Participantqwerty: Putin is a member of Pamyat (“Memory”), an ultranationalist movement that is intent on restoring Russia to her former glory.
This is absolutely Russia flexing her muscles and Putin has made it obvious that he doesn’t fear the US or NATO. This situation was tailor made for him and he is exploiting it to the utmost.
Forget Cold War rhetoric. Even when they were Communist, the Russians were the Russians, and fixated on a return to empire. This is a country steeped in culture and history, and also one with a long memory.

Participantbubba: Nope. No need to invade Russia at all. The entirety of the Red Army’s offensive capability was inside Germany and Eastern Europe at the time. Destroy that and it’s Game Over.

ParticipantTG: Centex is getting absolutely hammered right now. Revenues are off about $3Bn on a year-over-year basis, and the company has shed a massive amount of book value. Sister company, Centex Financial (which also owns Commerce Title) is also in the tank.

Participantcitydweller: I think they were going for more of a “geisha/consort” type concept with Inara, rather than just referring to her as a prostitute.
It was a great series, which is exactly why they cancelled it. God forbid you are allowed to enjoy something with great storylines, snappy dialogue and enjoyable characters. Gotta make room for more reality shows doncha know.
