    A classic mistake, you hate to see it. The blade is supposed to be sideways for a slashing motion, if it’s vertical like that it requires a vertical motion that’s just not very ergonomic for the same effect.

    Seeing that, we all know it is a secret US operation to outfit and maintain the Ukrainian military; Italians use scissors to cut their pizza.

      I think the implication is that NATO will officially join the Ukraine conflict and that Italian soldiers will end up helping in an invasion of Russia.

        I feel like NATO officially joining the war is even less likely than Russia expanding to share its borders with Italy. NATO likes that war is happening, since that means there is money to be made, but they don’t want to actually get officially involved.

          Member of the SSBN force here. I’d love to join the war. Give me a good reason to set condition 1SQ for Strategic Launch. Come on. Give it to me. I’ve been training for this for years. Tell me to flip the switch.

            Im not speaking on individual members, which Im sure a lot feel the same as you.

            But, don’t you think if NATO really wanted to get involved officially, they already would have?

              There’s getting involved “officially”, and then there’s getting involved in practice. There’s a very thin and blurry line there that may not actually exist. Did you think at the outset of this war that we’d be sending F-16s and Abrams tanks to Ukraine by late 2023?

                I didn’t think a war would start. But after the war started, I expected the US and other countries to send actual forces before now, actually. But whatever, thats enough real conversation in a meme post from me.
