    Agree on Haley. The odds are slim as the odds always were once DeSantis flamed put. The main thing she has going for her is it is a 2 person race now and her campaign needs to find a way to capitalize on that. Short of Trump keeling over, she needs to win a state and do it soon. If she gets...

    USA Politics

    All good points. I guess though my main point is there are plausible ways both can win With 3rd party, you certainly have Libertarians (my most likely vote) and the Green party. But anyone of note running under "no labels" could be a spoiler. In any case it is incredibly likely there will be...

    USA Politics

    I generally agree with what @Mosh said. But a few things to add 1. Michigan, there has been more of a disconnect on UAW and members voting over time. They always endorse Democrats, but that seems to have a bigger impact on state races than national. Also there is a significant...

    I hoped Hayley could have pulled off an upset, she got what she wanted in a 2-person race which is the only shot of Trump not wining the nomination -- still really low odds, but better than a crowded field ... in any case we will most likely end up with another election with 2 candidates that...

    Yes . that makes no sense at all ... there are all kinds of continuity plans ... not that anyone would be thrilled with Harris .. that is the plan

    Russia invades Ukraine

    For sure, the world in general (and Europe in particular) owe Ukraine big time. We should all be pouring in whatever equipment/money they need to defeat Russia.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    A decent amount of expensive equipment blown up in the past week, an anti-artillery radar was destroyed (by artillery) and an AI powered anti-drone equipment (by a drone) ... about $700M wiped out in the last week just with those 3

    Pre first gulf war, I recall things like this. I think that is probably your best bet .. but it was more around not repeating the same strategic mistakes and probably one of the reasons the conflict was limited to freeing Kuwait https://www.airandspaceforces.com/article/0192storm/

    There was quite a bit around the first Gulf War ... but I do not recall it being prominent in the early 2000s .. if anything after 9/11 it as more around Pearl harbor/WWII in the Pacific. I could be wrong, but that is what I recall though it would have made sense with the guerilla war post the...

    I am actually okay with Premium Economy...it is essential what business class was pre-lay flat seats and the fact I can book my own flights to avoid LHR as much as possible

    Start up. But I have top status and a ton of upgrade vouchers. Otherwise it is premium economy.

    It is, the only decent part is our owner has a cool castle there, where we stay and meet ... so get to wander around it in between meetings. But every month is a bit much. I'd rather go over other month and stay for a week. On the plus side, no problems keeping high airline status and so far...

    Off on my now monthly trip to Wietzow (Germany) ... cool place, but man the travel is a pain for what will essentially end up being 2 1/4 days of meetings then flying back on Saturday

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I agree, after seeing the show last night, the stage set was a downgrade from LOTB, but it was still a good show. I am not sure I really liked the small video boards on the side of the backdrops, it diminished the backdrops and oddly did not always line up with the backdrops. It was cool...
