They don't have to stop the tanks. They have to stop the tanks fuel trucks.
And everyone knows that you need F-15s and nukes to stop fuel trucks, right Joe?
Oldest age you can join the Navy is 39.
How did they get a crackhead to join the Navy in the first place? Great way to end up beaching an aircraft carrier.

A man whose last name was Hitler was a better sailor than the son of a career politician. Sad!
 
t.me/ itarmy of WHERE?
Right? I had to do a double-take. How do you fuck up the name of your own country when even if you forgot you can just look at the Twitter trending?

He is killing it. Amazing.
From that stream so far, Trump's categorically dished out based takes on:

- immigration
- canadian freedom convoy
- trans women in sports
- joe rogan misinformation persecution
- masked children and the damages of lockdowns
- big tech censorship
- indoctrination of children in schools

its a full house of talking points, but if only he could deliver...
 
BREAKING: Enraged by her countries actions, russian pilot shaniqua jackson (dubbed "the valkyrie of kyiv") flew her passenger jet directly into the russian ministry of trade buildings (twice!).

The skill and bravery required to pull that twice is something one could only achieve by the power of Allah
 
So the Simpsons invented it but it was common for all of american history, sure man.

I was talking about the formal title. And it's a way that bias gets manifested by people who call people they don't like "formal president".

Nigga, I was alive in the 80's (briefly) and 90's: they used the term "Former President" all the time to describe guys like Nixon and Carter. I remember learning about Richard Nixon's death from my teacher in elementary school in the 90's, and the news video clip she showed us constantly referred to him as Former President Nixon. Everyone ran with it.
 
Let's face it if russia decided to go gloves off total war they would roll Ukraine very quickly. They're being surprisingly careful about all of this.
My assumption is that Russia took one look at the success NATO had in Libya or the success the US had in Afghanistan (initially) and Iraq and thought they could do the same here. Never mind that this isn't how Russia fights wars, just look at Chechnya or Afghanistan. The US has a lot more experience and success at carrying out this sort of precise operation.
 
A while back I wondered if it was to some degree probing except for the effort to envelop and finally capture Kiev. Putin is probably holding back his best troops, for if the second raters and irregular thugs like the Kadyrovtsy do it, all the better. Their mistakes could be a help as it means a potential foe underestimating Russia. My impression is that Kadyrovsky are like Bashi-bazouks, thuggish Ottomans irregulars sent in first, who were often, like the Kadyrovsky spurred by bounties and the prospect of loot. Now that might be wrong, but it is an impression I get. And the Ukies' airforce is holding up well, or better. Making overwhelming power tell perhaps can be hard. Perhaps they hope the airforce would fold as on paper they are so outmatched, and did not carefully plan their destruction. Again, in these early days perhaps Putin is hoping the second raters get the job done.
The Ukrainian Air Force? What AB are the operating from? How are they being fueled? Who's servicing these aircraft? Where is their ordnance? I can understand if this is being done in Poland or one of the Baltic states but I doubt it, as that makes them a legitimate target.
