Babel 17

Special materials, maybe depleted uranium, and special construction. So theirs will get regular steel, like the British and Germans use.

Probably won’t get the same microchips that American tanks used, the thinking being that they could soon be in the hands of the Russians, who might find ways to hack the systems they manage.

It’s purpose being that members can disprove that they think Israel has too much influence on our Congress.

Taunting Biden, tasking him?

Lol, I wanted to get in there first! Sad news though, especially for kids, as groundhogs are beloved.

Not really a coincidence, of course, but still! lol

Can Russia’s Combat Robots Compete With U.S. Abrams Tanks?
By Ellie Cook On 2/2/23 at 7:45 AM EST

Russia’s “Marker” combat robot is unlikely to be able to stare down Western-supplied main…

The place is filling up again.

Crackle, Pop, then Snap!

It was pretty brutal in how it depicted the mercenary mentality.

Imo, along with Daredevil and Jessica Jones, it was among the best stuff to come from the MCU.

Stay warm!

For when Russia thinks it has near enough Ukrainian territory under its control, and Ukraine’s military and economy near enough crushed?

Russia agrees to call it quits, the West declares its shipments made the difference?

That could be what some politicians are hoping, but I can see Zelenskyy willing to take some bold risks with the new…[Read more]

Get a confirmed kill of a drone, and you get a chunk of change. The amount was in rubles, and I’ll guess it was beer and pizza money for the soldier and his comrades.

They get more money for taking out bigger targets. Kind of grim considering they’ll often be manned, but if someone is willing to get close enough to an armored vehicle with a…[Read more]

To be part of the Democratic party’s primary process you have to sign a contract, and it stipulates explicitly that you will endorse the eventual nominee.

I’m pretty sure that’s been established. If Sanders felt that he was cheated to an extent that the contract was voided, he could have said so. But he never did.

Funny enough, Tulsi Gabbard had…[Read more]

Ones that Biden either checked out, or was known to be in possession of but failed to leave behind.

If true, and he doesn’t have them, so of course he couldn’t return them, because they are lost or were destroyed, then the information in those documents, under security protocols, have to be considered compromised in that they could be in the…[Read more]

I posted the Rumble link in another thread.

It being unfair to subject innocent people to the ignominy of a public search. lol

Biden might have worn out his welcome, he and Kamala both. There could also be a power struggle going on behind the scenes. If South Carolina doesn’t get bumped up ahead of either Iowa or New Hampshire, we’ll know who lost.

Much of the value of their investment/ownership is dependent on being able to ship freely out of Odessa.

I think Russia would want to have dominated the battlefield so strongly that most of Odessa would be ready to revolt if Russian forces moved upon the city. The troops garrisoning Odessa who weren’t fanatics would be able to read the tea…[Read more]

At least when I last replied to a Sanders email several years ago I got a response from a volunteer who more or less said they knew where I was coming from.

After Hillary lost to Trump it was decided that they were going to scapegoat Bernie (Ralph Nader him) if he made a pain in the ass of himself (Russia’s candidate!). That was an extension of…[Read more]
