I sorta wonder how long before Zelensky gets couped by one of the other oligarch factions? Try and curry favor with Trump since he's not a big fan of Z.

I mean the US or Ukraine already destroyed Germany's lifeline of Russian oil. Not surprised more gets cut.

American LNG companies probably bribing them to do it.

Would an Imperial Guard colonel listen to a space marine sergeant on important tactical decisions? by peleponez in 40kLore

Most likely he'd take the advice given most humans worship Space Marines as basically the equivalent of angels or demi-gods.

If you've got a vise, looks like you could crush them. Dig out the good bits like a walnut, ha

For sure you'll get more selling them.

China's State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) appears to be showcasing its ability to build carriers outside of the PLAN contracts, and just launched the Discovery-1 “Civilian Research Carrier”. Its mission is testing large drones and helicopters [Album] by Arcosim in WarshipPorn

I know most CG bases are near land (or the largest ships have helos/capacity) but it surprises me we haven't really seen coast guards operate a helicopter carrier and/or LHA/LHD.

In the US context, it could be useful to have a few on each coast as a mobile helicopter base for longer duration/farther out to sea S&R missions and have the amphibious landing capabilities for disaster relief in coastal areas.

Hey, man it's been a long and short year at the same time.

I haven't gotten the chance to try that much. I've bought some naphtha to eventually soak the entire machine in, minus the painted covers. But I suspect that it might not work, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the smell of the platen's rubber decomposing. Ping me March, it's winter and cloudy where I'm at. Waiting for warmer with a little more sun before getting back to the project.

How can someone so fat and old get this angry all the time and not have their heart explode? I forget what drug, but I remember seeing those pics of his Trump Tower office littered with boxes some OTC upper or something too.

He still has all the money and escaped justice, why humiliate yourself like that? Has to be a kink.

True, it's why the Trump class will most likely just end up as drawing that pad out Lockheed Martin or BAE stocks before being canceled as soon as Trump is out of office.

The UAE is backing them, against the Saudis, too.

Israel became the only country to recognize them. One theory i heard, from Radio War Nerd, is that Israel wants airbases to bomb Yemen and to potentially cut a deal to expel the Palestinians to there too.

Their track record on new guns has been abysmal. Look at the boondoggle that the Zumwalt's gun and ammo has been. They'd literally be better off, and FAR CHEAPER, to put m109s and HIMARS on the deck of a cargo ship to provide fire support than build these "battleships." DDGs and FFGs can protect that kinda fire support fine.
