This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

If you have Amazon Prime, I'd strongly recommend giving "Why We Fight" a watch.  Pretty well lays out exactly why this is about something other than Ukrainian sovereignty.

On a related note, Germany's Chief of Navy was fired for stating that friendly relations with Russia are needed because they are a nation with similar Christian values who are a buffer to China.

Biden's disastrous speech just week pretty much greenlit Russia invading Ukraine.

Evergreen Intel has been reporting significant troop movements.

War is coming because none of the shitbags who got us into COVID as a means of getting Trump out of office have any idea how else to get us out of it other than by focusing national interests into a new singular event.

Ukraine doesn't belong to Russia?
It belongs to Lithuania!  Free Lithuania!

I'm tired of the global hegemony games. Time to sit this shit out. Though in all fairness I'm largely an isolationist on military policy.

I am too, but I recognize that doing nothing can be just as bad as doing something.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Greetings!

Ukraine doesn't belong to Russia?

Since when?

Look at a map of8th Century Russia. 10th Century. 12th Century. and on and fucking on for 1500 hundred years. The Ukraine region has always been part of Russia.

Only... not really. Because Russia =/= Novogrod/Kiev Rus of Saint Vladimir. Sure both Ukrainians and Muscovians... and Belarusians are descendants of Early Medieval Rus of Saint Vladimir, but considering how insane was inner politics from the very beggining, Russia has not better claim as inheritor to Grand Duchy of Kiev. At least not since death of last Rurikid Tsar Fedor.

And even before that regions of Halicz and Wołyń są called Galicia and Lodomeria was longer in one country with Poland and Lithuania than with Principality of Moscow/Tsardom of Russia.

Just like let's say one could say Germany and France could claim each other, or France could claim Netherlands because it was part of Charlemagne Franconian Empire :P

Now of course at this point Russia have all advantages about Ukraine, but that's another pair of shoes.

With great vengeance and furious anger"

   Well, given the track record that "doing something" has I think you could be right, but not as right as should be obvious.  Given the sorts of body counts I have seen from doing something, I am 100 percent for the USA sitting this one out.  Maybe reduce the military budget by 30 percent and put 100 percent of that into actual manufacturing infrastructure/training/incentives.  Decouple from some of these places that obviously hate us (China has made it clear at this point), and deal with people as they deal with us, fair if fair, and fucked off if they are shitbirds.

  Well, I guess if he fails to deliver them it would be failure.   I think it is good he found something for Hunter to do.   Though the whole thing does beg the question, who do you go to to get crack pipes on an industrial scale?

If their plan was to reduce druggadicction it would be a failure, as I see it it's not a bug but a feature.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

According to the Ministry of Truth- er, sorry, "fact checkers", that report is "mostly false". Because the plan to give out free crack pipes is only one measure out of 20 in the proposal.

 Hey I want people to be able to smoke their crack or shoot their heroin safely. But putting this as a "racial equity" thing though....coming from the guy who was rabid about locking people up for crack....who pushed mandatory sentencing for crack.....well, it seems like it could be taken a bit negatively.

 I do not know if that is even the right word.  He was labeled racist for that stuff in the 90's, and I have a feeling a word might be used when he spends a bunch of money in a grant that is essentially "I want black people to smoke crack safely", it does seem that word could apply again.

But it won't. They won't even notice the incongruity.

  I dunno, I watched some dude's video where he was going through twitter, and it sure seemed like a whole lot of black people were pretty pissed.
