  1. Just looked at Washington’s schedule… they’re 3-6 with a lop sided win over K-State, got crushed by coastal Carolina… 4 game sweep at the hands of Stanford.
  2. The makeup situation alone is proof that he can’t hear criticism. It’s mind bottling
  3. It’s well past time for European nations to start matching norks 1:1. What is France waiting for?
  4. I wonder if this explains how Ukraine has seemingly turned the tide around pokrovsk, a city that looked doomed 6 months ago. They’re suddenly starting to push Russia back
  5. Russia pushed incredibly hard last year working under the assumption that Trump would win and give them a favorable settlement. So far it’s going according to their plan…
  6. This chart, more than shells, explains why it’s now a 2:1 artillery advantage for Russia. Ukraine has destroyed as many artillery pieces (23,626) as Russia started the war with and had in reserve (23,780). Holy shit.
  7. Cross posting from DT because this thread needs some positive vibes
  8. Perhaps this timeline just has a twisted sense of humor. Have some faith in the Ukrainian people. They weren’t supposed to last 2 weeks. These are clever mother fuckers with their backs against a wall.
  9. 1. This wasn’t as clear cut in 2022 as you suggest. Surprisingly, I can’t even find a power index today where China is better than tied with Russia. Hopefully we never have to find out. 2. Agreed that it’s easy to second guess conservative decisions. 3. Yup, getting absolutely worked while very slowly taking fields and tree lines and rubble. 4. Completely agreed that russias nukes are most valuable for them as a threat. They haven’t dedicated nearly enough resources to maintain them so only some are still functional. Lobbing a nuke you’re not convinced actually works is like pulling a gun on someone you know is armed when you’re not sure yours is loaded. 5. Not true? Kinzhals are used regularly after they’ve saturated air defenses with shaheds. They’ve also used an oreshnik and probably others. They have had several ballistic missile failures. interesting thought experiment. If the US more aggressive, does Wagner get obliterated before their failed coup? Does the Russian public galvanize behind Putin and fully mobilize? The way this played out prior to 2025 was extremely demoralizing for Russians.
  10. How long is a generation in your mind?
  11. The second best military in the world has depleted the massive Soviet stockpile it inherited to the point that its troops are riding scooters into battle and using donkeys to transport artillery shells. Its navy was defeated by a country that doesn’t have a navy. They will never have air dominance. Every day, they lose more refining capacity and their economy gets closer to collapse. What exactly do you think Biden should have done with such limited congressional support?
  12. Maybe he’s manually adding that British diver that saved those kids so Musk called him a pedo and got sued for defamation? You know, because musk didn’t get to use a submersible robot or whatever and be the hero.
  13. They’d clearly been saving up. 110 “go off radar” … is that a nice way of saying they landed in Ukraine, probably near their targets?
  14. Based on your post history regarding Ukraine, which was either ignorant or Russian talking points in early 2022, and largely silent on the subject until very recently, it’s obvious you’re out of your element here. You've made that same tired uKrAiNe sHoULdA kEpT tHeiR nUKeS post like 5 times. You’re so “neutral” on this subject that you’ve claimed you hold no contempt for the people of Ukraine, but then you blame NATO for Russia’s genocidal actions. Putin desperately needs people like you to continue to support him in US politics because he’s lost this war unless the US turns on Ukraine.
  15. Maybe he benefited from the large zone but he was making it look easy prior to Galvan’s E2
  16. You mean the largest country on the planet didn’t invade Ukraine PURELY for more territory? They did it for many other reasons, none of which actually justify their actions at all? Fuck RFK
  17. Ignorant. They had little say (feels familiar!) and those particular nukes would have been no use against Russia.
  18. I also think, based on my own newly found intense feelings toward musk, he’d better be prepared for what he’s created for himself. There are suddenly a lot of people that passionately want him out of power.
  19. It’s truly pathetic because we actually ARE in position to tell Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine or accept losing every asset in pre-14 Ukrainian borders while Ukraine focuses on attacks deep into Russia. This would cost us, what, maybe $100B? If we gave Ukraine guarantees like this, I think they’d be happy to send us a similar value in raw resources. We have zero leg to stand on, practically or morally, telling Ukraine to forfeit the future its fought so bravely for, in exchange for no future guarantee. once again, fuck Trump and this horribly predictable outcome.
  20. Jokes aside, just win. Our pitching has been really solid and consistent. Our mostly new lineup is unsurprisingly inconsistent. Get the sweep tomorrow and try to do it emphatically in the slightly better weather
  21. BACK TO BACK DOMINANT VICTORIES
  22. Where? In the bullpen? Last week?
  23. 7 pitches, 1 strike… get out Mercer
  24. Yeah, seems really intent to push guys until they give up runs rather than let them gain confidence from short but super clean outings.
