  1. Except Biden isn't blameless, as has been posted, noticed, and commented on multiple times in this thread, and from both sides of the aisle. You're only upset because it's a Republican who's saying it in the linked article. I specifically didn't comment in the original post to try and forgo partisan sniping, alas you found a way regardless. Want to point out the isolationist streak in the GOP? Go whine here. Otherwise shut the fuck up and stop shitting on this thread.
  2. Bolton is a former NSA, diplomat, foreign service officer, and DOJ lawyer over six administrations. His opinion counts, regardless of your personal politics. Don't like it? Go cry in the cloakroom, don't derail here.
  3. The are plenty of Republican hawks that are willing to supply Ukraine and kill Russians. This is not the time or thread to be partisan imo.
  4. He's not wrong. Give the Ukrainians everything they need and stop micromanaging. The longer this plays out, the worse it is for Ukraine and the west.
  5. https://www.wsj.com/articles/blame-bidens-hesitancy-for-stalling-ukraines-offensive-nato-aid-weapons-military-war-fight-europe-national-security-a62d9899?reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
  6. He was a Youtube star when he was cast. Hasn't done much aside.
  7. He had a good part in Gattaca and Heat too.
  8. The score is phenomenal and the movie is a masterpiece.
  9. If this is city of Austin it might be worth it to talk to the prosecutor as they seem pretty lenient. I simply asked for a deferral, 6 months without another ticket and subsequent dismissal, paid the fine, with no defensive driving, and they agreed. This was in January. Might be worth a shot if he has time and doesn't want to do DD.
  10. Never heard of it 🙄 They are? They do? This is akin to a condescending yard sign.
  11. If it's been "unrolled" and there is a link in the comments.
  12. And cuts everything to the West and South. After destroying the Kerch bridge, they can let Crimea wither on the vine.
  13. BTW, the British East India company was the entity that sold opium to the Chinese. AFAIK the US had nothing to do with that, which makes the Chinese Fetanyl crisis even more evil.
  14. That's not a theory, it actually happened and busted by the FBI as Operation Dragon Fire. And now the Chinese are flooding the drug market with Fentanyl. They are truly Godless fucks. This Youtuber actually bought a bunch of satellite pics and counted all the visible storage tanks three months ago. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't as many as Russia claims. Even if they're paper shells, they have value. I would keep them or try to sell, don't dispose.
  15. And it's time to stop self-deterring. Like for like imo. You use cluster bombs, we use cluster bombs. Use ballistic missiles, we do too, etc.
  16. Moscow, St Petersburg, and Novgorod
  17. Ummm, No. PPSh > M1A Thompson = Yugo > Cadillac
  18. An alternative is to post unrolled twitter threads by threadreader. Longer twitter threads will have the links in the comments below said long threads.
  19. They didn't turn them down "flat", they went with converted tank chassis that better fit their predicted future urban battle needs. The Bradleys are great, combat proven, and near/at top of their class compared to similar Western platforms ie Warrior, CV90, Marder, etc.
  20. Why would I bother asking the Israelis? They never adopted or modified the Bradley.
  21. And some dress like a bow-tied Captain Kangaroo on acid. Regardless, your allyship has been noted. Seriously though, I think Zeihan is extremely competent and I celebrate the man's entire catalogue in spite of his terrible hair and questionable sartorial styling.
  22. The Bradley was a success and always was. As funny and entertaining as Pentagon Wars was, it was nothing more than an exercise in cynical post modern mental masturbation contrarianism. Lazer Pig, a youtuber who works in UK defense analysis, has a funny video about the Pentagon Wars book writer, James Burton. Start at 8:03:
