Russia just invaded Ukraine

Greenwald has become a pundit rather than reporting news.

"if this happened then this would have happened in this alternate universe!". That's some hard hitting journalism.

Germany suspended the pipeline... the one they were going to utilize, it was theirs to decide. 

He has to rub his CNN/NYT/NBC infatuation in everyone's faces. It's so bad that he even assumes Brazilians who criticize Joe Rogan/Monark are getting their news from NBC and CNN. Dude, our CNN is completely different from the US counterpart and NBC doesn't even air here.

Man, per 538 I had a 35% chance (as of today) [538 UCL Odds Link] to be in St. Petersburg in May. Would have been a really cool place to visit and take in the scenes and to add to the list of cities where LFC conquered all of Europe. Anyway, hopefully the UCL Final gets moved to somewhere else cool like Paris or London. Istanbul would be to much pressure, but probably will be Istanbul thinking about it considering they had to move it from Istanbul to Portugal last year because of Covid.

Edit:  Looks like Istanbul already has 2023 final and London 2024.  London in play for 2022 because, well, Wembley, but pretty sure won't go Istanbul back to back.  England in May gonna be fun!

With Biden standing firm, Putin must wonder: Where’s Trump when I need him?

If Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to gobble up another chunk of Ukraine at little or no cost to his own interests, he should have done it while Donald Trump was still president. With President Biden leading the response, Putin’s potential costs are rising — while his hoped-for benefits have evaporated.

To be clear, Putin can send his tanks across the border whenever he wants, and nobody can stop him. His recognition of the “independence” of two separatist regions in Ukraine, which call themselves the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic, is an ominous development. But his threat to invade has not divided and weakened the Western alliance. Thanks largely to Biden, it has had the opposite effect.

Even in this era of scorched-earth politics, Biden’s Republican critics are at pains to formulate specific complaints about his leadership on Ukraine. A few, such as Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), have said he should have ordered a full-scale evacuation of American citizens. But others, including Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), agree with Biden that such a step would be premature and unwise. Some Republicans have attacked Biden’s energy policies, arguing that the United States should be maximizing oil and gas production to curb Putin’s coercive power, which hardly seems on point. The most common GOP criticism is the most amorphous: Putin is supposedly emboldened because he sees Biden as weak.

The precise opposite appears to be true.
