I think the big requirement to get one of those high paying media jobs is to be able to type that without starting to bleed out of your eyeballs. Couldn't do it.

It's understandable. Everything is chaotic right now and it's hard to make sense of things. I did not read anything in support of Putin's actions in the recent episode though.

Yeah, same. The vibe I got was that they were a bit jaded about western media hyping Russia as the Evil Empire waaay past the expiration date of the Cold War, with any fart meaning Putin is set to charge all the way to Paris, so when he actually did live up to the stereotype for once, they were caught entirely unprepared.

Mark in particular was very sharp on how -dumb- this is, and in how many ways it could go wrong.

Depending on who you are following on twitter it's either Russia losing or Ukraine losing. Build your own war adventure.

Russia isn't going to lose but it's possible that elements aren't going smoothly. At what point they switch to it not going smoothly enough that they rocket barrage neighborhoods is anyones to decide.

Thanks for the explanation.

In what probably wasn't meant to humanize Putin, one of the Gerard de Villiers books begins with one of Putin's advisors telling him to look at a website because it'll make him mad. The website is designed to piss him off and he indeed gets mad. What separates him from the common man is that he then orders the plutonium-laced death of the oligarch who finances the website

I am incredibly stupid
I just listened to the debate he did with noahpinion for some reasons and it's incredible how it's just Carl correcting him on pretty important bits of history for an hour and Noah having to backtrack and say "well my point still stands even if I was wrong about what I based it on"

e.g. the Chinese tributary system, the nine dash line, Tibet

I think Matty, Noah sounds like he has health problems but he might win with a drone strike.

found the wiki on the romanian former mayor of cluj, dunno whether he's a gary brecher character or a nick mullen character

quote:

Recently, Funar extended his xenophobic views to the Jewish minority, making unfounded statements: "The World's Jewish Government wants to move Israel into Romanian borders and is trying to exterminate Romanian people by using food additives" or "There are already more than 2 million Jews in Romania working for its destruction". He also claims that theory of relativity was developed by the Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu and it was stolen by Einstein (described by Funar as a "retarded individual").[5]
