and clear the sidewalks along the route. Nothing would piss that fuck off more than nobody to wave to

The logistical and training challenge to maintain and arm these aircraft is an intense heavy load. Getting experienced pilots ready to fly and train their fellow airmen in them isn't as difficult. The UK is working on it and I'd bet other NATO nations, including us, have Ukrainian personnel in country getting crash courses on those very things amongst other weaponry and tactics. This report says upwards of 30k Ukrainian personnel are already in or coming to the UK to be trained on NATO aircraft amongst other things. I was surprised by that number.

So to Fat Man, Europe's not doing shit to help us help Ukraine? Go wipe your ass if you can reach it

possibly coming to their fruition soon to me one thing is clear. Whomever jumps the gun first better have as close to an iron clad case as possible. The hush money case scares the shit out of me because it's the weakest IMO and honestly I have a hard time trusting Bragg. IMO if the Fat Man gets vindicated out of the gate we're screwed. If he gets found innocent before these other, more damaging IMO cases get going, the J6 stuff is going seem like kids at army camp.

I just hope whomever goes after him first has as close to 100% as possible of nailing him. Nothing will stick on this slimy fucker if they don't. That's why I'm patient, as hard as it is.

The system is slowly strengthening and there is going to be a threat of strong tornadoes in AR, LA, MS and SW TN through sunrise. The timing is what has been most worrisome with this system with a decent potential for strong long track tornadoes in the wee hours while everyone's asleep. Put your weather radios next to your bed tonight. These are the systems that have the potential to be very dangerous.

These early spring severe setups can spawn especially intense super cells and the potential is certainly there this evening for these areas. Some links below from the Severe Storms Prediction Center and also Trey Greenwoods excellent youtube channel Convective Chronicles (super weather nerd language alert ) discussing this evenings setup. This threat will continue into the Tennessee and lower Ohio valleys into tomorrow. We're in an unusual pattern for late winter/early spring so far where things can ramp up quickly. Be safe!

SANTA ANA ZIROSTO, Mexico (AP) — It is a long and sometimes dangerous journey for truckers transporting the avocados destined for guacamole on tables and tailgates in the United States during the Super Bowl. It starts in villages like Santa Ana Zirosto, high in the misty, pine-clad mountains of the western Mexico state of Michoacan. The roads are so dangerous — beset by drug cartels, common criminals, and extortion and kidnap gangs — that state police provide escorts for the trucks brave enough to face the 40-mile (60-kilometer) trip to packing and shipping plants in the city of Uruapan.

Truck driver Jesús Quintero starts early in the morning, gathering crates of avocados picked the day before in orchards around Santa Ana, before he takes them to a weighing station. Then he joins up with other trucks waiting for a convoy of blue-and-white state police trucks — they recently changed their name to Civil Guard — to start out for Uruapan.

*snip

It was an attempt by Michoacan growers to put behind them last year’s debacle, when the U.S. government suspended inspections of the fruit in February, right before the 2022 Super Bowl. The inspections were halted for about 10 days after a U.S. inspector was threatened in Michoacan, where growers are routinely subject to extortion by drug cartels. Some Michoacan packers were reportedly buying avocados from other, non-certified states and trying to pass them off as being from Michoacan and were angry the U.S. inspector wouldn’t go along with that.....

*snip

Exports resumed after Mexico and the United States agreed to enact “measures that ensure the safety” of the inspectors.
“This season we are going to recover the confidence of the producers, growers and consumers. By increasing the export production, we hope to send 130,000 tons this season,” the governor said.
