  1. Fuck that. Biden has been as effective as possible give the insane asylum in the House. And any Dem or moderate that thinks different is a fucking concern troll.

  3. Thanks for this, I have been feeling pretty on edge about the 2024 elections, but your track record really has me feeling better. Also, your post is complete fucking bullshit. Why is Biden old and senile, exactly? Show your work? What has he accomplished? How about historic unemployment, record job growth, the CHIPS Act, reviving a lagging NATO that Trump has STILL stated he wants the US to leave, getting the debt ceiling passed in a way that Republicans are complaining the "Senile" old man outsmarted them, how about an Infrastructure Bill that Republicans have been wanting to pass for years now, to rebuild our failing roads and bridges? Do you need more about what he's accomplished? How about supporting Ukraine. How about bringing runaway inflation down substantially compared to every other country in the world?

  7. From that tweet (didn't realize Musk took the limits completely off) Have we been conned? Serious question. After all Russia spent a huge amount of resources to construct multiple defensive lines but the evidence such as it is may be showing a different picture. Please if you enjoy my work help my reach with a boost and a RT and I will work hard to earn it. Long Ass Tweet Warning! Pre-Counter Offensive it looked like the Russian's MLR was set back from the FLOC likely to reduce exposure to artillery, reduce enemy counter-battery options, drones, patrols and other ISR assets before the battle kicked off. Sensible thing to do, plus importantly it let Russia choose the terrain the main fight would be on. The Russians had months to site, build and prepare a series of defensive works to receive and absorb any Ukrainian attack using troops who were mostly rested and who had a chance to learn soldier skills and the terrain they would fight on. So why fight so hard forward of the line now and throw all of that away? This question needs to be answered. I can understand harassing the AFU as it pushes forward so that when they reach your lines your first real blow hits an exhausted disorganized enemy, but we are not seeing that kind of action. The evidence so far is compelling, if not absolute. I am going to offer up 4 main points: A counterattack at Makarivka. Barrier troops gunning down retreating Russians. Incredibly high burn rate of FPV drones and other assets. Willingness to expose artillery to counter-battery fire. At Makarivka Pro-Russian accounts are claiming the 127th MRD launched a counterattack retaking the village. This is very close to the initial start lines as far as artillery goes and brings them into range of Ukrainian guns, drones and missiles that can fight from prepared positions. Ukrainian higher command and support assets are closer and better able to exercise C3 and keep the logistics tail working. Finally, the Ukrainian penetration was not deep enough to create a real flank to hit with enough impact to be operationally important. The attack makes no sense to me. Ditto the barrier troops gunning down their fellow soldiers. I can totally get leaving blocking forces forward of the MLR to break up the Ukrainian attack with ambushes and pre-sited artillery to wreck their timetable and gain your own side intelligence about enemy movements, equipment and other items we use to cover with SALUTE reports. But, those troops job is to delay, at some point you have to let them fall back. The Japanese had suicide troops; these Russians are not them. Gunning them down only encourages surrender. The only purpose of barrier troops is to keep men in the line where the MLR is. If the barrier troops are forward, then so is the main effort. I think this supposition is supported by the incredibly high burn rate of FPV drones, loitering munitions, artillery shells and the early and heavy application of tactical air power. This has killed and injured a lot of Ukrainians and damaged or destroyed a lot of equipment, but it hasn't caught any of them in a sack where things like enfilade fires can make bad situations absolutely hellish. It also means that once again, Ukrainian assets that are much better at deep precision fires can conduct artillery missions with much more effectiveness. I have no doubt Ukrainian counter-battery fires are wrecking Russian artillery. As soon as a Russian gun starts firing its death clock starts ticking. Yet had they permitted the Ukrainians to get deeper, they would be moment when Ukraine would self-degrade her own counter battery ability as the fight moved out of range and radars and guns had to move. Fighting close to the start lines lets Ukraine keep her assets in the fight. Given those four assumptions, the next question is why? Why fight forward instead of using the advantages that the prepared defenses would lend you? I have no doubt that trenches got dug, at least some obstacles were emplaced, and minefields laid but the single most important factor about a defense in depth is manpower. By the end of WWI the trench scheme was perfected. The forward line was to break up the enemy attack and was only lightly held. The 2nd line was where you really wanted to hold, and the 3rd is where you had local reserves that could move quickly to reenforce threatened sectors and launch local counter attacks. Behind them at some distance safe from artillery would be your operational reserves that would only be committed once you were sure you knew where the enemy's major effort was. This basic layout has not changed since 1918 because it more or less works. At Kursk the Soviets were able to use these successive lines to attrit the Germans and then at places like Prokhorovka. The Germans did it to the Soviets as well like Zhukov's defeat during Operation Mars. Yet this style of fighting needs bodies. Look at the Battle of the Seelow Heights. Heinrici had a great defensive scheme but lacked the troops and reserves to really make it stick. He punched the Soviets in the nose but could not save Berlin. Given the size of the frontage, I think Russia is facing a manpower crisis. So let's do some math. Russia has a maximum of 800k troops in Ukraine. She had 300,000k active-duty troops before the war. 4-50k LNR/DNR troops, 40k Wagner, a mobilization of 300k and two other induction cycles for about another 300k as well as dribs and drabs from other PMC's. Thats just about a million men. Past reports say she had committed 90% of her ground combat power to Ukraine so 900k before losses. Now we have to consider those losses. Ukraine is claiming that number is reduced by 217k permanent losses, the US by 75k. Plus an unknown number of wounded say a traditional 3:1 ratio. If we assume half the wounded can return, but half have to be invalided out that moves the numbers up to 300k and 115k respectively. That only leaves between 6-800k troops for the entire area. Out of that number have to come all the air defense, railway and service troops, the troops guarding Crimea, being sent to Bilhorod, used as barrier troops etc. Every cook, clerk and mechanic is one less rifleman or tanker at the front. The Russian Tooth-To-Tail ratio (T3R) is likely weighted more towards combat than NATO but is still going to be at least 1.5:1. That reduces Russia's maximum number of troops that can fight to between 220-310K or so. Thats not very man men given the length of the front. Thats even before we considered known concentrations like Bakhmut, Kremina, Enerhodor etc. Take out those concentrations, and whatever is left is all Russia has to man her lines and serve as local and operational reserves. I don't think that number is big enough to do it. I think Russia is fighting forward to try and shock the Ukrainians into making bad assumptions about Russian strength. "If we can beat them early, they will stop and regroup" type of thinking. I think Russia wants to fight a series of mobile battles forward where her smaller operational reserves can move around to where they are needed to act as fire brigades. This is a losing strategy. But it may be the only option Russia has. There is one final factor that may be driving this. @oryxspioenkop has documented over 2k Russian tank losses and over 10k total pieces of significant military equipment from IFVs to guns to trucks lost so far. It is entirely possible that Russia lacks the equipment to create enough local and operational armored reserves that can afford to wait for Ukraine to come to them. Scarcity itself might be forcing Russia to go looking for Ukrainian armor to engage. I think if Ukraine keeps on delivering blows the Russian facade will crack. I think it lacks the resources to weather the blows and when the Ukrainians get to those prepared lines, they will find them nearly devoid of troops. My math is imperfect, but it doesn't lie. The numbers are just not there to be strong everywhere. The flipside does not hold true for Ukraine. She has 1.2-1.3 million citizens under arms. Some will be service troops, doing rear area security, guarding against Belarussian perfidy etc. but of the troops she has for combat, she can concentrate them and act where she wants to. She has the ability to achieve overwhelming local and operational superiority and has the added benefit of interior lines so shifting reserves is much easier for her. Her biggest risk is sustainment. This is where we come in as #NAFO #Fellas... Tomorrow starts the effort to canvas all 535 members of Congress. I will be calling @JohnBoozman , @SenTomCotton, and @RepFrenchHill telling them to send more, better and now and to push@POTUS to declare that #RussiaIsATerroristState. I encourage all US based Fellas to join me by contacting your own leaders and for international Fellas to keep up the pressure on your own governments. By the way, when you contact them, be respectful and also remind them that your vote follows your money and that you donate to Ukrainian causes. Today in the midst of all the death going around I felt lead to help save some small lives, the innocent victims of war. Not a bad idea to contact your Congressional reps/Senators.

