Did you see the ump sending the base runner back to first after the steal? Are they inventing new rules now?...

[quote]Understood. Glad that at least some of the people in this thread can acknowledge the obvious truth[/quote] You stated the CIA led a coup in Ukraine. Is that an “obvious truth”? Or did you just embellish things to make the US look bad? It appears to me that you tried to crayfish, and now...

[quote]What, you want to quibble about the CIA leading vs being involved?[/quote] So you can’t find a link telling me how the CIA led a coup against the government of Ukraine. A government that was firing at its own people. A government that was orchestrated by Russia. A government who was not do...

[quote]The scary part are the people who aren't concerned in the least about the absolute unprecedented nature of the legal theory used for this case[/quote] The scary part is how one party targeted the other party’s leader, and was able to take him to various courts, and so far is getting away w...

[quote]Well of course. Now let’s revisit your assertions about the importance of Ukrainian “sovereignty.”[/quote] I’m waiting. Did you find your source regarding the CIA leading the overthrow? It looks to me like you are crawfishing....

[quote]No, I’m not. But are you people seriously contending that the US was not involved in that coup? I know people have different opinions and points of view, and that’s great. But I was not aware that anyone seriously denies US involvement in the coup.[/quote] Oh I believe we were involved as ...

[quote]He's firmly in the "Everything bad in this world is the US' fault" camp[/quote] I’ve read this a lot, “CIA led the overthrow”; however, despite my efforts I never found a legitimate source to back that up. There are a lot of people out there that will tell you our government, our milita...

[quote]“Sovereignty.” Nice. You realize that Obama’s CIA led a coup against the duly elected Ukrainian government, right?[/quote] I did not. Do you have a link to a legitimate article regarding this? I’d always thought the Ukes themselves led the overthrow and that their parliament overwhelmin...

[quote]The funny thing about that map is if you think Russia is actually trying to gain a lot of ground right now (they aren’t) you’ll think they are being stymied. If you think they are just trying to extend and pressure the front, this backs that up as well.[/quote] Yes, this is what’s happenin...

[quote]I’m good with Tommy having the green light, execution was just poor.[/quote] This is the correct answer. A hitter like Tanks earns the green light, and it’s on him to swing on 3-0 if he gets “the” pitch. The thing is he had to hit it hard. ...
