None of the Black Sea coastline belongs to USA, and USA is on the opposite side of the globe. For some reason, Turks don’t fly spy planes off the Russian coast, and neither do Russians off the Turkish coast.

They probably don’t give a flying fsck what others think. They think Black Sea, and specially Russia’s Black Sea coast to be their turf and they will do everything to defend it.

That’s why you can’t trust Ukrainians with a first world fighter jet or other military equipment.

China never claimed that it owns the navigation rights in the South China Sea, so that’s a BS claim. China declared the South China Sea as its exclusive economic zone, which means they get the first dibs at exploiting the natural resources of the area.

China never intended to chock off major shipping routes. China claims the South China sea as its exclusive economic zone, which means that China gets to exploit its natural resources.

That’s a complete BS argument designed only to excuse the ginormous Pentagon budget or US aggression against China. China does not claim the South China sea as its territorial borders. They claim it as their exclusive economic zone, which means they get to exploit its natural resources, while the rest of ships should…

And US should care why? China claims the South China sea not as a territorial water, but as an exclusive economic zone. Which means that all ships can pass these waters, but China gets to exploit the natural resources of the area. Is this fair or not? I don’t want to judge, but it seems strange the USA puts so much…

The issue here is that a typical Saudi prince or a son of a Russian oligarch may not necessarily enjoy the comfort of a supercar and may not be able to handle one, even with an automatic transmission. Hence, a more tame “SUV” is produced for them, so they can show off in a Lambo SUV, even though the said SUV will not…

In 99% of situations, Honda Pilot has _three_ rows of seats and is almost as fast. I mean, how fast do you need to go up to 60mph on a normal road. Please. Garbage vehicle for the showoffs, and people with no taste but with too much money. I bet my Pilot can climb up the snowy mountain roads where this “SUV” will…

As long as this lambo can climb from Santa Fe (NM) up to Taos Ski Valley without embarrassing me against guys with 15 year old Subarus and Toyota 4Runners, I think it’s an incredible SUV and worth its money.

Money is very important, but it doesn’t buy everything in F1. Just look at McLaren. It’s truly embarrassing what they have become by now, and their slide started in 2013 when McLaren still had the good Mercedes engines.

Sauber was pretty good when it had a budget, and were the conduit for Mercedes return to Formula One.

I don’t anything anybody including FIAT has high expectations of the Sauber team. Sauber team has been broke for many seasons. So now they begged and begged Ferrari for some kind of discount on the engines, and Ferrari/FIAT decided to do it, and demanded that Sauber gives something back, and so they changed the name…

This proves that Car of The Year is a pretty worthless award.

Patrick,

Let’s hope kid learned his lesson.

That’s a pretty poor explanation. I have had many friends who can gulp brandy, tequila, or whiskey just fine, but they can’t stand drinking IPA. Go figure. It’s an acquired taste. It took me a couple of six packs of Stone IPA to actually start liking this drink.

You’re not getting old. The issue is that these two guys have been hanging out in F1 way past their prime for too long. Just like Barrichello.

This guy should have retired something like six years ago. What waste of a good F1 seat. I am not saying Massa was bad, but during the current decade he was way past his prime.

Why should the number of on-track passes be considered as the top metric by which we judge racing? DRC made the passing easy, but many of those DRC passes are effectively fake. Moreover, DRC has deprived us from the joy of watching close racing. These days, whoever has the fastest car simply passes without much…
