    Russia(gate/bot) Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

    7nm may not be the current cutting edge but neither is it 30 years behind (in reference to your earlier post). It's definitely enough to be useful in the event of global supply disruption. And on the topic of quantity, if we're producing half of what we currently need why should we believe it's...

    Russia(gate/bot) Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

    1. If you're worried about that you don't post a selfie. 2. Hey, I'm just answering the objection that was levied against the supposed "Nevada" location. It sounded like the poster took that claim at face value. Is there a different place where the account claims to be American?

    Armchair General's DonbAss Derailed Discussion Thread (Topics Include History, Traps, and the Ongoing Slavic Civil War plus much much more)

    There are many countries up to and including the USA that are using Cold War relics. The issue is that Russia is reliant on early Cold War relics. There are few cases of anyone else doing this, and those exceptions generally speak for themselves (B-52). The difference, of course, is doing it...

    Israel 🇮🇱 State of Israel Thread

    Do you honestly expect people to believe that the American government is less considerate of the lives of its citizens than the Russian one? As for this 50% of the population having bunkers thing, do you have any source at all? I'd suspect that if there's any basis at all for it they're being...

    Russia(gate/bot) Russia-Ukraine War Politics Thread Mk. 2

    Interesting combination of allegedly real photo and obviously fake voice. Also, the extremely serious self-reported location of Area 51, Nevada, which we were clearly supposed to take at face value instead of taking as an obvious joke.

    Immigration and multiculturalism news

    This may be a classic case of the disconnect between "the economy is doing well" and "the people are doing well". Some try to solve the problem by saying that an economy that doesn't help the people is by definition not doing well, but in that case it's probably better to go straight to the...

    @Agent23 your signature indicates that "This time it's different" is very expensive. Is that why everything you post is always the same?

    Israel 🇮🇱 State of Israel Thread

    The Intercept: "Gone are the days of vast conquering armies and conventional military confrontations between two parties." Holy shit, what decade do they think we're in? It may be true that not every conflict is like that, but it's sure as hell false that no conflicts are like that.

    The phrase "oft evil does evil mar" comes to mind; Bentley may have been too bonkers to fairly call evil himself, but he was certainly serving evil. Either way, I have a feeling that evil will mar the guys who deprived Russia of such a lovely patsy pretty soon.

    Israel 🇮🇱 State of Israel Thread

    Hasn't Israel been actively (and kinetically) suppressing Iran's quest for the exact same nukes that everyone knows Israel already has? Saying there's no reason for beef there is pretty wild.

    Israel 🇮🇱 State of Israel Thread

    Is it normal though? There's a big difference between "normal" and "not unprecedented".

    United States US presidential election 2024

    I looked into this a bit. The total for Texas is close to 24 million. That's obviously absurd for new voters, but I found information that says that, rather than tracking registration, HAVV is a service that state DMVs throw their info at to see if the SSA can verify it as a person. That would...

    United States 🇺🇸 US House of Representatives Discussion Thread!

    An all-in strategy of only being in for a single term would let him ignore the usual focus on fundraising (for reelection). On the other hand, part of that fundraising is for the party in general so he might make too many enemies that way. If not, then one could theoretically alternate being in...

    Is the presidential election campaign a total war? :unsure:

    United States US presidential election 2024

    I'm not saying civilians would die the moment you took the gun out of their hand, I'm saying that "gun and ammo factories" are not exclusively military targets if oil refineries aren't, because they are both dual purpose. I'll give you the tank factories, though that still raises the question of...

    Civilians use guns and ammo, haven't you heard? I have it on good authority that they like jeeps too.

    United States US presidential election 2024

    What the fuck are you talking about. Everyone in the west tells Russia to stop, all the time. It doesn't matter because Russia doesn't care: it isn't getting its war material from the west.

    Hamas Launches Offensive Against Southern Israel

    You don't seem to be considering that the current level of pushback isn't the maximum level. For example, the new proposed sale of F-35s has yet to be canceled, whereas if Israel openly admitted to following a mass starvation strategy they'd be dust in the wind and the conversation would be...

    United States 🇺🇸 US House of Representatives Discussion Thread!

    I'm none too familiar with the case in question. But yeah obviously. If your representative votes a way you didn't expect them to on an issue that's important to you then you either accept that they know better than you or you start arranging consequences.
