re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 6/1/24 at 3:42 pm
There have been rumors for weeks that Russia would follow up the invasion of the Kharkiv region with a similar assault towards Sumy, in an effort to further stretch and thin out Ukrainian defenses. There have also been regular reports recently that Russia had accumulated significant forces for such...

[quote]It clear the Russian objective is to stretch Ukraine’s army to its breaking point. As Russian attacks continue to spread to different sectors of the front, this forces Ukraine to deploy more and more of its dwindling reserves to the front where those reserves then be attritted. Basically, Rus...

Ukraine won't have that many planes or pilots for several years.
I question whether they will have more than a dozen of either one by the end of this year....

[quote]Yes the F-16 can carry Storm Shadow.[/quote]
My assumption, though, is that the Su-24s would still be responsible for those missions, as those planes aren't good for much else. By contrast, the f-16s have other, very important missions.
Do you disagree?...
re: Extremely sad interview with former Pels HC SVG, opening up about his wife’s passing
Posted by GOP_Tiger on 5/30/24 at 11:39 am
Beyond the COVID protocols and some players hating SVG, the other thing that I remember his tenure by is David Griffin bringing in Eric Bledsoe to be our starting point guard.
That was such a big part of our problems that year, and I wonder just how successful we could have been with a decent PG...

If you want the translation from DC-ese into regular language, what this means is that:
"The policy is getting changed, but everyone has to pass the memos around another time, and then the exact details of the new policy need to be worked out, so expect something official in about two weeks."

[quote]And even though Zion did not play, I think we can make a safe assumption and say we're a 1st round out. I see kinda literally zero chance, barring injuries to the opponent, we could beat any of OKC/DAL/MIN/DEN in a 7 game series with this season's team if healthy.[/quote]

Sweden is sending its entire fleet of retired Pansarbandvagn 302 APCs to Ukraine in order to outfit several new brigades being formed. Over 600 were produced over the vehicle’s lifetime.[/quote]

The state of Louisiana has a draconian system, to be sure. It's really bad for poor people.
If you're poor and your car breaks down, and you can't afford to get it fixed right away, then you probably can't easily get the plates to the OMV. But you're also not going to pay insurance on a car tha...
