New form of the Fighter and Bomber Mafias ?

Been part of marketing to get aid for Ukraine to say if Ukraine falls somehow Russia will then attack NATO members...because some how mystically Article 5 won't work because NATO didn't defend a non-member. Ergo, we must give them ATACMS, Arleigh Burkes, etc. Not sure the endpoint there as well. Strange questions to ask.

People still going on with the Ukraine first, then NATO idea ? But I assume something was lost in translation with Scholz, or at least I hope. It is just funny to see such over the top stuff such as that - another article quoted him as saying "for all Mankind" which is even more so.

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/scholz-compares-ukraine-reconstruction-to-us-marshall-plan/2762129 "“The reconstruction of Ukraine will be a task for humanity, comparable to the Marshall Plan after World War II,” the chancellor told a news conference in Berlin." The geopolitically irrelevant can suck on it as usual.

A flock of Mig-31s with their mother 737. Big planes.

It's educational, how else would you learn to catch the man. Apparently, that is on the Wing Commander Prophecy OST not the Front 242 version. For some reason I got that game's OST back in 2002, exposed me to such greats as KMFDM and Das Ich

Have to go into office for some holiday nonsense. Joys of terrible office workspace ventilation is definitely going to result in me getting ill

KoTH is Texas Anime anyway, I hear.

Ah ok, I never bothered with D2, forget what I was busy playing at the time - think it was RA2 and/or Tribes.

Possibly, all my friends and classmates went on and on about the ladder (was there MP only loot?) and well, I guess duping Always online might not be all that terrible, D3 RoS at least isn't an issue other than battling the lag I get from having NA-tier telecom

Well, I was thinking back to D2.

Most of the playerbase was all about the MP anyway, it seems.

I had to translate Ukraine or Kiev a lot more this year than any other in the Russian courses, just the early ones. Very subtle, hah.

Southgate taking Saka and Foden off was strange.

French defenders screwing themselves here.

Some cases, it's just crap management. Germany and Spain for example. Or poor selection of squad. Is something interesting to go through though, 2014 had Costa Rica's great run, 2018 had Croatia.

Ronaldo crying was what I needed today.

Portuguese keeper with some FM-level play there on that goal

Funny too they care so much about Whelan then, with his record in the military. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/09/1141589248/ukraine-culture-boycott-nutcracker-tchaikovsky This was amusing.

It is how Morocco will win the Cup

Was worried we'd have another Nuremberg
