  1. Bro, some opinion pieces aren’t solid evidence for why we should believe that Putin’s persona is justified for seeing every country around him as a threat.
  2. Or, hear me out here, YOUR opinions are based on a similarly perilous theory.
  3. Nah bro, I never said only war is a solution to this but keep trying to build paper tigers to fight.
  4. Actually, he has consistently been arguing that we must accept Putin’s viewpoint as valid, or maybe you haven’t been reading it closely.
  5. It doesn’t mean it’s a sentiment we have to validate as acceptable in the world forum. That’s the part that YOU don’t get.
  6. Orrrrrr does Putin just paint it that way on the world stage. No question he wants the glory of the soviet union but is it actually a threat or does he just say it to give himself a pretext.
  7. Except that what you said is that an alliance implies violence, which is patently false. Are you following your own arguments?
  8. The government of a sovereign nation is the people’s contracted arbiter of political violence; an alliance to further the interests of a nation imply no more violence than the existence of the sovereign government that carries out political violence for its people. Ukraine isn’t out to invade or encroach upon Russia, even if it signs a defence pact.
  9. Belarus positioning itself to be a forward deploy location for Russian nukes, per wsj article. Fun times!
  10. You’d think the agency would be all over an app like that; something so simple that would frustrate the shit out of an advance.
  11. 2nd to the above. Learning the contract and work rules is kind of a job in and of itself for the first 2-3 months, but good to accomplished on reserve or at cruise as applicable. Learning the shenanigans crew scheduling may try to pull from the regional guys, running things past the captains, or by experience is like any other threat. Avoid and suppress, then funnel up to union rep.
  12. Russians lost at hockey? Probably go time.
  13. More that there were so many assignments available even the bottom of the class was getting them.
  14. They’re already at the UN saying there’s a genocide in Donbas against Russian speakers. Can’t wait.
  15. Not yet. I’ll have to look for it, but I did watch this one:
  16. Maybe he meant to post the one from yesterday?
  17. If they stick an accurate FPM on that display, would make it less weird probably…but otherwise yeah.

  19. Also another shoutout for Jon and Trident. Similar results about a month ago for a 2.25% and 5% down.
  20. It was likely the flippant and polarizing way in which you have supported those positions to which he was referring, but keep self-generating examples of polarized bs with zero self awareness.
  21. In the future I might buy that, and agree we should pursue aggressively because in the present my LNAV/VNAV system still pushes the throttles up as it simultaneously tells me drag is required to meet the next altitude/airspeed in the descent. And predator based systems still turn the illogical direction given the choice…but that’s probably just one GA software engineer from the 90s still screwing the AF. P.S. George if you just don’t add power you’ll be on path and it will be fine.
  22. There may be a spectrum of autonomy where that capability could exist, but have you seen our current level of demonstrated autonomy in action, whether military drones or like full on commercial airline autopilots? Leaves a LOT to be desired.
  23. I was going for just after Olympics closing ceremonies, but interesting if he has the balls to do it during the games.
