OMG.
#Vance on #MtP just cited "If not for the United States providing #Ukraine with #Javelin Missiles during the T**** Administration, we probably would have seen #Russia invade Ukraine much sooner."
T****'S FIRST IMPEACHMENT WAS FOR THREATENING TO *WITHHOLD* THE JAVELIN MISSILES APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS if they did not dig up dirt on #HunterBiden.

Great Olympics story!
Arshad Nadeem is the son of a poor construction worker from a village called Mian Chunnu, in Pakistan.
The people of the village raised money for his training, and he had to fundraise for a new javelin to train for these Olympics as the one he had used for the past 8 years was damaged.
He made it to the Olympics and set a new record, and won Pakistan's first individual gold medal! 
Gold!
For #ArshadNadeem of #Pakistan
And, a Silver for #NeerajChopra of #India
Congratulations to both for winning #Javelin at #Paris2024 #OlympicGames

Y'ALL!
records are being smashed left on these #Olympics and this guy Arshad Nadeem of #Pakistan just DESTROYED the WR and OR for #javelin of 92.97 METERS IN HIS FIRST THROW. now for his last throw he just threw +91 METERS.
and it's the first gold medal for Pakistan IN 40 YEARS!!!!
#athletics have been amazing this year.
wow.
Our track & field design is perfect for the runner, jumper, pole vaulter, sprinter, discus/shotput/javelin thrower, hurdler or anyone who loves track & field
The Olympics are starting!
Do any #sports have this kind of ambidextrous standard today? From the 1923 Women's Olympiad:
"Each athlete in the shot put and javelin throw events threw using their right hand, then their left. Their final mark was the total of the best mark with their right-handed throw and the best mark with their left-handed throw."
Ich verstehe diese Fixierung auf die #KrimBrücke nicht, wenn #Russland aktuell gerade gemütlich eine #Bahnstrecke durch die besetzten Gebiete zieht.
So wie ich das sehe liegen die #Prioritäten z. Zt. woanders.
Was die anderen Systeme angeht: Ich wollte nur auf die zwei "Wunderwaffen" verweisen, die sich wirklich als #Wunderwaffen herausgestellt haben.
Bei #Javelin z.B. gab's auch Probleme - zu kurze Reichweite, ungünstige Flugbahn etc..
