Re: Military readiness
“Currently, the US military operates more than 3,000 slot machines on bases in 12 countries – down from 8,000 slots in 94 countries in 1999, according to the Pentagon.

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
Ukraine had 3 decades to build a military capable of defending their borders or to maintain a modus vivendi with Russia. They failed. Ukraine was the crown jewel of the USSR. They could have been another Germany or Poland if they were not so corrupt & ethnically divided. They're an accidental c...

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
All we have done is to postpone the inevitable. We can't be half in & expect to succeed. Russia is fully mobilized. Ukraine is not. The US has no coherent strategy. The EU just wants someone else to pay. All we have done is lead Ukrainians to the slaughter. ...at least those men 27 & older ...

Re: Israel and Zionism
My hunch is that they will eventually receive their degrees, post whatever suspension period the disciplinary process requires. The problem these schools face is that not all protests, including encampments, have resulted in this level of discipline. So, precedent is an issue. The faculty vote is n...

Re: Israel and America are having a disagreement. That’s OK.

Re: All Things Russia & Ukraine
Zelensky is, in effect, asking for a no fly zone over Ukraine. To intercept Russian missiles & drones, NATO aircraft would have to operate within Ukrainian airspace, at risk from Russian integrated air defense systems, including the S-300 & S-400 systems. Russia is also attacking with long ...
