Jesus. In addition to being hunted by rockets, cruise missles and heavily armed foot soldiers- now the guy has 400 trained killers after him.

Sanctions are employed widely for many reasons, and are not considered in effect some act of war.  War is a pretty specific thing.

perhaps secret agent 007 could take out Putin?

Maybe don't watch the newest one
was very disappointed in that one. 

Daniel Craig is by far the best Bond to me, and Casino Royale and Skyfall the best Bond films. 

I can understand why he didn’t want to do it anymore, but it sucks to see him go. 

I hope they reboot it and do almost like an origin story. Start with a childhood Bond do cutback scenes almost like Nolan did with Batman Begins. Find a youngish actor who can play mid 20s and do the role for 5-6 movies and 15 years like Craig did.

Biden admin says, hey guys if this goes nuclear and you don’t die from nuclear blast, radiation/fallout, or nuclear winter….please social distance bc COVID!!!!

Yeah bc that’s what we’ll all be worried/thinking about if nuclear exchange happens, lol.

Maybe we could focus discussion on the topic here, instead of whatever Biden or Macron is saying ....

so in a really weird story and just to show you how extreme elements of the Ukraine govt became post US-backed coup in 2014- American action star Steven Seagal was banned from ever entering Ukraine by the government in 2016 or 2017- because they considered him a national security threat. 

True story. I guess they thought his action films where he kills shitloads of people with his bare hands were documentaries and got afraid?

I can be in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in less than 8 hours - probably close to 7 hours if the speed limit isn't being enforced.

Yeah, never said anything about what Macron is saying nor do I care. The French bitchboy is an ineffective and weak leader who has no real power outside of his own country- just think it’s funny how no one respects him and he seems clueless or oblivious to why. 

And Saudis keeping energy prices high by refusing to ramp up production and nuclear war and the official gov’t nuclear explosion guidance this administration has put forth are directly related to this topic, so, um, yeah.

So….looks like Biden is f**ked because of his own making. Biden still refuses to speak to MbS and has picked a feud with the one man who could help him keep oil prices stable in MbS. The French bithcboy Macron visited MbS on behalf of Biden to ask him about increasing production and MbS told him to kick rocks. Is there a more ineffective, useless leader in all the western world than Macron? Literally no one respects him lol. Putin told him to pound sand you’ve got no power I’m not negotiating with you and MbS just told him the same thing. Saudis will not push OPEC+ to increase production.
You did complain here about Biden and Macron.  I'm asking that such posts be limited in the interest of discussing the topic, not political personalities and what you think of them.  If you want to post what Biden or Macron DID, related to this, fine, just limit the OPINIONS.

No troll. The CNN Twitter “post” that people were retweeting seriously where Seagal was with Russian forces on the Ukrainian front was - just that trolling. People fell for hook line and sinker not seeing it as parody, but turns out it was just parody and not true. 

As for Steven Seagal being banned from Ukraine, that actually happened. I was shocked when I read it. They’re banning washed up 80s/90s action stars now? Whose next, Bruce Willis? Hey if it stops these guys from making terrible direct to dvd/streaming movies- I’m all for that.

I'd be happy if we banned Steven Seagal movies here in the USA, how do we make that happen?
