    bro, pardon the friendly, fire back, and no disrespect, but I really don’t give a crap if anybody unfollows me. With that said, you should read my response to one of the other posters here. I only responded in kind with my objective critique of this poster. he came on here, whining about me, giving him negative reviews, but conveniently left out all the negative reviews he gave me the day earlier.


    I had a poster maybe two months ago give me 15 negative reviews within a one minute. I don’t even remember his name but I’m sure I could find it. So I went and reviewed all of his post and gave him the attention he was looking for. I think he unfollowed me after that. I don’t know, because I don’t really care. I’ve had some posters give me some downs for agreeing with their post. Lol.

    I still don’t understand the obsession with rating other peoples posts. I thought it was all part of the same game.

    I only offer my opinion, and IMHO, better form to ignore* a whack job losing his/her shit, than matching lunacy with lunacy, or trying to out loon a lunatic.

    (Ignore*= using ignore feature, and putting poster on 'ignore')

    If I didn't receive negative reviews, I wouldn't be telling the truth. Anyone can parrot narratives. I appreciate the positive reviews I receive and do my best to return the favor where it's appropriate, but if I ain't getting negative reviews, it means I'm doing something wrong. Especially around these parts.

    This is standard fare for you. Instead of debating the substance of your man-love for Vladimir Putin you go off on grammar and other trivial tangents.

    I agree with you in principle, but that’s not the way I live my life. Probably why I had heart surgery recently. Lol. But if somebody comes on here and starts throwing all these negative reviews on me, that tells me that that person thinks that these reviews actually matter in the grand scheme of things. I only return the favor to them. I don’t care if I have 1 million negative reviews. Do I get some kind of prize for having positive reviews or negative reviews? The answer is no. It has no effect on me or anyone else whatsoever.

    I have said this multiple times before, this message board is nothing but entertainment. I certainly hope nobody takes any of it seriously.

    you know, your responses here are getting lamer and lamer as time goes on. There was nothing to debate here. The person came on here, trying to proclaim himself some type of expert on US/Russian relations, but couldn’t even get the name of the country right as he contradicted himself. If it offends you because I called him out on it, too bad. I’ve made several similar mistakes on this board and you were probably one of the ones who called me out on it. I didn’t lose any sleep when you called me out on it, and I’m not gonna lose any sleep because you’re trying to defend somebody because I called them out on it.

    100% agree. If I start having all of the liberals give me thumbs up reviews, I would probably leave this board because I would be convinced my job here is done. Lol.

    … or that you were becoming a liberal. Seriously, I find fascinating the political divide on this and other topics. I’m almost convinced that our disputants are wearing yellow-blue masks at home test for Covid daily.

    Back to Ukraine and Russia's eventual defeat. Russians are preparing to abandon Tokmak. They are looting all of the heavy equipment they can find, robbing a local forging and stamping plant. The local pro-Russian government has drafted a plan to remove all of the valuables from the city at a moment's notice.

    An interesting story about how Russian electronics warfare is causing Ukrainian drone operators to move closer to the front, putting them at greater risk. (The Russian cyber teams, including jammers, are also moving closer to the front, increasing their risk.) What I would wonder is if a drone midway from the operator to the fighting/spotting drone could relay instructions to the drone, and relay video back to the operator (basically, a repeater station).

    Russia keeps jamming Ukrainian drones, forcing their operators to move closer to the front line — and into greater danger

    German company to send 300,000 Gepard cannon anti-aicraft rounds to Ukraine after resolving manufacturing issues. The tools to make the ammunition didn't exist any more in Germany, so Rheinmetall AG had to improvise.

    Germany has finally figured out how to build more ammo for the 1960s-era cannon Ukraine is using to blast Russian drones

    That was just too easy. Typically I bait liberals with counterfeit signed copies of An Inconvenient Truth, but I had feeling I would catch one with my proclamation which is legally non binding because I said “probably”. Now, if you would write some really nice words about me I may reconsider.

    First Challenger tank lost in combat. For those keeping score, it is:

    Russian tanks: about 5,000

    Leopards: 5

    Challenger: 1

    The good news? The crew escaped without injury.

    The Challenger 2 Tank Has Never Been Lost to Enemy Fire. That Just Changed in Ukraine.

    I honestly don’t think you are nearly as stupid as your posts would otherwise indicate.

    Russian front line troops are complaining of a lack of ammunition and weapons. One compared it to 1941, saying that five soldiers had to share a rifle.

    Intercepted phone calls reveal Russian frontline troops complaining of heavy losses, poor supplies
