The US wasn't slinging artillery rockets at a civilian center, much less on its own soil. Your specific mention of cruise missiles and the F-117 are exactly what defines the difference. Both are precision weapons made for surgical strikes. The US did not carpet bomb Baghdad with B-52s. That would be comparable to this…

Be sure to specify that the bottle should be made of glass. I've heard stories about riots in my area that were associated with the Rodney King/1992 LA riots. Some of the geniuses were making molotovs with plastic coke bottles. The cops just stamped out the burning rags and kicked them out of the way.

Then why did you even bother to read it?

Just as a thought exercise, how difficult would it be to upgrade the A-10 to make it capable of being deployed from an aircraft carrier? It's already designed with short take-off and landing capability on improvised runways.

I'm not sure if I agree about the MANPAD threat. The A-10 is specifically designed to have a lower heat signature. An A-10 flying in open terrain can literally hug the ground, and does so flying much faster than any helicopter. An F-16/F-15 flying CAS can't maintain that low of an altitude. Remember that MANPADs are…

"If you faggots…"

That's actually exactly what they do at most airshows. Of course it's more for safety. And the public expects more of a fireball than an organ jarring concussive explosion

Looks like you are correct. I'm not sure why I thought they only built one. It is great looking, especially since it used a lot of 'off the shelf' parts.

Just playing the devil's advocate, but I thought sexual activities while under the influence was a taboo on Jezebel.

Loafers are always welcome with a good pair of shorts (like the ones deemed acceptable above), but never with socks. In fact, now that it's getting warm I tend to wear loafers sock-less with casual pants as well. Tell your husband to ditch the socks unless he's wearing athletic shoes and doing something athletic. This…

The guy seriously screwed up, but his story could be legit. I traveled with a shotgun and a rifle in my car plenty of times when coming home from college for long breaks.

According to locals (San Diegoites?San Diegans?) posting on another story about this, once you pass the last exit in the US, there's no turning around. And the US side is often flowing freely without any slowing down. Once on the other side there's no way of avoiding a search. No idea about his ethnic background but…

Impressive, but it doesn't really count if you only build one.

Tyumen is over 100 miles to the east of Ekaterinburg. And I know Ekaterinburg is a 20 hour plus train ride from Moscow.

Because we need to maintain the geopolitical balance. The implications of a distant countries actions may not be obvious, but they are important.

The point of any deployment would be to deter Putin's aggression, not openly combat Russian forces. Allowing him to walk all over international norms by annexing former Soviet territories sets a really bad precedent. The Ukrainian army is nothing compared to the Russian army. They are having enough trouble holding…

That sounds good in theory, but the EU is the kind of loose confederation that can never be really effective in terms of foreign policy. Economics and trade, yes (sort of), but not foreign policy. Imagine if Congress voted to go to war, and then each state was allowed to determine their own contribution, or if they…

You mean "Well grammar…"

I really hope you are just playing the devil's advocate.

The Montreux Convention says Turkey is in charge of the Bosporus, and Turkey is our ally. We aren't exactly sailing our destroyers into the Azov Sea.
