It’s going to cost a fortune to feed that beast.

And he’s going to hog the bed.

There were other serious problems standing in the way of making them pets. Probably the worst is that they pee everywhere, and the pee is extremely foul smelling, so you can’t keep them in the house, no matter how friendly they might be.

They also don’t make cute or useful sound like a bark, or a purr, they make a really loud, very annoying wail, that gets on the nerves of even the most ardent fox lover.

Even after all these years of breeding, these serious issues remain, keeping them from becoming viable pets for the foreseeable future.

Putin has always justified his invasion of Ukraine using similar language. I specifically remember him dismissing their history saying something very similar to "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, " and other nearly direct quotes.

Clear confirmation that Putin is using this publication as his playbook.

It was published in 1997. Time flies when you’re resisting oppression.

Try the Wikipedia entry under Content. It breaks down the plans for each region.

Smart. Some people don’t know when to quit while they’re ahead.

This guy was doomed from the start. He was always going to keep doing this until he failed. If he survived his second attempt, he would have died on his third, or fourth, etc.

I always tell young people, especially young men, that every friend group has that one dangerous guy. He’s the one that will hold a firework in his hand, drive like maniac to show off, drink way too much, take weird drugs, etc. Identify that guy early, and watch out for him. Don’t let him drive (he’s always the first to volunteer), don’t encourage his nonsense, and stay far away. He’s eventually going to get himself killed, and probably whoever is with him.

RFK, Jr is good example of the type.

Low self-preservation tendencies, but lots of money, is a bad combination. They can afford to get themselves into a lot of trouble.
