    Or, a few battalions of those shiny K2 Black Panthers, which Poland signed a deal an absolute shitload of a couple years back. This’d be outstanding battlefield testing for them, tbh.

    Yes. Yes they are. And so are us Americans. And French. And The Netherlands. And the Nordic countries. And the Baltics. And Poland. And Germany. And-

    Well. You get the idea.

    If you want it to stop, just retreat to your own borders.

    It’s funny, because in high school, I remember getting poor marks on proofs - and HATING them - because I was like “this is so fucking obvious jesus tap dancing christ” and just… skipped lots of steps.

    Fast forward to college and logic theory: that ended up being one of my favorite classes, because machine theory and problem reduction is a fascinating domain, and FAR more interesting than “prove this shape is the shape we say it is” or whatever vapid bullshit they had us doing in high school.

    They were, but the context there is that the alliance was a pretty direct result of the abject failure of both the Anglo-French Supreme War Council and the League of Nations to do literally anything meaningful in the face of the Soviet invasion in the Winter War.

    Germany actually did quietly supply them with war materiel during the war, until some Swedish journalists broke the story, after which Germany prioritized Soviet relations due to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. That was one of the main factors that led to the eventual reliance: the Soviets could clearly not be trusted (they invaded); the League of Nations was obviously powerless; the Anglo-French alliance - ostensible allies to Finland - evidently couldn’t find their ass with both hands and completely failed to respond for the entire span of the war; meanwhile, the Germans actually shipped equipment, though they geopolitically had their hands tied with treaty obligations (that they weren’t openly violating at the time).

    To be clear, this is not Nazi apologia. This is an explanation of the geopolitical context at the time, and what motivated the eventual alliance between Finland and Nazi Germany, in terms of Finnish motivations: pure pragmatism in the face of an obviously expansionist neighbor with a HUGE military.

    Also, yes, as u/grissino said, the Nazis did enjoy burning shit when they had to retreat, regardless of whether it was the territory of an allied nation.

    How does such a blatant and obvious conflict of interest not immediately elicit censure from a superior court? This feels like it should be wildly illegal. But this is America, I guess.

    In fairness to Trump (I just threw up in my mouth a little saying that), the pandemic did start in his final year in office.

    But also, I don’t think the response could have been handled more ineptly.

    He knows he’s going to loose officially. I’m becoming more convinced that he thinks he can legitimately pull off a coup when he’s not actually president. He thinks that just because he has Secret Service protection and has a Teflon-esque legal record that he can just do what he wants to.

Dynamic protection, in essence, is blocks of plastic that explode towards the cumulative stream of anti-tank ammunition and deflect it to the side. Placing this protection on anything other than the powerful armor of a tank is fraught with even greater damage to the “protected” object.

    Personal commentary: reading the summary (I did not watch the interview live), I’m not really seeing anything that assuages my concerns about his mental acuity. More importantly, I’m not seeing anything that indicates he’s being anything even close to as pragmatic as Macron is being with the election they’re doing now in France, with regards to just trying to make sure the fascists do not fucking win. I must admit I’m feeling quite pessimistic about things.
