  2. Pretty amazing how the US military has been using AR-15 pattern rifles for 57 years, all because Curtis LeMay shot a watermelon.

  3. Modern people: "How did the ancient Native Americans deal with these giant animals?" Ancient Native Americans: "By killing them, obviously."

  4. Unfortunately, those would be illegal to own since they're not registered. Plus, decades of salt water exposure probably wasn't good for the guns.

  5. Before Jurassic Park 3, T. rex vs Triceratops was the classic dinosaur rivalry.

  6. One thing to remember, though, is that just because something is a myth doesn't mean soldiers won't believe the myth. The Bren's seriously inflated reputation for accuracy was something widely believed by soldiers.

  8. When you said "Tokarev/High Power hybrid", I was hoping for a 13-round double stack magazine.

  9. You're being too generous to Plan Z by comparing it to the High Seas Fleet. The HSF consisted of ships that were comparable or in some cases superior to their closest Royal Navy counterparts. That's not really the case for Plan Z.
    286
  10. Probably because the US was more focused in rigging the tests so that they could have an excuse to not adopt a foreign rifle, than they were in actually doing proper development of the M14.

  14. How did giant sloths make it to North America? Very slowly.

  15. If you don't give a shit about environmental damage, I suppose that makes sense for disposing of explosives and such. But metal has scrap value, so if LA was so desperate to eliminate those guns without letting civilians own them, it's odd they didn't melt the things down.
    228
  16. Such a pity that HMS Vanguard was scrapped. Imagine if she'd been permanently moored at Portsmouth as well, so that the first and the last of Britain's armored warships would be side by side.

  25.  @greybeard5774  "Buried elsewhere" doesn't necessarily need to be all that far away from the bunker. Just somewhere better-hidden than where the decoy bodies were found. With said decoy bodies' purpose being to simply get the Soviets to stop looking. Once you've already found what you're looking for, the search ends.
    151
  26. 6:13 I would say that the Lexington-class battlecruisers being cancelled by the Washington Naval Treaty was very much a win for the US Navy. As I've mentioned before, the Navy dodged a real bullet by not getting these ships as designed. The most amazing thing, though, is the sheer idiocy of refusing to build them as fast battleships because it would make the Standard Types obsolete. This would be like if in 1903, Germany was given the blueprints to HMS Dreadnought and her steam turbine engines, and said "Nah fam, we'll just keep building pre-dreadnoughts with triple expansion engines." Hell, even without the existence of HMS Hood, a good case could be made that Queen Elizabeth and Nagato rendered the Standard Types obsolete.
    145
  27. Those US Army trials were rigged in favor of what would become the M14, so even if that burst barrel hadn't happened they would've found another reason to reject it.
    144
  28. 6:30 The problem is that Russia is financially incapable of not waging another war soon. Their economy is such a disaster that they'll see plunder of other nations as the only possible way forward.

  29. 5:18 So 20 years later, they finally adopted (basically) the rifle that won the original competition.

  30. Wilhelm II was often criticized for micromanaging the Imperial German Navy, but at times he really did have the right ideas. Keeping the Seydlitz well-armored even if it was at the expense of gun size was one of those times.

  32. One thing you didn't address is the 1918 Spanish flu. Seeing as it's generally believed to have originated in Kansas and been brought to Europe by American soldiers, Europe might have gone untouched by it in this timeline.

  33. Apparently, Timmy overlooked the fact that Captain America is "woke". The first movie has him assembling a team to fight Nazis in WW2 that includes a woman, a black man, and an Asian man. The second has him teaming up with a black man to fight Nazis who have secretly taken over the US government. The third has him leading a rebellion against authoritarianism in the government. And just wait until he sees how "woke" Cap is in the comics.
    120
  34. Clearly, they should've left the Bostons and Venturas at home and carried out the raid with Mosquitos alone. The slower bombers were little more than live bait.

  35. Trump's hands being covered in blood is the least surprising thing ever.
    106
  36.  @heikohonikel4462  The first full-length version of Journey to the West was published in 1592. While it has a basis in older folk tales (much like how the likes of Robin Hood and King Arthur had their stories circulating in Britain long before anybody put them to paper), it's definitely not 4000 years old because Tripitaka was a real person. His real name was Chen Hui, though he's better known by his alias Xuanzang (the translation of "Tripitaka" into Chinese), and his journey to India was lasted from 629 to 645.
    104
  37.  @whitewidowgaming4887  Musk never did that either. Paying people to invent things doesn't make him a genius.
    103
  38. "Trumpism" isn't really a thing in terms of a coherent ideology. It's just the worship of Donald Trump as a cult leader. Trumpists hold whatever believes Trump tells them to, even if it's the opposite of what he told them to believe yesterday.
    99
  39. Honestly, they should've just kept developing the EM-2 the whole time. Though really, all of this can be traced back to Douglas MacArthur's penny-pinching in 1932, when he insisted that the M1 Garand fire .30-06 instead of .276 Pedersen because lots of ammo was already stockpiled (by which logic no army should change rifle calibers, ever). If not for that then NATO standard caliber would've become a 7mm, either the .280 British or an American cartridge with roughly the same ballistics. And to this day we'd probably see the British Army using an EM-2 variant, most of the rest of NATO using the FAL, and the US Army using a 7mm AR-10 variant.
    96
  40. Kiona Moeru Kaze Unfortunately, yes they do care. My father was deployed in Iraq the year before he retired from the Army National Guard. He would've brought back some guns if he'd been allowed to. And one of the other men in his unit got busted down to private after getting caught trying to sneak a pistol back home. Bayonets and helmets are still allowed for war trophies, but guns aren't.
    96
  41. About that similarity to the Kel-Tec. Combined with the fact that a .25 ACP version of the PSM was rejected for import? That just goes to show the real purpose of the import rules of the 1968 Gun Control Act was just to protect domestic gun-makers from foreign competition. Probably that's why the American gun industry didn't lobby against the law at the time it was passed.
    95
  42. It's a gun that you have to punch somebody with to shoot them. Could it be any less practical? I want one!

  43. The fact that Fox tries to present notorious talk radio lunatic Mark Levin as if he's their "super serious" host is yet another thing that's completely laughable about their network.
    92
  44. Navarro needs to be reminded that former Presidents don't have executive privilege.
    88
  45. Yep, FN is a major supplier of the M4 and IIRC the only company that still makes the rifle-length M16 for military contracts. FN is such a major supplier of the US military that they opened up a factor in South Carolina to handle the orders. But back in the 50s it was completely unacceptable to buy from them, just because.
    85
  46. Bharat has been India's indigenous name for thousands of years. While the name "India" comes from ancient Greek and Latin. If they officially request that other countries start referring to them by the indigenous name rather than the colonial name, that would be perfectly reason. I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long. It was way back in 1935, for example, that Iran formally requested that the rest of the world stop calling them Persia (also a name of Greek origin). And basically everybody responded with "okay, that's fair" and started calling them Iran.

  48. And Malzberg pretends to be unaware that Finkelstein could've easily responded to that with "I'm Jewish, you putz."
    78
  49. The biggest reason that Moldova is likely to cease to exist isn't Transnistria separatists. It's eventual reunification with Romania. Moldova is an artificial nation created by Stalin to steal some of Romania's territory, after all. Half of the historical Moldavia is still in Romania, while the other half was stolen by the USSR and a propaganda out of Moscow declared that there was a separate Moldovan national identity and Moldovan language (even though the later is literally identical to Romanian, except that during the Soviet era it used the Cyrillic alphabet).
    78
  50. Scotland needs to stop asking England for permission and just hold a new independence referendum on their own.
    76
  51. It's taken them years to get this done.
    76
  52. Honestly the UK should've brought back out the EM-2 and 7x43mm round when the new round of NATO standardization trials came around instead of developing the SA80 in (originally) 4.85x49mm. Just said "these were the ideal rifle and cartridge in 1951, and they still are the ideal rifle and cartridge in 1977." Granted, the US still would've forced everybody to adopt the American round, but still.
    75
  53. Another suggestion I've seen is that the "Saints" would've been the names assigned to the N3 battleships, and that the G3 battlecruisers would've been named Invincible, Inflexible, Indomitable, and Indefatigable. At any rate, if the Washington Naval Treaty had never happened, I strongly suspect that the G3 and N3 designs would've been been revised before construction to place the third turret forward of the bridge, as was actually done with the Nelson-class. That all-forward layout was universal to the different designs considered for the Nelsons, both the O3 design that was actually adopted and the F2 and F3 treaty-compliant battlecruisers (with 3x2 or 3x3 15" guns) that were considered. Incidentally, I consider the F3 to be something of a masterpiece of capital ship design. On a displacement of only 35000 tons it would've had armor close to that of the much later 45000 ton Iowa-class battleships, and a design speed of 29 knots. And given the broad similarities to the Nelsons, I'm fairly confident it would've exceeded that design speed. Even with engines in need of an overhaul, Rodney was able to make 25 knots (design speed was only 23) in the rush to intercept Bismarck.

  54. This channel has some of the best euphemisms for piracy. This one might've been even better than "involuntary treasure reallocation".
    71
  55. With regard to BSW being a more ideologically "Nazi" company than the likes of Mauser and Walther...that's because it was seized from its original Jewish owners (the Simson family) and handed over to Nazi loyalists.
    70
  56. Now imagine if USS Pennsylvania had been razeed to create the most hilarious "frigate" in the history of the age of sail.

  57. Given that China's state-owned oil company has a 25% stake in the consortium that's extracting the the Guyanese oil, even Venezuela's own usual allies would oppose them in this.
    69
  58.  @openmoviearchives7381  DC has over 200 years of unique history separate from Maryland. And has a larger economy than most states. It's also unconstitutional to alter a state's borders without approval of that state's legislature, and Maryland flatly rejects being "given" DC. Presumably because if DC were returned ot Maryland, that city with 200 years of separate history from Maryland would become the largest part of Maryland (displacing Baltimore as the largest city). You're going to be hard-pressed to convince any state that they should absorb a city where none of the residents have any ties to the state nor want to have any ties to the state, yet those same residents would instantly become the dominant political faction within the state due to their sheer numbers. It would be like if the "compromise" to give Puerto Ricans representation in Congress without making PR a state was offered, of instead attaching PR to Florida. Florida would never go for that either.
    66
  59. agurjaunak Ultimately, I blame MacArthur. If not for his penny-pinching refusal to accept the .276 caliber Garand because there were already so many .30-06 rounds in inventory, the US Army would've already been using a 7mm. Which would've made it pretty much impossible to object to the .280 British round on the basis of its caliber.
    65
  60. It's amazing how such ridiculously broad patents sometimes get granted.
    64
  61. The USS Texas workers are doing everything they can, but I have zero confidence in the state of Texas to actually follow through with enough money to build the dry berth and move her into it.
    63
  62.  @dboyzer1  Crimea was most certainly not "always" part of Russia. Crimea was first conquered by Russia in 1783. Meaning that Crimea was part of Russia for 171 years. Given that Russia has existed for 477 years (or 761 years if you count the Principality of Moscow that preceded it), it's downright absurd to claim that Crimea was always part of Russia. And Ukraine was never going to "give" Crimea to anyone.
    62
  63.  @dboyzer1  Completely wrong, Dmitri. It's Russia and only Russia that violated the Budapest Memorandum. Minsk 1&2 were illegitimate "agreements" that Russia imposed at gunpoint on Ukraine. And there never was an "Istanbul Agreement".
    61
  64. Meanwhile, many resistance groups made their own Sten copies. And in 1945, Germany started making their own Sten clone to arm the Volksturm.
    61
  65.  @dboyzer1  And by "do the right thing" you mean "submit to domination by Russia". It's Russia that refused to abide by any of the agreements they've signed.
    60
  66. The monitor USS Miantonomoh (with a freeboard of a mere 31 inches) had just sailed to England the year before HMS Captain was laid down, and Coles had been given a tour of the ship. That probably gave him undue confidence in the ability of low-freeboard ships to sail the Atlantic. Though he (perhaps willfully) ignored the fact that Miantonomoh was mastless, and thus did not fatally combine that low freeboard with a high center of gravity, like Captain would do.
    60
  67. Russia has always felt like it's entitled to dominate all their neighbors. It's what their culture is all about.

  68. In case anybody was wondering, the longest-serving of the Fletcher-class was ARM Cuitláhuac (ex-USS John Rodgers, DD-574), which remained in service with the Mexican Navy until 2001.

    57
  70. Amazingly enough, it was one man (Colonel Rene Studler) who pretty much singlehandedly ensured that the US would not accept any cartridge that wasn't .30 caliber. And then within a decade was also responsible for going to the opposite extreme and having the US adopt a .22 caliber assault rifle.
    56
  71.  @dboyzer1  Which was a direct result of Russia invading Ukraine and annexing 10% of their territory. You're (deliberately) reversing the cause and effect here.

  75.  @empirednw6624  He wasn't German, he was Austrian. Germany wasn't his country.
    55
  76. I've always had a low opinion of Rene Studler on account of his stubborn insistence that NATO's standard rifle round had to be the rather pointless 7.62x51 (seriously, why not stick with the .30-06 if you have to have a full-power .30 caliber) and his knee-jerk dismissal of the more practical 7mm round that Britain was offering.
    54
  77. And of course, Smoothbrain Rogan claims that because the call to prayer i being allowed to happen, that somehow equates to the government being the ones actually doing the call to prayer.

  78. Yep, it looks like the original so long as you don't have an original F/A-18 nearby to compare. Or an F-15 Eagle nearby to see that the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is actually bigger. Fortunately F-15 Eagles aren't common sights on aircraft carriers.

  87.  @Eidolon1andOnly  The fact that Dief the Thief simultaneously considered the Arrow to be rendered obsolete by ground-based missiles and yet also so advanced that the Soviets had to be stopped from copying it at all costs just shows how full of shit he was.

  88. The F-16/79, a fighter that's not totally forgotten, but probably deserves to be.
    49
  89.  @dboyzer1  Ukraine was neutral in 2014. How did that work out for them? Neutrality can't work when you're bordered by an expansionist empire, and your border consists of wide open plains that said empire can easily storm across at any time. In that case, "neutrality" simply means that nobody will come to your aid when the empire invades you.

  92. There's nothing to say that law has to remain in place. It's a really stupid law, too. It should be repealed, and the size of the House of Representatives significantly increased.

  93.  @tombogan03884  Please, what a bunch of bullshit. Why exactly do you think the Republican Party went from being based in the Northeast and nonexistent in the South to barely existing in the Northeast and dominant in the South, while the Democratic Party made the exact opposite transition?
    46
  94.  @TofuTheTrashFox  The M14, the rifle that only even existed because Springfield Armory both made the rifle and was in charge of the testing to select it. And then they told Congress that they could save money by reusing all the M1 Garand tooling to make the M14, which they actually couldn't do at all.
    46
  95. Well by Trump standards, this means Smollet was "TOTALLY EXONERATED!" That's how it works, right?
    45
  96.  @mattl3729  He really did believe it. That the vast majority of the Soviet population (including the military) believed the same thing he did and were simply afraid to speak up.
    45
  97. Just remember, the last time Democrats tried to negotiate a "path to citizenship", it required them to work for 13 years before citizenship would be available. By comparison, indentured servitude (ie temporary slavery in the American colonies) only lasted 7 years before they were freed and became citizens. But even that wasn't cruel enough for Republicans to agree to.
    45
  98. The Fate franchise has actually done a lot to at least make people aware that Celtic mythology exists. Though I remain disappointed that none of the many version of Cu Chulainn in the franchise actually have the warp spasm. Not even the Berserker version in Fate/Grand Order.
    45
  99. I'm pretty sure the legal issue for Switzerland wasn't specifically that it was Israel, but that Israel was fighting a war. Swiss law to this day forbids selling weapons to combatant nations. Nicaragua wasn't fighting any wars in 1949, so it was legal to sell them rifles. And as for scrubbing the markings? I would imagine that's not so much out of any silly attempt to hide that it's a Swiss rifle, but so that it'd be harder to identify who smuggled the rifle.
    45
  100. Regarding Imperator Nikolai I as an aircraft carrier conversion, there was consideration in 1924 of converting both the incomplete battlecruiser Izmail and the damaged Gangut-class Frunze (ex-Poltava). Izmail would be very obviously the most suitable of these hulls, Nikolai is roughly the same size as Frunze (though considerably heavier given the thicker armor) and thus would've been similarly workable for a conversion. Apparently, the reason she wasn't considered for the purpose is that she'd been neglected for several years and was even more dilapidated than the fire-ravaged Frunze. Though as a Gangut, Frunze would probably be a better choice on account of being a couple of knots faster even before you consider the benefits of removing the heavy armor and possibly installing newer machinery. Bottom line, Nikolai could've been used as the basis for a solid 1st-generation aircraft carrier, but the Red Navy had better prospects they could've used.
    44
  101. The closest thing to a "failed sea trials" I can think of is the German frigate Baden-Württemberg in 2017. For the first time in German naval history, an allegedly-completed warship was deemed completely unfit for service and sent back to be rebuilt.

  106. With regard to the use of the term "frigate" in the modern era, there was also that brief period post-WW2 where the US Navy used frigate (with DL or DLG hull numbers) to mean a ship intermediate between a destroyer and a cruiser. Then there was a freak-out in Congress over the Soviets supposedly having more cruisers than the US, so the Navy "solved" that "problem" in 1975 by redesignating most of the frigates as cruisers. At the same time, destroyer escorts became frigates, which brought them in line with how the rest of NATO classified such ships. Incidentally, some of the Soviet "raketny kreyser" (missile cruisers) were actually smaller than American DLGs. It was literally just that they were called cruisers that resulted in the "cruiser gap" nonsense.

  107. Send as "reinforcements" the Baltic Fleet ships that Rozhestvensky had rejected as hopelessly obsolete. But not the (IIRC) 7 battleships of the Black Sea Fleet. And there lies the problem with having one of your fleets bottled up in an inland sea whose straits you don't control.

  108.  @johnabuick  In other words, the blame should fall on Halsey.
    39
  109.  @gokbay3057  Those two lack any of the excuses, though. The USA was richer than it's ever been in the 1950s, so it's not like we couldn't have afforded to preserve Enterprise. She also wasn't nearly as beaten up as Warspite, since her battle damage had already been repaired (rather than merely patched over). And apparently there'd been a plan to hand her over to New York in 1949 that was cancelled for, apparently no particular reason. And similarly, West Germany was flush with cash when Turkey offered to sell Yavuz back to them in 1963. As the last battlecruiser and the only representative of the High Seas Fleet left, such a historically important relic should've been preserved.

  110. The situation in Greece shows that Venizelos made two key mistakes: 1. Never allow your figurehead king to be near monkeys. 2. When you depose a king, kill him. Otherwise he'll come back for his throne.

  112. I'm pretty sure the reason why these revolvers (and other Japanese military pistols) aren't stamped with the chrysanthemum is that they were (as was typical in the Western militaries that Japan was copying) the personal property of an officer, who had to pay with his own money for a handgun. Whereas rifles were the Emperor's property, and issued temporarily to his soldiers, and thus stamped with his chrysanthemum. While those postal service S&W No.2 revolvers were the Emperor's property, and thus carried his chrysanthemum.

  116. The grip looks a little awkward from my perspective, but I guess the average Chinese soldier in the 1910s would've had a good bit smaller hands than I do. Imagine if General Liu hadn't died prematurely, and the Japanese had run into troops equipped with these when they invaded China.

I presume it wasn't just for quick bucks that she was scrapped (since scrapping a warship nets the navy pretty minimal money, as drach mentioned in a recent Drydock), but that restoring her to any condition to be a museum ship would've been an expensive prospect for a nation that was bankrupted by the war.

More shots fired means greater chances of a hit. Had there been more thorough gunnery training before the war, instead of foolish captains prioritizing how pretty their ships looked over combat effectiveness, it's unlikely that anyone would've even thought of opening the blast doors. Also, before Britain actually entered WW1 but after everyone could tell it was increasingly likely they'd get drawn in, Fisher advocated that the Royal Navy should launch a preemptive strike on the German fleet while it was still in port at Kiel, citing the example of Royal Navy having done the same thing in 1807 to the Danish fleet at Copenhagen.

  163. ​ @unluckyirish2763  Warspite would've been one of the hardest to save, because at the time she was scrapped Britain's economy was a disaster. And she was seriously beat up, so who knows how expensive a restoration would've been. Vanguard was the best opportunity because she lasted the longest, into the period when Britain was once again a wealthy nation. Though the best chance of a British age of steel capital ship being saved would've been if everything had gone just right for Hood. The time of the battle is a little different so that Hood and Prince of Wales can link up with Norfolk and Suffolk, so the former can double-team Bismarck and the latter deal with Prinz Eugen. Hood doesn't blow up, and gets most of the credit in the press for sinking Bismarck. Or maybe it's just the same scenario as IRL but the luck is reversed and a shot from Hood at long range lands just right to plunge through Bismarck's deck and detonate the magazine (that being the only way a 15" shell could plausibly reach Bismarck's magazines). Her repair and refit gets finished in time for her rather than Duke of York to sink Scharnhorst in the Battle of the North Cape. She gets assigned as new flagship of the Pacific Fleet and does some shore bombardment, then leads the Royal Navy contingent into Tokyo Bay for the surrender. Now Hood is even more legendary than she was going into WW2 (sinking two much more modern battleships), and she and Vanguard make for a pretty good post-war squadron since they have the same main armament and similar speed. Meaning she might last to 1960 when Britain isn't desperately strapped for cash anymore. (With the KGVs being scrapped a little bit earlier than IRL.) At that point, maybe she'd have a chance of being preserved.

Unlike with past epidemics or even the seasonal flu, the CDC has yet to make any estimate of the total COVID deaths. The number verified deaths for every pandemic has always been lower than the estimated total, because the estimate's purpose is to include those people who died without ever being diagnosed.) And the "Spanish flu" almost certainly came from Kansas. The China hypothesis is a much worse fit with the known evidence for its origin.

  226. Regarding Tiger vs Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the reason for Admiral Lütjens refusing to engage Convoy HX 106 because it was escorted by Ramilles wasn't that he doubted his ships' ability to take Ramilles. It was that he was under very strict orders from Hitler not to engage capital ships at all. The same would've applied to Tiger. Had Lütjens defied those orders and tried to fight Ramilles, even given the inferior guns on his ships I suspect that he would've won that engagement. He did after all outnumber Ramilles 2 to 1, and his ships were 11 knots faster and also better armored. Thus, I disagree with the assessment that Tiger would've had less utility than an R-class early in the war. Even if she had a very limited refit, her speed would've allowed her to be used in duties other than just convoy escort. And Revenge herself did little of any importance during WW2, so discarding her to keep Tiger (or keeping her as the training ship instead of Iron Duke) would've been no big loss. And in terms of the logistics of keeping the BL 13.5-inch Mk V gun in service for a single ship? That would be somewhat of an issue, but remember that those guns were still in use as land-based artillery in railway mounts as well. Three of them were brought to Dover as part of the battery of cross-channel guns. So it's not as if Britain discarded their stores of shells and charges for guns of that caliber. And if Tiger's refit came in the late 1930s, it's possible that she could've had her 13.5-inch guns replaced with the same BL 14-inch Mk VII used on King George V. IIRC, those guns were designed so that they could work with the turrets, cradles, and shell hoists of the 13.5-inch Mk V, because initially there was consideration of using Iron Duke's remaining turrets to test-fire the new gun design.

  229. No, it was only 2 of the 3 battlecruisers lost at Jutland that were doomed by unsafe ammo handling practices. Invincible was in the 3rd Battlecruiser Squadron, which had been detached to the Grand Fleet and thus participated in the Grand Fleet's regular gunnery exercises at Scapa Flow. As such, her crew didn't try to make up for inability to practice long-range gunnery via the "throw enough shit at the wall" tactic the way Beatty's fleet did, and instead actually used the flash doors on their magazines. (Unlike the 1st and 2nd Battlecruiser Squadrons under Beatty, Invincible and her sisters also showed excellent gunnery when they arrived at Jutland. It's quite unfortunate that all 3 battlecruiser squadrons weren't at least rotated through Scapa flow periodically, so that everybody would get at least some proper gunnery training of the sort that wasn't possible at Rosyth.) Invincible was doomed because she was fighting above her weight class, and her 6" armor was simply insufficient to stop Lützow's 12" AP shells.

