106th Obsequious Banter Thread: Halloween Edition of Two Ghosts

[BernieParent]

Supervillain backstory.

So...update on my path to dual Italian citizenship. Stopped by the consulate in Philly for other succession matters and happened to ask about the citizenship process.Apparently can't do it through my dad even though he was a dual citizen. He broke the lineage back in the late 50's when he naturalized as a US citizen. I was then born in Canada and he naturalized me a US citizen while there. Then in the 90's he was allowed to get his Italian citizenship back but again he broke the paternal lineage already. Luckily my mom became a Canadian citizen after I was born so I can pursue the maternal Italian lineage.

Of course climate experts are saying now that Canada willl be the place to be when things get worse in the next 10-20 years ...they said Canada needs to prepare for climate migrations and while they don't condone overloading Canada with citizenship requests...it will happen. So now I am thinking of maybe pursuing Canadian citzenship and moving in with Bernie and living in my birthplace....Montreal.

Send me your airport pick-up details and I will freshen up the guest room.

Shot down Russian missile by the Ukrainians that landed in Poland.

Now whether that’s actually what happened we’ll never know but that’s the story they’ll go with.

I was out for a run for 50 minutes and Russia f----g hits Poland. Friend texted on messenger and it appeared on my Garmin mid-run: [Poland hit by missiles. Emergency meeting]. Surreal. Probably accidentally but the f--- does it matter. It could had been Russia/Latvia border.

Just heard on CNN: ''Baltic countries are pretty nervous and pretty mad''. Yup.

Edit: CNN just said ''Czechoslovakia''. Dudes. It's 2022.

Edit#2: @kudymen how we feelin?

It might be plausible if it was one, but if it was two missiles as reported and that both landed pretty close to each other in this Polish town. What are the odds that in a volley of Russian missiles launched at a Ukrainian Town 62 miles away the Ukrainian missile defense manages to damage two missiles and alter their trajectory causing them to veer 62 miles away and land in Poland pretty close to each other?

I think the more logical explanation is whoever input the coordinates for the missiles on the Russian side ****ed up and the two of them hit the input target, which was in Poland.

Even if indeed those are ''lost'' missiles or missiles volleyed from Ukrainian interception - it matters only slightly. The death of two NATO citizens was a direct result of those 90 Russian missiles fired today towards Ukraine.

NATO is holding world history in their hands now. They will not activate Article 5 for this, but now they could and have all the pretext for delivering even better weapons, creating no-fly zone and whatever else they want. That's why there's no official announcement from Poland yet. They want to solidify the facts.

Edit: I must say, from all the possible countries to hit, Poland....... Have fun with that, Russia.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

NATO is well within their right to retaliate. But I am sure they will do their due diligence first.

Just came back from the pub and a few beers, so the "how we feelin" question is not going to be met with a serious response. But I reiterate, Putin needs to go f*** himself.
Two innocent EU citizens. f***. OFF. .

 

[Lord Defect]

There are equipment in the area that track every single rocket and missile fired.

[Embiid]

I thought it was two that went off...

One off incident

 

[Asnito]

There's absolutely no reason what so ever to respond to that missle strike. Ukraine is far exceeding expectations and on the offensive. A NATO response could potentially bring out a wave of patriotism and bail Putin out of the mess he created.

 

[Lord Defect]

Biden is saying preliminary investigation shows the missiles were not fired from Russia. Sorry unlikely.

I heard Cramer said Risto just needed a change of scenery and less responsibility and he would really come into his own. Also tweeted he is excited to see what he can do in the playoffs.

The Fed is not the regular guy's friend. I can't wait to see how they try to solve the liquidity problem in the Treasury market.... they are going to have to buy back all the illiquid bonds otherwise any sustained collapse of prices will ricochet through stocks, corporate bonds and currencies. What happened in England was almost like a trial run....

This is what happens when you let the bubble machine control the world economy with their liquidity laxatives followed by butt clenching Quantitive Tightening to try and tame the very inflation they create in the first place.

How does Cramer have any legitimacy after the 2008 financial crisis.....guy is a screaming charlatan.

He's also a bigot. I've heard first hand epithets from his mouth at an Eagles game to my brother's friend.
