Great Goddamn. Is it possible to fight a civil war from a motorized wheelchair? Guess we’re about to find out.

It has now been 76 days since the Russians launched the Battle of the Dohnbas. This would make it one of the longest major battles in the 20th and 21st centuries. Many times longer than Kursk,e Bagration Normandy, Bulge, etc. Its much closer to WWI (Somme, Passchendale, Verdun)

Another of the few people who actually understand what is going on militarily in Ukraine. Don’t listen to Welsh and his ilk. He knows about as much about military matters as a cat knows about manufacturing steel alloys.

Literally just had the nightmare where you’re back in college and forgot about your classes and now you’re failing

I have a nightmare every few weeks that I’m back in the army and forget my cover (hat). I have no idea why. I never forgot it when I was in the army. Not even once. The nightmare makes no sense. I didn’t even worry about it when I was in the actual army and never had that dream when I was serving.

If you didn’t grow up in a place in the US with a lot of white conservative evangelical Christians, please take it from those of us who did: these people are very dangerous, and very serious.

Fuck yes they are. Liberals who did not grow up around these people have NO IDEA. No idea at all. They are usually comically clueless. An evangelical sees himself (the male pronoun used very deliberately here) and his whole family dying while taking you with them as a good thing. Because, see, they are going to heaven and that will send you to hell where you belong.

The main reason that I am worried about red states getting control of nuclear weapons in the upcoming Civil War II is that they will not hesitate to use them to bring about the Kingdom of Jesus. You libs who didn’t grow up around these nutters think I am exaggerating. I absolutely promise you that I am not.

All the “realpolitik” types assume that if NATO/the US went to war with Russia, we’d be slugging it out on the ground with artillery like the Ukrainians are currently doing. Come on, y’all, it just would not happen that way. There’s a reason we spend so goddamn much on our air power, and it’s not to send people to die in artillery barrages.

Hint: artillery is big, difficult to move, easy to see and when you fire it, the fucking round leads right back to your position.

We don’t have to fight like the Ukrainians are fighting because we have tons of things the Ukrainians do not and likely never will.
