    That's the heavy subsonic ALCM, right? Do you know what platforms apart from Tu-22M3M will carry it? Would be cool if Su-34...

    As to Hellduck, it won't be able to carry Kh-50. It's too long, 6 meters.

    Oh, by the way. Who's about to join Russian delegation in PACE? Right!


    Now it's a good time to buy shares in some decent popcorn making business. A lot of shares.

    Huh, it's fate then... 2024 is quite far off, but interesting discussions between Poklonskaya and the Ukrainian PACE delegates are hopefully coming soon. Finally Crimea will have the voice it deserves :)

    @Alcibiades For how long you're going to remain in that location? I'll be there in two weeks.

    And the article mentions only the barrel, so the turret itself will stay, right? I mean, an ambulance without an APS is like a fish without a bicycle.

    The latest gun kill in air combat on record, or how the mythical Buk the Russians loaned to the rebels actually looked like at that time.

    Yeh. Third party would be a waste of a vote, probably like how Republicans felt with Gary Johnson in 2016.

    Brexit or Conservative Party are both ugh and I'd never vote for either. And UKIP are probably more right wing then Trump is now and should just replace their logo with a Swastika.

    UKIP have also tried to send me letters via post, I'm baffled as I'd elect an actual Marxist over them...

    The tories are an interesting bunch politically. I'd say it's a bit of myth that the parties are more left wing then America, they start off in a more left wing country, but the philosophies and personalities aren't much different if you talk to tories and republicans.

    That's why I haven't met many American Dems that'd support Tories.

    They'd support liberals, but not tories.

    May has been almost more vicious on immigration then Trumpie...

    Well, the Saudis have some new toys too - TOS-1A. I kind of hope they won't have much fun with them.

    Don't you worry, they likely won't. You see, TOS-1A is a very effective weapon, but it has two minor downsides. To be effective, it needs to be properly used and by properly i mean that it has nigh zero fuck-up tolerance.

    Someone threw abuse at me on FB for posting my predictions for 2020 based on candidate

    Biden Vs Trump - Who can grab them by the pussy the most?
    Sanders/Beto vs Trump - Mudslinging about each others past a lot. Dems get split and lose.
    Gravel Vs Trump - LOL. No comment needed.
    Tulsi Vs Trump - Who can support the least worse dictator competition.
    Bloomberg Vs Trump - Gold plated debating hall, both candidates arrive in limos. Both debate who is a bigger dick. Then police come in, stop and frisk both of them and both are jailed for illegal drugs.
    Hillary Vs Trump - Hillary doesn't turn up at the debates as she isn't running again, so Trump auto wins.

    ...

    Gurd is satire even non allowed now???

    Let AOC take the democrat nomination.
    Do it Dems.

    I think that if the Dems really want to win, the receipt is simple. Pick some good looking, charismatic young dude, almost white but not completely, put out billboards with his face and the slogan "We will make a better future for everybody!" on every corner, and never let him say one word about politics. Let him praise Oprah and some other celebrities, let him talk about fashion and books and whatever as long as it's safe from any controversy, but no politics. When it comes to politics, his agenda is "better future for everybody!" And he'll win.
    The problem is that there are a hundred powerful democrats who want the seat for themselves and who would never let anybody else, especialy some no-good nobody claim it.

    Развернут ордер ложных, большой и серебристый,
    Как здорово, что все мы здесь сегодня прорвались...
