Well, on bright side maybe they did manage to save more than the ~50 I keep seeing about.

Indeed, without the US there'd be no democracy anywhere.

What a strange retort.

There humour in how valid that expectation is and is perceived, though. But ah well.

Might be difficult in war, but not sure that'd change much. They're not going to use them on Russian forces - Western reaction to such an act would be interesting to see, and as a deterrent, is just two. For what it's worth

Sort of surprised they wouldn't have been prepared for that.

Not bad things to have an issue with.

Should lead with that then. Although wonder what that changes even if there are nuclear weapons aboard.

A fate worse than death.

Wily Russians remain so inept that they are a joke, yet will become a juggernaut if they win. Maybe the water in Ukraine makes super soldiers.

You mean people just regurgitating BS?

Kiev getting hit again, I guess is follow though on threat to hit HQ from earlier ? No idea on targets, though

Could be both, missile strikes lead to ammunition exploding and the ship being too damaged to make it back under tow.

I haven't actually played it much to see what the story is, what did they do ? And does the story matter all that much ?

Probably lots of places, they made a lot of them. I think the US got some to equip the ANA with. Wonder how effective they can be as gunships though.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with Rwanda, I'm well aware Africa is not all the Congo circa 2000. It's just that it seems a bit ill spirited to send them thousand of miles, I heard on the radio an activist suggesting they just allow them to apply for asylum at any embassy - seems much more practical. Somewhat inventive, paying poorer nations to allow you dump undesirable refugees there. I guess they can start an industry for refugee dumping now.

Well that was a Deus Ex quote As for why I'm so cynical and cold hearted, too many video games as a child no doubt.

Pretentious old men, playing at running the world.

Well there, that's your problem. Reddit's user base are full of easily excitable and stupid zealots, they'll see a post by some Ukrainian saying Germany isn't doing the utmost and then will parrot "Germany = BAD".

NYT quoting Kirby as saying the Pentagon believes she's still afloat. Lithuanian defense minister says she sunk.
