Reply to comment by missingmytowel in Russia detains WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich on espionage charges by jack_lafouine
You can’t call me a bigoted piece of shit for calling someone dumb for bringing drugs to a place where they are illegal, than getting mad about being detained. It’s why people hate American’s entitlement. Americans just do whatever they want because it’s okay at home. I know a kid who brought weed to Japan and got tossed in jail for over a year. Anyone bringing drugs into a foreign country is an idiot who deserves what’s coming to them so that other American’s stop being idiots. She didn’t even say sorry.

The Taliban are in Afghanistan not Iraq. The US invaded Iraq so Dick Cheney and his cronies could make $38 billion. Eisenhower said there are people who want to see the US constantly at war so they can profit and called the Military Industrial Complex.

Reply to comment by Bob_Juan_Santos in Ukraine needs F-16 jets – Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi by HarakenQQ
Not many, and the MiG-29 is still going to be a pile of shit, regardless of how modernized it is.
Ukraine wants a platform that can utilize the SDB (small diameter bomb), JDAM, and HARM (high speed anti-radiation missile) to start pushing Russia back, specifically the SDB and HARM since their HIMARS are already using GLSDBs (SDB with a M26 rocket motor attached to them for ground launches)
Modernized MiG-29s are still going to have to hack on those weapons, which won't operate as effectively as they will on a platform they're natively coded for, such as the F-16.
Also, MiG-29s are notorious for shit engines with absurdly short lifespans (lifespan of them is shorter than even just the mean time between rebuilds of an F-16's engine), which actually allows the F-16 to operate with a far greater availability rating, which means more F-16s in the air lol

Encasing Northern Europe in ice would lower emissions, I guess

Reply to comment by Bob_Juan_Santos in Ukraine needs F-16 jets – Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi by HarakenQQ
They have those already and they’re getting more, but the issue is the radar on a”modernized” MiG-29 is still not as good as a Su-35 or any American F-Series jet. A MiG-29 doesn’t have the range to take out a MiG-31 traveling at Mach 2.8 at 80,000ft firing R-77M and R-37M hypersonic missiles. The Russians have scored some VERY long distance kills with the MiG-31. They need the American AMRAAM.

Idk I applaud this guy for being willing to take the risk to dig around in Russia. It was dangerous 10 years ago, it's dangerous today.

Again, the crux here is the word animal. It isn’t synthesize from an animal at all. It’s from the dna of an animal. The resulting meat is an approximation and wouldn’t remotely resemble the meat from a living, grazing animal. Literally the difference between spam and a steak.

Was he working on a story there? Are there other US journalists there? From what I’ve seen, there haven’t been any US reporters reporting live from Russia for a while. Heck, Russian reporters are disappearing over there and being censored like crazy. Why would the WSJ find it smart to send a US journalist there at this point?

Putin might be killed by Russian and Ukrainian people living in Antalya. It would be nice actually.

you asked for my suggestion, I gave it to you. Sorry you don't like the response.
Also you have no idea what I do in my personal life, but reddit is for assumptions so go ahead and make them.

A gymnastics take is thinking somebody doesn't need to be released from prison because they are a black person who smokes weed. But we got a ton of those guys locked up over here for that so it makes sense.
Cause let's be realistic here. If she was a white girl that got arrested for public intoxication in Russia it would have been a completely different reaction from conservatives. They would have been just fine with it.
