I think Todd Howard got scared when Microsoft was closing studios and gave Halo to Activision, so he’s actually getting things done now.

Looks like a private jet

In a somewhat similar situation, Formula 1 management is currently in a game of Chicken with Qatar and UAE because whichever side officially cancels the Grand Prixs in late November and early December has to pay for the cancellation fees.

You scared me for a second, I thought you meant from actual NATO territory and the start of WW3

GTA San Andreas had Co-op, the 2nd player had a random npc model and one of the features was that they could kiss CJ.

To the last Ukrainian

Light damage still means that they can’t be flown right? Unless they want to risk flying “lightly” damaged planes, they need to be moved by land or other means if they don’t want the planes to be hit again.

Vassals will probably be more compliant to their masters if they’re too busy fighting each other.

Trump told me Iran keep bombing his comprador soldiers so I asked how many compradors he has and he said he just goes to the vassals and gets a new comprador afterwards so I said it sounds sounds like he’s just feeding compradors to Iran and then Hegseth started crying.

Which factions of the Ukrainian ruling class does the SBU and GUR represent? I’m guessing one of them are the Western-“democracy” compradors and the other is the local fascist clique.

Unless I missed it, I didn’t see any discussion of the New Yorker article that came out in July that showed the behind the scenes of the Biden Administration’s full blooded support of Israel and the genocide. Beware, The author still has brainworms about Oct 7 and tries to portray some of the officials in a sympathetic light , but it does show the bloodthirstiness and full fucking Zionism of Biden.

Some Quotes that I found notable, horrendous, interesting, or funny

“We repeatedly raised and discussed options for withholding weapons,” but, excluding the suspension of one shipment of bombs, “the President always deferred on that decision, because we kept thinking that we were close to getting a deal”… Netanyahu and Ron Dermer, his longtime adviser and emissary to Washington, kept insisting that they expected the fighting to be over very soon. “Just two more weeks,” they repeatedly promised. As one White House official told me, “If it is just a few more weeks, why have a huge fight with Israel?”

[MBS], the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, had signaled a willingness to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for access to U.S. nuclear technology. He was happy to accept only lip service from Israel about the future of the Palestinians

[Biden] bragged that his experience in the region extended back to the early seventies, when he’d visited Israel as a senator, and he remained so confident in his expertise that he often patronized even his most senior advisers…

As Israeli warplanes were preparing to bomb Lebanon, Biden, in a hurried phone call, urged Netanyahu to ground them, stressing that the U.S. wasn’t yet ready to defend its forces or Israel from any blowback.

The Biden team argued that precision strikes facilitated by U.S. intelligence could kill the greatest number of culpable leaders faster and more effectively… White House dispatched a three-star general and other senior officers to share with the I.D.F. their battlefield experience.

Netanyahu feared that declaring specific end goals in Gaza would set off disputes in his Cabinet and fracture his fragile coalition.

[in May 2021], White House officials boasted anonymously to journalists that Biden’s “hug-Bibi strategy”—“I don’t agree with you, but I love you”—had ended the fighting in eleven days

The U.S. lawyer explained, “The subtlety of the language—things like ‘We don’t have definitive proof, but we are very concerned that Israel is committing war crimes’—seemed to be understood by the most senior people to mean, in effect, ‘We’re all good!’ ”

In the small chance that Turkey and Iran actually start fighting, would Azerbaijan get involved?

Zelensky is a master of turning Europeans into pretzels as he keeps pissing them off and they still scrape the barrel for Ukraine.

I remember Herr Starmer approved strikes from Cyprus base and it got missile hit less than 24 hours later. it happens again.

I feel like if a missile or debris landed on him, Ukraine would be yelling to the moon that Russia assassinated a US senator.
