he shared RT links but ok 🤷‍♂️

Well, I guess I’ll take someone who has had more business successes than failures over someone who believes a boy can become a girl.  
 

Do you also believe a boy can become a girl?  Seems the vast majority of those opposed to Trump believe so.

Yes, I believe in God.  Do you believe boys can become girls?

Oh God please don't add bitter atheist to your already tiresome persona. 

 

Guys like you are the only thing that make being an atheist embarrassing.

[bfargin]

Oh there are plenty of other reasons to be embarrassed to be an "atheist".

[Banzai]

Oh this is an atheism thread now?

In human history there have been somewhere on the order of 3,000 gods in mainstream religions. You guys believe in one god, which means you do not believe in 2,999 others. What’s one more?

It is actually obvious that we are all atheists. We just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why we dismiss yours.

seems there's just one God that the world uses to denominate the passing of years, decades, and centuries since his Son was born. Funny. literally historical

Please, don't make him correct right after I responded. 

 

Self righteous Christians are just as obnoxious as self righteous atheists.

More recycled  tripe to support your hate of the Orange man because you can;t find an original argument.  I know your side bathes in fake news but made once try some intellectual honesty.

For the record In 2014 alone 5 out of the 14 casinos in the city went out of business.

Additionally, casinos fail and go bankrupt ALL THE TIME:

• Station Casinos (Las Vegas): Filed for bankruptcy and emerged after debt restructuring.
• Riviera (Las Vegas): Bankrupted multiple times before being demolished.
• Caesars Entertainment (International): Went through bankruptcy and debt restructuring.
• Revel (Atlantic City): Filed for bankruptcy.

Russia sucks

[ClearedHot]

Early today Ukraine Special Forces working with FPV drones launched a massive attack on the Russian Air Force.  Early reports indicate as many as 40 Russian bombers have been hit, many of them TU95s.  The destroyed aircraft include Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers, and at least one A-50 airborne early

For context, prior to this attack Russia had an estimated total force of 60 TU95s,  27 TU-22M3s (30 more in long-term modernization status), and 6-10 A-50s.

Things continue to go well for Russia...they are truly in the midst of finding out.

~ $2B in lost or damaged assets. ~ 1000 miles from the front lines in one case. More than 2000 miles in another. Four bases struck.

I'm told this is what winning looks like for them? Victory must be right around the corner. This is a major boon for them.

I hope the US Air Force is paying attention to this and has countermeasures in place.  If the PRC attacks Taiwan and doesn't do the same thing here in CONUS, they would be fools.  Doubtless there are already PRC agents in place given our lax border security and student visa program.

Update: They also hit Severomorsk which is the primary base for Russia’s nuclear-powered submarine fleet and houses two-thirds of its nuclear-armed platforms. Among them are advanced submarines such as the Yasen-, Oscar II-, and Sierra II-class, as well as various special-purpose underwater assets.  Reports of at least one nuclear powered sub on fire pier-side at the base.

It would be so easy to pull off.  Take out a giant chunk of stateside airpower.

If OSI and others aren’t interested in watching self storage places around Dyess, Whiteman, etc they are truly F’ing up.

Stop worrying about catching Joe for throwing a few bundles of bottled water in their Dity move, and worry about actual threats to mission.

If you cant get the planes go for the pilots next. Passive intelligence could probably find the name and address of nearly every pilot in the US Military. Can't imagine what active intelligence could do. Send a kill squad (cartel? spies? poison? gangs? every scumbag has a price?) and no planes are taking off.

If I'm thinking it, they probably are too? It's way easier to fight dirty.

Not enough drones to target all of pilot social media influencers

During the height of the Cold War the Soviet war plan with Sweden was to send in Speznaz teams to kill Swedish fighter pilots!

If I was an enemy commander I would try the same thing, except I would target every Tanker we have in Conus and make our bombers and fighters dependent landing for refuel.

[disgruntledemployee]

Modern day sappers.

Demonstrated, and now every base with aircraft on the ramp is a huge risk.  Anti-drone tech/systems is where our R&D/Acquisition resources need to be focused and fast.  And hard shelters, but those take a lot of space and if you leave the door open, it can still go boom.  

Z made a statement, and maybe the scale was set to what occurred, but what if his army was able to hit more bases, more planes, more radars/AA/Comms/Arty/drone stations/etc?
