  • Electronic warfare and C&C military technologies are leagues better than they were in 2002, so I’m not entirely sure that a lot of the asymmetric tactics Van Riper used would be of much use, especially in light of immense leaps in satellite imaging, radar tracking, and telecommunications technologies. The reason Riper discarded his electronic technologies was because his forces were expected to deploy antiquated Soviet C&C and radar systems, which in comparison with modern electronic warfare equipment wasn’t only a hinderance, but a liability.

    The opposing general was also incredibly stupid and Riper exploited said stupidity excellently. Especially by pressing Blue team forces up against shipping lanes which prevented the fleet’s CWIS, Sea Sparrow, and other close-in weapons defense platforms from tracking incoming ordnance as the chance of locking neutral shipping or passenger liners was high.

  • The US would inevitably request NATO assistance. Assistance the British military is unable to supply and the British public is unwilling to support.

    British intervention would be politcal suicide in a nation already on the brink of economic and military collapse.

  • LLMs are on the brink of learning how to take a 15 minute bathroom break in the middle of a shift.

  • I wonder how true the infiltrator point is in regard to the internet though, especially since 99% of "infiltrators" are most likely bots released en-masse to generate discord and chaos.

  • I highly doubt that China would strike Japan directly, especially before securing Taiwan. Any Chinese offensive would instantly reignite the Korean War and draw Taiwan into the fray, while irrevocable destroying any goodwill China maintains with the Philippines, Vietnam, and India, among others.

    The campaign would also be a bloodbath as a result of the PLA being forced to rely on supply lines stretched across the East China Sea, with Chinese troops being limited to any gains made during initial amphibious landings, which themselves are a costly endeavor. While the JGSDF pales in comparison to the PLA, the home turf advantage, ability to funnel Chinese forces into narrow fronts, and high probability of major cities turning into quagmires, would make the entire operation hellish for the PLA and Chinese morale.

    Instead of a cry for open conflict, China’s comments are probably more of a warning to Japan to not interfere with a Taiwanese offensive, since Japanese bases, airfields, and ports are the lynchpin of any potential American involvement or defensive strategy.

  • Uh huh, sure. Got anything other than patronizing quips?

  • Burgesa?

    Guess the burger translation is universal

  • Bourger washy Zee

  • They’re still on timeout for what they did in the 70s

  • Hitler’s art fucking sucked ass.

    Both his writing and his painting. Reading Mien Kampf is easily among one of the most excruciatingly painful reading experiences I’ve encountered over the course of my life, and I have nothing to say about that book other than that it’s incoherent garbage.

    Hitler’s paintings are also awful and show a complete disregard and misunderstanding of basic art principles and compositional cohesion. His work is incredibly amateurish at best.

    Also his artwork wasn’t how he showed his vision to anyone? Unless you meant his writing. His paintings are just castles and random still life pieces.

  • Thank you for the correction!

    I mixed up the MSR design with the other contemporary Chinese breeder design that uses light water.

    I love infinite energy

  • Yeah… do you know what other things are spherical and hover? Helicopters, commercial drones, weather drones, weather balloons, and hobby drones….

    Did the people who saw these drones take any videos or pictures? Because the only evidence that ever surfaced all turned out to be passenger airliners, hobby drones, and small Cessnas. It’s especially funny when the photos or videos show the craft blinking red and green navigation lights, and the thought that aliens or hostile craft would abide by FAA regulations is pretty funny.

    I’d be happy to be proven wrong if you’d have other evidence.

  • There is no amount of many drugs that is healthy, safe, or acceptable.

    Cigarettes, meth, heroin, benzos, cocaine, and even heavy liqour among many other drugs, have immediate deleterious effects on the mind and body that can cause issues that persist for months if not permanently.

    That’s also not taking into consideration that the body’s homeostasis is not static, which is the entire mechanism through which addiction functions.

  • Those sightings were dismissed as people misidentifying small manned aircraft and falling for mass hysteria. The US government denied that any anomalous activity was taking place, and I can't think of any reason that they'd orchestrate a bunch of sightings only to deny everything.

    At least the European sights are functioning as war propaganda against Russia, and if the US really wanted to, they could have claimed that the drones were Chinese or some other insane explanation.

  • No part of the actual radioactive material is liquid, as thorium reactors are light-water reactors that use standard water as a neutrino moderator and coolant.

    If a thorium equipped cargo ship were to sink, all the nuclear material onboard would be contained within the ship. Further, with the immense water pressure present in the deep sea, said pressure would contain any nuclear material and prevent its spread. A benefit that cannot be extended to oil based ships seeing as how oil floats on water, and is incredibly flammable.

  • Counterpoint:

    Even if tobacco was perfectly healthy, tobacco smoke smells utterly rancid, colours everything a sickly shade of yellow, ruins clothes, ruins cars and buses, and is by nature incredibly addictive.

  • Nicotine is expressly a stimulant that increases focus and induces a calm state by flooding the brain with dopamine.

    That’s what makes nicotine addicting, no one would want to smoke again after their first time if the sensation wasn’t pleasurable.

  • You truly are the pinnacle that every western leftist should aspire to

  • This is an incredible achievement, but I can’t get over the fact that the headline and station name make it sound like China going to kill their youngest astronaut.
