And it says they haven't purchased very many LRASM's... That's going to need to change. Will need to ramp up those specific purchases up quickly this and the next few years...

That's what I was thinking, that anti-ship would be a different missile... But I guess the LRASM is just a variant of the JASSM so close enough... BTW: Just saw Quantumania today which brings to mind all the Kang variants that will be floating around...

Red Wings 1 Chiarot 2

I didn't really think of air-to-ground as taking out naval ships... Is that how they work? I'm not up to speed on that aspect... (Thought they were more for taking out tanks/ ground forces/ artillery/ etc...)

Chiarot dragging down Hronek tonight I see...

In short... Once they are forced to draft Muscovites and other ethnic Russians east of the Urals, instead of from the hinterlands... Putin will rapidly lose support. And encourage an overthrow.

The difference between Soviet population and Russian population is almost wholly Ukraine.

For comparative purposes: Soviet population prior to WWII: 195 million. Soviet population post to WWII: 170 million. Russian population pre-Feb 22nd, 2022: 144.7 million Current Russian population? 144.4 million (estimated per macrotrends) I think the current estimate is slightly high due to war exodus (moreso than war casualties...).

And not every guy is fit for military service.

Yes... if it comes to war with China, it will be naval and air forces that win out... Although I would think JASSM's would be useful on the China mainland (I don't see war going there...); and not so much in defending Taiwan from invasion...

"Collective security..."

Yeah, that's what I mean...

They need longer range bombs and missiles. We're sending GLSDB bombs to Ukraine with 90+ mile range but... not for 6-to-9-ish months (line production instead of existing inventory...). Send these and ATACMS to them sooner and in large numbers and the war will be won sooner.

They're not going to use a top 2 round draft pick on a TE because they use their tight ends differently; and also because I believe Holmes understands positional value. They may use 2 TE sets sometimes, but they use them without requiring a prima donna TE like Gronk or Hockenson. And they are absolutely, perfectly fine with mediocre TE's. Especially when they score 9 TD's in 10 games. We don't have to bitch about anything... any upgrade at TE is coming from a mid-to-late draft pick or FA. Bottom line.

I see two... That Corporate Income Taxes is looking mighty, mighty thin. But that Individual Income Taxes also... doesn't show all the ways that the top 1% avoid taxes, legally or illegally. It's why Biden wants to beef up the IRS another 60,000 employees (although that could be for both 1%'ers and corporate potential malfeasance...).

Gotcha... I was thinking of a different angle.

FTFY.

PS: We're in the 8th playoff spot after tonight... Counting 3 points in 3 games (in hand), passing by the Panthers, Islanders, and Caps... Not that I would count chickens before they hatch BTW...

PS: Congrats on... Baby Nephew Red Wings Fan!!!

After tonight game... Yeah. EDIT: Plus more (couple really nice prospects...)

Tuzz took a shot (high stick) to the face though...