  9. They’re supposed to accept that the universe/society/β€œwomen” don’t owe them a partner or sex or blowjobs. I really don’t know what else to say, if a woman would rather be alone than with you, then that’s a message. But this kind of concern for these dudes gets tiring and a bit disingenuous. Look, here’s a guy at your workplace who’s really socially awkward. He is only interested in things that are either non-interesting or actually offensive to you. He drones on about them all the time, and he doesn’t take cues on when to stop talking and how to carry a conversation. He alternates between self-pity and arrogance. He maybe doesn’t have great hygiene, he doesn’t have a great job and can’t afford to go to really fun things. Why won’t you be his best friend? No, not β€œinclude him” every now and then. Not grab a beer when he’s feeling down. You need to be his best friend. Maybe take some buddy trips. Hang out every chance you get. Invite him to all the family stuff. Find him on break to shoot the shit. Let him turn to you, and you turn to him when you really need something. Why don’t you want to be best friends? Come on, the position is open, you haven’t had a best friend since college and y’all only see each other once a year. What, are your standards so high that you think another, better best friend is gonna come along? We’re all old now, it’s hard to make friends. Those groups are established. It’s either no close friends or this weird guy you don’t have anything in common with. What if he really promises to work on the hygiene? He’ll try not to only talk about anime? Then will you be his best friend? Is this going to work for you? Now add in β€œoh, and you give him blowjobs and split your finances.”

  12. And that's why it's a race. The voter restriction laws, the ability to overthrow elections when they don't like the results, all the shit that you're seeing take place in multiple states to ensure they retain local power even if they don't win national...it's a race to pure fascism. They know that window is closing, and they know that can't appeal to new voters, so here they are, deciding that democracy isn't as important as their "morality." That's the game.