  266. Russia's biggest export customers by far were China and India. China no longer needs to import fighters from anybody else, and India is working very hard to get into that same position. Not to mention, India has always bought from anybody who's selling, rather than locking themselves into eastern or western hardware. Meaning that any time they look for a new fighter that, India has solicited bids from the US, Britain, France, Russia, and Sweden, and picked whichever jet they thought was the best deal. And in their most recent big contract, the Dassault Rafale beat out the MiG-35. If the MRCA competition had gone differently (and faced just as many delays and legal challenges afterward), Russia would've been exporting dozens (at least) of MiG-35s to India this decade.

  270. Many of the British destroyer classes were so closely related that it's a matter of interpretation how many classes they actually had. For example, are the J/K/Ns three classes of 8 ships each or just one class of 24 ships, given that they were for all practical purposes identical? At any rate, Britain's desperate need for more destroyers resulted in the 112 ships of the War Emergency Programme, which were smaller and less capable than the Tribals, J/K/Ns, and L/Ms. They could be considered anywhere from one to 14 classes depending on how you define it, since they all used the same basic hull design but were constantly improved during construction. It wasn't until the Battle-class (only one of which was completed in time to actually fight in WW2; an additional 25 were built and 18 were cancelled and scrapped partially built) that Britain went back to full-sized fleet destroyers. The US, on the other hand, had the industrial capacity to meet its needs by just spamming out Fletchers, followed by Sumners and Gearings rather than reverting smaller designs. The British "emergency" scaled-down destroyers, like I said, added up to 112 ships. The Fletcher-class? 175 ships.

  273. Kind of too bad that Dassault didn't design a "Mirage G1" with a single Atar 9K as the cheaper option. But then again, "variable geometry wings" and "cheaper" would've run at cross purposes, so I suppose he made the right decision with the F1 even if it would've looked a lot cooler with swing wings.

  277.  @haroldhausman1672  Russia was aggressively expansionist before communism, and it's still aggressively expansionist now after communism. It wasn't the economic system that made the USSR expansionist, it was the long-standing Russian affinity for autocracy.

  278. Honestly, they'd have been better off if they'd just chambered the Pattern 13 in 7mm Mauser. But I guess the thinking was that if the high-velocity, flat-shooting round the Boers used was good, an even higher-velocity, flatter-shooting round would be even better.

  283.  @Schlipperschlopper  The Horten's shape would've had some stealth implications based on British radar capabilities at the time.

  285.  @aliamjon2550  The media treated Trump with kid gloves. It took them literally years to even start using the word "lie" to refer to his nonstop lies. Trump's unpopularity isn't because the media "lied" about him, it's because they (albeit halfheartedly) reported facts about him. The facts made it clear to most Americans that he's the worst President we've ever had. Also, referring to the impeachment outcome as "acquittal" is highly inaccurate. Nobody refers to criminal trial as "acquittal" if there's a hung jury, after all.

  288. When you mention the return to smoothbore for (most) modern tank guns, the reason for this isn't just that modern smoothbores can achieve a better seal than was possible in the past. It's because of the types of ammo that modern tanks use. APFSDS darts are so long relative to their diameter that they can't be spin-stabilized, hence the use of fin stabilization. And for HEAT rounds, having the projectile spin is actively detrimental to the effectiveness of the shaped charge. So to maximize penetration when fired out of a rifled barrel, HEAT ammo actually needs to cancel the spin imparted by the rifling while using fin stabilization. That's a big part of why modern HEAT ammo is drastically more effective than what was used in WW2. So at best, a rifled barrel is redundant for such rounds.

  290.  @Mishn0  Ironically, that tradition came about by complete accident. Out of the 6 Lexington-class battelcruisers, only Lexington and Saratoga were named after battles. All 6 were named after a notable warship from the Revolutionary War or War of 1812, and that was the naming scheme used for CVs up to the Essex-class. That's how names like Ranger, Enterprise, Hornet, Wasp, and Essex ended up in the mix. But at that point they realized so many of the Essex-class were going to be built that they alone would use up all of the good names, even accounting for the reused names of carriers that were sunk. But it was also noticed that quite a lot of those Revolutionary War and War of 1812 ships shared the names of major battles (either be coincidence or intentionally). So that became the new naming scheme, with half of the Essex-class CVs and Independence-class CVLs along with huge numbers of CVEs got battle names. Though quite a lot of the CVEs were also named after small bodies of water.

  291. At first I was wondering about why there would be such a thing as a "Chinese guardian lion" since lions have never been native to China. But after I looked it up, it makes sense. Chinese emperors were being given lions as gifts by Persian emissaries at least as early as the 6th century AD, so they knew what a lion was for a long time.

It was the foundation of their entire society.

  309. Yeah, even with the failure of the French 152mm dual-purpose gun to actually be dual-purpose, Richelieu was a dramatically better design than Bismarck. Well, at least once the problems with the shell hoists were solved. Initially, Richelieu had a very slow rate of fire for her main guns.

That doesn't make throwing star bans any less stupid, of course. I would honeslty be surprised if any western nation has ever had a throwing star murder happen. I suppose it's possible that assassins in feudal Japan might have killed somebody with a throwing star at some point, but only if it were poison coated.

  316. At one point after the war, Kurita basically admitted that he was going to retreat at any point he had plausible excuse to do so, because he knew the war was already lost. Now who knows whether that's actually true (he gave different explanations at different times), but he was telling the truth I don't see anything wrong with deciding not to waste lives in a battle that doesn't actually matter. Had he pressed on, Kurita would've caused mass casualties by destroying the transports Taffy 3 was protecting. But it wouldn't actually have changed the outcome of the war. It wasn't from the Philippines that the B-29s were being launched, after all. And destroying the landing force wouldn't have even stopped the retaking of the Philippines, only slowed it down. Center Force would've still had to withdraw back to Japan after the battle, and another landing force would've been sent in.

It's not as if would've been beyond Ukraine's ability to "unlock" those nukes and make them usable without Moscow. And no, the declaration of independence of Ukraine did not have any guarantees of neutrality. That's another ridiculous Russian lie, just like the constant claims that NATO "promised" not to "expand" eastward.

  327.  @jasonreed1631  On top of the at best overly ambitious idea of having a single airframe for 3 different aircraft intended to each replace multiple aircraft with different mission requirements...the sheer insanity of the F-35 program is the notion of buying the planes before testing them. Much more effort was placed into politically immunizing the program from cancellation by making sure as many members of Congress as a possible had an F-35 related factory in their district than in making sure a good plane was being created.

(And the .30-06 version which by all rights should've been better thanks to not using a fat and rimmed cartridge, turned out instead to be quite possibly the shoddiest caliber conversion ever.)

  370. If anything, this war shows how necessary so-called "NATO expansion" was. If those nations hadn't been allowed to join NATO, Russia likely would've invaded several of them by now. After all, the Baltic states are a lot smaller than Ukraine and would've been quite easy for Russia to conquer without NATO protection. What this shows is that it was foolish of Ukraine to not join NATO back in 2008.

  373. I still find it somewhat surprising that the Royal Navy didn't look for a way to keep HMS Tiger. Especially since she was retired right when the freak-out of the threat of the Deutschland-class as commerce raiders was happening. Battlecruisers were the perfect counter to fast commerce-raiding cruisers, yet Britain was willing to dispose of one of their only 4 remaining battlecruisers. I can't seen any real chance of the Royal Navy using Tiger as a training ship with the specific plan to remilitarize her in wartime the way Japan did with Hiei. Britain was the only nation that was completely scrupulous about complying with the naval treaties, whereas everybody else looked for loopholes to exploit or in the cases of Italy and Japan just outright cheated. For example, the reason the KGV class had 10 rather than the originally planned 12 guns is that with the planned 3 quad turrets they would exceed the 35,000 ton limit by a mere 500 tons. So the only way Tiger would've been saved from the London Treaty would've been to sacrifice HMS Revenge instead. Given Tiger's greater flexibility and Revenge's lack of potential for further upgrades, I think that would've been a good trade.

And when said local god had a wife who couldn't plausibly be "actually Hera under another name", they made her a mortal or demigod that Zeus banged. And then they had a theme going, so "Zeus bangs a random chick" is the go-to way to explain why various heroes have superpowers.

Despite this, they still wore the same uniforms, and thus there's still a definite "North African Muslim" aesthetic to it. And the Papal Zouaves wore a uniform heavily based on that of the French Zouaves. Thus, Catholics dressing up like Muslims.

  399. It's extremely unlikely that Von Spee could've made it back to Germany. At most, he might've been able to sacrifice Scharnhorst and Gneisenau by aggressively charging into Stanley Harbour while the British ships were still building up steam, allowing his light cruisers to flee. That would've brought him into close enough range that his guns would be an actual threat to Invincible and Inflexible. And more importantly, once his ships were inevitably sunk by the superior British force, their wrecks would likely block the Narrows and keep the British battlecruisers and armoured cruisers from leaving until the wrecks were cleared. this would likely give his own light cruisers enough time to escape. And the light cruisers might have been small and fast enough to slip through the British blockade once they reached the North Sea. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau would not have been.

Especially since the main role of these interceptors was to prevent nuclear-armed bombers from penetrating the homeland.

So early 1907s used the original mags, while later ones used the same mag as the 1917. And for a while mags were made with dual catches so they could be used in both early and late 1907s. Oh, and you didn't mention it but the only mags with the hold-open were for the 1915.

Halsey shouldn't just have been removed from his command, he should've been court-martialed for dereliction of duty. But since he'd been built up in the press as a hero, that would've been bad for morale, so he got a pass. And even ended up getting a promotion to Fleet Admiral over the much more deserving Raymond Spruance. But at least Halsey wasn't a coward, unlike MacArthur.

  440. While on the subject of obscure 1937 ships, how about HTMS Maeklong? She's not still active (she's sitting in concrete as a museum ship), but she's still intact and served until 1995. I believe she and the battleship Mikasa are the only surviving warships that were build by Imperial Japan. (Well unless midget submarines count as warships, there's a few of those on display.) Samut Prakan, Thailand is the only place left to see the naval architecture of the WW2-era IJN without needing diving equipment, thanks to the Royal Thai Navy buying their ships from Japan. In addition to Maeklong, the coast defense ship HTMS Thonburi's forward superstructure and turret (the latter identical to those of mounted on Myoko-class cruisers) are set up as a memorial at their naval academy. The Thonburi-class would actually also be worth a video, come to think of it. They actually saw some serious combat, both in WW2 where one of them fought the Vichy French, and in a failed military coup where the other was sunk by the Royal Thai Air Force.

The West actually bent over backwards to be conciliatory toward Russia, and it was very difficult for the Eastern European nations to convince the West (and particularly the United States) to let them join NATO. As this video pointed out, Poland literally threatened to acquire nuclear weapons unless they were allowed to join NATO. That's how desperate they were to get into NATO. It wasn't until 1999 that anyone (specifically, Poland, Czechia, and Hungary) were able to convince the US to let them join. Prior to that, the US attitude was almost to treat Russia as if it was the only nation in Eastern Europe.

Russia's A-100 is supposed to replace the A-50 and still has a rotating radome, but with an AESA radar in it. But as with many Russian vehicles, whether it will ever get past the prototype stage is questionable. A grand total of two have been built, one of which didn't actually have the new radar.

  504. The first-generation dreadnoughts were HMS Dreadnought herself and the other early dreadnoughts with similar firepower (ie a broadside of 8 guns and caliber no greater than 12"). Second-generation dreadnoughts were an incremental improvement with 10 to 12 gun broadsides, and tended to have improved armor and/or all-centerline turret layout. Super-dreadnoughts had a significant increase in size and gun caliber of 13.5" or larger. Then there were the second-generation super-dreadnoughts, which continued the upward trend in size and carried 15" or 16" guns. As to why they were called super-dreadnoughts? The first of them, HMS Orion, was 25% heavier than HMS Dreadnought, and the bigger guns resulted in her weight of broadside (the combined shell weight from a single salvo) being 80% greater. And to illustrate just how fast these advances were happening, Orion was laid down 4 years and 1 month after Dreadnought.

When the IDF adopted the FAL in 1955, 7.62x51 became the standard caliber, and there were so many Mausers still in use (and it'd take a while to make enough FALs and Uzis to arm everybody) that they did a mass rebarreling of them to 7.62.

  527. 48:12 Heck, the Mogadors (and the preceding French super-destroyers) didn't even use whole numbers for the caliber in millimeters either. Usually, metric is sufficient to explain odd French calibers. But not here. They were 138.6mm guns.
    11
  528. The 7.62x53R has a 7.85mm bullet diameter (compared to 7.92mm for 7.62x54R),53.5mm case length (compared to 53.72mm), 14.4mm rim diamater (compared to 14.48mm), and 77mm overall length (compared to 77.16mm). That difference is usually not enough to matter, though. Unlike some other not-quite-identical cartridges such as .308 Winchester and 7.62x51 or .223 Remington and 5.56x45, 7.62x53R and 7.62x54R also have identical maximum pressure. So a gun that can fire one can almost always fire the other. So why does 7.62x53R even exist? Apparently after becoming independent, Finland switched to smaller diameter (7.82mm) barrels when the original barrels of their Mosin-Nagants started to wear out. Why did they do that instead of replicating the existing bore diameter? No idea. I know they bought a bunch of new barrel blanks from SIG in the early 1920s, so maybe that's just what SIG had in stock at the time.

  530.  @red.5475  The Falklands War never would've happened if Vanguard was still in service. The reason they thought it was worth having a go at the Falklands was that the Royal Navy had been depleted enough that they thought they would win quickly and there'd be nothing Britain could do about it. Had the war happened just 1 year later, they actually would've been right given the planned further downsizing, including selling the brand-new HMS Invincible (that as we know was absolutely crucial to the war effort) to Australia. If the Royal Navy still had a battleship (which would be basically impervious to Exocets), sailing it down to the South Atlantic would've surely been enough to deter the junta.

  549.  @oltedders  It came to be known as "Spanish flu" because WW1 press censorship was still in effect when the outbreak began. But Spain was neutral and thus their media wasn't being censored.

  550.  @timmy3822  Britain didn't solely invent the concept, but they were still the first to build both pre-dreadnought and dreadnought battleships. And truly did solely invent the battlecruiser. The fact that no post-age of sail British capital ships have been preserved is really unfortunate. Warspite would've been a difficult prospect given all the damage she'd accumulated, and Valiant wasn't in great shape either. But Renown would've been an excellent choice, being both historically important and in good shape. Or if we went back even earlier than that, Dreadnought could've been kept as a museum ship when she was retired. As Mikasa shows, that was an acceptable way to dispose of a warship under the naval treaties. Imagine if she and Warrior were sitting side by side in Portsmouth now.
    10
  551. @ Those "3rd party snipers" were Russian mercenaries. And as for why Russia didn't warn Yanukovych that it was a bad idea to use lethal force to suppress protesters? Using lethal force to suppress peaceful protests is the standard way of operating in Russia. It wouldn't occur to a Russian to think that's a bad idea. And yes, in fact, the Ukrainian protesters did just organize themselves. They did in fact just arm themselves to fight back when the government got violent. The United States had nothing to do with it.
    10
  552. That would be a very interesting scenario, especially with regard to what happens to the rest of the war going forward.

  559.  @manuelbst8579  That's Argentina's assertion regarding the Falkland Islands. The historical accuracy of that claim is questionable, since it leaves out that the British were the first to discover and claim the islands (in 1690), when they were completely uninhabited. (Since as far as anybody knows, there was never an indigenous population.) Britain first settled the islands in 1765, and temporarily left in 1771 due to economic reasons while continuing to assert their ownership. The islands were illegally occupied by Spain from 1767 to 1811, and then uninhabited until 1829. As such, Argentina's claim is derived from the previous illegal claim by Spain to already-claimed territory which Britain had never relinquished ownership of. The Argentine claim to South Georgia, on the other hand, was first asserted in 1927, and it was on the basis of...absolutely nothing. There had never been any Argentine presence on South Georgia, nor had South Georgia ever been under the administration of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. Argentina seems to have claimed it solely because it's British, and Argentina didn't want Britain to have any territory in the South Atlantic.

And both mentally and physically, Joe Biden is much healthier than Dementia Donald. If he's "past his use by date" then Trump is already rotten and moldy.

The fact that Rasmussen even still gets included in polling averages is stupid, and is probably just because outlets like RCP and 538 are terrified of how much the Republicans will attack them if they remove Rasmussen. I'm convinced that Rasmussen outright fabricates their poll results, and are giving more favorable numbers for Trump just to keep Republicans from being demoralized.

The Imperial War Museum was looking to preserve one of the 6-inch triple turrets from a cruiser, and when they visited HMS Gambia (one of the other cruisers still in reserve) somebody suggested they should preserve the entire ship instead. But it turned out that Gambia was in rather poor condition, and Belfast was in the best shape of the surviving cruisers so she got selected instead. And then the government refused to pay for her preservation, and it was only because her last captain happened to be a Member of Parliament in 1970 that the Royal Navy even allowed her to be preserved with private funds.

  588. It's well-documented as being a lie. From 2014 to 2022, the total civilian death toll in Donbas was 3,404. That's including the 300 people killed on MH17 when it was shot down by a Russian Buk missile. The much-cited 14,400 deaths over that period of the war includes 11,000 soldiers who were KIA (both Ukrainian, "separatist", and Russian). That's certainly not the kind of death toll that 8 years of "indiscriminately shelling civilians" would've resulted in. Look at Gaza to see what just one year of indiscriminate shelling of civilians actually causes.

Trump did not get ventilators to the states that needed them. That's another lie he's kept telling, and you blindly believe him. What Trump actually did was ship ventilators to China because he actually believed his own lies about having stopped the virus from spreading into America. And as for the nursing homes in New York? What actually happened is that COVID-19 patients after they recover have to be allowed back into nursing homes. Because the alternative would be throwing them out on the street and making them homeless.

  595. Unfortunately, Australia was still part of the British Empire rather than a fully independent nation when the Washington Naval Treaty was signed, so the Royal Australian Navy counted toward British tonnage limits. As such, even if the resources were available, there was no way an obsolete 1st-generation battlecruiser would've been retained. Even Lion and Princess Royal were scrapped under the treaty, after all. The only way HMAS Australia could possibly have lasted even to 1930 would've been if she'd been built as a sister ship of Queen Mary or Tiger instead of as a modified Indefatigable. A 2nd-generation battlecruiser armed with the "heavy" version of the 13.5" gun (firing 1,400 lb rather than 1,250 lb shells) could be reasonably argued to be just as valuable unit as any of the (1911) King George V-class battleships.

But to claim that the the NSA doesn't spy on anybody (not just Americans, but ANYBODY) is outright bizarre. The entire PURPOSE of the NSA is to spy. The issue is WHO they're spying on.

  639.  @ekscalybur  And like attaching a stock to your pistol, attaching a suppressor makes it a lot longer and thus harder to conceal, and thus in the vast majority of circumstances less useful to a criminal. If you have a pistol with both a shoulder stock and a suppressor attached, you're easily tripling its length. Meaning that if a criminal wants to conceal it for use in crimes, he'll need to take off the stock and suppressor to conceal them separately. (And even a detached stock is going to be hard to conceal unless he's wearing a coat or stuffs it in a backpack.) Which brings us back to the criminal just using a regular, non-NFA pistol for his crimes. Because it's not like when he mugs somebody he's going to pause to screw the suppressor back on and get the stock out of his backpack to put it on the pistol. The only crime I can think of where a criminal would take time to assemble his weapon on the spot before shooting is a sniper-style assassination. In which case, he'd be using a takedown rifle to get into his firing position without people noticing he's armed. Nobody's going to snipe with a pistol, even if it does have a stock attached. And remember, takedown rifles are not NFA items.

  641.  @banzaibailey5891  The issue is that "prior art" invalidates a patent. You can't validly patent something that's already been invented by somebody else. If it can be proven that somebody else had already invented it before you filed your patent, your patent becomes invalid. The Spencer-Roper patent presumably was still valid for the specific mechanism involved. But Winchester proving that the other pump-action firearms already existed means that they couldn't patent the entire concept of a pump-action firearm. Likewise, the existence of the Lefaucheux revolver (patented in France in April 1854) should've invalided the Rollin White patent (filed in April 1855). I'm not sure whether this simply never got brought up at the time, or if the courts illegally ignored it to preserve White's patent. It might well be the latter, seeing as White's patent should also have been invalid since it involved a mechanism that didn't work.

  642.  @TugaAvenger  The logic (such as it is), is to have a single part that's considered "the gun", so that no amount of of disassembly (short of irreversible destruction of that part) will make it cease to be a gun. And since barrels and bolts are generally somewhat-easily replaceable parts, the receiver was deemed a better option of what to regulate. They didn't anticipate that guns would become modular to the point that the receiver would also become an easily-replaceable part.

While Scharnhorst and Gneisenau's turret-mounted 21cm guns (the casemate-mounted 21cm had only half the max elevation of the turrets and thus much shorter range) did indeed outrange Canopus's old 12"/35s (which were 2 generations older than the 12"/45 of early dreadnoughts) by about 2.7km, at that maximum range of 16.3km the shells would've just harmlessly plinked off the deck armor. And any attempt to get close enough to do damage would've resulted in getting savaged by the 12" guns. That would've been just as suicidal as Craddock's attempt to charge Spee's squadron was.

And by the time of their second rebuild in the 1930s (which brought their speed up to 30 knots, the "battlecruiser" designation had been abolished in the IJN so they were designated fast battleships.

  707. They should also just do away with caucuses. They disenfranchise low-income workers who can't afford to take a whole day off for caucusing. They artificially favor candidates who have a passionate but small base of support, since only the most passionate voters will be willing to spend hours on the caucus process (which also by its nature has no secret ballot) instead of simply being able to go home as soon as your ballot is cast. Caucuses invariably have much lower turnout than primaries. There are even multiple examples in the last several election cycles of states that for some bizarre reason hold both a caucus and a non-binding primary, and even though the primary doesn't count for anything it still gets much higher turnout than the caucus that actually matters.

  753. Neither NYC nor Sweden is even close to herd immunity. Herd immunity would require at least 70% of the population to be immune. For NYC to have herd immunity that would require over 5.8 million people in the city to have been infected (we have 6.8 million confirmed cases nationwide BTW). The actual number has been about 451,000. Even if we go with a very low-end estimate of mortality and say 1%, herd immunity for NYC would involve 58,000 deaths. A more realistic 3% mortality would mean 174,000 deaths. In NYC alone. That's why going for "herd immunity" without a vaccine is insane. And that's before we even get into the fact that immunity after being infected is only temporary. Within a few months, you'll be vulnerable again. It's also ignoring the fact about 20% of COVID survivors have significant permanent lung damage.

  769.  @criticalevent  I was under the impression that Canada cancelled buying the F-35 and is more likely to go with either the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet or the Saab JAS 39E/F Gripen. Both of which are vastly more suited to Canada's needs. The Gripen for its lower operating costs and being optimized from day one for arctic conditions, and the Super Hornet for its ease of transition (literally the same cockpit as the CF-18) and the twin-engine reliability that the RCAF has always liked.

  770. The prospects of a war with China have become very real. But the prospects of a land war with China remain vanishingly small. The only realistic scenario for a war with China revolves around an invasion of Taiwan. And the outcome of any such invasion attempt would be decided at sea, not on the ground. Either Taiwan and the US sink enough of China's transports to prevent a sufficient landing force from reaching Taiwan, or China does manage to land enough troops in which case the war is over and China wins. The latter outcome is considerably less likely, because China's amphibious capability is just nowhere near sufficient for such a large-scale landing, and as much as they've improved their navy it's still not good enough to protect all the troop ships that would be needed for a force as powerful as the US Navy. Either way, nobody's going to launch a counter-invasion of mainland China, simply because doing so would be insane. It would play into all of China's advantages to do so, for no real gain. If the troop ships get sunk without China managing to land a sufficient amount of troops on Taiwan, that means China has already lost the war. There'd be no reason to throw away more lives trying to make China lose even harder.

