    This is extraordinarily dumb and not worthy of this thread.  Federal Aid was sent when requested by the Republican Ohio governor, not before because that is not how it works. We can do more than one thing at once.  Part of what it means to actually have America be a great nation in the world.

    @sburke
    Lt.colonel of police (retired) Vladislav Ivanov. Enlisted at war as volunteer, was killed on 16th of September in Kharkiv oblast.
    Lt.colonel Yuriy Zhuk, some AD unit. Very interesting death. He was kileld on 13th Oct. And in the same day Russian media wrote about "repelled" HARM strike in Belgorod oblast Russia. This officer had a speciality of "radiotechnical targeting assets" and on his memorial plate depicted 92N6E multi-role radar of S-400 battery. So, we can assume, UKR conducted successful strike with western precision weapon on Russian territory, destroying S-400 radar asset %)

    Balloons are cheap.  You can find hobbyist instructions all over the interwebs on how to launch high altitude balloons.  I know people who have/would do that sort of thing.  But they aren't going to spend the kind of money China can on a big solar array (if they can even afford a big enough balloon to lift one) so when the battery runs out it turns into a rogue balloon.  When you're up that high and there's nothing around, it's also hard to estimate the scale of things.  So now every random hobbyist (along with the aliens who thought they'd be able to investigate the Earth using balloons) has rogue balloons that a month ago nobody would have noticed and now are being chased down by F-22s.  Pretty soon it will be a thing to put a camera on to record the balloon's last moments for TikTok, and then the FAA will start making people register their balloons like they do drones.

    Not really.  Something more special that is almost impossible to categorize into traditional left and right. I think the “MAGA (Make America Great Again = Trump cult) communist” pretty much sums it up. But ultimately these people are fascists wearing masks.
