I guess that whole, “Me Too,” thing is over now? . . . 🤷♂️
I mean, now it’s the 1950’s again, we can go back to men beating other men over a woman, because she cannot defend herself? Forget that the remark was harmless? Forget that she has made her own social media posts about alopecia, putting it in the public domain . . . herself!? Forget that Chris Rock’s job is to roast the audience at the Oscars, (which he’s done before!) and that they chose to sit on THE FRONT ROW?
But she’s just a, “little lady,” who can’t speak for herself, having neither the wit of a comedian nor the strength of an entitled male bully. All she has is the power to role her eyes and sit back and wallow in a puddle of her own sociopathic self pity and entitled sense of, “feeling aggrieved,” as though it was a serious issue like CANCER or something and NOT just flipping HAIR LOSS!
No attempt to stop him, from Jada? Not even to be seen in the entourage around him in the fall out? No condemnation of the appalling sexism, misogyny and entitlement on display, after the event? . . . And she’s certainly not aggrieved at her, ahem, “husband?” for taking matters out of her hands and making it all about him?
She has more to answer for than Will Smith at this point. Feminism is dead in the Smith household, (along with their wedding vows) and their warped notions of Bible teachings that they love to prattle on about. “God and love made me do it!” Errr, did it, Will? . . . Did it really? . . . Coz’ to me it just looked like a small insecure Cuckold who’s not dealing too well with his wife’s sociopathy to me? . . . 🙄
Anyone wanna’ buy a used Blue-ray of I Am Legend? I’m so over these fools . . . And the hypocritical Academy that made them what they are.

@Madolite : Look at their history? Their very first Soviet leader, Lenin, was deposed by Stalin, who pulled the same dirty trick on Lenin that he’d pulled on his own closest supporters. Then Khrushchev, whom they, “invited to retire,” after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yeltsin got in by striking a deal with the KGB to purge all the top echelons of government in exchange for his Premiership. Then he was half blackmailed, half just drunk, and sleepwalked Russia back into the arms of Putin’s dictatorship. Only he’d been busy securing his own power by merging the secret services with Mafia families. Now? . . .
The sons of those mafia bosses are what we call, “oligarchs,” sitting in his cabinet with their soft hands, love of western luxury and sweaty brows. The question for them is, how unstable they’re willing to let it get, before usurping Putin won’t keep them in comfort anyway? They need to remove him BEFORE they’re all broke and the clamour for a genuine democracy gets too loud.
This is what the Russian people get for accepting a dictatorship as a trade off for, “Well, at least it’s,better than the bad old Soviet days,” thinking.

Fukuyama writes fascinating books and is a deep, articulate and thoughtful man. But he famously predicted, “The End Of History,” with the fall of the Soviet Union and I didn’t believe him then. I hope he’s right about this, but these things do have a way of dragging on, mostly due to no one person or administration being willing to serve the decisive blow; in case it goes wrong and that’s all they’re remembered for.
All I know for certain is that we shouldn’t allow ourselves to get all, “disappointed,” if we don’t see quick results. The resolve of the west has totally blindsided Putin, but he will likely rally at some point. We have to be prepared to stay the course.
Ever since, “Energy Security,” has been a political term (over a hundred years now) the west has NEVER allowed themselves to drop that ball. Rightly or wrongly. That was Putin’s biggest miscalculation. The west KNOWS what he’s really up to: preventing Ukraine from getting rich on what may well be bigger gas and oil reserves than Russia’s! According to Shell, BP and Exxon it is. And they didn’t spend billions on the rights to develop those reserves, just to see Putin steal the lot from under them . . .

@samualcrocket1405 : Did you notice Putin putting Taiwan on his new, “Naughty List,” the other day? That was his appeal for help from China. His problem is that he has shot his bolt, as all the help he could offer China with that design begins and ends with his rhetoric. If anything, this has made China think twice about their plans to take Taiwan and queered the pitch for them. They’re not thanking Putin for that. He’s spoiled their plan completely and whatever they say, their abstention at NATO whilst Xi said he still recognises Ukraine’s, “sovereignty,” and, “right to self determination,” was a giant, “F*ck You,” to Putin. Why would they risk economic harm, for an economy no bigger than Spain’s but more corrupt? When the only thing they sell that anyone wants is the one thing no one’s willing to buy from them? Putin might as well be asking China to jump off a cliff with him, for no apparent reason. But he does at least show us how desperate he really is. ✌️

@garygraham8373 : Putin’s, “demented,” alright. But not in the way he wants you to think. Just because he pulls the pin from a grenade and sits with it in his lap saying, “If I lose I’m taking you all with me,” doesn’t mean he isn’t bluffing. If he was that demented he’d have done it by now. Everything he’s said has turned out to be the precise opposite of the truth, starting with, “I do not intend to invade Ukraine,” on the day he invaded Ukraine. Listen carefully and you’ll hear, that red line where he says he’ll use his nukes? That’s the line at which Russia folds. He wants to live more than most Russians. And definitely more than most Ukrainians. Don’t let his, “crazy,” act fool you.
