    highlander OK I guess, hell there's been a million of them anyway.  you will never recreate PTA, not even close.  in general remaking any John Hughes film is a recipe for disaster

     

    There can be only one IYAM

    You don't want to see a PTaA with the Rock and Kevin Hart? How about with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore? I am disappoint...

    Naval challenges are nothing new for the former Soviets, but the Ukraine War has introduced some added stressors in the Black Sea. Russia's inability to unify its naval presence across the four major seas in the region is a bad sign for Putin.

     

    Russia's vast swath of territory makes it a logistical nightmare to float a navy. Between the conflict in the Black Sea and the strategic loss of the Baltic Sea with Sweden and Finland joining NATO, Russia's logistical nightmare is only getting worse.

     

    With Russia's economy highly dependent upon maritime shipments, finding a solution should be a top priority; however, any naval projects diverting resources away from the Black Sea could be devastating.

     

    No matter what move the Russians make, limiting maritime power will have substantial economic impacts. Putin has once again backed himself into a corner, and I'm absolutely okay with that.

    I ran across an after -conflict study by the US military of tank encounters in the Korean War last night.   It was Russian supplied T– 34/85s versus Sherman M1A3 Easy 8s (and some Pershings with the 90 mm cannon).    This was five years post WWII, but using the same basic kit. 

    The trusty Sherman had a 2-1 kill advantage over the vaunted T-34….and the Pershings had a 10-1 advantage.    The best they make has never been as good as our stuff.
