Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By nickmemphis: I'm not a super SME by any means but I've been around explosives my whole life; my dad worked in demo.

Call it 15lbs TNT equivalent napkin number estimate. Inside a 40 lbs mild steel casing, on bare dirt, I'm telling you it's not going to do much cratering with proximity fusing. It's made to make fast chunks of steel in the air that kill people, not make big holes in dirt that look bomby to the moviegoing public.. I've always been curious about people who point to relatives as a qualification to know something. I'm related to a brain surgeon. Doesn't make me a brain surgeon. What's your training in explosives? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kokodude: This whole Ukraine thing is a giant scam. All of these arms being shipped over to one of the world's largest and most unethical arms dealers? Putin is most certainly in on this one. There'll be some type of "conflict" to justify the whole deal, everyone involved gets rich, and we are all suckers for buying in to the whole thing. Stop watching 007 movies, good grief |

Then what [are you] waiting for?" Zelensky said. "We don't need your sanctions after the bombardment will happen, and after our country will be fired at or after we will have no borders or after we will have no economy or parts of our country will be occupied. Why would we need those sanctions then?" "So when you're asking what can be done, well lots of different things can be done. We can even provide you the list. The most important is willingness," he said. Making valid points and don't blame him. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BerettaGuy: God Bless Estonia! Waaaaaaay bigger balls than Germany on this. I had an old friend 30 years ago who was of Estonian descent and he was pretty connected with the Estonian government and the American General who retired and became head of Estonian armed forces. I forget his name but he was the only American at the time (at that level) to get a military pension check from America as well as a military check from a foreign government. Aleksander Einseln. He was a veteran of Korea and Vietnam so had practical experience with fighting Communists. At the time the entire armed forces were so small they may as well have been nonexistent but it made sense to have someone experienced and not tainted by the Soviet system to build them. |

Airdate 2/17/22 "High ranking officials of the Biden Administration along with NATO partners continue to accuse Russia of plotting to invade Ukraine. The Russian government, however, reminds the world community that Russia’s soldiers are on Russian soil, but America’s soldiers are in many countries. US Secretary of State Blinken told the Munich Conference that war could erupt within days. Doc Burkhart and I will analyze what’s happening in Europe, plus we’ll give you the latest information from Canada as the Trudeau regime seeks to crush truckers defying the prime minister’s mandatory injection decree."
