Quoted: They can repeatedly launch rockets to an orbiting space station with great accuracy, what makes anyone think their other rockets aren’t as accurate?

Why are they importing any electricity at all. I would think that would be a national security issue for Finland.

Quoted: IIRC Hitler lost it when he came down with Parkinsons, allegedly that was the reason he invaded Russia sooner than he wanted. He was dying and he wanted to get it on. I sometimes wonder if that is why Putin has gone so far over the edge. Who knows. View Quote That's what I was wondering.... |

Quoted: Seriously. Before Elon, our astronauts were bumming a ride with the Russians. When you look at how we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, why does anyone think we can for sure win.

Quoted: Can we make anything? Yes we can, but there will be tooling up period. The difference between even 50 years ago is that weapons can be launched via subs that can target mfg facilities.

Lol, I am just some guy and I have a lathe, mill, MIG, TIG, press brake, shear, forge, and even a small smelter for casting parts with all the tooling. Basically a small fabrication and metalworking shop all just out in the pole barn. America still has a fuck ton of small shops like mine, can I build a B-2, nope, but I could produce a shitload of components for one. I am out in the middle of fuck no where Ohio. So many people are clueless as to the capacity of Americans, but they probably live in the city or suburbs and no fuck all nothing about being self sufficient. |

So serious question.
You are engaged in a conflict where all sorts of people are sanctioning you. Why would you not cut all exports? If we went to war against mexico I can't imagine providing them resources to fight me. I mean Russians are assholes but them providing power to Europe during this is baffling |

What else do they have? They're heavily reliant on foreign powers for tech, foreign workers for infrastructure, and aren't leaders in really any field except raw materials. Their side gig is getting embarrassed on TV and the internet so that's going to decline... |

Quoted: Isn’t that called leukemia with a Napoleon complex? View Quote Actually, acute leukemia can bring death within 2 months. Lower can be treated, never cured. There is also Non Hodgkins B-cell lymphoma which is in 3 grades, all curable. The worst is a high grade that requires chemo and possible bone marrow transplants and more. The low grade ~~ done with 6 - 8 weeks of infusion. Don't ask how I know. |

View Quote Because the nature of the kind of conflict we were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan was fundamentally different from how we would be fighting Russia. In the case of Iraq, we actually did make quick work of their conventional military. It was the long term COIN stuff in a region of complicated tribal and ethnic conflicts that was difficult. |
