@gucciluci1 @OhioStateFB Ten percent better would have left Ohio State with 11 points instead of 10, still a loss.

@OhioStateFB It’s alright, this was Indiana’s Super Bowl and it took OSU absolutely blowing three straight red zone possessions inside the 10 to lose it by just 3. If we’re even just 10% better in a game like this, no one is beating us

I can't watch @DanaBashCNN on Inside Politics without seeing the Russian flag as her background. Looks like she's on Russia's Channel 1.

Many Russians perceive 1990s Russia under Boris Yeltsin as a period of Russian capitulation to the West following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is a fair perception.
Vladimir Putin has spent over two decades since then crafting a legacy as the leader who restored Russian sovereignty and great power status. At this late stage in Putin's rule, it is highly unlikely that he would undermine this legacy by yielding to an American president—any American president—on a matter as central to his legacy as the war in Ukraine.
This is not a judgment on the morality of Putin’s actions in Ukraine, but a recognition of the context in which those actions are shaped. Western warnings—whether from the Biden administration's infamous 'Don’t' or from the current administration’s cautions about Putin 'playing with fire'—are unlikely to result in compliance from a leader whose legitimacy rests on defying such pressure.

Things are not as black and white as this former ambassador to Russia would have you believe. He's being intellectually dishonest because of his political bias.

Putin invaded Ukraine. He started this war. Talking about the “conflict” as if both sides are fault is wrong. Please don’t let this Russian framing take hold.
