How did this turn into a thread about Dr Who?
I watched maybe one or two eps. All I was doing was noticing how the comment about powerful and stupid people reflects directly on SECOND and THUGR.

#1) This is very straight forward as to what it means:
You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
They don’t alter their views to fit the facts.
They alter the facts to fit their views.
Doctor Who
(1977)

#2) The Ukraine/Russia War started because Putin altered facts about Ukraine to fit his views about Ukraine. See #1. Ukraine will kill Putin's military until Putin alters his views or his facts or both.

Hmmmmm... According to your post history here, Jayne should have been the Hands of Blue... or at least Niska.
And the rest of the crew should have been Captain Picard, Captain Janeway and the most righteous crew members of The Next Generation and Voyager.
Shut up, idiot.

I took everything Adam Baldwin said on the OB with a huge grain of salt, not that it didn't make me want to punch his lights out at times.

If I was playing cards with Jayne or with Adam Baldwin, and he made a snide remark accusing me of cheating when I took the entire pot, I won't shrug it off as nothing. Instead, I would beat him unconscious. Adam did just that, today, and deserves a beating when he Retweeted:
Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza
Having crossed $10 million in revenue, “2000 Mules” is now the most successful political documentary in a decade. I should know—it’s the most profitable and most talked-about documentary since my own “2016: Obama’s America,” released 10 years ago in 2012
https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1524890519188525058
“2000 Mules” says the Democrats stole the election and Trump is the rightful President.
Adam Baldwin deserves to be knocked down and stomped for that sentiment, but that is also true of many Trump voters and many Russians who believe Ukraine is Russia's property stolen by Nazis.

Untrue. But it's no surprise that you don't understand Firefly.
Jayne has a redemption arc.
You are a completely static character that is just as evil and wrong about everything as you were the first day you posted here.
You aren't even a background character. You are background noise.
Any opinion you've ever had I could get straight from Vox or Mother Jones before you regurgitate it.
You are a meat popsicle.
A waste of carbon.
Better luck to your atoms the next time they return to the earth and spawn something new. Hopefully it's something worthwhile.

Putin got himself into a legal tangle. Because Putin won't declare war on Ukraine, Putin's soldiers can refuse to fight in Ukraine:
Dmitri told his commanders that he refused to rejoin the invasion. “They were furious. But they eventually calmed down because there wasn’t much they could do,” he said.
He was soon transferred to Belgorod, a Russian city close to the border with Ukraine, where he has been stationed since. “I have served for five years in the army. My contract ends in June. I will serve my remaining time and then I am out of here,” he said. “I have nothing to be ashamed of. We aren’t officially in a state of war, so they could not force me to go.”
Dmitri’s refusal to fight highlights some of the military difficulties the Russian army has faced as a result of the Kremlin’s political decision not to formally declare war on Ukraine – preferring instead to describe the invasion, which will soon reach its fourth month, as a “special military operation”.
Under Russian military rules, troops who refuse to fight in Ukraine can face dismissal but cannot be prosecuted, said Mikhail Benyash, a lawyer who has been advising soldiers who choose that option.
Benyash said “hundreds and hundreds” of soldiers had been in touch with his team for advice on how they could avoid being sent to fight. Among them were 12 national guardsmen from Russia’s southern city of Krasnodar who were fired after refusing to go to Ukraine.
“Commanders try to threaten their soldiers with prison time if they dissent, but we tell the soldiers that they can simply say no,” Benyash said, adding that he was not aware of any criminal cases against soldiers who refused to fight. “There are no legal grounds to start a criminal case if a soldier refuses to fight while on Russian territory.”
Many soldiers, therefore, have chosen to be fired or transferred rather than going into “the meat grinder”, he said.
A similar account to Dmitri’s was given to the BBC’s Russian service by Sergey Bokov, a 23-year-old soldier who at the end of April decided to leave the army after fighting in Ukraine. “Our commanders didn’t even argue with us because we were not the first ones to leave,” Bokov said.
Pointing to Russia’s military laws, Benyash said it would be more difficult for soldiers to refuse to fight if Russia were to declare a full-scale war. “During wartime, rules are totally different. Refusal then would mean much harsher penalties. They would be looking at time in prison.”

Quote:Jayne has a redemption arc? Have you been reading film criticism? Jayne is an asshole from start to finish. He tries to be "good" but is too selfish and dishonest to be trusted, too controlled by his animal lustiness, and too stupid to be left unsupervised.

In the movie, Jayne intended to sell River to the Alliance. The script where Wash lives, below, made that very clear about Jayne, but to stop him, River knocked Jayne unconscious in both versions of the movie. That is Jayne's redemption arc.
In Ukraine, Russians are stealing a country. What is their redemption arc? Spoiler Alert!
It's Ukrainians kill Russians.

Ukraine seems to be about Dr. Who and 2020 Election Theft. At least I understand the 2nd connection.

Russian troops booby-trap 10-year-old girl's piano. Horrified mother finds grenade hidden inside instrument after returning to family home ransacked by Putin's soldiers.
Forced to flee their home in Bucza following Russia's invasion, Tatiana Monko returned home with daughter Daryna last week.
Despite their apartment being ransacked and Daryna's prized autographed poster of her favourite band being ripped to pieces, the first thing she wanted to do was play her piano.
But as the talented 10-year-old sat down and began playing, Tatiana noticed that her daughter's trophies on top of the piano had been moved.
Lifting the lid and peering inside, the horrified mother spotted the explosive, a VOG-25P grenade, attached to the piano's hammers.
'We want to shout to the whole world - use all possible means to stop this.'
'Isolate Russia, isolate its culture and figures, because everything it does to preserve the image of a civilized state is in fact the same as the explosive in the piano.'
After being removed by Ukrainian bomb disposal experts, Anton Geraszchenko from the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs said: 'Miraculously, the grenade hidden in her piano didn't go off.
'Thanks to the mother's vigilance, nobody was hurt and the grenade was disarmed by specialists.'
