Makes me proud of fellow 12 Brovos and more than a little awestruck since I never had to do anything like that except to neutralize duds.

Great idea copy Arkansas. Or did Governor Sanders copy Putin?

I know much less than many of you but I have interpreted T. Snyder's lectures as emphasizing the Mongol aspect of Moscow as separate from the Ukraine region for centuries related to Poland, Lithuania, Prussia, Ottoman and others. This may be simplistic on my part but Ukraine appears to be...

I was involved in NRC proceedings in the 70s when the risk assessment for airplane crash into the facility involved proximity to an airport (and flight paths) and possible intentional crash of a light private plane. It was assumed that pilots of large planes like airliners would avoid the...

While I would like to agree I don't think the war is necessarily over when/if Ukraine frees all occupied areas including Crimea. If Russia has the will and the means it can essentially bomb Ukraine from long distance for an indefinite time unless Ukraine has either defenses against such weapons...

Sobering and appropriate from a trusted source. It is easy to buy into all the news you like and ignore facts you don't like. Regardless we have to support Ukraine through this struggle.

You previously recommended this book. I find it a constant resource on American history and cultures and the nations which make up our State. Thank you for an enlightening reference.

The Owners like his ratings and the money. And it is free speech, opinion, so no one is accountable.

To say nothing about my embarrassment at a bar many years ago when a comely English lady told me to "keep my pecker up". Ok going back into hiding now.

Source?

Sacks options remind me of a remark attributed to Henry Kissinger (not someone I usually quote). He is reported to have said that during the Cold War his staff usually responded to a problem with three options 1 total capitulation to the USSR, 2 nuclear war or 3 whatever option was proposed by...
