There is zero chance he tests NATO.
Right? I mean, just add up the numbers.
The 13 Colonies vs the British Empire.
North Vietnam vs the USA.
Afghanistan vs. the USSR
The Russian Empire vs. the Japanese Empire.
Weaker powers never fight larger ones. Because if they just add up the numbers, they'd realize they're doomed. And there's no point in trying.
Look at Imperial Japan...they realized they couldn't win a war against the US... that's why they didn't bother bombing Pearl Harbor...

Why does every post you make go against American interests? It is a brutal world, you seem not to understand that. Ask the Israelis. If you are an American citizen you are either a coward or a liar.
Look at All Pro's posting history in this thread. It's a bizarre mix of leftist "anti-imperialism" and isolationist declinism.
He thinks America is an Empire that deserves to fall because Empires are wrong, but that Russia and China are Empires that deserve to rise because de- dollarization is good and a weakened America is good.

Down the Drain: After Billions in U.S. Aid, Ukraine Army Chief Says Tactical Retreat Underway
https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/04/30/ukraine-army-chief-says-tactical-retreat-underway-n2395707
Yuuuuuuuppp.
In spite of the fact that Syrsky was torn down as a mindless butcher of the Soviet School... he's proven much more pragmatic than Zaluzhny. And far less profligate with the lives of his men.
So he gets to trade space for time until his logistics backlog works itself out.
Whatever strategy he works out after that though...maybe he shouldn't telegraph a grand counter attack for months?
Maybe he should take a page from Mikhail Teplinsky's book, and make Russia flog itself against Ukrainian defenses...that are properly supplied with artillery ammunition and air defenses for the first time in forever.

It’s a politically poor example of making a hard decision; who advises these people? Self inflicted wound, and a CLM (career limiting move).
She might want to check and see if she's hired anyone from DeSantis 2024.
I get it, this is supposed to be one of those "Mama Grizzly", "Real America vs. Fake America" messaging moments.
She ***** it up royally. And since Puppet Vivek has conveniently disappeared after performing his mission of helping kneecap DeSantis, JD Vance is the real winner in this situation.

I wouldn't be shocked if Beane goes IOL here. Unless this class is historically weak, the best Cs and Gs in the draft are still on the board.

the same way it seems to be going right now. it's been two years and no end in sight. ukraine has had about 400k casualties from the war in two years. look, we all agree russia shouldn't have invaded them but they did. now you have to make a choice of what's best for the future of ukraine. do you negoitate a peace deal where russia keeps part of ukraine so the rebuilding of the country can begin? or just keep throwing good money into the country and 2-5 years from now they lose most of their population who are of age to work and have families and so on?
it would be a cool story if ukraine managed to beat russia but reality is starting to hit home and it seems the odds of that are getting slimmer by the month. we thought taking the oligarchs money would work, we thought putin was dying, we thought the people of russia would revolt, russia would run out of money etc. none of which has worked. it's just an endless war at this point.
If Ukraine loses, it will be because somehow Ukraine was outproduced, even though it's supported by a block comprising about 50% of the human race's total economic production.
If Ukraine loses, it will be because we and our allies are exactly as weak as BRICS and the rest of the Russo-Chinese block think we are.
I don't want the bad old days to come back, and our grandfathers didn't rebuild the world for our benefit for us to piss it all away.

Uniparty?
On the one hand i agree, the political class is largely in it for themselves and they always make sure to benefit from their position.
On the other hand...~75% support is hard to deny. Or should the USA be ruled by 25%?
"Uniparty" seems to mean "the adults in the room who are interested in governing and compromise".

"American Regime"?
Ah yes, another foreigner/NPC/bot whose opinion about my country I can safely ignore.

Russia's done it twice, under both Obama and Biden
Ukraine is paying the price for Obama's spinelessness in Syria (I remember Putin rolling tanks ove Obama's red lines). Ditto Crimea.
You can't blame Russia for thinking Obama's VP would act in the same fashion, especially given how fractious our domestic politics are right now.
The only reason why Ukraine still exists is because Russia thought this would be Crimea, Part II and planned accordingly.

