Trump would have taken out the first Russian convoy in one shot, leaving Putin to remind his people that he only lost by one score.

 

Better than the blowouts they suffered under Comrade Pelini!

Who are you talking to?

 

Chomsky is always incredibly well-versed and always has an interesting take, but he also likes being unpredictable, especially to people who presume his political leanings on a subject. You can tell by that clip that he really enjoyed teasing, prolonging and dropping his little Donald Trump bombshell to his progressive audience. 

 

I would have guessed you liked his conclusion in this case, which is not inaccurate but avoids tons of relevant context. He may have gotten to that context if the clip hadn't ended. 

 

Also Chomsky is old, cranky, and doesn't really care what anyone thinks.  There are a lot of buffoons that come to mind before Chomsky, and they have millions more followers. 

 

Chomsky has never paid attention to context.  He kisses the a$$ of every 3rd world thug that winds up opposed to the US.   He actually recycles the same story ad nauseum.

• Russia's most advanced tank in service was destroyed by Ukraine this week, according to reports.
• The military vehicle had been in Ukraine for less than two weeks before it was hit, officials said.
• The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the tank was hit by a Javelin anti-tank missile system.

Even if Russia pulls this war out of the fire, they will be in no position to prosecute another war for a decade, and maybe longer if this war finally teaches them the value of NCOs. 

 

The attrition is all based on estimates. But if even the conservative numbers are more accurate, this is not sustainable. Russia needs to do something different, quick, or lose this war.

Fascinating use of modern 3D printing to make bombs out of hand held grenades

And just think if the Ukrainians could fly our warthog plane.   It seems to me that tank commander is the same thing as coffin commander.

Russians have been pushed back out of artillery range around Karkov, sort of.

FWIW....they have the SU-25 which is pretty much the same type of aircraft as the Warthog.   both aircraft need air superiority to do their jobs effectively.
