  1. Well, he can’t bitch about it because it was obviously Predestined….
  2. They see that Russia is imploding, and they are probably pretty sure that they won’t be invaded by the Russians anytime soon, given the circumstances, even if their border checkpoints cause Russia some logistical problems by delaying military supplies. Given the region, it’s probably not more complex than Kazakhstan’s leaders using the moment to get something out of Russia in return for letting the Chinese military stuff through again. Either that, or China has no problem/encourages this, helping Russia’s descent into its impending implosion - all while appearing to provide support. A weak Russia with problems can only greatly benefit China in a myriad of ways in the long run. And in the short run they can continue raping Russia by insisting on cheaper crude oil exports as Russia’s cash poor self can’t protest. Then again, it may just be the same old story: when a bully has victimized someone over a long period of time - and that victim now has the opportunity to obtain a measure of revenge against the bully - they will.
  3. if you have no guarantee of continued fuel supply, you simply no longer have a nation capable of maintaining a supply chain. If you cannot sell and deliver your goods to people, you’re out of business.
  4. I saw an interesting video about the strike on the refinery that was north of Moscow. Part of the genius of that attack was using flocks of super cheap drones carrying no munitions to confuse air defenses and make them spend resources to stop the large numbers of what were essentially completely useless and non-threatening drones. if sending up hundred dollar drones will result in expensive AA Resources being wasted by Russia, they should be doing this every night until it’s time to use the real drones or missiles.
  5. Holy Perspicacity on Esoteric Info Batman. I dunno, but it seems wise to take your word for it and not do a Google search on the term.
  6. But enough about politics. Do you all appreciate the damage done to our states’ economies by the wild pig populations? This hurts everyone - homeowners, farmers, ranchers, endangered animal and plant populations threatened by wild pigs. The elections will take care of themselves guys. I am embracing my God-given right to enjoy purchasing my second amendment wild pig hunting semiautomatics. because when the wild pigs come to destroy your prepper garden foods, your woke urban animal control officials won’t be there to help you. And your Nancy boy pepper spray won’t stop that lead boar from destroying every one of your vine-ripe beefsteak tomatoes.
  7. Just one page produced the definitive Surly Universe descriptor.
  8. my poor example was a bad attempt to point out that there are pockets of people to be picked off. The parent of the special-needs child is the one who cares about that, not the lack of empathy person. Everyone doesn’t care about national parks, but the people who do think passionately about it. MAGA does not care about cancer research going away, but people and their families suffering from cancer care about that. What I was trying to convey is to find things that hurt Maga voters caused by the GOP. Because while they don’t care if it hurts you, it obviously makes a difference if it hurts them. Totally my bad to include topics like school lunches, because they are fine with black kids starving. You are all correct and calling that out. My poorly made point was to find ways where selfish Maga types were being harmed, and to spotlight why they were being harmed.
  9. Yup. True. But I think there is a certain psychological aspect to having ICBMs launched at your city - with the best result being a flamingo being shot down by your local missile defense and hopefully not landing on you. Moscow residents need to hear air raid warning sirens as well. Mostly, I want to see if they can knock down 30 of them at once or slightly staggered.
  10. Every time I think about it, I get angry, but the single thing that gets me the most frustrated is the fact that the basic easily provable facts of this administration’s incompetent and destruction of the basic functions of American government is so glaringly apparent to anyone who has that information, that all you really need to do is pick about 10 talking points for your various commercials. AI and focus groups should tell us the top 10 issues that cross political lines. Explain what they are going to do to small hospitals and rural communities. Explain how America is no longer a research leader because of DOGE firing the scientists. Explained that there is no longer criminals, making billions in the stock market because the SEC has been neutered. Explain that education and assistance to special-needs children across the country is being shut down and withdrawn. Explain that the Republicans are focusing on depriving children from getting some of the only food they receive. Remind voters that taking away healthcare for 13 million people will only happen after the viol election, and that the GOP‘s big beautiful Bill set it up that they wouldn’t know the bad things were going to happen until after they voted for them again. Why is it so fucking hard?
  11. Did you ever have a head coach intentionally put time back on the clock after 10 seconds would be run off - and you’re trying not to give Texas time to tie the game? That increased my blood alcohol far more than the W result my friend. And nothing about your post is incorrect.
  12. I still think a flight of 30 flamingos at each of St. Petersburg and Moscow largest power generation facilities and grids would overload any air defenses, and make for a freezing winter. Power plants knocked out before the snow comes down is better for PR, as Russia says it can replace everything and nothing was hurt in the first place. I know that fuel restrictions in the two major elite cities is having some effect, but it took starving the rural territories of gas before it wound up impacting the major population centers. I know nothing, but it seems to me the direct route of making St. Petersburg and Moscow as unlivable as possible would have the greatest effect in the shortest period of time to topple Putin.
  13. Not really. But Sunday morning was a real bitch for me.
  14. Does anyone know what facility(s) process Ivan’s aviation fuel? For that matter, that electronic refueling capability should be used on drone missions to destroy fighter bombers dropping the glide bombs that destroy apartments and hospitals and utility targets. I haven’t heard about an airfield strike on modern fighter bombers recently. So many targets, so little time. But I would think with winter approaching Ukraine needs to focus on protecting it’s power plant and grid assets, just as it seeks to degrade Russia’s.
  15. I saw another recent video describing how Russia is getting a large amount of their artillery shells from North Korea due to Russian inability to manufacture enough on their own, and this is before the destruction of the ammonia facility. Just like NATO providing older kit to Ukraine, it turns out that North Korea is not willing to give Putin their good stuff, but are instead giving them their older artillery shells. Apparently 50% of fired Nork shells are duds, rather significantly impacting the effectiveness of Russian artillery.
  16. Konstantin says that he spoke with a Russian acquaintance who owns a freight company who confirmed that they are not shipping anything right now - - because his trucks can’t buy enough fuel to ship the contracted goods - - and even if they have enough gas to go on a delivery, they may not be able to buy gas to get back. Is that good? Because that doesn’t seem like it’s a good thing.
  17. Joby up to 19.70. Ibrx continuing to keep my fourth quarter capital gains from being a late tax event…
  18. Now the poor MAGA incels can’t even hope that foreign women with American alcohol googles finally realize what alpha males they are. All those hours of scrotum tanning wasted….
  19. but Doering got a touchdown. Preventing the ole’ Ball Coach from losing to Vandy is worth something to older Gata fans. Now Aggy’s tiny peni will be swoll and on a sacred mission to beat Florida…you know…..to show up the sips. FML
  20. I thought I’d saved that great cartoon of an emaciated Russian bear, but I can’t find it - I don’t wanna go through 1800 pages of the thread. it was posted several times Help appreciated.
  21. Yes. My best friend from high school texted me and asked, “What has Florida ever done to Texas to make them hate us so much they’d let us win?”
  22. ESpin shitting on both programs, but Florida had shit the bed so thoroughly prior to playing Texas that the horns losing to the gators must’ve looked far worse to everyone than was truly justified. Our loss to Miami isn’t looking quite as bad…. oh fuck that, it was horrible….
