That’s not how IADS works.

Also, the Ukrainians have more than enough air defense capacity to massively maul any aerial force that attempts a north-south transit of the country. Russia has been keeping their sorties almost entirely over airspace they control, as a result. The strikes you have been seeing them do (against Ukrainian military and civilian targets) are almost exclusively executed with standoff weapons like cruise missiles (of which “kamikaze drones” are essential subtype), glide bombs, and SRBMs. Russian stealth doesn’t really work, and they’re super nervous about losing their supposed wunderwaffe (e.g. the dozen or so Su-57s they’ve made over a couple decades)

Side note: lol:

It’s a bit of an indirect approach, but we technically have that - for offshore quakes at least

We wouldn’t be giving them an airstrip in the middle of Europe, because all the countries around it (except Ukraine) are in NATO, and there is no path to the sea that is over a non-NATO country. And the ruskies demonstrably do not have the capability to fly across the entirety of Ukrainian airspace unmolested.

Legislators? Too busy?

That’s a great joke - particularly given how much vacation time they vote to give themselves.

Wow uh… today I learned :(

I’m not personally a fan of her music, but I would still call that statement rather judgemental.

Wow uh… does she want her fanbase to evaporate…? Because that’s a great way to do it.

• I agree that the seizures are deeply inappropriate and almost certainly illegal. The strikes, doubly so.
• the USCG actually deploys overseas from time to time - for instance, they were a part of the international force that was off the coast of Somalia a few years back to help defend against the rampant piracy and hijacking.

Jim beam was in the “cheap rotgut” category for ages. They only fairly recently started trying to make decent stuff again, regardless of ownership.

As to your colleagues… people can dislike mediocre whiskey and still be assholes.

The regime is actively trying to expand the presidential pardon to cover state crimes as well.

Glad I pulled them down already

OOTL: what did Aldi do for deserving a boycott?

Nice play with the capitulation on the shutdown in return for “we pinky promise we’ll let you call a vote for the thing you want but no bet on actually passing it lol”. A real political masterstroke, that.

Lmao again what the actual fuck are you talking about

Sounds like you may have been banned from communities that are expressing more nuanced opinions. Perhaps because of your fairly obviously dogmatic stance (not on genocide, but on how people are reacting to it)

Tbh David Brooks definitely has that “I enjoy inviting the neighborhood children over for storytime in my naked puzzle basement” aesthetic going on

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

By which I mean your sweeping, obviously inaccurate claims about the userbase, not the genocide, which is definitely happening, happened under the previous administration too, and is extremely fucked up, and likely contributed to the fascists getting elected given how abysmally the DNC handled the entire situation?
