Any word on whether they've actually used them over the last three days?

Anthony Hill5 said:I suspect they never truly believed Lukashenko would actually get involved in all of this. A massive, monumental mistake.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that they had zero defense set up for Crimea.

That’s their biggest screw-up.

velvetcyclist95 said:The Germans are absolutely tearing into Swift.

And honestly, they shouldn't let them off the hook either.

The Germans have a lot of explaining to do.

Roger Nelson5 said:Has anyone actually verified this yet? It looks like those MQ-9 Reapers are hitting their marks with some seriously scary precision.

Pretty sure that footage is from Syria.

Haven't heard about any confirmed strikes yet.

Nicholas Watson said:Wait, "Nazi Russian forces"? Why not just call them communist forces then?
Their whole end goal is bringing back the USSR, not building some Third Reich nightmare.

Just take a look at those Russian militias running around the Luhansk and Donetsk areas.
It’s basically a messy cocktail of old-school USSR leftovers and hardcore Russian ultranationalism.

cosmicgull52 said:Have you no shame? A nation five times more powerful attacks from four different directions. Of course you won't attempt a border defense; you will end up like the old Kingdom of America. I argued on Thursday that surrender was the better option because dying is futile. But when I witness how the Russians—and again, my heart goes out to those children—and their chaotic schemes are being met by forces stronger than the late Lazanski, I think there might actually be a chance. They certainly have the heart for it.

I'm with you on this one.

But since the Russians haven't made any real headway in Donbas and are struggling big time in the east, I think the Ukrainians were being pretty naive thinking an attack wouldn't come through Belarus or Crimea.

That Crimea-Kherson front looks super weird to me. They're only connected by this tiny strip of land, yet the Russians managed to push through so deep.
I really think that's been their biggest blunder in this whole war.

swiftjackal11 said:We'll see how things play out in Russia. According to you, Vladimir Putin is practically flying out of the Kremlin.

Dictators don't give a damn about what the public thinks.

The real headache for him is those oligarchs.

But honestly, the European Union crowd isn't exactly itching to drop any heavy-duty sanctions...

rowdytiger13 said:It’s funny... you don't see any anti-war protests happening across Europe, yet there are plenty in Russia. Of course, they get shut down by force, and around 1,700 people have been arrested.

In the European Union, things mostly move forward when the US or the UK/NATO steps in.

rowdytiger13 said:I get that, but honestly, this Russian military doesn't seem nearly as invincible as everyone was claiming back when they were talking it up in Paris. At this rate, the Americans could probably handle them on their own.

We're talking about a broke, underdeveloped nation here.

If they didn't have nukes, nobody would even give them the time of day.

Nancy Gomez26 said:For Poland, a sovereign Ukraine is a matter of vital national security. If their assessment is that this administration can hold its own against Russia, then sending aid is simply the logical conclusion. (In my view, their decision to provide help serves as a barometer for the actual situation on the ground). Past conflicts belong in history books; we are watching a new era of history being written in real-time.

I kind of wish Pilsudski had just built a massive powerhouse alliance between Poles, Lithuanians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians. One strong state like that would have kept both the Germans and the Russians at arm's length.

vividtiger72 said:Ukraine, Belarus, and even parts of Russia seem to think that aligning themselves with the West will trigger some kind of overnight miracle. I've experienced this firsthand while talking to people in those regions, especially in Belarus. They genuinely believe they can transform into a powerhouse like Poland practically overnight, but let's be realistic: they're more likely to end up looking like Bulgaria, Romania... or perhaps one of those developing nations in the North America... if not something even worse.

The only thing they'll actually achieve is making it easier for their people to move abroad for work, much like how Ukrainians have been heading over to Poland for years now.

Romanians have a 50% higher GDP per capita than Belarusians, and even Bulgarians are ahead by 30%.

mistyotter35 said:There’s zero debate here: James Bond. He's been the man since 1962.

If I'm right, the guy's got the highest kill count out there.

Jack Morgan2 said:Rambo, Rocky, Ripley, Sarah Connor.

It's wild how much Rambo and Rocky have changed.

In the first movies, they're just these outsiders living on the fringes, but by the sequels, they've basically turned into full-blown superheroes.

rustywalker1 said:I don't get why people are hating on this movie. It's actually pretty solid. I liked how they wove the history together, too. Honestly, way better than the second one.

Is it at least fun to watch?

Carol Turner92 said:So did she actually end up marrying that taxi driver and starting a TikTok channel about her life as an American woman living in the States? 😬

Hey, we said no spoilers... 🤣

EDIT

The whole story takes place in Lisbon, Portugal.
Honestly, this could’ve been an amazing ad if they didn't make us look like total savages. 😁

Our audience might really dig this one since the whole thriller takes place right in San Diego.

The book is actually an adaptation of a novel—not sure if they're working on a movie version of the book here in the States, but I'm definitely intrigued by how we're being portrayed.

The trailer looks pretty solid for this kind of flick. All in all, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Terry Hernandez10 said:Seth MacFarlane is doing a reboot

Look, he crushed it with that one sci-fi show, but I just don't see how this makes things any better...

Just gave it another watch.

No real deep conversations here, just one solid cameo. You've got that guy from Mallrats and My Name Is Earl popping in, and honestly, the only decent addition to the cast is Rosario Dawson.

Honestly, the whole thing was a total letdown. Not even worth the hype.

I'm really hoping the third one turns out way better.

frozenskipper12 said:Wes decided to just poke fun at himself and that whole quirky aesthetic he’s known for.

The movie was alright. Looks great, sure, but his animated stuff is still his peak. Pick an animal.

Lady Gaga is my favorite too.
