Italy, Greece, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Thailand, S. Korea, France... countries with similar laws. Are these tyrannical?

Spain, France, Thailand, India and about 50 other nations have anti religious defamation laws similiar to Russia. They make it illegal to hold demonstrations or commit acts of protest within a Mosque, Temple or Church. This is not uncommon. Let’s back off the “OMG Russia!” response.

Meh. You know who else’s has laws about demonstrating within a place of worship? Spain, Thailand, France, and about 30 other countries. Mosques, temples, cathedrals and churches ar protected by a law that the Russian people asked for and was ratified by their elected officials long before Putin was in power.

According to Russian law?

1. A last gen Dakota?

You don’t by a Jeep Wrangler to live with on a day to day basis. If that’s what’s you need, buy a Cherokee.

Add that GM is arguably the industry leader in EV development and sales. Tesla gets the buzz while GM quietly outsells them in their own niche. The $30k Bolt may be the most influential car of the next 10 years...

Kia

The residents did just fine supporting a team for about 30 years. The city council was the issue, not the fans. David Stern and the OKC grifters were issues as well.

How are you going to train and certify pilots in sling load operations with a winch?

They were performing sling load training which requires the hook up, lift, a specified flight distance, lower, de-hook and land to meet certification requirements. For it to be worth the Army’s time and money, they needed to get the full training iteration.

The army has more aircraft than the air force. 90% of rotary wing aircraft are in the Army with the remainder mostly in the USMC and a handful in the Navy and Airforce.

Except they have to rehearse and certify on sling loads anyway. So whether its a stuck HMMWV or a shipping container in a field for training, the pilots and crews got their work in. Also flight hours are required. Most the time the pilots are just flying around performing various maneuvers to log hours. Sometimes…

No one in the military calls them “hummers.” That started with crappy hollywood action movies and then it caught on with civilians.

Because you drive the vehicles you have. USAF Security Forces are deployable units therefore they are equipped with vehicles that you can take into a combat zone.

But none of those things are inherently socialist.

And Canada exercises little control in the management of both humans and industries. They have social programs, but as a nation, they don’t follow the socialist economic model.

Fair enough. Good chat. I’ve probably spent too much time already discussing SUVs.

Of course, but AWD performs better than 4WD under most conditions. Just refuting your argument against the Sienna.

Neither does the 2017 Durango. AWD drivetrain.