  772. With regard to the potential of a 1920s war between the US and UK stemming from the naval arms race...the funny thing is that the USN and RN were sharing their designs with each other during that time. The Royal Navy literally brought complete blueprints of HMS Hood and handed them over to the US Navy, and this was used to make alterations to the design of the Lexington-class battlecruisers. (Though they drew all the wrong lessons and the Lexingtons would've been deathtraps had they been completed as CCs and been used in a capital ship role.)

  785. I've always felt a pair of F3s would've been more useful than the Nelsons. Particularly given that Britain's overly lightweight 16" shell wouldn't have been that much of an improvement in lethality over the excellent 15" shell fired out of a longer barrel. And in terms of accuracy and barrel life, the 16"/45 is actually a downgrade. But the substantial speed increase over the Nelsons (5.5 knots faster is a lot) with almost as good armor would've been incredibly useful.

  801. While Drach didn't go into detail about why Yamato's 460mm triple turrets are so absurdly heavy, the reason is that they've got absurd armor. The turret faces were a whopping 650mm (26 inches) thick. I think that is the thickest armor plate ever built, and it's certainly the thickest ever put on a ship. (Bunkers, even those designed to protect against nuclear attack, are not made of a single steel plate. So I'm presuming none of them have a plat as thick as Yamato and Musashi's turret faces.) I can't find any data for what the Number 13's turret face thickness would've been, but seeing as the proceeding Kii-class would've had 356mm turret faces, the most this is likely to have been upgraded to would be 380 to 410mm. I'm assuming they would've been upgraded in some way, since when you upgrade from 410mm to 460mm guns you'll want more armor as well. But the general design trend in Japan's pre-treaty battleships was for much thinner turret armor than was seen in the 1930s designs that led to Yamato.

While increasing the grenade diameter would've required redesigning the whole launcher assembly so that it's further offset to the side of the rifle, the other method that would've been possible is to increase to length of the grenade and the cup. Since such a change would've required no further modification at all to the rifle beyond just attaching a longer cup, it seems like it would've been something worth trying.

  818. Nurlinda F Sihotang I really think the movie was hurt at the box office by Disney's silly insistence on not having "Mars" in the title. Having the title just be "John Carter" make it confusing to people not already familiar with the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel as to what the movie was even about. Not everybody pays attention to trailers, and calling it "John Carter of Mars" (as was originally intended) would've made it clear exactly what kind of movie it was.

They even bought new single-shot Remington Rolling Blocks in 8mm Lebel for rear-line service. The Lebels remained in use during WW1 because there weren't enough Berthiers to replace them. After the war, the Lebel was mostly replaced, but some (mostly cut down into carbines) were still around in rear-line units even during WW2. The French Army was severely under-funded in the interwar years.

Since that's the only way such high elevation would be possible in a casemate.

  884. The problem with the F-35 isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it's been so expensive to get it to work. I suppose it's understandable given how much new technology was being implemented, and everything learned in the process will help with the next generation of fighters that come after it. Though I still think the insistence on a common airframe was a mistake. Trying to save money by maximizing the common components is understandable, but not if it makes the whole project more expensive because of the greater technical challenges of making a single airframe do too many different things. I'm pretty sure the whole thing would've worked out better (as in, lower overall cost and getting operational sooner) if the F-35B had been severed from the F-35 and allowed to have a completely optimized airframe.
    7
  885. Regarding a triple turret version of the QEs? Your notion of a rebuild that removes the aft superfiring turret so that they can end up with useful speed in their 1930s refit has another implication going forward. You now have something a lot more interesting than the Courageous-class's twin turrets to put on HMS Vanguard. If we assume that as in reality, only Warspite, Valiant, and Queen Elizabeth went through full rebuilds since the outbreak of WW2 interrupted the schedule, that leaves three triple turrets to work with. Which means that Vanguard wouldn't need nearly so much redesign work relative to the Lion-class as she went through IRL, because she doesn't need to be lengthened to make room for a 4th turret. This would likely mean she would be given the same thickness of belt armor as the KGVs rather than having it thinned to 14 inches to make up for the longer hull. The simpler process of simply redesigning the Lions to use smaller turrets rather than having to accommodate an AB-XY layout also likely would've sped up the entire process, potentially allowing Vanguard to be laid down in 1940 instead of 1941. The question then is, would that result in Vanguard being completed before the war ended? At one point her construction was prioritized out of hopes that she could be completed in 1944 by diverting resources from other ships, but labor shortages made that impossible and she dropped back down the priority list. But even given said labor shortages, if her construction had begun a year sooner that might actually have been an achievable goal. Not that it really would've mattered much, since there weren't a lot of surface ships left to fight at that point.

  892. Shot traps aren't really a thing for modern long-rod APFSDS projectiles. If it fails to penetrate the armor, it's going to shatter, not ricochet. And that wedge style of frontal turret armor (which originated on the Leopard 2A5) isn't actually the front of the turret. It's a hollow assembly that's attached to the front of the turret. An APFSDS rod that penetrates it will tend to tumble while inside the hollow portion, meaning that it'll be the side of the rod rather than its penetrator that hits the main armor.

  902. Nor was the USN able to make up in volume of fire what they lacked in accuracy, since both the 12" and 13" guns took at least 5 minutes to load. Not that a trio of Pelayos would've done any better if they'd been available to the Spanish, since their 32cm guns also took 5 minutes to reload. And that's a best-case scenario; the same gun in Japanese service took an hour to reload when they were used in combat in the First Sino-Japanese War (though it's possible this had a lot to do with cramming such a large gun onto a 4,200 ton cruiser, which presumably caused more cramped quarters for the gun crew).

  905. There's also the fact that in this scenario, Hood would likely be in much better material condition than Warspite was. Warspite was in terrible shape after taking that Fritz X hit, and would've required extensive repairs to be preserved as a museum ship. A Hood that emerged victorious from the Denmark Strait would've already been repaired and unlikely to have encountered anything that could inflict that level of damage (her speed and range would've certainly brought her to the Pacific as a carrier escort, and kamikazes don't have the armor piercing power of a Fritz X). Given that a refitted Hood would have very similar capabilities to Vanguard, it's also possible that at the end of the war Vanguard would've simply been cancelled to save money. When Vanguard was retired, there was little interest in preserving her even though by that point the British economy had recovered. But then, Vanguard had never really done anything. If Hood had built up a distinguished war record at Denmark Strait, North Cape, and in the Pacific, along with her status as the symbol of the Royal Navy, there probably would've been more interest in her preservation. Maybe some wealthy Briton with an interest in naval history offers the funds. Or maybe the surviving Admiral Holland has enough clout to organize private fundraising efforts to save his old flagship.

  910.  @alessandrorizzuti7857  It's nonsense. The theory is that FDR wanted to draw the US into the war and thus allowed the Pearl Harbor attack to happen rather than warning Admiral Kimmel and General Short that it was coming. The problem is, "the war" that FDR wanted to enter was the war with Germany. It was actively detrimental to his plans for the provoking attack instead be committed by Japan. While the German declaration of war meant that the US could still come to Britain's aid as intended, FDR and Churchill had already worked out a "Germany first" strategy for when the US could start fighting. A strategy that was a rather hard sell when it was Japan that the American people wanted vengeance on.

  918. Not just a language; Russia invented the whole nation of Moldova. Not the name, that's entirely real. But the current country is only the eastern half of historical Moldova. The western half remains part of Romania, as it has been since 1859 when the Romanian principalities (Wallachia and Moldavia) united. The invention of the "Moldovan language" was one part of Russia's larger propaganda effort to create an artificial Moldovan nationality, so as to prevent a reunification (or re-reunification?) with Romania.

  919. With regard to selling older capital ships to other nations rather than scrapping them, in a few cases the Royal Navy tried to and were turned down. HMS Canada was sold to Chile (having previously been purchased from Chile in 1914) and once again became Almirante Latorre. Chile was also negotiating to buy back her sister ship HMS Eagle (Almirante Cochrane), but the RN was converting her into an aircraft carrier and Chile wanted the conversion reverted which wasn't really practical (apparently some in the Chilean Navy wanted to buy her in CV form, which would've probably been a good idea had Chile actually ended up in any naval wars in the 20s or 30s). The British offered to sell them HMS Inflexible and HMS Indomitable (the 2 surviving Invincible-class battlecruisers), but Chile declined. They also tried to sell HMS Agincourt to Brazil (who she'd originally been designed for), but presumably the Brazilians remembered why they sold her to Turkey in the first place and said no. And with regard to building new battleships for foreign sale, the Washington Naval Treaty required that any such ships built by the signatories must be treaty-compliant. But building capital ships for export was still legal. Vickers apparently at one point offered a Nelson-like design to Spain, and Ansaldo offered upgraded versions of the Littorio-class to both Spain and the USSR.

  949. Since 7.62x54R and .303 British are very similar cartridges (both are rimmed, bottleneck cartridges using the same diameter bullet, and the overall length and rim diameter both differ by less than 1mm), that's not a very difficult conversion. Especially when you're putting on a new barrel to begin with. But if you've got a lot of both Enfields and Mosin-Nagants in stock, it seems like the logical thing to do would be pick one caliber or the other. Either convert all the Enfields to 7.62x54R or convert all the Mosins to .303. The former is probably easier, since even if the .303 is only slightly longer than the 7.62x54R, that still might cause some issues with feeding .303 out of a Mosin's magazine. Though I suppose if you're a poor nation and have a lot of ammo in both calibers as well, you don't want to throw away either caliber. And dividing their use based on geography reduces the logistical problems from using two rifle calibers.

  955. I don't think Warren actually wants to be President, even now. But she realized after the 2016 debacle that she made a mistake by not running then. If she ran in 2016, I think she would've beaten Hillary in the primary. She had much more built-in name recognition back then than Bernie did (not true anymore, but absolutely it was true in 2016) and had become beloved by Democrats on both the left and the center for her CFPB activism. I seriously think she's the only Democrat who could've beaten Hillary in the 2016 primary. And without all the baggage Hillary has (both in terms of fake scandals ginned up for decades by Republicans and actual ties to Wall Street banksters), she would've beaten Trump in the general election as well. Hillary barely lost, so somebody who would've been more accepted by the left and driven higher turnout would've won.

It's only because the United States has incredibly lax safety regulations that the Cybertruck is even legal. Putting cameras on an unsafe vehicle doesn't transform it into a safe vehicle. Having no dash displays in front of the steering wheel and instead having them all on a touchscreen to the side is also unsafe, because it takes the driver's eyes off the road. And as for "driving itself", that's also inherently unsafe at current levels of technology. Especially since Elon Musk insisted that FSD must use only cameras, with no other sensors, entirely because he thinks it's cooler that way. He says that's fine because human drivers use our eyes the same way. But no camera has ever been invented that can match the human eye for depth perception. And any self-driving car needs to be better than a human at "seeing" everything on the road, so there's absolutely no excuse for refusing to use a radar or lidar system.

The industrial improvements that would've been needed to modernize Russia didn't happen, because all the men who would've been working on such things instead got conscripted to fight in the war. And what industrial capacity Russia had was all being focused on producing war materiel right now rather than on improvements that would only bear fruit 5+ years later. A nation at peace can focus more on long-term planning, while a nation at war (with enemy troops occupying large swaths of their country) can only focus on immediate survival.

  1021. As soon as I heard that they're going to train with a different, lower-velocity round than what will get used in combat, I immediately thought that's an incredibly bad idea. That means troops will spend long periods of time training with the lower-recoil practice ammunition, then went sent into combat the rifle they've gotten used to will suddenly kick harder because they're firing the hotter ammo. You train the same way you fight, or at least you're supposed to. Otherwise the training becomes less effective at preparing you to fight. Also, I think the Army essentially abandoning intermediate cartridges is an idiotic concept. And Russia's current combat performance (showing their infantry doesn't even understand basic combined-arms tactics and is so ill-equipped that some units are literally using Mosin-Nagants) makes the notion that we need a super-hot full power rifle cartridge to beat them laughable.

That half of Moldavians seem to be quite happy as part of Romania. Moldavia didn't get erased when it unified with Wallachia and Transylvania the first time, it simply became one of the three constituent regions of a larger country. (I'm aware that "Moldavia" called itself Moldova. I'm using that name because it's easier to differentiate because the historic principality and the modern republic that way.) And from a purely pragmatic view, it seems like reunifying with Romania would be the best way for Moldova to be protected against future Russian aggression. Your country is almost certainly Russia's next target if they achieve victory over Ukraine.

It'd have atrociously bad DPM compared to Yamato, which already has the lowest DPM of all Tier 10 BBs (we don't talk about 457-Conqueror). Those 510mm guns would be the most powerful in the game on an individual shell basis, but they wouldn't be enough stronger than Yamato's 460mm to make up for having 1/3 fewer guns. And it's not as if making up for this by increasing the reload would be a good solution; even giving it the 510mm a stock reload of 30 seconds would be incredibly generous. NavWeaps estimates that the reload cycle would've been 48 to 60 seconds.

  1082. As far as I'm aware, the highest political office any Bonaparte has held since then is deputy mayor of a small town in Corsica. For several decades, France was pretty serious about not taking the risk. They had a law (not repealed until 1950) exiling the heads of all deposed royal houses. But after WW2, apparently they decided that it wasn't really a threat anymore. Plus, the then-current head of the House of Bonaparte was a war hero, having joined the French Foreign Legion under an assumed name and fought in the French Resistance. So it would've been pretty douche-y to not let him live in France even if he was a Bonaparte.

  1084.  @stephenwoods4118  And his point was garbage. First off, it's not actually necessary that every weapon fire the same cartridge. Or even necessary a good thing for them to. Obviously there's a logistical advantage, but the ideal cartridge for a machine gun and the ideal cartridge for a rifle are not the same. There's no reason that the M1917 and M1919 wouldn't keep using the .30-06 even after a transition to .276 Pedersen in rifles. And yes, the BAR would've needed to either be replaced or converted to the new round. Which would've resulted in a much better version of the BAR in the process. Second, the fact that there's large stockpiles of the old ammo is not a reason to not change calibers. There were lots of .30-40 rounds when the switch to .30-06 (or initially .30-03) happened as well. And hell, it was 1932. Manufacturing hundreds of millions of the new cartridge could have provided thousands of new jobs during the Great Depression, while also giving American soldiers a better weapon.

  1093. That's the thing, we don't have a right to vote for anybody we want. For example, if you wanted to vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger or Elon Musk for President, you can't because neither are a natural-born citizens. If somebody wants to vote for Taylor Swift , they can't because she's only 34 years old. If somebody wants to vote for Bill Clinton or George W. Bush or Barack Obama, they can't because all three of them have already served the maximum two terms. The Constitution places limits on who can be President. And one of the limits the Constitution imposes is that if you engage in an insurrection, you're disqualified from holding any elected or appointed office.

  1097. The entire concept of the fast battleship is a merger of the battleship and battlecruiser roles. That's what Japan was going for with the Kii-class. And it's basically what Britain had achieved with the G3: if built it would've been the best-protected ship in the history of the Royal Navy to date (it's just that Royal Navy battleships in general during the dreadnought era had thinner belts than their American and German counterparts). The only catch is that Britain was simultaneously designing N3, which was slower, better armed, and more armored (and would've been the best-armored ship on Earth until Yamato was built). Just because you've stumbled onto the ideal capital ship, of course, doesn't mean you'll realize you've done so.

  1098. The F-104 is a perfect example of how you can't just strap bombs on a single-role fighter and call it multi-role. Some fighters turn out by accident to be easily adaptable to the ground attack role ("not a pound for air-to-ground" was the motto in designing the F-15A/B, yet the F-15E is an excellent strike aircraft), but some just aren't.

  1107.  @gustavoa.belfiore4701  The problem is that the US Constitution is (by design) very difficult to change. While to an extent that's a good thing, because the fundamental structure of government shouldn't be something that can be done on a whim, the bar to do so is pretty clearly set too high. A 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress followed by a 3/4 vote of the states means that a tiny minority of the country can block an amendment from happening. And since Republicans know it's very possible that they'll never win the nationwide popular vote again, any Republican-majority states are obviously never going to support an amendment to abolish the electoral college.

One of my favorites is Armstrong Deisgn 686, a super-dreadnought with 16" guns, but also a weird throwback to the pre-dreadnought era since it also had 9.4" secondaries. Apparently this was personally designed by one of the Brazilian admirals with the assistance of Armstrong's Lord d'Eyncourt. I'd love if Wargaming adds South American battleships to World of Warships, just so weird ships like that can be included.

  1137. How likely is it that the torpedo that sank USS Porter actually came from that ditching TBF Avenger? Given that Avengers carried their torpedo in an internal bomb bay, the odds of it "successfully" launching after the plan was in the water strikes me as very low. Even if the torpedo had been released, with the bay doors still closed and a Twin Cyclone radial in front of it, how would it get out of the Avenger to run into a nearby destroyer?

  1141. It seems to me that Japan's best choice for the Satsumas would've been similar to what Britain did to speed up Dreadnought's completion: swipe some turrets and guns from other, less important ships. Lord Nelson and Agamemnon didn't enter service until 2 years after Dreadnought, because their 12"/45 turrets were put on Dreadnought instead. This meant only 2 guns and 1 turret actually had to be built for Dreadnought, but afterward replacement guns and turrets had to be built for Lord Nelson and Agamemnon to be completed. Mikasa was given a rather extravagant refit from 1906-1908 that replaced her pair of 12"/40 turrets with 12"/45s. And 2 each of the Tsukuba- and Ibuki-class armoured cruisers and Katori-class battleships (all also armed with a pair of 12"/45 twin turrets) were still under construction at the time Satsuma was laid down (though some would soon be completed). If Japan had been willing to delay any of those ships until more 12"/45s could be built, that's a total of 14 turrets and 28 barrels to work with. Whereas completing Satsuma and Aki to their original design would only divert away 16 barrels and 4 turrets (the single turrets for the wing mounts would've still needed to be built from scratch).

  1142. ​ @murderouskitten2577  It was relatively small (by capital ship standards) shells that were hitting Tiger, since the German battlecruisers had either 11-inch or 12-inch guns. Still impressive that she shrugged off so many hits, though.

  1143. It seems to me that the Monmouths would've been better off dispensing with the belt armor altogether and just building them as large protected cruisers. That weight savings could've allowed for the casemates to be raised a deck higher so they'd all actually be usable.

  1148.  @nikitashulmin1883  Should I remind you that the Soviet Union invaded Finland without provocation on November 30, 1939? (No, the shelling of the border village of Mainila was not provocation. Because that was carried out by the NKVD as a false flag operation. The Soviets shelled their own village in order to blame Finland and have a flimsy pretext for invading.) And no, NATO did not start wars against Yugoslavia, Libya, and Iraq. NATO had no involvement whatsoever in either of the wars in Iraq. Yugoslavia ceased to exist as of April 27, 1992, and NATO's war against Serbia was to defend Croatia and Bosnia from genocidal Serbian aggression. And NATO (along with the Arab League) participated in the no-fly zone over Libya to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1973.

Particularly given that decades of Harrier operations have shown that VTOL is more gimmick than useful capability for a warplane, while STOVL (still allowing operation off a short deck but allowing far more fuel and weapons to be carried) is insanely valuable.

  1206. On the plus side, Omicron might also be less dangerous. It was always a possibility that a mutation would produce a variant that spreads more easily (thus outcompeting other variants) yet causes less severe illness. That's what happened to the Spanish flu a century ago. We didn't have flu vaccines back then (they were still decades away). The Spanish flu was H1N1, which never actually went away. We just lucked out and it mutated into something less dangerous. Omicron being like that for COVID is something we can't even say is likely yet, let alone certain. Omicron is too new, the sample size is too small, and has so far skewed young (the people with the lowest chance of severe COVID in the first place) for them to even do meaningful research yet on whether it's less likely to cause death or organ damage. We can just hope it turns out that way, because with all the anti-vaxxers guaranteeing continued spread, a lucky mutation is our only way out of this pandemic.

  1213. While the samurai that Kotetsu fought against at Hakodate Bay were Tokugawa loyalists, at this point the Shogunate was already over and they didn't see themselves as rebelling against the Emperor. Hokkaido (known as Ezo at the time) wasn't really considered part of Japan yet. They wanted to make it part of Japan (which happened), and have the Tokugawa clan rule it so that their now-unemployed retainers would have jobs again (which the Meiji government rejected). It's actually kind of odd that this proposal wasn't accepted, yet appointing Tokugawa Iesato as a prince and making him Japan's chief diplomat to Europe was fine.

  1226. If the High Seas Fleet were completely wiped out, even if they badly mauled the Grand Fleet in the process, that would've resulted in the war ending sooner because it would've meant that there was little to stop the rest of the Royal Navy from sailing all the way to the German coast. The only German dreadnought that didn't make it to Jutland was König Albert. Combine that with Bayern being completed a 45 days later, that gives Germany only 2 dreadnoughts. Baden wouldn't be completed until March 1917 and Hindenburg until May 1917. No matter how badly the Grand Fleet had been mauled, you have Royal Sovereign that was fitting out at time of Jutland, with Queen Elizabeth, Emperor of India (Iron Duke-class), Dreadnought, and HMAS Australia under maintenance. And Renown and Repulse would both be ready before October 1916. Even if Jutland had been the mutual annihilation of both fleets, Germany would be doomed. Just the handful of capital ships that Britain had under maintenance or near completion would've been enough to steamroll the few major German warships that weren't at Jutland, let alone if Britain decided to ask France and/or Japan if they could spare a few ships. Once the Grand Fleet was reassembled, there'd be basically nothing between them and Wilhelmshaven.

  1228. It's astonishing that anyone wouldn't want to get rid of the electoral college. Oh, that's right. Republicans know that they'll never again have the support of the majority of Americans. The only way they can maintain power is in a system where some voters are considered more important than others. If every vote counted the same, the Republican Party would die very rapidly.
    5
  1229. I take it you didn't notice the vote count in that election? The electoral college is an innately evil concept, arbitrarily making some voters superior to others based only one what state they happen to live in. And Republicans can't win elections without cheating. That's why you rely so extensively on gerrymandering and voter suppression. And probably also hacking the voting machines.
    5
  1230. Care to explain what I said that was inaccurate? How can you deny that the electoral college makes some voters more important than others, just based on which state they live in? Why do you think "one person, one vote" would be a bad thing?

  1231.  @danielsolodov4222  None of Russia's grievances are legitimate. Russia's actual grievance is that NATO membership makes it impossible for them to conquer the Baltic states and Poland. Also, it makes no difference what percentage of the Russian people support Putin. Even if they really do all support him (rather than just "supporting" him to avoid being disappeared), Russia's invasion still has to be stopped.

  1233.  @Ben-ev5se  Congo as a single country dates to just 1960. Without Belgian colonization (or some other European colonizer doing the same) it never would've been a single country. You'd probably have a country roughly matching the borders of the old Kingdom of Kongo in the southwest, another around the old Kingdom of Lunda in the southeast (ie the Katanga region, more or less), and probably two or more smaller countries to the north. Rulers (and the outside world supporting them) stubbornly trying to maintain the colonial borders is a big part of why Africa has struggled so much to recover from colonialism. Remember, the colonizers did not draw these borders to viable nations. Quite the opposite, they specifically drew them to not be viable nations.

They all passed the test.

