That's cool you believe in free speech, me too, but calling everyone who disagrees with you dumb/democrat/hitler/maga/antifa/nazi/privilaged etc. is a rather reductive use of free speech and doesn't help prove a point when you're capable of coherent thought and conversation.


A point I never argued


Russia could launch nukes, sure, to accomplish what exactly? Russia uses those exact model of bombers to lob cruise missiles from safe distances into civilian population centers. Valid targets, successful strike, russia cries about "muh nooks!" and zigger appologists pearl clutch while the US and every NATO member is better for having less pieces the opposing side has a chess board. What percent of military hardware and soldiers KIA/WIA constitutes a threat? What do you consider a threat? Does having one nuclear weapon make you a threat? I don't understand your point, and won't revert to ad hominem, even though you opened up with one, and immediately went into a strawman.



I like analogies too. This is more like the United States launching a blitzkrieg on mexico, aiming for regime change in Mexico City, but being beaten back to within 30 miles of the border after three years and losing 54 strategic bombers in Alaska, Washington and Maine in a single day to FPV drones piloted in Cancun.



Which war did the US lose because of a lack of political support, and not undefined, unrealistic and unachievable political objectives by military means? MCDP-1, Warfighting qoutes Carl von Clausewitz;

"The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes"

Establishing a beacon of feminism and democracy in Afghanistan was never going to happen, nor propping up a puppet government in South Vietnam.

You're also wrong to think I'm a Ukrainian, and after watching a non-NATO, neighboring country completely dismantle the image of the big iron bear to be a rotted corps of military mismanagement and kleptocracy I'm not convinced russia is a credible threat to anyone besides trying to bumrush Estonia and failing miserably at this point. They seem content throwing human lives into machine guns in true russian fashion though, so you have to give them credit for their consistency.

Strawman

Ukraine cannot defeat Russia in an existential war. Its not possible. Ukraine can only survive, by prolonging the conflict beyond the Russian resolve to continue. Thats it. There is no scenario where when the dust settles, Russia is gone and Ukraine exists. But Ukraine no longer existing is a very real possibility.

Emotional appeal

Russia can turn Ukraine to radioactive dust the minute it decides to. It has chosen not to, because logically no-one really wants to see nuclear war. Except Ukraine, apparently. Why the hell, when your only way to win is for the Russians to get tired of war, would Ukraine do something like attack Russia's nuclear arsenal? That's fucking braindead! The only reason Ukraine isn't already glowing in response is because you don't have any nuclear weapons. In other words, Ukraine is NOT a real threat.

False equivalence

This is not the modern day Agincourt, its the equivalent of a woman slapping a man and then strutting around because he stood there and took it. As proof of that, if the USA hit 40 Russian nuclear bombers like that, Armageddon would already have happened, because that would have been a real threat to Russian existence.

We can't even muster enough political support to win our own wars, WTF makes you think we'll come over there and win yours for you? And Europe can't afford to buy the amount of viagra it would take for them to get a boner again. Without the US, you think NATO can do anything? After this debacle, if I were Trump I'd call Putin as tell him we're done with these assholes, you march westward and we'll bomb Kiev for you, you can have it. Russian control of Ukraine would be a safer world then allowing Zelinsky to continue.

Help with level.
I’m outside trying to bore site this scope. My gun is level ,front top pic rail is level. Rear of stock is level. When I put my send it on top of the turret and level it, the inside bubble and retical are way off vertically . if I zero the bubble will that straighten out the retical also? I’m thinking no.

I got an order in at the end of March, do you know roughly how long I might be looking at our how far behind you guys are running?

I figured I'd ask since you had mentioned the end of the year to open it back up.

We call them "The Deceived."

They struck out at life and they're looking for someone or something to blame. Reality is uncomfortable for them, so they look for someone to lie to them, because it helps them create an alternate world to go live in- online.

