    And thats just it. I could never allow gas milage be a determining factor in what vehicle I drive. We aren't rich, but I LOVE driving and need to drive wealth I want, not some shit box just because it gets good gas milage.

    That said, My daughter's new car is a 2003 VW manual Beetle..... get's fantastic gas milage. Counters my wife's Highlander.

    For decades Joe has a reputation of saying things off the cuff, which Im cool with for the most part. Yeah, he's said some idiotic things over the years but it hasn't hurt him politically.
    That's Joe and what he said about putin is right on and what millions would agree with.

    Harmful how? The only people who will disagree are the ones already determined to follow Putin off the cliff. This is the same mindset that caused people to refuse to speak out against Hitler and his final solution. When has kissing the ass of a bully ever worked?

    Never. The only thing to do with the ass of a bully is to kick it.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th.../chernobyl-forest-fires-ukraine-nuclear-plant

    At least seven fires are spreading within the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Fears are rising that the fires could spread towards the nuclear reactors there. Power lines that were recently repaired and that power the reactors could be destroyed, causing cooling waters to be evaporated and fuel rods to melt, releasing large quantities of radiation into the air. No Ukrainian staff remains at Chernobyl after being released a week ago. There are only soldiers who may or may not know how to run the power plant.

    Smoke from the fires is feared to be radioactive as the ground it burns is contaminated. Radiation from it could spread. Ukrainians can't put the fires out because the area is under control of Russian soldiers.

    Inflicting more harm on a person that clearly needs mental help, is never the correct way to go.

    Though, you were most likely talking about Putin in this sense.

    In that sense: Telling a world leader, a nuclear armed world leader, a person that America currently sees as "crazy", and may very likely use those nukes. Telling this "crazy person" that they can no longer remain in power, is only, ironically, pouring fuel on the fire.

    If Putin is truly "crazy" it does not matter what anyone says.

    Putin is killing innocent people at a rate not seen in Europe since WWII.

    Lol... Putin is bombing an entire countries population and this is what concerns you? Stating the obvious? I just watched an interview of a young kid in a hospital explaining how his mom was still alive as the was on fire.

    Putin has been over the edge for over a month. Putin will not agree to a ceasefire without getting his absurd demands that Ukraine will never agree to. This has zero effect on any of that.

    So stupid to complain about an obvious comment that we all know is true while a young girl is getting shot in the face, dozens of elderly bombed in a nursing home, evacuation routes bombed, citizens rounded up and forced into Russia, sick children left without a hospital, etc. etc. etc.
