What no roast turkey?

The older ones look so much better. They’re actually desirable. The new ones are just bulbous microwaves.

I jog up and down a hilly mountain road and can hear just about every vehicle coming. I like to get to where I can be seen well before they get there. There’s an older couple out here with a Nissan Leaf that just appears out of corners. Boom! Surprise! Hope there’s enough room! That thing is stealthier than a deer.

I imagine that at lower speeds such a vehicle could sneak up quickly on unsuspecting pedestrians and run over those who didn’t hear it coming.

The delivery and timing is flawless.

Agreed. ANZAC has always been good, and many of those others as well. It’s may be poor form to point out those who sent troops then put them under heavy restrictions as to what they can do, ie rebuilding missions only. That sort of half-assed support observed for years on end makes me think that the next time the…

Vlad is pretty good strategically.

It disappoints me that your screen name is LastAfricanHero.

Wrong on just about all of the above. I’ve spent ~ 5 years directly deployed to the hot zones of the Dar al Islam attempting to make work some solution whereby they can live at peace with the rest of the world and themselves. As events for the last 1400 years have proven it’s not to be. The point being made is that…

It has been attributed to a few leaders throughout history, from Alexander to Napoleon.

Vlad is a better strategic thinker who is both competent and watching out for the interests of his people. The matchup is unfair for us Americans.

We don’t have the leadership or the will to use such weapons as the B2 and it is a hollow gesture. It is mainly due to this man, whose word is known to mean nothing and whose backbone is lacking when confronting anything other than conservative white Americans. “Greater is an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army…

Agreed, good point that is true. And as a corollary neither should America be on the hook to protect Europe against any and all problems with her blood and treasure.

NATO is a hollow joke. Why should America spend blood and treasure defending people who hate us? Have you ever been in combat with mixed ISAF units?

You may want to check your facts; 70% of the French did NOT die in WWII. If there was any incompetence it was the French defending themselves at the start of the war. But all that’s water under the bridge and not really worth rehashing. The issue is NATO is now a joke. Why America bothers to vouchsafe the security of…

NATO - Not a Tactical Organization.

Christianity is irrelevant to the horrors of Islam. Let us take them independently. Your argument is that “it’s pretty fucking far from Muslim ideals too “ (let me suggest you actually write Islamic in that place, Islam does not necessarily = Muslims. Please read the Koran and study the history and actions and…

Well of course. And of course we must make the distinction that Islam!=Muslims. Muslims are humans whose common sense can often override the deadly core commands of their ideology.

I’d say the favor has been returned. Twice. If we have aligned interests in the future that’s all well and good, things like trade, etc etc, but let’s not pretend we have some sort of special friendship.
