I can't remember the exact quote and haven't been able to find it through quick searching, but I remember hearing one in the past from Germans about the Sherman. To paraphrase: "It took 10 Shermans to take out one Panzer, but the Americans always had the 11th Sherman coming over the ridge."

Podcaster talks about the Ukrainian propaganda machine, information space, and what to believe. https://www.thebulwark.com/podcast-episode/michael-weiss-who-should-you-believe-about-the-war-2 On a separate note be brings up an interesting theory of one or multiple high level leakers inside the Russian cabinet who want to see this fail (because they know war with the west will be fatalistic) This would explain how the IC got amazingly precise info leading up to the invasion as well as Putin's recent purge of very high level intelligence and military officials.

Here it is

If we shot a few people for their failure we might actually have a working replacement for the 135… Just saying… modern problems, very old working solutions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And we think a letter of reprimand is bad

Last week oil was $135 a barrel, this week it is back below $100. The reality of supply and demand is overcoming conjecture and panic.

Not once have I war mongered. I made it abundantly clear that the best way to handle this is to crush Russia economically while helping the Ukrainians defend themselevs, which for F*cks sake man they have a right too. Just like you are probably pro gun so you can defend your own home. Find me a post where someone said we should go sink the Black Sea fleet. The US needs to play the long game here. Let the Russians dig their own grave. They are a floundering super power because of their crappy, selfish leadership. These are the people who don't care about killing their own people, it's in the process of coming back to haunt them.

I will say this about Adam. I have personal knowledge that he was extraordinarily instrumental to the evacuation of Americans and Afghan allies back in August and September. He has my respect for that.

At this point (soon to be out of office) “No Fly Zone” Kinzinger only represents pilots who know something about everything and actually nothing. Kind of embarrassed by all the jock holding from past comments in this thread.

I just got "you needed broader experience, all you've done is fly your whole career." Oh, and "you didn't get enough awards as a CGO"...Despite having about 8 FGO awards in 3 years as an FGO.
