i support them. but it's not a blank check. ukraine is not going to expel russia out of the donbass or crimea. and likewise russia is not going to annihilate ukraine. therefore a middle ground solution exists. i'd tell zelensky to find it. and if he can't then we will dictate the terms to him. our american foreign policy should not be led by a third world, corrupt ex-soviet nation. and we certainly shouldn't be seduced into WW fucking THREE by a ukranian actor.

kind of like my minority opinion on the vax and fauci and lockdowns... yeah cause our foreign policy has been SO well run post WWII let me count the successes!!! oh wait... ukraine is being used as a chess piece on the board...don't give me this "support the ukranian people" bull shit...if we really cared about them we'd have not pushed nato up to the border of russia since 1990

this is why its dangerous to stick our nose where it doesn't belong. Ukraine means NOTHING to the US. NOTHING. it's not a NATO country. it has ZERO national security implications for us. well maybe something to the bidens...$$$...

why do you want to utterly destroy russia? and replace it with what? haven't we already learned this nation building lesson before?

Underestimate the Russian bear at your own risk. How many more hundreds of billions should we be willing to invest in the most corrupt country in Europe?

mobilization

sounds like zelensky needs to start negotiating for peace before he gets steamrolled this spring

holy shit

danger didn't you guys find the 23mm and kill it before the helos flew over it? my memories are hazy...but i remember watching the absolute chaos unfold in the TOC. there's also a story about 3 x u-28s working a crazy stack one night that deserves to be told...one day...

just like EVERYONE said if you get the vax you CANNOT GET COVID

nothing will change when the same "leaders" in charge of the afghanistan debacle are still in charge. show me one senior leader who resigned or was fired...they weren't. in fact they doubled down and called it a success. cowards. all of them.

we are making a huge strategic mistake escalating this conflict the biden administration needs to be providing off ramps for both sides and not stoking the flames of war with russia. my hope is cooler heads are prevailing behind the scenes that we aren't privy to.

this could happen to anyone here. in both airplanes. in both seats.

So you think the WEF or WHO has zero influence in the affairs of nation states? That’s a very naive take and one that the head of the WEF disputes.

You have nothing but insults to dispute what I’m saying. THIS is the power grab I’m talking about.

the WEF and WHO. that's where your power grab is happening. US domestic politics are a smoke screen and they're just actors executing the script that the people who hold real money are writing

all of this statement is not true. if the government/fauci didn't know, then why the urgent memo from fauci to censor the barrington declaration scientists? fauci and his thugs are the ones who doubled down and illegally broke the first amendment by colluding with social media to censor/block any viewpoint they deemed untrue. early on we knew masks didn't stop the spread. we quickly knew it was airborne transmission, but to this day i still see people whiping down surfaces. there's a HUGE coverup going on by the left/fauci/CDC/media talking heads....why is that? why did fauci lie in his congressional testimony about gain of function research? this was a huge power grab, and a few key government deep state power brokers knew exactly what was happening and exactly what they were doing.

Over/under if our brave Adam cries on CNN?

do yall seeing the battery storage/powerwall getting exponentially better/cheaper in the next 5-10 years? i'm hoping it is akin to flat screen tvs and how they started super expensive but now are relatively cheap.

yes it can. sounds like your a climate extremist

wait you'd take 11/hr over 220/hr? much like AD the airlines don't care about you. no major company does. the beauty of the airlines is i know this, and know what levers to pull in order to maximize my QOL/days off/pay. blending the ratio of those three is in the eye of the beholder. feigning sickness or hiding behind the uniform have nothing to do with anything. sick leave/mil leave are negotiated benefits and the rules both sides play by. know the rules and play the game (just like on AD/AGR) on AD you generally don't have a say in days off/pay/QOL airlines aren't for everyone, and it sounds like you found your niche at mother RND...and that's a good thing! cheers to 2023!

100% spot on. that's why only put in the work if you're willing to see how it will benefit you on the outside. bettering your resume at the expense of the US government $$$ is never a negative play unless you think the time sink isn't worth it. in my case i didn't think the time was worth it. and for me that was the right move.

had a sq/cc say that to my face 1 month out from terminal leave. "how does it feel to be a quitter" he wasn't joking. jokes on him though. how commanders say that to men/women who have given up 12 years of their life is the epitome of tone deaf

get a masters to better your resume and employment opportunities/compensation on the outside don't get it just to make rank.

covid and climate change are power grabs of enormous scale
