Does anyone have that propaganda video of an m80 going off like 800 yards away from that reporter and he ducks under something like a mailbox? I know I saw it in this thread but I don't know how to search for it

You guys have me convinced a Senator can just flap his gums and advocate that a subjected population should remove the man responsible. I don't like it but there's nothing I can do about that.

So earlier this was posting about airplanes; I knew North American Airlines leased their planes but I wasn't aware they did it in Russia too. That said, Armenia refuted that a plane was seized: https://en.armradio.am/2022/03/03/no-s7-plane-arrested-in-yerevan-ministry/ Also, there is a rumor in aviation circles that Putin is going to nationalize all the airlines: https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/30369-russia-discusses-nationalizing-boeing-airbus-fleets-reports

Kalman posted:Speech or Debate is a lot broader than just statements on the floor - any “legislative act” is covered and that gets applied quite broadly. in the case of gravel, it specifically did not cover the private publication of the pentagon papers. it did, however, cover the floor speech disclosing the papers. i think it is quite wrong that it speech or debate clause would allow a us senator to walk into a classified briefing, hear a bunch of stuff, and then go on twitter and repeat what he just heard. many us senators have complained about the rules on classified information making it difficult for them to criticize, say, the nsa's spying programs.

TulliusCicero posted:Shut the gently caress up Lindsey you are going to provoke a war On war, I was trying to think of an escalation that Putin could make use of and your post made me think a declaration of war (against Ukraine) would be just the ticket. It costs him nothing and he already has Russia primed for it. And the pretense of "special operation" can be dispensed with. And the west's response will just be some words so it's a safe, even domestically useful escalation.

I saw that rumor about nationalizing the airlines as well. I'm assuming that buying them would require dollars or euros I wonder if they have all the money on hand to do that right now. Another thing I'm unsure of is even if they buy the planes, they still need access to parts for maintaining them. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Incidentally, if anyone cares -- I know there was mention of Delta severing interline and codeshare agreements with Aeroflot, but S7 aka Siberian Airlines has a similar arrangement with American and Alaska Airlines, and I'm told they have done the same.

I wish Lindsay Graham would shut his mouth; we're all thinking it but I worry the more people say it out loud the more desperate and dangerous Putin is going to get. Edit: As that Rob Lee guy says, it's especially unwise for a US official to be calling for this.

Thought this was interesting:quote:And those are just the obvious, first-order effects. Bradley Jardine, a global fellow at the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan research organization, writes that Tajikistan, a small Central Asian country north of Afghanistan, relies on remittances from Russia for more than 20 percent of its GDP. That means if workers in Russia stop sending money to their families in Tajikistan, that country’s economy could nose-dive into a depression. Economic crises can spark political revolutions, and Tajikistan shares a border with China’s westernmost province, Xinjiang. Russia’s crisis could, then, become a Central Asian economic crisis, which could become a Chinese political problem. What happens in Russia will not stay in Russia.

But they still have gotten prosecuted soon after for statements made while being a politician...

Alexander Vindman on Rubioquote:But for Putin, I’ll tell you that Marco Rubio frankly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s kind of frustrating to watch him spout off. What we would call as, you know, like secret squirrel. He’s got some secret information that he’s sharing the most watered down version to indicate that he’s in the know as some sort of political tool. But it’s kind of meaningless, except for the fact that could be significantly misinterpreted.
