    Ukraine has open and functioning air bases still up and running. Mainly in the Western part of the country. Not sure how many pilots they have.

    But while symbolic, Kyiv falling doesn’t mean that much. The Russians can put 20k of skilled soldiers with armor and air superiority into the battle. But how does that many men “ hold” a city of 3 Million? And, while they are traveling through other areas and cities to get there, once they leave to go to Kyiv, unless they leave thousands of troops behind they don’t control that territory anymore. And they don’t have men to leave behind. If we think of Ukraine as the size of Texas with 43M people, imagine trying to take and then hold Texas with 50k combat troops and 150k support troops. You could take Austin or DFW, but how can you hold it, manage your supplies, all the while taking casualties and having a population sniping at you around every corner. So taking it can be done at a cost, but then keeping it is even harder, or you pull out and give it back to go to a new objective.

    Military planners talk about a Tooth-to-tail radio, meaning how many support personnel are required to keep one front line fighter in the field. Tail or support are supply, intel, logistics, cooks, communications, military police, mechanics etc. These support personnel are soldiers too, but their primary role is not to be in combat, so if they are engaged in significant fighting then that is usually a problem and not good for that force. So if we say 50k front line combat troops are deployed they could need 3-5 (numbers can vary) support personnel to keep them supported and combat ready. So with 50k of deployed combat troops and 200k - 250k of total forces deployed (estimate), there is no great reserve force waiting to swoop in.

    He is sending Russian Chechen's who are part of the Russian army's Chechen units. He's not sending ISIS fighters, as they don't like or support Russia or Putin. They don't like US/Europe either, but ISIS/Islamic fighters certainly won't fight FOR Russia.

    Not only is it magnificent, but somehow one of my post/avatar is on the big TV. I am not sure if this feels more like Christmas morning, or that I won the lottery?

    I think you are forgetting that Russia invaded Poland along with the Germans/Nazi's. So only if Nato (in prior agreement with Russia) invaded Ukraine to take over the other half of Ukraine would the analogy fit. But the Croatian = Sudetenland and Ukraine = Poland - Nazi comparisons are reasonable.

    "If you convoy to a protest you're shitcanned and likely sued." Like that. But in reality they can do and go where they want. But not on company time or in company equipment.

    So is the mayor Pro or Con on the Shanties?

    I would change it to "But she's College Station Katy Karen before the decade is out." But either way is fantastic.

    I think they can update the policy and require participation. However, if participation is surrendering personal phones or emails then that may go beyond what the can legally require (but they may try anyway). Work phone or devices is different. I can see Auburn telling him and the lady they want personal phone info and personal email info, and them saying "Those contain no pertinent information, so no." University then tries to fire based on this, but in reality any employer can't do or require this unless the device is for work/university activities. However, it might then go down the Texas Tech sovereign immunity route as they are in the wrong, but Harsin and any employees have no legal chance to win...even if in the right. This isn't law enforcement getting a warrant. Employers don't have the right to demand personal data or information.

    Apparently I was snoring the other night and she moved to the couch. She has super sensitive hearing so I may have been breathing heavy or maybe snoring. She told me that she had a dream that she divorced me because I snored and she then married someone else. She said they were horrible and she begged me to take her back. My response was to ask her if I said yes?
