UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
Coffeesforclosers replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well that sucks and I hope it's wrong. Because if it's right, we brilliantly executed a half-assed operational concept. -
The NFLPA Is Becoming A Sham Organization
Coffeesforclosers replied to BillsVet's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sounds like they're going through the same cycle of decline as the UAW. Once leadership sees themselves as partners with management, you're toast. -
That's AC Milan kit with the Pats logo glued on it. Very low effort.

U.S. - China agree on framework of trade deal
Coffeesforclosers replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"Our final deal is done, save final approval with President Xi and Me". " The USA and China have reached and agreement..." Those are some pretty terrible misspellings of "Ongoing Negotiation". -
What a gesture it would be if the President, or Elon Musk, took a rounding error on their net worths and paid for the parade themselves?

Here's the thing. Air Forces and drone swarms are great and all. However to sustain this war, Ukraine and Russia are operating conscription based recruiting regimes, feeding recruits into training programs with 4-12 week training cycles. They're sustaining the equivalent of 1-2 battalions per week KIA/WIA/MIA. Of course their are exceptions, like Azov or the VDV. How do the USMC or Army operate in an environment like this using the All-Volunteer model where every infantry recruit gets 16 weeks of just Basic. Nevermind specialist schools or AIT? How do you execute doctrine if your maneuver battalions depend on peacetime trained specialists, but are losing a squad or a platoon a day just sitting on the contact line?

I'll keep reiterating a point BMan made two-ish years ago. The war will continue so long as one side thinks it can win outright or thinks that any kind of fighting is better than the most likely peace deal. The game we're playing right now is the diplomatic equivalent of Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush telling the military to get this whole Iraqi insurgency sideshow wrapped up so we can move on to what's really important. Which is why the war goes on and on and every day we look more foolish and weak.

Great, now he and Vivek can start a club for ex-Whiz Kids.

It's like a Game Day Thread. If you read two pages of griping about Soft Zone! We're up by 10. Fire McDermott! We're up by 7. If you see 13 seconds references and Beane flak, the score is tied. Fire McBean, Soft Zone and 13 Seconds all at the same time? We're down by a score to a worse team before the half.
