1.) We spend close 12 billion on border control already, and a little more than that on drugs. Doesn’t do a damned thing, except make it more profitable to traffic people and drugs. If you restrict supply without addressing demand, you just increase price and producer surplus, encouraging more of that activity. Pretty…

It wouldn’t be a crime even if she tripped the other runner, it would be a civil thing. If you slip and fall and there wasn’t a wet-floor sign, you go to court, or you stop bitching. Same logic applies in sports.

I dispute that, but to each his own.

Sander would take us back to the same tax rates we had in the 60's. Universal healthcare works great in Britain. The Banks are too big, and a lack of competition in the financial sector in general is stifling growth.

Star Trek Enterprise drove the series into the ground. I don’t mind Archer, but his role was overshadowed by the sheer awfulness of the show he was main character in.

Well, it does kind of make sense to a degree. Amphibious assault ships are primarily used as helicopter carriers, despite their name. Roll-on Roll off ships do most of the heavy lifting in Amphibious operations, and could take on most of the role.

Admittedly, they gave the Medal of Honor out like candy until WWI.

You clearly haven’t watched History Channel pre-2010. Or read a book.

This is a terrible event, but I wish people would take these events in perspective. Europe has been through this before. The Troubles, the Red Army Faction, and the ETA weren’t any less deadly than Islamic terrorism. The Islamic State is morally and ideologically bankrupt, and Europe will outlast them.

whoops, didn’t read carefully

Don’t forget the Swiss!

That perspective makes little sense, and that commentary is a shortened (but extremely similar) version of an equally flawed commentary by Joseph Kennedy in Politico.

I could really only see a nuclear ship as having the potential for a major disaster, and a lot of people think its a nuke like the Kirov, may bad. The ship is structurally sound, after all. Just the innards are rotten.

They aren’t cowards. Individually, they are about as brave as American soldiers. The difference is the organizations they are in.

5k? Even if you mean meters instead of feet, that’s easy for a MANPAD, especially if you don’t have installed missile detection systems.

I wouldn’t say that. He won’t be able to advance, but the US and the Arabs likely won’t provide additional aid, in fear of provoking the Russians. Plus, the ethnic cleansing of parts of Syria means there isn’t many people left in Syrian Govt. territory rebelling.

And the Su-34s. Which were never needed for that mission, Really.

Why is Jezebel on Jalopnik? Gawker Media is a big stable of blogs.

Nah, it isn’t nuclear if that’s what you are thinking. Just an unreliable and dirty diesel powerplant

“Mig SU 35 3rd generation and the 4th generation fighters and you will listen up, as their fighters are light years ahead of ours in all the things that count, even their radars and situational awareness control systems.”