In this world, Trump won the 2020 election, Joe Biden is a Cybernetic Organism, Hillary Clinton is a High Priestess of the Satanic Church, the painter guy at Home Depot is a foreign invader criminal terrorist - but Larry Hoover of the Black Gangster Disciples was unjustly persecuted by institutional racism in the judicial system, and... this one is wild... Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is a master of strategy and power, dealing with the "deeply unfair" rules-based international order and simply trying to re-exert his influence over his "Zone of Special Privilege" (the Soviet Sphere).

When they repeat these lies - TOGETHER - it bonds them tightly because they know that Barack Obama wasn't born in Kenya but they're all telling the same lie and it makes them feel good, not rejected.

They study these lies harder than they've ever studied any subject in school, and they rehearse and repeat them to try and get better in making the Kremlin's talking points, Beijing, J-state Hasbara, BLM, etc...

That's what you're seeing here- Commie Shitholes hating America and rehearsing their threat messaging... from all the different sources... in allll the different threads.



In truth, I've personally seen more than 12 destroyed assets of different types, and it might actually be 100% (and beyond) of their air-ready, FMC, not-deadlined fleet.

I don't actually think that these are St. Petersburg IRA Operators who have poor English skills- these are the deceived, who sought out the liar, and who consume the lie enthusiastically.

In America though, we HATE the Liar and we LOVE the Truth.

Does this mean you'll need to have AB Quantum in the mix each time you want to use your vectors with a mini, or is it a one time initial pair thing?

Click to expand...

You will need to use AB Quantum to pair the Calypso AB Mini to any range finder. Once paired, you do not need to open ABQ except to move the Calypso to a new device, or remove its pairing to an LRF. Once the Calypso is paired to an LRF you will need to clear that pairing if you want to use it with the App etc. Then pair it back as needed.

hope this isn't prophetic. i do begin to think that games are being played behind Trump's back.

Are you saying Russia is "the Bear" like England is "the Lion" and we are "the Eagle?"

Russia has no say in what happens to them, or what people do to them.

The expression "poking the bear" is not relevant. If someone in Finland sneezes or Estonia farts, their whole huge country might shatter and fragment into a dozen oligarch controlled fiefdoms- all claiming no responsibility for the disastarous SMO, or any connection to the Soviets.

Russia needs to:

1) Withdraw to their own borders.
2) Worry about securing those borders (duh) before they try to capture any pounded mud, anywhere.
3) Reform their government (Commie Purge- Putin gets raped with a knife, all the Oligarchs who swindled the people following the nominal collapse back in the 90s get executed)
4) Form a BRAND NEW CULTURE.
5) Start building a normal, modern, human civilization that serves their own people instead of waking up every day in a post-Communist, Soviet hellstate and blaming all their problems on the "deeply unfair" Western-dominated rules-based international order.

Cry your eyes out that those Jav's didn't get fired into old hulks rusting in the impact area, but got used for the very purpose they were invented and manufactured for- putting Rooskie Animals in the dirt.

I hope you're ready to keep taking it DEEP, Komrade!

Circa 2002, that was a $500 pistol and Bowen did $500 worth of work to it.
I paid more than that for the bone stock used Mountain Gun laying next to it last week.
Inflation anyone?
I’ve loaded that pistol from mild to wild (wilder than I meant to a couple times) and it’s always shot fantastic. I finally figured out that there’s nothing in TN a 286 grain Keith at 1,000fps (or less) won’t shoot through (possibly lengthwise!) as far as I can responsibly shoot at it.

Click to expand...

Yeah That was probably about the time I stumbled onto his work. We were just starting our family and my eyes exceeded my discretionary budget. love that pistol

I may be missing something obvious, but what caliber are the barrels?

it says 308 bolt face, so is it a .308 or just the bolt face and the barrels are something else?

And don’t think for a minute that this won’t be used in the future when unlawful EOs are signed. It cuts both ways.

I’ve killed quite a few pigs and deer with 80eldms. 2650fps MV out of my 16” 223 bolt gun out to 200yards, 2930fps MV out of a 20” ruger 22arc out to 200yds, and 3050fps mv out of a 18” 22creed out 350yards. They have worked great.
