Once again the ground pounder’s favorite jet gets dusted off for action.

The Navy needs a Navy version of Warthog for these “brown water” conflicts.

I have always said that if the Air force didn't want the A-10 then they should just transfer them over to the Marines who will put them to good use.

The Navy A-4 Skyhawk wasn't to bad at the job.

I watch a video yesterday where it showed how Iran planned to overwhelm the USN by swarming them with surface craft and making them burn up expensive missiles.

Iran didn’t count on the cooperation of air force and army assets, including Army Apache helicopters being launched from ships as well as A-10s doing laps around the 7mi wide strait.

The video specifically brought up cost advantage vs cost negatives; sending a $5mil smart bombs to blow up a swarm 50’ Iranian boats is what Iran thought would happen.

The guns on the A-10s & Apaches are cost effective variable they hadn’t considered.

Summary of Russian sources​

The war-related deaths detailed in Russian sources are as follows:

• The Krivosheev study listed 8,668,400 irreplaceable losses (from listed strength): 5,226,800 killed in action, 1,102,800 died of wounds in field hospitals, 555,500 non combat deaths, POW deaths and missing were 4,559,000. Deductions were 939,700 who "were encircled or missing in action in occupied areas who were reconscripted once areas liberated" and 1,836,000 prisoners of war (POWs) returned from captivity.

The Krivosheev study is from 1997.

this is the first thing you have written that i agree with you on....a terrible, horrible and tragic loss of life.

The U.S intercepted emails from the Ukrainian government officials that they were going to reroute money back to the Biden re-election campaign.
I knew damn well some of those taxpayer dollars we gave to the Ukraine would end up in someone else's pocket.
Not surprising that the Biden administration was so gung ho to give the Ukraine money

Who knew. I guess just chalk it up as a justifiable cost of saving the last democracy in Eastern Europe…. or that’s what we’ve been told for the last four years.

I think the plan involved laundering the money through AID.

....January 6th, 2021...You think blocking a freeway is violent? I think you need a dictionary, and a history lesson buddy.

As of right now the republicans don’t have the votes to pass it in the house. Freedom Caucus is not supporting the bill.

But...but...but...the dems are to blame!

No because THEY WERE NOT ARMED, DID NOT BURN THINGS, WERE LED INSIDE A GATED AREA. Did you see Molotov cocktails--no. And they deserved to demonstrate en masse--that election was stolen by fraud, I don't care who spews how many slick lies.
But I knew someone would bring it up...

What you BETTER hope is that there is never an anger on the right that does what the left has done.

I recall watching the Trump supporters attacking cops for several hours. But go on, tell me about the protestors who spray painted a building and why they are somehow worse?

You certainly love that little bubble of alternate reality you live in.

These images show they were being led inside a gated area? I guess another example of "mostly peaceful" protests. Your delusion and denial about this is astounding.

If I'm labeling your set of pictures (1 city on 1 day) vs my set of pictures (3 different cities on 3 different days), which ones are more likely to be considered "mostly peaceful." Becuase thats the label Democrats and left wing media used for my set of pictures.

Again, how many of those were the 200+ federal agents present?

Again - how did Ray Epps magically get taken off the FBI wanted list and one of the few people that were not sent to prison?

Here’s the video of the night before; Ray Epps is telling people they need to “go into the capitol!”

The crowd around him calls him nuts and starts chanting “Fed Fed Fed!” Calling him out.

Coincidentally the next morning - Ray Epps was the first to breach gates while whispering in the ears of masked agitators…..

Only after people started asking why he wasn’t charged and removed from the most wanted list; did the DOJ hit him with a single misdemeanor charge that he got probation for.

Then there’s always pelosi being caught in video leaked from her daughter in-laws cell phone where she admits it’s her fault for not sending the requested forces.

Point being, for all the pissing and moaning about Jan 6th 2021….. The Democrats not only wanted it to happened they are HAPPY it did!