  1255. FYI, the version of Kronshtadt in World of Warships is the original design. Or at least the originally ordered design; obviously there were multiple iterations before it was finalized, as with almost any warship. During the time of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, construction of the ships was running behind schedule and Stalin got the idea that they could speed things up by buying 28cm guns and triple turrets from Krupp. (He failed to account for the fact that that the ship would need to be redesigned before they could mount new turrets with different sized turret rings.) The Krupp officials told him that those guns were out of production, but that they could sell him 38cm twin turrets that were similar in size instead. Stalin jumped on that. So the relatively well-known Kronshtadt design with 3x2 38cm guns was the result of political meddling.

  1282. You mention there were criticisms of the secondary turrets being so widely spaced, and suggest that it would've made more sense to place at least some of the 7.5-inch guns in twin turrets instead. But it seems to me that the really obvious answer that somebody should have thought of was to discard the secondary battery entirely and put 2-3 single 9.2-inch guns on each side. (I'm guessing that 9.2-inch twin turrets on the wings would be completely impossible without either widening the hull by at least several feet or taking the rather insane step of deleting sections of the belt armor amidships to make room.)

  1287.  @Tinylittledansonman  I'm guessing the lack of thermal vision on Russian tanks (even though most of their upgrade packages over the last 30 years claim to have it) is a mix of limited budget (especially in the 90s and 2000s), and corruption sapping what's left of the budget away from what's actually needed. And as for the poor troop performance, you have conscripts who seem poorly-trained and unmotivated. IIRC, Russia law says that conscripts during their 2-year period of duty aren't used in operations outside of Russia. They're supposed to be solely defensive units. Russian law being at best a casual suggestion to Putin and his staff, they're being set into a foreign war anyway. (In fact, some rumors suggest the generals haven't told Putin about including the conscripts in the invasion force, because that would be a sign that things were going poorly.) Some of them apparently didn't even know they were being sent to war, particularly against fellow Slavs, until the invasion was actually launched.

You're right that this wouldn't have worked for the outboard engines because of ground clearance issues. Boeing at one point suggested replacing each pair of TF33s on the B-52H with a single PW2000 (as used on the C-17), which isn't as large as the TF39 and JT9D. But it still would've required significant changes to the wings to have enough ground clearance for the outboard engines, which is why it never happened.

  1330. Monarch rather famously is historically implausible, because it retains the amidships catapult, yet has lattice masts that not even Vanguard stayed in active service long enough to receive. (Belfast received such masts in her 1956 refit, a year after Vanguard was placed into reserve.) There's also the fact that she's ostensibly Design 15C, but her hull is a direct copy-paste of King George V. The actual Design 15C had various differences in detail from the finalized Design 14P, rather than being the same ship except with 3x3 15-inch instead of 2x4 and 1x2 14-inch. Kii's configuration in World of Warships is straight-up nonsense. An IJN dreadnought serving through the 1930s and into WW2 without torpedo bulges being added? Absolutely never would've happened. It's also completely unbelievable that Japan would ever cut out a section of a battleship's hull to install a set of cruiser-style torpedo launchers. Every battleship they had placed torpedoes on previously had them removed during those same 1930s refits that the WoWS version of Kii inexplicably never went through. Everything above Kii's weather deck is fairly plausible if you accept the premise of the war lasting an extra couple of years (or perhaps the war starting a year or two later than in reality) and this particular ship surviving long enough to get 10cm Type 98s and reverse-engineered 40mm Bofors installed. This was one of the most disappointing "paper ships" in the game to me, because by comparison Amagi seems like a very authentic version of what the ship would've looked like had she been completed as a battlecruiser and served into WW2.

  1343. 3:48 I don't think Jutland can really be called a decisive battle, though. It was pretty much as indecisive as it gets. Both fleets were intact afterward, and both could and did put forth arguments that they'd "won". A decisive battle is more than just a large battle. When a decisive battle happens, there shouldn't be any doubt afterward who won. After Jutland, the Grand Fleet retained control of the seas, but with the High Seas Fleet still intact that control was tenuous. It remained possible that the Germans might take that control away from them in a future battle. Whereas had Jutland been decisive, one side or the other would've been in no shape whatsoever to contest control of the North Sea for years to come.

  1352.  @josephshields2922  There's no such thing as "the Zelensky dictatorship", and annexation by Russia was never "the will of the people" in eastern Ukraine. In the 2019 presidential election, Zelensky was more popular in the east than in the west, getting 89% of the vote in Luhansk, 87% in Donetsk, 86% in Zaporizhzhia, and 82% in Kherson, compared to 73% nationwide, 60% in Kyiv, 54% in Ivano-Frankivsk, 50% in Ternopil, and 34% in Lviv (the only oblast where he lost). This narrative that everyone in eastern Ukraine in general or everyone in Donbas in particular are Russian or want to be annexed by Russia is complete BS. The east has more ethnic Russians than the west, but they're still not the majority. And even among ethnic Russians, there are still plenty who prefer to remain part of Ukraine.

He claims to have fired the staffer for their "sloppy" work (as if it were a mistake and not a deliberate deception), but since the staffer was never named we can't even verify that much.

Ukraine's independence didn't come from any "Minsk treaty", and the Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 were Russian impositions on Ukraine's independence, imposed at gunpoint. The modern equivalent of the "unequal treaties" that the Western powers and Japan imposed on China in the 19th century. "NATO expansion" is frankly none of Russia's business. Maybe if Russia just stopped threatening all of its neighbors, they'd stop joining NATO for protection against Russian aggression.

It was Brazil, with a dreadnought built for them in Britain.

Unfortunately, the CV90105 wasn't even in consideration, since for whatever reason BAE offered an upgraded M8 AGS instead. (Presumably they thought a design of American origin would have a better chance of winning even if it was a clearly worse vehicle than the CV90.) What's even more inexplicable is that the CV90 isn't one of the contenders of the XM30 MICV either. Instead it's between the Rheinmetall Lynx KF41 and GDLS Griffin III. I'd say the Griffin III is a shoe-in since the Lynx is a foreign design and the Griffin II just got adopted as the M10 Booker.

  1409. Given that presumably the Archduke still gets assassinated and Austria-Hungary still goes to war with Serbia regardless, imagine how World War I would've turned out if the Anglo-German alliance had actually happened. I can't see things going well for Russia and France if Britain joins the Central Powers. Outside of Europe, Britain entering the war on Germany's side means most likely their ally Japan does as well. Rather than taking German colonies as in our timeline, they'd see this as an opportunity to seize French Pacific colonies and North Sakhalin. And maybe even attempting an invasion of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

  1417. Interesting that the US objection to a 12" caliber limit in the London Naval Treaty was the prospect of not being able to fit enough AA, rather than 12" guns simply not being sufficient to deal effectively with the most powerful existing battleships. Shows a surprising amount of awareness in 1930 that the threat of air attack was real. That said, it doesn't seem like there's any particular reason why a 12" armed BB couldn't be just as big a hull as a 14" armed one.

That's about where the similarities end. The Navy was fully aware of this from the start, they point of the scam was to make Congress think it was a simple low-risk upgrade to an existing design when it was actually a whole new plane that's significantly larger and more expensive.

So no, you don't get to pretend that Reade's dead mother is one of the people who "came forward" to say they were told about it at the time. Her brother has changed his own story, originally he said that Reade had only told him at the time about being "harassed" in Biden's office. Her neighbor has since backtracked and said she doens't actually remember the conversation Reade claims to have had. She only remembers Reade "reminding" her about it earlier this year. And you're delusional if you think Biden being replaced is actually something that could happen.

  1429.  @426baron  Yep, France made sometimes baffling decisions with their naval designs in that era. For example, I can't imagine what they were thinking with mounting Dupuy de Lome's 194mm main guns on the wings instead of having them be the centerline guns fore and aft. The extremely limited ability to fire both guns forward or aft is in no way a good trade-off for only being able to fire one of them broadside. For that matter, given that the very slightly smaller Olympia was able to mount four 8-inch guns in a pair of twin turrets, there's really no excuse for Dupuy de Lome not doing the same with 194mm. Replacing the six single 164mm mounts fore and aft (in rather questionable layout too) with a couple of 194mm twin turrets would've made for a dramatically better ship. Then either discard the 164mm entirely, or (since they were probably worried about the 194mm's much lower rate of fire) drop the 194mm wing turrets in favor of some 164mm mounts along the sides. This probably wouldn't have even required any significant changes to the hull, just to the superstructure (which shouldn't have been that hard since Dupuy de Lome barely had a superstructure).

  1527. Sort of. The difference being that previously, "battlecruiser versions" of Royal Navy battleships ranged from the same size as their battlecruiser equivalent to about 4,000 tons heavier. Whereas Hood was a whopping 15,000 tons heavier than Queen Elizabeth. Lion was 18% heavier than her battleship counterpart Orion. Queen Mary was 16% heavier than King George V (and there's certainly jokes to be made there). Tiger was 14% heavier than Iron Duke. Renown was initially 1% lighter than Revenge, but became 14% heavier once the 6" belt armor was upgraded to 9" (ie the same protection as Lion, Queen Mary, and Tiger). Hood was 55% heavier than Queen Elizabeth. When you made the "battlecruiser version" of a battleship, normally you got the additional speed by having lighter armor and one less turret. In Hood's case, she instead got that extra speed via being enormous.

  1543. Something that occurs to me with the Montanas is that unlike the Iowas, they would've reverted to externally mounted belt armor. Which means that in the 1980s, something that might've been considered is simply removing the belt (since protection against armor piercing shells was no longer considered relevant). Since the belt armor is one of the heaviest parts of a battleship, that would reduce the weight by quite a bit and possibly increase their speed to above 30 knots. Or of course if they'd had the X and Y turrets replaced by missiles at some earlier date, that might not even have been an issue. Regardless of what sort of missiles might've been chosen in the 60s or 70s, they would've weighed a lot less than a pair of 16"/50 triple turrets.

  1551.  @crazydiamondrequiem4236  One of the designs considered for the KGV class was 15-inch guns in 3 triple mounts. 3 triples and 1 twin would've certainly been possible within Treaty weight limits. The reason for 14-inch guns was that Britain pushed very hard for making that the new caliber limit in the 2nd London Naval Treaty, and Parliament thus insisted on it even though the Admiralty preferred the 15-inch guns. The 14-inch limit was no longer applicable once Italy and Japan confirmed they weren't going to sign the new treaty (thus triggering the escalator clause), but Britain was unwilling to delay construction of the ships to increase their armament. It probably wouldn't have been hard to design a 15-inch triple turret that could use the same barbettes as the 14-inch quads, but getting a 15-inch twin to fit the barbette of a 14-inch twin would've been a lot more difficult. And reverting to the Admiralty's preferred 3x3 15-inch layout would've required completely redesigning the forward barbettes. As such, once the KGVs were already under construction, it really wasn't plausible to increase their armament. The delay would've simply been too long, and the Royal Navy needed modern battleships quickly in order to counter those of the other naval powers. As such, the only way a 15-inch KGV was likely to happen would be if the 2nd London Naval Treaty had used 15-inch rather than 14-inch as the new caliber limit from the start. (Which likely would've had the interesting effect of the US Navy designing a 15-inch gun for the North Carolina class. Since that's a caliber the US never used historically, it'd be interesting to see what the specs of such a gun would've been. Particularly the possibility of a super-heavy 15-inch shell.)

  1552. I'm surprised that none of those nations were willing to just make a revised version using non-British ejection seats. For that matter it's also surprising that the US hasn't sold them F-16s, which uses the entirely American Collins Aerospace ACES II rather than a Martin-Baker ejection seat. Sure, that might piss off the Brits, but it's better for US interests than having Argentina move into the Chinese orbit.

  1554. This whole idea that the belt armor needed to cover a fixed percentage of the hull length seems completely baffling, and flies in the face of the entire point of the all-or-nothing armor system: to focus all of the armor on the vital spaces and create an armored citadel with enough buoyancy to keep the ship afloat even if if the entire rest of the hull floods. If you insist on a fixed percentage of the length being covered by the belt, you're demanding that the benefits of all-or-nothing armor be half-assed, because some of the weight of armor will be wasted on protecting areas that don't need to be protected.

  1562. The reason is money. In the immediate aftermath of WW2 in particular, the UK was in a pretty dire financial situation. They'd basically been funding their war effort on credit from the US, and with the war over that credit evaporated. And with the war over, the Royal Navy was also now much bigger than what they needed it to be in peacetime. So among other things, they sold their obsolete ships for scrap in order to get some immediate cash. By the time they started thinking about preserving some WW2 vessels as museum ships in the 1960s (by which point the UK economy was fully recovered and then some), all of the battleships and wartime aircraft carriers were already gone.

It will barely fit into a C-130 and the C-130 can take off with it in the bay, but both of those statements are only true if you leave behind the add-on armor. And even if you do just operate without the slat armor and accept the vulnerability to RPGs and such, the fact that (in both height and weight) the Stryker is at the very limit of C-130 capacity means it's typically going to ride in a C-17 anyway.

A lot of people are ignorant (sometimes willfully so) about what premeditation means. It doesn't require that the crime be planned any significant amount of time in advance. If Derek Chauvin arrived at the scene and saw that the suspect was George Floyd, and thought to himself "this is a perfect opportunity to kill somebody I don't like", that would be enough to constitute premeditation. And I strongly suspect that's exactly what happened.

  1594.  @jimtaylor294  If even a single fleet carrier had still been in service, the Falklands War never would've happened. It was the largely-accurate perception that the Royal Navy was in terminal decline that led the Argentine junta to think they could get away with seizing British territory. But they jumped the gun on it, rather than waiting for Hermes to be decommissioned and Invincible to be sold to Australia, both of which were scheduled for 1982. Had the war happened a year later, the only British carrier would've been Illustrious, which would've probably just started her shakedown cruise. Had Eagle gotten a major refit in the 70s instead of being retired, thus still being active in 1982? Or better yet, if CVA-01 had been built? Invading Chile instead would've been looking better and better to the junta.

  1600.  Sean m  Apparently Captain Hoffmann of Scharnhorst suggested to Lütjens the idea of using his ship as a decoy to draw Ramilles out of position (a fairly low-risk strategy, given Scharnhorst's superior armor and extreme speed advantage) so that Gneisenau could get within range to attack the convoy while remaining outside Ramilles' gun range. Given that Ramilles failed to identify Scharnhorst, it's possible that they didn't realize Gneisenau was also present, in which case such a tactic would've had some chance of success. There also would've been the option of simply trying to bombard the convoy from long range. The 28cm SK C/34 had a maximum range of 40km, though the odds of actually hitting a moving target at that range would be near zero. The BL 15"/42 Mk I in an older non-refitted mount like on Ramilles was limited to 20 degrees elevation and a maximum range of 26km with super charges (which I don't think had been issued yet in 1941) or 21km without them. So if they stayed at least 22km away, they could've fired on the convoy without Ramilles being able to respond. The accuracy at such ranges would've been low (though Scharnhorst had a year earlier scored a hit on Glorious from around 24km away), but it also would've been low-risk (at least so long as they didn't stick around long enough for reinforcements to arrive).

  1629. It's the same reason so much attention was played to the Soviet Union's Sverdlov-class during the Cold War, even though they were basically just a pre-WW2 light cruiser design upgraded with newer radar. And Britain's ultimate solution to that threat had the Cold War ever turned hot was pretty much "let the Americans handle it" (or the RAF if one of them dared to enter the North Sea). The Royal Navy's fleet, especially once their own aircraft carriers were retired, was predicated on not facing any foes with armor and heavy-ish guns. Anything along those lines would be dealt with by air power, while the Royal Navy would focus on anti-submarine duties.

  1651. Another good comparison would be the Grumman F11F-1F Super Tiger, in that both were in part brought down by outright bribery. This time around, rather than Lockheed it was British Aerospace paying out the bribes. That's why when the Saudis decided they needed non-American aircraft (out of worries that the Israel lobby might succeed in blocking further F-15 sales), they ended up with the less capable Panavia Tornado instead of the Mirage 4000. Not that the Tornado is worthless, but the Mirage 4000 is clearly much better. Whereas the Tornado required separate ground attack and interceptor models, the Mirage 4000 could simply perform both roles without modification. The Mirage 4000 also had a better than 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio at typical combat weight, while both versions of the Tornado fall well short of that. And the Mirage 4000 is much more maneuverable.

It'd be one thing if some of her own P-1000 Vuklan missiles had been detonated. That would've probably broken Moskva in half.

For starters, I imagine the Renowns (laid down a month and a half after the Falklands) would've immediately had their construction delayed long enough to do away with the bizarre design decision of a 6" armor belt. At an absolute minimum, they'd revert to a 9" belt like the Lions and Tiger already used. ie what they historically were given in 1920s refits. Or possibly even the Design Y battlecruiser (the "Super Tiger", with 11" belt and 4x2 15" guns) would've been built instead. Possibly the funding that went to 2 Renowns and 3 Courageouses historically would've gone to 4 Super Tigers. Or just 4 up-armored Renowns. Aside from Indefatigable being in immediate need of replacement, there'd be a perception that her sister ships are inadequately armored, while Germany's own battlecruiser fleet would still need to be countered. Adding 4 instead of 2 15" armed battlecruisers would allow Australia and New Zealand can be sent to safer duties than directly confronting their German counterparts, while still directly upgrading the fleet's strength. Though of course Jutland would happen before any of the new ships would be complete, so this plan wouldn't have a chance to be put into practice. When it comes time for Jutland, the 2nd and 3rd Battlecruiser Squadrons would probably have been rearranged to account for Indefatigable's loss. Most likely it would be the now under-strength 3rd (consisting only of Australia and New Zealand) that gets detached to the Home Fleet, leaving the 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron (the 3 Invincibles) at the tail of Beatty's battle line. No way to know whether the collision between Australia and New Zealand would still happen when they're up at Scapa Flow, but it's possible that New Zealand will be the only battlecruiser attached to the Grand Fleet at Jutland. This would actually be an upgrade to Beatty's force, though whether he'd gain any advantage out of this is questionable, since it's Beatty.

  1665. No, they were founded independently. And initially weren't called Star and Astra. The original companies ere Bonifacio Echeverría (founded in 1905) and Esperanza y Unceta (founded in 1908), both simply using the names of their founders. Both were originally located in Eibar (which was always the heart of Spanish weapons making), but Esperanza y Unceta moved to Guernica in 1913 and during World War I started using the "Astra" trade name while making the Ruby pistols for export to France. (There were about 500 Spanish companies of varying sizes making such pistols, because France was desperately short on all types of firearms in WW1.) Bonifacio Echeverría was one of the other companies making Ruby pistols at the time, and at least some of them were marked with the trade name "Star", and the company started going by Star for all its products in 1919. It's quite possibly that they were copying Astra by switching to a similar name. That sort of thing was common among Spanish gunmakers. At any rate, Star and Astra remained competitors until Star went bankrupt in 1993 and Astra in 1997. And Llama, the other major Spanish gunmaker, went bankrupt in 2000. There's still a few small companies left in the Eibar region making expensive high-end shotguns and double-barrel rifles, but for the most part the gun industry is gone in Spain.

  1668. Because a nation cannot have "aggression" toward itself. Donbas is part of Ukraine. And the conflict in Donbas starting in 2014 was itself an act of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The "rebels" were always largely Russian mercenaries, along with some invading Russian Army units with unmarked uniforms and vehicles (the infamous "little green men"). And Maidan was a popular uprising against a corrupt president who was trying to install himself as dictator.

  1676. The main reason the Royal Navy took as long as it did to make the switch to exclusively oil is that the British Isles have massive coal reserves and not much oil. (The North Sea oilfields had not yet been discovered.) The dreadnoughts and their steam turbine engines that gave them superior speed to preceding battleships required at least some of the boilers to be oil-fired, but abandoning coal entirely left the RN entirely dependent on imported fuel. Ultimately, just before WW1 broke out, they were forced to accept this was necessary because oil is just that much better as a fuel than coal.

  1681. With regard to the G3 and N3 designs...in the event the Washington Naval Treaty hadn't happened, what are the chances that their design would've evolved to move the amidships turret forward and moving the superstructure aft to just in front of the funnels, as was done on the Nelson-class? Given the innately limited firing arcs that a Q turret will always have, that seems like a more efficient location anyway. Though I suppose having one turret separate from the others does have its own advantages, such as guaranteeing that a single hit can't possibly disable all of the guns. With regard to that theoretical Hood with Mogami powerplants? I'm fairly certain that 380,000 shp is more than any ship has ever produced. Not just warships, but ships period. In fact, the 320,000 shp machinery for BB-65-8 (a Montana preliminary to create a 4x3 version of Iowa without losing any speed) is the highest engine output I'm aware of any ship even having been designed with.

  1686. Well they reduced the weight by by a pound and a half compared to the OICW prototype, by using a bolt-action grenade launcher instead of a semi-auto. Well that and the fact developing it a decade later meant the electronic components could be much smaller yet more capable. They also gave it a single selector with positions for safe, 3-round burst, semi-auto, and grenades, instead of two selectors like the OICW. But the most important thing is that Korea completely discarded the moronic idea of trying to make it light enough to be an infantry rifle. The K11 is a squad support weapon, while the majority of Korean infantry carry the conventional K2 rifles. It's fine for the squad's machine gun to be a lot heavier than the rifles, so it's also fine for the grenadier weapon to be heavier. And for the 20mm airburst grenades, apparently they handled the lethality concerns about the smaller grenade by making it a shaped charge. With all of the explosion directed downward, you don't have any of the force or shrapnel wasted by going upward. It all hits whoever's below the grenade when it airbursts.

And HMS Hermes was the first purpose-built aircraft carrier to be designed and laid down, though Japan's Hosho was completed and entered service ahead of her. So it's not at all unreasonable to say that the British invented the aircraft carrier.

  1690. In addition to putting his best troops right up against Sparta's, Epaminondas also stacked those troops ridiculously deep. A typical Greek phalanx was 8 ranks deep. ie each guy on the front line had 7 other soldiers behind him. When phalanxes collided, those ranks would be pushing forward against the backs of the men in front of them, thus combining their strength against the opposing phalanx who did the same. But Epaminondas had the Thebans on the left flank stacked 50 deep. So each 8 Spartans had 50 Thebans pushing against them. This weakened the Thebans' own right flank, but that was up against the conscripted soldiers of Sparta's conquered "allies", who didn't even want to fight. Once the front line on the Spartan right flank started to fall, it was an absolute stampede. And as soon as Sparta's allies saw the Spartans losing, they noped the hell out of there.

  1701. With regard to the Condottieri-class cruisers and whether they earn their way onto to list of world's worst warships...the question is, which ones? The "Condottieri-class cruisers" are actually 5 distinct classes of light cruisers, that get grouped together because there's such a clear line of evolution in them. The Giussano and Cadorna classes were garbage, and a good case can be made that they were the worst Treaty-era cruisers. The Regia Marina was lucky that they only had to operate in the Mediterranean, because their belt armor is so thin I suspect a stiff breeze in the North Atlantic would've penetrated it. The Montecuccoli and Duca d'Aosta classes were quite adequate light cruisers, and the Abruzzi class was excellent.

  1726. You're probably right that the attack on Port Stanley was because Spee figured he was doomed and wanted to just get it over with. But beyond that, I suspect his thinking was that attacking right away would give him the best chance to inflict some damage before he's taken out. Without any ability to do maintenance and refuel, his ships' performance was only going to decline more over time even if he escaped detection. That said, I think once he made the decision to attack Port Stanley, he made two core mistakes. First was bringing the light cruisers with him instead of having them disperse and go commerce raiding or try to run the blockade back to Germany as their captains saw fit. They weren't going to make any difference one way or the other. If Sturdee hadn't arrived yet, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau alone could easily destroy the wireless station. And either way he'd be drawing all the attention onto himself and giving the smaller, faster cruisers time to get out of the area. Second was that he was insufficiently aggressive once he realized there were battlecruisers docked at Port Stanley. It took some time for Sturdee's ships to raise steam. With the battlecruisers' superior speed, this didn't give Spee enough of a head start to matter when trying to flee. It would however have given him time to press the attack while Invincible and Inflexible were still at anchor. Two of Sturdee's cruisers were already under steam as guardships, but Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were more powerful ships and could likely have forced their way to the harbor entrance. And that point, seeing as the entrance of Stanley Harbour is only about 900 feet wide, he could have maneuvered his cruisers so that they're blocking Invincible and Inflexible from leaving. Even after they sink his ships, the wrecks will still have them bottled up for probably several months. And at such close range he might even be able to inflict some real damage on the battlecruisers.

