Capability and capacity are two very different things.

Yes, I understand the manufacturing capability exists, but it's capacity is limited i.e. existing facilities could not maintain a strategically significant production volume relative to Ukraine's needs, much less to deter Putin.

Oh I'm sure the thought of two dozen cruise missiles will straighten Putin out ASAP.

For starters, this would not be a new or unprecedented capability for the Ukrainians.

If Germany had several hundred to part with immediately, and the capacity to regularly replenish those stocks, that would make a significant difference on the battlefield, but I doubt it would make Putin sue for peace.

But of course, Germany does not have those kind of stockpiles or manufacturing capacity to maintain that.

Still, it would be nice to see more European politicians picking up the banner of supplying Ukraine in the face of likely diminished, or eliminated, American transfers.

Star Wars is dead. Long live....wait, no...sorry, it's definitely dead.

It is the entire national Democratic party and their gigantic horde of consultants.

People here don't seem to understand that Trump winning to them, is a preferable outcome to someone like Bernie Sanders ever holding power.

I'm not saying they want Trump in office, I'm saying that Trump in office means they retain their jobs and influence. Both of which are predicated upon keeping their voters trained on the idea that campaigns are only about marketing, and politics is about anything other than how it can directly improve their material conditions.

Imagine a Democratic politician broke through the existing power structures and enacted something like Medicare for All. That is is the biggest threat to their power: an actual FDR Democrat. Someone who takes money and power from the donor class, and uses it to directly improve the material conditions for the rest of us.

I was with you until the end.

If you're going to satirize Biden, you have to do more than just pull direct quotes from him.

Yes, let's blame the voters for losing the election....

Not the Democratic party or their candidate, because clearly only voters can fail them, they can't fail us.

Not even this?

Do you find yourself looking for opinions on him often?

Because I bet you sought them out, you would find that comment to be extremely mild criticism by comparison.

His only two good roles were in Avenue 5 and the episode he did for Party Down.

And by good roles I mean, they both feel like he's playing an exaggerated version of himself: whiney, self-important, and delusional.

STOP. POSTING. NEWSWEEK.

It is trash and has been for sometime.

Go find this story being run In a credible outlet, and repost.

Oh, and last I saw, pretty much all credible pollsters had this election at a resounding, "heads or tails, pick one".

Go vote.
