The Black Sea is a de facto big lake, any big navy would have the same problems as the Russians now have against drones and land-based missiles. In a way the Americans are now experiencing the same problems in the Red Sea, hence why USS Eis

Why isn’t he in prison? I mean, going by the West’s own laws, or the spirit of them, anyway. Unless he is part of said West’s Armed Forces, in which case this would get really close to a casus belli .

Because I tend to ignore moralizing takes coming from pro-genocide people, hence me mentioning Frum in connection with Israel.

by paganel 2y ago
Coming from a very pro-Israel guy like Frum that looks more like endorsement for Malaysia having done the right thing. Also, it is high time for the US Coastal Elites to realise that they're losing the game, and they're losing the

Slightly related, has anyone managed to get some “joy of programming” (for lack of a better word) back after starting to learn a new (human) language? I’m asking because I used to get that in the past (let’s say 10 to 15 years ago) by becom

And who’s going to decide that those things you mentioned at the end are good or bad? If not (elected) leaders, that is. Take the exemple of the most famous democracy, the US, its current dominance was built on a few wars (the Civil War, to

As one gets older the LinkeIn unsolicited messages become rarer and rarer, I know I saw a decrease after I passed the age of 35 and most certainly after I passed 40 years of age.

I wouldn’t cite ISW for anything serious regarding this war. Yes, I am pro-Russia when it comes to this war, but at the same time I respect opinions “from the other side” which are not complete bollocks. ISW is not doing that, unfortunately

This title is so silly. Looked at it through the "climate change" lense it means that the late 1700s - early 1800s English industrialists should have just called it quits when it came to make use of abundant English coal, all in t

No, I don’t, which makes it even more interesting. I know though that ItaloDisco is now Nazi music, via the same Western media from the last few days.

They’ve (the Americans) have been losing it for 7 or 8 years or so, if news about the Houthis being able to have hit USS Eisenhower turns out to be true (which would be a first hit on an US carrier since 1945) then things would be even more

What type of question is that? If you’re so curious, yes, on top of being pro/Russia I’m also a Mets fan. LGFM! How does knowing more about me help bring this conversation forward? Should I in turn ask about your favorite MLB team?

You’re correct, these elections are pretty important, as we can vote for the parties/people that would bring this thing called the EU a little bit closer to disintegration, i.e. vote for the Nigel Farages of your countries. At this poi

In many places QR codes have partially replaced servers as you're now "directed" to pay via a link supplied via said QR code, a job that used to be carried out by said servers until not that long ago.

I thought this forum still wanted to be on the serious side, so under that view look at the works of George T. Renner, in particular his World Map for the Air Age , published in 1942-1943. [1] [2] As air-power started to be taken seriously
