The situation in the Ukraine is much different now than when I made that post two months ago. It is impossible to predict what will happen in the fog of war.
The Ukraine out manned and out gunned.

Thanks. I saw the "27" on the date and only realized it was from February after posting. Agreed the Ukrainians have performed much better than previously thought. Also, the Russians have performed surprisingly poorly; a fifth rate military with NBC weapons.

Fat Boy's military expertise is limited to playing "Call of Duty" all day at "work".

I believe the world is shocked at the performance of the Russian military even after Afghanistan it was thought to be a juggernaut.

Like the big-talking US militias proved to be, the Russia Army is a paper tiger.
It is sad.

Agreed. There's a reason why he only talks about militias, overthrowing the US government and kicking the shit out of members on JPP.

Yes, they are no real threat to the US Government, but he could still kill some people... If he had the guts. He does not have the skills or dedication to be a soldier, nor the guts to be a terrorist, so he just rants on JPP how he is supposedly going to get revenge on the productive people in America.

Real white supremacist terrorists, yes, but not Fat Boy. He admitted he's just all talk and only here "for fun". He's too comfy in his position in the family business to fuck himself into prison. He's just a fat, harmless blob who loves to play tough on JPP.
It is pretty obvious "Stone" just likes talking like a big man.

He's the baby of the family which means he was always the low man on the home totem pole but also had his brothers to protect him.
As an adult, all he has to do is show up at "work", flirt with his daddy's secretary and play on the computer. Now how often he posts during "working hours". LOL
He mentions that his family business has existed for "generations" and he does not do much work for it. He says he works a few hours a week half the year, and then does no work the other half. He claims to mostly do supply delivery.
I was offered a third of a business that was in my extended family. I would have had to share with two lazy sons of the current owner, and would have had to do all the work. I turned it down. I would rather make my own business. I am willing to do business with family, but not if they are unwilling to work.
I was laughably wrong in assuming it was unlikely Putin would launch a full scale invasion, but at least I understood Ukraine had substantial military capabilities that would inflict serious damage on Russia.

Yes, "generations"; his daddy's generation and now he and his older brothers. LOL
Agreed he's the gopher of the family business. Even his short stint in the Air Guard (or USAF) was his daddy's idea. He grew up under the wings of his father and brothers and he'll never leave their shadow.
My cousins were in the same boat with a home construction business started by their father and uncle. The oldest was in a position to head the family business but dropped dead of a heart attack in his mid-50s. The middle brother had left to start his own business in Ketchikan and stayed there for almost 20 years before returning. The youngest got his ass in trouble with drugs, got busted distributing and did time. He came back to be a gopher but is doing fine now.
Birth order definitely produces effects, but it's a combination of both birth order and individual personality. Stone is the slacker type; he's happy to collect his paycheck, let others do all the thinking and, as noted here, play BMOC/militia terrorist all week on JPP. He's harmless and wouldn't do anything risky to jeopardize his comforts.
I have nothing against normal slackers. It is not my lifestyle, but to each his own. Birthright slackers, like Stone, really bother me. But again, that is just me.

Nothing to be done. Like a giant catfish that lies bloated and nearly motionless at the base of a dam, he'll just open his mouth and suck in all that floats his way.
He's not a threat...unless he falls on you. LOL

I wonder whether these "food shortages" he is experiencing is just him eating all the food in his kitchen?

Spoiled man-childs will scream all sorts of silly things.
Stone is literally the reason I will never retire. I would hate to end up like him.

You won't even if you became a slacker now. You're years ahead of him in maturity and personal accountability.
You can come to a dead stop and Fat Boy will still never catch up. It's a matter of personality, integrity and fortitude. He's clearly lacking in all thread areas.
The best thing he ever did in his life was take the oath of enlistment and he's been walking all over that oath ever since he got out.
