When I was in the NJ National Guard, Chris Christie was governor (and Commander-in-Chief), and he was trying to get the General over the NJ Guard removed for not meeting height/weight standards, and actually gave him an order to lose weight. The irony was palpable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/inside-chris-christies-militia-flab-and-cronyism-trigger-mutiny-in-the-ranks/2015/09/21/1493ac4c-57bc-11e5-abe9-27d53f250b11_story.html This kind of reminds me of that. Though I am sure that the cronyism in Russia is even worse than NJ. |

Why do state senators even have a vote for such a thing? At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Sadly, that does seem to be true. At this point I don't see any way in which Ukraine loses. The only way I could see that happen is if Russia results to nukes and no other countries step in. In a "conventional" war Russia is getting destroyed. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
