  1. Well, Don Brown thought he was pretty smart until OSU started all them bloody crossing routes against his D.
  2. Napoleon and the Constable of France would have both been wise not to attack the British on muddy ground.
  3. again, I would caution that the frozen ground isn't as much of an issue given all the tarmac roads. Then again, watch Bald and Bankrupt's youtube channel and you'll see the Former Soviet Union is very backward as far as its road nets go.
  4. He is dying to do this. I think he's annoyed that the Olympics might be a problem for him and make his bank (Xi) unhappy.
  5. As for crossing rivers. I don't actually know how likely that is. The rivers in Ukraine are the good kind that flow North to South which means they don't necessarily freeze up. Rivers in Siberia have the bad habit of flowing South to North which causes all sorts of swampiness when all that river backs up because of ice. However, having read all that. I see that the Dnipro does often freeze over. Regardless, the Russian Army have bridging equipment.
  6. You would think that. However, its actually notable how much hard packed ground of winter figures into the Russian big wins throughout history. Stalingrad was caused by a Operation Uranus in late 1942. The Red Army saved Moscow in winter 1941 because they shipped their Eastern Siberia army to Moscow via the railway. The Red Army was much more foot-borne in those days but having hard cold ground mattered as they were trying to move large forces at key vulnerable spots in the German lines. The traditional campaign seasons in the steppe are Winter when the ground is frozen and the hottest, driest part of the Summer. The muddy season which starts sooner than Vladdie would like would purportedly be a hinderance....except its modern times and all the roads have tarmac now.
  7. Noclador is thinking the moves are starting to creep toward the start of this thing.
  8. I’m the right color if i can get $4billion single dollar investors
  9. Honestly, the Harbaugh being a different kind of guy is code for he's probably got high functioning autism. Whatever, he's functioning.
  10. Sometimes eccentric is and sometimes eccentric is
  11. We are in agreeance as to the issue. Its really amazing that in a league with 70% AA players, where a guy like Caldwell can lift the Detroit Lions into "mediocrity" from their normal ceiling of "embarrassing" can't find work. I want Harbaugh to succeed. I would have been interested to see Gattis take over the program.
  12. Not until Lebron James and maybe Oprah Winfrey or maybe Tyler Perry decide to buy a team (if the NFL allows them to).
  13. I heard this call was made and Foote is chasing his NFL dreams
  14. Peter Meijer has been pretty darn good https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/04/rnc-censure-cheney-kinzinger-shameful-whitewashing-meijer-says/6668084001/
  15. Good thought as well
  16. CMRIV, so weird. I posted mine while you were posting yours and my "confused" statement was independent of Slava's tweet. Dovetails. There are many confused. People who don't have the courage to tell the bartender to turn off Foxnews at 11am on drinking day.
  17. One thing is for sure. I damn to hell anyone who is confused about the current leaders of the Republican Party.
  18. Sarah frames the Ronna Romney issue
  19. This seems likely Bossie or some other person who is under investigation was behind the RNC push. Was hearing something about Ronna Romney having made some weird statement.
  20. So, this guy is a hyperbole machine. But this is an interesting take on this.
  21. Its a form of discourse. Its not a legitimate form of discourse in a democratic republic guided by the Rule of Law.
  22. They did and that is an outrage.
  23. Man, I am not the same man I was in January 2016.
