romad1 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Our kids with their shooter drills have it pretty bad (and totally unacceptable) but this is worse. Imagine those Cold War era "duck and cover" drills but with a realistic chance of happening on a daily basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Reports from US intelligence that the Russians are buying artillery shells from N. Korea. The good part is that the clear implication is that China has declined to offer similar support. Russia turns to N. Korea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea SO, this will be kinda nerdy humor but colleagues and i were riffing on the idea that Xi had to keep everything cool until after the CCP congress in October. We decided it would be an excellent idea for a teen exploitation movie. "An entire nation is mired in rigid orthodoxy until one kid showed them how to really party. This Christmas, Timothy Chalomet stars in Planet Footloose: How I stopped worrying and learned how to dance" I'd accept Doctor Footloose if you weren't worried about hitting that too on the nose.
