I wouldn't read into this very much. Low cloud ceilings put a damper on all kinds of stuff in US Aviation as well.

Gotta use large numbers to get GOPers to give you what you want. My guess is Biden/Zelenskey expect to get far less once the GOP get their hands onto the legislation.

That is the closest he has sat with someone at a table in two years. Give him a break.

That is why I said "full on nuke." 😉

I don't expect a full on nuke being used in Ukraine. The fallout would just go into Russia. Winds *generally* flow west to east. The jetstream is sitting right on top of Ukraine currently and would just pump radioactive crap into Russia.

Easier said than done. Not to mention that Putin is not the only high ranking person in Russia that wants this war. The only way Putin gets removed any time soon would be via an internal movement.

Attack helicopters and tanks really are losing their place in modern warfare pretty quickly...

Ah yes. My pet peeve when flying internationally. Flying in an ICAO country and people not using the standard language (English) thus reducing situational awareness for anyone that doesn't speak the local language. As an example when that 777 does a early go-around I would like to know since that means I will be more likely to be flying through their wake turbulence as a result. Huge safety issue. Especially for small aircraft. That said, I haven't flown a 777 but I do recognize the autopilot disconnect sound. The other sounds like a master caution. No idea what happened but it probably sounds worse than it actually was.

Russia is blaming it on Ukraine. I'm not exactly sure how Russia could spin this one in their favor. Either direction they take is bad for them considering all the propaganda they have been feeding their people.

Perhaps they are collecting troops from other locations to bring to Ukraine like mentioned earlier in the thread?

Once you get too old at Fox News you need to go with the CBN look in order to bring in those boomer views.

He could just be referring to Hitler sticking to conventional warfare on the battlefield. That said comparing Putin to Hitler won't be the best. Putin is his own version of evil and I would definitely plan for the worst.

Not invade Russia. Take back Crimea. Just part of their propaganda.

Well, considering German intelligence was completely wrong from the start I would say they could be having a knee-jerk reaction.

So it could be only one Israeli dead or the convoy. Definitely will be interesting to see the response. A direct attack should trigger a response.

I didn't recall the video being from them. If it was then yes, they would likely even attack and do the same thing. I'm just saying the action itself (outside of neo-Nazis) is not necessarily born out of hate but a potential counter to an invading force. Edit: We can stop. I ultimately am just starting to get pissed off about how terms get misused and diluted within culture when they should have an impact. Carry on with the tweet feed 👍

This is war. No way to know if the strategy works or not. It's entirely possible for people to do it for just the mental impact and not actually hate the race or religion. They are the invading enemy. If the video was from Azov then it likely has more meaning attached. The action itself isn't racist or necessarily prejudiced.

I reread your statement and revised mine. Didn't get to it quick enough... That said the "Mormans" in this case are intending to bring guns and kill the people in the town. They are the attackers.

Not anywhere close. Last I checked the Jews in your scenario weren't coming into town with guns. This is war.

Like @mclumber1 said, Islam is not a race. It is a religion. It is practice by all sorts of races. It also isn't a stretch to assume a majority of soldiers that Syria would send over would be Muslims. The mental warfare with the pig fat could actually save lives on both sides. If Syrians bail out then that is less Syrians and Ukrainians dead. Overall a good thing yes?

Perhaps. I am just calling out a poor use of terms that really makes the left look like idiots. Just like that pig fat thing from earlier. Also not racism. Unless the guy was saying racist stuff in the video the action itself is no more than mental warfare.

And that right there is why the label has lost its impact.

He isn't correct but leaping to it being clear racism is a stretch. That is my point. There is a good chance he is simply ignorant of their differences in general. We don't know which means throwing out labels is premature.

If they weren't different then why do they fight back? They clearly don't want anything to do with Russia. That said I wouldn't necessarily say it is racism. Their cultures do have some overlap and that may be what he is referring to (I didn't watch the video just FYI).

They are smart but in a complex way that falls apart in a few years and costs a shit ton to fix...
