I don’t agree with speaker gooning dad on much, if anything, including his rationale for this request.

But, I do think it was a bad move from a policy and governing perspective to have a foreign leader touring our weapon factories that are supporting their hot war with a major geostrategic rival of ours.

I’m not saying this for domestic political reasons, or moral reasons, I think from a pure realpolitik perspective of someone who supports Ukraine, it wasn’t a smart move.

But, I could be wrong, maybe it helps Ukraine in the long-term, or maybe it has no impact at all. Maybe we’ll never know, I just know that doesn’t sit right with me personally.

Regardless, my personal feelings aren’t relevant to, and I genuinely hope this does end up being a net positive action.

That, and it’s often cut and pressed with other stimulants, like amphetamines.

The trick was to get hard before you peak, or get some little blue pills to stack with.

Although, if you’re already hypertensive, probably not a good idea to mix them - or take either of those in general.

But all of this is based on my rather hazy recollection of people I was around quite a long time ago, so take it all with a grain of salt.
