This is an interesting attack from an economic standpoint. While the cruise and ballistic missiles were worth the cost of interception, the shahed drones cost much, much less than the cost if intercepting (a fact frustrated Ukrainian air defense could talk all day about). Since about the 1990’s we’ve been in a situation where often the missile costs less than the enemy aircraft intercepted… but the cost of the missile va the drone cost has created a huge economic disparity in war. You have to pay the price to prevent death and damage, but a drone can now bleed a country in the pocket book without killing a person.

When viewed from this perspective, the iranian attack takes a new light. Sure, they announced the attack, and then made it, and the weapons were mostly downed. But at the end of the day, israel will spend 5:1 (at least) for the victory. A few weeks of this, and israel would run out of interceptor rounds and be taking serious hits… the answer to which, is… pay millions and millions to avoid this possibility, by overstocking interceptor missiles.

I’m just above the income ranges that will be screwed over, and I feel if you are dumb enough to vote for trump, your consequences will come with his victory.

Actual breaking news in a 24-hours news cycle is never a good thing.

I’ve had a strong concern with people in EMS calling others “citizens” as if they are some special tier in society. As a paramedic I am a citizen - I am not in the military. But I see a distinct effort by some of my fellow citizens in EMS try to create some class difference because they took a whole year (less for the cops) to learn some skills at a community college (maybe just classes with some vague accreditation for cops).

I know the “vague accreditation” statement might start some conversations, and I’ve taught in EMS at the college level and taken law enforcement classes; I would actually enjoy discussing this with my fellow citizens in the police field.

Gaza should announce they plan to launch air strikes and demand that israelli civilians move to southern israel, where they also plan to bomb. If assholes are going to murder you anyway, at least remind them they’re assholes.

I’m glad your family had your back, a lot of people can’t do so, and we’re facing generational collapses.

I’ve worked with a number of financial people, and if they talk for free, generally that’s what they’re worth to pay them.

I’ve got to admit, a girl makes that face at me, I’m going to walk up and start explaining the plot of Krull (1983) for as long as she can hold it. If she makes it through the whole thing I’m pretty sure we’re legally married.

Wait, so in other countries… fraud has consequences?

…negative consequences?

Let’s not be ridiculous, OP’s mom can handle a lot more dong.

We’re running 10 years behind but otherwise this is very on track. Let’s get Hungary’s president into an open-top car as quickly as we can.

I’m not your parents and I also think you’re best being who you really are.

I visited her grave in Arlington. Nothing crude, just a low, under my breath “god dammit ruth…”

I’ve always had the perspective that they are making the poor of their states into the new slave class, with the belief that they will be above the cut-off line somehow and be better off. Do you see the same from the inside?

I grew up rural south, and I can see how that mindset will avail them right until the day their home is taken and they’re the underclass they’ve worked so hard to oppress.

It’s starting to be like it was for russia the first winter

Well, have you tried doing everything trump wants like spineless idiots that don’t know what they’re doing, but harder?

The crew lounge is at thirty-four thousand and “eight” feet.

No need to show him anything… he’s seen it.
