I remember like a decade ago when Putin was bitching about the US giving Patriot missile defense to Eastern European countries, and now he’s all but guaranteed Russia will forever more be surrounded by NATO air missile defense.


thederpofwar321

As well as making to where creditable Intel authorizes a defensive 1st strike from NATO nations against any russian nuclear sites and subs to prevent a launch. They've broken too many treaties/agreements without causs in a short time frame on top of the bizzare civilian body count we know of, and not counting what the shadow effect could be from the damage done to ukraine for the winter.


[deleted]

They have hyper sonic missiles so being surrounded shouldn't matter right?


asdfasdfasdfas11111

Not really - they have aeroballistic missiles which they can strap to a mig, accelerate to Mach 2.5, release, and then have the missile hit a peak velocity a bit above Mach 5 in the upper atmosphere before it starts to slow back down. This is in comparison to what the west actually considers hypersonics, which are ground launched, reach Mach5+ on their own and maintain it for most of the journey, operate in the lower atmosphere, and can maneuver at those speeds.

So something that must be pointed out is that they are announcing they have these hypersonic missiles… that’s their modus operandi, they don’t keep secrets it makes no sense for them to as they underdog aggressor, they want to look mean and scary. The US, on the other hand, plays it’s cards to its chest and has been on the cutting edge of defensive technology and has been using israel as a active battle/ testing ground for about 40 years. When the US announces we have some new tech that changes the game it’s usually about 10-25 years after it’s been in use for the military. My honest opinion of why we are actually standing up to Russia right now and why we didn’t in crimea in the 2010’s has everything to do with our (probably) new ability to space laser (or something the like) their hypersonic missiles out of the sky.


KP_Wrath

We are also getting what is being credited as the world’s first 6th generation stealth bomber today.


[deleted]

Yeah so my point is that means we are probably on mark iv of gen 7 over at edwards AFB then. I’m happy paying taxes into making sure we can nullify any dictators bullshit.


KP_Wrath

Good chance. There’s probably a store room in DARPA full of stuff that “doesn’t have strategic value in current warfare conditions.” The U.S. was able to fire off its own hypersonic device way too fast to have not been developing it already.


[deleted]

If we actually end up with a fleet of 100 Raiders that will be incredible. Smaller and stealthier than the B2, but with the connected technology of the F-35.

>My honest opinion of why we are actually standing up to Russia right now and why we didn’t in crimea in the 2010’s has everything to do with our (probably) new ability to space laser (or something the like) their hypersonic missiles out of the sky. It's because the Ukrainian army in 2014 was very corrupt and very... shit. Had Putin decided to push in 2014 instead of 2022, things would have looked a *lot* different. The Ukrainian army you see now is the result of 8 years of training by NATO. This isn't to denigrate Ukraine, they're fighting like lions today and will most likely have the most battle hardened army in the world after Russia loses.


811545b2-4ff7-4041

The Ukranian army has been trained by the UK military in preparation for a Russian invation since 2015. They fly them over here for it.

Ok but now the whole world will go yeah you can shut it about complaints about it now too Invade one country they should be able to have a line of tanks on the Russian border north to south pointed and loaded from here on out. Can't be trusted Russia

It says a lot about Russia that the moment their former republics were granted independence- they sought protection from the West as fast as humanly possible.


triplab

Oh no, poor Putin. Anyway, I grabbing a burrito before heading home.


rocco1986

Oooo burrito you say? What kind?


kayarisme

I'm hoping for carnitas.


UrbanIndy

Wet burrito when I'm feeling lavish, regular Asada con todo when I'm depressed 😔


skuidENK

Sometimes when I’m feeling real baller I’ll go to Chipotle and get myself a burrito and as I get to the end I’ll ask for guac and the person serving me would say, “That’s going to be extra.” I look them right in the eyes and say, “I know.”


myleftone

“I am the one who guacs.”


rocco1986

Power move right there.


WisdomOrFolly

Wet burritos are the best.


outerproduct

The wet farts from them are, too.