"White guilt" is the modern-day version of calling a person a "race traitor".

And then just like Northrop, they'd get screwed over by the Pentagon and Congress seeking to maximize F-16 export sales and thus reduce its unit cost to the USAF. Though perhaps Grumman's long history with the US Navy would've allowed them to snag that aggressor contract.

  1742. Because the Brooklyns were older and less capable. That's the same reason USS Savannah (which was significantly upgraded after surviving a Fritz X hit in 1943) wasn't among the Brooklyns that got transferred to the South American navies. Argentina really wanted her; they argued that there ought to be a 3:2:2 ratio instead being limited to parity with Brazil and Chile. But the entire reason the US gave those ships to the South Americans (and heavily lobbied Britain to block any sale by Vickers of new-construction cruisers) was to prevent a new South American arms race. But still giving the major South American powers enough of a fleet to deter them from potentially seeking ships from the USSR instead. All of the Clevelands and the remaining two Brooklyns were kept by the US Navy until 1959, at which point all of them that hadn't gone through missile conversion were disposed of.

  1744. Without the Harrier proving its combat effectiveness in the Falklands, I wonder whether the F-35B would be even exist. There's a good chance the war doesn't even happen if a pair of Maltas are in the fleet, since they so dramatically increase the Royal Navy's fighting power that the Argentine junta might not have dared to try. But if they did, it would've been Royal Navy Phantoms that swept the skies of the Argentine Air Force. The Sea Harrier likely wouldn't exist, and there would've been little need to bring RAF Harrier GR.1s to conduct air strikes when the Phantoms and Buccaneers could do the job just fine. With Harriers being seen as simply CAS aircraft for the Marines rather than anybody thinking of them as a fighter, I can see the idea being that the Harrier's replacement doesn't need to be a supersonic multi-role jet and thus being separate from the JSF program.

But he was in poor health (he'd die 2 years later), apparently very tired of being emperor, had no sons, and doubted that his daughter would be accepted as Empress. So he refused to let anybody die fighting to maintain the monarchy and simply walked away into exile. Given how badly Brazil was governed afterward, they probably would've been better either seeing how daughter would be accepted or even just letting his 14-year-old grandson rule.

  1750.  @ThatZenoGuy  The 12.8cm FlaK 40 wasn't available when Bismarck was under construction. It wasn't produced until 1942 (2 years after Bismarck was completed and 1 year after she sank), and that was a land-based AA gun. You'd need additional work to create a naval version with a remote power controlled turret, which IRL was still being worked on in 1945. So that's simply not a viable option for Bismarck's secondary battery. If you want a dual-purpose 12.8cm gun for Bismarck, you'd need do demand development of such a weapon in 1930 when work began on what became the 12.8cm SK C/34 (Germany's standard destroyer gun). You'd really need to just demand that Rheinmetall design a dual-purpose mount before Bismarck had even been ordered if you wanted a dual-purpose gun ready in time for Bismarck. Probably the easiest solution would've been to scale up the turret used for the 10.5cm SK C/33, though that has the disadvantage of being a very maintenance-intensive mounting.

  1755. From what I've read, the RAF rejected the P.106 in favor of what would eventually evolve into the Eurofighter Typhoon as being "half the effectiveness of the two-engined aircraft at two-thirds of the cost". Though given comparisons of the Typhoon vs the Gripen, I think the RAF probably got that backwards. BTW, when it comes to lightweight fighters with an Adour turbofan...did BAE ever give any consideration of adding reheat to the Hawk 200? Or would have been pointless without also completely redesigning the wing for higher speed, thus giving up on the advantage of being a low-cost modification of the Hawk trainer?

  1761. Despite the name "fast battleship", there's a good argument to be made that they're more of an evolution of the battlecruiser concept than they are of the previous slow battleships. Rather than being battleships except faster, they're battlecruisers except without sacrificing any armor. The hull form is closer to a battlecruiser than to a slow battleship, after all.

Meanwhile, Russia has a very clear benefit to be gained right now by preventing Ukraine from crossing the Dnieper. Russia is also the nation that had the opportunity to destroy the dam. It was blown up from the inside. Russia had access to the dam to do that, while Ukraine did not.

  1778.  @TheKingofbrooklin  Had the Germans continued building of Salamis for their own use, there were three potential options. Use the 35cm SK L/45 intended for the Mackensen-class battlecruisers. Buy the similar Škoda 35cm K14 guns intended for the Ersatz Monarch-class battleships from their Austro-Hungarian allies. Or much less likely, go against typical German practice and try to create a 28cm or 30.5cm triple turret that would fit into the barbettes intended for American 14"/45s. But in all cases, the work required to adapt a turret would've been more trouble than it was worth, because Salamis simply wouldn't have been that great a battleship. Her armor was quite thin, especially by German standards, but at only 23 knots she wouldn't have anywhere near the speed needed to operate as a battlecruiser. Had the American turrets and guns been delivered before the outbreak of war, no doubt the High Seas Fleet would've made use of her anyway, because a mediocre dreadnought is better than no dreadnought at all. But Germany had much better ships also under construction, like the above-mentioned Mackensen-class battlecruisers (which would've had the same armament as a completed Salamis adapted to German guns, yet would be 5 knots faster and have 50mm thicker belt armor). Had some extra effort been put into naval construction during WW1, they'd have been much better off trying to get SMS Graf Spee (the closest to completion of the Mackensens) into service.

Hanging your radar under a helicopter seems like it should've only been a stopgap until tilt-rotors were available, but instead it's remained to this day the go-to solution for any carrier that can't launch an E-2 Hawkeye. It makes no sense. An Osprey has better endurance and can fly higher than a Merlin, both such obvious advantages for the AEW role.

It's almost as if killing the Canadian aerospace industry (or at least the military portion of it) was bad for Canada.

  1795. Given that Rodney was able to reach 25 knots (albeit by pushing the hell out of the engines) while chasing Bismarck, how much speed do you think she would've been capable of if refitted in 1944 with more modern machinery? Also, how do you think Nelson and Rodney would've fared if they had been built to the F3 battlecruiser design? She would've ended up with "only" 3x3 15"/50 instead of 3x3 16"/45, but since those would've used the same shells as the existing 15"/42 instead of the questionable relatively lightweight shell chosen for the 16" guns that doesn't seem like much of a downgrade. And by battlecruiser standards the F3 was fairly well protected, and the top speed of 29 knots would've allowed for carrier escort duty..

  1800. That was the premise behind some 1960s tanks like the Leopard 1 and AMX-30. They were armored only against light weaponry because it was presumed that the latest tank guns and ATGMs would defeat any conceivable armor. These days, though, armor has advanced to the point that you can provide good frontal protection against tank guns without impeding the tank's mobility, and hard-kill active protection systems can counter top-attack ATGMs.

  1801. Regarding Mutsu and the Colorados, I think you're a bit mixed up on the timeline. If Japan had agreed to scrap Mutsu, there would only be one Colorado completed, USS Maryland. The other two (Colorado and West Virginia) were completed a full 2 years after Mutsu. And in that case, it's unlikely that Britain would be able to get a provision for any early Treaty battleships, so they get no Nelsons at all, be they O3 or F3 designs. So it could come out to Britain gets to keep Hood grandfathered in, the US gets Maryland, and Japan gets Nagato, and that's it. Which based on the 5:5:3 ratio would be a bit unbalanced in Japan's favor. That said, the US was being incredibly dishonest by putting Mutsu on the list of ships to be scrapped in the first place. The premise was that all capital ships still under construction at the start of the Washington Naval Conference were to be scrapped (with an option of each nation to pick two such ships for conversion into aircraft carriers). But Mutsu was already complete by that time, having been commissioned on October 24, 1921. Three weeks before the conference began on November 12, 1921.

We don't know what happened to the previous inhabitants, and Kanak history doesn't say either. It's not clear whether the Lapita were the ancestors of the Kanak, or a previous group who the Kanak...defeated and colonized.

  1805.  @1977Yakko  There had been multiple warnings that those cruisers shouldn't be used for patrolling the North Sea because they were too vulnerable and no longer combat-effective. But they continued to be sent out anyway because of lack of anything more suitable. The Royal Navy was hoping they'd just hold out until the Arethusa-class light cruisers (which were much faster and thus a difficult target for submarines) were completed. But U-9 wasn't willing to cooperate with that plan.

  1824. Compared to previous Japanese battleships (which had 305mm flat vertical belts), Kii's 15° angled 292mm belt was at least equivalent, probably a slight improvement. And Number 13's 330mm 15° angled belt was a significant upgrade. It's only by comparison to N3's massive belt (18° angled 381mm abreast the magazines and 343mm for the engine spaces) that it seems inadequate, but N3 would've been the most heavily armored ship on Earth if built, right up until Yamato. And N3 would've been a standard slow battleship, while Japan had basically already transitioned to fast battleships starting with the 26.5 knot Nagato (only 1 knot slower than the pre-rebuild Kongos). G3 would've also been better armored with 18° angled 356mm belt for the magazines and 305mm for the engines, and despite the battlecruiser designation was similarly a true fast battleship. But G3 paid for that by having a weaker armament than Number 13.

Its validity is determined by whether the data you collected supports the hypothesis, and whether other scientists can reliably reproduce your results.

  1843. Von Spee also made the mistake of waiting too long before accepting a battle to the death in hopes of letting his smaller ships escape. His best chance would've been to charge at full speed immediately with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau into Port Stanley while Sturdee's squadron was still at anchor. That way even if the British ships managed to get up steam and leave port, they'd essentially have to come at him one at a time. And any ships sunk, either Sturdee's or his own (the latter being the likely outcome had it been Invincible or Inflexible that came out first), would've blocked the channel to the rest of the squadron and allowed his light cruisers all the time in the world to escape.

  1849. And it turned out that there was a lot more work involved that simply removing the 28cm triple turrets and installing 38cm twins. The never-completed refit for Gneisenau also involved replacing the bow again, this time lengthening the ship to account for the added weight of the larger guns.

  1851. In 1940 there were design studies for post-treaty heavy cruisers with 3x3 8-inch guns, comparable to the US Navy's Baltimore-class. And even super-heavy cruisers with 3x3 or even 3x4 9.2-inch guns (it's unclear whether this would've been a new gun design, or the the old 9.2"/47 from WW1 armoured cruisers and coastal artillery batteries). During his time as First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill was the driving force behind the latter concept. But even without treaty limitations, Britain's shipbuilding capacity was finite and there was a large demand for both cruisers and destroyers to patrol their vast empire. The (nominally 8,500 ton) Crown Colony-class cruisers and the follow-up 8,800 ton Minotaur/Swiftsure-class could be built cheaper and in greater numbers than any post-treaty heavy cruiser, so that's what Britain went with. Toward the end of the war, the Royal Navy was looking to build 15,000 ton cruisers, but these would've still been "light" cruisers because they'd successfully developed a dual-purpose 6-inch gun, the QF 6 inch Mark N5. World of Warships players know those designs as Neptune and Minotaur, which were in fact the names the Royal Navy planned to use for them. But then the war ended and the Royal Navy no longer had the budget to afford them. Several of the turrets had already been built, though, so three incomplete Swiftsure-class cruisers were fitted with 2 turrets each as the Tiger-class.

  1872.  @worldtraveler930  I actually have a Ukrainian coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian Navy, which shows Demokratiia on the face. Nor would this be the last time the Ukrainian Navy inherited a large, powerful ship that was partially built and they lacked the funds to complete. Now there's the ex-Soviet missile cruiser Ukrayina. Originally she was likely going to be sold to Russia (which operates her 3 sister ships), but the chances of that happening are now nonexistent. Apparently Brazil is a likely buyer now, since they have ambitions of a large navy and a 12,000 ton hull would have lots of room for replacing the Soviet-era weaponry with more modern stuff.

  1873. If the US went on to annex Central America as well, the Darién Gap in Panama is nearly impassable, so there'd barely be any need to even have a Border Patrol. The marshland and rain forest would keep everybody out. Plus once the Panama Canal was built that would be yet another impassable barrier.

  1874.  @richardcutts196  Here's something I found about Brazilian dreadnoughts. https://stefsap.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/the-brazilian-dreadnoughts-1904-1914/ I would suggest Armstrong 788 (the largest of the 5x2 15-inch Riachuelo designs) as the Tier 7, and Armstrong 685A (a Rio de Janeiro proposal with 5x2 16-inch) as the basis for the Tier 8. Another, quirkier option for Tier 7 would be Armstrong 686, which was kind of a throwback to the pre-dreadnought era with 4x2 16-inch and 3x2 9.4-inch turrets, by far the largest-caliber secondaries I've ever seen proposed for a dreadnought. So as I expected, the hardest thing would be to come up with remotely authentic-looking Tier 9 and 10 BBs. I suppose a fake Argentine BB could be a frankenship with elements from multiple nations' designs, since that's kind of how the Rivadavia-class BBs came about. A fake Chilean BB would need to be very British in design, because Chile consistently bought their warships from British yards.

  1877. @Proud Patriot Nobody has seen "the indisputable video of election fraud in GA", because the video all of you loons are touting does not in fact contain any evidence of fraud. Just because the video has a voiceover claiming that fraud is happening does not make it so. The woman doing the voiceover is lying about what's happening in the video. The video does not in fact show "suitcases" of ballots hidden under a table, nor does it show any votes being counted at all. It simply shows the poll workers doing their jobs and removing the ballots from their envelopes.

  1884.  @nigeltheoutlaw  The purpose of .30 Super Carry was to be able to have higher capacity in narrow-frame pistols, while still having a serious self-defense round and not a mouse gun. 7.62 Tokarev can't do that. Any gun chambered in Tokarev will have the exact same mag capacity as 9mm. You'll get a flatter shooting round that penetrates better, but those aren't the overriding concerns for a concealed carry pistol. You'll get higher muzzle energy, but that's not strictly necessary since most people consider 9mm JHP to be sufficient.

  1885.  @undead.rising  Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey did make up a "world leader" exemption to Twitter's rules to explain away Trump not being banned.

  1909. This is a massively dishonest article and you damned well know it. Literally no one has suggested that Cruz could catch up with Trump. And the actual delegate gap between Clinton and Sanders is 216, not 194. Also you keep bringing up the superdelegates switching from Clinton to Obama in 2008, but the largest lead Clinton ever had in 2008 was 33 delegates. By this point in the 2008 primaries, Obama already had a lead over a hundred delegates. And Sanders does not in fact have any way of catching up. The reason his recent wins have been dismissed as not mattering is because they don't matter. You can't just pretend that all states are equally important. Your bullshit meme that media is saying the states Sanders has won don't count because they're "weird" is just something you pulled out of your ass. The reality is that those states are dismissed as irrelevant because they're small. No one cares who wins Idaho or Alaska or Hawaii because they barely have any delegates. And since there are no winner-take-all states in the Democratic primaries, Sanders would need over 56% all the remaining pledged delegates to catch up. That's a number that he'd be unlikely to reach even if he won every remaining state, which is something he won't do. Oh, and where the heck are you coming up with this "8 of the last 9 states" for Sanders? There have only been 8 states that voted over the last month, with Sanders winning 7 of them. And it can't be including states from before March 22, because that's when Clinton had a 6 state (or 7 if the non-state caucus in the Northern Marianas is counted) winning streak.

  1960. This environmental impact study is correct in its assessment that approving Keystone XL wouldn't increase CO2 emissions. As long as there are buyers for their tar sands oil, TransCanada will find a way to get it to market. If Keystone XL is rejected, they'll use existing pipelines and trains, or they'll build a pipeline entirely in Canada. Those are more expensive options for them, but oil prices are still high enough that it would be profitable. The problem with this environmental impact study is that in the case of Keystone XL, CO2 emissions are beside the point. The environmental impact we have to worry about is the potential for having the largest, most damaging oil spill in history, right in the middle of the Ogallala Aquifer.

No doubt he realized that without the army to back him, his attempts at totalitarianism were doomed and he would face prosecution not only for ordering murders but also for embezzlement of national funds and other acts of corruption. Then Putin took advantage of the chaos by launching his "green man" invasion of Crimea, and held a sham referendum at gunpoint that was not only illegal under Ukraine's constitution (which requires any changes to the nation's borders to be approved by a vote of the entire nation) but didn't even include an option to remain part of Ukraine.

  2032. These late pre-treaty Japanese battleships were intended to carry 610mm torpedo tubes. At the time this would've been the Type 8 torpedo. These would've been mounted in casemates, so they would have comparable armor protection to the secondary battery. As far as whether torpedoes are an effective weapon? No battleship ever sank anything with a torpedo, and there's only one instance of a battleship claiming a hit with its torpedoes (Rodney vs Bismarck). Torpedoes fired by cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and torpedo boats certainly did sink a lot of ships, though. The fact that far more torpedoes missed than hit isn't really important. The same is true of shells fired by one ship at another. At the ranges naval battles are fought, you fully expect the majority of shots fired with any weapon to miss.

Because for Germany, "foreign policy" includes EU membership. What's even harder for us Americans to understand than Germany's system of coalition governments is how important the European Union is to its member states. When two parties fundamentally disagree about whether their nation should even be in the EU, it's impossible for them to form a workable coalition. It's not a perfect analogy (since Germany is a nation in its own right, not state within a larger nation), but for Germany to leave the EU would be a lot like a state seceding from the United States.

Whether that actually would've been a better choice, I don't know. An "F-14E" could've gotten all of the same weapon systems and avionics as the Super Hornet, but it also would've been more expensive airframe and they probably wouldn't have been able to buy as many of them.

  2068. I wasn't aware that British BL 18"/40 Mk I was relined as a 16"/45 testbed. I was however aware that the US Navy did the same thing with the single prototype barrel of the 18"/48 Mark 1. When the Washington Naval Treaty put an end to any notion of 18" guns on a warship, they relined it to create the 16"/56 Mark 4, to test out the performance of a very high velocity gun. In 1938, when treaty restrictions ceased to be relevant, the threaded tip that held the 16" lining in place was cut off and it became the 18"/47 Mark A, which tested a super-heavy 18" AP shell, weighing in at a whopping 3,850 pounds. (Though honestly I'm slightly disappointed they didn't test out a full 2-ton shell, because that would've been hilarious.)

Yamato was the only modern BB Kurita had, and the fact that Kongos were no match for the North Carolina and South Dakota classes, let alone Iowas, was well established.

  2073. I would say that Spee's best chance would've been to charge the entrance of Stanley Harbour with his armored cruisers and have his light cruisers hang back, and then flee if things go badly. Best-case scenario would be that he manages to sink one of the British light cruisers as they'leaving the harbor, which would bottle up the rest of the ships until the wreck could be cleared. Worst-case, of course, would be if one or both of his ACRs start taking 12-inch shell hits. In that case, if at all possible he should've tried to get them into the harbor entrance and block it up that way. Spee ultimately tried to sacrifice his ACRs to give the rest of his squadron an opportunity to escape anyway, and doing it this way would've given him a better chance. His ships were slower than the British ones, so initially attempting to flee was a mistake.

  2086.  @Edax_Royeaux  Hood's refit would've expanded the 12" belt's height, but also would've removed a lot of the extraneous bits of distributed armor. So despite being better-armored where it counts afterward, Hood might have lost weight in the refit.

  2087.  @Edax_Royeaux  The actual reason that the Kongos were classified as fast battleships was that they'd previously been classified as simply "battleships" after their rather half-assed 1928-31 refit. That much less comprehensive refit simply added some armor (thicker barbettes, turret roof, and main deck) and torpedo bulges, while the machinery was unchanged. This reduced their speed to below 26 knots, whereas the Nagatos had a top speed of 26.5 knots. A battlecruiser that's slower than battleships is just silly, so the Kongos were reclassified as battleships. (Almost as silly as Japan's retroactive creation of the "pre-dreadnought battlecruiser" by reclassifying their 12" armed armored cruisers of the Tsukuba and Ibuki classes as battlecruisers in 1912.) So in effect, the Kongos from 1928 until their 1934-40 rebuilds were second-class battleships. Those latter rebuilds brought them back to being proper battlecruisers, since lengthening the hull and installing more powerful machinery boosted their speed all the way to 30.5 knots. A little additional deck armor was added over the magazines and the torpedo protection was improved, but once again the belt remained unchanged at 8 inches. So why did the IJN call them fast battleships instead of battlecruisers at this point? Simple: the IJN in the interim had abolished the classification of battlecruiser because the no longer had any.

  2088. Quite a few dreadnoughts with echelon turrets look to the naked eye as if they shouldn't have room to rotate those turrets around for cross-deck fire. For example, I'd long assumed that the España-class must've been incapable of cross-deck fire because of the long barrels of their 12"/50 guns, but apparently that was not the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Espana_class_line-drawing,_Brassey_1911.png Looking at the diagram, I would presume they had to bring the guns to maximum elevation (or at least near it) in order to clear the funnel. That's the thing to remember with a lot of these ships; elevating the guns can sometimes allow the turret to turn further. Even with the flying bridge, that was still an option for Colossus as well.

Bush was a naval aviator with a distinguished war record, so it makes some sense for him to have a carrier named after him. Gerald Ford also served on a carrier in WW2, so...eh. I guess. But in general, I disapprove of naming the CVNs after Presidents.

And for all his many shortcomings, Zeus actually cares at least a bit about his kids, so Hera was hurting him by hurting them. At any rate, I can understand why Zeus would want to pass the buck on judging a beauty contest between his wife, his favorite daughter, and his aunt (or another daughter depending on which myth you prefer) who would objectively be the winner on account of beauty being her literal superpower.

  2106. The US Navy pretty clearly stuck with the Standard Type paradigm of 21 knot type speed for about 5 years too long, with the Queen Elizabeth and Nagato classes obviously having a large tactical advantage from their superior speed. The US Navy seems to have figured this out (at least to an extent) since the 1920 South Dakota-class was upgraded to 23 knots. But during the building holiday of the Washington Naval Treaty, they never tried to increase the speed of the Standards. I was wondering, without doing an obscenely expensive refit that lengthened the hulls, exactly how much extra speed would it even have been possible to get out of the Standard Types?

Had Britain been in sudden desperate need of more battleships, obviously building what was essentially a slightly better Queen Elizabeth would be an obvious choice.

  2120. Coming back to this though, if the US had been allowed to complete South Dakota under the WNT, Japan and Britain would have demanded more compensation in return. Such as Britain getting to build a 3rd Nelson and Japan getting to keep Tosa. Given that SoDak would be so far above the Treaty limit (even moreso than Tosa and even slightly heavier than Hood), I could also see a provision to allow her completion requiring a weight reduction. That could result in changes like reducing the machinery to only match the 21 knot speed of the Standards and replacing some of the 16" triple turrets with twins.

Bernie isn't a candidate anymore, so how well he would've done in the general election is moot.. Bernie's a lot smarter than you, King Lear is Dead. He knows this. He knows that Biden is the one who will be on the ballot in November, and that defeating Trump is paramount.

  2131.  @hs5312  For starters, buy from Bofors. It wasn't until 1943 that Germany started putting any 40mm Bofors on their ships. Not all of the Germany 37mm AA guns were bad, but the most common one (the 3.7cm SK C/30) was terrible. If Germany had simply bought the 40mm Bofors in the late 1930s, that would've vastly improved their ships' AA. The other important thing to do would be stop using single-purpose secondary batteries. Germany can't design a 12.8cm dual-purpose gun any sooner than they did historically, I'd just delete the 15cm guns from the Scharnhorst and Bismarck classes and replace them with additional 10.5cm SK C/33 mounts. A 105mm gun isn't going to be very good against surface ships, but you have the main guns for that.

