    There was some discussion about this early on. But yeah, I thought they would not use trains. Well here is to the Ukrainians blowing them up. 

     

     

    I don’t think it was their first choice really, at least not at first. That would be something you could pull after you secure some territory and have forward offensive positions conducting sieges- not when you still don’t have low level air superiority. Its an either real stupid or real desperate move imho…

    We all say shit on the internet like this, but this isn’t the internet. Its the fucking UN and he’s saying some real shit, not something outlandish for effect. The fact he woundnt mention Hitlers actual name out of respect for the floor makes his remark even more pointed.

    Fucking big time words.

     I still like your posts. Never mind the reverse bigotry you’re rocking but whatever. I consider this site like my family so perhaps I overshare but IDGAF.  Covid and a shitty marriage nearly crushed me so if I enjoy this space it’s my deal. 
     

    outside of that I feel like the vast majority of my posts on this thread have been good ones and on point. Have yours? or are  you so pathetically resigned to your petty hatred of me you’d rather miss out on being my friend? Your choice.

     

    ukranian drone just took out a Russian system cool according to BBC.
     

     



    You don’t need to explain yourself. People can think whatever they want for whatever reason they want, man. 

    What matters in this life is what you do, not what you say. You do you and people will come around or fuck off.

    That's nuts. 


    Yep, it’s not fair.

    Didnt mean to tangent off topic and thanks for bringing me back to the point. My dad was on the City zoning committee for our town while I was growing up for years. From a lot of stories I’ve heard from him, the county can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want because issues like this will just go to county court who will side with the city. Then, debtors rarely have the ability to appeal to a court that cares. 

    In this case the county just acted like they had the title when they didn’t. Then when somebody cried foul they were like “fuck you, you debtor.” It’s a scam and the people without money to fight it get fucked. 

    This issue has to do with money of course, but really more centrally what cases like this have to do with power and legitimate authority.  It’s fucked, but just the fact she was a debtor is a huge mark on her back for the city to fuck her.

    I think Putin fundamentally misunderstood shock & awe then.  The goals are not to put on a parade display for the media and/or general public. It’s designed to be a coordinated and overwhelming crush on military capability that paralyzes military and gov’t leadership. You take so many pieces off the board all at once that you destroy every level of response that their defense can muster.  In Iraq we put a missile in every AA system, comms unit, ammo dump, emplaced armor, and plane on the ground, almost simultaneously. You saturate their leadership in information and force paralysis through analysis so they are incapable of responding in any coordinated way. We didn’t roll armor into Baghdad in 2 days, but they arrived largely intact because there was no coordinated capability to stop them or reduce their fighting capability. To summarize in gif form:

    Exactly. 
     

    The parade adjatiave is pretty apt here.
     

    Shock and awe is supposed to be like some apocalyptic alien attack movie where people don’t even know what the fuck happened. “Are we at war??? is an asteroid hitting the earth?? wtf?!?!” 

    the reality was that Poo could only show numbers since those numbers practically mean nothing.

    Mom: Alyosha, why is it taking so long to answer, are you on trainings?

    A:  Mom, I am in Crimea, not on training.

    M: And where? Dad wants to know if we can send you a package.

    A: What are you talking about, a package, mom.  I just want the hell out of here, its all upside down.

    M: Why are you talking like that? What happened?

    A: Mom, I am in Ukraine. There is a real war here.  I am scared, we've last all order.....They told us that they will greet us but they're throwing themselves under our machines, we can't go.  They call us fascists. Mom, I am in a seriously bad way . . .


    Ugh… 

    that’s not a call I fucking ever want to receive

    It's really odd that the Russian oil pipelines going through Ukraine are still flowing. Russian and Ukrainian personnel required to work together to maintain its flow...

    That’s a good measure of how total this war is at the moment. When/if they blow that pipeline, shit will already be proper fucked.

    Count me in as assuming this is standard operating protocol. If you get shit taken away from you to cover a debt, you don't get to keep the profit if they opt to sell said shit. It's no longer yours.

    Exactly.

    Property forfeiture to a bank sucks, but it really, really sucks when its to the state. Lots of ragey stories out there and we aren’t even touching  eminent domain.

    Peoples lives are fairly complicated so it’s difficult for one person to criticize the payment habits or debt situation of another without lots of info, but basically my experience has taught me the best way to deal with this problem is to try really, really hard not to get in debt in the first place. Easy to say, not so easy to do depending on how crazy your life is. Some of the most responsible and money minded people I’ve ever known have found themselves in some unfortunate debt situations after divorces, death, or serious accidents.

    I believe that right after Japan’s surrender in WW2 there was a faction of the US military brass that wanted to nuke the soviets. I wonder what the world would look like today had they done that.


    Probably the same. The targets they wanted to nuke were only of posturing importance as the dust from WWII settled. If anything I would have weakened our position on the world stage. 

    That we could point to the fact we were unaware of the total cost of deploying those first nukes coupled with the unique attitude of our enemy saved our credibility and allowed us to assume the role we’ve maintained for 80 yrs

    Russia seems to be suffering far higher casualties than the Ukrainians and really hasn’t gained control over anything worth a shit yet. This feels like one of those moves in Risk where you march 15 armies into a territory with just a couple of defenders left and then roll all 2s and 1s four times in a row. 

    And obligatory:
