  1. they'd be screwed if they get independence, they depend so much on denmark, the minerals are very hard to get to, they'll have to give china and russia more contracts (so they grow stronger while the u.s. aka nato grows weaker), then they maybe sell of parts of their country just to get by, and they still only have 56k people trying to keep their country the size of alaska and california put together safe (enough coastline to wrap around the earth), if they become a U.S. state then it makes things much easier, like another alaska, I'd love greenland to sit there untouched and beautiful but that's not being realistic, it's a liability for our security (including denmark's security), it's going to get taken advantage of, the people aren't happy, greenland has the HIGHEST rate of suicide in the world fun fact, greenland is nearly identical in size as the louisina purchase and about the same distance from the u.s. as alaska is from the u.s.

  2. Cool, Trump rocks.

  3. Putin keeps stepping up the violence and war crimes yet he gets no retaliation in return. For tampering with nuclear power plants, ceasefire traps, and bombing hospitals he should face repercussions, aka Ukrainians in Polish jets.

  4. anything solid in front of a vehicle traveling that speed is deadly, so at airports it's all frangible/designed to break away once hit, this airport for some reason mounted the antenas on top of the berm/dirt mound and they're attached to concrete, so the plane smacked into pillars of concrete embedded in the mound, the antennas are supposed to be mounted level with the ground, so the plane slides over the concrete and the antenna snap off, even the bolts are designed to break away, they even saw them halfway through to break away, it's mind-boggling that this wall exists there, heck they literally catch aircraft in nets on aircraft carrier..so why not have something like that..or drums of water like we have on our highways for cars? it was a death trap, sometimes landing gears fail and these landings happen, if you had that happen at this airport then it's a death sentence, it's very strange, it's possible this pilot panicked and choked and made many mistakes but it could be this pilot did everything he could, brilliantly got the plane on the ground safely and instead of being a hero he was rewarded with certain death

  5. So the weight of the fuel was intended to add to the vortex and hopefully destabilize the drone until it crashed? If their goal was to capture the tech, seems kinda risky to attempt to dowse it in fuel which could potentially blow it up, right?

  6. lol

  7. lol he didn't take the anti-Trump bait

  8. it's supposed to be breakaway antennas mounted at ground level and a berm of earth behind it, beyond that they have a deflector and airport security wall, this earth berm had concrete pillars inside it.. it's crazy, the plane was supposed to skid across that concrete because it's embedding into the ground but this one ran right into it because of how it was built, pillars of concrete

  10.  @ivanlaplante  yeah, Russia sewing division imo, let's see how they blame the U.S. on this

  11. Trump invades Greenland, NATO allies take on U.S...hahaha, well that's one way to get them to pay their fair share in NATO

  13. FOUR leaks now, so not an easy repair to say the least, although how likely is it that someone could secretly set so many explosive devices without detection? I guess they can tell the difference between a natural pressurized explosion and an incendiary device exploding? I mean let's just make sure that's what it is before pointing fingers. People say Russia has no motive but clearly if Russia wanted to sew division among NATO then they might do this? It pulls away a lot of resources to deal with these incidents as well..

  14. I can't imagine being Russian and having a child die fighting in this war, the hate I'd have for Putin would be immeasurable. Hopefully the names of the deceased are getting into the ears of the Russian people and they are gathering in such great number that they'll oust that fkr. There are things worth dying and fighting for, but obviously not to "de-Nazify" Ukraine.

  15. joining the russian army right now does not seem very enticing

  16. When you speak to an old man, and when you speak to a General, and when you care about getting valuable information and wisdom, you don't interrupt!!!!

  17. should have blown it up, we need to know what we can do if it's a threat, this isn't the first time we've landed on an an asteroid, I mean we put a satellite on a comet in 2014 for example..

  18. These days it seems like we could easily retrofit these old tanks and make them basically like a modern tank..just slower and less dependable (and more dangerous to crew), but for little cost. Spare parts could be a problem, but popular tanks means lots of parts lying around. I mean in America, during an apocalypse, what vehicle would you want? A Ford F-150...they're everywhere=parts everywhere and more familiar to Americans repairing them. Those old soviet tanks do have some advantages. I wonder what additional steel plating could be added to protect the crew. The ground is hardening, temps are rising and April is the driest month, so weight won't matter as much. June is the wettest month.

