No pity. If they don’t go, that means some one else has to do it. It’s the ultimate in selfishness.

This is not Viet Nam. They are being invaded. If they don’t believe in their country they should give up their citizenship.

At the point, pretty much all of the Black Sea Fleet is “submarines”.

I think it’s important to understand that, no matter how big these numbers get, Russia will not stop. Putin will sacrifice every man, woman, and child in both counties to maintain his fantasy of “winning” this war. The only thing that will stop him will be the inability to continue.

Yeah, that’s the official name, but I’ll stick to the APC designation. It carries troops. It’s armored. It does not have a tank-level main gun. It’s an armored personnel carrier. A good one, but an APC, none the less.

For anyone who doesn’t get the significance, these crazy cats took out a modern main battle tank with an armored personnel carrier. That’s like if the Bismark was sunk by the Titanic.

As an ethnic Pole, I feel like it’s important for me to call this a jerk move. Like the ukrainians have it too easy?

That does not look like it’ll pop right out with a little bondo.

The Iron Curtain has been rebuilt. This time, from the outside

That’s so 7 years ago.

I mean, yeah?

Its especially innocuous if you choose the pronoun on the character screen that you’re are used to using. Or just leave it at default, which is cis gendered. You have to really go out of your way to make this weird.

But Ukraine has its own challenges. Not only is its industrial sector being regularly bombed, but it has to depend upon the West not losing interest. It’s a race to see which happens first: Russian collapse or Western disengagement.

I doubt it’ll turn S. Dakota purple.

I wonder how keeps up with his workout routine in the field.

I hope these guys all live to watch the movie that will one day be made about this mission. Because it reads like a Hollywood script

There might be complications from sending drones through allied airspace.

Neither of those words really need to be in quotes.

Amazing the amount of grief you get for wanting the same thing everyone else does but not being willing to believe every single report that you’re finally going to get it.

Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.

Not a fan of the a republican party or their anti-abortion agenda, but I gotta agree that a constitutional amendment should require more than a bare majority. How else can the rights of the minority be protected?
