The system of life you enjoy is build around the framework that for the last 70+ years a developed country could not annex another developed country by force of arms without global repercussions (See Desert Storm). Failing to get off our collective asses and do something about Russia attempting to upend that system absolutely impacts your ability to “do normal stuff.” Because right now the accepted global norm is at the near bank of the Rubicon in what the accepted global status quo is. Throwing up the isolationist “not our problem,” is crossing that to the other bank which would be an entire new paradigm in the global status quo. One that will very well likely require us to get directly involved in a conflict of arms vs what is now a relatively simple matter of giving a somewhat friend the ability to hobble a definite opponent.

Oh you’re cooperative…. Well take all the time you need to find this stuff you were never supposed to have in a location it isn’t legal to be in that seems to keep appearing from god damned nowhere. It’s cool guys… the dudes Lawyer told me he’s good to go. It’s like they aren’t even trying to hide the blatant hypocrisy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s weird being on the LZ when the heavier stuff is going off because you blank out the goggles but you can see… then it gets dark again… then it’s bright again… it’s like being unaided in a T-storm at night, but luckily by that point you’re pretty much completely on instruments anyway so it’s just peripheral noise. Makes it real damn critical to spot the laser back at the RP though if you’ve got a difficult LZ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So given the fact he and his representative mouth pieces keeping finding new documents we should have the FBI thoroughly check all his properties for them right? In raid jackets? The disparity between the two and the reaction of government agents is pretty damn stark. The National Archives at least knew and accounted for what was in Trumps office, his lawyers said they returned it all, and when it was discovered there was more they executed a raid on a secret service guarded residence. Meanwhile nobody has a clue Biden has this crap, nobody has bothered to ask, they discover it, they call it good…. And we just accept that? How is one set of A-hole lawyers allowed to call their search complete and the others has to be raided and double checked by the FBI? We literally have no accountable tracking for Biden’s documents, and they keep just magically finding more. Obviously prudence and transparency would demand at best a search by government agencies not his personal lawyers. Both these parties were negligent with the handling and storage of classified documents. Only one party was insinuated as to be doing something nefarious with them (selling them was a media narrative for a minute) while the other gets a free hand of oh no big deal it’s just a few pages of stuff that never should have been outside a secure environment…..

I’ve got soldiers pulling 24 hour guard of an SKL because we don’t have approved safes on hand while we run secure comms for an exercise. Jokes on them, we could have just kept that stuff in my garage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought Democrats were above such conspiracy theories… weird how you can only find this report in very slanted or at best neutral media. WAPO and other “respected media” are mum on it.

Some people don’t understand the Ukrainians have repeatedly come near too and can still very much lose this war. At this point it’s turning attritional. Just in the basics of will x means = ability to continue Russia has a large advantage in categories to that off manpower and manufacturing resources/base. The more attritional this becomes the more critical it is for the Uke’s to continue to disproportionately create casualties and expenditures for the Russians to just keep parity in the conflict. Nobody will care who sank the Slava of three years from now when one side cannot continue to recruit men and the other has tens of thousands it can press into service.

I also love when idiots use “well regulated” in an argument for gun control not understanding the etymology of the phrase in its meaning. “In good order and supply” is hardly what they think it is and they are shocked to discover that by that requirement we should literally be buying people guns and ammo in order to effect that government sponsored training. When the due hards continue to argue “that’s not what regulated means!” I have to remind them I’ve been in several different Army Brigades where the logistics/quartermaster elements of the Brigade Support Battalion were named “regulators,” for that very literal translation of the word.

They aren’t running out of shells or more importantly tubes for their artillery. Our sanctions haven’t impacted their ability to manufacture those items. Complex munitions like PGM and Kaliber yes… 152mm boom and 220mm rockets not so much. They bought stuff back to make the gap between realizing this wouldn’t be a short fight and getting their industry spun up to make up the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Making Xmas dinner awkward with their family spouting off a semester of how wage stagnation and wealth inequality are a systemic criminal design of capitalism….

Their strategy for long term shift of Texas to a blue state has completely changed for the same reason. Used to be specific minority based issues and immigration. Now it’s shifted to a bunch of virtue signaling and millennial blame shifting like student loan repayment or “fair share” tax plans appealing to places like Austin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Trump was receiving a good deal of attention as part of a coordinated plan by Clinton surrogates to weaken and deplete the Jeb Bush war chest. Trump’s campaign was largely on life support when it got a sudden infusion right before the primaries. There’s a series of political reports from her staffers talking about the original design of the campaign to face Bush and later Rubio. Then they just could not adapt to face the thing they helped to create in a populist Trump campaign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bro how long have you spent in the employee of the government. The government acting has as much to do with appearing to be making an impact as actually making any impact. In fact it’s probably more the first one and if it happens to be impactful, bonus points. There is no doubt that wearing the RIGHT mask does actually make a measurable impact on you or any other possible vector spreading your nasty into the Gen pop. Problem is the right mask wasn’t what we sent people out with. Anything short of fishnets was pretty much accepted… and now you have a mass group of people with the feeling of “I have a mask so it’s cool” going out and interacting to plus up that size group because hey the government said it’s ok. Likewise how many people did you see wearing latex gloves. That works…. If you’re stripping gloves between movement and interaction. If you wear those gloves continuously (every gate guard I’ve interacted with) you actually increase the places you spread virus because it has a longer life on that glove than it does in your bare skin. That was actually a point brought to the post commander by our infectious disease OIC (friend of mine). Obviously the guy with a medical degree doesn’t know anything a star knows, so we just ignored it and the gate guards are still wearing them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I mean hell if we’re getting comparative with accident prices, that B2 at Anderson that was lost because of a fouled Pitot a tube could have either bought a new nuclear aircraft carrier, or paid to refuel 4 of them. Not to say genuine shit luck accidents don’t happen… but… Stuff is getting ridiculously expensive and we are never forward thinking as a military toward prevention in a lot of ways. The more time I see the military fail to use smart preventative measures the more I think we operate off the same logic as my wife waiting until the car’s check engine light has been on for a month and it’s smoking and vibrating before we finally say/do something about it.

It was passed…. It was also overturned in a bipartisan manner both of which occurred during the Obama admin. Yeah we’ve been here before bro. So you can stop acting like the GOP is some sort of problem to this.
