This follows Macron saying that deployment of French forces to Ukraine is possible if Russia achieves a breakthrough and approaches western Ukraine. I don't actually believe France would do anything, it's possible Poland would act unilaterally outside NATO in very specific circumstances. Either way, it can't be coincidence that multiple leaders are on record in the past week saying that western forces on the ground in Ukraine is possible depending on what Russia does. But what is the goal of these statements? Do deter Russia?

Until a court rules "the law says they can't be in office, but it doesn't describe a mechanism for removing them, so they can remain" or some other BS. The people who don't care about the rules aren't going to jump at enforcing them when it means they can hold power. The US is so close to a tipping point where all rules that impede power are going to be ignored through some very thing pretenses.

Saw it in a full IMAX and will echo Mercury's praise. 10/10, movie of the year. Performances were outstanding. Javier Bardem as Stilgar was incredible, and Chalamet portrayed Paul's descent/ascent into power so terrifyingly. There is no doubt in my mind that Dune Part 3 will be made. Casual people leaving the theatre clearly wanted more, and while the movie wraps up the story, it leaves the next part clearly wide open and waiting. Fuck...the last scene was so powerful. It made (I think) minor deviations from the book, no greater or worse than the LOTR trilogy, and it kept the spirit of the book 100%.
