Like drawing a picture of Pitbull from memory.

Uh, more like “Escape from New York”

What a weird thing to say.

Edit: lol, 1 day old account

This is a child’s thinking. A child wants the bully to get punched in the nose. An adult knows that this comes from insecurity. Bullies do not fear violence, they fear ridicule.

Lol. Pickleball stuff is getting more expensive than tennis equipment. It’s actually a good time to get into a real sport.

You can buy new tennis balls for like $1 each, while pickleballs are more. Think about that: tennis balls are rubber and fuzz, hard to make. Pickleballs are just plastic. Same with the racquets. Pickleball stuff is just plastic and maybe a rubber grip. Tennis racquets can be all kinds of expensive carbon fiber.

Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.

Like I said, I’m not an expert but I think big drones that can take down a bridge aren’t piloted by two dudes in a bush.

Ok then, fighter-bombers or more artillery. If the bridge is in range of Ukrainian drones, then the drone base station is in range of counter fire.

Well I’m not an expert, but it’s possible to use cruise missiles and long range bombers to provide cover for the few days it might take to evacuate. Maybe they are busy blowing up apartment buildings and hospitals though.

Ukrainian forces were "striking pontoon bridges and engineering equipment in the western part of their operational zone

These engineers have a shit job if the military is forcing them to work under fire. Usually you try to defend the less armed part of the military (medics, command, engineers, supply) because that’s what really powers the organization. If you can’t defend your weak spots, you are going to lose.

They were not that close, they just drove in from Belarus and dropped some paratroopers with no support. That’s a good strategy for losing your best troops.

They also didn’t use a few days of bombing to soften up the targets. Ukraine was surprised but all of their equipment was intact. That’s like number one in any attack plan.

They basically underestimated the Ukrainians and thought they would just run away. Those paratroopers were very good but they are only scary to local police, not to a trained military. Without heavy support, they were sitting ducks at the airport.

I’m not sure I buy the pricing-people-out angle either tbh, we have a pretty rich market of MVNOs who act as an anchor on the MNO pricing, and it would look like anti-competitive market collision if suddenly the operating costs for these companies went up after a merger.

Do you think that would change anything? After the merger it’s hard to walk it back. People would scream about “losing jobs” or something.

The point of a merger is to make more money, both through improved pricing power and through lower costs.

So you are against the Russian military invading Ukraine in 2014? And again in 2022? And Syria in 2015? And Georgia in 2008?

Russia can end the fighting just by leaving Ukrainian territory. You are “against war”, so why not advocate for that?

Edit: just ignore this guy. His posts are mostly downvoted.

“Brown people”? There are plenty of brown people around the world who don’t practice arranged marriage. Also, it was very common in Europe prior to the Enlightenment (I may be off on the exact timing).

It has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with human rights, as the other person said.

Did you miss the entire occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan? Billions were spent on rebuilding those countries, but the Taliban and Iranian backed militias destroyed a lot of it.

I noticed that you mentioned Syria, which was a civil war that no one mentions anymore. It was part of the Arab Spring and didn’t really involve the US. The only people who care about Bashar Al-Assad are his cronies in Syria, his Iranian supporters, and the Russian government (which supported him because they have a navy port in Tartus).

Are you an Iran supporter or a Russian?

Bitcoin is just a scam in general.

“Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”

“What can I do with it?”

“Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”

“Baghdad Bob” memes

Those didn’t exist. You’re confusing “memes” created by individual people and media bias.

we glossed over how precarious and unsustainable our charge into the center of Iraq had left the US military

The US military destroyed the Iraqi army, almost too well. The army was disbanded and former members joined the insurgents. Militarily it was a huge success. The failure was not gaining the consent of the governed, which is necessary in any modern country.

News reports are not “trying to present Russia as weak”. They legitimately are weak. Do you think the US or NATO would have any trouble rolling Ukraine if it only had Russian support? No troops would be on the ground but Kiev would be rubble within two weeks.
