  • The problem is back when we used to sack the castle if the king let us down there were only guards with hand weapons, maybe some cross bows in the way. You could overwhelm them with numbers pretty easily.

    And the castle was just up on the hill you all lived around.

    Now with the weaponry that is available (especially to the us govenment) the ability to defend against untrained and under armed civilians massive. And the castle may well be across the country. And that slimy fuck will be over in Argentina with a $40 billion tab courtesy of the US people.

    I’m really worried that trump will face zero consequences for his actions. It’s not like he ever really has before.





  • I think for many people getting a tattoo is a huge deal and we would never allow our skin to be marked without out a lot of forethought.

    But I think there is a good chunk of the population that doesn’t think about it and don’t see it as a big deal. I think a lot of these people are concentrated in the military, the lack of forethought is increased when you are in a job that may well see you killed soon.

    I’d like to see him reaching out to new and old military members to educate them on the meaning he apparently didn’t know about and pushing them to remove it.

    Someone with some art skills should come up with a suitably cool modification tattoo that neutralises the nazi aspect and but still lets these guys support and identify with battle mates.

    It’s not their fault the nazis happens co opt heaps of cool symbols and I don’t blame some 22 year old jar head for not knowing history (they should but the US education system has a lot to answer for).

    If you give people an easy way out that lets them save face you’ll only be left with the actual racists.








  • You are correct, I mistyped, I was referring to hypersonics.

    It should be noted that the Russian kinzal missile is not a true hypersonic, the term hypersonic implies certain technologies beyond just speed and is in fact launched from a plane. It only has a range of 500km and follows a ballistic trajectory (an arc) after launch which makes it easier to track than a missile that uses hypersonic gliding (accelerating in spurts at the edge of orbit to ride earth’s gravity and change its reentry point.)

    Depending on the source true hypersonics are either not worth spending any more money developing or impossible to defend against. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I personally believe the latter or they would be going on and on about how good their systems are instead of crowing about shooting down one sub standard system from Russia

    I still think excessive nukes are a waste of money. If America trusted its allies it would allow its allies to have a few nukes as well, if everyone had a couple then even if Russia took out all of Americas then it’s allies would just push the button. The threat of mutually assured destruction still remains to keep everyone smiling politely.
