Re: The Ukrainian Crisis of 2022

There is supposed to be a strong Pro-Russian movement in Eastern Ukraine, a mix of Russian descendants from the Soviet Era and even some Ukrainians who 'just want the good old Soviet days back.' If they had focused on annexing those areas, moving troops to occupy but then stop and only fight Ukrain...

No, there's still half a dozen for him to do
Oh, okay. Thanks for the update.

Re: Dune (The 2021 Movie)

I saw the movie on Saturday. I only read the first book and that was 15 years ago. Overall, some stuff came back to me during the movie. Like I forgot how early Duncan died. For some reason I thought he stuck around for awhile. I don't know if that will be a spoiler (who knows how far they will go ...

Re: The Afghan War isn't over yet, Mr President

The Taliban is about to take Kabul. Cheers, Joe. So do you no longer agree that the war was lost long ago, and the US Army has just been puttering around for years trying to find a way to save face? Or do you think if we'd just stuck in there another year we'd somehow turn this around and declare v...

Re: Dune (The 2021 Movie)

I have heard some mixed things. Some people are saying, from what they have seen/heard, this is going to be the most book-accurate Dune movie while others are worried that it will be a terrible woke movie. I can understand why some people may feel that way but overall it sounds like it will be a boo...

Dune (The 2021 Movie)

Okay, so in a few weeks the new Dune movie is set to be released (finally) and I was wondering if anyone else is expecting to go out to see it and/or to stream it?

Re: The Afghan War isn't over yet, Mr President

I just found some sources that's been confirmed that Donald Trump actually made a deal with the Taliban to withdraw Troops from Afghanistan in May but Biden extended it to September. https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/world-verify/afghanistan-troops-withdraw-deal-taliban-trump-biden/536...

Re: Why Does the Disney Sequel Trilogy Hate Anakin?

Okay, that's a bit of a joke as I doubt anyone in this Trilogy went in with the mindset of "Let's render Anakin's Entire character arc meaningless" but it does sometimes feel like that. Anakin's entire character arc was about him trying to save his family and atoning for his past sins and in the en...