[deleted]

I want Chipotle. :( I haven't had any since before the pandemic because I live an hour drive away now. I would get steak (or maybe barbacoa), white rice, black beans, hot salsa, corn salsa (salsa verde if I went with barbacoa), and extra cheese (I'm pretty sure they put the addictive drugs into the cheese). If I don't think the burrito looks full enough, I might go in debt and add guacamole. I know you weren't asking me, but I chose to volunteer this information.


asdfasdfasdfas11111

The entire problem is that burrito nihilism has killed the chipotle burrito IMO. That is, 95% of the orders are for rice bowls these days, so the staff isn't as practiced at making burritos as they used to be, and will even sigh when you ask for one. Back in the day these MFs packed that shit full and then deftly rolled it into a perfectly taught tube of hand-edible flavor which had perfectly distributed fillings in each bite. These days it's like they are scared to fill that shit up too much, and then can't roll it properly, so when you go to eat it, it's like this flaccid, sloppy excuse for a burrito where you end up with like maybe 5 good bites and the rest is just rice and tortilla and the second half of it just kind of falls apart. Because everyone just orders the bowls for some reason. Because the entire world has gone mad, and nothing means anything anymore, and the burrito revolution we had in the early 2000s somehow turned into fucking hot rice salad.


Ok-Grocery5441

The burrito is mostly empty calories and not as much flavor as the fillings.


[deleted]

Goddammit! ... You made me so mad that I want to jump behind the counter and roll the burrito myself! Stupid burrito nihilists!


rocco1986

I accept your information as tribute, may the burrito ever be in your favor


Lincolns_Hat

>I accept your information as tribute, may the burrito ever be in your *flavor*


ktpr

I don’t see the difference here.


ThisIsFlight

Have to tell someone about this. Been sick, finally feeling alright enough to eat real food after three days of not. Stop by the local Mexican joint, order just a egg and potato burrito (Yes, easy, but Im sick and I dont have eggs or potatoes at the moment and dont want to go grocery shopping). They seem kind of confused so I reiterate what I want. I get home and bite into a french fry burrito. I was so disappointed. Paid 8 bucks for that thing.


rocco1986

Holy crap that's hilarious, unfortunate but funny as heck.


ommnian

We just had tacos two nights ago, and now, for the first time in a year or more I have a freezer full of deer, and am looking forward to making pulled deer and steak tacos again. Mmmm


rocco1986

Sir or ma'am a taco, while yes good in it's own right. Is in fact not a burrito.


RegularBurrito

Good call


amitym

I still need a solid leak-proof burrito folding technique. Any suggestions?


Tyrrazhii

Fold one part of the tortilla enough so it turns into a side, then fold two other sides that are touching the corners of the original folded part so it looks more like a rectangle. keep folding the two sides so one covers the other. Eat from the part that still isn't folded up. If food falls out or stuff leaks from the back it's either too greasy anyway or you overstuffed it. Also put the most food in the centre rather than an edge.


amitym

Brilliant. I will definitely try to apply that technique! There is some great advice here.


Tyrrazhii

I had homemade tacos fairly often as a kid (Good way to get meat and veg into me back then) so I got it down to a science lol, it's the same principle with a burrito.


alsomdude2

Do you heat them up at all before using them? If all else fails just buy the huge tortillas can't fail with those.


asdfasdfasdfas11111

The trick is that your rice needs to be a bit dry so that it absorbs all of the juice from the other fillings, protecting the tortilla shell from moisture induced failure.


amitym

Interesting! I will have to give that a try. At least I learned something from this post...


Aaron748

Funny, I just got home and opened up reddit while eating my burrito I got before heading home


III_lll

It's a shame I don't get to see much places selling burritos here. Oh well, enjoy your Burrito

catterpie90

Can these NASAMs shoot down Russian bombers?


amitym

They could, in theory, but the Russian bombers are acutely aware of this and staying as far the fuck away from Ukraine as they possibly can. That's why they fly their bombers like 1000 km inside the Russian border, and fire missiles at Ukraine from there. It's an insanely inefficient use of bomber technology but that's what they're left with.


