Certainly, I would never ask you to trust in people doing the right thing. But you can probably trust in Ukraine and the European allies acting...
I’ll once more lead with I don’t want any of that to happen and I don’t think it will, but in the event it does I continue to be amazed with...
Sure, but until what end? Will that magically grant Russia air superiority and get them maneuvering again?
No need to hope. That’s exactly what would happen. Excellent questions. But lots of stuff would have to happen before that. What happens when the...
I don’t doubt they would be. I do doubt that we would tell Ukraine that this joke of a deal was our framework for negotiations unless we wanted...
So it’s a “confidential plan,” but we have it here on Too Hot? Deep breaths, everyone. No deal at all is going to come out of this meeting....
That’s an awful lot of bad luck on those ships carrying Russian contraband, isn’t it?
If that happens, I’ll be the first to say you’re right. But I remain unworried. NATO is going nowhere.

That is one possible outcome, I agree. But my point remains that Russian political/economic stability is the key variable here, and that situation...
Request a link. On its face, that seems like a silly thing to say. The Russian navy, what's still above the waterline, is a joke. Now if he was...
I understand the pessimism, my friend, especially after the football season you had ;). But I have to repeat a caveat: Ukraine had no such...
Stop digging. You were clearly confusing direct vs. indirect with ballistic vs. precision-guided. The point remains the same: even if...
No, “indirect fire” is not whatever you say it is. It’s as simple as this: does the shooter see the target with a direct line of sight or not. Not...
Oh, dude … That was exactly like you wanting to have a complex discussion about Albania and then letting it slip that you think an Albanian is...
What you are saying just isn’t so. I doubt you’ll find a single career military person who thinks Ukraine could have taken back Crimea in 2022...
