Our dumbass admin needs to stop talking to the press about what we are doing for points with the media and just get stuff done. We could have had the jets in there weeks ago if people would just shut up.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

You're missing the point. The virtue signaling is more important than actually doing anything.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

The two conspiracy bro's at work have theories:


Con-bro #1: NATO is establishing one-world government.

Volodymyr and Vladimir are working together to destroy Ukraine.

Zelensky is besties with Justin Trudeau - so there!


Con-bro #2:  They're going after Putin because he's not down with the Great Reset.

Also, there's no war going on in Ukraine.

Moscow asking Beijing for military help - reports

Russia is asking China for both military and economic assistance, according to reports in the Financial Times and New York Times newspapers.

Moscow wants Beijing to provide military supplies to use in Ukraine, the FT says.

Citing unnamed US officials, the FT reported that Russia had been requesting Chinese equipment since the start of the invasion. The officials declined to specify what kind of equipment Russia is seeking.

The report added that there were indications that China may be preparing to help.

A separate report in the New York Times - again citing US officials - alleges Russia is also asking for economic assistance to mitigate the impact of sanctions.

China has so far sought to portray itself as neutral in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and has not condemned the invasion.

On Monday US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is expected to hold talks with a top Chinese foreign policy official, Yang Jiechi, in Rome.

Speaking to NBC on Sunday, Sullivan said the US would "ensure that China nor anyone else" can compensate Russia for its economic losses.

The manly hero of Ukraine, Zelensky, lol.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

China is saying that the reports of Russia asking China for help are not truth. You know, because China always tells the truth.
Note: I myself actually doubt Russia did but who knows at this point.

Elon Musk challenges Putin to a duel

In a bizarre turn of events, US tech billionaire Elon Musk appears to have challenged Russian president Vladimir Putin to a one-on-one fight, suggesting that the winner decide the fate of Ukraine.

Ukrainian politicians so far have welcomed the offer, which may have been made tongue-in-cheek. Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko, himself a former boxer, replied with three strong arm emojis.

The Russian president is yet to respond. Musk has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine throughout the invasion.

Earlier this month one of the companies owned by the California-based tech entrepreneur, Starlink, supplied Ukraine with a number of satellite dishes intended to protect internet access in the country.

Yeah, Jaco is known for being a real classy customer. He also had the honor of being the guy that recorded Todd Akin saying some unremarkable remarks that people blew out of proportion.
