That's a nice sentiment.

Anyway, back in the real world, American Isolationism would mean the worldwide victory of Communism and rise of Eastern Dominance, and I would rather the entire human race be put to the sword than allow the world to turn Commie.

Go to the political board with your complaints.

Washington was a great man but that policy with regard to China over the last 44 years got us where we are today

The fuel trucks are one of the most important things I see on that list besides ammunition of course. Those Challengers and Leopards are thirsty beasts they will need a big logistical line following them. I’m guessing they got the 122 mm and 130 mm Soviet rounds from Pakistan somehow, most likely through the Brits. They have a nice stockpile of older Soviet weapons and ammo besides the western munitions they mainly use now. You are right 100% though. This is a package to sustain an offensive that already has the men and material in place.

George Washington


I hear George was all in on not having any connection with France, Holland, and Spain during his military tenure.



Some sensitive but not close-up footage of an explosion showing a soldier flying ~150'. I am not sure I even understand the physics of it.

I don’t think George objected to the French fleet bottling up the British at Yorktown and with the troops the French provided during the Yorktown siege.

Outside of the beginning of the war and 3 other single days the USD is currently stronger against the Ruble than at any other time in the last 10 years.

He was stuck a couple times. That's got to be a hell of a scary feeling knowing you're a sitting duck high value target.

I still can't believe the tactics they used for that. Fire point blank with the tank, destroy the trench and finish off any survivors with the tracks of the tank, and then send the infantry in after there is no trench left. Has anyone seen a decent explanation of why they chose to go that route?


My view is that it was intentionally released into the information theatre to colour Russian perception and expectations of what to expect of the Ukrainian offensive.

If it wasn't then I hope it was merely an one off example of a badly trained tank crew coupled with very poor communication.

My guess would be near an opening at the end of a hall so the concussive force was concentrated. The poor bastard was well dead from that before his Icarus impersonation.

It is absolutely amazing how Ukraine has defended Bakmut given it has been the focus of Wagner and the Russian army for months.

Nice form; a little rough on the landing though. He may have to settle for the bronze.
