WW3 Please SAY NO!

I have not followed the "whys" of this conflict closely, so forgive my ignorance. But I keep hearing some people say Putin invaded Ukraine because he doesn't want another NATO nation on his border, assuming Ukraine were allowed to join. However, a quick peek at a map shows that if Russia takes over Ukraine, it will then have Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania for next door neighbors.

And he's ignoring that Russia already has NATO neighbors; Kaliningrad is sandwiched in between Poland and Lithuania, and Latvia and Estonia border Russia as well.

I say we send The Donald over there.

See if he can talk his boy into ending this.

He does that, he would wrap up the next election.

He brags about the Art of the Deal, this would be the biggest deal he ever closed on if he could pull that off.


That doesn't work maybe we try to get Ovechkin to take him out on the ice, one solid hit into the boards should do it:

I was going to answer with a really caustic response, but then I decided to watch the video instead and get a good laugh.

Some nice stick work for an old man, but ultimately it's laughable Kim-Jong-Un level ego and demagoguery.

You know if any one of those actual pretty good hockey players so much as stole the puck away from him, they would have had a close relative thrown off a tall building somewhere.

This is the sort of thing that I thought only happened in bad episodes of Hogan's Heroes:
