  1. So no, the Rooskies didn't learn the main lesson from the Battle of Britain. Good.
  2. We've moved from the "be as fascist as possible to get the nomination" phase into the "pretend we're not fascist to win the general" phase. I, too, am disappointed that the open embrace of fascism has ceased. Too many will forget.
  3. That is pretty high up the back for an accidental skid mark. Had to be an intentional wipe of the ass.
  4. Well, he's Jimbo's boss, so kinda related.
  5. From soggy Nastysota: FIGHT!!!
  6. Interesting timing for this. I love it.
  7. "Dancin', dancin', dancin'! He's a dancin' machine!"
  8. There's nothing irrational about that at all.
  9. Yep, supply chain issues.
  10. Keep fucking that chicken.
  11. People who get irrationally angry when others use their hazard signals in hazardous situations.
  12. Just like @FizzleFish said above. Add a package of ranch dip mix to a 32 oz jar of dill pickle slices and shake to mix. Let stand two or three days, then enjoy. I like the HEB Pickle Me Dilly slices for this, but I imagine Del-Dixie hamburger slices would be just as good.
  13. A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to ranch dill pickles, and now I am addicted.
  14. An offensive like this can cut both ways. If the Russians can stop the Ukrainians and throw them back, they would want to keep the pressure on and counterattack wherever Ukraine is weakest. Russia could be trying to reinforce to hold, set the situation to allow a withdrawal, or reinforce to throw back the Ukrainians and take the offensive themselves. If I were in charge of the Russian forces, I would try for going on the counterattack. With their logistical difficulties, it may be the best option. See also Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg.
  15. A pleasant thought just occurred to me: since Putin has shoved Shoigu aside and taken direct overall control over operations in Ukraine, if this offensive is successful, the responsibility is all his. Politically, logistically, and operationally. To steal a line: he remains a genius.
  16. Ok, Ukraine. Time to fuck up some trains.
  17. I want to believe, but the guy who is supposed to be surrounded sounds pretty calm and rested, there's no background noise, and the signal sounds remarkably good for not having much left in the way of comms. It sounds too staged. I am skeptical.
  18. We don't know that it has happened yet. Such maneuvers take some time, especially with the number of forces involved and the terrain. With the operational security that Ukraine is trying to enforce, we may not know that it has happened until well after it is completed. Patience, man, patience.
  19. Does Kenneth Copeland know that's missing from his dresser drawer?
  20. Maybe some of the oligarchs see the writing on the wall and deal with him first. You know, Do unto others before they do unto you. What moron would fly over this war zone now? The world knows that Russia would shoot down a civilian airliner in a heartbeat.
  21. Yep, same thing: emblem of a loser.
  22. That would be a damn big drone.
  23. If A-10s could mount a full suite of SEAD/DEAD equipment, yes, I think they would make a big difference. Otherwise, they are sitting ducks. Even in Dessert Storm, where we had air supremacy, A-10s had to fly above 10,000 feet due to SAMs and AAA. That cut down on their brrrrt ability by a lot.
  24. The real question, and crux of this battle, is can Russia launch a big counterattack to try to break through to them? With the river in the way and how HIMARS o'clock has been eroding Russian supplies and equipment, I don't think that they can. ETA - This doesn't mean that Russia won't try, nor that Russia won't do something else, like shoot cruise missiles at Kyiv or Odessa.
  25. Something tells me that the Russians will see that ammo again, but not static in boxes. Get some, Ukraine!
