Jumped on Kamuru Usman in the first round and at the end of the first, goldmine city.

Very impressed with Usman what a fucking beast, realized potential ftw. Picture perfect gameplan, someone watched some MacDonald-Woodley tape, on top of that athleticism too, so good.
Score!

Well that main event was very reminiscent of the OSP-Jones fight, except with the two point deduction in the fourth. Pretty solid card, even with two one-sided decision wins to end it.

Good night of degenerate gambling too, won $650. Good ol' MMA.

Pakistan Navy foils attempt by Indian submarine to enter Pakistani waters

The Pakistan Navy detected an Indian submarine on Monday night trying to enter Pakistani waters and successfully thwarted the attempt, the Navy's spokesperson said on Tuesday — exactly a week after India's aerial violation of the Line of Control that sent tensions soaring between the two nuclear-armed states.

The U.S. will never let the nukes fly between pakistan/india.

US businesses would be crushed - most of their programming is either outsourced to India or the product of H1-Bs inside the US, not to mention all the call centers that would be eliminated when the Paki nukes take out Mumbai, Trivandrum, etc.

Gonna have to let a few eggs get broken to make that omelet.

Is this the naval escalation that Smitty mentioned?

Certainly the Indian Navy doing reconnaissance in preparation for said escalation.

Likely probing the Pakistani ASW screen to find out where the gaps are.

No shooting yet, so trial and error while you can.

For Pakistan is not so much about the one you detected.

It's more about which ones didn't you detect and how close in did they get.

I also take that as a kind of saber rattling ultimatum from India.

That submarine is snorkeling, which means he wanted to be detected.

It's like he already got by them, so was just letting them know for future reference that he could again anytime.

There's no reason you would ever put your snorkel up in contact.

Other than "we are here, but you never saw us until it was too late, you know it, and we know it"

Psyops. Intimidation. Strategic warning.

See, that's not two periscopes there, the one in front is the search periscope, the thing in back is the snorkel for the diesel generator, so that SSK is not in stealth mode, he's broadcasting his location and he would know, so it would only be to a purpose.

Does Lockheed Martin make subs? If so, can we sell some to India?
