Hey, this guy definitely isn't working for Kremlin.
I feel dirty even refuting this shit, but duty is duty.
1) Ukraine isn't attacking anyone. It is currently being shelled by Russia.
2) There are no rebels in the east. The east is occupied by Russia.
3) Ukraine isn't trying to drag anyone into a war, let alone for US politics...
4) Putin is definitely the one who wants war.
5) "De facto autonomy" for the east is not what Putin wants. He wants to either fully annex all or most of Ukraine or install a puppet government there, fully controlled from Moscow.
6) Fuck you. Comprehensively and entirely.
In other words, everything here is a lie. Every single thing. Team Trump blindly regurgitates Putin's propaganda. They have made it clear whom they support a long time ago.
And who pays them.

"And we are here with Gord McPuck. Gord, how important was the goal you pucked?"
"In the grand scheme of things? Not very. Future historians digging through the rubble of our civilization probably won't study it much. As import goes, it's not the building of the Pyramids or 9/11"
"Gord, can you tell us how you felt when you hockeyed that puck?"
"Generally dismayed by the state of humanity at this point in time. Going back to your previous question about importance, that puck I hockeyed pales in comparison to many events transpiring in the world currently"
"Gord, what was going through your head when you hockeyed that goal tonight?"
"Blood, chemicals and electrical impulses that commanded my body to perform tasks inapplicable to any other area of human endeavor outside of this arbitrarily defined and tragically overwrought game."

I am absolutely exasperated with @NBCOlympics announcers' attempts at pronouncing Slavic/Russian names. It kills me to even listen to them try (or not even try) to do it. I wish I could compose a comprehensive guide to Russian names. I can't.
I will do a quick and dirty one...
Rule 1. English pronunciation norms NEVER apply. Russian names are transliterated directly and are meant to be read phonetically. Therefore, Anastasia is never an-as-TAY-shuh (it's an-as-tah-SEE-ya) and Ivan is never EYE-van (it's ee-VAHN)...
Just remember that in Russian every letter stands for its own sound, AND THAT SOUND ONLY. The "i" will always be pronounced as "ee", the "a" will always be pronounced as "ah" - no exceptions, no variations. The only thing that varies is the stress.
Consonants are self-explanatory

For someone who likes to study sports history, few things are as comically strange as watching pre-1990s hockey goalies or pre-1970s NFL kickers. Both are so surreally inept at what they are trying to do, all while managing to look exactly like 7-year-olds who will quit next year
I have no trouble imagining Pele dominating today's football. Or Babe Ruth lighting up modern pitchers. And even as I know Jesse Owens ran much slower than the slowest of today's elite sprinters, he didn't LOOK like he was running for the first and last time in his life...
But look at the most legendary 1960s goalies! Not one of them could stop a damn thing. If the puck is going knee-high, the best they can manage is to kinda swipe at it with their glove or stick. They look like cricketers who have wondered onto the ice after the tea break.

One last word on whether we, Jews, are a race.
Yes.
This is the word. Yes, we are. Unequivocally. Not open to discussion, but I can explain.
First of all: race is fake. It's a social construct, it has nothing to do with objective reality, it exists only insofar as we define it...
Colin Kapernick and Whoopi Goldberg look nothing alike and share almost no facial characteristics to put them in the same racial group, even the most loosely defined one.
Yet the are both classified as "black", because our society defines blackness as a comparison to white people
In America, you are black if you are not white. By the same token, a Greek person and a Dutch person look nothing alike at all, but both would be defined as "white" under the umbrella of some ambiguously understood "European culture", which, by definition, is a social construct.

This is your annual Black History Month reminder that Russia's most important poet, who has done for our literary language what Shakespeare has done for English, was a black man who was arrested and exiled for his political views and ultimately slain by a white officer.
Of course, our second most famous poet was a Scottsman who pursued the most Scottish career possible: teasing a fellow soldier mercilessly until the laddie shot him to death at 26.
Defending the white race one indignant comment (followed immediately by blocking Slava) at a time.

As an actual Democratic Socialist who knows quite well that Putin's regime stands in staunch opposition to everything I believe in, without a single exception, I am at a loss to understand where you idiots get the gall. I mean, seriously, shut the everloving fuck up.
Morons.
I mean, FUCK ME! Of all people to get into a hot, erotic embrace with Tucker Carlson, @DemSocialists just had to be the first idiots in line.
Well, yeah, it makes sense on a certain level. Nazis love Putin because he is an unapologetic homophobic white nationalist...
Trumpists love Putin because he is an unapologetic right-wing authoritarian and also see Nazis.
And a certain subset of the idiotic ultra-left loves Putin because everyone who is against America is their fucking hero.
Wonderful. A confederacy of dunces indeed.
