Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Has anyone listened to the latest Lex Friedman podcast with Mearsheimer? I need to find three hours to listen to it. You can shave some time off if you listen at 1.25X speed. Doesn’t work for every interview, but it’s good for slow talkers. Just use the settings wheel under the video. Is that faste...

The 2024 race is shaping up to be really interesting. What percentage of Americans ever know who is running against one another for President. How many can even say who is the current president?

Re: Chas Freeman, US Diplomat, on the Ukraine War

Why is any of this a surprise? People are evil. Evil people do evil things. Every attempt to create heaven on earth has failed since man's first attempt to be like God. Why get in a dither over things you can't control? A complete waste of time, talent and energy in my opinion.
