It was pretty obvious to me that thing flew over my building last night because I heard that dull roar, but since there's a hotel right next to my place and you always have wealthy kids zooming around in their Brabus SUVs on late-night dates with some animated girls, I didn't pay much attention. Then this morning, I see it actually crashed near Central Park.
It’s honestly just pure shock and disbelief. How can anyone actually believe in sanctions when half of this country's entire industrial backbone depends on Russia?
Vlatkica is alright. Just like everything else she does, she’s got zero talent when it comes to dancing, but she isn't ready for the retirement home just yet. She's still a total MILF.

If the Russians don't get what's happening here, then they're honestly beyond help. What, are they just like those Mexicans—where everyone’s against us and nobody actually gives a damn? Dammit, we've all been there at some point, right? That moment on a personal level where you think, "Wait, if everyone else is on one side and I'm standing alone, maybe *I'm* the actual problem." Will they ever hit that realization? Honestly, I'm pretty skeptical...
They'll all be rushing back the second the situation in Ukraine wraps up. This whole thing is just a massive PR stunt.

They’ll cave when they have to. The real question is how much longer this can be dragged out. They aren't going to see any Western aid unless it's strictly humanitarian. The surrounding cities are a mess, airports are completely trashed, and the power, water, and heating are all cut off. Honestly, I think Kyiv is the only place still holding onto electricity, but even they could lose it in a heartbeat if the Russians decide to pull the plug.
It's a trapped situation. They're going to end up signing a surrender eventually. Food is running low, and people aren't going to sit around and starve. They can't even leave the cities—even if they're granted an evacuation, they'll just get bombed again.
On another note, it looks like Pernar swiped some hard drives from the skipper's boat, and he's got a massive pile of personal gear stashed up there too. 🤣 🙏
I think someone might have touched on this already, but what if the Americans just decided to stop playing defense? Imagine if they just sent up a squadron of jets to intercept that slow-moving convoy mid-flight, blew everything out of the sky, and then touched back down at their bases.
Has a single plane actually taken off from either side yet?
Bryan Adams6 said:Feels like Putin's just scrambling to grab whatever he can before any ceasefire talks actually happen, mostly because his own ranks are a mess—tech failures, manpower shortages, logistics nightmares. He's throwing everything at the wall right now.
If they manage to push all the way to the Mississippi, seize New Orleans, and link up the entire coast with their territories, they’ll finally have some real leverage at the negotiating table. But honestly, how do they even plan on surviving long-term? Being totally cut off from the rest of the world isn't exactly a winning strategy.
The ultra-wealthy and those big-time oligarchs are hemorrhaging cash left and right. I can't recall the specific name off the top of my head, but there was this massive player in Russia who saw his net worth crater from $5 billion down to just $800 million practically overnight, and the bleeding hasn't stopped. I stumbled across an article about it yesterday.
there’s even a video of that Russian soldier who got greeted with tea and a sandwich—poor guy was just dying to grab a drink and get some food in him
and he's barely even 25 years old, honestly
I saw that clip over on Reddit.
The big question is whether he's even 20. You can see it all over his face—he's basically a child. They even called his mom on video chat and showed her what was happening.
Watching him tear into that sandwich and tea... man, you'd think he hadn't eaten in weeks.
Kyiv is going to be absolutely wrecked, just like Memphis. They'll be surrounded, their power and water will be cut off, and they won't have any food left. Everything looks fine right now—the city warehouses are still stocked—but things aren't going to end well. There's going to be shelling every single night, and half the city is going to be total rubble.
Ryan Vaughn7 said:It isn't stupid at all. Individual tennis players can play, Horoshilov can go skiing, and Cheryshev can still suit up for Valencia. Even Mazepin can drive Formula racing. On an individual level, everything is fine. But national teams? That's different. They represent the state—which right now is an aggressor and an outcast. And that’s okay. Why should a nation that invades and kills in another country without provocation get to compete in a World Cup and celebrate? It would be just great if Yugoslavia got to play in Euro 92 after what happened at Ovčar, wouldn't it?
The only reason he’s even in a seat is because his dad bought his way into the team by being close to Putin. But look, it looks like the Haas owner is going to dump Uralkali as a sponsor entirely. So, unless there's some official announcement I haven't heard yet, we probably won't see him on the grid at all.
By the way, thanks a lot for totally ruining the championship celebration for my favorite driver. We’re talking thirty-five or maybe even more pages of this thread filled with nothing but insults and absolute nonsense. And it’s not just me getting a ban for some totally irrelevant, stupid comment either. The whole topic has seen three bans: one for being rude, one for accusations of racism, and then me for being a "sore loser." You’re honestly one of the worst moderators on this entire forum. You're just indulging yourself at this point, but luckily for us, people like Nika don't have the time to deal with your garbage. You've turned this subforum into your own personal playground, handing out punishments based on whether you personally like someone or not.
Just being lazy, as usual. I haven’t picked any fights or played the troll here; I was just commenting on the race. Zoom has been quoting and insulting me for two weeks straight now, and I haven't even bothered to snap back. The only post of mine that actually vanished from the thread was my plea to the moderators to finally put an end to his nonsense—he keeps accusing anyone who isn't a Hamilton fan of being a racist, and then he turned around and called me homophobic just because I called Hamilton a stylist.
Look, those first few words, "I wasn't even here," tell you everything you need to know about your moderation style. You basically just saw a notification, thought, "Oh, it's Richard Walker38, I've had him on my radar since the old Vettel debates, let me slap him with a ban for no reason." The guy blows the start, screams over the radio that the race is rigged, I call him a sore loser, and suddenly *that's* trolling to you.
You tolerate Joseph as some kind of forum clown and joke, yet he trolls every other single post. When did you ever actually give him a warning? It turns out if I write two posts during a race, one of them gets flagged as trolling. It’s pretty obvious you’re just messing around, and just like the rest of them, you have zero consistency. You let some people get away with total garbage while you punish others for the tiniest things.
Practically every reputation point I have, I earned despite you. To you, a moderator is just a punching bag.
Seriously, I’m going to get a warning for this. We’ve got over thirty pages of discussion here, and somehow only two posts actually got flagged for "trolling."
One guy basically told everyone to go screw themselves, and the other started lecturing people about racism and homophobia toward Hamilton.
There are hundreds of actual troll posts scattered everywhere, but my honest take? A driver who starts whining on the radio the second he crosses the finish line claiming the race was rigged is just trolling, too. And apparently, I’m not allowed to call him a sore loser.
A real athlete congratulates the winner and keeps their mouth shut. They don't cry over the radio.
And of course, because Tibi absolutely loves targeting me, he never misses a chance to dock my points. Now I'm stuck with another two-day ban.
Literally every single point I have is because of him. Now I can't even celebrate the championship of my favorite driver; I have to sit here under this ban, bored out of my mind, unable to comment on anything—all because of the nonsense linked above. It's always me.
