  1. That shockwave is going to be insane. Growing season is just about to start.
  2. Exactly. It used to be where media doesn't print a story until they can confirm it. Now everyone wants to break the story. But even if they are wrong they just put the redaction on page 8. But in that mean time everyone already has their mindset that what they said was true.
  3. Yep. I was out at steak night with a group. 4-5 ex military. But various backgrounds. I was kind of appalled at some of the thinking. A few of them are convinced this is a Biden conspiracy and Putin is the victim. It's just weird all around and there was no changing their thought.
  4. And that's the thing. War is hell. I talk to my marine friends and they will readily admit they did some really fucked up shit in Iraq and Afghanistan. Like really bad stuff war crime type stuff. They aren't proud of it now but they said man we were taught that those people were sub human.
  5. I keep thinking this. The moderators are cunts. Move the thread and it kills it. They don't have anything good to add so STFU
  6. Half of America doesn't even know where Ukraine is. We all tend to believe we give a shit but just wait for the next news story to dominate the headline. And for as much as we want to believe everything. The news is being awfully vague about what is happening
  7. The length of this invasion solely depends on how long Putin is alive. I don't believe anyone in his inner circle thinks this is a good idea but him. He dies. The war dies
  8. So my brother works for an alphabet soup agency and he won't ever go into details but he said the scariest thing about Russia right now is we don't know a fucking thing about Russia. Everything we thought to be true is wrong. So that makes them even scarier.
  9. We don't need light sweet crude. For the most part we are using "opportunity" crude which is just another name for the heavy sour stuff. It's cheaper and we've adapted to it. It is a pipe killer and that's some of the shit we've learned. I was part of an inspection team in Garyville LA and we wrote a white paper on T9 after our findings because the nerds claimed that it was indestructible but sulfidation wasn't accounted for. The sour gas is heavy as shit on sulfur content but the industry doesn't want to admit they were wrong. I think the problem is we view Ukraine as this great country but it honestly was a piece of shit and corrupt as hell. We didn't try to build bigger bombs we started to build one big ass warhead that can strike several targets. MiRVs are great because we know if I can get one missile into orbit then I can crash 8 different targets. SALT and START kinda forced is into that mindset. For example an SSBN has 24 missiles. But it actually has 120 if you count how many targets it can hit. Each missile can split. That's the danger
  10. One thing I have learned is no one knows how a nuclear reactor works and how a nuclear weapon works. We hear the word nuclear and we all lose our fucking minds
  11. Ukraine would have given up by now. It's death or not.
  12. Holy shit. That is everything. We as humans are flawed people and we build systems because we know our flaws. But we let the checks and balances decay over time because we see it as overbearing because we haven't seen firsthand what happens if we don't. So you have someone keep overstepping that boundary. I was on the phone with my new boss last night and he asked what my expectations were and I told him there is stuff written on paper to protect the workers but how much of it is actually true. You let a middle manager get out of control and it stinks everything up. The UN being the boss is not supposed to let stuff like Russia and Ukraine get to that point but the UN chose to ignore it so middle manager (Russia) says well fuck if no one is doing anything it means I'm right.
  13. The problem is we proved that with Ukraine the only way to not get invaded is by getting nuclear weapons. All those rich ass shiekdoms are going hard after it now. The only reasons the Saudis don't have it is because we told them we wouldn't protect them if they do. Now that we see that means a whole bunch of bullshit. They will definitely get one. Taiwan already has one but no one wants to talk about it.
  14. Yeah a good friend told me about Eritrea vs Ethiopia. He said I'm pretty sure I was fighting a Russian mig flown by a Russian.
  15. It's white Europeans. The effect is different.
  16. Yeah I don't understand when people say we aren't fighting Russia. We essentially are doing everything but. It's like giving your neighbor all your stuff to fight the neighbor and sit in your lawn and say I'm not involved
  17. And there is probably a marine MEU on the Hot Carl. Or is it Truman. Plus if the Turks allow we have a huge air base there
  18. Roughly 25k ready fighting unit. We have what we call 24 anywhere. Where we can deploy 10k in under 24 hours plus the Poles are geared up itching to fight
  19. Bro your insight is good. I'm about to get banned because Nicole didn't cc me on her nudes to Zelensky and immac is a cunt
  20. So in lot with the world. I just took down a poker room. Accepted a job at Amazon. Like I'm basically sucking my own dick right now
  21. Raytheon executives are like bro 100 more javelins and I can buy this bitch out right
  22. The SA20s and s400 systems can. Ukranian arms are Russian 20 years behind. I'm not sure about our standoff AA that we sold them but I'm sure they can take them down. Heavy bombers are slow as fuck our B52s go in with tons of radar jamming and absolutely air superiority
  23. Ha. You lie like dog in mud
  24. I'm not an IT nerd but I think the big problem is access. Everyone wants it. With the military the general says you know I think I need access to that. IT guy says but why. BGeneral says because I'm the fucking general. Then his little dog robbers demand the same thing. It's not different with NERC. And you're absolutely right about the top down issue. It's kind of like the sanctions thing. We are like we will have this crazy sanction structure but and then there is 100 pages of loop holes.
  25. It's really hard to freeze 600 billion dollars.
