Excellent show as always, especially as the slacker got back in his chair! Having him standing all the time must have been weird Btw I sent a small super chat before I heard that they weren’t working. I certainly got changed for it; did you get it?.

Had major oral surgery today to take care of some long term problems that had been making my life miserable for months. Part of why I haven't caught you guys live in many weeks. Managed to watch it over the weekend. Can't say much. Exhaustion and pain killers... As usual, you two are consistently putting out great material, and it's stuff the world needs to know. Keep it up. Just two things before I fall out of my chair. The people that are saying to just let Putin have it. Not my country, and that will satisfy him and all will be well. Complete fucking idiots. I know they have no clue about the geography. After Ukraine he's on the border with two new countries and they are both in NATO. Romania and Poland. He already has contiguous borders with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania via Belarus. Take Latvia and then Lithuania and he can avoid any debt to Belarus and those will free up Kaliningrad, already a Russian province. IMO, he'd go for the three Baltic states on some self-defense pretext before tackling two larger NATO countries. I retired at RAF Lakenheath (England) in '98 and they just concluded major cooperation and regional familiarization flying exercises in Poland and with their Air Force a couple of weeks ago. I don't think he's going to want to go there, not after the way the Ukrainians are showing their capability to fight back and his army and air forces are causing damage and casualties and committing war crimes, but they are disorganized and sloppy as hell. I would advert those people to one of Rudyard Kipling's fine poems, "Dane-Geld." Once you start appeasing or paying off a bully (or invader), there is no way to stop short of full-scale war. I'll include just the final of six stanzas here. Easy to find via your favorite search engine if you want to read the whole thing. "We never pay any-one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the nation that pays it is lost!" So, let Putin have Ukraine and call of the sanctions and there will be no stopping him from building back the Soviet Union. My second thing was trifling. Women, on the whole, absolutely do make better marksmen than men. At least at the beginner level. I taught basic safety, gun handling, and marksmanship for many years including a three-year stint with the Norfolk Army Cadet force (England not frigging Virginia). The problem with males over 11 is testosterone and attitude. They fight recoil and have an inherent need to dominate the firearm. They can't accept that there is always going to be movement. Women don't have testosterone to give them problems and often don't have the strength to fight the recoil. They learn to absorb it and roll with it. And they do quite well as long as husbands and boyfriends are not yelling in their ear. Of my two daughters, the younger (born the year after Winston) was a natural and virtually an instant marksman. Her older sister (born the year before Winston) never wanted to learn and I never did more than offer her the opportunity to go with her sister and mother and I. No point in pushing it. Keep up the great work, stay awesome, and I'll see you on the next one...
