Are these really inconveniences? Most of the times I've had trouble paying for stuff were usually at supermarkets or gas stations where the credit card reader would refuse to acknowledge my card. Swiping/inserting/touching, n

Uhh, sorry I thought inductive roads were a dumb idea and I couldn't resist. But still I expected sarcasm to be obvious.

Maybe the first words will be: "I heard you in the water, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

I was merely pointing out that Patriot systems are not 100% accurate as OP had said. Nothing specifically about the recent events in Ukr.

by Animatronio 3y ago
Yes, so I've read but still the Patriot they lost to a Houthi drone strike was recently bought from Greece, so I think it was fairly new and well maintained.

>There's at least photos of an apparently-downed Khinzal. There are no photos yet of a destroyed Patriot. That doesn't prove anything, obviously the Ukr govt would supress all pics of damaged/destroyed Patriot systems whi

So you're saying that artillery became more dominant and yet the Russians don't use it in Bakhmut? But then who does?

Kinzhal's operational range is presumably 2000 km (carrier+missile), while AAMRAM's is 160km max and SM-3's is 1200 km so not really effective.

Yet they're not that much better. Per Wikipedia (I have edited out successful intercepts!): Syrian civil war (2014–) {...} In July 2016, two Israeli Patriot missiles missed an incoming drone launched from Syria, according to Russian me

In fact hypersonic missiles are pretty common. Every rocket that leaves Earth’s orbit is ‘hypersonic’. There is nothing inherently special about being ‘hypersonic’ in general. In space everything achieves hypersonic speed quite easily(ICBM’

The Patriot has a very high failure rate and isn't all it's cracked up to be. https://veteransbreakfastclub.org/scuds-vs-patriots-desert-s... https://www.gao.gov/products/t-nsiad-92-27

Sorry to hear that. It must have been terrible for him. My dad died because of PC about 8 years ago. It was just a bit over a month from the first scan to death. Makes me cry just remembering how awful those days were (for him, and for our

Yes, but suppose there's a "road company" you'd have to pay a toll to. Obviously they love profit margins and since they're a monopoly (they own the road) the toll would soon balloon to $20 then $35 then $100.

Well, Ukr really wants foreign soldiers on the front line. Please tell me you're already there, or else I might suspect you're rooting for Putin!

Yes, people who don't think like you do are horrible human beings.

The US has plenty of useful idiots in positions of power in the EU, yes. They knew precisely what sanctions meant for the populace but went ahead anyway. As to the military I'd like to refer you to this: https://www.politico

If EU's safety is its problem then why are we not allowed to take an independent stance in any matter? As to the cheap resources, I'm sorry we didn't invade Iraq, Libia, Syria to get oil for pennies. The EU bought at market p

Nobody has to suffer, it's just that the sanctions don't work as intended and need to be lifted. Find other ways to help Ukr, don't f*k EU over.

by Animatronio 3y ago
Well, since EU is most definitely NOT safe from Russia I'd say you either don't pay enough or the money's squandered on something else.

Why would "the world" have any moral obligations? And why would the citizens of EU&UK have to suffer more than say those of US, AU, NZ, SK and so on?

Yes, a selfish take from some IT guy making significantly more $$ than the average Brit or EU citizen. It's nice to be insulated from the rising COL bc you can lecture others from the safety of your home.

Yes, but the police are working hard to prevent it.
