And saying the troops are pulling from the border. If true he is getting cold feet with the a more robust response from Ukraine.
Ukrainians should have fought in Crimea, they would have still had possession. Russkies only move if they are certain of little or no resistance.

seems Russia went trolling off the west coast with a Bear today.
I would not want that flight plan if I was that crew.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I for one as a Tree-hugging Liberal, think the fun and games of border testing is good for both sides. Yes accidents happen, but they are so infrequent as to atest to the skills of all involved

my take on Russia is that they're the out of shape fat kid thats got a big mouth and has little except playing the bully.  all you need is one person to walk up and smack it in the mouth.  I have NOT been in many altercations because the first time that hand pushed my shoulder I punched the person square in the middle region between the nose and upper lip.  thats Russian rules.


bitch cant be a pimp if you cant slap a hoe.

^^^ sig worthy.

Apparently in the Crimean "referendum" only about 15% of the population took part. So even though it was illegel it was also "lost" by the Russians. I hope Ukraine start an uncovetional natioanl liberation war against the occupation.
