FNC Big Weekend Show had segment on liberals threating to move overseas. One reporter talked to NY Students. They also talked to two Albanian students. They mentioned if people know how corrupt it was overseas, they weren't leave the US. That is not a uniquely Democrat/Liberal problem. Reminds me o...

Thank you guys for the ST lore, but I agree this should be moved elsewhere.

Oh shit. Unless you have a world class ensemble of singers and use the German lyrics…just don't!

Especially the aria of the Queen of the Night is a major stumbling block.

I’ve heard mention of moves to the countries you might expect, that is the UK, France, Spain, and Italy. But for some reason I’ve also seen Albania pop up (???), and I’d love to hear the reasoning behind that. ....Oh, they are NOT fond of outlanders in Albania. Keep your mouth shut and behave yours...

For some reason, this comment gave me an inspiration. I‘ll run it by Jan.

Got some questions about the People's Republic of China. I take it they don't want the USSR to win, but they want the west to bleed for a while. Besides staging troops on the border and a few incidents, are they do anything to hinder the Soviets? I remember a mention of China reaching out to West G...

She is using snail mail in wartime…

Interestingly, what she just learned is not THAT hard to find out by other means.

I liked Gazprom-Gerd being professional.

"Under the terms of the treaty, Russia lost control of Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and its Caucasus provinces of Kars and Batum. The lands comprised 34% of the former empire's population, 54% of its industrial land, 89% of its coalfields, and 26% of its railways. ...

In a Fallout 4 mod, you can fire surströmming ammunition with an AK5. Magazine and optional suppressor are surströmming cans, and the action ejects small fishbones

He is. Special Recon loves themselves the long gun.

Ah. You never know with Americans

Senior Chief clutching his pearls. Wow. Y‘all keep calling out lefties as crybaby snowflakes but when something happens that you don‘t like your reactions are pretty similar, just with more chest-beating and knuckle dragging, and the occasional mass murder fantasy thrown in. It‘s a shitshow, on both...

The KGB defector could have information about the Soviet raiders somewhere in his assortment of data. The damn things are partly KGB manned, and they are potential terror weapons.

Nikolaevski Komsomolets was one of a handful of specialised raiders designed for just two purposes. The first was to make specific political points, the second was to attack specific but lightly or undefended military targets. Which begs the question, are others still lurking out there or were they...

Thanks Jotun - that's a good point. That said, I think that an operation like this would be 'sold' internally as broadly as possible. it would indeed be sold as 'a message for Bonn', (and as you rightly point out)' for NZ, Chile, Brazil, the Caribbean and Central American countries not on the USSR'...

Good to see this again. The only thing I do not really agree with is that the message is for Bonn. Bonn at D+13 is a collection of bombed-out shells of former government buildings, and West Germany has already been preparing for a war of national survival for fifty years and fought it for thirteen d...

We overcompensated. See it as a compliment
