Negative, that’s just the strawman thrown out by Putin simps to argue that the current Russian state poses no concern at all to Eastern Europe. Riga/Tallinn ≠ Paris. Trump is right that this is a European problem and NATO has atrophied. Europe needs to contribute more and some are starting, but one major weakness of the West is the DIB. We can’t print F-35s or munitions overnight. Our DIB is slow and obsessed with high end. Boeing is a shitshow. While we try to dig out of that hole, we shouldn’t just about-face and leave our NATO partners in the dust. Trump’s approach is anti-Teddy. Instead of speaking softly and carrying a big stick, Trump runs his mouth and serves up TACOs. Maybe it will work. Regardless of his style, appeasing totalitarian heads of state has proven to be as effective as pissing into hurricane-force winds.

For sure. I think this whole thing is stupid, unless they truly have him dead to rites on something, but I doubt that’s the case. This is mostly a losing move on the Trump admins part, at least I think so with the current info I’ve seen.

That is shitty. Certainly do not wish that on anyone, including Kelly.

So I didn't read the whole thread before the thread revival... But wondering how the civilian T6 IPs worked out.

Something about building your house on shitty sand or something

Well that seems definitive! Thanks lads.

i thought the talking point was putin wants to capture paris?

One of the better uses of AI I have seen to date. Imagining the old lady as Congress. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DAuJ7XTnC/

Toddlers gonna toddle

This is the part where Trump's infantile ego pushes him to stupidity that will cost Republicans everything. I had hoped he could at least make it to the midterms. Oh well.

And they started finding a lot more cracks when the 141s began doing SOLL. Lockheed said we didn't design the plane to do that.

I am wondering when the US government is going to conclude that Putin doesn't want to quit until he crushes Ukraine.

As someone who was court martialed, and someone else here was too, we can both tell you that you can throw out the burden of proof element in a court martial. Court martial are kangaroo courts with their own rules of evidence. It’ll be jury nullification extreme if he picked a panel of officers because they aren’t going to tank their careers by not voting guilty and pissing off Trump.

You do realize this unlocks a terrible precedent, right? When the retired ones on this board spout off their conservative viewpoints and a liberal/left POTUS and administration is in charge, they could they after them if they ever so inclined to do so. All it takes is the wrong person in charge who disagrees with you and has the authority, and backing of the federal government, to fuck your life up.

Mark Kelly is a complete asshat, most recently for this bullshit video. But that said, seems like it’d be a pretty high burden on the prosecutors to prove his action did without a doubt “interfere with the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the armed forces.” How do you quantify that and what evidence may exist that is compelling enough for conviction? Seems like a low Pk win for the Trump admin and a high Pk of giving the left a great talking point of “see, they’re targeting political opponents!” In the end, I doubt many service members actually watched the video and afterwards were too stupid to understand the difference between an illegal order and an order they just don’t personally like. This whole rambling about illegal orders is completely retarded.

Yeah. Play stupid fucking games Win stupid fucking prizes

It’ll fly until they find cracks in the wing boxes like they did the C-141 and they immediately field a replacement.

Former Fox News anchor possibly courts martial retired Navy test fighter pilot and astronaut mission commander. What a time to be alive.

keep telling yourself that. i only see one side offering peace plans.

Biff at MTG’s front door next Friday

Second M2. PSA is honestly pretty solid for range toys. Personally I’d go higher quality for anything I plan on using to save lives (if faced with that situation). I’m assuming truck gun means part of your self defense plan.

Absolutely would NOT buy an ATI, they made shit AKs back in the day so I don't trust them one iota! Palmetto State Armory makes far better AR pistols for not much more!
