Hey, don't underestimate the Russian ability to fuck up and have a massive industrial accident on their own!

An interesting article on the Jewish perspective inside Ukraine:

Anecdotally, this rings true to me from what I know.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I expect conservative outrage about Lloyd Austin not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. :P

Closed suits without tie looks strange somehow.

The guy on the left in particular looks like he's just thrown on the jacket for some random reason.

That's the US SecDef, and he needs a new tailor.

Am I ignorant of how expensive suits should look like, or does Blinken's suit look like he packed it into a small plastic shopping back for travel, and unpacked it five minutes before this shot?

It's a weird look for this kind of meeting. I guess that since the other guys were all wearing green fatigues they felt that they had to dress down a little, but it doesn't work too well.

Quote from: Josquius on April 23, 2022, 12:40:20 PMOur conservatives led large military cut backs including withdrawing the last navy ship from the soft Atlantic and completely ignoring intelligence of a likely argentine invasion. So....

But it wasn't the military part I find daft. It's that the left are the ones only concerned with their image.

Ignore that he called out "the left", and realize he's talking about Justin Trudeau.

That's missing Josq's point - that plenty of folks on the right (and in the centre) who are primarily concerned with image.
