i only knew one person that was actually named Chad.. it was in the program and the ironic thing is he lived up to the name
He was really attractive and in shape. He was out going and personable. And before you are thinking at least he's probably a dumb meat head and you can maintain some sense of intellectual superiority.. he was pretty smart. 1800 ranking in chess and he was doing something like cyber security for a pretty good living. |

One thing that's had me wondering...would the Western powers be better off with Putin in power or someone else? Part of me thinks if he remains in power, the sanctions will remain and their military will be handicapped for the rest of his tenure, limiting any ambitions of future adventures like this. If he is ousted, the short-term might be better, but the sanctions will probably lifted sooner too - if the new leader has the appearance of being Western-friendly but then turns out to be a snake with the same nationalist sympathies as Putin, we might end up in the same situation. I'm undecided.

At the end of the day though if ukraine went to nato that would potentially bankrupt Russia through the necessary increase in military spending to shore up that border. Last edited by jwb; 04-14-2022 at 11:42 PM. |
