In actual fact the USSR floated the idea of joining NATO. And this is not BS. In the 1950s it was suggested at the highest levels of the Soviet hierarchy that they actually make an offer to the West to do so. I'd guess that the logic was to counter the UK/USA influence over Europe.

If they'd gone ahead - the would have made Ukraine join NATO at that point!

I heard that they are pumping out TRUMP 2024 merch to undermine democracy in the USA.

My feeling about him is, whatever he thinks is best we should do because he's a hell of a human being. But, if his baby has a cold, don't hand that baby to him because he'll back up and look horrified.

Now to be fair, Ms Campos Duffy has birthed 9 children so that had more affect on her body than the pants.

Duffy and Campos were both on different seasons of MTV's the Real World so they were first famous for being on a reality show. That has to be some kind of a curse on man kind, right?

When Doocy wears his glasses, he looks like a child play-acting with mee-maw's specs. Except children that do that will probably stop eating paste eventually and at least have a chance to grow up a reasonably intelligent and well-adjusted human adult, and Doocy blew his chance at that.

That is why Trump had his secret Chinese bank account. Those bribes don't just pay themselves!

Fox is putting her out there to be as crazy as possible and then have the others on that couch rebut her and, as a result, look smarter and more patriotic. Fox is knee deep in this mess and is trying to get out as fast as possible. Their next problem is "What about the Tuck."

When dealing with a spouter of Putin's line that the issue was potentially having a NATO member on his border, point out that if Ukraine is absorbed into Russian control that current NATO members Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania will be on his border.

Then go make popcorn while they try to re-set their programming...

Also too they seem to forget all those Baltic nations that are already in NATO and border Russia. If not for their NATO memberships they would either have been swallowed up already or be staring down that eventual fate.

But then, these people are professional idiots and wouldn't know the Baltics from balsamic vinaigrette. Fuck 'em.

Russia's market cap' has gone way down, Xi is smart to think about a leveraged buyout. He's got his own mass army, but oil & gas are always useful. Also many good places to put displaced minorities,

China and Russia together. The communism, it is monolithic again, amongst these two countries which do not qualify for "communist" by any real measure but are certainly both authoritarian.
