If Soviet management needed big nails, they would set the quota by weight. If they need small nails, they would set the quota by count. That's how things worked.


It's even worse. In order to create a market for their steel production quotas, it was tons of lowest grade steel with flaws and design of things made from steel just doubled the amount of steel required, no real mechanical engineering required. I learned that tidbit from the manager of a Russian refinery in 1992.

if the enemy just uses an EMP


EMP effects are greatly overhyped. Operation Starfish Prime proved that decades ago. Now take the explosion at Shell Norco's Cat Cracker unit in the late 1980s that blast has the same effect as an EMP, yet every single automated shutdown system in the entire refinery operated as designed and in proper sequence. Your kitchen appliances will likely be caput.

Perfect Circle


From the source data

quote:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters consider it important for the United States to send military aid to Ukraine, including 36% who view it as Very Important. Thirty-three percent (33%) don’t think U.S. military aid to Ukraine is important, including 16% who say it’s Not At All Important. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

But it definitely depends on how questions are asked


quote:

But when Rasmussen asked, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: ‘We must fix our country before devoting more resources to Ukraine,’” the partisan division became apparent.

Among Republicans, 84% agreed with “our country” to 14% who disagreed. Among Democrats, 54% agreed, and 44% disagreed.

Two things:

1) If Navalny was out in the normal world, he likely could have sought immediate medical treatment for the blood clot.

2) Can any "Pro-Putin" type explain to me why Navalny was in prison to begin with?

I'm sure the things we learned today won't change the mind of the "Slava Ukraini!!!1" bros in here, of whom there are many. Some are raising strong and beautiful Queens, some are not. But all are cucks.

Bruh...you literally admitted to being a sexual cuckold. I mean by the very definition of the word.

And then you come here and tell us we are "cucks" because we oppose an aggressive war of conquest in Europe.

Dude. Pull yourself together.

Just to change the narration for a moment, check out how Russians do logistics and transportation.

Link to twitter, really can't preview it, so here goes...

All that pegging he's taken has scrambled his brain. Traumatic brain injury.

I mean, being a cuckold is like, whatever. I don't get into someone's personal life or sex life or anything like that. You do you.

But you can't use that term as some sort of accusatory slur when you are lapping up some other guy's juices on Sunday afternoons.

The first M1A1 Abrams was officially destroyed today in Dontesk. Drone warfare is really changing the entire game. Crew all survived which is the important thing. You rarely see that with Russian tanks.

If you look at the back of the turret, see those two open holes?

That's where the blowout panels were. The blowout panels are armored covers that cover both the ready and semi-ready 120mm ammunition storages.

If those blowout panels don't blow off and push that explosion away from the interior of the turret, all are dead. I can personally attest to the survivability of the Abrams.

It's amazing. Once drones have AI capability they will be even more effective. I give it a year.

Fake News?

quote:

I date tasty young birds. I think this means she secretly resents me.

RN this 25 year old hottie that I'm shtupping is in Japan and Thailand with her sugar daddy, so I'm stuck banging girls only 10 years younger than me for the next couple weeks.


quote:

He's loaded AF and runs his own company. Can't compete with that. You can call me a cuck all you want


Ok. I will take your word and call you a cuck since you admitted to it.

You will probably go back and delete your post. So I screenshot it for posterity

ETA: Saying "I date tasty young birds" is probably the creepiest thing I have read on this website.... in like forever.
