    So from what I've read ATACMS > SRBM in terms of destructive power, ability to hit a wider area, and accuracy. Seems like a bad trade for RZ if that's the consequence for buying Iranian missiles. 

    ATACMS has multiple warhead options too, similar to HIMARS:  unitary warheads or multiple bomblets.

    In US inventory, the Precision Strike Missile is being delivered to replace the ATACMS.

    This evening, the kids and I went to a local greasy spoon for dinner.  The booth behind me had a couple, probably mid-60's, who were finishing up.   They were talking about the debate as if it was a football game that was upcoming; they were excited.  Within about 10 seconds I figured out they were Team GOP.

    The husband was asking the wife questions about format, network, etc.   The wife was using her phone and looking up basic information about the debate, and then when she told him it was 90 minutes long, he said that was bad news for her---she couldn't debate for that long.  Plus, the network was so biased that she obviously already had all the questions and whatnot.   The wife came back with each person would get 2 minutes, then 2 minutes for a rebuttal, then a minute for a follow up if needed.    Husband said Trump wouldn't need the full 2 minutes, because he gets straight to the point and could answer any question in 30 seconds or less, and his answers would be so great Harris couldn't reply.

     

    My wife and I thought that was you.   Next time, buy our dinner, you broke, woke, libtard, commie, illegal alien loving dumbocrat…. 😂

    The thing to remember when you see Russian's in uniform die, is that they have all made choices, which lead them to their death.  They had the choice to refuse conscription (yes, they would have gone to prison, but that's a choice), they had the choice to flee their country (they didn't), they had the choice as mercenaries not to take blood money (they did it anyway), and ultimately, they had the choice to surrender, even to the bitter end (the Ukrainians have repeatedly shown a willingness to accept a surrender) and they didn't do that either.  Further, they made the choice to accept their society as it is, and they did nothing about it, they are complicit by proxy to this entire shitshow.  

    Now, also consider this, these are people in uniform, active combatants, in a war.  The Russian's have slaughtered civilians, tens of thousands of them.  That these men might not have done it means very little to me at least, as their mere presence on the field perpetuates the Russian continued attack of said civilians.  

    So when you consider all this, maybe you won't feel so bad about it.  While the waste of human lives is an affront to decency, we must also consider the justness of the why.  

    All of this.  Fuck Russia.

    None of the cable networks are news anymore.   They are opinion oriented.  

    The cable networks are for-profit corporations.

    They want your eyeballs watching as many commercials as possible, by keeping you watching for longer.

    The best way is to maintain a comfortable echo-chamber for you, so you’ll get the warm, fuzzy feeling of opinion reinforcement.

    its a win-win for the cable news operations, since it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to run one studio, enjoy limited expenses for news gathering, and, as a bonus, most of these interviewees are in a quid pro quo relationship with the cable news outlets, and agree to be on at no cost.

    Speaking of Kursk, some really "respectable" types all seem to think that Ukraine will hold the area they currently have in Kursk, and build up their forces there, and then do something big next year when the weather is more favorable. Nobody can agree upon whether they go north/west or south/east.  If they go south/east, they have Belgorod in their sights.

     

    as shitty as Russia’s infrastructure is, the terrain in Kursk region, once dry after winter, will be highly conducive of “thunder run” offensives like Ukraine’s in Kharkiv in 2023.

    Ukraine watched good combined arms action in Iraq.  They know.

    It's more than they are just a band of criminals in their own right, they are collectively scared for their jobs, as they should be.  I looked it up the other day, and in the county were I live, population around 300k, between the Sheriff's department, and all the individual cities with their own departments, we have at least 4,000 cops.  Mind you this isn't Texas with huge counties or anything like that, it's not even a large county by Georgia standards.  4,000!  Mind you, crime here is pretty low, mainly the garden variety DUI, some shoplifting, and drug arrests.  

    We have our own SWAT team, with tanks and bullshit it's fucking ridiculous.  A few months ago, a guy in a neighborhood across the street had a mental health breakdown, the SWAT showed up, and the end result was that the SWAT team burned the house down  They of course, were hailed as heroes that saved the day by the local  media.  Those of us nearby were baffled.  They came in like cowboys on tank, shot explosive tear gas into a house, and of course it burned to the ground.  I'm sure that was a big fucking help to the guy in the midst of mental health crisis.  

    I can't wait for us to legalize drugs and ditch most of these idiots.  Right now I would encourage anyone to just do a quick search in your own county to figure out just how many cops you have, I think you will be surprised.  I know I more or less live in a police state, and I'm betting you do as well.  

    I wish there was a “fucking hopeless” reaction for this.  Damn

    DIck Cheney is the monstrous war criminal of our times who  in any just society would have had his head chopped off by now.   If Kissinger had been capable of blushing Cheney would have made it happen.

    Cheney is an evil, genocidal fuck, but Kissinger is not far behind.  Henry was a classic 19th Century Imperial colonialist.

    I can't imagine the Russians teaching anyone about how to properly use combined arms.

    This.  If the Ukraine operation is any indication, they are good at meat wave attacks, and large quantities of howitzer fire

    they suck at every other aspect of modern war…

    - goal selection and focus

    -morale

    -surprise

    -concentration of force

    -efficiency of effort and resources 

    -flexibility at small unit level

    -unified command

  9. The gun is America’s Moloch….

    ref Leviticus 18, 20
     

    ”The sacrifice referred to was of living children consumed in the fires of offering to Moloch”

    https://www.nybooks.com/online/2012/12/15/our-moloch/

    “Molochism is the one religion that can never be separated from the state. The state itself bows down to Moloch, and protects the sacrifices made to him. So let us celebrate the falling bodies and rising statues as a demonstration of our fealty, our bondage, to the great god Gun.”

    I’m sure it’s been mentioned here but I watched the Netflix series “Turning Point, The Bomb and The Cold War.”

    It goes through the whole Russian history, WW2, Communisom, the Cold War and how the Oligarchs got set up.

    Its a great series and pretty insane how all of it came to be with Putin. He was just a below average KGB guy close to the Berlin Wall and now he’s probably the wealthiest guy in the world.

    Putin has always had the most delusional priorities for himself and Russia that make no sense in the grand scheme of economics, functional society and rationalism.

    He’s a true psychopath and I can’t wait until they blow his head off. I don’t see any way that he dies of natural causes. 

    Highly recommend Dr. Mark Galeotti’s podcast, “In Moscow’s Shadows”

    same conclusion….

    Now we're getting somewhere.  Enough with the pussyfooting bullshit.  These folks are actively conspiring and working with a foreign power to harm this country.  Whatever the max the law will allow us to do to them....do it.  Fuck it, do more.  Tie 'em up, toss 'em in a cargo plane, and airdrop them over the Russian border.  Let them live with and under their master.
