I use whataboutism to point out the flaw in your argument. You say that RT is state run media and use that as an attack on their credibility. Yet, the state run media on our soil pumps out news and info that defends our decisions over there and you seem to find them credible... even in the face of what we have seen from this same media and govt over the last 2 years with COVID coverage and information.

Again, what decisions have we made, what imminent threat it's being posed to Russia that would give them no option but to invade a small, weak neighbor? The construct you support doesn't stand to basic logical analysis.

78% of Georgians wanted NATO membership in a nonbinding referendum in 2008. I am not aware of NATO membership being remotely controversial in Hungary…in fact, at the moment NATO isn’t a big fan of Orban and “democratic backsliding” under his watch, so it’s more NATO not being a huge fan of him rather than the other way around.

Viktor Orban is a problem.
Hungary's Orbán "Answers" Biden Troop Hosting Request: Flies To Moscow For Marathon Meeting With Putin | ZeroHedge

Last week the Biden administration approached Hungary to formally request that it host a temporary deployment of US forces aimed at Russia, amid the ongoing Ukraine crisis which has resulted in a flurry of diplomatic activity and ratcheting accusations. The country's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto confirmed days ago it had "received an American request about temporary deployment of troops."

It appears the White House has received its answer from the 'wayward' NATO-member ally, as Viktor Orban was in Moscow on Tuesday where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They greeted each other as old friends and settled in for a marathon meeting, which the Kremlin said lasted nearly five hours.

Hagerty tearing the Biden administration a new one. This issue with Russia started soon after the Biden administration started in office. Weakness.

Pentagon details new US troop movements in Europe
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters Wednesday that the current situation around Ukraine “demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on NATO’s eastern flank.”
“To be prepared for a range of contingencies, the United States will soon move additional forces to Romania, Poland and Germany,” he said.
Kirby announced that 1,000 American troops will be repositioned from Germany to Romania, while another 2,000 are set to be deployed to Europe from the U.S. in the coming days.
"The 82nd Airborne Division is deploying components of an Infantry Brigade combat team and key enablers to Poland and the 18th Airborne Corps is moving a joint task force capable headquarters to Germany," he said. "Both of them, as you know, are based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina."
These troops are separate from the 8,500 currently based in the U.S. who were placed last week “on a heightened preparedness to deploy” if needed, Kirby added.

I have shot an ak, and an ar. That's a different kind of gun, and if that soldier were next to me I would rely on her as someone more knowledgeable and experienced than I.

As far as the chess vs checker's comment. You can't go backwards in checkers.

Not really. Fires the same 5.56 NATO round, same basic platform as an AR15. It just has an M203 grenade launcher attached.

Yep. I’ve got a Colt LE carbine in the gun safe that’s the exact same basic weapon just doesn’t have the full fun option. And mine has the barrel ring to even accept the M203

I know a lot of you like to think of a gun as an up close weapon for fighting. It is not, and you don't use a gun like that up close. I would train with a better weapon for "up close." I would say you don't know what you are doing with what you have.

keep that to your extremist gun thread. We have more immediate threats here.
