Like others pointed out, it's just manufacturing consent. The stated aim on the mainland side is reunification. Anyone with two brain cells would know that bombing a place to shit and then try to run it is going to be hell. See Iraq. T

So you develop a new anti-drone measure. Opponent drones comes in, you light up your brand new anti-drone measures, opponent drone gets telemetry, beams it out before it gets blown up. Opponent repeat it enough times, develops counter-meas

Yeah no. Drives me nuts on the phone when people don't use the numbers field, so the VKB is not in the number pad mode automatically. A QWERTY vkb in numbers / symbols mode have tiny number keys compared to a number pad. If brows

I've gotten faint simply exiting an air-con'd MTR to the full heat 100% humidity at an outdoor station. It's a waste for the acclimatized locals.

It's hard to define best, as someone who watched a lot of it as a kid. For a pre-teen audience, Nausicaä of the valley of the wind, Castle in the Sky, Totoro, basically all the stuff before Princess Mononoke are great films. I see Prin

I took the "4 day" Toronto to Vancouver train around Christmas time 2019. It was eventful, they had a bad batch of wheel bearings, which got us stuck at Sudbury ON for a day. But despite that, it was a fun, low stress experience.

It wouldn't benefit the Taiwanese. It's plainly obvious that US does not want the PRC to have access to TSMC, or anything like it. And this suggestion from US military academics is most likely based on the fact that the US is not

It's not that surprising. Taiwanese commentators on both sides of their political aisles have noted that Ukraine and Russia are both exporters of food and fertilizer. According to them, both exports will be severely affected. Buyers of

A far more likely case is that after seeing the discord sown by the DOJ, the Chinese authorities would try and entice the scientists. The fact that Hu goes back to U of Tennessee to protect his reputation is a bit like battered spouse. I wo

> I'm not sure why this perspective doesn't attract more attention these days. Because this perspective dampens the prevailing narratives, that Russia is spinning pure propaganda in regards to NATO?

NATO is an alliance led by the US. US drives most of the policy, but within NATO there’s still a lip service to get consensus within. US wants Ukraine in NATO is a given, because it would make neo-containment so much easier. The question

by calyth2018 5y ago
You understand that US is the principle architect of neo-containment since the iron curtain fell, since the 90s right. So of course US would want Ukraine to join.

It's rational to do so, even if there are pressing issues within. And of course, the world's going to say any country wishing to do that is insane.

Both Russia and Ukraine at that point needed humanitarian help to stave off famine. Ukraine itself does not have the expertise to maintain the nukes, according to Sarotte's book. https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/978

Oh please, US would push back against UK's .280 British small arms cartridge[0] for NATO harmonization, despite there was already ample testing shown that the more powerful 7.62mm cartridge was nigh-uncontrollable in automatic fire. On
