This seems ridiculously excessive. EDIT: I can sort of understand why, as it'll put pressure on those to be more vocal about the horrid actions of Russia and Belarus.

Yeah, that's my bad for not reading it correctly. I was admittedly incensed by that agonistic tweet yesterday. I still don't get him chiming in and he's still a piece of ****, IMO.

Ignorant, poorly educated human garbage bamboozled by massive, lengthy campaigns of disinformation and misinformation on social media by - to absolutely nobody's surprise - Russian interests hell bent on shaking the foundations of western democracy. Outrage machines like Faux News remain at the forefront of peddling that trash, while platforms like FB and Twitter do next to nothing to slow the spread of that volatility as it continues to poison morons. Imagine being so misguided, so utterly misinformed to think Russia is somehow the victim here, after its leadership group of greedy oligarchs opted to invade a sovereign nation, terrorize its citizens, destroy its infrastructure, and basically turn it into the puppet state it was barely a decade ago: https://fortune.com/2022/03/02/viktor-yanukovych-yanukovich-putin-put-back-in-power-ukraine-russia/

Bobby Hull, while he is a giant turd, wasn't here in 1992. Morever, the Jets weren't even here for roughly half of that period (1996-2011), so that further muddles whatever moronic point he's trying to make. He also purposefully brings up the fact he covered crimes as a journalist, in what seems like some weak attempt to further denigrate the pro athletes he covered with whom he never seemed to get along. Wiecek consistently enjoyed stirring the pot with athletes here during his time as a journalist, and that reputation became well-known in the fish bowl that is the professional sports landscape of Winnipeg. I guess my point is Wiecek chiming in doesn't accomplish anything but reinforce his biases he had while he was still an active member of the sports journalism community here. EDIT: Wiecek didn't even become a sports writer until 1998 (https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/biographies/306293291.html) and covered the Jets 2.0 for all of seven seasons. Solid misrepresentation on his part, albeit consistent with how he operates.

Because one player on the team chose to be misinformed and throw money at a shitty cause...? That's not a reasonable take at all. Paul Stastny made a really bad decision but what's to be accomplished by painting his teammates with the same brush, much less extrapolating that judgment over the span of three ******* decades?

Read up on what Lavrov said in his boorish tirade brimming with bullshit. Then you'll understand why the UNHRC walked out.

https://www.reuters.com/world/eu-us-british-envoys-boycott-lavrov-speech-un-rights-forum-2022-03-01/ The amount of brain rot at the top of Russia's political elite is simply staggering. Putin and his maniacal ilk are nothing more than delusional, decaying turds yearning for a bygone era that's long passed.

Your opinion that Ukraine should just surrender. It's patently absurd and entirely ignorant not only of what's taking place but also what's at stake.
