Just read this article.

The government installed by Obama and Biden is a fricking atrocity.


Not sure if you follow the YT channel "Forgotten Weapons", but they sometimes also publish books through crowd funding campaigns. They recently were trying to publish the account of a Swedish foreign fighter that went to Ukraine to fight. They made a video discussing his memoir and how they want to translate it to English and publish it. Turns out the dude was in the Azov unit and some of the subscribers to the channel pointed it out. Within 24 hrs they had to make another video about how they really didn't know the unit's history and pulled the campaign

Whereas Nigeria and Niger are just Nigeria and Niger

Both of these countries have significant Islamic insurgencies, be it Boko Haram, the Islamic State-West Africa or Al Qaeda in the Maghreb. We'd sooner see a terrorist attack here from one of those groups than we would from any Russian.

Contextually speaking - destroying a family via infidelity is a much more comparative description of the potential results in this thread compared to a football analogy. Unless you’re a sidewalk fan that’s never received a credit from the school you worship, in which case I apologize for insulting your fragile masculinity.

I’ll RA and Putin a request to remove my comments.

I listen to the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, and they talked about it before.

Post-2014 meddling Ukraine is an absolute mess.

If half the people on here knew how screwed up they were, they would give even less of a crap than I do.

After reading that article Obama and “The Big Guy” handed Putin his ethnic security argument on a silver platter.

So expand on this.

Are the talking points I'm seeing from the Right designed as a domestic political stance just for the sake of owning the Left? For guys who "love Reagan", they sure are impressed with ol' Savvy Putin.

You're down with their praises?





Im as down the middle as you can get. I personally think the right and left are fricking morons.. But love or him or hate him (as an American I do not not support the Russian government at all), but Putin is one hell of a politician.

You can give credit to someone without agreeing with them. Its like being a head football coach and understanding that your rival are really good at certain things.

Respect your opinion on the matter, glad we both live in a society that allows us to disagree on philosophical analogies.

Second Turkish Air Force cargo plane landing in Kyiv in the past hour. It’s on Flightradar24 but I’m too lazy to post the picture.

I kind of thought the whole thing was absurd to being with, but we've been getting intel from Tik Tok so who knows

How low is a low open generally


Depends on the operational requirements but can be as low as 750ft AGL to initiate. This is higher than minium static line combat jumps because it takes less time for a static line T11 canopy to inflate than to rip and inflate an MT1X multicell canopy.

I have done a static line jump at just under 500 ft AGL at night and to say things happen fast is an understatement. The idea of not having a reserve chute was actually more unnerving than what might have happened after I got on terra firma.
