You mean (here) right?
Exactly....all these Hollywood actors who think the world will stop and listen to anything and everything they say are living in a real dream....
At one time the golden age actors/actresses carried a lot of perceived weight...those days are long gone.
I can't recall watching a movie with Sean Penn in it for a long time.....in 5 yrs (or less) people will be saying Sean Penn who?
In all the dealings within the Baltics, I have noticed the people are very high strung and militant....it took very little to set off a powder-keg of violence....
This can work to their favor sometimes as when their backs got against a wall, they got vicious...
Sadly, it worked against them when the ethnic cleansing was going on......my time there was much worse than most places I had been due to the severity and senseless killings that took place.
Words. Pretty tough to take his words as anything else. He's right. Putin is a dangerous, unhinged leader of a powerful nation. The timing of his statement is not good.

And I agree he should not be in power. But we all know the hot buttons that get pushed when a president in opposition says it.
Even in the case of Biden or Trump. They don't actually say something, but people are too much like sheep and try and hear what someone tells them to hear. I'll never forget when Trump turned to his medical person asking, in passing, if there was any way we can inject like bleach into a person. She said no. Within 24 hours almost every source claimed he told us to inject bleach into our veins.
Biden never said overthrow Putin. People just go there.

Check out the latest from Lara Logan regarding Ukraine.
No
If there was a popularity contest based on personality, I would think Biden will do really well. He sure is more politically rounded than the previous guy.
I know a lot of folks who are really nice people, very likable, but sometimes they just land in a job situation where the odds are stacked against them, based on their skill sets.
Just saying, if you Google Biden job approval rating, it does not look good, even among lefties bias reporting.
We all have our own opinions, I’m just reporting the state of the nation here.
Does anyone remember Ronald Regan saying to bomb Russia into an open mic? They always say this was a mistake but behind the scenes, it's a tactical game being played. What is scary and new is that Russian military leaders are not talking to us. Generally, politics is an inexact science and can be a liability in critical battlefield decisions. The backdoor communication network has always been a failsafe to prevent overreactions.
With the war going so badly for Russia, the command of the military is on pins and needles and noone wants to be the guy flying outside Putin's control. That is a very dangerous situation, one we have not been in for a long time.

Interesting chess game. Putin has lost a lot of pawns, wait to see if he is going to use his queen.
For saying the wrong things at the wrong time referring to Biden, I guess we have to agree that Trump did that almost daily.
What is concerning is that Putin seems to still have great support within Russia as well as a few other countries. Biden’s comment plays perfectly into his chess strategy of false propaganda. He can use that comment to justify that the West and NATO is determined to change the regime in Russia and hence Ukraine cannot be friends with NATO on his border.
When have you seen 6k people arrested in a mass protest in Russia? Or a reporter walking across a major news broadcast with anti- Putin rhetoric? Ukraine has already determined NATO is not going to work. NATO is still worried there are too many Russians to trust Ukraine with full membership. Given this Zelenskyy has little choice but to agree to give up NATO rather than extend the war.
No doubt we have studied the fall of the USSR and are pushing the buttons we think influenced that, namely helping stimy a Russian invasion and framing Putin as a weak dictator (hence the Biden comment on regime change).

A tank in urban warfare or wide open areas against cheap drones is an easy target, drones will be fighting the next few wars replacing, tanks and helicopters. Tanks are a thing of the past and a easy target.
You sound pretty matter of fact and confident....how can I rebut against that with 33 yrs of military experience?
...and.....I disagree....drones have their place and have been in operation for years yet armor is still on the battlefield...drones in a modern battlefield are not infallible. There are defenses against drones and other electronic systems.

Things have changed in the last 5 years a lot no offence, Ukraine proved that tanks and helicopters are a dying breed. Hard to shoot down a small drone with an expensive stinger.
No offense taken....I've kept up on the situation and by no means use the invasion of Ukraine as an example of capabilities and operational levels of modern militaries.
There are anti-drone capabilities out there which are classified....leave it to say if it were a modern western military in the same situation, low level drones would be rendered totally ineffective..
Remember the west has stuffed Ukraine to the gunnels with man packed weapon systems...most militaries would not have this capability so readily at hand...
High level drones such as Reaper or Raptors would still have effect until air superiority is achieved....there are stealth drones out there but are few and far between due to cost...
It all boils down to taking and holding ground...a drone can't do this....tanks and infantry are the only capabilities to do this.

The controversy around the subject of evolution has been going on for a long time and whatever the truth is about it its my belief that all the facts are still not known on the subject... I take it you still subscribe to Darwinism... Meanwhile, Lara has probably dug up something... but, I don't have time for it. However, other sources mentioned two US funded bio labs were found in Ukraine that Lara brought to light. If true, how come we never heard about it?Here’s your Lara Logan…
