Sometimes, Tyler, I like to think you’re the laziest espionage handler ever.

Which wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t topple stable government under false pretenses.

Yeah Syria was so nice Assad’s dad massacred 30000+ people back in the 80’s...in one city.

I think the Russians are out of luck. The global oil market is changing, and the Russians are gonna get stuck in Syria worse than they realize.

It doesn't matter what it was before we invaded. We invaded under false pretenses and for questionable reasons and now the region is on fire.

Incorrect, we have proved we can destroy a standing military quite easily. Now rebuilding a Country... really what nation has proven to be good at that??

Stop this myth that Putin is some strategic genius. Yeah they got got part of Ukranine (and South Ossetia, and Bush didn’t do a goddamn thing, just getting that in before some idiot starts about Obama being weak). But their economy and demographics are shit and not going anywhere.

Don’t you mean “The Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe”?

Area 25 1/2 ????

Sorry. You’ve succumbed to Discovery Channel’s very entertaining, if not realistic, display of ‘history’. I’m a huge student of Germany in WW2, and they did some amazing things, but the 229 was hardly one of them — at least not for the reasons you present.

In Area 50.

Unless they have completed the atomic bomb to go with the bomber, Third reich fate is already written.

Sometimes validation takes a lot longer to show up than it should. Well done, Jack Northrop.

This is hearsay and anecdotal evidence, but from some time spent aboard surface warfare ships, my favorite line about Carrier Task Force duty is, “When the shit hits the fan... we’re the slow lame children of the fleet compared to the carriers.”

Great reporting. Thanks Raph.

Amazing story, Raph.

I don’t agree with parking in two spaces, but it seems like this guy tries to avoid being a dick by parking in empty areas, even if he is taking up two spaces.

People with OCD, that’s who. I can’t relax if I know there are cars out there that are straddling the lines, not sitting nicely between them.

If the parking lot is full, it’s not cool at all. If there are like 15 other cars in a parking lot that fits 100, it doesn’t matter. I suspect this was the latter. Truck guy was an idiot, BMW guy was a bigger idiot.

Who the fuck cares if someone takes up two spaces? Mind you own business and get a life.
