I think it will stop once he's dead. Maybe. Hopefully.

Interesting. I know that Ukraine was given a bunch of handheld anti tank weapons to great effect. And I guess the Bradleys are supposed to be adept as tank killers?

I'm not sure what Russia has in the way of similar besides drones.

Why do they even need the M1 tanks?

Wow ok.... Backs slowly away

More like eating the escape pill to GTFO of that hellhole for a little while (or eternally)

Skimming is a nice skill to have. I was able to find the answer in no time.

Anyway it is either this answer, or certain members of the GOP are actually Russian assets (wittingly or unwittingly of use to Putin).

Until he shuts up, too.

Like Carl Sagan wrote, we should probably teach how messy science can be to show why it is the best method. Despite setbacks, human nature, persisting wrong ideas, and whatever else, the entire process of science eventually overcomes and on average, we inch ever closer to truth.

The anti-science people make arguments that clearly show they have neither a concept of how science works nor a sufficiently flexible mind to accommodate (let alone seek) updated information.

Uh have they tried using anti mine systems to clear a path? I'm pretty sure western military doesn't just go charging forward crossing their fingers...

Yes true if they lack appropriate air support and logistics support. Which is the case for Ukraine.

Modern western strategy is very different from that of WW2. The key is integration of air support, artillery, armor, infantry, etc. If Ukraine had superior fighter jets, to gain air superiority and anti tank and anti personnel platforms like A10 and Apache, all platforms working in sync and all backed by logistics support to keep everything operating, it would be a different story I guess.

Related, I wonder if they're suggesting the old Russian tanks would somehow perform better than the western ones? Because as far as I know, western tanks have the best armor systems, the highest accuracy, and the ability to fire while moving. Maybe they need to adapt their tactics to make better use of their platforms?

Nor do their rabid fanbase.

I'm starting to suspect maybe the anti abortionists just want to subjugate women... 🤔

I watched that live and she was sharp as fuck during the whole thing. Really impressed the hell out of me. We need more like her.

Willing to bet there is at least one actual law that provides whipping out a gun and firing it, even in Texas.

This is why, while I support recognizing the right to self defense, I do not support Constitutional carry. Something this dangerous should require regular safety training. I felt the same about driving.

Fun fact: It's not just the legal system. It's kind of fucking everything. Corruption is everywhere. It's progressively gotten worse over the decades while not enough people cared to do anything about it. Now we have campaign finance shenanigans, lobbying tomfoolery, citizens united ruling, regulatory capture all over, the first trillion dollar company and numerous other oligopolies. Here in the good ol' US of A, it's Dollar Über Alles.

From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we're donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.

An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber

I see no downside here.

If gender is whatever an individual feels like, then this event was just thousands of women and non-binary folks,

The event could be "thousands of women and non-binary folks". Did all these male-presenting people identify as women or non-binary just to be able to attend this event?

What do you think identity politics is, exactly? Just a way to make changes you don't like to make you unhappy? It couldn't possibly be about people trying to make social changes so they're not constantly treated like shit. Oh no. The horror.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit

They're pro-rich, pro-white, pro-christian, pro-capitalist, pro-oligarchy, pro-oligopoly, and pro-authoritarian.

They believe in a hierarchy based on class, race, genetics, health, sexual orientation, gender and gender expression, conformity, etc.

They believe this hierarchy must be strictly enforced and they act accordingly.

People with this world view don't believe in equal treatment under the law or anything else. They vehemently oppose egalitarianism.

They want people lower on their made up hierarchy to have less, to suffer and to die.
