Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

Bottom line, I think we ought to be working a lot harder on those face saving measures and be a lot quieter and less threatening about achieving military aims beyond resisting the invasion. Keeping Vladimir Putin from a "nothing more to lose" position ought to be high on the list of US aims and pol...

Props to Justice Gorsuch.
