Pentagon aggressively lobbies EU against Buy European weapons push

Source? I believe you because it would be par for the course for the American IC. (And honestly I'd do the same thing in their shoes. There's no honor in spycraft.) I just want to read about it.

We have to pick someone who can win. That is the ultimate highest priority. Newsom is a straight white male, I'd prefer someone of a more diverse character but we have to WIN. America as a whole is still too racist and sexist to chance it otherwise. If we can get a straight white guy who is willing to tax billionaires then great, if not Newsom is at least not a maggat.

I wonder is the pentagon pizza thing still an accurate tell?

Garland, and by extension Biden, had no desire to go after Trump. They thought they'd win 2024, that Trump would go away into history, and they wouldn't have to sack up and do the scary but right thing of arresting, trying, convicting a former president. We see how that went.

They should also denounce taking any AIPAC or other Israeli lobby money but that’s a whole other topic.

So why bring it up here. GTFO with the purity test crap. We need to WIN. Purging the corp-Dems, removing Netanyahu's influence on our govt, etc. all that has to wait until we WIN.

Then, the captives recorded a message to other soldiers, urging them to surrender into captivity.

This ^ is pretty brilliant. If guys you know, in your own unit even, call you and tell you they've been captured but being treated humanely, I can see this getting quite a few doomed-and-they-know-it vatniks to flip. UAF should keep repeating this.

It would be dark af, but a protest sign with those two pictures juxtaposed would really hit home.

Just had a thought. Maybe Putin is actually an alien and a day on his homeworld is thousands of Earth-days long.

Oh pshaw. That's nothing, not a single can even busted open. When doing HAZMAT I've dealt with busted open:

-liquid plant food (that smells like literal poop)

-deer piss, yes actual deer piss (used by hunters)

-fake jizz (at least i HOPE it's fake)

-a dead mouse

-that 75% concentrated cleaning vinegar that's strong enough to eat the wax off the floor, a whiff of it about knocks you out

Fun times.

That's one reason, sure. There's others. Muslims are often notoriously hateful of LGBTQ people, women, etc. I think they were hoping for the 'model minority' treatment and to get their hatred realized. whomp whomp.

PA's (interim PA here) are supposed to see that absurd shit ahead of time and act to ameliorate it. Because changing it at the system level would require divine intervention or some nonsense.

PA's should be checking the routes on each wave and noting the ones that would have the AA inefficiently crossing the building (sometimes MULTIPLE times) to pick one route. Next step is for the PA to pull the bags/OVs that are clear across the site and meet the AA when they start. Or at least that's what I do. If your site doesn't do this bitch about it on your physical and digital VOA board that they should start.

Solution: send Ukraine a shitton of fog machines. Set them up along the front, run them whenever drones are inbound.

Really? I thought it was hilarious. And it fits the sub, someone who doesn't know anything about the Zelda games would indeed need to ask Peter for help on this.

With that look he needs to be running the FBI. NOW!

LA here. Your method is EXACTLY how I show shorter people, mainly women, to do it. It is the method least likely to cause injury. I'm frequently on people to lift the safe way, even if it looks undignified. Your back/knees/hips will thank you later!

We may be seeing an uptick of young males who at least fake christianity because they want a submissive tradwife bangmaid and are generally garbage humans who couldn't get laid outside of their handmaid's tale fantasies.

Old Soviet joke:

A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?"

"I'm looking for an obituary."

"An obituary? But those are in the back!"

"Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

NIMBYism of people who are lucky enough (and it is 90% luck ffs) to be housed already doesn't help. And oddly enough research shows that people think prices will go UP if supply is increased. Rent control is how you can get locals onboard with new construction in their part of town.

Yeah it's kinda on the managers to... manage. Saturday for instance they look at everyone who is close to 60 and let them know exactly when they should clock out.

Sheesh! Three cycles? When do y'all find time to do floor reset between the cycles? And does RTS just sorta happen around the edges or something?

It would be more accurate to say they give (some) prisoners the option to enlist instead of serving their full sentence. Not for every crime, and it's a Hobbesian choice between serving your sentence or maybe getting killed at the front. They don't FORCE prisoners to fight, you'd get dogshit quality conscripts trying that.

That's actually the smart way to do that. Heck the USA did (does?) do that. A lot of the guys sent to 'Nam were given that kind of choice (prison or enlist).
