Has anybody else noticed the two US Beech RC-12X Guardrails flying daily over Lithuania? It almost looks like they are perhaps monitoring traffic between Russia and/or Belarus and Kaliningrad (that wedge of land Russia owns on the Baltic). The callsigns are usually Yank01 and Yank02.

Intercepting all those Russian transmissions of woe and lamentation over their situation in Ukraine.

Fun video of an entirely staged fake raid on a fake "murder plot" against one of Russia's top television propaganda mouthpieces:

Not sure whats worse that its the modern KGB being so bad at faking this, the initial entry into the building, plastic bottle Molotov cocktails (lol), or The Sims games mistaken for "sim cards".

I've always known Russia was a turd world country with some lipstick on but I've been kind of surprised by how inept they actually are at basically everything.

Your grandchildren cant afford a starter home and the Country's debt to GDP is over 120%...but glad you had the most fun.

Most of them couldn't even teach their millennial kids basic skills such as cooking and preparing their own meals. Now I know why these drive thru lanes are backed all the way to the road and why Doordash has seen so much success.

Even more comical is that these idiots will claim it's no big deal and Russia will sell it elsewhere. It's like watching monkeys **** a basketball.

They will easily find buyers. You thinking they wont or that the West can just buy it elsewhere is what is actually comical. You morons are so detached from reality.

Look where we source the components for our electronics needs. If we don't help Taiwan, it sends a message to China that S Korea and Japan are theirs for the taking. We need to be developing a Pacific version of NATO - S Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and hopefully the Philippines as a minimum. A couple of weeks ago F-15s with live AA missiles flew from Kadena (Okinawa) when China was playing around Taiwan. Seems like there are also either F-22s or F-35s at Kadena and plenty of tankers. Japan has two squadrons of F-15s and patrol aircraft at Naha - about 25 miles south of Kadena. It looks like we'd be hurting if Taiwan is taken, and screwed without Japan and Korea - unless we do some massive development of US built electronic components in a damn big hurry. The fact that there's water between Taiwan and China means an attack would almost certainly involve airpower - blitzkrieg isn't going to be a factor. Getting troops on the ground fast enough and in quantity enough is going to be a challenge for China.

We should sanction China. I've heard that is very effective.

You're giving us way too much credit; none of us could change or prevent bad policy any more than you can. Besides FDR started the bar tab, and in general dems are the ones who kept adding other "entitlements".

You elected HW Bush who was pushing globalism and started a ridiculous war in the middle east, elected a corrupt Gov from Arkansas who continued the push of globalism through NAFTA and granted China favored Nation status (not to mention furthering his own personal corruption), then elected HW's low IQ son, then the half black hardcore leftist. 28 years of selling out your Country...but yeah, the Boomers couldnt do anything to stop it.

Just keep the good times going baby, eff the future generations.

Well your last sentence highlights another problem... actually two problems. One, the cost of college education has grown way faster than inflation and it is not comparable to what kids in the 1960s and 1970s had to pay. Also, part of that inflated cost is due to the fact that these kids are now driven into college rather than 2 year schools or the trades (although we are starting to gradually see that shift). Increased demand, govt involvement in education and the proliferation of all of these nonsensical/bogus degrees. And I've said it before but most people just shake it off, but a lot of these kids at 18 do not have good people in their families or schools or peer group advising them on the right decisions to make and are encouraging these guys to strap on all of this syudent debt... telling them that it is worth it and that it will pay off. This also goes along with your voting rant. We allow these kids to vote at 18 knowing that they are not responsible and haven't had much life experience to make good judgements... yet we shackle them with these basketball number college debt numbers and ruin their lives. Am I saying that there are not 18 year olds that responsible and can make wise decisions? No. But lets be real, you brought up the fact that making them votes is irresponsible, yet very few people will argue that allowing them to borrow tens of thouaands on worthless degrees is just as irresponsible.

Boomers were raised by the Greatest Generation. Their kids were raised by MTV.
