#2 Sure, Blackbeard Protector of the Welsh1069, in Russia. In America not only do lots of girls get neutral names or feminized boy names, but as a writer I’m fond of once wrote, “A name ending in A implies a C cup.”

#3 Sasha and Misha are boys' names in Russian.

Actually, they're diminutive forms for Aleksandr and Mikail.

#6 It's a very old Soviet joke that never goes out of fashion.

#7 I want to thank Putin and Trudeau for fortifying the American 2d Amendment in a manner that blows away the lies and misdirection the Left has engaged in for generations.

#9 /\ YES! Let there be no doubt why the 2d Amendment is so essential for freedom.

Communists always seek to disarm the citizenry.

WAIT FOR IT.
The way this admin has screwed things up, I would not be surprised to see the Media headlines announcing "US TROOPS AMMO SHORTAGE". Since Russian imports have been Banned and the CCP refusing to supply ammo to either side.

Followed by the DOD requesting Citizens turn in their 5.56mm and 72x51 to supply the US ground troops.

2 months later Biden announcing Ammo confiscations from ammo vendors and registered gun owners.

#11 ^ Only our problem if the US is dumb enough to get involved.

#14 Robert A. Heinlein, Mercutio. Stranger in a Strange Land. Jubal Harshaw dictating the beginning of a new novel to one of his secretaries, discussing his conventions for naming female characters.

#15 Thanks, TW. Having read Stranger several times, I can only attribute my lapse to the vagaries of a cooling brain. Yah, me and Jo-jo.
