  1. Who wouldn't want him in a trench fighting by your side? He's the sort of guy who seems steadfast and true to his comrades.
  2. Well, USC seems to have toughened up in the red zone.
  3. Utah is moving the ball at will on USC.
  4. He has kept the hangman or lethal injection man at bay.
  5. Also, hipsters be like…i didn’t think the nation state or borders meant anything anymore…. They do
  6. Worst part It’s unclear whether Snowden swore the oath of allegiance at the same time as he was granted a passport, but the two are common procedures when foreigners become Russian citizens. The text includes swearing “to protect the freedom and independence of the Russian Federation, to be loyal to Russia, to respect its culture, history and traditions,” and to promise to “perform the duties of a citizen of the Russian Federation for the good of the state and society.” Snowden has already broken his oath to the United States Constitution…so this oath must be really sincere.
  7. More from the RUSI report: This was a major advantage for Ukraine. The empowered junior leader who has enough experience to know the way things work, and has enough flexibility to make a plan with backups in the event things get serious.
  8. How would Ukraine have negotiated with people who want to slaughter them? How would the United States have negotiated without Ukraine?
  9. Also different. Our technical warfighting acumen far exceeds anything Russia has demonstrated. The tactical flexibility of Western militaries has allowed Ulundi type disasters to become Roark's Drifts. Or to be more recent: allows Blackhawk Downs to become 73 Eastings.
  10. They have gotten to that stage in the occupied areas and the irony part is not helping them with the rest of Ukraine.
  11. You have to accept the foundational notion that mental illness is by degrees or by stages. Lack of empathy and antisemitism is a symptom of an individual who has lost some basic context on his relationships to society.
  12. More amaze-balls stuff Remind anyone of Iraq 2003?
  13. Resistance is not futile. But it can definitely get you killed
  14. This is a hoot in retrospect
  15. Another interesting point Reinforces that deterrence is an important aspect of collective security, which is an important driver of peace and stability. If you let the bully do what he wants and do not react to aggressive moves, he will keep it up and will cross the thresholds eventually beyond what you can reasonably deter.
  16. One particularly interesting nugget I wasn't tracking the importance of this due to overweighted coverage of the Javelin.
  17. Will read this with interest. I'll comment when I'm through.
  18. He's not making the right choices is what the elementary school's guidance counselor would have said to me after I spent a day drawing instead of doing my school work.
  19. Cade going to the Hawkeyes
  20. RE: Corum. I just saw that Sam Webb retweeted the report. Might be more to that than just Ian Rappaport trying to goose the betting lines for Saturday on behalf of the degenerate gambling interests.
  21. I like how the prosecutor said the reason they delayed sentencing for Mazi Smith was to mess with Spartan fans minds.
  22. Until some other reporter reports this... this is still some goomba NFL reporter who still thinks Harbaugh is heading to Oakland.
