Uh, can't you be drawn and quartered for that?

True enough. I was just speaking of the battlefield.
-
Um, yeah I suppose. But honestly, it's really just using your strengths and targeting the enemy's weaknesses. Artillery, cavalry, we've developed a number of ways to take advantage of a situation. The west does better when it relies on overmatch. So, we thought Russia would do the same. But years of corruption has whittled away its military advantage it seems. So, you have to take it a step further. Representative government and overmatch. That way you can fight as long as the people want and leave when they say. A lot of people say we left Afghanistan worse than when we found it. But the

Attrition should eventually carry the day. But in wars like this you can win by simply not quitting. Grind the conflict out over a prolonged span of time and the stronger force will quit and go home. Soviets in Afghanistan, The USA and allies in Viet Nam, and latter again in Afghanistan. Let's not forget the Red Sox's vs Major League baseball.

It's better to know...

It can be expensive. Like gazjon said, some tags in some states are over the counter. But not all areas are equal when it comes to game quality and quantity. If you are serious about making the trek this site may help you. GOHUNT // THE Hunting Company You have to pay to join as that's the American way. But, they give you all the information you could need to plan ahead for an exciting trip in the states. Good Hunting!

You shouldn't. But the fighting men certainly should. The UK isn't in such a bad way. Shoring up the 1931 commonwealth and the commonwealth of nations should put you in a pretty good place. Once the USA exits the global scene, you'll need compacts with nations rich in various natural resources. Though, you may want to move the capital to Newfoundland. Good hunting there!

Wow, you're just about gone with it aren't you.

Q Anon much? lol One has to be cautious when they say what Trump will or won't do. But I doubt he'll get elected President again. As Biden is pretty much doing everything trump tweeted about. (Tweeted about and never lifted a finger to do.) I don't really see the difference. Populist nonsense aside of course.

These are just my opinions too. Patton and Mac Authur? That's like asking the guard dogs what we should do about people walking down the street. Seriously, they were just doing their jobs. Just like the Politicians whose job it is to prevent war. I think the generation you are talking about had enough placed on them. The generation after not so much. But, looking at what is walking around today. I think the Baby Boomers would have been a better choice and we were in a much better place for the fight. If Russia actually punches themselves out in Ukraine. This entire conversation

Because it's the sane choice? Overall Russia is a very poor country. They are losing revenue from oil and gas. They are losing young men that they can't afford to lose. (Based on their declining demographic.) To top it off it's likely when they do take Ukraine it's going to get worse for their young men. Because that's when you lads get involved. Paulus you complain about corruption, and no one would deny it exist. But there are crooks in every walk of life. In my opinion, if we all have made one mistake in the dealings with Russia. It's not having this war in 1983. The old Soviets

Since Bretton Woods you mean.

No. That never happened.

Huh? I thought Russia started the war by invading Crimea etc.

My mind is like an internet browser. At least 19 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen and I have no clue where the music is coming from.

Felt uncomfortable driving into the cemetery. The GPS blurted out "You have reached your final destination.

Apparently RSVPing to a wedding invitation "Maybe next time," isn't the correct response.

My tolerance for idiots is extremely low today. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there is a new strain out there.

"You just squash Russia for us and you're in!"

While he's the greatest President ever, I don't actually listen to him. I mentioned some of my sources and provided a link to a video to help explain the situation. All news and data can harbor a little bias. Networks and papers especially yours and mine are very suspect. But I find Good Times-Bad Times to be pretty reliable. They link their sources, and you can double check the data yourself. If anyone you know is actually confused about where their loyalties should lie. Remind them that Vlad Putin has already commented that he could easily eliminate the UK with one nuclear st

We now know that China lied about live births. So, millions of younger Chinese exist on paper only. Add to that the estimate that China has lost close to one million after backing off on covid restrictions. The Chinese are essentially killing themselves off. The Taliban has also taken a few out. Which ground their copper mining operation to a halt. While it's true China is dependent on resources sourced from outside their country. I suspect, when we see Chinese citizens with or without the blessing of the CCP investing in other nations. It's more about getting what wealth they can out of

That's what they are saying. Why did you laugh at my post?
-
Try to. They are taking out 5 Russians for everyone they lose. So, they are making good use of familiar ground, local support and a disciplined and motivated fighting force. That would be the positive points. The negative would be that Russia has a lot more soldiers to lose. So, with between 15,000 and 18,000 killed and anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 wounded. Ukraine will most likely run out of fighting men first. The spring offensive with updated (and captured) weapons is what we want to watch. Russia is amassing a large force in preparation. Ukraine, however, does not have th
