  1. That evacuation time was a magnificent display of self-mastery by the passengers and crew. Amazingly well done.

  2.  @liberalismisaids9564  Where in the rail industry do YOU work and if not why do you permit yourself an opinion?

  3. Osprey has a lower mishap rate than Harrier, Super Hornet, F-35B, or CH-53E Super Stallion but military aviation is dangerous. US losses in combat are so small because our troops train hard and that means flying many thousands of sorties which mean some level of Class A mishaps. RIP to the fallen. Their work is far from easy, they just make most of it look that way.

  5. Israel was distracted by internal politics. That was a choice. Never conquer what you do not subsequently exterminate. To preserve any of your enemies is to fight their successors forever. Empathy is a mistake, and the cause of every failed attempt at conquest.

  6. Video is useless without context. Newark is the hood, not Gaza. Was he perhaps active against gangs? Were there internal quarrels? Was there money involved?

  8. Trucking school teaches drivers to stay in their lane when braking no matter what. Great job by the rescuers but he doesn't need to have a CDL.

  9. It's a PEOPLE problem because areas with decent people are awash in firearms but have low crime rates. These communities don't have criminals, they ARE criminals and proud of it. Anyone wise would leave if they had to walk out on foot.

  12. Career Viper fixer here who disagrees on the operational end of maintenance and support. Running foreign students through USAF tech school courses has been done since before the Air Force was a separate service. Any farm kid (those still exist in eastern Europe) can make a fine jet mech due to tactile familiarity with machinery. It's easy to retrain troops who worked on older birds (every senior maintainer in the early Viper maintenance community worked something else beforehand, I came off Phantom and Bronco) which required more mechanical adjustments and had complex, primitive avionics and comms. Before the USAF kept maintainers mostly on one airframe the diversity of experience IMO made better technicians. Any car mechanic can make a jet mech and many are both. I could teach a rock to work on one and all Ukraine needs is the equivalent of DEPLOYED US squadrons with the rest left inside NATO for safety. For example engine and avionics back shops could sublocate to Poland and be supported easily via existing NATO units and other resources. POL is old news for any armed force and quite easy to learn. Any fuel truck with an SPR hose can fuel one and connecting those is simple plumbing. POL for hydraulic oil and lubricants. is a simple task of ordering the correct NSN then having it shipped through the usual channels (Fedex, DHL and UPS make the DOD world go round). Fuel is ordinary tanker truck logistics not requiring military tankers so long as a pump etc is available at the receiving end. While the OVERALL feat of supporting an F-16 squadron is enormous like any fighter unit, the PIECES of that puzzle are refined over many decades and not difficult for any individual to perform which is of course the point. Most of those pieces can be managed from far, far away as the US does on deployments. Ukraine doesn't have to reinvent every wheel and perform every task. They do need to get good at a select few but tens of thousands of other humans did so easily with far less motivation. Today we have Zoom and other comms so a factory tech rep or maintainer from another air force can if desired talk a Ukrainian through troubleshooting including tricks and kinks not covered in job guides. Technical Order automation means any number of copies are instantly available (and no hapless airman has to A-page paper manuals).

  13. I get a ticket about once every 20 years and pay them. I can't snivel because I was speeding. Don't like tickets? Drive wisely then pay your "road tax" when your foot gets heavy.

  14. Israel should cut off water to Gaza. Israel got lazy and that fence (it's not a wall except in short sections) should have been picketed with artillery. Every Israeli should be armed 24/7 but they stupidly failed to have a gun culture. There is no excuse for a nation under permanent seige to not totally militarize every aspect of its society. The alternative is losing.

  15. This is the reason the war between the states was a long term mistake. The US is too large to govern fairly. Two smaller nations would offer the enormous benefit of not having to live with each other. Absorbing the CSA ensured eternal and widespread national resentment because neither side can be free of the other. Existential enemies should not share dirt.

  17. America does not demand professional law enforcement nor is it generally willing to fund it.

  18. I suspect the shooter was not Amish or Mennonite, but it's forbidden to count which groups commit a disproportionate amount of crime in the US.

  21.  @0x44_  Cops aren't civil rights experts either. Their perspective based on controlling behaviors by those who object to being controlled. Everything else is generally irrelevant to their education, training and experience.

