Speaking at the European Economic Congress in the Polish city of Katowice, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on countries to increase defense spending and once again raised the idea of building a common European air defense system. |

One facing forward, and one facing aft would probably be best |

The stories and even books that will come out from this war, especially from the Russian side, will be epic. The craziest epic SEAL book will pale compared to one of the thousands of "from serial killer, to prison, to Storm Z, to Ukrainian front, to shooting my C/O and then getting captured, then getting traded and returning home to more serial killing, to back to Storm Z"...Can anything compete this this insanity?!?! |

If she really believes that Moldova is fucked. I’ve always been against the idea of Ukraine somehow easily rolling up Transnistria. They don’t have the manpower or the offensive capability and it’s all they can do to hold ground in the east. They don’t need to buy more problems. Transnistria is not an important objective. I don’t disagree with her in general. At least with that as a public position. Moldova can’t possibly sort it out themselves. If it does need to get sorted, let Russia make the first move and have a plan in place to crush it. Romania should already have a counterintel operation running. |

  The crew compliments the Abrams' accuracy, stabilization, thermal optics, and maneuverability. They also say the Abrams Reactive Armor Tile (ARAT) is effective, but they don't have reactive armor for the turret, which is the biggest shortcoming. They say the depleted uranium anti-tank rounds are effective, but they need more fragmentation rounds to perform other missions. The gunner and driver both said it was easy to learn how to operate. The driver says it would be effective in tank battles but that isn't the environment they are fighting in.
