This is absolutely correct. This was my former career field as a matter of fact. The PRC PLAAF was trying to use western mercenaries to learn this. Good luck to them. By which i mean confusion to them

yes sir!

Yea but, The forces of ignorance are strong in the World and within our institutions. Hence A1C Texeirra decides to reveal all the stuff he did in support of his incel brethren’s belief that Putin was somehow the right side.

I'm going to say that the Indian/US DOD relationship is growing both above the waterline and below.

surely the narrative will now be that the younger Schembechler goes to OSU and kills it as a recruiter. Although I don't see any evidence that Mattison or Washington succeeded at OSU when they did their heel turns.

Being all over the map isn't the same as being racist. Deal-breaker.

I had a hard time reconciling that guy being in recruiting and Michigan retaining a top 5 recruiting class if some of those recruits were sentient. His Dad was a great coach and a mediocre human being (e.g., Ernie Harwell, Dr. Anderson). I also have a hard time reconciling Jim Harbaugh who had the world's greatest "woke storyline" player on his team in Colin Kaepernick, but who resolutely wanted to watch "American Sniper" but who campaigned for Obama and Hillary but who supported the anti-abortion campaign in Michigan. He's a weird dude but a very good football coach. Not to make too much of a virtue of the weirdness but in a smaller sense, i feel frankly, America could use more people who are all over the map and aren't' cookie cutter on politics..

India is annoyed as hell at China’s playing in the Indian Ocean and it’s bases in Sri Lanka and elsewhere.

True

And the state of Michigan is on the 44th parallel. Think about it.

Right on, man!

So, I'm preparing for my own softball game that begins at 5pm. They are predicting thunderstorms that begin around that time. "They" is the cabal of weather people -- who like the firefighters in Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451" set book-burning fires instead of putting them out -- control that it only rains when I'm scheduled for softball activity. Wheels within wheels people. There is a reason the Trinity Bomb site in Alamogordo, NM is at the 33' parallel and so is Dealy Plaza in Dallas and the ancient aliens who landed at Roswell. There is a reason Jesus predicted his own death at the age of 33. [if any of you were reading all that and going "right on, man" you might want to go talk to regular people and get off the internet]

Could be the dumbest take ever in world of dumb takes

I'm seeing a ton of photo op pictures of Indian leader Modi at the Hiroshima G7 summit. The "Quad" which is US, Japan, Australia and India is very important to counter the PRC.

So, Zelensky being in Saudi is interesting. Who better to counter an oil weapon but OPEC?

Yeah, looks like he lost that debate.

Yep

Concur

yes, good.

Biden is kicking ass through collective security.

So many dumb and convenient takes (for Putin).

I think this is right. This isn't 2003 with only our most loyal friends following along.

Well alright. Now make sure those Ukrainian runways are clear of FOD or maybe they have improved the F16 engine since my time.

I'm coming to the conclusion that Ukraine might become a popular vacation destination for dirty old men should it be kept free from Vladdie.
