigration then? /s

Wait till we get the treatment resistant and vaccine resistant strains. Then the fun will begin. /s

There is almost always back channels in which diplomats speak even though in the media they are odds with each other.

It's when the back channels go radio silent, then I would start worrying.

They are all fake. The religious leaders used the religion as a power play while their offspring is on European holiday snorting coke and having the time of their lives.

Iranian people need to continue to fight and protest to overthrow a bigoted bunch of old religious men.

Doesn't baffle me. They have always have been awful, they just needed to be enabled.

Nah. They will always believe their own bullshit no matter what you tell them. They need to play the victim and "own the libs".

All they want to do is blame those who don't align with their malaise, instrsd of realizing it's because of their own self inflicted problems and issues.

I just don't waste my time.
