Gas price increases tend to impact the folks that are already struggling the most.   I think it's tough to ask them to not be concerned about it, but there is definitely also a class that is driving way less and can absorb it temporarily and maybe they could chillax a tad.

It's the poor folks fault though.  If they would only buy a Tesla, they wouldn't need to worry about gas prices.  (referencing Colbert)

welp...the war might get bigger.  Russia has 140M people.  That is a lot.  

Lt. Gen Hertling used the term "cannon meat" on the Bulwark podcast yesterday.... 

He wasn't kidding. They just don't care about sending their young to die in such a meaningless way

If you want to win in a modern complicated battle you need all the arms in concert.  We used to describe it as a ballet.  It was weird listening to guys who were more comfortable talking about their brand of dip than discussing Swan Lake talk in those terms but that was the phrase we used.  

You need to fight in any terrain. You need artillery to fight off infantry and air defense.  You need air defense to fight off air.  You need air to fight artillery and tanks.  You need tanks to fight tanks.  You need drones to give you an idea of what is going on and to augment your air.  It requires organization to de-conflict all those "dancers" in the ballet.  It requires very smart people to provide logistics for the dance. 

If you only use one instrument (tanks) at a time on a single axis of attack then you are going to lose a lot of stuff and people will die.

This is like watching Jason Statham be surrounded by 10 guys, who then step in to fight him one at a time.

I don't think they take wheel-bound troops.  They are happy to kill people like that though. 

And you surely wouldn’t trust him to even drive a vehicle considering how he ended up in that chair along which I assume resulted in the head injury that makes him sound like a complete moron.
