    Something is definitely off with Putin makes me wonder if he is just mentally unstable and nobody has the balls to do anything about it.


    Would not be surprised if a coup attempt of some sort happens.

    The biggest example is the West's response to the Crimea invasion. The response was pathetic and a lot of that has to do with countries like Germany that prioritized trade and investment with Russia over the security of Ukraine and the rest of Europe.

    Trump is an absolute moron but he was right about the lack of investment by most NATO countries (especially Germany). I'm glad to see that this is finally changing but no one should be making apologies for Germany.

    It's pretty sick that you are using this crisis as a talking point for "gun rights", especially given the Ukraine's firearm restrictions.

    You're embarrassing legitimate gun owners/users, and not helping to further the discussion at all, so just ****ing stop it.

    Like I said, whatever you think about German obligations to NATO (and I'm on your side with this), it would not move the needle in this situation at all.

    You are completely wrong about this. Germany funded Putin's war machine, instead of funding NATO. It's just factually incorrect to say this had no bearing on the turn of events.

    Putin got embarrassed by Ukrainian. He thought he was just gonna roll in and overtake Ukrainian in one day and they made him look like a b**** by fighting back successfully. Now with social media you can’t lie to the public or try to hide what is happening. He successfully embarrassed his country and got b****ed slapped doing it

    Man, I wonder what would happen if Zelensky is killed.

    That would really be a unifying moment for the Anti-Putinists.

    "A week ago, the Vienna Philharmonic’s three-night stop at Carnegie Hall, which began Friday, was remarkable mostly for signifying a major step in the slow return of international orchestras to New York. Then Russia invaded Ukraine.

    The Viennese had been set to be conducted by Valery Gergiev, a frequent magnet for protests at Carnegie Hall over his close ties with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Both Carnegie and the Philharmonic had previously been outspoken about separating Gergiev’s politics and his artistry, even though his artistry is inseparable from the government."

    <snip>

    "Nézet-Séguin didn’t merely keep time or hold the Philharmonic together; he led them with passion and decisive interpretation. And Cho didn’t simply get through the concerto; he played it from memory, with moments of sublime delicacy. This was expert music-making, notable for happening at all and miraculous in its execution."
