“Have you moved yet?”

Have we not all moved on to a new place, a new station?

I saw a later interview by tucker where he sort of walked back his Russia comments of Moscow being so beautiful and no crime and homeless…., it was actually pretty sad because he almost in passing that he had only seen Moscow and not the rest of Russia, Putin is not a good guy…. and that he is not moving to russia(followed by laughter as he often does????)
The pivoted to what he meant was why can’t we have that here, and with that I can’t entirely disagree with, but He kept referencing the 80s like it was nervana here( ask the pre Rudy folks in nyc if it was awesome there) and I lived through the 80s and it was not all wine and roses.
His talk of prices was also disingenuous. 104$ for weeks groceries, what I saw was not a wells groceries, but even if it was an average pensioner makes only several hundred a month, and a cell phone is months of wages for the average citizen. If you are rich in Russia, and live in Moscow I am sure things are fine.

If I read this right, this plane was not shot down, it was a catastrophic mechanical failure. These were not combatants...........

In Estonia we have taken it seriously for a long while. My son would be in the first mobilization batch and of course I am worried, but he has received training. We have tried to copy the Finns and the Finns have an excellent structure of universal nationwide military training. I would be due to my age called up later, but I’d volunteer right away. Would curse myself for having gotten out of shape.

Project much, how many Muscovite generals have been sent packing due to their “efficiency “
If Putin had not invaded this would not be happening, but you have your taking point