No, didn't forget at all. It was a war that wouldn't have happened under Trump.
Trump Derangement Syndrome. When Trump is to blame for everything.
Trump Derangement Syndrome. When everything good happens because of Trump.
It's easy to determine which of these delusions is most comfortable to you.

Tesla recalls Cybertruck over 'trapped pedal' issue seen in owner's viral TikTok video
“Tesla has issued a voluntary recall of 3,878 Cybertrucks to fix a "stuck pedal" issue that had been depicted in a viral TikTok video posted last week by owner Jose Martinez.“
Could you imagine paying six figures for a Pinto?

Wow. I was wondering why it was a short term discussion with BB. Plus,all the controversy over the documentary, no class. As always.
For what it's worth, the Pats proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that being classy has zero correlation to winning Superbowls.

So trimming back all the hyperbole from the perpetual outrage machine...
Iran sent over 300 drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles at Israel.
Israeli air defenses, supported by the US, UK and France, shot down 99% of them.
The results are, some minimal damage to an IDF base, and a little girl in critical condition.
... I'm sure Israel is quaking in their boots right now Iran, you really showed them!

One day, Oh Happy Day, there will be a 100+ page thread on this forum that doesn't wallow in past losses.
But hey, let's keep rehashing and reliving stuff. That's healthy.

Florida potentially in play now:
Florida Supreme Court allows recreational marijuana, abortion amendments on 2024 ballot
I wonder if the Dems start putting real money into the state given how these referendums have been going lately. Should be a natural bump in turnout on the left.
I wouldn't trust the Florida Democratic Party to poor piss out of a boot.
DeSanctimonious uses them as a speed bag, and he's one of the worst political strategists around.

The government giving people money for doing nothing is socialism. Social security is a form of socialism, it's in the title. I am 100% against all socialism. Handing illegal immigrants debit cards and paying for their hotels is the absolute epitome of socialism. You should get out of life what you put into it.
You only qualify for Title 2 benefits if you have worked and paid taxes for at least ten years. This is called being "insured". Or are married to someone that has.
People can and do stop paying social security taxes. Usually folks who work under the table, contractors, some union jobs, and railroad workers.
There are stupid, lazy people who think social security is an unconditional entitlement payout, aka socialism. They also tend to be shocked when they call in and find out they are not "insured" because they have not paid enough into the system. Or because they've paid nothing in at all.

Sheep to the TV, is like Greek to the cave wall
Is there any reason why you posts tweets about Reuters articles, instead of actual Reuters articles?
Curious to know why what some NPC says about the news is more important than the actual news.

You keep saying ISIS is a mercenary group. What's the proof?

So the battle for Belgorod continues. Supposedly some of the Freedom of Russia separatists are former Wagner. Maybe they'll recruit more.
Russia is getting thumped but they'll like push back the separatists due to their size/equipment. There are more circus type clips of the inept Russian army being posted. Going in to breach a building but blowing themselves up with a grenade first. Not sure how Putin hasn't died from embarrassment.
Still very little coverage by larger media outlets.
Russia's main supply routes probably run much further east sadly. Ukraine punches into Belgorod oblast fairly regularly, and while they are brutal, callous and inefficient, Russia isn't stupid anymore. Well, they're much less stupid than they were.
Nobody's getting much more than 6-8 weeks of training before they get deployed in this war. The average standard of infantry skill isn't gonna be great. But that's what happens in conventional wars, the world had just forgotten becaus of Europe's Long Peace, and because the Greatest Generation has died off.

The biggest cities without a team are San Antonio, Phoenix, San Diego and San Jose.
So does anybody know a saint that wants a football team?

There's no tweets or cleavage though, and it's very, very NSFW. You've been warned.

You can tell the "Astroturf" is pretty much plastic carpeting over a slab of concrete.
Back when the treatment for a concussion was a pack of camels and some smelling salts.
