  1. I guess, if a popsicle is a water-based ice treat. (to sound as 1950s as I possibly can)
  2. Sorry, simply not true and happy to pull the data when not at work. They are the #1 nuclear threat to the USA and they are testing new tactical nukes (cruise missiles), which is why the US just pulled out of the INF. You need t update your knowledge. Start with the S-300 family purchased and deplyed by China, India, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Greece and a lst of other countries. Then you can look at the aircraft carriers they export, the nuclear submarines, etc. etc. Seriously, if you think all Russia is exporting is old junk, you've got no idea. They're one of the most advanced arms manufacturers in the world and I'm happy to drag all the evidence out any sane person would need to be convinced if you really want to stick to your story here. Sure, they're country is in deep shit. their demographics are fucked, they have a petrochem economy and their attempt to become a tech leader in ITC fell utterly flat. There's no doubt about any of that. Doesnt' mean they don't have power on the world stage though. You've been following the situation in Syria, right? Culture won the Cold War?! Hahahaha, yeah, sure thing, kid! PS - I listed much more than just nukes as their levers of power, have another read.
  3. Fucked if I know, ask Time magazine. I'm not supporting the choice, I'm just triggering the ConTards 😀
  4. Lol, thanks for the heads up! (wrote my Hons thesis on Chinese strategies in 2006, learned mandarin and worked out of the country for 5 years) Seriously though, foolish to write Russia off. They still have the second largest arsenal of operational nuclear weapons and have a retaliatory strike capability as well as a continuous at sea deterrent. Russia is the #2 oil exporter in the world, #3 producer and are #5 largest LNG exporter. Russia is the second largest arms exporter in the world (when it comes to tech, it is still a race between them and the US - China still copies and buys Russian tech). They are a G8 nation and hold veto power in the UN. They're pretty solid metrics with which to measure power on the world stage. Not sure how you do it.
  5. That's not what it's about, though. The award isn't who is the best, it's who impacted the world the most - for good or bad. Their choices are always controversial, so it's not click bait, it's the standard. BTW, I only posted it in here for a bit of triggering, lol. I don't have an opinion on her either way as I don't follow what she does or says. I'm more interested in the reactions to her, from both sides.
  6. DNI came from Reagan era, worked for both Bushes, Clinton and Obama. Doesn't come any more non-partisan. The warnings were also given well before Trump was the pres candidate. The Russians had been working him (and others) for a while. Not everything is about Trump. .
  7. Box of Mango, Lemon, Peach ice tea ice blocks. Shit rates.
  8. Drinking home brewed IPA in the garage willing myself to get up out of the comfy chair and go back in the house.
  9. jihadoScope @JihadoScope Islamic State supporters experiment with presence on BCM Messenger, an end-to-end encrypted messenger based on blockchain technology. In this example ISIS supporters share latest photo gallery showing a recent attack in Central Africa
  10. He was warned by his DNI not to attend this dinner and that he was being maneuvered into a compromise by the Russians. He still attended. Then he lied to his AG and the VP elect about his contact with the Russian Ambassador afterward.
  11. Hearing your mother in law fart isn't all it's cracked up to be.
  12. Not to proud to say "I don't get it".
  13. No trap, i reckon she's better looking as she ages - she was hot in that movie Red with Bruce Willis and the other old blokes. She just has a man head in her earlier days that I can't get past. Maybe doggie smash.....