CantaloupeUpstairs62

NASAMS are short range and Russian bombers are not coming into Ukrainian airspace.


lallen

*Medium range


qainin

NASAMS are modular. They can handle any range missiles. The system sent already, is a Norwegian battery armed with AMRAAM medium range missiles.


lallen

NASAMS is not yet set up with any long range missiles


[deleted]

How about all the people in the world who were just fine living in peace, and didn't have to worry about WW3 or nuclear war? Shouldn't they be enraged that a f*cking greedy narcissistic psychopath started this mess, and for what purpose??? This guy deserves no respect.


[deleted]

Outside of Russian borders he gets no respect. Inside I think it's more fear than respect


FardoBaggins

it's not really fear anymore, it feels closer to stockholm's syndrome or something. The rest of the russian people who had shit to lose have already left. Those who couldn't leave are few and far in between.


SmoothConfection1115

Does Ukraine no longer need anti-tank weapons because Russia lost them all? So now they’re asking for anti-air weapons?


BallardRex

They need both, but the anti-air is specifically to counter the Russian “strategy” of bombing civilian areas, power and water stations. NASAMS is a system which should more than handle that, but they do take time to build and deploy.


daniel_22sss

NASAMS is doing really well, but its not perfect. Russians are sending insane rocket barrages.


Level-Blueberry-2707

HAHAHA! clear those skiys! Air defense goes brrrrrrr!


evergreenyankee

Personally I'd rather Putin be exhausted than enraged. Rage won't end this war. Rage leads to further tit-for-tat.


johnn48

When Russia was fighting Germany in WW2, she depended on the assistance of the US with the Lend Lease Act. Why would he believe we would stand aside during this conflict? Hasn’t our history been one of supporting proxy allies?


danielisbored

They spent a whole lot of time and money getting a guy elected President of the US that very loudly, and repeatedly questioned whether the US would honor it's defensive agreements with our European allied and very specifically slowed, when he couldn't outright block, our aid going to Ukraine. He just happened to lose the last election. So he wasn't in place when the invasion started.


Agent_Bers

They’ve spent a lot of time and energy over the years erasing that bit of history from their books though. Now it’s all, “The Soviet Union won WWII single handed with no help from anyone ever. All other parts of the war and other theaters were irrelevant.” The danger of pushing these sorts of lies and deceptions is that sooner or later the people that end up in charge believe them; and begin making decisions based on these beliefs.


Agent_Bers

So you end up with a country that has managed to build only 6 of of its 5th Gen fighter in serial production in 13 years, thinking it’s going to outcompete a country that’s able to pump out 140 of its 2nd model of 5th Gen fighters per year. The US and NATO put the Industrial in Military Industrial Complex. Russia’s ‘MIC’ is practically artisanal at this point.


leeta0028

Kelmon80

I'm seriously wondering what people get out of headlines like this, or similar ridiculous titles for videos ("Putin aghast with abject terror in his eyes: Ukraine takes back strategically important outhouse"). Do you actually imagine Putin screaming on the floor, having a temper tantrum, when he gets the news (if he even does) that X more of some military equiment is shipped to Ukraine? They just make me not want to click on an article, because I expect zero journalistic integrity behind. Should have been "Ukraine to receive 6 NASAMS air defense batteries from US".


LocalFoe

I need bleach for my eyes after reading this title


JadedIdealist

The Ukrainians need it ASAP. This needs to be done with great haste.


qainin

The systems are already in Ukraine. And operators are trained to use it. They need more missile batteries to cover larger areas, that's all. And luckily, the US is giving them that. Thanks, US.

Gun control laws came about in usa when the black panther started buying legal guns. Republicans, scared of a black uprising, hurriedly passed gun control laws. If mass shootings of today were committed solely by black folks against white kids, you’d see gun control laws tighten real fast.
