oh he's a phenomenal actor, don't get me wrong. he's in many of my favorite movies and he's really just a fantastic actor. just a bit of a talking out of both sides of your mouth virtue signaling doucher if you ask me.

just how much money do you have to have to be able to just donate $10 million on a whim lol. he's got to be worth $400-500 million, easy. he's been making $25 million or more per movie since after Titanic made him the biggest movie star on planet earth. That was 25 years ago. he's been in a lot of movies since then.
Just a coincidence I'm sure someone let slip that he happens to be helping the popular cause of the moment.He's probably all upset and embarrassed by that

I mentioned a few days back about that long caravan being so prominent in the news a week ago is now, well, not.

I think it's an example of how the media report a thing and gin it up into a major story when often it's just not.  A week later ... whoosh.

We all see this routinely of course and I'm sure take a lot of the gin with a grain of lime juice.

Yeah, so this is not exactly true. 8% of all US oil imports come from Russia. That's not an insignificant amount. And the US was still importing Russian oil, after Russia's invasion with Ukraine. It never stopped. Now it will. By action of executive action. And this will not be the only country which does this. The US is the leader of the West. If we do this, others will follow.




It is too inevitable that a thread started to discuss an ongoing conflict devolves into rising gas prices. Not to mention how surging wheat prices will compound the early stages of famines unfolding in South Sudan, Yemen, and Afghanistan.

“Millions of the world’s poorest people could face the threat of starvation as Russia’s war in Ukraine hampers wheat supplies and causes prices to rocket, humanitarian agencies are warning.

Countries in the Middle East and North Africa including Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Tunisia are heavily dependent on grain from Ukraine, which is known as the “breadbasket of Europe” and accounts for about 10 per cent of global supplies.

The number of people facing potential starvation worldwide has already risen from 80 million to 276 million prior to the war. Sanctions-hit Russia also provides about 30 per cent of the world’s wheat.

It comes at a time when many countries are already facing growing food insecurity due to the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on supply chains, conflict and climate change, which is reversing years of development gains.”

This may be roughly accurate, from the NYT, I don't see anything shocking there.  Ukraine needs to retain the West around Lviv as much as possible for supplies from the West.

Nope.  Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan are not the topics of this thread.

You know better.

Do better.  Be better.

@CatsbyAZ 

Potential recession and grain shortages are good topics.  In some cases they're related to Russia's war in Ukraine, but they're better topics for another thread.  They just open the door to too much other non-related stuff and there are some posters here who struggle mightily with staying on topic.

I won't delete your post but anyone that would like to pursue it further, please do it elsewhere.

There's already a global economics discussion occurring on the News thread, this conversation would fit in well over there.

US putting patriot missile systems in Poland. That probably won't escalate tensions. Don't like where this is heading....at all.

US and Poland playing hot potato over Poland's Mig-29 aircraft. US publicly says go ahead Poland, give those fighter jets to Ukraine. Poland responds publicly saying they'll give the fighter jets to US and that US can fly them into Ukraine. US then says no we can't do that, we can't take that risk. Poland says- but you wanted us to? Pretty shrewd move by Poland there.

Congressman Thomas Massie bringing this to light: so neo-con royalty and current Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland- who worked for both the Bush II and Obama administrations- and was the key US diplomat in Ukraine under Obama and a top player in plotting and executing the US-backed coup of a democratically elected gov't in Ukraine in 2014- in which leaked phone conversations of her talking to another US diplomat showed she literally hand-picked the next Ukrainian government- just testifies under oath that Ukraine has "biological research facilities" and is concerned Russia will get their hands on them. If they are just benign "biological research facilities" - then what's the worry?



https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1501637637668548613?s=20&t=6y8ssyYgNrK-3b0TLqfAsw

And here's Nuland completely odd and strange exchange with Little Marco Rubio who still looks like he's about 13 years old and probably just as stupid as your average 13 year old. Nuland never flatly denies anything and then admits to Ukraine "biological research facilities". It's a pretty shocking admission and exchange that I didn't think Rubio was ready for.
