  • Russia's monetary system is in collapse and its economy is in free fall... the war took up 45% of its budget last year, its foreign exchange reserves have long since run dry and its first defensive line is slowly crumbling.

    If it ends up being a war of endurance, Russia's going to be in a far worse position in a year than they are now.

  • In my 20s, I always pointed out that the empirical evidence shows that, as people get older, their political positions generally just... become harder-line versions of the positions they held in their 20s.

    As time has passed, that's born out. I'm still a leftie, just a franker and more ticked off one.

  • Some people think if you hate the same people hard enough, you're on the same side -- and the Proud Boys were happy to have someone brown as their front guy for a while there. "See? It's about values!"

    The reality is that plenty of them hate his guts for not being white, I remember these guys split into two factions a while back based ok whether they would accept brown people who hated other brown people hard enough or not.

  • In fairness to France, weren't they kicked out of Haiti like 198 years ago? That feels like asking Spain to intervene to stabilize the Venezualan economy.

    Not being facetious, genuinely curious what I'm missing.
