Got to hear General Breedlove speak the other day here at War College. I have signed a nondisclosure agreement about everything said in those...
Ukraine Gains Momentum in East and South
Yeah, but I’ve said similar things before and received even worse for daring to tempt the political gods. It can always be worse.
First, no, not intel (aviation), and no special insight. If I was actually in that part of the game, then I wouldn’t post here. Second, in all...
No, thanks. I would be in for a slow, painful death once the local area ran out of omeprazole (prilosec). Acid reflux might be a minor nuisance...

So they would have retreated more slowly and taken greater losses?
Uh huh. Who asked? Specifically. Always get suspicious when people use the passive voice. And did whoever also ask for Russia to leave behind its...
My take is it would be an Article V trigger if they did. But given how this Administration does not want to do even the common-sense measures to...

Assuming your theory is correct, I still fail to see any actual benefit from it. And I have quite an imagination. If true, it would remind me of...