  23. Prostitution will exist but banning it gives leverage to keep it out of good neighborhoods where it would otherwise damage property values. Some parts of society must be expendable for the good of the majority. Some areas will be used as dumping grounds ("combat zones" was an old term for areas were crimes of mutual adult consent were tolerated) and rightly so because admitting some things can NEVER be eliminated due to public demand is the rational thing to do. Realists do not pretend immutable human realities are otherwise. Bottom feeders will always exist and they will always sell what they sell to get by. Admit that reality then stop trying to fix the inherently unfixable. No society of size is without the world's oldest profession. Keep it out of good neighborhoods since ending it is not possible. Pretending ending it is possible is proven insane by thousands of years of history.

  26. "Progressive" fratricide is hilarious. The people who installed Marxists throughout academia managed to delude themselves their acts would entitle their successors to special treatment.

  27. Why would anyone want to attend such a frothingly Leftist school in the first place? Elect Donald Trump and turn the tide.

  28. Then why didn't they win in weeks? Where is their sortie rate? Not that you shills know what that means. Russian missions over Ukraine are basically local flights in airspace they grew up in or near, yet no victory over a poor nation next door.

  29.  @joshuapaul2022  Unlike primitive shills the US has many truely internet literate people who also happen to be good at pattern recognition. Your shilling backfires (you get paid so no problem on your end) because at this point all it does is provoke righteous hatred. When we think of sending weapons we think of you and yours on the receiving end, though most are actually in Indian call centers.

  30. Their aircrew speak English which is the international language of pro-Western military aviation.

  32. Because the POTUS has ZERO internal corporate influence and not everything revolves around whatever hack happens to be in the Oval Office. These issues are multiple administrations old, and also not the purview of national government.

  33. A "naturalized citizen" is a mere passport holder not a product of the US, but of course noises are made when the word "American" comes up. Let the locals dispose of the problem. The US has no reason for concern over someone whose loyalties are to another nation. You either put the US first or you're a traitor no one should care to rescue.

  34. This is couch money for NATO. The US didn't notice over 15,000,000,000 a month during GWOT and most aid is also a high tech jobs program benefiting the US middle class. Bonus, it kills NeoSoviets so seethe harder and send more cannon fodder to the front.

  37. Catalina Foothills School District was foolish for hiring a fraud because frauds do not reform and obvious mental illness is a red flag. The community should be asking why she was ever hired as she could bring nothing good to the district.

  39. The dull, dirty and dangerous jobs humans find soul crushing are ideal for robots. One cannot have it both ways. One thing nations can do is STOP IMPORTING POOR PEOPLE WITH NO SKILLS. It is not the task of the first world to employ everyone else. They need to sort out their OWN societies.

  40. African-Americans should note the overlap between white folks driving the anti-vax movement and white folks who want you dead. I may be incorrect (you do the math) but I''l just guess your interests ain't first on their list.

  41. No, they were really all Communist shills. The Left was and remains subversive.

  42. They do not perform the same missions. Osprey isn't the most dangerous rotary wing aircraft but the public aren't aviationists so early impressions are permanent.

  44. It already has by logistics support. Israel is quite capable of handling the problem and the bonus is there will never be peace. Israel needs periodic wars so it remains forever ready to fight them. The point of life for the religious is going to heaven which martyrs do.

  45. Since most Americans who see this have no idea about the background it's worth mentioning that IS-K are the people who blew up Kabul airport during the evacuation, killing both US troops AND Taliban security personnel. Islamic State Khorasan are so hardcore they take out other Muslims without a second thought. That also means if they can attack the US on our own soil they will. Russia bombed ISIL (their buddies) in Syria while defending the Assad regime and has not been the best steward of Chechnya so there are pleny of potential IS-K recruits.

  46. Glavset shilling hard today. Remember the much more difficult defeat of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact by containment? I do. You LOST due to your own economic degeneracy and social incompetence while China succeeded. Russia became a poor backwater by the hands of its own people.

  48. Sky News anchor Jayne Secker rudely belittled him (which is all over the internet) for it so it's doubly good that he got more positive recognition for his achievement.

  49. Confronting doesn't work. If you want someone gone use street methods. Talking has no impact on pedos because they're still breathing afterwards.

  50. Stupid move but Austin is not particularly valuable nor is any other SecDef who are just temporary bureaucrats. Most G.I.s don't even care who fills that seat because our careers last far longer than some talking head. The uniformed services are designed to function even if decapitated and it's a common G.I. joke that Americans do better without leadership. It's the civilians who choose all the stupid constabulary actions, not the generals. It's the civilians who mismanage them. We'd have fewer wars with LESS civilian meddling.
