      Russian Ukraine shenanigans

      By gearhog · Posted

      If it weren't for the US, wouldn't Russia win? Virtually all of our leadership has been saying this. There's countless examples of Ukrainian corruption. It's been over two years. I've lost count of the funding, but I think we're closing in on $200 Billion, yet the front lines haven't moved much at all. What are we going to get for another $200 Billion? Who exactly is bleeding whom dry? It's not apparent. I don't want to believe that maybe we're the ones being played, but I have to wonder. Just a mention of the players involved elicits an overwhelming bias. If we were somehow able to examine this exact same battlefield scenario while replacing the names of the states involved with Moravia, Tiberistan, etc.. I think many people would feel differently. One of us may post a vid of a Russian plane crash, and another responds with Ukr tank on fire. No one knows what's going on. It's all third hand information. The only thing that can be known is that the war is still raging.. when it shouldn't be. If winning this war was as important as they'd like you to believe - it'd have already been over. As I've said before: there's no money in the cure. I'd think by now people would understand the playbook. It's just routine now. 1. Find a crisis and exacerbate it. If one doesn't exist, create it. 2. Full-court press on the propaganda front to appeal to public fear and garner support. 3. Transfer hundreds of billions of dollars from the public sector to the private sector. It's like taking candy from a baby and everyone's falling for it. Every. Single. Time. Let's just admit we're completely lost in apathy and gullibility.

      I could get on board with that, if we can go back to the 1800s where it was pretty easy to simply execute violent criminals, whether through official or unofficial means. But we’re not in the 1800s, so if you get out of prison after violently raping a woman (or man if you’re BQZip’s mom), conducting armed robbery/assault, carjacking, etc. then fuck you, you gave up your right when you acted like a total POS who would have simply been put down in days bygone.    Above answer is directly related to background checks. I only support them to verify you are in fact not a felon.

      Taiwanese U-2 pilot Johnny Shen died last Thursday, age 92   He was a U-2 pilot with The Black Cat Squadron on Taiwan from 1968 to 1973.   He was admitted to the CAF Academy in January 1952, then trained in the PT-17 and the T-6. After his graduation in December 1955, he was assigned to the 4th Tactical Fighter Group in Chiayi.  He was first sent to Tainan to be trained on the T-33, then returning to Chiayi to fly the F-84 in 1956.  Later he converted to the F-100. He left the 35th Sq in 1973 and became the vice military attache in Vietnam.  After the loss of Vietnam, he returned to Taiwan to served on several desk jobs.  He retired from the CAF as a Colonel in 1977 and joined China Airlines, where he flew the Boeing 707, 727, 767, and 747, and Airbus A-300.  He transferred to EVA Airlines in 1992.  Then he returned served in Taiwan's Civil Aviation Administration until 1998.  After retirement, he emigrated to Canada and lived in Vancouver. These guys flew some really risky missions.  Him him...

      Russian Ukraine shenanigans

      By Lord Ratner · Posted

      Bashi is getting a bit close. Continuously proclaiming the inevitability of Russian victory and arguing that Ukrainian corruption sets them up as an unworthy ally. Especially when there are plenty of examples of much bigger countries being defeated/repelled by well-funded underdogs. But he's also just a troll   But yeah, the character attacks as Russian shills is getting old.
