Flavahbeast posted:I should have been more specific, I was talking about Biden: I dont see this helping him domestically unless an invasion actually happens This is how Democrats distract from cratering public support: They flex at Russia. Republicans don't do that. They flex at DPRK. Totally different.

US to reopen Solomon Islands embassy amid moves to counter Chinaquote:In a notification to Congress, the State Department said Solomon Islanders cherished their history with Americans on the battlefields of World War II, but that the US was in danger of losing its preferential ties as China “aggressively seeks to engage” elite politicians and business people in the Solomon Islands. Hmmm. I guess the US has to engage in diplomacy now instead of taking the Solomon Islands for granted.

lol https://tass.com/russia/1402163 quote:"In this situation, in the wake of possible provocations by the Kiev regime or third countries, we have, indeed, made a decision on some optimization of the staff of Russian overseas missions in Ukraine. We want to highlight that our embassy and consulates will keep performing their basic functions," the statement says.

This, by the way, is what has made my aforementioned biases against Putin so strong. As extreme as this might sound, I felt as if Russia's interference in the US 2016 election was an act of war - a direct attack upon a core aspect of America. Obviously the response to that wouldn't be to attack Russia because that simply isn't sensible, but I still believe that some very punishing sanctions are called for at the absolute minimum. No slap on the wrist stuff... but something very real and very serious.

I remember back in '14, someone in the EE thread insisted that we needed to take out Putin (they wouldn't elaborate how), because he's "basically Tywin Lannister." Which struck me as odd, because Tywin was literally the least-bad leader in that whole dumb series.
