  1. I'm hanging up there in July. It's Trump country which is always fun. Random open air public use gun range right off the road real close and it always had dudes running their ARs.
  2. The video game argument is backwards logic on crack. What is the problem with video games? THEY'RE TOO VIOLENT! What makes them violent? THEY GLORIFY USING GUNS! 😐
  3. Astounding that we the people were OK with getting on lists and taking our shoes off anytime we go to the airport due to 1 failed terrorist attempt, but not ok with jumping thru a couple hoops to buy a machine designed to kill multiple people as efficiently as possible. We are ok with having to be trained, insured, and regularly regulated to drive a car, but not for owning a machine designed to kill multiple people as efficiently as possible. That we are ok to hold accountable a bar owner for someone who may kill someone driving home after a night of drinking, but not anyone involved in the mass shooting of innocent children. Nothing about our current situation is even close to adhering to the constitution. Guns are minimally regulated and not part of a militia designed as state defense. It is sickening that a large portion of this country fetishizes machines designed to kill as many people as possible as efficiently as possible, all while clutching their bible in one hand and some twisted version of the Constitution in the other.
  4. What about information warfare? It could be argued that without help from Russia, Trump might not have been President.
  5. Taiwan is probably gobbling up any kind of learnings from this engagement.
  6. The other one is the rune of the God Tyr. Often used as a protection symbol in war, meaning justice. I hate how the far right idiots steal others cultures for their own uses. They did the same with skinhead culture. S.H.A.R.P. for life
  7. Yo bro. I'm not one to fret about rep. but note there are two smokeys here: the original (me) and the shit stain imposter you quoted.
  8. One thing to me that makes Ukraine's claim stronger is the fact that the remainder of the Russian fleet has backed off a bit. Why if it was a mistake?
  9. This Maria Butina? https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/03/nra-maria-butina-ukraine-putin-war-crimea-republicans-trump-guns/ https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/467425-russian-agent-butina-to-be-released-from-prison-deported/
  10. You use what you can. They've already knocked out a ship with MLRS system which is not designed for ships.
  11. They'll get hijacked by pirates in African waters. Love to see the imagery of a Russian warship be towed by a fishing boat.
  12. Heard they had 2 days worth of backup generator power
  13. Sorry if already asked but is Russia's failure rate on missiles/bombs abnormally high? Seems like we see a lot of unexploded ordinance but have no reference due to the social media aspect of this war vs previous wars.
  14. Can't Ukraine just promise to not be in NATO, then when Russia leaves just join NATO and say they were crossing their fingers behind their back? It's the Russian playbook.
  15. Maybe it's not FSB and maybe it's all about psyops
  16. That is all for his people. He needs to act like a rational actor but the rest of the world knows what's really up.
  17. Looking at the videos, this isn't errant shelling. This is straight up shooting up the building with all forms of guns from all sides. This is very intentional. Fuck Putin.
  18. Man, I aint shaking hands with no Russians in this context
  19. Reports this morning that Putins approval rating in Russia has gone up. Russians hate the war but they don't like the west attacking their economy. Going to be a long slog.
  20. Yeeeaaahhhh. I mean. That seems like a shot across the bow.
