    Basket is lighter than the berries. Wind blowing right to left. Momentum keeps before going to the right, then wind blows empty basket back to the left.Well, if he's on the cross-dressing forum, they might not be "ladies".

    Nah, He's flipping the basket at the last second with his hand.

    Shrapnel is a bitch. You can be 5 feet behind someone hitting a mine and not take a hit. Other times one person hits one and a squad is gone. What is interesting is the Russian troops have no idea about dispersal of force. Tells me their comms suck. Good. Fuck them.

    These dropped drone munitions remind me a lot of mines. Ya never know. 

    Looks like they were carrying someone that was injured.  No excuse for the rest of them though.

    I thought I read somewhere the Abrams needed Jet Fuel or Gasoline instead of Diesel which caused a logistics problem but I looked it up and apparently it has a multi-fuel turbine that can burn jet fuel, gasoline or diesel.  

    I'm sure the maintenance and operation need to be trained.

    Not sure where I saw it, but I believe it's the amount of fuel required that is problematic, not the type.

    I mean, who do you think is getting paid here?

    I was replying to Gengs post about the government "just paying the local community".  That's twisting reality for a feel good angle.

     

    I'm not trying to bag on defense contractors.  The work they do is a huge part of the result we are seeing in this war, but honest reporting of the facts is enough to get everyone but the most stubborn dipshits on the same side of this issue.

     

    No need to give said dipshits low-hanging fruit to point at and say "See we're being manipulated!"

    The part that most people don’t realize is that what the gov is going is just paying the local community to produce more weapons that we give away, we are still paying American workers (I am sure some are working crazy OT hrs, improving the production lines and training new ppl to make the weapons) to make them  and aren’t giving the funds to Ukraine. we are essentially paying Americans with these funds 
     

    That’s what they need to sell to all the idiots.  

    Would you say these funds we are paying the local community with... trickle down?

     

    Look, I'm 100% behind giving Ukraine all the weapons they want, but lets not pretend it isn't the usual suspects (contractors/politicians) getting paid here.
