Errrm, 5 of the worlds largest exporters are European

Slow clap…

(Assuming you are American) No my friend, YOU must stop him. If you do your duty, voting, and working as hard as possible during campaigns to get the reasonable choice elected, yoy are doing your duty. If all you do is bitch, this is what you get.

If the UK hadn’t done Brexshit, there probably could have been a way to add Canada to the EU as an associated member, like Norway, Switzerland, etc…

Im rich in notifications, i know.

Fucking World Central Kitchen! They keep using their so called refugee food in these stainless cylindrical containers so that Hamas can make rockets! Terrorists!

Du duaaa

Europe has many stealth subs, I mean scary stealth, like pop up undetected in the middle of a US carrier group and “sink” a US carrier stealthy, several aircraft carriers, and four or five of the world’s top 10 arms exporter countries.

Missiles, Eurofighters, Rafales, Gripens, F35s, nukes, last gen frigates and destroyers…

Overwhelmingly superior in tech, generation, and number to what Russia has and Ukraine is being given. Also a tech and and manufacturing might vastly superior. Ukraine is not Nato. Even without the US, Europe would wipe the floor with Russia, and Putin knows.

That said, if combined with the US would really make it a special operation.

Also remeber that the USSR was able to defeat Hitler because of Allied material, especially US through Lend-lease.

A shotgun with buckshot should be enough to take them down, and in New Jersey there are more guns than in Texas. I saw this in a documentary (The Baritones or something)

Whistleblower deaths should have all of a company’s director’s investigated by default. It may be that 99% are innocent, but just one or two seeing their massively valuable stock, and options in danger, may be driven to such actions on their own.

This is actually how the weather was before the 2000’s. I’ve lived in Spain on an off since the 70’s. In those days it snowed in Madrid several times a year. Now it’s rare. Torrential rains on the coast and flash floods were a fairly common occurrence, to the point that a massive river channel was built around Valencia to prevent a flood like they had in the 50’s, and which probably saved the city from the last flood, from the DANA.

But yeah. Climate change sucks. Many climate scientists say that the worst part is not the 1Cº increments, but wildly changing conditions.

What you explain sounds totally reasonable. The thing is that older Boeings And DCs and MDs have an American old school philosophy about them, think of the muscle car era, while Airbuses have been conceived different from the start. Even the 300/310 (2nd gen, with the two man cockpit) adopted a computer driven approach, while on the American ones, the computers were simply an auxiliary feature. The result is that certifying such an integral part of the system, based on computer systems is an iffy proposition. I have seen this same issue, with ATMs. While the hardware may be totally sound, getting computer spares has become extremely expensive. Replacing 286 CPUs, for example is really difficult, you can’t really find new ones on the market. Solutions exist but it’s really about economics. These solutions can extend A300’s life, up to 60 years. That’s fairly long.

DC 3’s still fly, but many have been essentially rebuilt, to the last rivet. Apart from the warbirds, the commercial ones are still used because it’s very hard to find modern planes that can replace the DC3’s unique capabilities. Rough landing strips, robustness, easy low tech maintenance, etc. They are expected to be flying into their 100th birthdays.

I think we are forgetting the rate at which Trump chews through allies. Kennedy is simply another useful idiot. He was useful to have his idiot base vote for the turd. They will (maybe) look at the numbers, pharma will say that stocks will go down, and Kennedy will be substituted by another useful idiot. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I have a hard time believing the Marine’s example. I’ve been in the military, and I was trained to ALWAYS do an eject when pulling out a magazine. It becomes a reflex. Also, it’s drilled into your brain that a gun, unless extracted, is by default loaded. Basic gun training.

When CDs were introduced they were touted as essentially eternal and damage proof. Id take M discs xlaim with a pinch of salt

All things considered, stability and six full seats? Look up Fiat Multipla.

I once saw an asshole who managed to park a compact car on 4 Spaces, one being a handicapped spot. I took a picture, but cant find it.

Passive aggressive. FTFY

One of the main problems of the Dems is playing nice, and expecting rules to be followed.

It’s time to fight using their weapons.

Well, he was going to turn him gay, no?

Minor Wisdom… heh heh heh
