I’m pretty sure not disparaging the company you work for is standard for any employment contract.

But it doesn’t make sense for Russia to drag out this war with some 4d chess strategy where they lose a bunch of equipment, fuel and manpower by sending in the low level troops, and then they send in the pros. All you do is give Ukrainian units experience and confidence so your shock troops have to fight motivated…

Doubt it. This isn’t kit that NATO is unfamiliar with. From what has been reported so far, it is a lot of older tanks and equipment that are being used extensively in Ukraine. The new stuff isn’t doing much since there isn’t much of it and replacing them if lost would be prohibitive.

“...while Russia has a formidable wheeled military force...”

Jesus Christ, was this the colour palette their designers used?

That was satire, because no person that thinks like this actually had a girlfriend to begin with.

A fool and their money...

As I’ve said, I believe Tesla is raising their prices because they can. However, I’m also far more ok with the manufacturer doing it so they can continue to build and design, rather than a politically protected middleman who adds practically zero value to the purchase of a car and exists solely.

Market adjustments go to a middleman though, not the manufacturer. Now, one could argue whether or not Tesla is engaged in price gouging. At best we can speculate (in my opinion, they are increasing prices because the demand for their cars isn’t letting up) since we don’t know the cost breakdown of a Tesla now vs. 2…

You described Christianity throughout history though, not just born again Christians. This isn’t new behavior.

But that happens with every case. Assault? My client made a mistake. Rape? My client made a mistake.

Did someone say somewhere he can’t give his opinion? Giving an opinion doesn’t mean that others can’t respond to or criticize your opinion.

I understand it’s vehicular manslaughter, I’m advocating we drop the vehicular part. I’ll never fathom why we decided that killing someone with your bare hands requires is different than killing someone with a manned multi-ton missile.

What they need to do is treat causing death with your vehicle as your old fashioned murder/manslaughter which would hopefully get more drivers to not be raging assholes.

“She seems to believe her western truth is better than our traditional western truth, even if it is all a myth.”

Rivals don’t have to be your enemy. Make no mistake, China views Russia as a friend of convenience and nothing else and yes they are a regional rival that they would love to turn into a vassal state, which will happen should China choose to bail out Russia’s free-falling economy.

It’s two things, depending on the industry:
