Re: Baltimore MD Bridge Struck By Ship and Collapses!

NY Times Live Thread

The entire port is shut down because of the bridge collapse and ongoing rescue operations but unfortunately the bridge collapse happened seven hours ago, the chance of anyone being alive and not yet found at this point is remote.

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform

So coming back around on this thread let me just asking the question, how exactly is the House Bill any more legal than the last three attempts to Ban Tiktok?

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

How'd that 2023 Ukrainian summer offensive go? You know, the one which was done by NATO trained troops and NATO equipment? A total fucking failure was what it was.

So, by the numbers, assuming they're all accurate, Ukraine and Russia are losing troops at about the same rate. Not really sustainable, considering Russia has a massive population difference over the Ukraine. They're not losing troops at the same rate. The numbers for Russia are likely not too far ...

There's a fifth possibility you left off, that of a sea based or air drone equipped as a one shot sneaking closing enough to pop off a missile re-purposed just to shoot these things down. No super weapon needed but a temporary lash up designed too take advantage of Russian flight patterns. There's i...
