    Reposted for emphasis. Stop saying he’s an engineer.

    I legit tear lol’d there are some excellent WW2 deeper cuts in here. I mean for nerds, we get Market Garden and Bismarck, but a Battle of Kursk reference?

    The engineers at Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics, etc RN:

    It’s not politics, it’s gas law.

    This is exactly what the Excalibur rounds are for. As in all things small arms combat: movement is life. By fixing their troops in exposed positions, it allows guided artillery munitions to focus on them. Park a TB2 up high, overlay a GPS grid…

    Elon Musk has always been a piece of shit. Angel investing in an established electric car start up and pushing out the founders, taking credit for the invention, then giving away the IP to keep the founders quiet out front should have told you.

    I guess, but I feel like Black Panther was the exception to the rule. February is the time for shitty movie dumps. But who am I to question the Machine? It’s Kevin Feige’s world, we just live in it.

    No no. Woman can’t be in the frontline military. They can’t do the requisite number of pull ups.

    I find it hard to believe they know the Fantastic Four is so shitty they are already planning a February Dump. Have they even started shooting yet?

    i know a dc dude who argues if we can square away the anti Israel part of the Iranians that we’ve been on the wrong side of that divide. That’s a big if…but still

    I’m not gonna lie, Aussie girls are always dtf. This is an alliance with everything want: money, tech, toe curling.

    This Shaggy Deep Cut, I approve.

    IDK about the Saudis. I've mentioned this before, but I don't see how the Turks allow the Russians to pass out of the Bosporus Straits if he uses a nuke. Agriculuture is a major Russian export industry, and you can't ship out of the North Sea ports for much of the year. Putin can do it, but it'll make their already bad economic situation worse. And that doesn't even take into account the possibility of NATO conventional missile attacks on O&G infrastructure.

    To me, this was the only play the Russians had. It’s utterly ineffective from a military point of view, and will likely exacerbate their already badly depleted PGM problem, but Putin’s leadership was being openly questioned. I do agree it means we will need to find the resources to improve civilian air defense. Which, to repeat the Babylon Bee article again: Loud cheering heard coming from Lockheed Martin board room.

    I was at NIST a few years ago and had lunch with a chemist who worked on the 9/11 investigation. We had a long conversation about steel. It’s a lot more fragile then you think when it’s tempering changes.

    Never a wrong time for this gif, but goddamn, Ukraine going full Bruce Campbell.

    Oh, you will make a SR-71? We will make the Mig-25!!!!!

    The 60-70s Soviets produced some truly fascinating airplanes. Not necessarily effective, but it’s sorta a “Engineers gone wild” situation. Kinda akin to the wild stuff we were doing with Piston engined planes in the 30s and 40s.

    Somebody wake up Hitby.

    One of the things the Ukrainians need to be careful with is the fall rasputitsa and their HIMARS, which are going to be more road limited with a shoot and scoot and thus vulnerable to drone strikes.

    I’m tempted to post a “lol, I ain’t reading all that,” but I did. having been to Vietnam and Cambodia, this take is correct, at least in respect to those two nations. The Chinese much, much, much prefer to buy, bribe, cajole, to invasion. They’ve basically made Cambodia a client state by very carefully investing and bribing while allowing the Cambodians to mostly manage their internally affairs. From a lobbyist perspective, they prefer to apply honey instead of vinegar. And aren’t cheap with the honey.
