    What's an RT show? And I'm surprised you haven't posted links to these shows you co-host.
    Russia Today, and yeah it's my side hustle. 
    I'm trying to look you up on the "on-air talent" part of RT.com but I'm not finding you......unless you're actually Jessie Ventura....but if that's the case, then why don't I ever see you posting in the WWE thread?
    I thought he was Dennis Miller.

    Another big development.  How does Russia continue to support its Naval campaign?  Is Sevastepol now isolated?  They may have so many war ships there already (I think that's their largest naval base) that it may not matter.  But it's pretty great that even Turkey (who is a little shaky on democracy and has serious human rights issues) is on the other side of this too.  Every day something else amazes me and gives me hope for the world.

    Ok, at this point, I kinda agree with Razor Ramon above; what's puke-tin going to do, blow up the entire world? he's pretty much all alone in this.

    Did anywhere here Dominick Haseks comments that Russian players contracts with nhl teams should be suspended?  A poster mentioned it earlier.  I shot the idea down myself.  What if said player has ties to Putin?  Would you support a move like that?  
    You know I support anything to take down Ovechkin.  He is a Putin lackey.  I've been on him for years about it.  

    I'm not aware of any other players that are close to the Kremlin like he is.  I don't expect Russian players to denounce him.  If they do, God bless them.  But their families are over there and I would understand being silent.  

    But no, I don't think Russian players should be suspended.  That's crazy talk.  Half of them have dual citizenship I bet. 
    Yeah Ovechkin won’t denounce Putin!

    You're right that he's all alone on this. But I can see this deteriorating to the point where he considers nukes. He expected his powerful army to take over Ukraine in a day or two. That hasn't happened. The Ukrainian president has become the most popular pollical leader in the world. That has to anger Putin. I dunno, I'm not too worried about him here in the U.S. (hence the Razor gif), but I wouldn't want to be Europe right now.

    This all speaks to a larger conversation when and if this shit dies down - that being a global-wide divesting of all WMDs.

    None of these super powers will ever trust the others to completely divest. we're in for the long haul with these weapons being available.

    I shot the idea down as well.  I’ve heard about Ovie being close with Putin.

    If he starts launching nukes then I doubt anyone is safe…mutual destruction.

    I don't know. I think there's merit to it being something that could happen. But, yeah, there definitely would be a rigid order & process to it. I just don't know how many times you play chicken in times like these waiting for the wrong dipshit with dementia to blink.

    doing that he'd be assured to basically kill himself and everything he owns and controls. I highly doubt, even with reports of his mental instability, is even close to that point. he just wants us to think he is.

    I would totally believe China, North Korea and Russia if they promised to get rid of their nukes. I mean, as long as they pinky promise and spit before the handshake obviously.

    The power of money.

    I don't blame them though. Everything was going great and then the shit just hits the fan because of Putin's small man syndrome.
