SABRES 0311

Nobody is simping for Putin. A deeper understanding of the situation is required to see that.

What do you want Trump to do? Continue funding a losing war and authorizing ATTACMs and similar weapons to be fired into Russia. It’s Ukraine’s land so they should be part of the conversations. I’m not disputing that. The U.S. has given a lot money and arms and they’re still reportedly losing ground. Putin doesn’t look like he will back down and give everything back. I believe what you are saying the conflict should continue and at some point progress into full war with U.S. forces. BYW, Poland is a NATO country and Ukraine is not. If Putin is that dumb then we’ll be having a very different conversation. Until then the idea Russia will invade a NATO country knowing it will result in Article 5 invocation seems like a stretch. But if he is that dumb then he learns FAFO. To answer the question I want Trump to mediate a peace deal that results in Crimea and eastern Ukraine returned to Ukraine. Then, I want Trump to get a deal where the U.S. can make back some of that $68 Billion. I doubt all of that happens.

Ukraine never got back Crimea after Russia annexed it during the Obama administration. Not saying Russia should be rewarded for what they have done but recent history indicates they are not getting that land back. The previous administration didn't do a whole lot diplomatically. For the most part it was supply money and weapons. I would like to have seen more of a push for peaceful resolution. Aside from Japan's unconditional surrender after dropping nukes, I can't remember the last time the U.S. received an unconditional surrender, especially from an adversary like Russia. I get the feeling the Biden administration just wanted to get through the term without having to do anything requiring effort.

Yes, the U.S. is positioning itself to reap post war benefits after providing $69 Billion supporting Ukraine. I think Ukraine needs to be a part of future peace talks. With Ukraine losing ground Zelensky’s bargaining position is probably not strong. With the previous U.S. administration not doing much of anything diplomatically, these talks are at ground zero.

A member of the squad doing something stupid? How dare anyone question her. They must be racist. 😂

More like KA disappointed he has a guy who actually earned a bigger contract compared to Power and Cozens. This means to keep Byram he has less money to woefully overpay talent to come to Buffalo. Tertiary effect is without that money his job security diminished. Just my conspiracy theory with no evidence.

Bad I would assume. Similarly we sell lots of weapons to Mid East countries to counter Iran. We also have U.S. forces in Kuwait and Bahrain. Like you said we have forces in South Korea too. The difference is though, Iran and NK are not Russia.

To date I think Russia has been using its “B Squad” of forces. IMO their intent is to wear down not only Ukrainian resolve but that of NATO. The other option would be full scale assault which would more than likely result in multinational ground and air forces getting involved. The correct term for what Russia is doing is Low Intensity Conflict. Like Biden authorizing ATACMs, U.S. forces in Ukraine would be an escalation.

Meh, would be an even better tournament with Russia.

Now you got something to boo, pansies 😂

Marchand looks like absolute garbage.

That’s a loss for the tournament and fans. The Soviets were committing war crimes in Afghanistan and still played in international competitions.

Mecca

The passing in this game is clinical. Can’t wait for the Olympics.

Team physicality is important. Doesn’t have to be crushing hits but separating player from puck and making them feel less comfortable. Precision passing with creative playmaking is a must. Play away from the puck is just as important.

Imagine a prime RJ calling this game.

The current reason is pretty well known. But again, they must’ve forgotten it’s not what the players are playing for. Not implying. Stating fact. 😂 😂 😂

I know why Canadians boo the U.S. anthem. Someone forgot to tell them what the players are playing for.

Larkin you magnificent SOB!!!

I thought he was trying a reverse hit, and failed.

Booing another country’s anthem is lame. Players aren’t playing for their respective governments. They’re playing for the general pride of their country. That gets lost on the stupid of the world.

If NHL hockey moves even a little bit to this style, Power is out of a job. The first nine seconds would’ve given Cozens PTSD.

Shoresy would be proud of this game.

Good. Best the $h!t out of them.
