That looks like a staged photo op. Why isn't he in uniform? Where is his weapon? Why is he only leaving to fight now? Where is his unit? I've seen this script since 1998 when I was a junior midshipman. It's all so tiresome.

You seem worried about how America looks. Why should we give af what we look like to the rest of the world? This whole 'looking strong' thing is political dick waving contest.

Because we've invaded several countries over the past 20 years, displaced millions, killed hundreds of thousands, and pretty soon everyone else starts thinking we're an irrational bully and gangs up on us. I'm worried about the blowback. Also, there are many countries so we need credibility for negotiations and cooperation.

That being said, he is correct in his criticismn of Germany, although the original energy deals between Russia and the EU are decades old when Russia waasn't considered a threat.

Please advise re where these hundreds of thousands of people have been killed by the US over the past 20 years. I have always hated the post-2001 wars, but you can discuss those things without just making up bullshit numbers.

JOE BIDENS RAPE FINGER
Apparently Biden had to push back his presser because the Admin is having trouble with Germany not getting on board with SWIFT and other sanctions that will cripple Russias ability to do business with foreign countries.

Yeah? How much of our status as the global reserve currency and therefore per-capita GDP depends on our military hegemony?

The Germans get their gas from GAZPROM and coal from China. Seems like they don't want their gas and coal shut off.

Shows we are at some sort of heightened risk. Good job Brandon. Curious if our North Jersey friends are seeing similar fighter jet activity. Saw one member post the laughing emoji to my last post. Just understand that its local jets here in NJ that keep watch over NYC and DC when there are issues. McGuire AFB and the 177th Fighter wing are located in the stretch of highway I spoke of.

You wanted us out of it. Why would we do anything to reduce the risk?

"local jets"

It's called the Air National Guard.


and it does not show we are at some sort of heightened risk. You have no clue if they are just having training exercises or flying every day missions. Love the way you jump all the way to that conclusion based on a few more jets flying over. :roflmao:

There's three F16s in this picture from NJ Air Nat Guard website and probably a fourth F16 in the formation with the photographer. Damn, we must have been on high alert that day! Stupid Biden!

I love the Russian position here - "we're being met with flowers from people happy to see us and we're doing it to drive out the nazis and Putin is the most honorable man in the world!"

Today's BBC Newshour podcast is filled with good stuff.
