  1. 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.
  2. How would Ukraine have negotiated with people who want to slaughter them? How would the United States have negotiated without Ukraine?
  3. 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.
  4. They have gotten to that stage in the occupied areas and the irony part is not helping them with the rest of Ukraine.
  5. 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.
  6. More amaze-balls stuff Remind anyone of Iraq 2003?
  7. Resistance is not futile. But it can definitely get you killed
  8. This is a hoot in retrospect
  9. 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.
  10. One particularly interesting nugget I wasn't tracking the importance of this due to overweighted coverage of the Javelin.
  11. Will read this with interest. I'll comment when I'm through.
  12. 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.
  13. Cade going to the Hawkeyes
  14. 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.
  15. I like how the prosecutor said the reason they delayed sentencing for Mazi Smith was to mess with Spartan fans minds.
  16. Until some other reporter reports this... this is still some goomba NFL reporter who still thinks Harbaugh is heading to Oakland.
  17. Its an extremely self-indulgent turn for him. I think indicative that he lacks some basic judgement which is likely caused by untreated mental illness.
  18. I understand that Oakland is in play
  19. Ian Rappaport of NFL fame reporting Blake Corum is out for the year for knee surgery
  20. He's an idiot for carrying without the paper. Dumbshittery.
  21. So this is a thread
  22. I heard from the Spartan board that he actually was shooting at Spartan players in the tunnel.
  23. So, hearing he had a CCW and then it lapsed? How frequently do you have to renew a CCW in the state of Michigan that a man of his age would have one and it would lapse? I have one in the state of Virginia which goes for 5 years.
