War in Ukraine

Great argument against Trump.

Yeah, unlike the fool we have in office now.

I hate it when government passes a sweeping law after a crisis. We somehow always end up losing more rights out of the deal . The big bold headlines with all the power words looks pretty , but the extra details tacked on when passing both the senate and the house is where we get screwed .

Yep, the beaurocrocy can pick and choose how to enforce it.

The German partition was worked out by FDR and Stalin at Yalta and I’m sure had FDR lived he would have yielded to Stalin at Potsdam and handed over Japan. Truman probably would have also except he was afraid of MacArthur.

Fdr help Russia get nukes.

It is ok to be looked at if you have done nothing wrong. They are not attacking Americans. Your individualism is intact. All the laws that attack individualism (like the patriot act) were republican. Democrats will not attack your individualism ... yet. Not now at least. When they do I will vote republican.

This is demonstrably false

A lot of the labs we had in Nuclear Engineering at UT were done at Oak Ridge. By far the most interesting one was the one where a slug of fissile material is inserted inside a donut of fissile material, so that it would be supercritical assembly waiting for a neutron from a source. It was used to simulate a bomb blast on a very very small scale for shielding and to test exposure to biological materials - in our case plant seeds. The guys who ran the lab said the slug was supposed to be ejected with a blast of air, but they weren't sure if it was really that or the rapid energy burst. Another part of the same facility had to do with approach to criticality and how far apart radioactive substances had to be kept to be safe.

Thank you for helping me get my day started by making me feel stupid.

Guess I better steer this conversation back to military aviation.

Slow Sunday in Moscow

Let's just here you say it out loud, you think Trump, despite his threats to NATO and his love affair with the "genius" Putin?

If you say yes it proves that you will take a political narrative over the actual truth.

I'm sure all that hate keeps you warm at night.

I’ve seen Russians apologize to Ukrainians online over the past few days. The Russian people do not support this war at all.

I’m sure there were many brainwashed into thinking this is really necessary for security, but it’s hard to see how Russians could really support what’s going on. It’s like asking us to go shoot Canadians.

Mods, can we get a title change? “Amassing forces” no longer feels adequate.

How about:

"VolNation to Russian Dictator: Go @#%! Yourself!"

Oh, it’s PERSONAL now
War in Ukraine could increase cost of your beer in Wisconsin

You believe Russian state TV and those that appear on it? Yet you criticize others for buying into propoganda? Seriously man, come on!

Those that don't want the truth to come out suppress dissenting voices..... Funny that's what Russia is doing right now.

What does that video have to do with Russian tv? That guy is a Chilean-American.

I vote for „Never Get Involved in a Land War is Asia“

Loved Takei as an actor. He is totally clueless as a commentator. I wish he would take a Shatner approach and stay above politics. Many of us want to remember these people for the joy they brought into our lives, not for the anger and conflict of politics

If the Hague declares Putin a "war criminal", are we good to go with the gofundme bounty on his head?

You misunderstand the term “leader”.

He’s really out of touch on most issues. He seems like an ok guy, just delusional.

OK, a hit on any individual...
