Looks like the great road trip of Thrawn, Ezra, Pellaeon and the 7th fleet is going to be a thing. Bonus points if Ezra uses Jorus as a fake name at some point.

Re: How could a Arleigh Burke Flight IIA defend itself from ground forces?

Speaking of Arleigh Burkes and bombardment duty, IIRC, Tom Clancy had the Pacific Fleet do exactly that on the Chinese coast in the Bear and the Dragon (even 13 year old me thought that was pretty stupid at the time). And Chinese tanks armed with with 115 mm cannons! It just shows you that the only ...

Re: Real Life Saul Goodman on the Run in Kentucky.

Well, he looks more like a Jamba Juice kind of fella rather than a Cinnabon manager, just saying.

Seriously though, I wonder what he did with his share of the loot? Certainly doesn't look like he spent much of it on himself, at least judging by his office.

Re: Trump Dump: Internal Policy (Thread I)

One of Trump's big weaknesses is that he's got a very limited pool of people he can actually rely on to do his bidding directly. He doesn't have powerful senior officials lining up to be his goons. They'll vote with him, they'll say nice things about him in public, but they're not willing to perman...

especially because at least one other nation (Poland) is pushing for a joint European program at the moment. Could the EU not simply subsume use of the existing French one...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Soviets stop being friendly to the Russian Orthodox church after WWII ended (though they seemed to come down even harder on other religions).

If Sessions didn't list the conversations on the "Foreign Contacts" section of his background check (I think all non elected officials, i.e. people not POTUS and various Congress critters on relevant committees all have to fill out some form), he's in very, very deep trouble.

Even if we assume the iron law of aerospace program holds (every big new program is delayed by at least 2-3 years) and the NASA and SpaceX manned lunar orbiters only fly in 2020-2021, that's still pretty good time.
