  1. Again, the unified command and control emphasis of NATO/Western forces is proving SO important compared to the Russian mess. Even with unified FSB command, they have very little experience with theater and multiple front commands, and the military under their control wants to see the FSB fail at leadership.
  2. Who, was actually, an actress.
  3. But.... only the very best elementary school level. They don't want you to know that! Tremendous reading.
  4. With a delicious hamberber.
  5. Historically, Ukraine has done the heavy lifting of Russian/Soviet intellect and innovation since the Bolshevik Revolution... It's no surprise they're much more creative and resourceful at tech developments in defence.
  6. I’m oddly (and pleasantly) surprised that a military culture who watched the western bloc emphasize mobile, nimble war-making for 70 years is waging war in the opposite manner. The Russian military have reinforced their military even deeper into a top-down, rather inefficient hierarchy even while watching the remarkable success of maneuver warfare demonstrated by Desert Storm. They’ve had plenty of time, resources, and motivation to become more effective, but have not. in particular, there seems to be zero emphasis from the Russians on the principles of surprise, morale, flexibility, sustainability, multi-level command cooperation or empowerment to make small group decisions. As a point of discussion, how does the Russian societal and leadership culture keep the Russian military from evolving? -How much is it affected by the culture of corruption? (I saw my predecessors game the system for personal gain, now it’s MY turn) -Is there truly a technological use/development divide? -are their nuclear forces as screwed up as their conventional military?
  7. Or a raging, insecure, non-thinking, misogynistic, racist, asshole.
  8. Serious political squirmy happiness in my pants right now.....
  9. well, the suckers and mullet are the idiot fish that feed him. Crappie might be the best fish to describe him. Too bad not croaker (yet)
  10. well, not sure about prevailing winds, but even a low-radiation bomb in parts of Ukraine or Kursk is really close to a spread to Moscow.
  11. “As long as there is food on the table and soldiers don’t steal my daughters, why should I care who is in charge?”
  12. Ugly ass fat chin on that thing. And on the F-32 as well.
  13. Or China to regain Outer Manchuria since losing it to the Tsar.
  14. maybe its just miserably hot and humid, and they just don't want to be out in that. LOL
  15. Same. 1992 is bumped to second now.
  16. Which one of you is this? That is a Surly-brag if there ever was one.
  17. into her festering, seeping, fungus-encrusted nether regions?