  2176. I had no idea that the original planned armament was 4x 30mm ADEN. That would've made so much more sense than 8x .50 cal.

Since that was already a proven weapon and already in use by Canada on the RCAF's Sea Fury fighters. This is also the first I'd heard of T-160 20mm cannons being tested on the Canuck.

  2179. 1:22 That so-called "deal on the table in 2022 that they didn't take" was basically just Russian annexation of Ukraine with extra steps. The "deal" would've required the disbanding of the Ukrainian military, and Ukraine having to cede control of all their foreign policy decisions to Russia. Thus, Ukraine would be a complete Russian vassal state. And when Russia at a later date decided that they wanted to go all the way with annexing Ukraine, the demilitarization required in that "deal" would've made Ukraine completely unable to fight back. That's why Ukraine walked away from the table and effectively told Russia to fuck off with that "deal". The narrative that this was some reasonable deal to end the war peacefully is pure Kremlin propaganda.

Nicholas II could've kept the absolute monarchy intact, or at least created a pseudo-constitutional monarchy in which the emperor is still capable of exercising great power (like what Germany and Japan had). So long as he just did a little for to make workers' and peasants' lives better, like what Wilhelm I and Bismarck had done in 19th century Germany. Make reforms that are just enough to undercut the appeal of the radicals, without actually giving up any power. But Nicholas II didn't have a Bismarck to give him that kind of advice, and he certainly wasn't astute enough a politician to figure it out on his own.

It's not very likely that an agricultural society existed much earlier than we're already aware of, because even if the location of the city itself was no underwater, agriculture alters the environment in ways that we'd be able to notice. It is however entirely possible that a society was building large stone structures even earlier than Boncuklu Tarla and Gobekli Tepe. Such a society would have been more advanced than its peers, while still not being some ancient sci-fi Atlantis.

  2222. Regarding the Nelson-class, it seems to me that the F3 design would've been much more useful than the O3 that was actually chosen for production. The armament would've been 15"/50 rather than 16"/45 guns, but given the design flaws of the British 16" shell (whereas the 15"/50 would've used the same excellent shells as the existing 15"/42) this wouldn't really have been a downgrade and would've simplified logistics by moving toward standardization on a single main gun caliber throughout the entire fleet. 12" belt armor inclined at 72° and 3.5-7" deck armor is still very good protection. But 28.5 knot top speed would be a massive improvement over the Nelsons' 23 knots, even it wouldn't keep pace with Hood and the Renowns.

  2235. Regarding Yamato's 5-inch secondary guns...bear in mind that the Japanese used a completely different gun on their battleships and cruisers than they did on destroyers. Destroyers carried the 12.7cm/50 3rd Year Type, which from the Ayanami-class onward were given high enough elevation to be nominally dual-purpose, but were really bad at it. Battleships and cruisers, on the other hand, used the 12.7cm/40 Type 89, which was designed as a pure AA gun. "Dual-purpose" capability for it was purely incidental, simply a result of 1.9kg of Shimose powder being adequate to damage unarmored surface targets too. Six twin turrets per side (incidentally, what the real Yamato ended up after her final refit, so very much doable if the 15.5cm triple turrets had never been part of the design) is therefore a pretty decent heavy AA battery. Not as good as the US battleships achieve with five twin turrets per side, because the 5"/38 is just plain better than the 12.7cm/40 (higher rate of fire, better velocity, better fire control system), but above average for the 1930s.

  2250. Well retiring them so soon made perfect sense. Even if they had been built to the X4 design, they still would've been obsolete a decade later on account of the inefficient turret layout and the fact that 12" guns had been completely left in the dust by 15" and 16" guns.

  2251. The F-5 really should've been given wider use in Vietnam. The use that it got (at least in American hands) was in the ground attack role and only by a single squadron, and this was done purely to boost export sales of the F-5 by making it combat-proven. The fact that it would've been able to out-dogfight the MiG-21 was never accounted for, because the USAF at the time simply didn't want a lightweight fighter.

  2291.  @ozone-xv7hk  If the shell that took out Hood had simply missed, or if the fuse had failed like the one that penetrated Prince of Wales below the waterline, there's a very good chance that they would've stopped Bismarck. The firepower being brought to bear by Hood and PoW wasn't that much less than what Rodney and King George V delivered three days later. Thanks to poor design decisions for the Nelson-class's guns, the 16-inch AP Mk IB shell didn't actually hit harder Hood's 15-inch AP Mk XIIIa. The 16-inch shell had a bursting charge of 23.2kg of TNT, while the 15-inch had 22kg of Shellite. In addition to this being a mere 1.2kg difference in explosive mass, Shellite is a slightly more powerful explosive than TNT. As such, the only advantages of the British 16-inch guns over the older 15-inch were flatter trajectory and better penetration. But at the range that Hood and Bismarck were fighting, that was pretty much a non-issue. The ships were less than 14km apart, and Hood's guns were entirely capable of penetrating Bismarck's 320mm belt at that range. The only significant different in firepower for Hood compared to Rodney was that Hood had 8 guns to Rodney's 9. There was certainly enough firepower on hand to cripple Bismarck. And there's no doubt that Lutjens would've tried to flee if the battle was going poorly for him. Hood and PoW being to his south, this would've mean turning around and trying to get back to Norway. Bismarck was faster than both Hood and PoW, so the big question would be whether the damage taken in the opening stages would slow her down enough to negate that advantage. Especially since Hood and PoW weren't going to come out unscathed either and might also be slowed by flooding. But turning north also would've left Bismarck heading in the direction of Norfolk and Suffolk, allowing the cruisers to get involved in the battle.

The 40 knot rumors are probably an exaggeration, but it's possible she was faster than 35 knots.

And if the Hi-Power was in 9.65mm, how widely accepted would that round have become? Would it have resulted in the Hi-Power being less successful on the export market, or would it have resulted in the 9.65mm round becoming the world standard instead of 9mm?

  2330.  @OrdinaryEXP  The thing about Vanguard is that she wasn't a ship with any glorious history. She literally never saw combat (she was available for Korea but wasn't used in the war). There were some calls to preserve Vanguard, but the fact is that she was notable only for what she was (the last battleship), while a surviving Hood would've also been famous for what she did. In addition to having been the symbol of Royal Navy power for decades, she would've sunk the Bismarck. It's also possible that she instead of Duke of York would've been sent to take down Scharnhorst. Hood would have the additional advantage in terms of getting support for preservation that she's simply beautiful. So if she lasted to 1960 like Vanguard did IRL, there's some chance of it happening.

  2343. If there were no Revenge class and 4 additional Queen Elizabeths, that would also mean that Britain gets to keep one additional capital ship of another class under the Washington Naval Treaty. Most likely that would be Lion or Princess Royal. This would in turn also mean that Britain gets to keep one additional ship when the London Naval Treaty causes the next round of scrapping. Which probably means Tiger gets to survive into WW2. A refitted Tiger would essentially give the Royal Navy a better version of the Kongos. She'd be an ideal ship for escorting CVs and hunting German commerce raiders. (I've always liked Tiger and found it unfortunate she didn't last to get a Renown-style refit. Which interestingly enough probably would've involved replacing the 13.5" guns with 14" had she lasted in WW2. The British 14" guns were actually designed to be able to work in the 13.5" turrets, because at one point there was consideration of using the demilitarized training ship Iron Duke to test fire them.)
    3
  2344. Now if it was the Renown and Courageous classes that got cancelled while all 4 Admirals were built, that would indeed give 4 very large and powerful capital ships with tonnage well beyond the treaty limits to get grandfathered in. At the same time, the raw number of capital ships in British service would have to be less because the limit was a combined 525,000 tons for all British capital ships. Hood's full 42,670 ton standard displacement counted toward Britain's limit, and the same would be true of her 3 sister ships. Which probably would've been slightly heavier due to improvements made to their design before they were cancelled. While this would have some obvious disadvantages (fewer hulls to spread around, while the Empire hasn't gotten any smaller), it was really only in terms of cruisers that Britain was looking to build relatively smaller ships than other nations in order to achieve greater numbers. When it comes to sending capital ships around the Empire, 4 Admiral class would actually be ideal due to their greater speed allowing them to get across the empire in less time. However, one issue is that the British might not get the concession to build the Nelson class. That concession of being able to build 2 battleships during the "building holiday" was to compensate for Japan keeping Mutsu and the US keeping Colorado and West Virginia. The Royal Navy didn't have any of their own partially completed capital ships at the time that could similarly be allowed to finish, and also lacked any 16-inch gun vessels. But if they've got 4 43,000 ton behemoths with 15" guns instead of just 1 like in reality, I doubt Japan and America would be so willing to let the Royal Navy also build 2 new BBs while nobody else is allowed to. Another thing this scenario brings up is, what would be the impact on British aircraft carrier development? Furious in particular was fairly important to the Royal Navy's early development in that field. On the other hand, even with resources freed up by not building the Renowns I'm not sure if it would actually have been possible, given when construction on the class started, to have all 4 Admirals already complete by the time the treaty negotiations began. In which case a likely scenario is that in addition to Hood, only Rodney gets completed as a battlecruiser while Anson and Howe potentially get converted into aircraft carriers. In which case this is actually very beneficial to to Royal Navy aircraft carrier development, since they get their own counterpart to the American Lexington class. In reality the Royal Navy was unable to take advantage of the treaty provision that allowed conversion of incomplete capital ships into 33,000 ton carriers (the limit on carrier size otherwise being 27,000 tons) the way America and Japan did, because they lacked any suitable hulls under construction to convert (the G3 class had only been ordered, never laid down, and it might not have been possible to reduce such a large ship's displacement all the way down to 33,000 tons anyway). But if a pair of half-built Admiral class are sitting there on the slipways, that becomes an incredibly obvious choice.

  2347. The USSR did get something very comparable to the F-111 in the form of the Su-24. And they didn't need a swing-wing interceptor to be an F-14 counterpart, since the fixed-wing MiG-31 filled that role (albeit far more of a pure interceptor than the F-14). Though in both cases, they came nearly a decade later than their American equivalents. As for a smaller single-engine dogfighter, well China proved that there was still some more room for evolution of the MiG-21 in that regard. If they'd kept working on improvements beyond the MiG-21bis, it's possible that something akin to the J-7E could've appeared in the 70s instead of the late 80s. Assuming the double-delta wing concept would've occurred to anybody at Mikoyan OKB, that is.

Ireland isn't remote at all, they've just let their military atrophy under the assumption that nobody would ever want to attack them.

Essentially, what defines a pre-dreadnought is that it's built and armored with steel, and has its main guns in modern-style turrets (meaning, a barbette with a armored casing on top) rather than the Coles and Erickson pattern turrets of the ironclad era turret ships. A dreadnought is simple enough: it dispenses with the large-caliber secondary guns of pre-dreadnoughts in favor of a uniform main battery. IIRC no dreadnoughts ever carried a secondary gun larger in caliber than 6 inches. They almost all had 12-inch main guns (with the exception of the initial German dreadnoughts, with 11-inch guns). There was also the transitional "semi-dreadnoughts", which used only big guns but not of uniform caliber (meaning there were no intermediate 6-inch, 8-inch etc guns in the secondary battery; they had 12-inch main guns and 10-inch or 9.2-inch secondaries). And this is where the super-dreadnoughts came in. Super-dreadnoughts are defined by their larger guns. The first of these, HMS Orion with 13.5-inch main guns entered service exactly 5 years and 1 month after HMS Dreadnought, and was 25% heavier and in terms of the weight of shells that could be fired in a broadside had double Dreadnought's firepower. This was considered almost as big a leap in battleship design as Dreadnought herself. And the size and firepower kept increasing from there, right up until the Washington Naval Treaty temporarily halted battleship construction.

  2380. If Wargaming still had any interest in low-tier ships, it'd be quite easy to add Desaix (of the Dupleix-class small armored cruisers, armed with 4x2 164.7mm guns ) at Tier 2 and Edgar Quinet at Tier 4. Since they have uniform main batteries and thus wouldn't need any special mechanics to be viable. Similarly, Scharnhorst '06 and Blücher strike me as workable Tier 4 and Tier 5 cruisers. Preferably as part of a tech tree "large cruiser" line for the German tech tree that would include Deutschland at Tier 6, D-class at Tier 7, the late 3-turret D-class (immediately before their full redesign into the Scharnhorst-class battleships) at Tier 8, and an O-class variant at Tier 9. At Tier 10, there's a fairly obscure paper ship called KW45 that would work. (The Russian-language version of Wargaming's wiki used to have a lot of pages hidden on it with all sorts of information about both real and paper ships. They were all deleted last year, presumably a result of WG cutting its ties with the Russian studio, but most of it's still archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20210714163133/https://wiki.wargaming.net/ru/Navy:%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82_%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0_%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BC%D1%8B_Kriegsmarinewerft_1939_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0 ) And honestly I think the British 9.2-inch gun is strong enough that ships like Georgios Averof and Minotaur '06 could work as Tier 5 cruisers even with only 4 guns, so long as the secondary batteries got gimmicked out with good range and accuracy and SAP shells. Or better yet if WG was willing to make the 190mm guns also player controlled, so you could just switch to the secondaries during the main gun reload. But that's more effort than they're likely to be willing to put forth for something that would only be applicable for low-tier ships.

Probably worked that way in the British and French zones too, since those countries didn't yet have their current ultra-restrictive laws on gun ownership.

  2423.  Feeds Ravens  There have been only a handful of major changes in the US electoral system, all of them long before 1949 when the Basic Law of Germany was written. In 1804 the presidential election system was changed to reduce the likelihood of a tie and remove the rather bizarre arrangement where the 2nd-place candidate became Vice President. And in 1913 the Senate became directly elected instead of appointed by state legislatures. And in both cases this only changed how the elections are handled (likewise for the amendments that gave non-whites and women the right to vote in 1870 and 1920). The fundamental structure of the US federal government hasn't changed since 1788. Personally, I think the problem is that when the US Constitution was being written, they were deliberately trying to to avoid replication of the parliamentary system of Britain, since that was the nation they'd just successfully rebelled against. Which was a mistake, because a parliamentary system encourages broad-based coalitions rather than creating a system where there's only room for 2 major parties.

It creates completely artificial perceptions of "momentum" that drives the fundraising and gives whoever wins in early states the biggest chance of getting the nomination. Why can't we just have a Democratic primary that's decided purely by democracy? No schedule, no delegates, just a nationwide election day and whoever gets a majority is the winner.

  2453. Ostensibly, such import restrictions were supposed to be about making the imported guns less suitable for criminal use.

Or a bayonet murder of any kind, for that matter? That said, from a purely constitutional basis, I don't think there's any valid issue to raise against import bans. They're annoying, but the 2nd Amendment clearly only applies inside US borders. Congress very much has the power under the Constitution to regulate what can be imported, even if the regulations they impose are stupid. There's nothing in the Constitution requiring that the laws Congress passes must be smart. If there were, a lot more laws would be getting struck down on those grounds.

Being illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Maybe this comes as a shock to you, but people break the law. And maybe this also didn't occur to you, but when an employer does this, they don't tell the woman that she's getting paid less than her male co-workers who have the same job and the same seniority.

  2478.  @ykonoclast2851  There would sometimes be situations where the back side of a turret could be taking direct fire, but the reason for it to be thicker than the front armor was as a counterweight to keep the turret properly balanced. You'll occasionally see other battleships designed with unusually thick armor on the backs of their turrets. Whether this is considered necessary would presumably have a lot to do with the overall size and shape of the turrets. For example, you'll find that on a lot of battleships, the back end of each turret would have a significant overhand past the barbette that it sits on, which also provides counterweight without the need for excessively thick armor on the least likely part of the turret to get shot.

  2488. The filibuster exists because the Senate is a fundamentally asinine body. People who want to keep it in place pretend that it's some grand tradition, but in reality it was created completely by accident. And the Senate didn't actually realize they had created a rule that would allow filibusters until decades later. When this was discovered, the filibuster was used primarily to prevent anti-slavery bills from ever getting to the floor for a vote. That is the "grand tradition" of the filibuster.

  2491. There's no evidence that it was open magazine doors that caused Hood's loss. It wasn't a turret penetration with open flash doors like what happened to the Jutland battlecruisers. The most likely cause of the loss was that a 38cm shell went directly into Hood's aft 5.5" magazine and exploded right against the bulkhead separating it from the 15" magazine, detonating both of them. This was either the result of a belt penetration (the range was short enough that deck penetration by plunging fire would've been impossible), or a shell with a defective detonator going underwater and penetrating below the belt before exploding.

But with Haguro's after-action report saying that it was bombs that crippled Choukai, that's the more likely cause of her torpedo rack detonating.

  2511.  @heinzdoof1575  The "Hindu" caste system in form known today doesn't actually originate from Hinduism. It's a creation of the British colonial administration. They took what was previously a looser concept of castes (not all that different from how class stratification develops in every society) and made it a much more rigid system. This was one of the ways the British divided the Indian people in order to prevent any unified rebellion from developing. They also deemed some Indian ethnic groups to be "martial races" who were to be used as colonial troops but always kept uneducated so they wouldn't be able to command armies. While other races that the British deemed "more intellectual" and less loyal to the colonizers were to be kept out of the military and derided as cowards so that nobody would follow them. And then when Britain left India, they opted to divide it into two nations (one of them, Pakistan, not even being contiguous, which would cause massive problems for what later seceded to become Bangladesh) on purely religious lines between Muslim and Hindu regions. Completely ignoring the Sikh religion, and also ignoring regions like Bengal with a long history of identifying more on the basis of shared ethnicity than religion. All because once they decided they were through with colonialism, Britain just wanted to abandon the mess they'd created as quickly as possible and leave it purely the Indians' problem to solve.

  2516. ​ @stevepi1  Gunners didn't aim at weak spots on warships in these battles, the guns didn't have the degree of accuracy needed to do that at the engagement ranges involved. They basically aimed for center of mass of the ship because that maximized the chances of hitting the ship at all. And no, all hits are not the same. A penetrating hit to the turret would have no chance of destroying an entire capital ship if proper safety procedures were followed. The worst-case in a turret penetration should have been the destruction of just the turret in question, not the entire ship. And that would've been the case had the flash doors not all been left open or even outright removed in a reckless attempt to increase rate of fire. None of the German battlecruisers went up in flames as the result of a turret penetration. Nor did any of the battleships on either side. That's not because British battlecruisers were the only ones to take turret damage. For example, SMS Seydlitz (also a battlecruiser) took four direct penetrating hits to three different turrets. Propellant was detonated, but the flash did not reach the magazines and the ship survived. It's because the unsafe ammunition handling practices were unique to Beatty's battlecruisers.

  2559. If the design had been thought out better, they could've just used 4 twin turrets instead of those ridiculous double-stack casemates. But the use of turrets at all came very late in the design process. The design that'd been selected had only the lower casemate guns, and each casemate mount had an open mount for another 6" gun above it on the roof. Plus a pair of open mounts for 6" guns amidships. But this 5-gun broadside considered a fairly pathetic for a 7,000 ton ship. The British C-class cruisers (at least the Caldeon, Ceres, and Carlisle subclasses) were 2,000 tons lighter yet had the same 5-gun broadside. The open mounts were also considered too vulnerable. So the design was revised with double-stack casemates and the empty deck space forward and aft was used for the twin turrets. And the amidships 6" mounts were replaced by the 3" AA guns. Still a quite inefficient layout, but at least the 8-gun broadside was equal to or better than that of other scout cruisers of the era.

  2563. Besides, regarding the Deutschland-class being easily overhauled by a British battlecruiser, the Germans were fully aware of that fact. They were simply counting on the fact that the Atlantic Ocean is a really big place, so they were willing to risk the idea that among their potential enemies, only 3 ships were fast enough to both catch and kill the Deutschlands. Besides, the Reichsmarine had (quite correctly) deemed a naval war against Britain to be impossible to win anyway, and thus was focused on building a fleet to fight France. Which is why after Dunkerque was designed (specifically to counter the Deutschlands), Scharnhorst was in turn designed with the specific goal of surpassing Dunkerque, and Bismarck was designed to content with Richelieu. (Though in the latter case, my money would be on Richelieu in a 1-on-1 fight.)

Just because its job isn't to fight tanks doesn't mean it won't have to fight tanks. The 120mm gun is just a better choice. The most bizarre part about this competition isn't that the GDLS Griffin was the design chosen to be the M10, it's that the CV90120 (or CV90105, which also exists, given the insistence on a 105mm gun) wasn't even a competitor. BAE offered an upgraded version of the M8 AGS instead.

  2581. As I recall, the Kongos were actually first redesignated as battleships not after their major refits in the 1930s, but after their late 1920s refits. Because in those much smaller refits, deck armor was added but nothing was done with their machinery. This cut their top speed to 25.9 knots, which made them too slow to be battlecruisers. After all, Nagato was capable of 26.5 knots. Having battlecruisers that are slower than your battleships would just be silly. So at that point, they're considered to just be poorly-armored battleships. This also explains why, around 1930 whenJapan was looking to replace the Kongos with treaty-compliant new construction instead of rebuilding them, almost all of Hiraga's "Kongo replacement" designs were for 25 to 26.5 knot battleships and not 30+ knot battlecruisers. And when the 1930s rebuilds happened, the Kongos were designated as "fast battleships" rather than battlecruisers, because Japan had simply stopped using the latter designation.

  2582. With regard to the missile conversions of WW2 cruisers, I can't really say that the Terrier and Tartar missile systems they tested could in any way be considered a failure, since those were developed directly into the Standard missile series that the US Navy still uses almost 70 years later. The initial versions might've had plenty of shortcomings, but the potential for continued upgrades proved to be enormous. If not for budget cuts preventing them for getting the updated electronics to operate Standard ER, the Terrier conversions like Boston and Canberra could've easily stayed in active service into the 1980s. Talos did prove to be more of a dead end, but in the short run it was the first SAM to shoot down an enemy plane in real combat, and its large warhead meant it was actually a decent SSM too.

  2585. Probably politics. There had been a considerable rivalry between Jellicoe and Beatty, and between the supporters of each admiral. They had both just recently died when the KGV-class were being built, and many of their supporters were still alive. As such, there'd be controversy about whether each man actually deserved to have a ship named after them. Even more if only one and not the other got that honor. Also, royal assent is required for the ships' names, so it's possible that it was King George VI who intervened to have them given "safer" names (Baron Anson died in 1762 and Earl Howe in 1799). It is known that at least twice, George VI rejected Winston Churchill's desire to name a battleship after Oliver Cromwell (not being a fan of having the Royal Navy name a ship after the guy who killed one of the previous kings), so he did actually pay attention to such things.

Treaty-compliant BBs of other nations had similar or better armament with similar speed and similar or better armor, so there was little reason to suspect that Germany was lying about the displacement. That's standard displacement, BTW. Which is what the treaty limits were based on. Her real standard displacement was 41,000 tons and full load 49,500.

  2602.  @trevor_corey8037  The problem with this logic is that NATO is already right on Russia's border, and has been for decades. Norway, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are all NATO nations that directly border Russia. Also, if preventing Russia's neighbors from joining NATO was Putin's real goal (as opposed to simply destroying Ukraine as a nation because its very existence outside of Russia offends him), everything he's done has backfired. Ukraine had zero interest in NATO until after Russia seized Crimea and started a so-called "rebellion" in Donbas. Now Ukraine desperately wants to join NATO. And Finland (which has rejected NATO membership for as long as NATO has existed) is more likely than ever to join, as is Sweden. And if Mexico decided to enter a military alliance with Russia, they'd be allowed to do so. The US would not invade to stop them.

  2654. That 28 knots compares pretty well to the 29 knot Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates. Which despite not originally being intended for that role, the Perrys were often assigned to carrier battle groups and the Iowas' surface action groups. And Drachinifel mentioned the possibility that Montana could've seen a more extensive refit replacing the aft turrets with a large missile battery. If that had been done it would've involved removing 3,500 tons from the turrets alone, plus whatever the weight of the barbettes was, and replacing them with missile launchers that weigh a lot less. And the missiles themselves would also probably weigh less than the nearly 1,000 tons worth of 16" shells that would no longer be carried in the aft magazines. Even for a ship that huge, we're talking about probably more than a 5% reduction in total weight. That's going to result in at least some increase in speed, possibly enough to cross the 30 knot threshold.

