Either of you old farts?

I'm pretty old.Lol

Looking forward to knowing you guys better and supporting the Gators!

Anything can happen in this game.

Florida needs better production from Richard, Martin and Condon. Can't keep relying on Clayton, but Haugh filled the void against Taco Tech. Chinyelu needs go harder to the rim. I've never seen a guy miss so many finger roll shots.

Gonna be an epic clash.

Epic fail. Maybe all their network people got fired by DOGE.

Maybe the Gators will bring their bats today. Starting pitching has performed, but at some point you need run support, especially against Tennessee.
The Vols clearly look like the best team in the nation.

I didn't mean to start a pissing contest or anything like that, just really grateful.
Again, his advisor went way above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for in this situation.

Thanks for sharing your story. I know how proud you must be of your son and rightly so!

You love talking about history, so let’s actually talk about it. Nation-states have always built spheres of influence—it’s how geopolitics works and always has. The British Empire did it, Rome did it, the U.S. does it to this day. But somehow when Russia does it, it’s suddenly evil and unacceptable? That’s pure hypocrisy.

The U.S. has military bases in 80+ countries. We’ve overthrown governments, installed puppets, rigged foreign economies, all to serve “American interests.” But when Russia tries to control what happens on it’s own border, that’s where you draw the line? The only difference is when WE do it, it’s “spreading democracy,” when THEY do it, it’s ”imperialism.” It’s the same damn game, different players.

And what exactly does any of this do for the average American? We’re sending billions to Ukraine while our own economy is circling the drain, our borders are wide open, and our government treats its own citizens like threats. This so-called “post-WWII world order” is nothing but an excuse to keep us locked into endless wars while politicians, bankers and defense contractors get rich. If this “order” is so great, why is America weaker than ever? Why is our industry gone? Why are we drowning in debt while foreigners get billions of our tax dollars?

Russia establishing influence in its own backyard isn’t some great evil, it’s what every powerful nation does. The real crime is OUR government using our money to dominate a country that has nothing to do with us while selling our own country out from under us. You say I’m “part of the destruction of the post-WWII world order”? GOOD. Because that “order” has done nothing but serve the same corrupt globalists who are running America into the ground while using people like you to cheer it on.

Are you really attempting to imply that a state that is responsible for 6 million deaths is just another state building a sphere of influence? Do you understand what they did to bring that sphere of influence under their control?

I can't believe I've deigned to engage you in this discussion. And on a sports forum of all things. I'm out.

You claim Putin is “just another Soviet,” which tells me you either don’t understand history or you’re just repeating what you’ve been told. Putin’s rise to power was a direct result of the economic and social collapse that followed U.S. backed policies in the ‘90s.

Unlike you, I have a degree in History. I've studied the Weimar Republic, the rise and fall of the Third Reich, early Soviet history and its domination of Eastern Europe during the time of Stalin. I've studied the famines, the repressions...all of it.

Putin came up in the Soviet system as a KGB man. He may not be an old line Communist, but he does want to recreate the sphere of Soviet influence and control, especially in Ukraine. He was a devastated man after the fall of the Soviet state. Lost. But he found his way as a protector of Sobchak and others as his star gradually rose. He has always, and anyone that's studied him would know this, always wanted to reestablish the old sphere of Soviet power. That's what he's doing in Ukraine, and he's found the perfect tool in Trump to help him achieve things Stalin never dreamed of, not the least of which is the disintegration of the Western alliance.
And guess what? You're part of the destruction of the post WW2 world order that has kept us safe.

Zs thugs murdered an American blogger for dissenting opinions. Oh, and there's this.

Oh really? This is lower than some Breitbart BS. Tucker? What a pathetic little troll of a man he's become. Bob Amsterdam? Do you have any idea how completely ridiculous you sound? You should join a circus.

Eisenhower literally warned us about the military-industrial complex, and Patton wanted to fight the Soviets, not modern-day Russia. Instead of parroting Cold War slogans, maybe ask why the people calling Russia an enemy are the same ones wrecking our economy, pushing globalist policies, and censoring free speech. If standing against that means I ‘disgust’ you, so be it.

---

I can't believe you're so poorly educated that you can't see that Putin is just another Soviet. You're a dangerous man, but little more than a symptom of what's wrong with our country. A bunch of extremely poorly educated people that spent way too much time in business school and not enough time in History and humanities.

I don’t stand with Russia, but I believe they are the best partner to align with to fight these other assholes..

Well, I know one thing. You didn't go to Texas. You're too fricking stupid to get into Texas.
