No need to hope. That’s exactly what would happen. Excellent questions. But lots of stuff would have to happen before that. What happens when the...
I don’t doubt they would be. I do doubt that we would tell Ukraine that this joke of a deal was our framework for negotiations unless we wanted...
So it’s a “confidential plan,” but we have it here on Too Hot? Deep breaths, everyone. No deal at all is going to come out of this meeting....
That’s an awful lot of bad luck on those ships carrying Russian contraband, isn’t it?
If that happens, I’ll be the first to say you’re right. But I remain unworried. NATO is going nowhere.
That would work.
As @OklahomaGator stated, it is a matter of whether or not she has evidence, not whether or not we "believe" her.
That could very well be the case. There will be an investigation. One ship is always primarily at fault in these situations, even if the other...
Well, I can think of one captain who is going to have a lot more time on his hands soon.
I watched a good portion of that video, starting at the 21:00 mark, and I did not get the impression the SECDEF thinks our Navy is 10 years behind...
That is one possible outcome, I agree. But my point remains that Russian political/economic stability is the key variable here, and that situation...
Request a link. On its face, that seems like a silly thing to say. The Russian navy, what's still above the waterline, is a joke. Now if he was...
I understand the pessimism, my friend, especially after the football season you had ;). But I have to repeat a caveat: Ukraine had no such...
Stop digging. You were clearly confusing direct vs. indirect with ballistic vs. precision-guided. The point remains the same: even if...
No, “indirect fire” is not whatever you say it is. It’s as simple as this: does the shooter see the target with a direct line of sight or not. Not...
Oh, dude … That was exactly like you wanting to have a complex discussion about Albania and then letting it slip that you think an Albanian is...
What you are saying just isn’t so. I doubt you’ll find a single career military person who thinks Ukraine could have taken back Crimea in 2022...
All possible. The reason I’m not willing to get worked up over it is my belief that these negotiations are bound to fail in any case. You have...
No, not like those at all. The Budapest Memorandum was a joke. Anything less than armed action codified in a treaty is a guarantee of nothing but...
I don't think this is the real concern. In terms of raw military power, Russia will need to lick its wounds and implement probably 10 years' worth...