  2666. I'm fairly certain the the torpedoes fired by I-19 weren't Long Lances, because like all 1st-class submarines of the IJN she had standard 533mm torpedo tubes and not the larger 610mm used on their cruisers and larger destroyers. Not even the gigantic I-400 class submarines had 610mm torpedo tubes. The Type 95 torpedo used by Japanese submarines was basically a miniature version of the Type 93 Long Lance (using the same compressed oxygen propulsion and a larger warhead than most nations' torpedoes), but it's not the same torpedo.

  2669. I'd never heard of the US Navy having an interest in the German battlecruisers and light cruisers. I wouldn't have expected them to want to deal with all that non-standard machinery and guns. And guns are among the most expensive parts of a warship, so converting them wouldn't exactly be cheap. (And reusing 12" guns from pre-dreadnoughts as they were retired would've meant a downgrade to shorter barreled guns for a Derfflinger. Reusing 6"/50 guns from pre-dreadnoughts to standardize the armament of any acquired German light cruisers on the other hand would've worked quite well.) France on the other hand I already knew was very interested in incorporating whatever modern German ships they could get into their fleet to make up for 4 years of lost construction time. They even still did incorporate what light cruisers they got from Germany, to avert a critical shortage of such ships.
    3
  2670. Honestly, most of those Russian ships were a significant waste of resources for Japan to keep in service. Very few of them were modern enough to actually be worth the effort and expense. They were more kept in service for symbolic reasons. The Japanese were rather bitter about how their decisive victories gained them very little new territory and no reparation payments from Russia. So they were intent on keeping everything they had had managed to seize from Russia, even the stuff that was worthless.

  2677. Crypto Chase Even if everyone involved was, as you claim without evidence, a "Trump hater"...so what? That makes no difference to anything. Evidence is evidence, it doesn't cease to be valid just because it's provided by somebody who doesn't like the accused. The dossier is not in any way an "illegal document", nor is there any evidence suggesting that the dossier's contents are false. The only perjury involved in this has been when Trump's former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and campaign advisor George Papadopoulos lied about their meetings with Russian officials, making them both now convicted felons. This investigation is a response to how Russian spies actually subverted an election. And the Trump campaign's collusion with those Russian spies is the actual treason. Though given the deliberately high bar the Constitution places on treason cases, it's most likely that the actual charges filed will be for espionage. And FYI, if Trump does have Mueller fired, that would be a confession of Trump's own guilt.

  2682.  @ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz  The "low power" training ammo seems like it would be perfectly adequate for combat. The Army brass required this round to be higher velocity than there was any real need for it to be. The problem is that by designing the cartridge and rifle to meet that requirement, the cartridge is heavier than it needs to be. 140 rounds of 6.8x51 weighs more than 210 rounds of 5.56x45. I'm all for going with a higher caliber than 5.56mm. The US Army went from one extreme to the other by going from 7.62 to 5.56, and I very much believe something in the 7mm range would've been a better choice. (Such as, you know. The .280 British round that was rejected 70 years ago for being British.) But if the new 6.8 cartridge weighs just as much as 7.62x51, what's the point? 6.8mm Remington SPC already seems to have gotten it right 20 years ago.

  2690. The caller is completley and utterly worng about everything, and so are you. There was no coup in 2014. Yanukovych was not "neutral", he was an autocrat who sought to become the Lukashenko of Ukraine and fully aligned himself with Russia in pursuit of that goal. Despite the fact that seeking EU membership was overwhelmingly popular in Ukraine and Yanukovych had made a campaign promise to seek EU intergation, he instead refused to sign the assoociation agreement and instead pivoted to Russia. The elected government of Ukraine never was overthrown. What actually happened was that Yanukovych was was impeached by the elected parliament. No "puppet leader" was ever installed. An acting president took office, as Ukraine's constitution requires, pending an election 3 months later in which a new president was elected. Russia doesn't get to have "red lines" in other countries. It's quite literally none of their business whether Ukraine joins NATO or not. And the "promise to Gorbachev" you refer to never existed. The notion that a promise was made not to accept Eastern European nations into NATO is a lie that Russia has been telling with increasing frequency for the last 20 years, but repetition of that lie doesn't transform it into truth. The only actual "existential threat to survival here" is that Russian aggression is an existential threat to Ukraine's survival. As for your disingenuous lament that "the West will use this to justify the existence of NATO in the first place"? Russia's aggression does prove that the continued existence of NATO is justified, and even necessary. Dissolving NATO when the Warsaw Pact dissolved would've been hopelessly naive. NATO is not like the Warsaw Pact. NATO is a willing alliance of democracies. The Warsaw Pact was an "alliance" imposed at gunpoint by a conqueror. And your phony analogy about a completely imaginary "Chinese NATO equivalent being placed in Mexico or Canada" is just nonsense. Nobody was putting missiles in Ukraine pointed at Russia. It's you who's not just wrong but arrogant about being wrong. Jeffrey Sachs is not a scholar of any kind. He's a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. And Mearsheimer's "analysis" is simply a declaration that might makes right, and thus Europe is supposed to bow down to Russia. Nobody "sabotaged the Istanbul talks", not Boris Johnson and not anyone else. The talks failed because the "peace deal" Putin offered to Ukraine was that Ukraine would have to agree to almost complete demilitarization, with an army of less than 100,000 and not be allowed to have any tanks or missiles. In other words, he was demanding that Ukraine must render itself completely defenseless in the fact of the next Russian invasion. Given that Russia had just invaded Ukraine three times in the previous eight years it was obvious that Ukraine would never agree to such a "deal". Declaring that it's impossible for Ukraine to defeat Russia is quite a lot like insisting that it was impossible for North Vietnam to defeat America. An invaded nation doesn't just roll over and die without a fight just because the invader is a larger nation. BTW, Donbas is not an ethnically Russian area. Ethnic Russians are just under 1/3 of the population in Donbas. And the claim that the people of Donbas wanted to join Russia is completely baseless. Nor were the people of Donbas being bombed by Ukraine. The Russian invaders in Donbas were being bombed by Ukraine. And a deal in which Ukraine agrees to "stay out of NATO", again, is a deal under which Russia gets to invade them again with complete impunity. Putin is an imperialist warmonger who's made it very clear that he does want to conquer Ukraine. He's given (completely unhinged) speeches in which he openly stated that he considers it an aberration for an independent Ukraine to exist outside of Russia. This isn't about "US benevolence", it's about Russian imperialism. If the US government's motivations for opposing Russian imperialism are not actually benevolent, frankly who cares. Actions matter more than intentions, and it's Russia that's making the imperialist actions here.

And contrary to the "broken promise" narrative you're pushing, the United States initially didn't want to allow Poland, Czechia, and Hungary (the first three to apply for NATO) to join. It was very difficult for those nations to convince the US to let them into NATO. Poland even resorted to threatening they'd acquire nuclear weapons if they weren't allowed to join NATO. They knew that Russia would not remain weak forever, and that once Russia thought they were strong enough, they'd seek to regain a "sphere of influence" over Eastern Europe.

  2720.  @haradimitroula3175  Aurora is significant, yes. Both for being one of the only ships to escape Tsushima both intact and still in Russian hands, and for her role in a certain revolution. Personally, I'd be interested Drach doing a long video on all of the Russian 1st-class protected cruisers (the Russian-made Pallada-class, American-made Varyag, German-made Askold, German-made Bogatyr). Since the way they were built to basic requirements but not a common design is pretty unusual. And a video on all of them could explain in detail how they settled on Bogatyr as the best of the bunch and built 3 sister ships in Russian yards.

  2723. Primarily, it was that the light AA consisted entirely of the 25mm Type 96. Which which was too heavy and not fast-firing enough to be a counterpart to guns like the 20mm Oerlikon or Flak 38. Not only was the cyclic rate of fire lower, the 15-round magazine (compared to 40 for the Flak 38 and 60 for the Oerlikon) was way too small and left it with an effective rate of fire similar to the 40mm Bofors (which had much better range and more explosive filler in the shells). While the Bofors used 4-round clips, the fact that loaders could constantly drop more clips in while the gun was firing made up for that. There was no mid-range AA weapon comparable to the 40mm Bofors, 2-pdr pom-pom, 37mm Breda, 37mm 70-K, etc. For larger AA guns, the 10cm/65 Type 98 (used on the Akizuki-class destroyers and the aircraft carriers Taiho and Shinano) was quite good. The 12.7cm/40 Type 89 on most battleships, carriers, and cruisers was pretty decent. Neither was a truly dual-purpose weapon; they were dedicated AA guns with limited utility against surface targets. And since destroyers (with the exception of the Akizukis) had surface combat as their primary role, most of them had the 12.7 cm/50 3rd Year Type, which had only nominal AA capability. Meaning that while American destroyers with their 5"/38 main guns and 40mm Bofors were legitimate AA escorts, the vast majority of Japanese destroyers could only protect the capital ships from air attack by offering an alternate target to soak up some of the bombs and torpedoes. And even the Akizukis (the only Japanese DDs with proper AA guns) were limited by having only timed fuses instead of a proximity fuse for their 10cm guns.

  2731.  @grandadmiralzaarin4962  Because the U-boats were far too slow to travel with the High Seas Fleet. Even the fastest of the U-boats deployed were only capable of 16 to 17 knots on the surface, and 9 to 10 knots submerged. Even the slowest German dreadnoughts were capable of 20 knots, and even the obsolete pre-dreadnoughts were good for 18.5-19 knots.

  2732.  @grandadmiralzaarin4962  The same is true of submarines, though. Until the development of nuclear power, there was no such thing as a ship that could cruise at full speed. And for a submarine to get incorporated into the main fleet, it would need to be used in a screening/scout role. Meaning it would need to be faster (at least in terms of cruising speed) than the battle line. The Royal Navy actually had submarines in WW1 that achieved that goal, the K-class. The problem is, they achieved it at the cost of being terrible at actually being submarines. They needed steam turbines to get that degree of speed, and I suspect you can imagine what a bad idea steam engines on a submarine were. A steam engine isn't something you can just turn on and off quickly, meaning it took them forever to dive and to restart the turbines upon surfacing.

FDR told many senators and governors at the time that they would be given much land back after public programs using the land were up including Nevada." It goes back a lot further than that.

Sanders has claimed that he does best when more people can vote, but the fact that he does far better in caucuses than in primaries suggests the opposite is true. Especially since two states (Nebraska and Washington) held both a primary and a caucus, and in both cases Sanders won the caucus but lost the primary.

Which would in turn guarantee that the House of Representatives would select a Republican, the choices of the voters be damned.

Worst of all, the fairly goofy shape of the 8mm Lebel cartridge seriously impaired French rifle development for decades to come.

Trump hasn't faced anything even resembling "tough competition", and that's the only reason he's winning. The media has been giving Trump constant free advertising. What you refer to as "attacking" is more a matter of reporting what Trump actually says and does. And if the election system is "rigged", it's rigged in Trump's favor. And no, the people certainly do not love Donald Trump. The majority of Americans hate him.
    2
  2906. "Also, Russia is CLEARLY justified in raising concerns about the Ukrainian internal matters as they share a common border." Bullshit. Simply having a border with Ukraine does not give Russia any say in Ukraine's internal affairs. Also, the majority of Ukrainians, including in eastern Ukraine, have no interest in being annexed by Russia. The pro-Russian forces are a fringe minority backed up by invading Russian soldiers with the patches removed from their uniforms. And the protests in Kiev against the previous Ukrainian government were not violent until the previous government started gunning down the protesters. At that point, the protesters started fighting back.
    2
  2907. TheMinimumPC Again, the Ukrainian people seem to disagree. They don't think that Russia is better for them than the EU and US. That history of Russian oppression they've experienced might have something to do with their position. And Crimea referendum was a sham on every level. Even holding the referendum violated Ukraine's constitution, and the results were blatantly rigged. Russia claims that 97% of Crimea voted in favor of annexation. Even if 100% of the ethnic Russians voted for Russia, that wouldn't have been 97% of Crimea. Do you seriously think the Crimean Tatars, who were the targets of Russian genocide just 60 years ago, voted to join Russia too?

  2908. It's truly pathetic that you keep bringing up that obviously-wrong exit poll from New York to make it seem like Sanders' landslide loss there was actually close. For that matter, this entire primary campaign has not actually been close. 12,248,317 votes to 9,103,171 is not close. And the claim that the FBI is considering indicting Clinton is also complete bullshit.

The fees were always paid to the federal government, since the federal government and not Clark County is the owner of the land in question.

If you physically assault someone, even if you had no lethal intent, and due to a health condition they die from your assault, you're still criminally liable for their death. For example, if you beat somebody up and they turn out to have hemophilia and die from internal bleeding, you'd be facing homicide charges, either manslaughter or 2nd degree murder. It would make no difference that the average person would've only had some bruising. In no case is poor health of the victim considered a valid defense.

But for some reason they also held a non-binding primary yesterday. And despite it having no relevance to delegates, that non-binding primary had well over twice as many actual voters as the binding caucus did in March. Yet another example of how insane and undemocratic caucuses are. And also a reminder that over half of Sanders' wins have been caucuses. Imagine if caucuses didn't exist and instead every state held a primary. If that were the case, it's entirely possible that Clinton would already have an absolute majority of pledged delegates.

    2
  2933. Romlach Zav Are you seriously trying to argue that the Republican Party is better for small business owners? Only if you consider Koch Industries and The Trump Organization to be small businesses. And sure, keep on thinking that about Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania and Michigan haven't been carried by a Republican since 1988, and Wisconsin since 1984. Republicans have repeatedly deluded themselves into thinking those are battleground states, and it's never worked out for them.

  2938. I have no doubt that Clinton wants Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. The question is, would Warren actually be willing to step down from the Senate to take a much weaker role as Vice President? I'm pretty sure that Warren loves being a Senator. She already turned down an opportunity to be President this year. I mean seriously, she appeals to everybody Sanders does, but also appeals to most of the Clinton voters. Warren would've been an almost unstoppable candidate. My thinking is that the only job that would get Warren to leave the Senate at this point would be Attorney General, so that she could personally bring prosecutions against the bankers.

It also priced poor whites out of owning a gun, but that was considered an acceptable sacrifice by the rich landowners and the KKK types.

There are over 53,000 people there at any given time. It's not really shocking that in the span of 5 years there have been two different murderers on the base. BTW, I cannot even imagine that Colonel Jacobs actually believes that if everybody on a base were armed, that in the event of a shooting everyone would start shooting everyone else. If that were the case, how the hell could the Army function in actual combat? And his mentioning that the shooter clearly didn't value his own life since he killed himself misses the point. Ivan Lopez killed himself after being shot at by an armed MP. That's something a lot of mass shooters do: commit suicide when faced with armed resistance. If other soldiers were allowed to be armed on base, he would've faced armed resistance sooner.

Independents who support Sanders are overwhelmingly going to be liberal and clearly aren't going to be interested in voting in a Republican primary. So they should've registered as Democrats whenever they originally registered to vote, in order to take advantage of any opportunities that arise to push the party to the left. Especially since presidential primaries aren't the only primaries that exist. New York has closed primaries for all elections, and the state senate in particular desperately needs a push to the left.

The most recent poll shows Clinton leading Trump by 13 points. And Clinton does not do worse than Trump with independents. You guys are believing what you want to believe instead of reality.

  3090. Imagine if MacArthur hadn't insisted that the M1 Garand be chambered for .30-06. Not only would this have resulted in the Garand entering service sooner (meaning more units would actually have them by the time of WW2), being a pound lighter, and having a 10 rather than 8-round clip, it would also mean that by the time NATO standardization was being discussed, the US would've already been standardized on a 7mm round for 18 years. As such, the only likely resistance to .280 British would've been the insistence on making an American version of it and calling it ".276 Springfield" or something to pretend there was no British influence. In other words, like with so many things if you go back far enough it's MacArthur's fault.

Curtis (appointed by Whig Milliard Fillmore). 4:45 And that "quote" is a quite notorious fake, that first appeared in 1995, 22 years after LBJ's death.

It's a distinctly French thing, but it also spread to much of the rest of continental Europe during the Napoleonic Wars when most of the continent had French-imposed governments. While most of France's National Gendarmerie is purely a police force (despite being part of the armed forces), the Mobile Gendarmerie is also used for regular military roles. During the Cold War they even had light tanks and wheeled tank destroyers among their equipment. Most likely this got into France via a Mobile Gendarmerie deployment overseas.

  3117. Before you even got to the explanation of the real rason why a Merlin-powered Whirlwind was never made, I was already saying "It's because it would use twice as many Merlins as a Spitfire or Hurricane."

  3120. Physically that would be entirely possible. Those guns are only slightly longer and heavier than the BL 13.5-inch Mk V used on Tiger, and IIRC they were actually designed with the intention of being able to mount in Iron Duke's remaining turrets for test-firing, though that ended up not actually happening. The expense of building an extra 8 such guns would still be a relevant consideration (and possibly delaying the completion of one of the KGV class, in exchange for getting some of those guns into active service faster since Tiger would already be complete). But it would still be entirely feasible to do.

  3121.  @gregorywright4918  Seems like it would be far easier to get that increased hangar height out of the Implacables, though. If you've got two 14 foot hangars one on top of the other, strip out the middle deck now it's a single 28 foot hangar. Victorious was a mistake, there's no way around it.

  3129. You got that reversed, santim2341. Spanish flu wasn't a result of soldiers returning from the war, it was a result of soldiers being sent to war. The very first identified cases happened at Fort Riley, Kansas. It was American soldiers who deployed in 1918 who spread the Spanish flu to Europe, and from there it spread to the rest of the world. The name "Spanish flu" comes because Spain was neutral and thus didn't have wartime censorship in place, and thus was the first nation to allow reporting of the flu pandemic. This gave the popular impression that Spain was where the pandemic had started, when it actually started in America. BTW, the Spanish flu pandemic was also made worse in America by the widespread refusal to wear masks. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? As for RFK Jr's bonkers claim that the Spanish flu was created through vaccine research? Nobody was researching a flu vaccine in 1918. In fact, nobody even knew yet that flu was caused by a virus. In 1918, flu was thought to be caused by bacterial infection. It wasn't until 1933 that the influenza virus was discovered. The first flu vaccine wasn't available until 1945. So I'd love to know what kind of vaccine research RFK Jr thinks could've created the Spanish flu.

  3130. The rotating turret was patented in 1859 by Cowper Coles, and first installed on a warship (HMS Trusty) in 1861. John Ericsson 's turret (as used on USS Monitor a year later) was seemingly developed completely independently of Coles', but Coles definitely did it first.

  3139. Unfortunately for Spee, he didn't have Lando Calrissian on hand to convince him to charge in closer. Because literally the only chance he had of any of his squadron surviving, let alone winning, was if he could get his armored cruisers into the harbor entrance before the battlecruisers could raise steam. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were doomed regardless, but if they could've gotten into the harbor entrance, Invincible and Inflexible would've been vulnerable to their guns at that range. And once Spee's ships were inevitably sunk anyway, they would still be blocking the (now-damaged) British battlecruisers from leaving.

The thing I found most puzzling about the Australian Mirage III is that even though Dassault specifically tested one with an Avon 67 engine, the RAAF ended up sticking with the Atar 9C for their Mirages. Despite the Avon being not only an engine already being license-built (in non-afterburning form) in by CAC, but also just a better engine than the Atar in all respects. Marcel Dassault had simply assumed that this would be necessary to obtain the contract (hence going to the trouble of building an Avon powered prototype before even securing the deal), and was surprised when the Aussies opted for the regular Atar powered Mirage III.

  3219. 1:27 As can be seen in this photo (taken in 1932), USS Marblehead had a superfiring turret mounted on top of the aft superstructure to replace the lower aft casements that had been removed because they were too wet to be of any use. This modification unique among the Omaha-class; the rest of the ships simply lost those two casemate guns with no replacement. This turret seems to have been removed before WW2, though. And after her repairs in New York, that deck space was filled with a twin 40mm Bofors mount. (Something her crew no doubt wished had been there during the Japanese air attack.)

  3242.  @SkunkdMonk  The thing is, the options chosen instead were still of foreign origin. The M10 Booker is a modification of the Austrian ASCOD. Only the turret is American.

But Hitler ordered the work cancelled, because the Battle of the Barents Sea a few days earlier (in which Admiral Hipper and Lützow failed to do any damage to a convoy and were driven off by HMS Sheffield and HMS Jamaica) made him conclude that the surface fleet was useless and no more resources should be spent on it.

  3289. ​ @Ninja1Ninja2  Orcas taking down great whites is fairly rare, and seems to be a recent phenomenon that only a few pods engage in. A pod of livyatan certainly could have teamed up to take down a megalodon, but it probably wouldn't have been common either. The norm for predators of similar size is that they leave each other alone unless one of them is desperately hungry. Predators know what's easy prey and what's a difficult fight, and try to avoid to the latter. Just because one large predator can take down the other large predator doesn't mean they'll come out unscathed in the process. The thing about orcas is that they're exceptionally intelligent even by whale standards. Which likely results in some of them deliberately taking on harder prey because the challenge excites them, similar to the reason why human big game hunters do it.

  3290. At the range of engagement for this battle, I doubt Fuso or Nagato would've fared much better than Kirishima did. Even Yamato would've been in bad shape if she took 20 16-inch AP Mark 8 shell hits in short order. Battleships are built to withstand gunfire from other battleships. They are not built to withstand gunfire from other battleships at a range inside of 8km.

  3291.  @Edax_Royeaux  Hood was classified as a battlecruiser because at the time she was built, the Royal Navy considered any capital ship that could exceed 25 knots to be a battlecruiser. And she was still a battlecruiser during WW2 when that convention was no longer operative (hence the KGVs being designated as battleships), because she'd always been a battlecruiser and there was no reason to change her designation.

  3301. Admiral Tirpitz planned the German naval expansion the premise that Britain would need to enter the Helgioland Bight to effect a blockade of German ports, and that German minefields could thus make the battle favorable to Germany even if they were outnumbered. He also thought that Britain would go to great lengths to avoid war with a powerful German navy, because Britain would risk losing enough ships to no longer be the world's most powerful navy. The latter was built on the premise that Britain wouldn't be able to bring their entire battleship fleet to bear, since some of those ships would be needed to protect their colonial possessions around the world. And if Britain could be forced to keep out of European wars, the German army would be able to become the dominant force on the continent. But Tirpitz got it wrong on both counts. The geography of the North Sea made it entirely possible for Britain to blockade them from much further away from the German coast, and that's exactly what they did. And Britain's alliances with France and Japan allowed them to pull their battleships out of the Pacific and Mediterranean, and leave only cruisers (and eventually some obsolete pre-dreadnought battleships) to protect those colonies. If not for the threat at home from Germany, Britain never would've been that trusting of her allies. But Tirpitz's naval expansion had turned Germany into Britain's greatest threat, and thus Britain went to great lengths to counter that threat.

So it would've been pretty silly for this Russian grocery store to not use the exact same cart.

  3309. I know that Turkey wouldn't have allowed it to happen (or rather, they might have been willing to let the ships leave but they never would've allowed them to come back), but what would've happened if the Black Sea Fleet had been sent instead of the ancient useless ships to reinforce the 2nd Pacific Squadron? I believe that would've result in Togo being outnumbered more than 3 to 1 in terms of battleships, and IIRC the Black Sea Fleet got better quality crews than the Baltic Fleet. (If nothing else, the fact that they operated out of a warm-water port meant the Black Sea Fleet had more opportunities to go to sea for training.)

