are there any significant foreign assets Venezuela has *not* seized, that don’t belong to Russian or Chinese interests?

thing is, deadly conflict without using nukes is not something to be discounted. Its a common fantasy that people think generals are hollywood nutballs hoping to nuke everyone at the first provocation. A significant throwdown with conventional hardware as everyone makes excuses NOT to go nuclear, could be a deciding…

LCS craft aren’t designed to slug it out with other ships in blue water. They’re brown water vessels usually dealing with smaller threats or even shore work. Anti piracy work and less sophisticated naval forces like many of the weird craft Iran likes to deploy for showoffs, is where the new LCS is meant to play.

STAHP!

I may or may not have seen a Japanese video similar to this, with more schoolgirls involved....

I’d be offended, except it’ll be great when Mayweather wipes the floor with this clown. The only questions is whether Mayweather plays him out for awhile and takes him apart slowly for a better show for the fans, or does a Tyson on him and destroys him right away.

nope. I had an 07 Turbo, automatic transmission, no mods. Replaced the heads due to valve issues. Then had to replace the block. the block failed 17 months later with less than 12K miles on it (300 miles into a 3 state road trip to my mother’s funeral, natch). Subaru dealership that swapped the first heads’ official…

most “oil companies” owners are actually “energy companies” owners. they make the big bank no matter what power source people buy. They own as much of the various fuels that power the generation plants as well as much of the companies that distribute or maintain it.

you mean like how he obtained Solyndra’s assets in Fremont for his Solar City company?

its the supersonic passenger jet Boeing’s been working on for decades!

bet you I could remote control the Apache as a “drone” without significant increase in expense or hardware. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was already in place and only needed proper configuration.

LOL the AR does not have significant “kickback” in 5.56. that buffer tube in the back pretty much gets rid of anything the 223 bullet imparts. a decent muzzle brake gets rid of the rest. why their image still mounts the grip on the lower, confuses me tho.

the real sad thing is that, being right STILL cost a fortune.

ain’t none around here. :( I’ll probably have to go with a G8 GT next year as the GXP version, and the SS, around here are quite a bit outside my price range

will never go “production” or ever be produced. How much more scandal, drama, and outright bad press does it take?

another knee jerk response. Last NRA event I went to, “white” guys were the minority. Mostly hispanic descent there. the last range trip? chinese and filipino. But to make the hate stick, call everyone “white”. Even the Sikh with the 308 who’s got custom earpro to get under his turban.

no, no it wouldn’t.

cuz if they put in authentic ‘hood rides like donked Caprices and a bunch of H2s parked in front of subsidized housing, they’d get called out as “racist” or something else.
