  1. The problem with old military bases and old anything we have there is there is some nasty shit under there. In the US they would be super fund sites
  2. Yeah. I made that post about refugees at the beginning. It starts that way as good will. And then resentment builds up. Then funding goes away and then the clashes. Maybe two European countries may make it easier since they look similar. But yeah the longer the refugees are there the worst it will get. Inevitably something pops off and there is a schism between the host and the guest
  3. Ellington has been rolling for a month now. Flyover for Rodeo. And lots of navy and air force guys have "maintenance" issues right around Houston this time of year. 5 star hotel on govt dime and a chance for rodeo
  4. Strait of Hormuz. Narrow shipping lanes...small fast fishing boats. Loaded with missiles.
  5. How big do you think a drone is?
  6. A retired Marine general caused a lot of controversy several years back. The navy brought him in to do a red vs blue. He swarmed attack the carrier in the strait of Hormuz. Overwhelmed them prettt quick. They made him change tactics. He swarmed attacked them again from land. They made him change tactics again so he walked out and called bullshit. No one in the Navy thinks a carrier is sinkable until one sinks. And when that happens I hope they put the SecNAv and every single admiral on display at the Navy yard and have the President execute them.
  7. The easiest way to sink a carrier is in dry dock. It wasn't a real carrier but it still has planes and what not. But Bohomme Richard got sunk in port. Our last submarine also sunk in port. If a carrier gets sunk. It will be in port.
  8. Carriers are protected by the fleet. Drones are currently incredibly slow and let's say 1000 drones shot 1000 missiles at it. Yes it could definitely sink the carrier but there's also a MAD doctrine with carriers. 5000 dead Americans will send a response that would be so incredible. We would bomb them back to the stone ages. And then make them suffer.
  9. Yep. Not happening. Even if Russia walks out. China vetoes. Even China abstains. That leaves France, UK, US. 3 NATO countries. They abstain and non NATO countries say we will do it. Who is providing the planes. Who is providing the bases? Who is allowing air space.
  10. Yeah. The train nap of earth extensively. Iraqi armor described them as ghosts from the ground. The rose up from the horizon and unleashed hell.
  11. Fuck no. Not then and not now would our strategy to fight tanks have been to ferry troops quickly into the battlefield to fight armored columns. If you want an example of a fight of the Fulda Gap look at the battle during the Gulf war. Iraqi doctrine was based off Soviet Doctrine. Meet the other army in the open battle fields. Before the M1s could even show up Apaches and A-10s made short work of the entire Iraqi tank column. Mobile infantry would have gotten slaughtered.
  12. My mom described it has a buzzing sound and the first time they saw the bombs come down it looked like little light bulbs and it exploded everything around them. She was 9 or 10 years old at the time
  13. That was realized after the 91 Persian Gulf war. You simply don't have time to ship them anymore. It takes months to ship and get them in theater. Fighting Congress took a long time. A c17 can only bring one at a time. Ships take months. War would have ended by now.
  14. They can also do you taxes
  15. I swear some of y'all are really fucking obtuse when it comes to news. Tucker Carlson.might be a fucking idiot and a Russian mouth piece but he might not be wrong. You know why the Russians are so sure there are weapons in that lab? Because they put it there. Ukraine was a world class biological weapons research facility. They know what was there. Samples don't ever get destroyed because research just like we have some of the nastiest stuff in a lab in the world in Maryland.. just like wuhan. There are labs with stuff. Ukraine has a few. Did Xi know about the invasion? He had some sort of knowledge. A full invasion I doubt it. I don't know why y'all think Russia and China are such close allies. They have never been close and never will be. They actually hate each other. They are just allies of convenience. China rather see Putin fall and have a weak oligarch step in. Do you think the US really gives a shit about what.happens to the Ukrainians? They are just a pawn. They want to see Ukraine fight a long drawn out war. Just like Xi does. Both for the same reason. Because this gives a weak Russia. So when the next time.you say Fuck Xi. Maybe say Fuck USA. Because they both have the same agenda.
  16. Our supply of tactical nukes is actually pretty limited. We have a bunch of conventional weapons that make the tactical nuke obsolete.
  17. Like I said. My overall perspective is still. Putin needs to die and he needs to die fast. Everything else for me changes from information I get from people I know. My Alphabet soup brother is gone. My active military guys are gone. So the changing dynamics form and reform my opinions on what it going on. The best thing is to ask why. And then the other thing is to ask why they aren't doing it. I'm still in the opinion that Zelensky needs to bug the fuck out and go to Poland. Anyone asking about MIGs or no fly zones is just stupid. As far as nuclear reactor talks. The reactor are safe.
  18. That's wrong though. A bomber can't make some one in the ground shut the fuck up. It doesn't matter how useless they are they can still control the people on the ground. Me with an AK can make at least 10 people shut the fuck up and dig a hole for me.
  19. And that's why I was saying only in the American military is someone allowed to change that. I ran through some stupid shit and I was only a lowly e6. My CO who later ended up being a 2 Star asked me because he ended up running into me out in town. He said hey why is shit fucking up right now. I said sir if you want to know. Then I'm going to captains mast for telling the truth. He said nah man, no one knows what you are going to tell me. I said ok. So sir. You are an O6. You have 7 other guys on the OMFG you're competing with. When y'all are in this meeting and PAcSub asks if we can do this in 20 days. You say no and the other 6 guys says no. But 1 guy says yes. Then fuck all of a sudden. It can be done. So the next time PAcSub asks. Someone says it can be done in 15. Then all of a sudden it can be done in 10. Then stuff starts fucking up then you guys say I have no idea. He looked at me and said oh fuck. Oh fuck.
  20. There is no war in Ba Sing Sa
  21. But if Russia said we just wiped out 1000 Nazis and the Ukranians are cheering us. They want us to save their children in Kiev which is filled with more Nazis so we need your help. These Nazis are tenacious.
  22. And way over 100 pages ago we talked about this. The yes man theory. Uncle Vlad shot the guy who said it wouldn't work until the guy said it would
  23. Exactly. I've always been I'm a as my eyes see it from a neutral perspective. Then I say what about his eyes. Then the other guys eyes. So you get 3 different looks and 3 different opinions and you realize the other two is bullshit. No way a Russian boat moves that close. Unless it was spoofed by AWACS and we have P8s out there but also you must have a golden pellet to hit something. MLRs aren't accurate. Boats turn and run fast. If it was a top hit. That thing would sit on top and burn for a few hours. I didn't think about the mine theory but it makes sense
  24. You know. You are right. Just on this conversation I think about it. It doesn't need to be complex on the explanation why. But we always go back to Syria. We go back to Donbas. We go back to Crimea. Those places he used the shit out of his navy and air force. It's like playing poker. He represented two strong ass hands and bluffed his way through it against a weaker opponent. This time around he bluffed again and his opponent has called each way. He lost the first hand and he's stalling and thinking before he makes a move where he is absolutely pot committed. His army means nothing. He knows when he pulls out his last 1000 he's for real.
