  1. I know, I got a little over my skiis on that one. Don't tell nobody.
  2. Huh? ISIS is destroyed. Their ability to threaten U.S. interests is destroyed. All from the air, and not even with a fraction of what we're capable of... I didn't say you were gonna win hearts and minds. I said you could cap the enemy's capacity to wage offensive war entirely from the sky. Which is what happened with ISIS. You don't need nukes for that.
  3. Nah, Russ is gonna take Pitt straight to the superbowl. Steelers Country, let's steel!
  4. It's not the 1960's anymore, love. We are in new worlds.
  5. But he was a leader of men! A heartstone from which his teammates drew strength and found purpose. His effect on the field made him great, his effect on the soul makes him legendary...
  6. Damn. And they say I'm cold. Meanwhile, you're underselling Ray Lewis. 5 years as a great? Try 10. He was the premier player of his generation!
  7. I don't know, Polumalu and Reed could win games by themselves. Maybe not quite so for the cornerbacks, who sometimes were written out of the game entirely.
  8. (1) Problematic (2) Hero (3) Only at folks trying to attain a power they have no right to. Only at bad people who try to threaten human lives with their technological advancement. That's what having nukes is, it's a threat. No more, I say. The world has enough threatening actors. (4) That's ridiculous. There's no fighting American stewardship of the world. See previous posts, about how that's gonna work for Iran. Ah, c'mon! C'mooooon! Just imagine it. Forget how gen Z says they wouldn't fight for the country, once we let them drop bombs with their phones this country will be unstoppable. We could solve global warming in a month. Restrict sea trade, enforce carpooling and use of public transit the world over! People will plant trees just to have something to try and hide behind as Tik tarded teens traverse the skies from the other side of the globe. We will regulate use of the internet, to decrease the mobilization of dissidents! There will be only one trading partner for all nations, America. Decreased need for oil will cripple Russia and the West Asian cartels forever. Spice production will slow, until it is only a fraction of what it has been... and when that happens-- We'll have a corner on the scarcest commodity in the universe!
  9. Yeah! Ain't no one gonna want none of this. You'll see eventually. Peace for another century, afterwards. Guaranteed. Zero American lives lost, not counting self-immolators. This shit we're seing in Ukraine? Dawg, they might as well be firing muskets and charging horses at each other. Tanks are about as fit for a 21st century battle as a basket of rocks.
  10. That's fair, dawg. But going back to my first few posts, I describe any state attempting to get the bomb as an adversary. Holocaust for whom? You think they're gonna build, test, then deploy an H-bomb that can hit us while under air cerfew? Nah, no chance. I'm telling ya, you get enough drones... you can do anything. 3, maybe 4 hundred thousand of these things in the air at all hours? No chance. You can raid bunkers and sites with boots on the ground if you want, but easier to just blow it up. ETA: in five years of an ambitious drone program you could have entire flights controlled by AI and one pilot. 20-30 drones flying in formation for the pilot to switch between, tethered by algorithm.
  11. A bit of a bit, admittedly. But nothing I've said is untrue. The situation needs solving, we have the means. I don't like funding our adversaries in hopes that they choose to play nice. Different time. Now war really can be waged from the air. No more nation building debacles, no more anti-terrorist missions. Capacity Capping, that's the operational order of the future.
  12. Seriously, Eli took a beating in that game. He got turfed up by the last outing of one of the greatest defensive units of all time. Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrable, and Vince Wilfork. Rodney fucking Harrison! Rodney Harrison, hanging off a guy's back with the superbowl on the line! Asante Samuel, with the ball going off his hands in the last drive!!! Are you fucking kidding me!?!?! "One lucky throw."
  13. Eli, easy. I'll remember 18-1 forever. He'd be in for that alone to me. Eta: Look, I got a lot of respect for Phil Rivers. Motherfucker beat my boys at home with a busted knee. Nothing but respect for that bastard. But this is the Hall of Fame. Not the Hall of Stats.
  14. Oh for sure. He came out with nothing to lose and somehow played so well he made the Browns start to hate winning. That's fucking hard to do. To win so hard you make the entire organization look like clowns!
  15. You know what, I'm good with it. I came around on ol' Joe. He played like a gunslinger last year!
  16. Honestly, nah... I don't think that changes anything. Why or whatfor is ultimately irrelevant. I'm in the now, and now calls for action to prevent this occurrence. Nobody wants to see Iran with the bomb, who cares what drove them to go after it. No way. No way can we just take our hands off the wheel and let the number of nuclear powers increase. It's not about being fair or even consistent- it's about not letting the global security situation become unmanageable. The idea that a state has a right to get the bomb is one that I have to combat. No, no, no. No, I laid out a little scenario that would be functional and even fashionable. Air enforcement. Sure, it's horrible. Lot of people would die... America would look a little evil for a while. But the upside is putting a cap on nuclear proliferation while demonstrating the capacities of American arms as we head into a second cold war with China. Also, we can finally start exploring ICBM interception capabilities and start producing them at scale. Once we have a way to keep drones equipped with anti-nuke methods in the air at all hours, at all places, then we can get in on the information war that China's kicking our asses at.
  17. Think about it, D. All the sweet Army and Airforce jobs for flying those drones! Not to mention the maintenance. Boeing and Lockheed will be rolling out plants in Ohio and Indiana. A midwest revitalization as a munitions factory just in time to enforce 2nd-tier status on Russia. China awaits.
  18. Don't need to nuke Iran. A no-fly zone and indefinite Air Curfew would probably stop them indefinitely... and no need for boots on the ground. We can run the entire campaign from 15,000 feet with enough drones to block out the sun. For as long as it takes. Hip, hip! Hooray!
  19. Only one option. It should be state policy that attainment or attempted attainment of nuclear weapons is a direct threat to the United States. A red line. We couldn't really do anything about North Korea, because of China. But let's stop there. No more nuclear arsenals. Now I'm not a fascist or nothing. That shit should be in our constitution. Democratic, like. With votes and all that. America! Nuke Police! - That's something the people can get behind.
  20. I saw it as putting bandaids on the problem rather than solving it. It was supposed to extend the amount of time it would take Iran to develop a bomb but I just don't understand how far you're supposed to kick that can. Deferring a problem isn't solving it.
  21. Now, after that text sex hatefuck we all just witnessed... I'm not a huge fan of the Iran nuclear deal, pulling out of it was one thing of Orange Mussolini's doing that I agree with. I don't like playing nice with Iran at all.
