I think, right or wrong everyone has pretty much written off Crimea. A lot of bitching may go on about it for years but it's a done deal. The thing most are wondering is if it's enough for Putin. He's certainly acting like he's planning on collecting the rest of Ukraine as soon as he'd done digesting Crimea. You'll have to come up with some other kind of story to justify that.
Kennedy led to Vietnam. Clinton bombed hell out of both Iraq and Bosnia. I make no attempt to justify or condemn these actions. They simply, factually happened. Sometimes partisanship blinds.
You can't do that. They bought your congress critters up so they could take and take and take but never have to give. This has nothing to with libertarian values whatsoever. AT&T are part of a cabal of corporations that rape the American public shamelessly by buying legislation to enable them to hold their market in thrall.
They can't find a way to double fuck you over cat pictures but when you want a movie they have another source of revenue they can hit. If they charge you for bandwidth and then charge Netflix for the same bandwidth you already paid for it's win-win for them. Free money for AT&T! At the expense of their customers who they could give a flying fuck about. You exist to line James Cicconi's pockets with money and have no other reason for existence. I remember back in the 70's how AT&T fucked over their customers until finally they got torn down by an Anti-Trust suit. 40 years later it's time for a repeat.
Bullshit! I pay through the nose for internet access with a bandwidth cap. I pay! I want what I paid for and that's my bandwidth. When these greedy fucking money grubbing bastards charge Netflix and whoever for delivering content to me on bandwidth that "I" PAID FOR then they basically double charged me for the same service. NO! It is NOT acceptable. I hope James Cicconi's asshole grows shut. Fuck him. I'm fed up with these bastards. They overcharge us then go back and overcharge us again. If you think that's okay you are an idiot.
The word Soviet has been reinterpreted to mean tyranny. A lot like the 4th Amendment to the Constitution has been reinterpreted to mean pretty much nothing at all by US law enforcement and a lot of US courts. That's how the government gets around the limitations of the US Constitution. They simply reinterpret it to mean what they'd like it to say. Problem solved.
Read up on it. We're not talking about drones here but autonomous fighters. You assign it a mission and then it concludes the mission according to programmed parameters.
All government is evil. That's what the founders of the United States said back when they revolted against the rule of England.

Yes and aircraft will never pose a threat to warships. At least that's what they told General Mitchell. He fought the old military establishment so hard to create a new military capability that they eventually demoted him and then court martialed him. Always people want to fight the next war with the last war's weaponry. We need a new Billy Mitchell.
You would be far safer using snail mail. It's way too easy to have a computer sift through millions of e-mails whereas someone has to get off their dead-ass and work to go through real mail. The labor alone makes it cost prohibitive. Using PO boxes and fake names and you are probably worlds ahead of e-mail for safety. At least your deniability goes up.
Too bad we can't just put Saddam back where he was. Actually I think the Iranians and Saudis not to mention the Kurds don't miss the bastard all that much. I think the gulf war was a bad idea but then Saddam practically insisted on it. He kept agitating and violating the cease fire until after 911 when Bush was looking for someone's ass to kick he volunteered. Right up until the attack kicked off they kept telling him to back off or else but he just kept at it. I don't know how I feel about it. Some days knowing that Saddam is burning in hell makes me feel like it was a good thing then some days thinking about all the wasted money and lives and the fact that the nutcases over there will probably end up putting another Saddam wannabe in power down the road makes me think it was a bad thing. I guess only time will tell.
How about for once the Europeans clean up the shit in their backyard? If Germany and France would stiffen up and give Putin hell he'd back down. I'm tired of the US always getting dragged into Europe's crap, let them handle it. If they don't mind Putin picking up the former USSR real estate then so be it. I wonder what Germany is going to do when he decides he wants the Eastern half back? I guess they'll whine and piss themselves and move out and if they do I don't really care.
I never understood this desire to shut down dissenting opinion. I want to hear what the people that hate me have to say. It's information I need. The more they have to say the better I like it.

Yeah, I call bullshit too.
What? How was Iraq off the books? You mean like they funded it through private donations? Maybe they had a car wash to pay for it?
It's that new math.

Sadly most people don't feel this way.

I guess this shows how seriously they consider the threat of US Carriers.
The time for manned fighters is coming to an end. They should concentrate on the X-47B.
Better yet, sell it to the highest bidder.
He never entered. He took pictures through the open door. Hell, they didn't even have a door, just a bead curtain that fell down.

Especially when we'll just half ass it. If we go we'd better be ready for the shit to blow. If not then stay the hell out.

Oh yes it did. They've evolved into New Englanders now and I'm sure their ancestors would be shocked at how that's turned out.
