  1. A Himars rocket doesn't have the range. Moscow is too far away.

  2.  @firestarter8202  The number of shipwrecks littering the bottom of the Baltic Sea suggests otherwise. It's not called the world's largest underwater museum for nothing.

  3.  @starcraftleonov6487  Interestingly, the 50+ years old grandpas (and grandmas) can speak Finnish. Estonia had a window on the West through Finnish TV broadcasts, which they could receive. It goes a long way to explain why Estonia hit the ground running when they threw off the Soviet yoke.

  4. ​ @MLVL312  What a crock. France makes more money from tourism than the UK, and the French gave their royals the chop a long time ago.

  5. Waste of time. Defenestration await Prigozhin.

  6. Don't crack a window.

  7. I once read about a WW2 pilot who was ordered up to shoot down an escaped barrage balloon. He did his very best, but couldn't close in. They later figured out it was the planet Venus.

  8. No sweat. Lithuania has an LNG terminal in Klaipeda.

  9.  @jadler457  Some do, some don't. Goes for Israelis as well.

  10. The toothless bear is gagging on Ukrainian sunflower seeds.

  11. Germany lost WW1, but was soon back with a vengence. History provides interesting lessons.

  12. Russia's been training really hard for the turret-toss event at the Military World Games.

  13. I'm sure they have carefully checked the auxiliary power unit before attempting this sort of thing. Hot refuelling is not advised -- that is, if they had to refuel.

  14. That's nice. After two vetoed UNSC draft resolutions, the US develops remorse.

  15. It's not either-or. Israel needs specialist stuff, Ukraine needs a bit of everything.

  16. I see it quite differently. Netanyahu was supposed to keep Israel safe. Something went terribly amiss here. The Israeli electorate won't be well pleased.

  17.  @soreeyez  IFF is optional in Soviet Russia, it appears.

  18.  @bempowered138  It's no secret that Israel gave Hamas a big boost. Netnyahu even openly advocated support for Hamas in a effort to undermine the more moderate Fatah, which was making gains in the peace talks at Israel's expense, Netanyahu felt. Israel created a monster in more ways than one.

  19. I don't see a problem. Russia has failed to establish air superiority over Ukraine and Ukraine's air force regularly operates both MiG-29s and Su-25s from its airbases.

  20.  @mohammedmustapha-e2w  A counter-offence is when Prigozhin calls Putin a liar after being called a traitor by Putin.

  21. They're working on it in Russia. The question is, will it be better or worse? With an apathetic population, I fear the worst.

  22.  @anoldpotentin2446  Micronesia will beat Tanzania to the punch.

  23. Don't make too much of the Queen's acceptance. If the government would ask her to sign a law that replaces the Union Jack with her bloomers, she wouldn't think twice before putting pen to paper. After all, a constitutional sovereign reigns but does not rule.

  24. There's no honour among thieves. And Prigozhin is a twice-convicted one.

  25. They were not so speechless after the Taliban reconquered Afghanistan, but if they still want to play the hypocrisy card as eagerly as before, they'll keep very mum about that one, too.

  26. Does that include the Russian defence ministry?
    2
  27. It's only fitting that the UK version of Trump has a John Bolton, too.

  28. Right, like hiding in ground clutter. Or using terrain features to hide, like staying behind hills, mountain ridges and whatnot. Radar technology 101.

  29. It's too bad Shakespeare isn't around to write a play about him. Actors would refer to it as "The Russian Play".

  30. How is that related? Oh wait, Iran's proxies wars.

  31.  @crusaderlatin732  It's all in your imagination.

  32. ​@Chris Viking Don't flatter yourselves unduly. Ukraine wants to set a precedent with the Chally 2s. With the Leo 2s, it wants to roll the invaders back.

  33. You'd think Russia was enough on its plate with Ukraine. Forcing NATO to enter the war would spell utter disaster for Russia.

  34. I hope the military industrial complex remembered Putin with a gift basket. After all, he's the sole reason they're raking it in. Not only is Putin their greatest salesman, but also, Russia exited the international arms market, leaving the others to divide the spoils. The unselfishness of the man is truly exemplary.

  35.  @fiorini_mochachino  Give it a rest, bot. Don't hide behind foreign handles.

  36. Delish.

  37.  @lg2058  Reading between the lines is not your forte.

  38.  @tanjt  He's just parroting Trump, I guess. Populists are opportunistic by nature.

  39.  @maxmango4305  Russia did bomb their own people, and very literally at that. In the First Chechen War alone, Russia's military killed an estimated 100,000 civilians, 35,000 of whom were ethnic Russians. Killing their own has never bothered Russia.

  40. Lol. On Russian TV, Putin literally called it an "armed mutiny".

  41.  @anissah161  To each their own. Conspiracy theorists in particular.

  42. Berlusconi's politicking predated that of Trump. Hence, Trump is the Berlusconi of Murica.

  43. They love them more than life itself, literally.

  44.  @kym1160  Please tell me that shape-shifting, blood-drinking Reptilians prevented Farage from taking his rightful seat in the House of Commons.

  45. I've heard about your square states, but spare states are new to me.
    2
  46. But the UK rejoining the EU is not what the union needs right now. Come back in a decade or so.

  47. Give us your deeper than deep analysis then. Don't be shy now.

  48. So do their hostages, I'm afraid.

  49.  @ScottishScot  I was stationed in Lebanon when the Hannibal *Directive came about. The excitement level went up a notch.

  50.  @technosamurai9825  That would be the Hezbollah. Try to get your facts straight. Official Lebanon is very uncomfortable with this flare-up of violence on their southern border.
