Wonder what the point is. Maybe some new weapons gift? Ah yes, 500M

Impromptu survey of friends and acquaintances reveals that the people I know : Don't wonder about how they'll die Believe I am "strange".

Sorry to hear that, Shady

Another exciting Friday caused by firing a guy who knew everything.

Seems odd to separate the top two. And to think you called me cynical for saying poor countries don't matter, heh.

Sort of disappointed it's not set in the game, showing the trials of a person whose accomplishments vanish in a second.

Shame you can't relive the launch experience, jank and all 😛 Barely had much time to get a chance to really like Jackie, I found.

Nope. Would get people to love them again, been watching people spewing bile at them as the cannon ammo is make or break...for some reason.

Indeed, your laws should be changed when inconvenient for some countries. RoK and Switzerland are cowards as well, I guess ?

Got my squad to suck less in Chaos Gate, Purgator has a gun that ignores armor, also he and the Interceptor have an ability where they fire on a target another fires on. The animations in the cutscenes are janky enough to be funny, Vakir especially

How much control should the AU have over each country's stance on an issue, though ?

Trying to finish Chaos Gate but it's so boring. Every mission is an uninteresting slog I find, but a mission assigned is a mission completed.

Man, people on Twitter are gullible idiots.

I realize I could be replaced by one. My task today is literally waiting for a file to be uploaded to run a stored procedure.

Well, cannons might not be effective. RCAF dumped a lot of rounds into one once and it didn't work. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/weather-balloon-canada-china-1.6737831 Sidewinder is just the cost effective example, I guess

It doesn't look "quite so exciting - to put it mildly," said the SPD politician on Tuesday at the sidelines of a meeting of the international contact group for arms deliveries to Ukraine. In addition to the German commitment to deliver 14 Leopard 2 A6s, there has only been an announcement from Portugal that three such tanks will be made available. More A6 are currently not in discussion, said Pistorius. Leopard 2 A4 tanks from Poland may have problems in terms of tank condition and serviceability."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/13/us-ukraine-war-critical-moment/ "“It feels like we are playing for a long war,” said Andrea Kendall-Taylor, director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security. “I think it’s at odds with what so many people would hope for, that we’re actually trying to help Ukraine win militarily.” She added, “It feels like a moment of really high uncertainty.” Biden and his top aides say they are determined to back Ukraine as long and as fully as possible. But they warn that the political path will get tougher once Ukraine has exhausted the current congressional package, which could happen as early as this summer. Some Western leaders have harbored reservations about sending certain types of heavy weaponry to Ukraine, worried about a direct confrontation with Russia, especially after Putin signaled a willingness to use nuclear weapons."

Is how I get through the work day

Ukraine shot one down as well
