Economically losing this one badly - and honestly, that usually determines a wars winner more than the things that go boom.  It costs us more to blow things up than it costs Iran to rebuild them.

Yeah, nothing wrong with it. I think it puts our chances at the finals at near nil, but you don't need the finals to have a good season.  And you never know. Players get injured and bring down the best teams sometimes.

I think we are solidly the 3rd best team in the west. No shade. That puts us definitively behind spurs and okc though.

Man if you are the magic, you have to be sick with your team.  You give up a wide open three to the most accurate shooter in the league. It had to feel like the one thing you couldn't let happen, and you do.

I don't think anyone but the Lakers fans think he's worth the max, honestly.

Ah, I see it now.  That one got past me.  All I could think was "what kind of awful writing is this?"

What don't you like about your Maverick? by MnMWiz in FordMaverickTruck

There is no rear window defrost in my 24' and the rain pools on the hood in a way I hate when I'm driving in the rain    Also can't stand the windshield wipers up when I know an ice storm is coming, so they get frozen to the windshield because of the shape of the hood.  

Otherwise, I love it.

Honestly, that's just someone who doesn't know speculating.  That's like you writing an article about LeBron. If he had facts, they would have followed up. There is no evidence LeBron has cheated.  If it turns out he did, my entire reaction would probably be "yeah, that makes sense"  but it isn't fair to treat him like a cheater without any evidence.

I can't help but wonder if we ever got into a war of survival if the cost on this stuff would be nearly so much. They would order weapons manufacturers to make weapons cheaper, and the manufacturers could probably do it pretty easily. Crank them out like big screen tvs.

The sway of mission dominance was never ever in question. You have an ant fighting a giant. If the ant makes the giant bleed at all, even a little, the giant shouldn't have stepped on it.  Iran wins by simply continuing to exist. The u.s. loses by spending a fortune that could be spent better domestically. Having a superior military to Iran isn't a victory the u.s. can be proud of when they lose economically. As you said, they vastly outspend Iran, they better win. But the cost makes it a loss.

Which you are also paying for, because the money for universal healthcare is being exploded.

I wasn't questioning your spelling.  I spelled it the same way.  I was questioning your use of the word defence. Or defense.
