I was joking but not really. It’s what I would be doing if I were them.

They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.

Classic Crowdstrike!

I wish the old Pizza Huts would come back with the deep dish pizzas and everything. The pizza was so much better back in the day, or is that just me?

Shocker

The last 4 years were some of the best I’ve seen under any president in my lifetime so I wasn’t so concerned. I think a president is 99% who he surrounds himself with and his experience in pulling the levers of government (ie instincts), both of which were guaranteed to be far better than the alternative. If the dems lose because of this decision, it will surely be far worse for the country.

I agree. Best president since Carter. And I didn’t like him at all in the primaries.

It’s only a service if his replacement wins.

I dunno, they need to give something to centrists and independents to win. Kamala’s base is all totally united against trump already I think.

I hope you are right. Not fielding the incumbent is a mistake according to most people who have had good success of predicting elections.

No wang suck for you then.

Ukraine should fuck Hungary so hard at this point.

Yes the Admiral Kuznetsov is a massive piece of shit and shouldn’t be counted anywhere ;-). I would happily take an alternative source if you’ve got one. And yes, Russia is losing more than it’s making. Which means we are on a good path if we can sustain it. My only fear is that with a Trump win and far right parties winning all over Europe, we won’t be able to.

I will take issue with Ukraine being woefully underequipped, though. They weren’t worse off than many European nations and were far better off than the Baltic states are now. Many people are totally ignorant of the large amounts of NLAWs and ATGM’s pumped to Ukraine by the west before the invasion. Without these I think it would have been a very different story. I have a link to some numbers somewhere in my history.

As for a divided Europe, it is a fantasy for now, but the trends are heading in that direction, largely due to Russian disinformation efforts. Unfortunately Putin gets a chance to fuck us up at every election while he will be there until he dies. So time is on his side in that way.

Unfortunately I don’t think I have a single source for this. You would need to read many articles, watch YouTube videos of people who have researched it. But it’s true. And not by a small margin either. For example, for artillery production, or for example tanks, Russia annually produces more tanks than the entire inventory of any country in Europe. It is claimed 2100 tanks total, of which 200 are new ones whereas for example the largest fleets in European countries, built up over decades are only a few hundreds

All of this is true. But Russia is still outproducing the rest of Europe by a large margin. They are failing in Ukraine only because of extensive support from NATO (more than 70% of which is provided by the USA), starting long before the war began. Ukraine would not have been able to repel the invasion without it.

I don’t deny that a united NATO can stop Russia. But Russia can beat a divided one country by country if it’s allowed to happen. And there are many in Europe and the USA working towards that.

Yep

I’m not going to argue with you, Finland is pretty badass, and hence probably not one of Putin’s first targets. But I can promise you that Putin has more artillery units than you. I know this because they have more than all of NATO excluding the USA. They have more aircraft, more tanks, more everything than you. Now the last time you guys went head to head, you inflicted 10:1 losses on them… Which means you have a good chance if it happens again… But like I said, I think Russia learned it’s lesson and will stick to the Baltics, Georgia, Moldova, until it gets strong enough to do Poland.

NATO without the US is barely bigger than Russia’s military. And if some portion of the countries held back forces for their own defense, it’s very possible that Russia could pick countries off one at a time as it has a vastly bigger military than any single NATO country outside of the US, especially the ones it would likely want to start with in the Baltics.

So it all comes down to how unified NATO is and how strong the response is from all together. It’s not a foregone conclusion with many of the right wing pro-putin governments coming into power around Europe and potentially soon in the US.

True, but given how timid NATO has been about attacking Russia so far, I doubt they’d have to defend their own territory much.
