IW can go on a long time. Even after you’ve allegedly defeated an enemy. A lot of people around here know that. This is only the tip of what can be done, and they’ve eliminated over a third of their operational capability for that airframe. Some actually speculate it’s more because only about 50 aircraft were in a ready state.

This entire war is pointless, as are most. But you have to wonder what Putin is thinking. He had a pretty decent off-ramp and the OPFOR was publicly humiliated and being forced to give up the farm.

The Russian people have a decent amount of affinity from a large sector of the American people. They are proud, strong and have a rich history. So I gather going hat in hand to countries like China and Iran can’t ultimately sit well with them. It’s also human nature to grow tired of conflict. But losing pride in the process is even more devastating.

Russia’s immediate reaction was to once again threaten to light one off. That doesn’t just look weak, it looks malicious and dangerous.

Find a way to end the conflict…that is unless that’s not what you really want.

Who will retaliate with canned sunshine if Russia nukes Ukraine? No one cares enough now, that Obama and the WEF no longer run the US. Europe is a deeply compromised paper tiger. Ukraine could turn into a glass crater and no one else in the world would care enough to do anything.

Just as a data point of one, I have a LRH mini chassis that just won’t get the same level of precision as other LRH’s I own. Tried multiple barreled actions in the suspect stock. Tried multiple action screw torque values from 50 in-lbs front/45 back, to 90 and 90. Same hand loads. Take a barreled action from that stock and drop it into one of my other LRH’s and holes on target don’t lie. I did this with five barreled actions (2 defiance and 2 impacts, one Mac bros element), with barrels from Bartlein, Carbon 6 and Mullerworks chambered by very well known gunsmiths with very strong reputations nationally and definitely in competition shooting. It is repeatable and noticeable.

I have no real idea what the issue is with that stock. I suspect there is a straightness issue in the mini chassis layup, causing some small stress on the actions. The group sizes consistently reflected tighter groups in a different LRH, TCS, TS Customs KS1 and Foundation Gideon.

I think a careful bedding job would solve the problem, I just haven’t done it yet. Part of the attraction to the mini chassis is not being tied to one action, but I probably need to just bite the bullet and bed it.

That’s an interesting point and anything is possible when you’re dealing with hand made stuff, that could have some sorta variation that’s unnoticeable unless you have the exact same thing to compare it to.

It probably doesn’t help that it’s a new cartridge I’m working with in this stock, but then again I’ve never noticed this in the past doing load development in the PRS1. I think that’s what is throwing me in off, I’ve got multiple variables in this situation and no clear reason besides think it’s a stock issue.

This whole thing is just completely beyond retarded. On one hand, Ukraine can’t possibly defeat Russia in an all out war for existence. Ukraine's only possible victory is to outlast Putin's desire to continue. Yet Ukraine is bombing targets deep within Russia, as if they are trying to goad Russia into total existential war???? Are the Ukrainians fucking idiots? That's a war they lose EVERY time.

AND CONVERSELY......The only way Russia loses this war is to get mired into a conflict of attrition by failing to swiftly and completely destroy the enemy. A mistake that's easy for a U.S. citizen to recognize. So what the fuck does Russia do?? Half ass EVERYTHING they do including the initial attack and get mired in a war of attrition!

The only way either side could ever be worse tacticians than they are would be by abandoning the most strategic airbase in Asia along with $2 billion in equipment to a group of homosexual goat fuckers.

Conducting drone strikes deep into Russian territory seems like UKR trying to imply they can threaten Russian existence. The more they do that, the more likely Putin will just decide to turn them into Ukraynobyl. Any door that might have been open for negotiations to end this flaming pile of dogshit is closing rapidly.

If you’re spending money on expensive dies early in the game, you should just get the AMP and move on

i look for a Chechnya like response,not just on the battlefield. i hope Trump has sense enough to stay out of it and get the hell away from it.
the Euro trash would be smart to stay out as well. this is begging for an escalation which may be what Graham and the Euro deep state are trying to cause. real bad moves.

Very much a concern. I hope Trump has the good sense to walk away. I think the only two high profile people in this circus that want peace are Trump and Putin. Probably a handful at best up against the Globalists that are clearly looking to escalate this up to who knows what level.

If they think Russia will willingly throw itself on their sword they are in for a shock. The nationalistic drums will be beating just as they were in the USA post 9/11.

I wonder what other weapon systems they have up their sleeve that the Western analysts have no knowledge of, I fear we're close to finding out.

Made the local eateries very happy

NF NX8 would be my recommendation. Illumination will get you there in darker hours. I think Euro has demos for sale that will be in your price range if you don’t already get them through mil discount.

a good idea. i would struggle figuring out how since i know nothing anyway. the longer things go like they are,the better the idea seems.
the whole thing is a plan to force everyone into the fence. i have no and refuse to have a cell phone. it is getting harder to operate in this country without one. continuous tracking by GPS in any car,including mine. trying to avoid the debit card and use cash. using cash is becoming more difficult in many venues. impossible buying anything on line without CC. removing oneself from on line accounts is impossible. covid was a play into that one world control plan. destroy small brick and mortar biz a goal.a digital currency will be the end of any remaining semblance of freedom.

Really ?, Is there actually enough manpower to apprehend and deport the 3000 a day ? . I will believe that when I see it . I have NEVER even seen an ICE agent in my local area, and the illegal Population is Fucking Thick Here . Not just Mexicans. I have noticed the past few years here growing #s of other S. american country illegals also. Fucking Bullshit. it is zero ICE here . MAYBE get 3000 a day just here in my county alone ' But ' ICE would have to actually magically appear here. it is so EASY PICKINGS, and ZERO WORK. All they would have to do is just actually be here and open their eyes to Easy see the illegals walking, driving around that are Brown, only 5 ft. tall. long sleeves, hat and hoody and freezing to death on a hot 80 deg. day, that can not speak the english language. and all the Fat Brown 4 ft. 5 inch tall women dragging a posse of little children around walking down the sidewalls and in every grocery store in town non speaking english. and all running around here in All public schools, public buildings 'Bibleotca' and cultural centers, business advertised in Espanol,. It's Immigration and Customs Enforcementmy my fucking ass,

I have said on here before that getting all of the illegals out before the end of his term is a pipe dream. It won’t even be close. Mathematically it is almost impossible, especially with the courts blocking him at every move. The only thing that can be done with any degree of effectiveness is to get out as many violent offenders as possible. And even that won’t be fully effective.

To believe otherwise is foolishness. And the next census will reflect the change. This was part of the plan all along. Homan and Trump can work day and night, but the numbers are too big and the infrastructure isn’t in place to support such activities, let alone the international agreements. Next up: amnesty in the next democratic presidency. Hide and watch.

If one believed the deportation hyperbole of the campaign trail they either failed or forgot junior high math. That’s not to say there hasn’t been any progress, there certainly has, but there must be a mature acknowledgment of the numbers game and why it matters.

This outcome was obvious a mile away.

There were obviously several “body doubles” regularly standing in for Joe Biden. Considering how many times “he” was a bumbling failure on camera, I tend to think the real deal stayed alive and occasionally active. What are to odds “they” sourced a body double as handicapped as the actual senile pedo?

Ha! With all the falling he did I think a stunt double was more likely.
