Tonight - 70 men vs Ryo and Guizhang. AKA - You think that’s enough goons?

Elon Musk is the definition of “He means well…”.

Looks like the Russian attack was repelled, but holy shit. Everything I understand of Putin and the oligarchs is they run like a crime family, and well, we know what happens when someone threatens the money.

He is aware the fallout will likely blanket a good deal of Russia, right? That’s insanity.

Probably but there are still so many ways this could go wrong. Apparently the martial law rumors are causing a mass exodus of people out of Russia, which is even harder with airspace closed and the ruble worthless.

Is conscription a good idea? Let’s take dissidents, and give them GUNS.

Now seize all their Manhattan high rises. I want to see that upheave the rental market.

This is presumably setup for a deal with HBO Max.

So, this just happened -

The next targeted sanction against Russia - Their ability to troll CS Go players. Hope no one there wanted to play Elden Ring.

It’s worth 10x more than the Ruble last I checked.

How dare someone care about the living and not about owning the libs! Hey, comrade Pool, if you’re so gung ho, you go over there!

Clearly the answer for Crunchyroll is to make more adaptations of properties with cult followings. Airwolf anime. Do it.😁

Good question. This is Sony running things and they, with some exceptions, still seem to be willing to do business with Toonami. I don’t see that changing.

If it helps any, you aren’t the only one.

Murica is shielded from this (thanks Midwest!) but I can’t imagine the countries that import wheat from what is now a war zone are very happy.

Croatia is the latest country to actively send weapons to Ukraine. Meanwhile Russians trying to take their mind off the war won’t be able to do it by watching The Batman:

It’s March, and that means March Madness. On top of the news, it’s going to be a rough month for ratings.

So who’s subscription am I canceling here?

Russia wants NATO interference because that would give the Russian people an enemy they could actually rally behind. It’s why the administration is going with de-escalation and financial punishment instead. Also, the ruble is now worth less than Dogecoin, a joke crypto.

I think if China learns a lesson, it’s that they need to continue to maximize their use of soft power (social and economic) vs any sort of sustained military campaign.

https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-invasion-russian-state-media-article-deleted-after-suggesting-russia-victory-achieved-12553977 A pre-planned but since deleted article seems to indicate that Russia was expecting Ukraine to have fallen by now and he really misses the USSR.

The oligarchs don’t benefit from Putin going full Red Alert. I see a lot of pressure being applied.
