Jace, Extat

Alright, fine. I'll allow it. And in the spirit of allyship I'mma start a Hearts of Iron 4 game when I get home and overthrow Hitler to make Germany the security force of Europe against the insidiousness of socialism and fascism.

I don't disagree at all, but the Baltic countries are members of NATO. They would be defended by the rest of the alliance even if the US went full-isolationist. You may well be correct, but America doesn't need a "right" to prevent other countries from acquiring nukes. It simply can. 100% agree with this. It's shameful not to arm Ukraine as best we are able. We should be giving them 1,000 high-end drones a day with the munitions included. And we could.

Drones, my good man. Drones and the ability to produce them. Tanks and human beings on the ground and even pilots is 20th century warfare, it'll all be done from the air by robots. I'm curious to see what the next generation of aircraft carriers look like. I suspect they'll be much larger in size with much smaller crews.

The size of Russia's arsenal is actually a problem for them. Too big, too expensive to maintain. They are entire generations of military technology behind the rest of NATO. They fight conventionally as if it's 1945, and have spent their best materiel in Ukraine with nothing to show for it. Yes, Russia is still dangerous. For now. But their capacity to be offensive was lost in 1991, we just didn't know it for sure until 2022.

More's the pity if that's true, but I don't think it is. The US could fight every country on this planet at once, at least to the point of preventing them from gaining nukes if they don't have them already. And the public might be more on-board with that than you'd think, once the manufacturing jobs to prosecute that war start popping up across the country. Gonna take a lot of drones, drone engineers, and drone makers to bring peace for another three generations.

For now Germany doesn't need an army at all, I think. They exist under the nuclear umbrella of both America and France, and men and women in uniforms is not the future of warfare. Yes, there is real and disturbing possibility that the US withdraws its protections from Europe. But, and this is a big BUT, Russia is done. They're spent, and this folly in Ukraine is the last gasp of a dying state. Their only real play left is nuclear blackmail, but that's of limited use. They're not going to nuke Latvia or Estonia, and if they tried to invade then even a US-less NATO would skullfuck them before they made it out of the Baltics. I'd put my money on France and Poland alone against Russia at this point. The real problem is China, which is active in Africa and has stated ambitions against Taiwan. No. No no no no no. And no again. No more nuclear powers, anywhere, for any reason. If Japan or Germany or anyone at all attempts to develop nuclear weapons I would beg my congressperson to put forward a declaration of war against that nation. That should be US policy, stated outright and backed with use of force.

I don't think I like that. Artillery is for 2nd-rate militaries, but I don't want Germany having even a 3rd-rate military capacity. None at all would be my preference.

I'd have given it to Dejean, for the pick-six.

I'm not really sure when she got booed, I just saw her the once on the broadcast and then in my Google feed it said she was booed. Couldn't say about Trump.

From what I saw they only showed her once, pretty late into the game, and she got booed

The only places on the internet I go are here, profootballtalk, and google. I'm just not very online. I use youtube and spotify, but mostly for podcasts. And now I feel old, had no idea that was about Drake.

Yeah, that might have been a little high-concept for ol' Jace. I didn't get any of that except the two shots at Diddy.

I'd be more wary than ever. Mahomes is going for God Emperor of the NFL here. He'll make it a game if through sheer tyranny of will.

I'm... pretty sure that's 7 months. Like, pretty sure.

Um... I'm countin' on my fingers here and could be wrong, but ain't that six months?

Then call "hands to the face". That wasn't OPI

Horrible call

Are we not at six months yet? When did we make that bet?

The fuck is this rendition of America the Beautiful??? Yuck I think the Eagles win in overtime and Barkley has over 150 rushing, I'll bet my title on the former.

Well, it's a dark hour.

I... agree with every word of this.

Yeah baby, we're gettin' a Saturday night show.

That's a pretty good response there, Ty...

Oooh, yeah! Whatchu think about that @DMC???

Don't forget sweeping pardons for his family.
