Last post by GDS_Starfury - Yesterday at 10:24:01 PMI just remember the issues with our nukes in Germany in the 80's. I get that it's different countries and eras but I just don't see us basing nukes in Poland. they're quite happy in England and Montana.

Current Events / Re: Russia's War Against Ukrai...
Last post by Uberhaus - Yesterday at 08:47:49 PMI guess brevity doesn't work for me and I need to continue with quantity.
One of the reasons the Poles want nuclear deterrence is that they are greatly threatened by the threat of Russian WMDs on their doorstep. Flight time for an Iskander to Warsaw is two minutes. https://observer.com/2016/11/russian-missiles-new-target-all-of-europe/ Apparently, Berlin has an extra minute to duck-and-cover.
I agree that it would be a significant escalation for the Russians, and unlikely to occur; but the Russians deployed nuclear arms to Belorus last year and have had them in Kalinigrad since 2016 (I nearly typed 1916). https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-moving-nuclear-capable-missiles-into-kaliningrad/
Anyone know what the state of the THAAD for Poland is?

Music, TV, Movies / Re: Civil War
Last post by Grim.Reaper - Yesterday at 01:29:54 PMCertainly wasn't movie of the year or must see by any stretch, but was "watchable" and had no regrets in seeing it, wife actually like it more than me. Do think it could be have been better for me if it was more focused on the war but oh well.

Last post by ArizonaTank - Yesterday at 12:13:12 PMSaw it with my wife over the weekend.
The story has some tense moments, but overall it just seems to drift. I really can't recommend it.
Maybe when it gets to streaming, and the 1000 other choices you have just don't seem to catch your interest...then you might try it.