  19. It's such a freakin' mystery. I was thinking that maybe due to recent events the pilot thought they'd been shot and rushed the landing, meanwhile somehow the hydraulics also happened to fail, maybe the pilot had a heart attack simultaneously (I've heard they called a medical emergency)..possibly they cut the wrong engine and suddenly had no power (this happened in a previous plane crash). Possibly, since drones are everywhere now, maybe a drone got sucked in, toxic dusted the cockpit and in their last moments of life they put it down as best they could. The co-pilot is in his 30's, been operating it over a year but maybe didn't know about the manual landing gear..somehow didn't hear the warnings, but that seems very unlikely as well. Maybe everything failed, from the training, to the systems, to the maintenance.. About the only thing that's clear is in this case the pilot didn't intentionally try to crash it. Who really even knows that it was a bird strike. Those planes are having all sorts of problems these days. Still, that plane was on the ground safely and the "wall" killed them.

  23. None of this silliness matters until Trump goes to Greenland and speaks to the Greenlanders. Denmark screwed themselves when they angered the Greenlanders, told the world that Greenland can separate if it wants, all while they know Greenland can't survive on its own. Denmark knows they'd be fools to lose Greenland, but that's what's going to happen. A change has to happen. The sharks are already circling. But these polls they're taking are as meaningless as a poll before a presidential debate takes place. Their opinions will quickly change once Trump heads over there, hears them out, makes promises and offers cash. And Danes..well they already pay 600mil per year and are now paying an additional 2billion to protect Greenland..and they'll get fed up with that pretty quick. Anyway, the headline is kind of an insult haha, that drug is terrible for you, by the way..and why wouldn't it be

  25. I remember that question in high school. If a 100,000 USD missile destroys 4.5 twenty one year old Russian conscripts, and each USD is worth 59 rubles, how many rubles is each Russian life worth to the U.S.?

  26.  @luzr6613  Yeah, that was choice C on the test. I think I went with choice A, because I didn't have a T-72 calculator. In Russia, a young Russian man's life is worth, at most, a modestly priced white family sedan with tape deck...or a Whirlpool.

  27. "...to a special mode of combat duty" "special military operations", hmm, is that like when the Evil character says something like "I need you to take care of the...Mr. Banks situation" or "Yes, it would be quite unfortunate if Mr. Banks were to...have a fall on his way to work tomorrow morning"?

  37. Finally something cool to see from Scholz. Heck to see any world leader stand up like that is very refreshing. What a bunch of silly protesters...

  38. Vance put those goofs in their place. Gave them a much-needed intervention. The only reason you should be censored is when you threaten violence. Being wrong or dumb or offensive or hateful is just free speech. And yes, Vance 2028-2036. what she said about migration..was total BS, that's the media for ya, the real weapon of mass destruction

  39. sink the Kerch already, give them the fighter jets, enough of this BS

  40. "this weapon will change the course of the war" how many times have we heard that? use the long range weaponry to sink his ships and push them back and actually drop his beloved kerch bridge into the sea so troops can move on into crimea and end this already

  41. imagine trying to convince a world leader to stop invading a country by taking away his possessions and his rich friend's possessions, it's crazy, it's saying human lives aren't worth as much as personal possessions

  42. He is very good with his words, but what's the deal with needing the aircraft? From what I understand Ukraine has all their aircraft and aircraft can't do much with Russian forces are in such short distant and in such close proximity with civilians..as well as all of Putin's forces already being inside Ukraine. What will the jet fighters do exactly?

  43. What if Putin orchestrated this in order to surround himself in Moscow with more military forces and create martial etc to dissuade riots and insurrection on the Kremlin? It seems like Prigo is a great card to play for Lukashenko as leverage against Putin if need be..or leverage with Ukraine/NATO. If either wants him, they'll have to trade Lukashenko something for him. I guess what matters most is Wagner's leader is in Belarus, Wagner is Russia's most fearsome or respected force, Belarus's leader is Putin's puppet, and Belarus is very near Kiev. How would NATO respond to Belarus if they decided to assist Russia in such a way? It seems like Belarus would have to be out of it's mind to do it. IMO Lukashenko is just looking out for himself and trying to play peacemaking mediator because he knows the end is near.
