“Maybe it will take a F-22 pilot loitering at close to 60,000 feet above central Syria to suddenly turn off their “low-probability of intercept” radar mode and actively paint a Flanker with radar from over a hundred miles away, just to go electromagnetically silent again and disappear, to remind Russia who and what…
To not see this coming in 2012 was completely out of touch with reality. Predicting that it would come to a head in Syria and Ukraine, perhaps. But Putin was long since killing political enemies, controlling elections, forcing the Russian media under his hand, and using the state to steal wealth inside Russia. Total…
France has a larger military than the UK, and five western european nations (UK, France, Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium) have been carrying out bombing raids in Iraq and Syria, we aren’t sitting on our hands, perhaps like the US we aren’t being brutal enough but giving the military expenditure of the two biggest EU…
If Putin is truly a product of the Soviet Union, then he’s not worried about prestige. He’s worried about borders, power, and control. He doesn’t need prestige to do that. He needs proxies.
It’s not near any nations that could fight back, the nearest European Union member is Turkey, but that’s also on the Black Sea, Greece is near but of no use to anyone, you don’t get even vaguely serious in terms of military until you hit Austria, by which point you are nearly in western europe. It’s not like European…
It’s not just about Syria, it’s about the larger strategic picture; this gives Russia a whole lot of influence beyond the region, and a solid military foothold to threaten our bases from.
It’s amazing to me that Russia would release what is essentially their first “check out our F-117 hitting downtown Baghdad undetected with a laser guided bomb” video in.....forever? And it’s of dumb bombs missing their targets.
Cold War II: Winter is Coming
Those banners looks like they were made by the ladies.
Yuppp..... Everyone’s choices should be respected, unless they choose to join a sorority, in which case they are just submitting to the patriarchy!!
I am pretty sure the author said that the sororities made the banners. I am not saying that Sigma Chi guys AREN'T all in the closet. But, I don't think you can use the banners as evidence.
Don’t worry about the incoming hate. Most folks around here have it out for Greek life. Yep there are bad apples, a bunch of them, but many of us have become successful and well-rounded. PiKA here.
How do you Canadians consistently gain access to our American website pages???
1. Sigma Chi’s national philanthropy are the Children’s Miracle Network and the Huntsman Cancer Institute, so usually the money goes toward one of those causes, but some chapters have local philanthropies of their choosing that they might donate some (usually not all) of the money to instead.
2. Some of the money comes…
Oh shut up. There was nothing about it that was a submission to a 1950’s gender power structure. If anything, the sororities held all the power in the greek community.
I don’t know, isn’t it pretty much the case that ALL greek philanthropy kind of requires other greeks to do the heavy lifting? In my sorority, we had anchor splash/smash and it was 95% fraternities who were involved, coordinating costumes/routines/raising money/etc. Our sorority participated in Derby Days (it was…
