A lot of it is I think they took a lot of the good parts of the T-64 (a larger gun, autoloader, composite armor) and improved on them while going with a more simple diesel engine, and it worked. Arguably, while there was some loss in efficiency from different plants "competing" with each other, it also forced some changes, and that often isn't a bad thing. The T-64 isn't a bad tank either in a broader sense; it was just hard not to give more resources to the T-72 when it came out.

I have to laugh at the popular consensus of the t80's turbine as being complex, finicky, thirsty and not worth it while the m1's is high performance clever war winning technology

I am willing to be corrected, but I'm 90% sure that is not how it was seen. Soviets continued to only use the T-64 and T-80 all the way to the end of the Cold War. If you look at the composition of tank or even motor rifle regiments even in 1989, not it's all 64s and 80s. The T-72 was primarily used by the other Warsaw Pact countries, because it was cheaper, and also because the Soviets did not like exporting their top of the line stuff.

Now, after the Cold War, suddenly the T-72 looks like a much better deal. You can put improved fire control and thermals into it, and the T-80 ans T-64's advantage narrows a lot, while still being way more expensive. And a lot of those were made in Ukraine anyway.

Freeze Dried Uncooked Chicken Tenders


Freeze Dried Chicken Tenders in #10 Can

6 #10 cans (13 oz per can) fit neatly in 1 case, making storing easy! There are 18 to 22 Freeze Dried Uncooked Chicken Tenders per can (108 to 132 tenders per case!!!). All are hand-trimmed. All cans were sealed in an oxygen/moisture free environment.

Flash Facts:
#10 Size Cans (aka Gallon Size Can)
18 to 22 Chicken Tenders per Can
Net Weight 13 oz
U.S. Government/Military Surplus
25+ year shelf life
No Refrigeration Required
June 2023 Production.
These Chicken Tenders are current production overruns, Manufactured in 2023 by a large military defense contractor. We just purchased a large lot of these direct from a Defense Reutilization Office (DRO) Source. Although actual use is always classified on these kinds of bids, our information is that these are purchased for Executive Branch use, not for our troops in the field. That usually means these go to underground bunkers for continuity of government use by strategic military leaders, congressional members and sometimes even the White House staff or leadership. We opened several cans to try these out before we committed to such a large quantity, and these are actually amazing: tender, boneless, gourmet trimmed, very tasty and as fresh as the day they were flash frozen and dehydrated!

Each can contains 18 to 22 Chicken Tenders, and to use them just soak in cold water for 20 minutes (until the meat feel tender throughout) and cook. They come out of the can looking just like the chicken tenders that you would get at your grocer's deli - and there was no shrinkage when we cooked them. We've found that although great with only a 20 minute soak in cold water, if you let them sit longer they get even more tender. You can expect to get 25+ years out of them in the can - and probably as many as 30 to 40 since there is no water or oxygen in the can to spoil them!!!

Once opened they will last:
up to 1 year in a Zip Lock bag with refrigeration once opened but not re-hydrated
up to 60 days in a zip lock bag without refrigeration once opened, but not re-hydrated
up to 5 days in the fridge once they are re-hydrated

These are perfect for storing and using for many years! You can have great tasting food in minutes with no mess and no waste - and it doesn't matter if the power goes out!!! You can open just one can at a time and in 20 minutes cook one or as many of these as you want however you would cook any other fresh chicken tenders!! Perfect for camping, boating, traveling, or at the cabin.

Manufactured, Procured, and Canned in the USA

I think we should be very realistic about the extent to which we have been co-opted, that major elements in our society has been co-opted, and that this is still on-going

these guys are so deep in our system, they have access to the best lawyers the West has to provide, I mean like, they've got all [of] New York City and London working for them

we're over a year-and-a-half since the full-scale invasion and it's still on-going! you know, so we have to get this corruption out of our society

gradenko_2000 posted:

okay so who is Paul Massaro referring to here when he talks about people "deep in our system", who has "co-opted our society", that has "the best lawyers" from "New York"

and what does he mean when he says "we have to get this corruption out of our society"

Panel Discussion: The Lessons of Ukraine for Captive Nations around the world

Russia’s unjust and reckless invasion of Ukraine has given many reasons for democratic and free societies to rally in support of the Ukrainian people. Through the lessons and experiences of former captive nations, we know the consequences of people living under communism and other forms of totalitarian regimes. Although the Soviet Union collapsed and the Berlin Wall fell, one-fifth of the world’s population today is still suffering under single-party communist regimes. This panel explored the lessons of historic captive nations, the struggle for freedom in countries still held captive by communism today, and the lessons that we can draw from the Ukrainian people’s brave resistance in the face of the Putin regime’s war and tyranny.

OVERVIEW

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation’s Latin America Studies and Programs Center promotes individual freedom, respect for human rights, and democracy throughout Latin America, but especially Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. Our researchers document human rights abuses, support in-region civil society and pro-democracy groups, and educate the American public and U.S. policy makers about the realities on the ground.

PROGRAMS

The Castro regime has developed sophisticated human trafficking and forced labor schemes to exploit the Cuban people, with emphasis on health personnel. The Cuban regime, in collusion with international communist allies, sends Communist Medical Brigades overseas to sell health care services for propaganda purposes. Communist commissaries and secret police agents oversee the Communist Medical Brigades’ workers and regularly confiscate between 75% and 90% of their wages. VOC’s Latin America Programs advocate for the rights of these workers, conducting research on Trafficking in Medical Personnel (TIMP) and providing legal assistance to these victims of communism.
