  4. Kings discipline problems ...? Now I’m starting to think more of him ... I once got into a screaming match with a captain on the flight deck ... in the middle of the Atlantic .... I was quite relieved to be found in the right ... but it was caught on the flight deck cameras ... hopefully it made the highlight reel ...

  34. I’m against teenagers doing drugs .. drugs like adderol ,focalin, alcohol, opiates , nicotine etc … weed isn’t even close to the dangers that these drugs pose … I smoked weed during high school and tested in the upper 1% when I applied to the USMC … but then again when you join the marines many might accuse you of not being that bright ….especially the drill instructors

  102. Hi Mark .. I have a complex question… The Dambuster raid in 43 really threw a wrench in Germany’s war production.. the Ruhr Valley took the better part of 6 months to recover and at a huge cost to repair the mess, Russia is going to have to decentralize its production to avoid a one strike incapacitation of anything critical, …. meanwhile their oil industry is really getting hammered, like WW2 were it took until 1944 to cripple German oil production are we starting to see the effects of Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil on their military and arms production and how close are we to a Russian oil industry collapse…?
    3
  103. It sounds like a lawn mower …with a bad bearing
    3
  104. I guess we will have to wait until the war is over so we can find out , exactly how the bridge attack went down ..detonating the truck bomb next to the oil tankers .. one of the classic sabotages of all time ..
    3
  105. Ukraine 🇺🇦 is proving that the Russian Army Is a Stumbling Collosus with feet of clay .. and all these years we the west have been pooping our britches over their supposed capabilities.. but like the winter war Russia will just keep throwing bodies at it .. but unlike Finland in the winter war Ukraine 🇺🇦 is getting western Aid .. albeit maddeningly slowly..Bahkmut may very well be the grave of the Wagner Group .. and thousands of other Invaders .. perhaps Zelenski’s public statements are a trap for Russia.. Kinda like His statements about Kherson..?

  106. What we have here is a failure to communicate… in code …

  131. As a owner of a 350 I truly appreciate this video …and will probably watch it 20 time as I burned up a distributor on my G-20 van … come to find out the engine ground was a small strap on the back of the motor to the body and of course the connection was pretty badly corroded .. and as far as we could tell it was the only engine ground ……so ended up running a 6 Gauge cable from the motor to the frame … hopefully solving that issue …hopefully…
    2
  132.  @mlhardin1822  well they got it on multiple cameras .. and a truck bomb is 1) nothing new 2) the simplest and most likely explanation 3) the physical evidence rules out anything else .. the only real question is how they pulled it off ..
