“Bro watch this”

Russia is just honoring the Great Patriotic War!

Hadrian just wants to bone his boytoy in peace, no matter how many barbarian men, women, and children he has to kill to get it.

Oh, I’m not saying they’re not shitty. I’m only saying they aren’t nearly as competent as people think.

DoD: “We have a recruitment problem, not an equipment problem. Allocate money properly please?”

Congress: “Where’s the profit in that? You can’t get kickbacks from the enlisted!”

Sometimes they tried to kill Castro with exploding cigars.

The CIA is often attributed great cunning and intelligence, both in popular culture and by their enemies.

In reality, they were busy during the Cold War dosing up on LSD and trying to cultivate psychic powers, including tests to try to kill goats with mind-powers

1. Because the cry of “But nuclear weapons!” is exactly the line Russia has been pushing since day 3 of this war, in which the lesson is “You can do anything you want to ‘lesser’ powers if you have nuclear weapons, up to and including genocide”

2. Because they’re off by almost an entire order of magnitude (Russia is generally estimated to have 5,000-6,000 nukes, comparable to the US stockpile)

3. Because this is NCD, and we yearn to die in nuclear hellfire here.

Well, yes, but the principle is the same.

Do it Macron. It’ll make future generations gloss over the rest of your failures, like Winston Churchill being shitty every way other than leading Britain during WW2.

“We have to stop the expansion of NATO, no matter how many additional members we add to it in the process!”

What’s the tonnage on that?

You pronounced this nonsense, not me!

I wish I could lie to you. To give you sweet, comforting fictions.

But where do we find a sailor big enough to squeeze the trigger?

Unfortunately, I don’t think it matters what he spews. One-in-four Americans already have a positive view of Putin. I think he’s got the crazy demographic already locked down.

When the F16s arrive, Russia’s own air defense will vanish in smoke & fire.

Doubtful. I would love for this to be the case, but a supply of F-16s will just strip Russia of its current dominance over contested airspace. There’s a reason SEAD motto is “You gotta be shittin’ me”

“My friend, you bow to no one.”
