"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Russia began its war against Ukraine and, in effect, Europe in general on 20 February 2014.
Yet here we are. Nearly 16 years later. Are we fighting to win? Are we mass producing cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and long-range attack drones for Ukriane's Armed Foces?

What a flood of messages to wake up to.
It's not the dumbest idea I've ever seen, and it's not a battleship, but there's definitely a few people in NAVSEA crying over those renders.
Naming it the Trump class is everything I expected and less. But, I'll believe it when they build it.

You know how all books on battleships have a few pages on Sovetsky Soyuz and H-39, with phrases like ”construction was plagued with difficulties”, ”technical challenges with the revolutionary [insert system] meant progress was slow”, and ”the partially complete hull was broken up”?

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
