    All despots start to care at some point. I won’t be able to get Louis XVI to confirm that for a bit, but I’ll ask him when I see him.

    Only if they’re the right kind of pilot. I’m a helicopter guy, so what I understand about radar mainly deals with using terrain flight and chaff to defeat enemy surface-based radars. I don’t have any idea what AWACS and JSTARS can do apart from it being really cool and would blow your mind.

    What????

    That's a mere twice the width of Florida in the middle (ie not the pan handle).

    I thought Ukraine is the biggest country in Europe, and it runs east-west (more than north-south).

    That cant be right.

    Because it’s not. Ukraine is almost 800 miles across and nearly the size of Texas.

    Nah, nah, nah, man. Those people executed themselves to make the Russians look bad, remember?

    Is that what Vlad is saying these days? Wait. I know. The Russians are Ukranian Nazis DRESSED as Russians who made the real Russians change clothes, and the real men killed were ACTUALLY Russians disguised as Ukranians...all to make Russia look like the bad guy.

    I haven’t seen Vlad in a while. I think the Center was reading his work and our collective lampooning of it and decided to direct his energies elsewhere.
