…not to mention these… “campaign workers:”

Sounds a lot like Chicago and Illinois, no? Obhammud understands Putin perfectly.

And Kerry? He doesn’t understand the way to his shoelaces,because his shoelaces have nothing French about them. He can’t understand why Putin and Russia aren’t quivering in their boots from his threat to maybe use a one-lash wet noodle on them for their gross violation of international law. But maybe he can threaten to make sure all the AWG is directed toward them.

Yeah, that’d really work. It would make an area about twice the size of the United States usable farmland again (first time since the last cycle of meteorological change before the last ice age).

BTW, can anyone explain to me why, since oil (according to unquestionably settled science) comes from fetid tropical forests, a tremendously significant portion of known oil reserves are in the arctic regions? And my guess (just a guess, understand) is that eventually they’ll find even more significant reserves in the Antarctic. Algore’s head will explode figuring out how to protect those from exploitation.

The only experience the Diplomatic Corps has outside the classroom is placing the seat of their pants on a library chair.

And I wish Obhammud & Co. would STFU about red lines, consequences, punishments, and changed calculus. Don’t they know my heart cannot stand the terror?

And to Carlos’ point, what is the big objection to the mining and use of hydrocarbons? After all, they are just a natural resource, right?

Putin is engaging in what is called “force projection”, much the same as we did back in the day by sending an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf to send a necessary message to someone. The counteracting strategy is called anti-access/area denial which is seen as a modern tool of warfare but has been seen throughout history.

In his book “Anti-access Warfare: Countering A2/AD Strategies”, Sam Tangredi gives examples of this dating all the way back to the Last Stand of the 300 during the Peloponnesian War through the conflict over the Falkland Islands.
