When commanding forces in Iraq an intel SGT introduced me to "Leroy Jenkins."
He said some of our units were better than others in avoiding this kind of unplanned, not-based-on-intel operations.
It's very telling...but it's gaming, not life and death.

@JennieGow Eh Rosberg had the perfect storm of Hamilton's unreliability and Mercedes' utter dominance pretty much guaranteeing him P2 even if miles off Lewis on certain weekends making it impossible to overcome said unreliabilities... Quite unlikely this will happen again for Perez.
@adamrangpr Even if it were real..which it's not...but what kind of asshole commander has wounded soldiers stand at attention for him from their hospital bed
@SpannersReady Ok this is way out of left field but hear me out, it really is a great podcast: Fouad Abiad's Real Bodybuilding Podcast. Super bunch of guys talking about working out, mental health, ways to poop and many other cutting edge topics. Think doomscrolling but with meatheads.
@SpannersReady I've come to realize I'm more a Hamilton fan than I am an F1 fan. Disgusted after Abu Dhabi I couldn't digest any f1 news all offseason. The season start also didn't quite tickle me with Hamilton and Merc so far off. Spain was the first race I watched this year. Coincidence? Nah
"Why not peace with Hitler?"
"Arm Britain and prolong war"
"Lend-lease, lose-lives"
"Europe for Europeans, America for Americans"
"Stay out of South America, Europe, War"
Videotape of an anti-war march in NYC July 7, 1941. Pretty much the same arguments as the ones we hear today
This is combined with a massive superiority complex & the need to be recognised as superior by others. Its deeply ingrained, cherished & is fundamentally threatened by Ukraine's courageous fight, which shows many Europeans what they would not be willing to do themselves 4/

Considering recent events, that so many French citizens living in Russia support Putin fan Le Pen is quite depressing. Do they look around Russia today and think this is what they would like for France?
Crazy how Russia seems to make such a big deal of sporadic ukranian attacks on their soil when almost their entire army is currently bombing ukranian territory. Fuck around. Find out
@MattRuda WW3? Russia can't even beat Ukraine alone. How tf they gonna launch WW3. Who's gonna stand with them? Nuclear? As if that threat isn't already on the table. Sometimes you gotta put it all on the line for humanity.
How many 'red lines' are we just gonna let Russia cross and send out thoughts and prayers in response. Time for #NATO to prove it's worth anything. That it stands for something more than posturing.
Russians knew that the train station in Kramatorsk was full of civilians waiting to be evacuated. Yet they stroke it with a ballistic missile, killing at least 30 and injuring at least a hundred people. This was a deliberate slaughter. We will bring each war criminal to justice.
Yes, we risk nuclear disaster. We risk ww3. Nobody thinks this is a trivial decision. But sometimes we just have to be willing to lay it all on the line for a better world. #Europe#freedom
I've been hosting 3 wonderful girls and their mom from #ukraine. Oh my heart I just took the 13yo, an avid dancer back home, to a dance class and I'm fucking crying it's so beautiful for her to have some normalcy again and be able to do what she loves.
How many red lines do we need the Russians to cross before we intervene. Let's end this criminal regime. Let's make us proud be Europeans again. Proud to be standing for something. For decency. For freedom. For humanity. #NATOINUKRAINENOW
