Thanks! The Internet makes it a lot harder than you'd think to find out which Block variant Ukraine is getting.

"Thanks. We'll send extra patrols. Sorry that happened. Have a good day!"

Is that true? I thought they were either built for multirole or air superiority/intercepting? I didn't think any of the variants were built as attackers.

Like I said to the other guy, if that's even true, it doesn't matter because Russia doesn't field the J-17.

Let's pretend for a minute that it is actually better. Russia doesn't field the J-17, so it doesn't matter.

Yeah, I call it the gun show loophole because that's the common phrasing, but I see your issue with the phrase. Do you have a preferred name for it?

I personally still think any gun sale should be facilitated through an FFL whether directly or as a third party for the purpose of background checks being done.

This opinion makes no sense to me. The US Army was also formed during a terrorist action, so was the Russian red army. We wouldn't have called the Russian red army in WW2 a terrorist organization, and we certainly wouldn't call the US military a terrorist organization. We could call them cruel or bad or whatever based on personal opinions, but we wouldn't call them terrorist organizations.

For a more extreme example, the Nazi military was far far worse than Hamas or the IDF and I still would call them a professional military. They were still state sanctioned, trained to a specific common standard, paid a wage, internationally recognized as a military force, etc. etc.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to phrase it. Well trained but bad is a better phrasing I suppose. I find it hard to use the word "bad" when both sides are "bad" idk. I get where both sides come from in the fight 🤷‍♂️

Shit, or work with the Dems and Republicans to make reasonable gun legislation that everyone can support, for example the gun show loophole IMO.

Yeah! It's not surprising.

20% of gun owners (including me) claim to lean or be Democrats. That's a fifth of possible customers you'll never get a penny from. 44% claim to be or lean republican and the remaining 36% didn't swing either way or didn't answer. I'm sure a lot of them also have moved on to more inclusive organizations like you've said.

Gun safety and ownership shouldn't be a political thing, but the NRA makes it one every chance it gets. Like, from my understanding, they've been quietly uppity on preventing smart guns from being sold in the US for years now for no reason.

Yeah, but that's what we know of. It's suspected that there's a record breaking (for modern Europe) mass grave outside Mariupol. I doubt the numbers will get as high as the IDFs, but we can't get any independent journalists or investigators past Russia's front line from my understanding.

Also, like the other guy said, that fight is a bad professional army vs a better smaller professional army.

The IDF vs Hamas is an okay but cruel professional army against a relatively bad terrorist organization.

I get the sense that the country that elected Trump and the one that almost elected Marie Le Pen may have similar views on race relations. I could be wrong though.
