[quote]To any Ukraine sunshine pumpers: What about western governments changing their previously hardline stances on striking inside Russia points to things going well for Ukraine?[/quote] The short-term outlook for Ukraine is negative. Ukraine is still short troops at the front, and the new uni...
[quote]. 85 F16s[/quote] Ukraine won't have that many planes or pilots for several years. I question whether they will have more than a dozen of either one by the end of this year....
[quote]Yes the F-16 can carry Storm Shadow.[/quote] My assumption, though, is that the Su-24s would still be responsible for those missions, as those planes aren't good for much else. By contrast, the f-16s have other, very important missions. Do you disagree?...
Beyond the COVID protocols and some players hating SVG, the other thing that I remember his tenure by is David Griffin bringing in Eric Bledsoe to be our starting point guard. That was such a big part of our problems that year, and I wonder just how successful we could have been with a decent PG...

He's a great backup center to have on the floor when Zion is not in the game, because he can collapse the defense and open up shooters on the perimeter....
If you want the translation from DC-ese into regular language, what this means is that: "The policy is getting changed, but everyone has to pass the memos around another time, and then the exact details of the new policy need to be worked out, so expect something official in about two weeks." ...

[quote]And even though Zion did not play, I think we can make a safe assumption and say we're a 1st round out. I see kinda literally zero chance, barring injuries to the opponent, we could beat any of OKC/DAL/MIN/DEN in a 7 game series with this season's team if healthy.[/quote] Playoff basketbal...
[quote] Sweden is sending its entire fleet of retired Pansarbandvagn 302 APCs to Ukraine in order to outfit several new brigades being formed. Over 600 were produced over the vehicle’s lifetime.[/quote] These vehicles are very similar to M113s. I saw a report that, as of 2018, they had 181 of t...

[quote]Then it should be real easy to name someone else who performed worse. [/quote] The claim wasn't that he had the worst [i]performance[/i] in the playoffs, which wouldn't be true, but would at least be unobjectionable, but that he was the worst [i]player[/i] in the playoffs, which is stupid...

[quote] I called you a 2-time Biden voter. Are you saying that because technically you've only voted for hin once so far that I'm a "liar"? Or are you not voting for him after all?[/quote] I have never voted for Biden, or for any Democrat in any federal election. I have told you this [b]twice[/...
For the time being, the gambling apps will probably banned, so it'll probably be Dudley DeBosier Field at Get Gordon Stadium....
The state of Louisiana has a draconian system, to be sure. It's really bad for poor people. If you're poor and your car breaks down, and you can't afford to get it fixed right away, then you probably can't easily get the plates to the OMV. But you're also not going to pay insurance on a car tha...
[quote]typical response from 2x Biden voter[/quote] This dude lies so easily and casually, and then wonders why people treat him like a trashposter. Winston, I'm curious if you do this in real life? Do you lie about your coworkers and then get surprised when you don't get promoted? Do you li...
[quote]I saw yesterday that his Gaza pier was sinking into the ocean. I hope.it sinks.all of the way to the bottom. Another Biden foreign policy feat. Wasn't it like 320 million dollars?[/quote] Hopefully, the DoD at least learned some good lessons, so that if we actually need to build one of the...
[embed]https://twitter.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1795535594849788384[/embed] It's crazy that it took the Czechs to do this, but there are lots of countries that are happy to indirectly sell artillery shells to Ukraine, as long as people keep their mouths shut about where it came from. The U...

[quote]It has been reported by BILD that when Ukraine used Patriot missiles against Russian aerial vehicles in Bryansk back in May 13, 2023, where in a matter of minutes two Russian Mil Mi-8, one Su-34 and one Su-35 were blown out of the Russian sky, that Berlin and Washington were furious. They thr...
