Afghanistan doesn’t quite compare, for example a carrier group poses no threat whatsoever to Afghanistan because there is no infrastructure to destroy. In contrast one or two US carrier groups could not only offer a ridiculous level of defense, but also a fast moving and aggressive offense that would pose enough of a threat such that it wouldn’t need to be used. At least one can hope. Interesting and scary times tbh. Given the rapid change in situation in Hong Kong, though, I’m not expecting much.

- codezero 5y agoOh I’m not at all sure and the prospect of testing these technologies is terrifying! Random: did you ever fuck around with PBXs in the early 90s?
