  1. THIS IS PATHETIC Also, why would they need to have passenger vehicles? To remove people. Why would you need to remove people? Where would you put people? In camps? In camps where you could concentrate all the non-compliant types? In concentration camps?
  2. The silver bullet would be to stockpile Japanese, Australian and American ground forces in token to non-token numbers.
  3. The central idea is contained in the tweet. The nuances are in the article as a practitioner of air power I would LOVE to see F-35s and F-22s proving themselves on a battlefield for Xi to see before he contemplates this coming invasion of Taiwan. However, as a person who enjoys having a non-nuclear suntan and low levels of radioactive material in my atmosphere, lets be careful. Also, Ukraine can kick Putin's ass with aid + intel + lend lease equipment.
  4. Oooh...this is good
  5. Scraping the bottom of the barrel to send these guys
  6. i gather the former President said some asanine things last night because my Twitter feed has F-22 and Trump trending.
  7. original tweet didn't embed
  8. https://twitter.com/michaeldweiss/status/1500192565764763652?s=21 amazing
  9. Kacie, i apologize for getting into a “whose suffering matters more” dialogue. It all sucks. Ukraine matters because its the 44m people economy trying to join EU and is in the bullseye of Putin. Yemen is the messy side of the messy side of the hot mess of the World. But the people in either place matter and the international community should hope that they give succor to all.
  10. Yes, Putin conducted negative stakeholder analysis
  11. The notable item is the UAV. Russian UAV skills are weak CNN had video of the Mi-8 going down.
  12. just hearing about the Zelensky zoom meeting with US lawmakers. It sounds like a lot of enthusiasm for supporting. Zelensky asked for a no-fly zone. Not hearing if the lawmakers expressed any support for that.
  13. Im not mad that Ukraine’s suffering isnt woke
  14. The allies are NATO which is a formal alliance.
  15. not likely but definitely nauseating
  16. So, draw your own conclusions about this guy's state of mind
  17. Having some awareness of the crap on these trains. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Russia has more human resources to send at Ukraine but the people of Russia are awakening to the idea that they have an Afghanistan on their hands in which there are 40M mujaheddin armed with the most effective western weapons.
  18. Yeah, Pence in this is Erdogan: a skunk who is helpful to us right now.
  19. The reporters in the Ukraine war are definitely becoming part of the story. I saw Clarissa Ward helping some old people out of the rubble while on camera doing her report.
  20. they have way better material
  21. I have been more than a little emotional these last few nights seeing the spirit in the Ukrainians. It reminds me of watching The Battle of Britain with my son when he was very small and explaining to him that his English relatives were fighting for the very existence of Democracy. Imagine you were given this decision in your life. Stay and fight monstrous evil for your country. And evil is happening to them. This won't end without unimaginable suffering. My son is now 18 and intently interested in what is happening. As a parent this is really challenging. I can tell him how I know the US and NATO air forces would clean every clock in Russia if they created a no-fly zone but then we would risk nuclear war.
  22. The ABC news lead anchor tonight reporting on the refugees was very effecting
