Smells like coordite and freedom.

Well, the Kurds, for one - who we continually shit on and are still, somehow, friendly to us.

“Could lead to...WWIII brinksmanship”

The last time Russia acted like this, it took JFK and one hell of a Russian sub captain to put a stop to it. I desperately hope it doesnt go there again, but...

Seeing as the Russians seem to be spending more time attacking Anti-Assad US allies than ISIS, I doubt that the whole ‘working together’ bit is likely, sadly. Putin seems to have gotten his wish, the cold war is back, baby. *le sigh*

Official ones, anyway. I guess I’m concerned about the couple spooks that are running around embedded that ‘arent really there’.

I’m sorry if I’m telling you things you already know - I work with a number of blind professionals, so I’m just throwing this out here now.

The tyranny bit doesnt hold a ton of water - most of the governments that fell in the Arab spring had tanks and fighter jets as well. Militaries, in general, arent very good at fighting internal insurrection. Given our experiences in the middle east, ours is probably better than most, and that isnt really saying much.

It’ll look even better when one of those idiots drops a few tonnes of HE on an American observer and the previously dark F-22 decides to light it up and turn it into tinsel.

Civilian contractor with friends here.

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…

The armed forces are in a perfect storm of fuckary (technical term) right now. Pentagon procurement practices are seriously flawed (see: concurrency), budgets are as tight as they’ve been in years, and we’re in the middle of a major force overhaul. Its going to be an ugly couple years for the US military, and…

uh...from a friend?

Does the couple need a third member in their marriage? As they are obviously the best of people.

This is brilliant and if I’m ever foolish enough to get married, I’m doing it. Thank you!

I cannot fathom why all weddings are not like this. Fuck your classy bullshit - here’s whats going to happen. Nobody will eat enough, the best man (the grooms last single friend, now into his 30’s and lonely all while claiming he LOVES his carefree lifestyle) is going to end up fertalizing one of your overpriced…

Can i sent my vote from wisconsin to cali for him? Vote for him twice or something. Thank you.

Nope. Acting like a normal human being does not get you bonus points. Creep. (Also, by chatting up immediately after, it is assumed that you only mentioned politely in order to look like a decent guy, but you WERE in fact looking at her ass, and are a creep. This makes sense, because men are horrible. Pray that…

This is barely a tough decision for me when I’m hungover on a Sunday, but all lethal weapons are kept out of reach of the couch.

I had a bedroom towel when i was 15...used for...things...

Brother, you need to relax. R-E-L-A-X.
