  1. Following this post, went to do a quick read about our Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša. He has been involved in as many wild ass good, bad, shady, surly things as you would expect from a longtime Eastern European leader. But he does have the nickname: Marshal Twitto
  2. And almost a bullseye
  3. Hopefully Poland decides having it's veto buddy isn't worth the risk.
  4. To add, only ~28.5% of their GDP is based on exports. Granted purely internal production is going to get hurt as well with lack of access to key components but they can still sell a lot of vodka and shirts with a letter they don't even have in their language to each other.
  5. You have more patience than than I do. After sitting there and not interrupting their moronic dribble for 40 minutes, then continued to get interrupted making points similar to the above, and finally getting a repeat lesson of RT talking points now including Germany is much older state than 1871. I left and went to Whataburger, no regrets.
  6. lol, ok, dude. It's football.
  7. 99 Trinity and 3rd and Colorado have already gone through a marketing process and have Buyers signed up. I believe they are just waiting on final approval from Bankruptcy court. CARR Properties for 99 Trinity (also bought 100 Congress last year) Related for 3rd and Colorado
  8. The Russians are down to using captured panthers now? They double fucked, those transmissions can't handle shit.
  9. We will see. Cleveland has won the offseason several times in recent years and are still shit. It doesn’t change the fact that once Cleveland offered $230M guaranteed there was literally nothing more the Texans could do, DW wasn’t going anywhere else.
  10. They are one and the same
  11. It’s clear you don’t understand how the no trade clause works. He has to waive it for a deal to be made and he was never going anywhere else when Cleveland decided to pay him $230M guaranteed. Kyle Pitts was never on the table from Atlanta either. We will see how it works for Cleveland… they are still Cleveland and the last time DW balled out his team went 4-12. Those could turn into some very early 1st round picks.
  12. Lol, the dude violated 22 women. In this situation DW is the issue, not the Texans. There is so much you can bitch about when it comes to the Texans, and most of the time it’s totally justified, this isn’t one of those items. Again, one one time before has a player ever garnered 3 first round draft picks… and we got that for a player with lots of strings attached.
  13. Only the 2nd time in NFL history a team has received 3 1st round picks in a trade…. For a guy still facing 22 civil suits, a NTC, and an almost assured NFL suspension of some sort… I think the Texans faired pretty well. Hard to convince DW to go elsewhere if the Browns are dumb enough to give him the most guaranteed money in NFL history, $230M…. God damn.
  14. Like how they just built a new church for the army white floors constructed of melted down panzers. And no, I'm not making this up.
  15. I'd pay 9.95 for some old shows right now if I knew where they were
  16. And he gets to tell all his drones at home that he single-handedly beat the west and is making them world champs.
  17. Shit, just buy a fuck ton more TB-2s and let Turkey fly them right to the border.
  18. And playing/defending home field.
  19. Posted this many pages ago by now, but apparently the FSB conducted a survey last month to guage Ukrainian morale/mindset. Gives a pretty good idea, if true, why they made the assumptions they did. They should have prepared for the worst case regardless, but confirmation bias is an evil bitch.
  20. 152mm arty shell is a hell of a lot cheaper than a bomber sortie, cruise missile or SRBM.
  21. I know the video showed the MLRS hitting it but I'm dubious of that claim. I think the Russians got curious at night, came in for a closer look and hit a mine.
  22. I think there is something to be said for the wake up call the UAF got in 2014. Nothing makes you work harder than getting your ass handed to you and knowing you are on the clock until they come back. Hopefully, we don't have to find out in a few years if the Russians learned from their mistakes in this war because Putin is sitting on the defense stand in The Hague.
  23. Fair points, and agree that the focus will have to be Kyiv or the UAF in the Dombas, the Russians can't execute on both simultaneously. I think we all agree the focus is Kyiv. IMO the questions then become, if they can seize Kyiv (and I am no way convinced they can) how long does it take, what are the casualties, and how much do they have to leave behind as an occupying force? Do they have the reserves and capability to get them into the field (also highly questionable) to be able to make a second big operational push? I agree with you and have my doubts. My concern is how dug in the UAF is in the Donbas and if they are under air attack and artillery shelling this whole time, will they have the forces to hold off an encirclement if it comes to that point. I hope we never have to find out. Map I think we agree this map overstates the Russian position, but the Ukrainian Army is somewhat on an island, and the push for the Russians isn't overly far into Ukrainian territory to pull of an encirclement of troops there. Again, hope I am acting like tuttle tom fucking this whole line of thinking up.
  24. I absolutely believe all that, the two downsides compared to Afghanistan off the top of my head are obviously the terrain & lack of heavy transportation infrastructure in was a huge benefit to the mujahideen. Secondly the advancement of technology to track and surveil people/ISR, granted that advantage works both ways.
