  1. They train against Americans that they met decades ago. They have no idea how to fight a modern war against modern weaponry and tactics. Also, this isn't their war. Russian soldiers are giving up and this is their war. I went down the rabbit hole with this series a while ago and it proved illuminating on just how detached they are from fielding a real modern army.
  2. Vice did a good series on this year's ago
  3. Human centipede of grift

  5. Yeah it's been great. I was concerned with wild fires coming this late in the summer but the afternoon rains have been perfect. We're dreading leaving Monday.
  6. I wonder what Senator had intimate conversations gathered on his phone. Cruz? MTG? Boebert?
  7. We're going to walk away from them?
  8. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4614648 China announced that it will hold military exercises that include live-fire drills in six zones surrounding Taiwan following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's arrival in Taiwan.
  9. They're about to fist fight while leaving
  10. Lol Jones squirming like crazy at not getting to speak
  11. What kind of actions are viable by the judge? These sanctions.
  12. I don't know but it's fascinating
  13. Is the prosecution trying to hold back laughs while he's hawking vitamins?
  14. "tore his larynx"
  15. Lol "slow down a little bit" after a Matrix comment
  16. I hope they ask his thoughts on lizard people
  17. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/02/politics/gallery/pelosi-china-history/index.html Pelosi likes to poke China in the eye when possible. I'm all for it.
  18. Not wrong but also a war is a great unifying subject (sadly). I think across the political spectrum, China is viewed in a negative light. Maybe more so than Russia. But we shouldn't be dictating our long term global strategic goals/security by placating the worst of our society. We have our own domestic terrorists who want to destroy our government regardless of how we manage our external enemies. But China wants to take the top Superpower spot and will work towards that regardless of what anyone else wants. It is in our best interest to stymie that and its most effective to do that when they are weak, not regrouped and able to focus solely on our responses.
