    Enjoying FNC this morning. Good thing we have Will Cain on to instruct Pete and some Green Beret on military matters. Sometimes he just needs to shut up and get out of the way.

    I only hope the joint chiefs are giving him the Nixon end of term treatment.

    I remember this, but I wonder if there isn't some sort of stop gap in today's nuclear chain of command. Just getting a launch order out of the blue from a head of state with really nothing leading up to it may fit in a different decision tree. It may be the same for the SRF in Russia.

    Maybe John Deere will offer a “Ukrainian Special Edition” Blue over Yellow paint job?

    (Yellow and Blue mix to make Green, anyway)
    Didn’t they already try that in the late ‘60’s early ‘70’s with their lawn tractors and it was a flop?

    I keep seeing news reports thar says Russia had 15k + tanks. Are they calling APC's tanks as well? Or does Russia really have that many tanks not including APC's?

    Even if they do/did have 15k tanks, that doesn't mean you can use them all.
    How many are down for regular maintenance?
    How many are down for critical maintenance?
    How many are waiting on parts?
    How many are being used as parts?
    Also, how many are needed around your country to guard against other threats?
    And how many are needed as a rapid reaction force?

    Not what I'm asking. I'm wondering if the media is counting APC'S as tanks.
