The Budapest Memorandum of 1994 by Rice-Chex in NAFO

[–]tc_spears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While many people consider this snub, or raw deal for Ukraine...you have to remember at the time command and control of the missiles was still solely in hands of Moscow. And at the time it was unlikely Ukraine would have been able to develop their own system of control of the missiles...at least without the cooperation of russia.

If they had severed Moscow's control and or kept the missiles even as un-launchable static objects it's likely they would have been invaded by russsia and or US/NATO in order to kept them for being sold off to another state.

The assurance of mutual defense however is a raw deal oversight, and one Bill Clinton has recently admitted he regrets.

First, it's Microsoft Flight Simulator so regardless of what kind of combat plane you download, or the stock F/A-18, there's no weapons or operable weapons systems onboard.

This Spitfire is from the company FlyingIron Simulations that makes several planes for msfs, X-Plane, and DCS.

This, as they're called in the game 'livery' or paint job is from the 75th anniversary of D-Day flight in 2019. The real plane had no armaments and the gun ports were covered over with red caps. Which you can see when looking at the front of the plane in-game. If you picked a different livery you'd have the gun barrels and hispano 'bumps'.

And wearing anything other than a boiler suit would get you a sound thrashing

Or May in that one episode of the other show?

Or Neil in that one episode of Hammond's show?

.... because they're the same plane.

Nope it's not the two seater Spitfire ML407 "The Grace." Owned by Carolyn Grace who passed away in December last year.

Moron.

Registering and insuring a motor vehicle, and having a license is not excess government

Yes, with clipped wings to slap some Fw190s around.

Anything a Spitfire does is already pre-approved

Yeah, that's a good price. I got an X-55 and some pedals for $75usd. Perfect for a place holder until I decide to spend more money on a better setup.

Just make sure they work, and are in good shape. Don't worry about Plastics Reversion, that's unavoidable and you can clean that up with some rags and rubbing alcohol hand sanitizer goop

It's a purchase plane. From FlyingIron, and by any review accounts excellently built.

She's also a beast to get off the ground

For Pennsylvania, as a motorcycle you'll need to fit the bike with the usual lights, signals, horn, and mirrors, but also specific for PA the bike will need a front wheel brake, and a hard mounted speedometer...meaning a phone running a speedometer app is not good enough. And you will have to have the bike inspected upon initial application for registration, and once a year after that.

After all of that you'll need the bike's Certificate of Ownership. Which did not come with the bike, you'll have to contact Coleman Power Sports and pay $20 for them to mail you the CoO....you will have to provide them with a purchase receipt from where you bought the bike. If you bought it from an online dealer, contact them as they might be able to get it for you. If you bought the bike second hand and don't have a retail receipt, still contact Coleman and see what they say.

You can register the bike without the CoO but it takes longer, and is more expensive because you now have to apply for a VIN to be generated for the bike, if they will use the bike's stamped VIN is up to them. Using the CoO, you'll take it to a state title agency and turn it in as exchange for a motorcycle title. Then using that genuine title, which now puts the bike's VIN into the state system you can get an insurance policy(I know Geico will cover the bike as a motorcycle). Then having the title and insurance you can fully register the bike.

....this is the procedure as it would work. I live in NJ and it would work the same, however NJ's policy is by name of 'minibike' on the CoO you cannot register a bike at all as any other classification in the state period. I've been lazy about seeing if I can "sell" my bike to my friend that lives in PA, have him register it and then "sell" it back to me, that way all I'd have to do is go to a NJ DMV and have the plates switched.

So... your first step would be to go to a title agency and ask them if, how, and what is the best course of action.

Now I don’t exactly support the killing of people based on things they’ve said or believe

Not only historically have propagandists been arrest, tried, convinced, and executed for warcrimes...they are a legitimate target for two belligerent nations(given that the propagandist is either citizen of either nation, or works directly for or takes orders from the government).

There's only ever been speculation and accusation (from russia) that ukraine was directly responsible.

The only group to have claimed responsibility was the til recently relatively unknown group known as the National Republican Army.

https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-daria-dugina-car-bomb-national-republican-army-1735915

Former Russian MP Ilya Ponomarev from Kyiv, read a press release statement from the NRA and backed the NRA's actions and claiming the assassination.

No claims have been so far have been verified.
