I think international diplomacy is exceedingly complicated. There is not a good way to write a paragraph or even a long post on solving the issue.

He's stable, you know what he will bring every game. Perfect example of a bottom 6 forward and a valuable veteran in a room of kids.

Im not worried about links to twitter. Twitter still has the most users, my concern? thoughts? I am unsure the word but my observation is the author of the posts matters more and I am less concerned that it comes from twitter. Idk if that makes sense.

Did you not comment on the vehicle (bluesky) first?

But that implies Zelensky should give in to Trump because Putin won't. That seems backwards. Personally I think the US would quite quickly win a war in which its strategic goal was to push Russian forces out of Ukraine. I am not even sure you would need boots on the ground. You would however need planes in the sky so maybe that's quibbling on my part. But no, I do not want the US to openly go to war with Russia. That said if Putin says no, you continue the economic sanctions on Russia, maybe impose more, and you continue to support the war effort with material. If the goal is simply end the war, than Zelensky should just surrender to Putin and cede Ukraine to Russia, would that not end the war fastest?

The US doesnt hear that though. They get almost no updates on what is happening at the front because US news is a constant cycle of fearmongering, rage baiting, and otherwise trying to entertain. I routinely have to use sources outside of the US to get a picture of what is going on in Ukraine.

Are you aware that while my sources may be posting on bluesky they are far more centric than most of your sources? For example "end wokeness" "libs of tiktok" or Erik Dougherty are all far right posting sources regardless of where they post that information. Libs of Tiktok for example is a pure rage baiting engagement farm. They seem to have less credibility than AP, CNN, BBC. I even have a fox news one in there somewhere. If bluesky is far left, than what is twitter? What if it impacts me, are they cuts still reasonable then?

And how does this make you feel?

Why isnt Trump applying pressure to Russia to sign a deal? Why is that?

"random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years" which was both incorrect and him putting his foot in his mouth with Britain and France taking offense.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cly28qvp83pt US is pulling intelligence assistance from Ukraine because the United States supports and is aligned with the Russian State. Russia is delighted by what has happened, in fact they are very very happy with the outcome. The US is isolating itself from allies, it has caught off all aid to Ukraine, and it is openly talking about leaving NATO. So you tell me, how is Trump not a Russian supporter? Russia wants to take apart the West and carve it up into a new empire. That agenda has been advanced rapidly by Trump because he aligns with it. He wants to carve up the West as well. He wants Canada, Greenland, Panama. He wants access to Ukraine and thinks the Russians will give it to him. Putin plays Trump like the little bitch Trump is. You flatter him and tell him his clothes look nice and swear fealty and Trump will cuddle right up to you. The US economy is rapidly imploding. Our standing on the world stage is permanently changed and we are no longer viewed as the leaders of the Western World. Donald Trump likes Vladimir Putin better than he does the ***** Canadians. The United States is now more aligned with Russia, a brutal oligarchical dictatorship, than it is with the freedom and principles of a democracy. The chances of us having a free and fair election is doubtful, Trump will use and employ Putin's ideology to stay in power. We are descending into Christian fascism. Don't believe me, go listen to ppl like JD Vance, MTG, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and project 2025. I didn't make this up, and I am not a conspiracy theorist. They literally have said it and wrote it down.

Trump supports and is aligned with Putin. If Putin tells him to, Trump will find a pretext to do it, he is already laying the groundwork. JD Vance's diplomacy towards Europe has pushed every single country there away from the United States. The US government is now run by Putin supporters and lickspittles.

Kevyn rolling into work Friday:

I said bluntly Kevyn was a liar when he lied about the coaching search. I was largely called out for it but low and behold, Adams lied about it. He's the guy who does what Terry wants and I think only randomly do we get to see others push through their ideas. For example, I think the McLeod trade is the analytics departments idea but I also bet they sold it by contrasting the 6'2" center to the 5'9" winger and that is what got Terry on board. "Hey terry we should trade Savoie because we already got Benson who is just better Savoie and we could get this 6'2" center instead, sound good? Here's a nice Pinot Noir while you think it over."

Trump doesn't have any of his own ideas

Kevyn Adams is basically a lame duck GM.

The Sabres are faster, more skilled, more experienced, and their defense is better than Rochesters

Europe has 2 years roughly. They need to hit fast forward now. Anything west of Oder river is going to be open to Putin when Trump exits NATO.

Terry's a mich ultra guy Edit: actually red wine 🍷

Yea and you can just watch the news to see that these days.

Celebrini has more help than Bedard.
