    Coronavirus

    Does the salary, general living conditions and love from your partner (not to be underestimated component of the life based on my experience) compensate all the hassle? I have only visited China once in 2009 (Shanghai and its surroundings like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and Nanjing), liked the...

    Karl Malone looking frail in recent pic.

    Purely a guess. but i guess that the world top10 cyclists, alpine climbers (i.e somebody similar to Reinhold Messner), sherpas, marathon runners and Ironmans at his age or older are all better in basketball than he is? Yes, Malone is taller, but can he play full 48 minutes against those guys...

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    I guess US Navy has much more motivated staff? I.e better discipline and i hope, that everything is working condition not only on the document but also in real life.

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    To add what Gameface said and what i gathered from Twitter: 1. Moskva was designed for offense, not defense. 2. It basically had only one detection radar so was able to track only ONE potential flying/floating (theoretical) attacker at one time. 3. Ukraine used one drone as a bait and then...

    The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

    Theoretically - can US sue a US citizen even when he is talking to soldier?! Or is it specified in a law that this procedure is a military action and that procedure is not? Can the armed US citizen state, that "i was just wondering around and protecting myself"? What is difference of a US...

    If fighting against Russia (or what-whoever inside the Ukraine) is not illegal according the law of Ukraine - then what kind of US (state) law it violates? Officially, Russia has not even declared a a war against Ukraine? And how PRECISE/specific is that Neutrality Act? I.e is it OK to use a...

    I would add, that without indirect support from Russia to Serbia, the Balkan conflict would have been little bit milder? Otherwise - 12 points!

    IMHO, i guess things are worse compared in different military installations than they were in Soviet Union period. A la fuel and equipment meant for a military people sold to the highest bidder and then some part of money went to the local chief and his cronies. For those who have Facebook, i...
