War in Ukraine

[RDU VOL#14]

I want one. The MIG-29 is a nasty looking beast. Of course, I can't afford shipping and handling ... or the cost of flying one, but it would make a heck of a statement sitting in the driveway.

What kind of MPG you get on that thing ?

It really depends on if it's in eco or sport mode.

Too hot for TV...

Is my claim based on facts that Russia (Soviet Union) invested far more into biological warfare than the US? Yes, you are welcome to research the Soviet Union's biological weapons program. It dwarfed the US' program in terms of investment and duration. Who did we bomb back to the Stone Age for their biological weapons program? I assume you are referring to Iraq and no we didn't bomb them back to the Stone Age but I agree that was a stupid war as is the current war in Ukraine.

Regardless who had the biggest program, we still had them. It doesn’t make us any less innocent and the point of being hypocritical that Russia pointed out...will live on. We spilled a lot of blood to take out alleged hoarders of (call them what you want)...biological, chemical, WMD’s...while being one of worlds leaders of stockpiling them ourselves.

I got a feeling it's like thousands of dollars per hour ... just for fuel. I always envied the Swedes when you see one of their fighters parked beside a house ... they went big on the dispersal concept and roads for runways. They probably don't do it these days, but the pictures were neat.

I want a T-80U. I’ll settle for a cheaper trim T-72.

Every time I saw one of those photo radar vans, I really really wanted an RPG.

I wonder why we havent seen any T-14s rolling into Kiev yet.....

Word of advice for these guys: watch out for slippery areas around high windows.

Indeed. Auto-defenestration seems to be rather epidemic in those parts doesn’t it?

I wonder if
a: they're not all that was advertised and not ready
b: being held in reserve to use against Frontline nato units
C: they were just way too cocky and underestimated Ukraine more than it already looks like.

 

[Pacer92]

Wow..

As I said, I am fairly confident his own people would not hit the button if he ordered it at this point. His objective now is to stay alive and live to fight another day. If he dropped one, every missle in the universe would go down directly on his local, and he knows it, but he will go "scorched earth". Many will be suffer. One way or the other.

 

[chatsworth_vol]

Hopefully this is just pulling back to either stop or regroup. Now hopefully this isn't like some Clancy type novel plot, where they're planning on something STUPID (NBC) and just moving back a safe distance.

If your argument is that the market hasn't adjusted for the **** show that will be Russia market the day they re-open then you are wrong

The percentage of S&P 500 sales that are in Russia is like 0.1%.

 

[volinbham]

Wow..

It's not hate speech if it's against people Facebook hates...

Could be true - could be Ukrainian propaganda.

Yeah, but you also think Kamala is amazing.

It has been widely speculated that decorated War hero and Climate change guru John Kerry suggests that all fighters be flown in Eco mode during each mission.

They only have about a hundred or so. I’d guess he’s holding them back ultimately for the defense of Moscow

I pray you're right. It would take an absolute madman to order that, and absolute robot to carry it out.

I saw retired General Paul Eaton on tv today. He said the Russian military has has been incredibly incompetent so far and totally underestimated the Ukrainian resistance. It wouldn't be surprising to see a few Russian generals heads rolling down the Kremlin steps.

Sheit. Getting fired as a general increases thier life expectancy mucho.

MADAM VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS laughs in the face of BS before it ever comes out of your mouth. I see no problems.
