    The UK announced a massive military package for Ukraine today, including a new batch of storm shadow missiles.

     

    I hope the real gift the US and UK give is permission for their missiles to be used on targets inside Russia.

     

    I'd like to see Ukraine use a swarm of low cost airborne drones to overwhelm air defense around the Kerch bridge, followed closely by a barrage of long range cruise missiles.  Maybe the same against the remaining naval assets in the Black Sea.

    I think a more effective reform would be to reform the entire Federal Court system. 

    • District Judges are randomly assigned to districts and reassigned to a district randomly every 5 years (1/5th of each district court moving each year). 
    • Appeals Court Judges are also reassigned to a different Circuit Court every 5 years same as District Judges. 
    • The Supreme Court will only have a permanent Chief Justice. 13 Associate Justices will be randomly selected from among Appeals Judges from each Circuit serving a 13 year term (one new and retiring Associate Justice every year). Chief Justice gets a double vote in the event of a tie. 

    I don't think you need a Constitutional Amendment for any of this. 

     

    Nice. I could support that.

    "HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT ROMANS AND PHARISEES THAT DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH ME LIVING BY HANGING ME ON THIS CROSS INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY JERUSALEM, A NOW FAILING CITY, LIKE "DERANGED" PONTIUS PILOT, WHO IS EVIL AND "SICK," MR. JUDAS "JUDE" ISCARIOT, WHO SAID HE HARDLY KNEW THE ROMANS, ONLY TO FIND THAT HE BETRAYED ME FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER - A PITIFUL AMOUNT OF MONEY BY THE WAY - LONG BEFORE THE CRUCIFICTION OF JESUS CHRIST BEGAN (AND THERBY MAKING THE CASE AGAINST ME NULL, VOID, AND ILLEGAL!) SO UNFAIR! THIS CRUCIFICTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT, IS BREAKING THE LAW IN DOING SO, WAS TURNED DOWN BY ALL OTHER ROMAN GOVERNORS, AND IS NOT A CRIME. JESUS 4 KING! HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY!"

    I think the boat is owned by a company in Hong Kong but operated and maintained by a different company based out of Singapore which is a shell company (actually it's multiple shell companies, like a shell company inception) that's been setup specifically to shield the parent companies involved from things just like this.

     

    I'm no expert on international law, but I think it's going to be complicated.

     

    You are probably right.  Which is why it's a good thing that the federal government is pledging that they will front the cost of cleaning up the wreckage and rebuilding the bridge.  Clawing the money from these companies could take years.
