  1. Agree. This thread is more important than people who can't control themselves. Warn the posters, then nuke them, but not the thread.
  2. Is this a swap/exchange deal? Asking for a friend.
  3. Every Halloween the trees will be filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets will explode.
  4. We're not. We are sowing discord and diluting the effectiveness of the FSB. The fact that this made the news was on purpose and should indicate that it is likely not accurate...but Putin/Russia seeing it does have benefits.
  5. So Putin and the Kremlin did a poll. He has 90% approval rating out of his entire general staff. Wait, it's now 100% approval! *Note: Job posting for Kremlin general staff just posted on indeedUR.com
  6. They’re called women, you insensitive bastard!
  7. Ukraine has open and functioning air bases still up and running. Mainly in the Western part of the country. Not sure how many pilots they have.
  8. But while symbolic, Kyiv falling doesn’t mean that much. The Russians can put 20k of skilled soldiers with armor and air superiority into the battle. But how does that many men “ hold” a city of 3 Million? And, while they are traveling through other areas and cities to get there, once they leave to go to Kyiv, unless they leave thousands of troops behind they don’t control that territory anymore. And they don’t have men to leave behind. If we think of Ukraine as the size of Texas with 43M people, imagine trying to take and then hold Texas with 50k combat troops and 150k support troops. You could take Austin or DFW, but how can you hold it, manage your supplies, all the while taking casualties and having a population sniping at you around every corner. So taking it can be done at a cost, but then keeping it is even harder, or you pull out and give it back to go to a new objective.
  9. Military planners talk about a Tooth-to-tail radio, meaning how many support personnel are required to keep one front line fighter in the field. Tail or support are supply, intel, logistics, cooks, communications, military police, mechanics etc. These support personnel are soldiers too, but their primary role is not to be in combat, so if they are engaged in significant fighting then that is usually a problem and not good for that force. So if we say 50k front line combat troops are deployed they could need 3-5 (numbers can vary) support personnel to keep them supported and combat ready. So with 50k of deployed combat troops and 200k - 250k of total forces deployed (estimate), there is no great reserve force waiting to swoop in.
  10. He is sending Russian Chechen's who are part of the Russian army's Chechen units. He's not sending ISIS fighters, as they don't like or support Russia or Putin. They don't like US/Europe either, but ISIS/Islamic fighters certainly won't fight FOR Russia.
  11. It is to 1 in 4 posters.
  12. Have you never been to the cloak room?
  13. The Berlin Coal Lift!
  14. Not only is it magnificent, but somehow one of my post/avatar is on the big TV. I am not sure if this feels more like Christmas morning, or that I won the lottery?
  15. I think you are forgetting that Russia invaded Poland along with the Germans/Nazi's. So only if Nato (in prior agreement with Russia) invaded Ukraine to take over the other half of Ukraine would the analogy fit. But the Croatian = Sudetenland and Ukraine = Poland - Nazi comparisons are reasonable.
  16. I told demz not ta play my mix tape until dey was import!
  17. Mary J looks 50+, but she tried to bring it. The other guys look 60 and performed like it.
  18. … and do you like yogurt?
  19. But aggy leadership is ONLY accepting online petitions.
  20. And not arrested for Human Trafficking! I guess they didn't get just Juan day off, they got two!
