Thank you very much for this. It is very useful indeed.

I played Red Thunder since it came out. It is close to Ten Years that works out on $2/ Week. Very cheap entertainment. Still discover new stuff. Need to do plenty of reading about tactics and doctrine and play accordingly. It has a long learning cycle.

You need to understand that none of us own the game you buy only the right to play it. We can't sell a game we don't use. In that case you could have my Black Sea game but technically I don't own it. I have the key number but I can't sell it.

Gaza is not sustainable and nobody wants it. Egypt was offered the place during the Camp David accord. Yes it will be occupied by Israel whether they like it or not. It will come with responsibilities.

You will have two million refugees. Gaza is infiltrated probably since the Camp David agreement. Egypt didn't want the area for good reason. I can't see how it will be tolerated any longer a new generation of fanatics will be raised there.

No doubt they will be reading up on the Nizari Ismailis. These guys were professional assholes specialty infiltration.

Peacekeeping UNIFIL. UNIFIL | United Nations Peacekeeping For fundamentalist Islam this means occupation on Muslim land. Like helping Kuwait against Sadam it was a trigger for Al Qaeda. Any excuse will do with fanatics.

You didn't listen at the beginning? The Bundeswehr has troops stationed in Lebanon. I admit they discussed this for a few minutes only.

We live in interesting times.

Can Ukraine navigate the Black Sea? For that it needs the Crimea. Ukraine has won the war when the Russian get rid of Putin and put somebody in the Kremlin the free world can do business with. A treaty with Putin is AKA a defeat he won't accept anything less.

You had the 'Police Actions' in Indonesia the problem they used the Dutch army. You need a police force for domestic matters. Armies are to reinforce foreign policies. The reason Russia is not doing great in Ukraine using an army trained to breach the Fulda Gap while they claim special operations. Police uses a decent network of informers something the Germans excelled at during WW2. Naturally police don't follow the rules of war.

They need a better police force not an army.

Gaza will go the way of Jericho, make a racket play the Ram Horns, Shout and the walls will tumble down.

The move order is Quick of what I can see. Highlight the endpoint and change it to blast.

Maps are too small for modern formations.

Met de klompen aanvoelen. With your clogs you will sense it. Hard to translate these.

Here is a good analysis why breaching the Russian lines takes so long. Subtitles are fine if you go to settings.

My dad told me sometimes Russians don't tell the truth.

They have years and years experience shooting down airliners.

I was there when Trump was the president and funny enough most people didn't talk about politics in the local bar. If it hadn't been for Covid he would have been reelected. He blames the Chinese most of all and most Americans are not racist was the definite expression I had. But that was California with a strong Latin influence. No, I felt completely at home there, San Diego was much like Perth West Australia weather wise. I think state politics play a bigger role than most people outside the US realize. That was my opinion when I was there. 2nd Amendment sporting store in San Francisco had all the goodies for sale and that is one of the strictest states in US. In my view a proper run store with all the securities in place.

The fact that I speak English for the last 57 years doesn't make me a native speaker. I didn't have much of a problem in Switzerland the last time I used German on a daily basis. I admit the spelling is lousy, but I follow German YouTube movies OK. German is I admit one of the main European languages.

The pay is reasonable I would say, the retirement support is decent too. How come that position only attracts geriatrics? They could do more useful things like playing Combat Mission games.

I think you are 100% correct. I forgot how long now but Windows Defender just is fine for me.

Germans don't know how to spell it is Dekking the Dutch spelling is correct.

Definitely Zurück and dekung (take cover). I hear often.
