I am a better writer than you are. More creative, certainly. Talent and experience trumps credentials.

I can’t claim a Joseph Conrad or V.S. Naipaul level of talent (both to some degree ESL guys), but we are not playing at that level.

It’s so funny that you think you have the authority to declare a foreigner as being a traitor to a foreign country that you are not even a citizen of.

That takes some huge balls, but given your apparent social life, that part at least seems plausible..

Your projections are off the charts, Billy. You can’t win arguments here for your leftist globalist cause, so all you can do is make personal attacks. It’s all you ever do.

Apparently Raytheon is adding laser back onto the Excalibur.

I’d say an incremental cost increase of $70,000 for the Excalibur S over the current $168,000 is very optimistic given the escalating cost of US weapons.

Where do you get your absurd ideas?
By what lunacy would the president of a country under attack, defending his homeland quite successfully against immense odds...
Be guilty of “high treason “?

But keep making it up. Childish fantasies like that are less than worthless.

I just did. Nobody is impressed with the Zelensky crime family. Well, nobody Conservative, that is.

Now you can leave, comrade. Dis-missed.

It’s called “reality”, Billy. Look into it.

You know that simply declaring someone a troll as a defense is devoid of a substantive argument, right? You appear to be irony-impaired.

That makes absolutely no sense. Try harder, sonny.

Now you’re fantasizing that I’m a leftist and globalist.
Pretty pathetic.
Do you even have a single meaningful thing to say about the Ukraine war? I haven’t seen one yet.

Putin could stop all this tomorrow as well.

So could the US but they are not going to as they are itching for an all out hot war, if for no other reason than to keep the socialist in power. The last lock up didn’t work too well and the next one probably will work even less. So the next best thing is to start a war.

You’ve declared yourself a troll with your postings and personal attacks in lieu of substantive arguments (and rather perverse and lurid ones, to boot. Signs of an unwell individual).

Dismissed, comrade.

At some point, you have to consider the value for money o to gain accuracy vs extending the range. Making the round both GPS guided and laser guided might be putting a hat on a hat.

This is all they do, write childish insults.
Lately they love the fantasy that the Ukrainian people are going to “string up” their president for defending the country.

No reason on earth to expect any such thing, but they keep bellowing it like they’re crazy or drunk.

I notice their talking points seem to change in unison. This is their latest creation.

You are a leftist and a globalist.

Yes, that is pretty pathetic, given that this is a Conservative website and we don’t cotton to that garbage here.

As for a meaningful thing to say about the civil war ? It’s none of our damn business. You can leave for Kiev to fight for your totalitarian dictator right now if it means so much to you. I’m more worried about the border with Mexico being flooded with millions from throughout the world. Too bad you guys don’t give a damn about that.

I respect Ought-six as a thoughtful FReeper who obviously lives rent free in your head, but I ain’t him. What else you got, Skip?

I think it is ridiculous, but I am not a a Raytheon lobbyist or NeoCon globalist war tout.

The Kras costs 1/10 of the Excalibur, and it can’t be shut down by EW shutting off GPS, unlike the Ex.

You are a leftist and a globalist, blah blah blah

You are sooo losing here if this is what you have to resort to. Quit while you’re behind, sonny.
