You have a table? The lap of luxury. All we have is a cracker box.Basically we are the prime example of a dysfunctional family sitting around the Thanksgiving dinner table.
Every dysfunctional family has its Uncle Randy… lol
I suggest you drink heavily. I was pre-med in college.
Now I'm so thankful that I'm not a moderator.I'll probably do that.
Poorly enforced harsh reparations, compounded by lying army officers who kept saying they hadn't lost and kept blaming Jews and politicians. The Germans so badly managed their wartime economy that there was massive starvation within Germany well before 11/11/1918My fear is that reparations will simply set up the same scenario we had at the end of WW1, where harsh reparations set the scene for Hitler.
Dare I say that even more importantly, no NATO blood has been lost with the obvious exception of some volunteers who have joined the Ukraine Forces.The cost looks even smaller when you compare it to the GDP.
US Defense Spending (not the Defense Budget) is expected to be ~$1.05 trillion out of an expected US GDP of ~$23 trillion for the year 2022.
The $80 billion for Ukraine is ~0.35% (note that is only a little over 1/3 of 1%) of the expected US GDP for the year 2022.
During WWII the US Defense Spending averaged almost 40% of the GDP for the years 1943-1945.
The West is getting great value for dollar here. We get to kick Russia's ass whilst sitting in our armchairs. And those close to Putin know this, that their leader's idiocy in Ukraine has given the West a golden opportunity to use their latest weaponry, some of it close to expiry and thus ideally suited for immediate use, to knock Russia into bit player status on the world stage, and to likely forever sever Russia's energy monopoly in Europe.Interesting cost - benefit analysis
It’s Costing Peanuts for the US to Defeat Russia
The cost-benefit analysis of US support for Ukraine is incontrovertible. It’s producing wins at almost every level.cepa.org
Fear mongers and sensationalistss are claiming twitter won't last just as they said about Facebook when Zuckerberg made some major changes about 10 years ago.The sun will still rise if Twitter fails, but it could have serious implications for the Ukraine war
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Twitter has been a critical tool for sharing information, influencing Western support and soliciting aid. So, what will it mean for the war if the social media platform collapses? Mick Ryan writes.www.abc.net.au

Concerning lighting farts, at USAFA two class of 60 roommates stuffed themselves with baked beans and just before lights out were observed in the laundry room, one of them propped up butt high having his farts lighted. "Here comes another one" ,etc, etc. A blue flame about 3 inches long could be observed with odor of burned hair. The next morning, both were in the dispensary with 2nd degree burns of the anus. They went on to fly in V.N.And the winner of the Light My Fart contest is.................................................
Oh, oh.... I can't wait to see one captured by the AFU!Possible sign of deployment of Russian T-14 Armata tanks in Ukraine

Off Topic: Actually I really hope it'll die. Twitter is the poison of today's society (not the only one, though).Fear mongers and sensationalistss are claiming twitter won't last just as they said about Facebook when Zuckerberg made some major changes about 10 years ago.
It's not going anywhere.
No, Twitter won't die under Elon Musk
Users expect Twitter won't last long under its new billionaire owner. The stats — and social media history — tell another story.mashable.com
Oh, oh.... I can't wait to see one captured by the AFU!
Though I'd have expected the fleet of gas-turbine powered T-80s would have first been deployed. AIUI, the T-80 has not seen use in Ukraine due to its inefficient and maintenance heavy gas turbine engine. Is the T-14's gas turbine going to be any better?
And now for some Cancon.

Everyone said Facebook and Twitter and would kill the likes of Myspace, Flickr and Tumblr. But nope, they're all still in biz.
What will eventually happen to Twitter is the audience growth will begin to flatten and then decline. But I expect Twitter to exist into the 2030s and beyond.
