32 now and I actually like it. I hope it will taint my profile in a positive way

I'm not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.

It's easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.

They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.

It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again

All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability


even for national-level strategic sites.

They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.

Pitiful.

As an army veteran, I have always found the naming of military facilities for shitty racist losers to be blatant pandering and a poor consolation prize to the wounded sensibilities of 'the lost cause' etc

There was nothing noble about any of that shit, it was 100% about slavery and to be fair, more or less the entire country had been implicitly or explicitly involved in the practice from colonial times.

So perhaps the consolation prizes and TYFYS-ism of it all was warranted for a period. But that period is well over by now.

How is this a "bombshell"??

No shit Sherlock there is intel that's not immediately shared, or is shared with conditions. In fact, virtually all shared intelligence comes with conditions.

I came to the comments because of that discrepancy

Someone has no idea how memes work

And this is related to the relative capabilities of USA vs Russian in terms of logistics.

The Americans can generally afford the fuel, and the logistics tail to keep it flowing.

Russia cannot.

How well the M1A1 serves Ukraine remains to be seen, but so far they've gotten pretty fantastic performance out of every weapon system they've been given, from Javelins to Patriots.
