Politicians are afraid Putin may end their money laundering of tax dollars.

Waiting for the Biden voters to come out of their closet and admit they elected an incompetent dolt.

If true...this changes a LOT of things and might open the doors to not only war crimes but might cause us as well as other nations to get actively involved pretty damn fast

I know, NYT. Maybe this answers the question of why Ukraine was never accepted into NATO.

In a 2020 analysis, Transparency International, an anticorruption watchdog, ranked Ukraine 117th out of 180 countries on its corruption index, lower than any NATO nation.

Yep, better not upset Putin. That worked out really good.
The diplomat said there was no appetite to anger the Russians further over the issue next month. A NATO diplomat said debate between the 26 NATO allies on the communique on Georgia and Ukraine could continue into the ministers’ meeting.

US military leaders hard at work, planning strategy to counter the invasion. Don't worry folks, we've got our top men working on it. Top. Men.

from Wikipee:

The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing and protracted conflict that started in February 2014, primarily involving Russia and pro-Russian forces on one hand, and Ukraine on the other. The war initially centered on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, which are internationally recognised as part of Ukraine. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine erupted especially from 2021 to 2022, when it became apparent that Russia was considering launching a military invasion of Ukraine. In February 2022, the crisis deepened with diplomatic talks with Russia failing and escalated as Russia moved forces into the separatist controlled regions on 22 February 2022. On 24 February, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

I've got this little getup and we're considering going underground. We're launching drones into our underground tanks to see if they'll support life. Great fallout shelters.

Yes, but someone will have to stay topside as hole watch.

[JetMechZ16]

I was kidding about us going in the tanks. Because the product reacts with the slightest amount of humidity and produces HCL gas we are flying drones in under a blanket of N2. We won't put anyone into an IDLH situation. You see the tube going in the manway? It's sampling the O2 content, N2 is being introduced at the other end of the tank to keep the atmosphere inert.

Also Euro-Queers at that, I don't believe any of them are American personnel.

I don't have to worry about any of that, because I died from the tax cuts and net neutrality already.
