  1. Edmunds does exactly was is being asked of him in this defense, even thou it does not show up on the stats sheet. I always thought he was better suited to play on the outside, but it is what it is now.
  2. Don’t screw up 13 seconds, advance to the Super Bowl and win it! We are built to compete with anyone and hoist the Lombardi.
  3. How do you revive someone that never panned out? Maybe Kromer can help Ford improve some, but I have my doubts. The man just isn’t good at all.
  4. Ratings tell the true story- and Tuckers are pretty good. If folks don’t wanna watch, then do not. If you want to watch, then watch. CNN and MSNBC are finding out more and more people are choosing not to watch their line up. That is America 🇺🇸
  5. Did you watch, sitting there in the corner? Asking for a friend.
  6. Harriers have been on Yuma for a long time. They have been phased out with the F-35s. You may have been out at Yuma Proving Grounds and not at the air station. Regardless, nice to meet ya!
  7. Were a small bunch. We only had 7 deployable squadrons on 2 bases - Yuma and Cherry Point NC. If you met up in Kadena, then a MEU must have been there. I did a year on the rock. What jet did you fly?
  8. You are welcome. Well Putin is a misinformation deceptive guy. Your guess is as good as mine. One thing is certain: Every political move or military move is accompanied with a disinformation element. That is the USSR playbook as you know. Hindsight will be intersting on this one.
  9. Yes, 21 years in the Corps- Avionics on the harrier. Thanks for your service. The Ghost could be bs, but there have been many reports of stinger effectiveness. A typical SAM would be needed for higher elevation attack jets and bombers. A larger portion of Russian strikes have been at a low ceiling, and in some instances on a dive for placement. Russians have some other disadvantages as well. They dont use GPS guided munitions and they cannot all be on GPS time together and therefore cannot use havequick technology (frequency hopping in time). All that said, we too did air excercises that had Russian tactics involved. The intelligence and information used suggested that our avionics/weapons systems and pilot skill coupled with our arsenal of aircraft was far superior. Thanks again for your service 😊 US pilots/air power/systems are superior to the Russians. That is not to say they are “rag tag” or Tunisians flying old fighters but I lived this world for 21 years. We still have air superiority in the world.
  10. Sidebar: Russian units have mobile crematorium’s. Makes you wonder why? But I will leave that right here 🤔
  11. I am not sure either, but I sense there was never a “full buy in” from the masses which may have filtered down to the troops. Also, I think the average Russian citizen/service member, are having a difficult time invaiding a country closely aligned to their culture. Not a great recipe when you have now kicked a bunch of bee hives.
  12. His helo’s and jets have been getting shot out of the sky by stingers. Simply put, it appears US technology > Russian technology. Putin has to think long and hard about how many assets he wants to potentially give up. Additionally, the pilots seem ill-trained. A few reports have 1 Ukrainian fighter pilot knocking down 6 Russian fighters. In short, Russia has a lot of nukes. After that, good missile capabilities and a fairly well equipped navy. Problem is, their economy is too weak for the continued funding, maintenance, and training to keep the war machine “well oiled”.
  13. I didn’t say it will happen, but that is why and what he he is thinking. Putin has always been enamored by forming the old USSR block.
  14. Vlad and the Oligarchs believe Ukraine is part of “Mother Russia”. Ukraine provides a land route for oil and natural gas to Eastern Europe. Ukraine has a lot of natural resources. Ukraine can be used as a staging ground to retake the rest of the former USSR. Ukraine has a sea port that can place the Russian Navy with a direct shot to northern and Western Europe.
  15. Spot on! Bottom line, this didn’t have to happen. Now, many will suffer because of poor policy and corruption.
