Well, the authorities can see the Czar's invisible clothes so why can't they read invisible signs?


Holy sh!t that's a good quote.   :timeout:
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Large amount of fighter aircraft activity over the low countries at the moment. A $hit ton of F-16s over Belgium and the Netherlands and a lot of American F-15s flying off the coast of Norwich.

Lots of fires in Russia lately.  Currently on fire from a probable Ukrainian strike is an oil tank farm in Bryansk, Russia.  Bryansk is about 250 miles northeast of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, and less than 70 miles from the Ukrainian border.

Also a couple of train derailments in the last 48 hours in the same region of Russia.

It feels like Putin's fighting for his life right now. There's probably no way he could survive a military defeat and remain in power, invisible signs or not. So what does he do? Grab his cash and skip town? Where could HE hide and who would protect him, the Chinese? Iran or N.Korea? Who would want to spend the rest of their lives there? Maybe Cuba? That place could fall today. The more desperate he gets, the more dangerous he gets. Maybe Biden should offer him a plane ride somewhere. The South Pole would be good with me.

Venezuela?

In all honesty if he is able to skip with money there's a ton of third world shitholes that would probably host him.

He can join the Afganistan government when they skipped out as soon as the US announced it was pulling out.
Insert witty comment here.

It would have been a lot easier to shelter him before all the war crimes charges.  China isn't allies with Putin because they like him.  They are allies with him because he helps them to undermine American influence in various parts of the world.  If he's no longer the head of Russia, I wonder what use the Chinese would have for him?

Honestly, it'd be best for the whole word if the Russians themselves decide to imprison him.  But I'm not sure that they have the means for that sort of revolution.

I wonder how many war crimes charges Syria's Assad is facing today?

Maybe they won't have to imprison him.  I've seen several articles lately about him seemingly being in poor health, maybe even showing signs of Parkinson disease.  Devil's gonna get his due, maybe sooner than later...

NOW its a proper ostfront fight!
as far as I can tell thats a proper MG42 and not a MG3



It's most likely an Italian made MG42/59. They are made by Beretta.

A little more seriously, I wonder who's porting the ammo. Don't really see any in that photo. (Maybe the little guy glowering behind him who looks like he drew the short straw.)

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
