Yeah, I don’t get people vacationing there.

Hey I have been rooting for Bernie from the sidelines for decades.

And BoJo’s, and Truss’s and Farage’s.

Yes, that is how it works. Their electorate chose Biden so they run that candidate. And that also means circling the wagons around him.

I just hope all the disillusioned people still vote for him, as the rest of the world cannot handle another trump term. Trump exemplifies a lot of what is wrong with the world, and we don’t need another 4 years of a loudmouth, lying, traitorous wannabe dictator who will show the world how he can cozy up and embolden actual dictators and take the reigns of big corporations to continue to rape the planet for profit. That is just too bad of an example.

Yeah, governments, employers, all who hold power over others love to say people voluntarily agreed. But this is what it means to be voluntold.

They did. The license was suspended in 2021. The actual finalnsteps of the proces allows everyone to be heard.

The way fines should be constructed. As a percentage of something’s worth.

I had the same thought.

Gene stealers, Lictors, a carnifex here or there.

Strategic bombers are used to launch the hypersonics at Ukraine. They are rarer so a high value target. If they can cut of kinzal at its roots.

Arctic ocean. I did a literal translation from Dutch… which made sense but was wrong. Sry

I was more referring to using a containership in the northern ice sea to launch a single wave of UAVs to destroy the Russian strategic bombers parked north of st petersburg. You know a one time strike option.

Or use clandestine means to build Magura type drone boat in the Caspian sea and launch against a vessel. You know, even more asymmetric. Like what they do in Syria and Africa.

Long range atacms and maybe a few cruise missiles that can take out an airfield. In no way does Russia have any air defense put back that far behind the lines.

I’m just surprised Ukraine has not resorted to attacks from an ocean faring ship up north yet.

Yes, but the moment you tighten immigration and say stuff like we can’t help everyone, the radical left immediately brands you a nazi, same as the constant harping about centrists.

In the end there are problems with migrants and these need to be adressed. Povery Beiing an important one, but culture and language as well.

At the same time you also need to not forget the smaller towns. Once bus service stops and the last local grocery store closes, it’s dead. So then what. People left there feel forgotten, because they are. The free market deemed them unprofitable and left them behind.

Company sued government for not adhering to contract.

The moral outrage should be at the people involved in the contract negotiations for the government and the fucker who ended up signing said contract. That group of persons and their entire genepool should be made to fill the vacant spots.

We had something a little similar here. Local government had a contract with an incineration company for trash. Then we started separating our trash more for recycling. And the local government is now BUYING trash from Italy and trucking it here to be incinerated because that is cheaper than the fines in the contract.

That makes sense. Although a lot of navy power is smaller ships, frigates and such.

But also the emergence of the drone boat in its current form was for sure hypothesized but now that they are here, the race is on to find a solution.

And several types of ships simply have no alternatives. Carriers, helicopter carriers, amphibious transport ships, oilers.

I have no clue what kind of penetration a phalanx has, but Magura is armored… there I also don’t know if this is just against small arms but I’d imagine a bit more. Also a drone boat is not shaped like a normal boat. It is flat with a sloped top so even chance of glancing blows.

They are… gun based ciws can easily be used against ribs and such. I just don’t know if a drone boat ban be armored enough to withstand the onslaught.

Because it was a bet either way. Indeed your stalemate. After this there might have been other legal avenues that the US would have attempted… prolonging the whole ordeal.

Especially the human aspect. Government employees just go home at the end of their day and sleep fine. Assange spent his time in an embassy/prison while this whole ordeal went through. Now it is over.

The US did not have him in one of their actual prisons, but they did imprison him for over a decade.

Sure pointing to Russian incompetence is easy. I would like to see how NATO ships fare in a training exercise against a pack of 10 Magura V’s. I’ll bet they will find it is much harder than they thought.

These things are so low in the water they dissapears between the waves for radar and other tracking systems, they can move slow to get close and be within the outer defense layers before they are spotted. And now they even come with deployable mines, grad missiles or even anti air missiles.
