If the feds gave them money (they do in the form of massive equalization payments) the racist governor and legislature would only waste it on the unborn protection service, or some other bullshit, the last thing it would be used for is helping urban black people in them thar big cities like Jackson with a black mayor! I dunno if the feds can give money directly to municipalities, they are under state control and you know how they feel about states rights. That hasn't changed in over 140 years and the basic cause is the same, states rights before human or constitutional rights, it's all mealy mouthed bullshit and cover for their true motives.

it is, especially when Biden signed the the infrastructure bill of 4.5 billion, specifically 500million for water improvements........this will be coming back as the Russians are on track like in 2016.......and 2020...and this will prolly get worse when 2024 comes around too.....so beware

Dueling metaphors aside, our deliberate response there is reassuring to our NATO allies. While I am by no means an expert on military policy, we are showing the world that we are no longer a chaotic foreign-policy liability. Russia has that honor now, and I do not doubt that when the alliance decides jointly to get more real, I’m convinced we will do our bit. It’s a relief having grownups running the Department of State once again.

In the meantime, we try to nullify Russia’s gas-export pouting fit, and keep central Europe from freezing.

it's been my experience that people can change, but it takes a rather large incentive...a sincere desire to change is hardly ever the cause of change.
making a particular behavior rewarding will cause that behavior to be repeated...making another behavior result in a punishment will make that behavior less appealing in the future.
look at our own little problem, where a conman has gotten away with brazen grifting his entire life, and it only emboldened him to grift his way to treason...
putin has gotten away with being a bully his entire career, and it has only emboldened him. make his behavior painful, and he'll eventually quit doing it...make it VERY painful, and he'll stop doing it a lot sooner.
are the sanctions painful enough to have a result in the near future? i sure hope so, seems like the most action the Ukrainian's allies are willing to take.

It’s ok to be impatient, frustrated even.

It’s not ok to allow the sentiment to influence policy. It signals lack of resolve.

The Russians might try, but everybody including lot's of allies are ready for them and Ukraine showed they can be blunted, they will be involved too, but in fucking over the Russians, not fucking with the election. They speak the lingo are working shoulder to shoulder with the CIA and it is a great way to get at the fuckers by using the Ukrainians who are plenty motivated and smart too. The national security community ain't on the republican fascists side, not since Trump, they are like the commies used to be to these people now.
 
If the Ukrainians make it to or get in range of the rail lines from Russia that run through the north east of Ukraine the Russians are fucked in the east and apparently their best troops are trapped in Kherson oblast on the wrong side of the river too. The Ukrainians are going all out, this is the decisive moment, trapping lot's of BTGs or at least their equipment in Kherson would free up even more forces for the east with the Russian logistics there crippled and manned by shitty replacement troops with little training. Forces south of Kherson will have to be redeployed to the east and they had better hope the Ukrainians don't find a way to threaten the entrance to Crimea. If they took Mariupol in the east, it would threaten the Kerch bridge and the Russians holding the nuclear power plant. It might come down to, you blow up my bridge and I'll blow up your nuclear power plant. If that's the case, then all Russian prisoners will do the clean up and if they succeed in the south that could be many thousands more.
 
Maybe taking out some rail bridge in the middle of Siberia wouldn't be a bad idea for some Ukrainian clandestine team, perhaps with some local help from those already fighting against Putin in Ukraine? They just need money for bribes and some talent to destroy several vital rail links from the east.

EXPLAINER: What help are North Korean weapons to Russia?

North Korea is apparently moving to sell millions of rockets and artillery shells _ many of them likely from old stock _ to its Cold War ally Russia.

He will probably get a Nobel peace prize and have every honor Europe has to offer hung round his neck. A surprise fall thank you visit and little vacation could be in the picture after a victory, with Joe arm in arm with him before a joint session of congress, maybe even give him a medal or something. It would help Joe and the democrats in the election too...
