Well just read the Talk page for an idea. Usually works well.

Needs approval of provincial parliament to boot him out, if I recall, but no will to do that. He's lost his powers before and now everything as he's taken a leave of absence to presumably do heroin or whatever in "detox" in Chicago. Who knows though, he might win reelection . Lots of people in this city are no better than whores, will tolerate any dumbass as long as he promises to make them pay less tax. Of course they'll bitch about services the city needs to provide minus that money....

Well, this might end well after all, on a bigger scale - no need for the US and Russia to jump in. Ukraine's probably screwed for a while to come, but seems unavoidable. I wasn't aware that US planed to "jump in", or that that either had any right to jump in, although Russia already has jumped in for a real estate grab in Crimea and continue to exploit the situation as it did in all other NATO leaning countries in the region. Interesting to see what you leaped on there but if Russia jumps in, the situation gets hotter and the risk of the US and whatever NATO countries have notable forces doing like wise and things getting worse increases, don't you think ?

Think he meant they should be thankful NATO wasn't more severe (maybe take out more embassies )

Sort of a customer service role, mainly listening to them complain about an application or complain about the development I've done as it doesn't meet with some insane specification they've invented. Right now though, is a bit of unseemly business where we're using the letter of a spec to weasel out of not fixing a POS patch.

All you need is a nice flashy campaign that lasts until the media and then the outside world stops caring so much.

What, were no Leia cosplayers for Star Wars Day ? For shame.

Well I call you that because that's pretty much what you are even with the act, aside from your post entirely. It's not really that hard to understand you and others' assessment of them either knowing your biases reading this thread and others before. Well that and that topic not really being what this thread is about, heh. Not that the reading is all that hard, I went to school with Croats and Serbs and did talk about the wars with them as it's something notable about their countries' history (like the murder rate, corruption in mine). Some fell on the sides I expected, others did not.

Ah, it's funny what a **** you are. As for consensus, I'm not sure about that, really, while it was going on here people were a bit suspect of the "Serbs are the new Nazi" type reports to justify NATO's target practice. But then again, this entire thread is an exercise in futility as everyone's just dismissing the other.

Hey, nothing wrong with being actively aggressive!

To be fair, that does come across as Serbia deserving the NATO attacks

Come now, show USMC ad as well, though they're not really emphasizing how badass they are, of late most seem to be on the prestige of being part of an old service or what the Corps can do for you as a person.

Bunch of customers visiting, as well as some internal suits. So this week will be sucky as everyone'll be in the office and we have to be on best behaviour (all part of a further scam of the client as well).

Well, for Iraq, I wonder how they would have made out with 400k, rather than the 100k they went with. Just need enough people to waste everyone in an entire area. Press be damned. That's hilarious.

Probably end up buying them back.

Hm, always thought the Stingers were the problem and the real nuisance. RPGs as an anti-gunship weapon are pretty pants though, the amount the Somalis had to throw up to hit the US choppers was impresive, from what I recall. Clever theory by the Somali commander too, saw the helicopters as a weak point. Still not sure what the hell you're on with the second point, it's pretty obvious that selling girls into slavery and abducting them is bad. I guess we need to just say "______ is bad!" before any other point or comment.

Endless Space. Well trying to figure it out. Also played some NS2, am pretty clueless so far so am just following people around for the time being . Game does take a while to get the hang of, at least in terms of practices and just learning the maps. Community is amazingly friendly, or more than I thought anyway, no bastards whining for jet/shotty, etc.

Stingers were the problem, not RPGs. But in terms of the response, I'd imagine they'd do what Oakley hinted at, shame the US didn't do it though - not like the world would care that much for a while. That's pretty stupid then.

I guess pointing out that all states are self-interested meant all that. Okay then, off to go write a treatise rationalizing kidnapping and sexual slavery.

Well no other blatant reason, you think the US/EU likes spending money and risking their people's lives for no return? Security reasons I'd guess for most of those - no need to have some failed state be the next training ground for terrorists to come bomb you in a couple of years. Heh, thinking of how Russia would have handled the whole 'Blackhawk Down' incident if it were their people.

Uh, I think that's pretty much every power.

Doesn't doing crap like that make it easier for Russia to sell the idea of the ethnic Russians needing protection ?

Terrorism I say.

'Murica, **** Yeah! Future Edition With any luck, this one will railroad you and hold your hand down a linear path from setpiece to setpiece. PMCs are the new Arabs.
