Worst bluff ever. Putin can barely make headway against Ukraine, he is not going to attack a NATO ally.

He claimed that he has "not been sober for more than a week in 30 years" and that he has been "consistently drinking since he was 13" so it seems like it was before. There can be little doubt that the fast food contributed to the health issues, but they were likely not the underlying cause as...

Nonsense, sorry, that is not Biblical at all. We are saved by Christ and His blood, not because we memorized a particular prayer. I have no issue with praying the Rosary, but I do take issue in abusing its use by projecting more power onto it than what it is or should be given.

A few jokes that reflect the idea of a "right" denomination. You could sub out any of the denominations in the jokes for any other denomination, they are not aimed at any one in particular, but I think they illustrate the ideas that some of us hold in regards to the "one" true denomination. I...

Ha, all the time. But honestly a mistake in a pre-written speech that I either wrote or had a hand in writing, and practiced ahead of time will contain very few to no mistakes because I have reasonable comprehension and memory. In the rare instances that it does happen I correct myself in the...

Yes, I have actually done a lot of it in the recent past, and I comprehend what I am reading because I understand what I am talking about and what my speech or presentation is about. Comprehending what you are talking about should not stop simply because you are reading something off of a...

Which I feel is essentially the same thing as "not comprehending what he was saying when he was saying it." If one makes a mistake and goes with it completely missing the rather important mistake then one is not comprehending what one is saying when one is reading it. If one reads it wrong and...

Maybe, but then he should have been clear. No one, and I mean no one, thinks about H1N1 when they talk about "the pandemic" since 2020. Further, the White House transcript shows that he was supposed to say "recession", not "pandemic". Apparently he just got it wrong, he read the teleprompter...

Their only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov was riddled with issues. It was taken to be overhauled in 2017 and is still not finished, it is doubtful all the gremlins will have been eradicated in the process. Previously it had to sail with a tug companion for when it would break down and...

That is true. But the maintenance of the Russian Navy is abysmal at best and willfully negligent at times. They can barely keep ships running as it is.

The puffery is that the Ukrainians are implying that there are no more cruise missile carriers in the Black Sea, which is inaccurate. The statement is written well to be truthful (assuming the ship was sunk) but misleading to the casual observer. It is certainly wise to relocate to safer ports.

Oh absolutely. The Russian Navy is in bad straights for sure, lack of maintenance and old tech hurts them terribly.
