1. True, but since we’re dealing with what he said and in my case he actually provided a more in depth response, then we have to deal with those realities as they present themselves. Not on your supposition.

It fell in an accelerating cascade, because as soon as the structure at floor X failed, then the floor below it was carrying two floors of weight, also weakend by heat, it gave way quickly and then the one below that was carrying 3 floors of weight, so it snapped right away, and so on and so on. By the time it got…

Hey NSAWC still flies the -66 on their Vipers, it is a good approximation of Eastern radars carried by aircraft like the MiG-29 from what I have been told, but not the new stuff obviously. Big piece on this coming soon.

So welfare is okay as long as it’s corporate welfare. Instead of directly helping people we should line the pockets of corporations through crony capitalism. Cool.

All good and stuff, but when are we going to talk about the REAL issue: gingers stealing our jobs, welfare and marrying our women?

The NFL will drag its feet in protecting players, but hops right to it when comes to protecting bookies.

1. It’s not “sales” itself being a metric. It’s sales of memberships specifically. You can be the top salesman of merchandise, but if you’re below average in sales of memberships, then you get pushed aside.

And start world war three in the process? The carrier battle group is in international waters so the Russians have broken no laws and can do as they please as long as they don't cause a safety issue.

Shooting down a plane because its near your ship in international waters? Unless it fired on you violates international law and maritime law and is a act of war.

Cause WWIII numb nuts. That wasn't even provocation. You should have seen the shit we see to do to eat other in the Cold War. Buzzing at 500 is child play to literally ramming ships which the US and Russians used to do.

Because that would be fucking stupid.

because it has been happening for half a century and everyone has thankfully kept their pants on.

This kind of thing was pretty routine during the cold war and we don’t want to start world war 3. If the Bear did start dropping ordinance on the carrier the Bear would last about 5 seconds before the CWIS/Rolling Airframe missiles/Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles/F-18s got it.

Big Thud fan, but c’mon.

Build more F22’s? Apparently someone thinks we have plenty if they’re handing them out to the f#cking Hawaiian Air National Guard....

I live in America and I’ve been to China on business a number of times. Although America is a nicer place to be, it’s losing its lead. Getting stuff started here involves quite a bit of red tape, whereas it’s a free for all in China, and you can call up a CCP member and reach an understanding with any uppity…

Fine. I’ll post it.
