Guys trying to make a roster should be busting their arse.

They’ve lasted four years longer than most thought using the wrong strategy.

Good. I want this war over asap


Yes that way Russia can concentrate on helping Iran.
To prove your points it would be helpful to follow up and update your maps to highlight these game changing advances by the Russians.

The construction contractor is Hard Rock Construction out of Harvey, Louisiana.


When they upgraded the Sherwood Forrest/Coursey corner Hard Rock did a great job.
Broome passed thd MovEBR project to pay for all this.

It included a laundry list of highway improvements including Airline, 30 and widening of Lee and new projects like Jones Creek.

It seems like they pushed forward these sidewalk projects and their bus project ahead of most of the others.

well it would have and those industries certainly help the states. The reason it didnt help the schools is all the money that came in from them......The state took the same amount and moved to the general fund. so everything stayed equal on the teacher/school side of the equation and the state got more money to give away to the BS they wanted


EBR Paridh is proof that giving more money to education results in better much better schools and much better students. It doesn’t.

You aren’t missing anything if you tune in between 7;00am and 7:30am unless you care about movies, music, Razor or Junior High and High school.

Between the poor broadcast quality and the useless banter the sports talk is almost non existent.

Sure it’s hot and nobody likes hot weather, but in the overall scheme of things it’s nothing big.

Yea I do fear unless Ukraine can set up or be supplied with sufficient patriot systems, Kyiv is going to be bombed into some form of submission by ballistic missiles over the next 12-18 months.


It certainly appears that way, but that begs the question; why does Russia keep throwing thousands of men against Ukraine’s ground defenses when they could just bomb Ukraine into submission?

Are you pitching this as a good thing? Insane.

I thought it interesting that Miami had only reached 100 twice in modern history.

The bear isn't playing.


Exactly, after four and a half years they decided to take the gloves off!!!

The bear isn’t playing, but they aren’t going very fast.

quote:

A mistake multiple people keep making is pretending like there were any ironclad guarantees given to Ukriane in the first place.


Correct, if there were any secret handshakes, etc. they were never put in writing.

quote:

They should have kept their nukes based on what they got in writing. It was meaningless word salad with no requirements.


Yes, they gained nothing by giving up their nukes.

quote:

Ukraine should ask for specific deliverables next time, if there is one. I don't want the US to give them that and have said so numerous times, but Europe should if they feel that's in their interest and it probably is.


I suspect they have, but Trump isn’t going to do anything, and if Europe wanted to do something major, Putin wouldn’t let them.

is it just me or is that kinda shocking?


It surprised me that after 130 of so years Miami has never hit 101 and hit 100 only twice now.

I really dont care if people are upset over this. If the rules say he can play. Thats the rules.


That’s not correct, the rules say he can’t play.
The judge is saying he can until it’s adjudicated.

Miami soared to 100 degrees Tuesday, tying the city’s all-time record high temperature originally set in 1942.


100 degrees again in Miami after 84 years.
I think we will survive.
I agree, the light makes sense.

What doesn’t make sense is the way it’s set up and how there aren’t proper controls, but that is EBR traffic in a nutshell.

We pay big bucks for synchronization and we get chaos.
quote:

If Ukraine were to be offered a peace deal that had them surrender the Donbas in exchange for EU and NATO membership with nothing other than that (No reparations, etc...) would they take that deal...I think they would jump at it.


If the EU pledged troops to man a DMZ, perhaps.
quote:

Heh. They've been through that rodeo.


They never had boots on the ground.
Think Korea.
I have always thought Ukraine might give up the Donbas at the right price.

The right price had to include ironclad guarantees.
