Right wing crazies have been urging fox to kick Shep off for years.

Seems like we know what Barr wanted from Murdoch!

I literally ran into Shepard Smith at the Louvre last year (we were both coming around a corner from different sides) and he is cool as hell. His son seemed rad too.

gg shep for cashing those checks

Its how he thinks deals are made: Announce the deal ahead of time and hope the guy across the table has a weaker stomach than you.

But its China. So they don't. Trump is the weak party at the negotiating table.

i believe i read something that one of the well-known chinese negotiating tactics is to get you to commit to a big deal signing ahead of time, drop a big change on you at the last minute, and make you pick between announcing the deal signing is off or accepting their last minute grab

Why do people like Shep fall on the sword and step down instead of making the cronies drag them out?

It's not like his career is over or anything. Unless there's something else going on.

Nope. Counterbattery stuff is pretty common, at least the guys and probably their chain of command know where the fire is coming from, if not who is firing.

Radar systems to figure out where artillery fire came from (so you can shoot back at it) date back to like the 1970s.

I'd honestly be surprised if they didn't have a Q36 radar, they're relatively small and easy to move around.
