  1. Related won’t go spec on the Hyatt site. If they don’t prelease a lead tenant the group that owns the dirt will pivot to multi-family. Related also purchases the ground lease at 3rd and Congress/Colorado. Ritz-Carlton isn’t happening. That information is dated by more than year, I believe.
  2. Also part of switching to NATO standard equipment.
  3. Just in from Navel News: "For the past few weeks, they [Kilo Subs] have been concentrated at Novorossiysk, another naval base much further from Ukraine"
  4. CTSO's self defense clause one higher than NATO - advantage aggy
  5. Agree with all of what y'all said. The massive public intelligence dump, and not just sharing with allied and/or other governments but putting that shit on blast in world wide media by the US, UK & others made a massive difference in torpedoing Putin's plans before this shit even started. Add to that Russians lying through their teeth for the world see. Putin got away with 2014 because the world wasn't looking and it was over before the world could react. He took that as the West not having the will, cohesion, and mindset to give a shit about Ukraine. I'm damn proud of the West's response.
  6. Texas: 31 UTSA: 16 Defense allows 286 yards
  7. In WW2, after the German capture of Crimea, they relocated to Novorossiysk. After that fell they moved to Poti in Georgia.
  8. That was my thoughts too. Easier to protect them with a couple of good MANPADS teams and/or mobile SAM. We haven't seen any evidence of it but if, big if, Russian point defense has caught a few GMLRS it might be helpful to fire off in a salvo to overwhelm it?
  9. His shin is down. There several high definition shots showing this. He was down. It was a safety. End of story.
  10. Believe they have had them since July-ish? UK and Norway if memory serves.
  11. If you can't see that our defense played better than they did against Rice last year then I don' know what to tell you. If you think that means anything as it relates to Bama then I don't know what to tell you either. Teams typically take their biggest leap from games 1 to 2. That is more evident with younger squads. This is obviously a hell of a test but these motherfuckers ain't god. If it bleeds, we can kill it. These motherfuckers bleed.
  12. Now do it minus the 4th quarter. ULM had 150 yds of offense when the 3rd and 4th string went in.
  13. I have family in the Groninger, NL area - large nat gas field that significantly cut production due to earthquakes over the years - and they have been on the fence about ramping production back up. Now they are in FAFO/Fuck Putin mode and ready for full tilt for the next ~12 months. They said, therefore take it with a big grain of salt, that the infrastructure has been maintained by the government in case of emergencies and production can be increased without much lead time and headaches.
  14. Agreed but they should have had some level of diversification and backup plans to avoid the situation they are in now. They have nukes now, they don't need geographical bottlenecks or buffer states.
  15. People on this site pick the weirdest hills to die on.
  16. Can someone ask what he thinks about being in historically German land?
  17. Ideally yes but if they are driving around constantly with piss running down leg and not turning the radars on that works too. SEAD vs DEAD. Either way it opens up opportunities for other systems to start doing work on unprotected grunts.
  18. Agree with you however I'm not sure losing Kherson is when you make that play. Similar to Severodonetsk for the Ukrainians, this looks like bad fight for the Russians. It's the furthest theater from home (and closest for the enemy), vulnerable supply lines, semi encircled, strong enemy air defense over the battlefield, etc. If I was the Russians, I would save the last ditch counter attack for the Donbass. Grated, as a genius once said, "we are lucky the Russians are so stupid."
  19. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we have seen evidence of Russia AD being able to intercept GMLRS? If they could they would have used them to protect the bridges and larger ammo depots that have been hit repeatedly. My guess is the HARMs are being used in conjunction with TB-2s and other larger UAVs. Or generally hitting targets of opportunity to keep the Russians moving and radars turned off.
  20. They still have a fuck ton of Mi-8's and Mi-26's. Not sure how far Ukraine's SAMs can cover into the area. Obviously they can't support the whole group of Russians on the west side but could make a dent.
  21. It's not the bad idea. I've seen talk about using the A-10 or others as a munitions trucks lugging large amounts of longer range ordinance to fire well behind the front line while using smaller, stealthy drones over the contested space sending back targeting info
