Can we stop and talk for a minute about how ridiculous the idea that an adversary would launch just one missile is? ‘Cause it’s kinda really important. It’s like “vampires and zombies exist” level of belief suspension but nobody calls Twilight an important movie to watch.

It’s people piling on them, but I just prefer to pretend they don’t exist.

A tankie’s dignity is like energy, it can’t be destroyed.

The characterization is wrong but, short answer, Qatar would be at least the third country.

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States for having a foreign airbase on American soil?

I hear some very mild jet engines at medium-low altitude. Must be the Canadian Snowbirds in town and practicing again.

There have been entirely months when I have only listened to Johnny Cash. Not for healthy reasons. But he spoke to me like no one else could. Except for maybe George Jones, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Left Frizzel, and of course Willie Nelson.

I somehow stopped watching The Righteous Gemstones before Walton Goggins as Baby Billy showed up and that could be the biggest mistake I’ve made all year.

Well, that was an unusual ASPEN flight. Can't remember when they've done that before. Heard it pass by, wish I'd known ahead of time.

I did not realize this, but Airwolf was capable of boost phase missile defense. See, it IS possible.

At the 4:30 mark, Airwolf prevents Javier Milei from leaving the USA with his bailout money.

Bonus: the original ALCM design as "Seasnake" cruise missile.

Third World War had its problems, namely a combat strength derived almost completely from anti-tank power and 45km hex sides (doctrinally Soviet Army level frontage) which makes Korea look ridiculously small and reduces unit maneuver. But I may have to get this.

Yet again the Trump Administration dips into the deep, deep pool of people who just can't get elected and just thrusts them into government.
