Sorry. I tend not to use sarcasm tags. I try to post things so obviously sarcastic and/or satirical that they don’t need them. But on this board tone can be hard to read and if a reader is unfamiliar with some of the subject matter the satire may not come through properly.

I knew you were being sarcastic, just didn't know the references. (And who is the “anti colonial bisexual”?)

It does say something remarkable about the farce America's GOP has become that a Senator can call his party's nominee "Hitler" ... and then become Hitler's VP!! Wow!!

It was one of the random people mentioned in the article who had called Sydney Sweeney a Nazi.

The point is the asymmetry. They had to dig deep to find any rando on the internet to support their point of the so-called left’s rhetoric when it’s so obvious that it is people of the highest echelon saying those things on the right.

That is a good point. At least with Vance having referred to Trump as a "Nazi" there is the fact that, like Hitler, Trump is the leader of a powerful country, has a lot of power and behaves as a dictator in many ways. But SS as a Nazi, or espousing Nazi views? That's just a big fat, obvious "No". And that gets back to my original point when I said, "Well, there are people who think Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi, so anything is possible."

My pop culture ignorance is a real handicap sometimes. I don’t even recognize the name Sidney Sweeney is this her?
She does look pretty hot.

Nice. A sexy Nazi. Whaddaya want to bet that this movie will end up in Swamerdammi's film que in the next few hours?
 
It should be unsurprising that in this modern flat earth time that one can scour the internet to find someone saying pretty much anything no matter how stupid, uneducated, or uninformed it is.

But it’s not like it was Chuck Schumer calling Sweeney a Nazi

I still don't. Nor could I tell you what clothing brand she was in an ad for. Nor do I know who decided on the tag line for the ad, although I am confident that she didn't.

The whole kerfuffle is idiotic.

Now I know she was in a clothing ad, thanks.
I’ve been called every name in the book - by my wife, by trumpsuckers … nobody cares about who calls ME a fucking Nazi.
😥

Gotta get me some clothing ads, so’s people will CARE.

American Eagle. And the tag line is not written by her, it's a reference to a much older ad campaign from the 70s which was also pedo bait.

Exactly. The cognitive disconnect is flabbergasting. The petite Yvette Felarca became a boogeygirl for a while for pushing a Nazi with her open palm, but the Foxettes and QOP Congresscritters literally tell jokes about Paul Pelosi nearly being bludgeoned to death. Some drunk posting on Facebook calls somebody I never heard of "Nazi" and that's a cause célèbre, but they ignore that Trump's own VP directed the same insult at his Fuhrer.

I don't want to scroll back: Am I correct that a fellow Infidel right here at IIDB had the same cognitive disconnect about the "Nazi" insult?

At least nobody here is laughing at Paul Pelosi being bludgeoned. (Or have I overlooked that?)

And the most ironic part is that these people so up on arms over the disrespect of Nazis in ways not even so violent as to even remotely be expected to hurt them, these fragile fucking snowflakes that Nazis apparently are... Are fucking Nazis.

And I really think they just don't care about Paul Pelosi.

We cannot expect or even hope for them to be genuine, and the clear lack of genuine care is plain for all to see, and what makes it apparent that it's just not an ideology of reason, for all they will occasionally abuse reason around certain complicated and abstract ideas to further their agenda.

All I can say is that hopefully this time, we will remember what people looked like before the "pieces of flair" came out.

"Pedo bait"? Sidney Sweeney is 28. Do words even mean anything anymore?

This is the commercial that launched a 1000 tweets, btw.:


I fail to see anything remotely racist nor "pedo baitish" about the ad.

Can Putin even prosecute another war? Russia has been suffering hundreds of thousands of casualties (and yes, I know that includes injured) and has lost a lot of mechanized equipment like tanks as well.

According to this webpage from Ukraine's Ministry of Finance, Russia is losing around 900-1000 military personnnel a day in Ukraine, and has lost 1,107,400 in the war to 29 September 2025.

The stark fact that leaps out at me from that page is just how many men Russia loses, and how few tanks and armoured vehicles. These guys are so poorly equipped and supported.

Also of note is that aircraft are barely engaged, but UAVs are being destroyed at a rate of hundreds a day (and presumably therefore deployed in even greater numbers).

It's a different kind of war from anything seen previously - but it still mostly consists of men in muddy holes with inadequate supply and support, just like every war since forever.

Fundamentally, this is because we are in the age of missile.

The missiles needed to kill a tank (counting the ones that miss, the ones destroyed before being launched etc) are far cheaper than the tank. Likewise, the missiles required to kill an modern aircraft are far cheaper than the aircraft. Thus neither type of vehicle is usefully sent into a war of attrition. They can be profitable for reasons of mobility (moving faster than the defenses can react) but that's about it. On both sides aircraft are basically bomb/missile trucks.

Thus we have infantry/artillery/missiles (and I'm counting drones as a form of missile.) Barring major changes I do not expect this to change.

Putin can't prosecute the ground war he's already got; But he can distract NATO with military aviation assets (which he dare not deploy in Ukraine, because they will just get shot down), and make the EU countries want to keep their materiel for their own defence, rather than sending it to Ukraine.

Yeah, he's trying to scare people out of aiding Ukraine.

What makes you think ANY return? Aren't they just flying bombs? In any case they probably get redeployed untill destroyed.
My guess is the deployed/destroyed numbers are close to equal.

I think he's counting "destroyed" as in shot down rather than in not return to base.

Ukraine actually has some that deploy sub-drones and then return.

And against non-resisting targets (say, a disabled vehicle) they use ones that drop explosives and return if the target is close enough that they can make it home.

Well if NATO wasn’t forcing Russian military aircraft to violate their borders we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Funny you mentioned it. NATO actually tried to do exactly that with a russian merchant ship.
Russian ship was in international waters. Estonian nazis decided to "inspect" it. In order to do that they ordered it to sail into ..... estonian waters. Captain told them to go and fuck themselves and called for russian support which quickly arrived in the form of Su-27. Mighty estionian navy was forced to abandon their ingenious plan.
