Russia aircraft carrier has questionable future

    Russia one and only aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov have been in dock for over four years now, the plan was to have the ship refitted with updated electronics, defense systems and a proper Maintenace the projected timeline on the upgrades and new systems were set for a year and a half to two years, but the ship have been riddled with issues and problems that forced the rebuild to keep extending the timeline and running up the cost of the work.  as of today, all work has halted.
    the Kommersant newspaper have reported that the ship may be sold off or just scrapped.  if this happens this diminishes Russian power projection across the globe. this shit is an aging floating disaster it was plagued with issues from her first launce all the way back in 1985, with engine issues, structural and design flaws off the bat. 
    Russia was hoping to retro fit her and press her into service for a bit longer while they retool and reconfigure the Russian Navy.  with the Navy already in a state of disrepair across all platforms the loss of a major power player such as an aircraft carrier effectively kneecaps the former soviet bear.  not giving them the reach needed to be a major threat of any magnitude off there shores.  
    Reports do state the sub forces are semi well maintained so this does keep them is the world stage as somewhat of a power player.

its big its beautiful its a bill ITS A BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

      The big, beautiful bill contained some NFA items in it.  If you followed the bill, you would know what I am talking about. It held language regarding suppressors and shirt barrel rifles.  the hope was to have them removed from the NFA.  What does that mean?  well in laymen terms the feds wanted to have the SBR and all suppressors removed from the registry and that would take away the tax stamp needed to legally own one of these items.      If you want to legally possess a short barrel rifle (SBR) or a suppressor (silencer) you needed to go to a class three FFL, fill out paperwork, have papers signed by the local sheriff and turn in fingerprints an pay a 200-dollar tax stamp fee.  All this paperwork was then sent to the BATF and you waited.  the weight time was in most cases close to a year before you got the thumbs up or down. all this was just stupid and unnecessary.  it was like bureaucratic busy work. ...

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

      I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my hands, wrists and arm for a little over two years now.  My right hand was always the worst of the two.  It got to the point where I cannot sleep, loosing feeling and in constant pain.  It feels like a match in lit in my wrist and as the day rolls on it becomes a blow torch.  I finally spoke with my PCP about it and got a referral to see a specialist.  and after a battery of testing its determined that I need an operation, at first it was carpal tunnel in my wrist but after speaking with the surgeon it was found I also need a operation on my nerve leading into the thumb on my right hand as well as an operation on my right elbow so four places need operated in total.  man, when I go big, I GO BIG I guess.      I'm hoping all this will clear up all the pain I'm in.  I need sleep and to be human once again.  I have several irons in the fire and need to be healthy.  I...
