Will it? Putin won't leave without leveling the place in a temper tantrum to save his ego anyways. The West will be the ones who end up footing the bill and donating money to help rebuild the place. Small price to pay for the Ukrainians shedding blood to fend off the Russians. As sad as it is, the US spent years and trillions on weapons preparing to fight the Russians, and now somebody else is doing it for us. Least we can do is let them try and send the Black Sea fleet to the sea floor. Tragic, but I have seen enough of cruise missiles smashing into random apartment complexes. I'm sure we have some dusty harpoons that we're gunna be scrapped anyways. Light em up.

Training:

I hope MX had their cyber awareness CBT complete, my whole shop was overdue by a month, it's a wonder that we got anything to fly. My learning stated I never had to take it again when I took it a year ago.

For anyone that may still be wondering, Oregon updated their website this morning with this: "Thank you for your interest in the Oregon Air National Guard. The invitations for the 2022 Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) Selection Board have been sent. If you did not receive an invite, our next application window will open in December of 2022." Best of luck to those invited. Also got an email from DC this morning with this: "First round interview notifications will be sent out in April and will be conducted remotely. Second round interviews will take place in-person at JB Andrews – tentatively scheduled for May 13-15."

Here’s how the Senate hearings on Biden’s SCOTUS nominee is going…

SocialD, you should feel privileged. You are literally living the real life “checks in the mail” maxim. Your check has just been in the mail for 4+ years.

Billy Mays here, but WAIT, there’s MORE! the “combat footage” sub Reddit is awesome.

You're the man, I was about to do that this week as well. DM'd, can't wait to get to know some folks headed there!

Of course I have, but I'm also not dumb enough to think personal purchasing is equivalent to foreign policy. I do go out of my way (and spend more) to avoid Chinese goods where I'm able. Where has it gotten us? Literally the free-est and most prosperous the West (and the rest of the world largely) has ever been. South Korea and Taiwan are certainly better off. Germany, the rest of the EU, and Japan are looking pretty great too. I'm sure Israel appreciated our intervention. Sitting out Rwanda, however, was a bad look, and one of Clinton's biggest regrets. And when we pulled out of Vietnam there was an unfathomable slaughter in Cambodia. Afghanistan isn't looking to great, but I suppose zero deaths in the year prior to the withdrawal was too high a price for the "no more foreign wars!" crowd. It's trendy right now to act like our history is some comedy of errors. It's intellectually hollow and incredibly self-righteous to retroactively interpret history in the most negative light. The world is immeasurably better for billions of people as a direct response to US power projection. "The better part of a century" with American "interventionalism" has been pretty fucking good compared to the better part of a millennium without it.

Just ask for the pilot ony package. It's pretty easy to get as nobody really wants to be a pilot.

It's up there but 13NX is the most sought after.