  3311. It's only in this particular configuration that it feeds from the top. In the assault rifle and carbine configurations, the magazine goes in the bottom just like most rifles. And in the light machine gun configuration it's belf-fed. When a Marine unit tested the Stoner 63A in Vietnam, they didn't use this "automatic rifle" configuration because there was no need for it. In the SAW role it had no particular advantages over the belt-fed version. So they went with just the belt-fed LMG and the magazine-fed assault rifle and carbine configurations. And were quite unhappy when they had to turn them back in in favor of M16s and M60s. Apparently this Marine unit "lost" a few of their LMG-configured Stoners at this time and "found" them again afterward so they were able to keep using them instead of M60s.

  3332.  @alganhar1  Which is why post-WW1 it was was primarily the under-equipped French and Italian navies that incorporated ex-German ships into their fleets. In 1918, both of their navies had a grand total of zero light cruisers, so they used seized German ones until they could build their own. They were both absolutely planning to incorporate any modern battleships and battlecruisers they could obtain from the High Seas Fleet into their navies as well, if not for Admiral Reuter taking that option away from them. (Though it turns out that Italy could barely afford to operate even the battleships they already had.) The complexity and expense of refitting foreign ships in the modern era is why we didn't see an "HMS Baden" in Royal Navy service through WW2, even though SMS Baden was clearly superior to the R-class battleships and even had some advantages over the Queen Elizabeth-class. I suspect that the way France would've dealt with this if they'd managed to seize all the German ships they wanted in 1918 would've been...just standardizing on German equipment. Given the aforementioned complete lack of light cruisers and the superiority of the König, Derfflinger, and Bayern classes to France's Bretagne-class, the captured German ships would've been staying in service longer than the existing French-built ones.

  3334. If Santisima Trinidad had been captured intact and razeed down to a normal 112-gun 1st rate, what would the Royal Navy have called her? Would she have just been HMS Santisima Trinidad, or would they have changed the name? For that matter, is was there any set rule for how that works, since I've noticed that many captured ships kept their foreign names in British service, while others did not. (And only sometimes can that be explained by another ship of the same name being already in active service.)

  3335.  @amir-ng6jv  Torpedoes are projectiles, so no. That 38cm shell would not be the single deadliest non-atomic projectile. The deadliest event that can be unambiguously attributed to a single projectile would be the Soviet hospital ship Armenia, sunk on November 7, 1941 by a single air-dropped torpedo, killing between 5,000 and 7,000 people. The German transports MV Wilhelm Gustloff and MV Goya had even higher loss of life, but they were sunk by 3 and 2 torpedoes, respectively.

  3356. With regard to the C-class cruisers, a total of 28 of them were built combining all the various subclasses. 1 was sunk in WW1, leaving 27 survivors when the Royal Navy started scrapping them. 13 of them did remain in service and get used in WW2, all from the Caledon, Ceres, and Carlisle subclasses. Those were dramatically more capable than the earlier subclasses, so it really made sense for them to be the only ones retained.

Plus river gunboats. The only other Axis nations outside of the main 3 that even had navies were Bulgaria and Croatia (if the latter even counts, since it was just a puppet state that nominally controlled occupied Yugoslavia), and they only had a handful of torpedo boats and in Croatia's case a pair of river monitors.

Crimea ended up with a Russian majority because Stalin genocided the native Tatars and sent in Russians to replace them. The Soviet Union liked to send large Russian populations into all of the non-Russian republics, so as to make it harder for those republics to ever become viable independent states. (Along with drawing the republics' borders so that ethnic groups were spread into other republics, creating border disputes that only central control from Moscow could resolve. The results of this are seen in the ongoing Azerbaijan-American conflict.)

Compared to 11,000 soldiers killed on both sides. That is not what happens if civilians are being indiscriminately shelled. And bear in mind that the civilian death toll includes the 300 people on that Malaysian airliner that Russia shot down.

  3407. It was also put forward as a rationale that if the US built fast battleships, it would render the entire fleet of Standards obsolete. That's why the Lexingtons were designed as battlecruisers with almost nonexistent armor instead of as fast battleships. Admiral William Sims pointed out that this was idiotic, and that the entire fleet of Standards was already obsolete on account of Britain building HMS Hood. It was only because of the Washington Naval Treaty that Britain and Japan were cut off from building more vast battleships like G3 and No. 13 that would've outclassed USN BBs in speed, armor, and firepower. And yet the General Board somehow thought that if they ignored the fast battleships of other navies, they would just go away.

  3408. Depends on your definition of "collapsed".
    2
  3409. With regard to battleships that survived WW2 and could make 30+ knots so as to be similarly useful to the Iowas? You forgot HMS Renown. In the Cold War era, the difference between a battleship and battlecruiser doesn't really mean much. The Soviets didn't have any big gun ships once Novorossiysk was lost, and ships with heavy armor were so rare that the Soviets didn't really bother with armor-piercing warheads on their anti-ship missiles. Renown had 31 knot top speed and 15-inch guns. When withstanding gunfire from a similarly-armed ship is no longer an issue, Renown is 3/4 of Vanguard's capability as a gunfire support ship. She's got less room for adding new equipment, but she's still not lacking in such room.

When Ukraine declared independence from the Russian Empire in 1917, not only Donbas and Crimea but also Kuban was part of its territory. When Lenin's Red Army conquered Ukraine in 1921 and forced them to join the USSR as the Ukrainian SSR, Crimea and Kuban were detached from Ukraine and added to the Russian SFSR. In 1954, Khrushchev returned Crimea to Ukraine. Yes, it was done without any referendum...because the USSR was a dictatorship. There was never any referendum in Ukraine about joining the USSR either. It was done at gunpoint.

It's kind of surprising that the same wasn't done with prototype aircraft like the DB-LK. Even if it was inferior to other Soviet bombers, it's still an extra plane beyond what was already in service.

Also, calling the training exercises "war games" and claiming that they "antagonize" North Korea is straight out of North Korean propaganda. It is not in fact a reasonable demand on North Korea's part. The reason those exercises happen is because of the threat that North Korea will invade South Korea. They've done it before, after all.

Italy hadn't entered the war yet, so there wasn't a proper blockade of A-H ports in 1914.

But for the second two ships, they used Krupp's newly developed face-hardened steel armor.

  3462. ​ @monarch3335  Montana would have the clear advantage over Yamato, being being able to put out about 24 shells per minute while Yamato would fire 15 to 18. Yamato's 46cm shells would have more penetration (though at long range this difference would be relatively minor) and do significantly more damage with a penetrating hit (33.85kg bursting charge, compared 18.55kg for the American 16" shell), but by firing significantly more shells Montana would be more likely to score hits in the first place (and that's even before taking into account superior radar-directed fire control). Montana's also slightly faster, which helps to dictate when and where the battle happens. As for H-41, both Montana and Yamato would have a huge firepower advantage over that ship. 8x 42cm guns is no match for 12x 406mm or 9x 46cm. And in terms of protection, H-41 fares just as badly. Yamato has a 410mm belt and Montana has 409mm, while H-41 only has 300mm. The deck armor comparison is similarly lopsided. 50 to 80mm upper deck and 100 to 120mm main deck (with 120 to 150mm slopes forming a turtleback, but at long range that's actually a disadvantage since it gives a flatter surface for any plunging shells to hit) for H-41. 57mm weather deck, 179 to 187mm main deck, and 16 to 25mm lower deck for Montana. And a 200mm main deck plus 50 to 80mm lower deck for Yamato. The only recourse for H-41 against either Montana or Yamato would be to run away. And hope they don't score any hits that slow her down. Because she wouldn't be escaping very quickly; the finalized H-41 design was expected to have the exact same 28 knot top speed as Montana, which would be a mere 1 knot faster than Yamato. Meaning that there could be a long time during that escape when she's still within range of their guns. Yamato's 46cm guns had a max range of 42km and she's known to have scored a near miss (as in, near enough that the target was damaged by the underwater explosion) at 34.5km. Montana's 16"/50 guns would've had a max range of 38.7km, just like the Iowa-class. Montana's guns could piece H-41's belt from over 32km away, and Yamato could probabl do so from even further away (though I can't find penetration tables for her at ranges longer than 30km). And from that point all the way out to their max ranges, both could easily penetrate H-41's decks. I don't know how close H-41 would've needed to get to have a chance at penetrating Montana or Yamato's thicker belts, since the 42cm gun never actually existed. But H-39 (with the German 40.6cm gun, 12 barrels of which actually were built) would need to get inside of 25km to do so. Which is suicidal range to be fighting either ship at.

  3465. India has operated aircraft carriers continuously since 1957, when they acquired INS Vikrant (ex-HMS Hercules) from Britain. Vikrant remained operational until 1997. They also operated INS Viraat (ex-HMS Hermes) from 1987 to 2017. And INS Vikramaditya (ex-Admiral Gorshkov) entered service in 2013. And the new INS Vikrant (built from the keel up in India) is scheduled to enter service in the next 2 years. So India should at the very least be well ahead of Japan and South Korea in their capacity to operate a surplus American supercarrier. While a Forrestal or Kitty Hawk class would be significantly larger than anything India has operated to date (and even bigger than their next planned carrier INS Vishal, expected to be laid down around 2025), they do have decades of operational experience flying planes off of carriers. The other navy with recent aircraft carrier experience was Brazil, but given how completely they failed at keeping São Paulo (ex-Foch) operational, that argues against their ability to operate a secondhand supercarrier. Granted, Foch was pretty worn out when they got her, but the same would true of Kitty Hawk or John F. Kennedy (the last surviving non-nuclear American supercarriers).

  3536. Though in reality, the Le Fantasque-class that were in Free French hands tended to still be more than adequately fast even after being loaded down with as many 40mm Bofors as room could be found for, and this simply brought their speed down to the level that they could actually fight at. Most likely, the same would've been true of the Mogadors if either of them had ended up with the FNFL. So there were much worse ships out there.

  3539.  @QualityPen  Ukraine did not "almost sign" any deal with Russia in April 2022. Neutrality and territorial concessions were both thing Ukraine adamantly refused. And claiming those territories are "historically Russian" is a blatant lie. And NATO told Russia to get lost in December 2021, because Russia's demands were completely insane. Russia's idea of "a sustainable security framework in Europe" was for all former Warsaw Pact members to be kicked out of NATO and consigned to Russia's "sphere of influence". Which was obviously never going to happen. NATO would rather go to war with Russia than agree to such a thing. And rightly so.
    2
  3540.  @RichD1  That's the thing, none of that is true. There never was any "massacre in Donbass". Nor did NATO ever promise not to expand to include former Warsaw Pact members. And claiming that NATO is on the brink of collapse is utterly comical. And Russia gave Crimea back to Ukraine in 1953, after having stolen Crimea from Ukraine in 1922.

  3542. The British were aware of this. They figured that it wasn't a problem, because they'd still be able to out-build their potential rivals like they'd been doing for the last 200 years. Whereas if they didn't build Dreadnought, somebody else would do it first and still render all of Britain's existing battleships obsolete. Vittorio Cuniberti in Italy and Washington Capps in the US both designed all-big-gun battleships in 1903, but due to Italy's limited resources and the US"s stingy Congress, Cuniberti's design was never built and Capps' wasn't laid down until after Dreadnought was built. And I don't know who designed Satsuma for the Japanese, but that was also originally intended as an all-big-gun ship. These ships lacked the steam turbines that gave Dreadnought her superior speed (though given that Cuniberti was looking for 23 knot top speed in his battleship, achieving that would've required such engines), but combining turbines with battleships was also an inevitable development with or without Dreadnought.

  3552. Honestly, the 8mm Lebel is a cartridge that never should've existed. It's just that there was a requirement imposed from above that the first smokeless powder cartridge should have the same rim diameter as the 11mm Gras so that Gras rifles could be more easily converted in an emergency to fire the new round. To combine that rim width with an 8mm bullet made for a very oddly shaped cartridge. It was a silly requirement that impaired French automatic weapon development for decades to come.

  3553.  @jeffb.140  Basically all of the land systems manufacturers merged into GIAT, now Nexter Systems. And Nexter has now dropped the small arms portion of the market. And Nexter merged with their German counterpart Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. Hence France and Germany collaborating for their next tank, since with their tank designers merged they really didn't have a choice in the matter. The difference being that in Germany, the small arms manufacturers remain independent companies rather than having merged with the land vehicle manufacturers. So companies like H&K and Walther are safe from somebody deciding they're "no longer necessary".

Even with the fact that Moskva was hit by two missiles rather than just one (albeit Neptune has a slightly lighter warhead than Exocet), that ship absolutely should not have been lost. If the Russian Navy had competent damage control, Moskva would've safely gotten back to port for repairs.

  3565. Ironically, if the Argentine junta had waited another year or so to star the war, the scheduled downsizing of the Royal Navy would've left Britain without any realistic capability to retake the Falklands. Hermes was going to be decommissioned in 1982 and Invincible sold to Australia in 1983. While Illustrious entered service in June 1982, she wasn't fully operational until March 1983 and Ark Royal wasn't completed until November 1985. Without carriers, Britain would've had no choice but to concede the Falklands, since with no fighter cover any troop ships sent to retake them would've been easy pickings for Argentine aircraft.

  3572.  @egoalter1276  Fuel is specifically exempted from standard displacement, and since no mention is made in the treaty text of aviation fuel, that presumably means all fuel on a ship, whether for the ship itself or for its aircraft. At any rate, a few hundred tons isn't exactly a trivial amount. Nobody wanted to waste the limited tonnage they had allocated to them, they wanted to get the most ship they could within the treaty limits.

Any proper fleet carriers still in Royal Navy service (or even put in reserve recently enough that they could be brought back with reasonable speed) in the early 1980s would resulted in Argentina dismissing the idea of grabbing a couple of little islands as a pipe dream.

  3583.  @bellablondie712  But what did she tell her mother at the time? Given that her mother mentions nothing about sexual assault or sexual harassment in that Larry King call, and her mother died 4 years ago so nobody can ask her, we have no way of knowing what Reade actually told her at the time. The court filing by her ex says she told him of being sexually harassed in Biden's office, but doesn't mention sexual assault and doesn't mention whether Biden himself was involved. Bear in mind that she also accused her ex-husband of being a serial killer and of raping babies. So it could just be that she's nuts.
    2
  3584.  @bellablondie712  The problem is, how can it be investigated? It's not like there's going to be physical evidence to uncover, 30 years after the fact. If the assault actually happened, no one witnessed it other than Reade and Biden. And who could be trusted to do the investigation? Certainly not Trump's DOJ.

And during the final battle with Bismarck, Rodney fired torpedoes at Bismarck and claimed to have scored one hit. The latter was the only time a battleship ever hit anything with a torpedo. It should be noted that most battleships built with torpedoes were pre-WW1 designs, and the torpedoes had quite short range. As such, they generally wouldn't even get close enough to a target to fire them. But the Nelson-class battleships' 24.5" Mk I had range settings of 15,000 and 20,000 yards.

I have no idea how expensive that would've been, but it seems like a major refit that stripped out the steam engines, moved the Sea Dart launcher slightly so that the empty aft space could be used for full helicopter facilities, and replaced the Ikara launcher with a second Sea Dart launcher, that would've made for a really good destroyer.

  3591. It's actually kind of surprising that the DShK isn't ".51 caliber", since that'd be an even 13mm.

(The bullet diameter actually is .51 caliber/13mm, but the same is true for the American .50 BMG.)

And what you seem to be failing to see is that what Putin is doing do Ukraine is exactly the same as what Netanyahu is doing to Palestine. The only difference is that Ukraine has an army and an air force that's allowed them to defend themselves against the Russian invasion, while Palestine has neither of those things and thus is completely helpless against the Israeli invasion.

  3616.  Al Egator  Trump absolutely was told. The Trump administration is overtly lying every time they claim he wasn't. And in what way is Trump "trying to get out of the Mid East"? If he wants to get the US out of the Mid East, he could just do it. I haven't seen troops leaving Iraq. Contrary to what Trump claimed when abandoning the Kurds to genocide by the Turks, troops didn't leave Syria either. The troops were just moved south to let the Turks and Russians have their way. And massively escalating with Iran by scrapping the peace treaty and assassinating their top general is not a way to get out of the Mid East. Likewise for Afghanistan. If Trump is going to "get us out of Afghanistan", why hasn't he actually done it yet? He's had almost 4 years, how long does it take him to even start leaving if it's what he actually intends to do? And it's Russia that's actually waging war against the US. Ignoring them as they do so won't make them stop.

  3639. ​ @doubledekercouch  Best-case scenario for that to happen would be if Hood outright won the Battle of the Denmark Strait (an entirely possible outcome, indeed probably a more likely outcome than what actually happened), and her refit was able to be rushed enough for her to also take Duke of York's place in sinking Scharnhorst. Combine that with the strong likelihood (as Drach laid out) that a refitted Hood would replace Vanguard as Britain's active postwar capital ship, she would survive to 1960. If she'd sunk two of Germany's battleships and spent 40 years as the symbol of the Royal Navy, that might have been enough to save her from the scrapyard.

  3654. The 1906 HMS Dreadnought was actually the 9th ship to carry the name. When deciding on his new battleship's name, Admiral Fisher chose from a list of the names of ships of the line at Trafalgar (since those would be names inherently suitable to a capital ship), crossing out those already in use by another active warship. He had a pretty good idea of exactly how revolutionary the design was, and wanted to make sure it had a suitably grandiose name.

  3663.  @pyrite13  Any officer who would quit over the repeal of qualified immunity is somebody who should never have been allowed to be a cop in the first place. The only reason a cop needs such immunity is if they're going to break the law. As for body cameras, I strongly disagree. Every moment that a copy is on duty should be recorded, without exception. There shouldn't even be an off switch for their body cams. And as for cameras breaking, if that happens with suspicious timing then I'd suggest a three strikes policy. With the third time a body cam suspiciously "breaks" right before a cop gets involved in an incident where he's accused of misconduct, the result would be the cop is banned for life from having any involvement in law enforcement. And no-knock warrants are a "tactical tool" that cops shouldn't have at their disposal. We don't let cops have absolutely every "tactical tool" that exists. Some are just too dangerous for use in law enforcement. And no-knock warrants have proved to be one of those.

  3687. Regarding heavy cruisers with bigger than 8" guns during the interwar period, why didn't any of the nations not subject to the the naval treaties use larger guns? One would think that smaller navies would've been keen to exploit the treaty limits and make their limited numbers of ships individually superior. The treaty powers were of course prohibited from building non-compliant ships for export (everyone else was no doubt looking directly at the British negotiators when insisting on that stipulation), but there were also a few non-treaty powers capable of building their own cruiser-sized warships (or in theory, building ships for export). Spain, for example, could've armed the Canarias-class with 3x2 9.2" guns instead of making them a near copy of the British Counties. For that matter, Spain's shipyards could've been used as a backdoor for Britain's private shipbuilders to build treaty-busting warships for export during the 1920s, since SECN was co-owned by Vickers, Armstrong, and John Brown.

  3703. In short, there never was any promise that NATO would not "expand" to include the nations of Eastern Europe. Russia pulled that out of their collective ass. The pledge that actually happened was that NATO would not operate in the territory of the former East Germany. None of the nations of Eastern Europe were parties to that treaty on the reunification of Germany, nor were 11 out of the 15 nations that were already NATO members at the time. The subject of whether more nations would join NATO was never even discussed. Russia simply made the whole thing up, because they think the entirety of Eastern Europe is their rightful "sphere of influence". Whereas the nations that had just escaped from decades of Soviet rule and in many cases had been repeatedly invaded by Russia for centuries before that? They very much wanted to get into NATO as soon as possible to make sure they would never be part of a "Russian sphere of influence" again. And this loss of power over Russia's former vassal states enraged Putin.

  3708.  @adrianlouw2499  Speaking the Russian language and being ethnically Russian are not the same thing. Ethnic Russians are a bit less than 40% of the Donbas population. Or at least were before the Russian invasion. And Ukraine did not "sign" any such referendum, whatever that's supposed to mean. The sham referendums conduced by the self-proclaimed "people's republics" did not have anywhere near the entirety of Donetsk and Luhansk voting in them.
    2
  3709.  @IronPsyde  It's not that the majority in Donbas chose not to vote. It's that the rebels conducted the referendums only in the parts of Donetsk and Luhansk that were under their direct control. Meaning only about half of the two oblasts. It wasn't anything even resembling a free and fair election. Those who opposed secession didn't have a vote. It would be like if a secession vote were held in Texas that didn't allow the people in Dallas, Houston, and El Paso to vote.

Which is precisely what Russia did to Ukraine in 2014 by invading and annexing Crimea.

  3716. With regard to the idea of keeping Tiger in service, the London Naval Treaty did require another capital ship to be scrapped, so something else would need to be sacrificed no matter what. Sacrificing Renown or Repulse to keep a slightly older and less powerful battlecruiser was for obvious reasons a stupid idea, and the Royal Navy was quite right to not consider it. But I still think it might've worked out better to scrap Revenge instead. This is of course with the benefit of hindsight, but Revenge was probably the least useful capital ship in the Royal Navy in WW2. Even compared to her sister ships, which were at least in better material condition. Her speed alone would've given Tiger far more utility, even given the logistical issues of having to keep the 13.5" shell in stock. And again the benefit of hindsight, we also know that Britain would within the next 6 years be adopting a 14"/45 gun that was very close in size to the 13.5"/45 and IIRC was even designed to be able to use the old turrets (since there was consideration of Iron Duke, demilitarized as a gunnery training ship, having at least one of her three remaining turrets fitted with the new guns for testing). Meaning that the logistical headache could potentially be a temporary one, depending on whether Tiger would've been able to complete a major refit before WW2 broke out.

  3724. The President of the National Assembly of Venezuela can become interim President of Venezuela if the presidency is vacant. But it's not vacant.

But that hasn't happened. Unilaterally declaring the presidency to be vacant is not among the constitutional powers of the President of the National Assembly.

  3726. Kongo and Tiger were very similar ships as built. The main advantage of Kongo was that she had Vickers 14"/45 Pattern A guns, which had better range and penetration than the BL 13.5"/45 Mk V. Though Kongo had an 8" belt compared to Tiger's 9", so only range would be a relevant advantage if the two ships went up against each other. They'd be about equally capable of defeating each other's armor when the shells hit. I still find it a bit surprising that, given how much the threat of the Deutschland-class cruisers was being overestimated at the time, that Tiger wasn't retained on account of being one of only 4 ships in the fleet capable of outrunning and outgunning Deutschland. To stay in compliance with the London Naval Treaty while keeping Tiger, they could've simply scrapped Iron Duke and demilitarized Revenge as a training ship. From what I understand, Revenge was already in worse material condition than Tiger in 1930 anyway. The only downside would've been that Tiger would be the only ship in the fleet still carrying 13.5" guns.

  3746. Howard Wiggins In 1790 after the first Census, the largest state (Virginia) was 10 times more populous than than the smallest (Delaware). Today, the largest state (California) has nearly 70 times the population of the smallest (Wyoming). The founding fathers would've never conceived that such extreme differences in state size would occur. What they also never would've expected was that the number of Representatives elected to the House would get artificially capped at 435 even though the population continued to grow. On the contrary, they intended that the House should be as closely proportional to state populations as possible, via adding new seats as needed with every Census. So not only does the Senate (as it was designed to do) give disproportionately large voting power to small states, ever since 1911 so does the House! By all rights there ought to be upward of 1000 members of the House of Representatives, in order to ensure that each House district is of roughly equal size and thus American voters are equally represented in the House.

They quickly realized this was because the gas from the cannons vented into the engine, and real combat was happening at higher altitudes (ie thinner air) than had been tested before. They hadn't accounted for the fact that with less oxygen being pulled into the engine, the gas from the cannons would displace enough to flame them out. So they quickly modified the cannon mountings to have the gas vent outward instead of inward.

  3789. Why was Kaga chosen as the replacement for Amagi as a carrier conversion instead of Atago or Takao? Kaga's shorter hull made her a less suitable for conversion than the battlecruisers, and it seems as if (especially for the Japanese, who practically elevated cheating on the treaty restrictions to an art form) that Atago and Takao barely having begun construction would actually be an advantage. It would allow a 33,000 ton carrier that was for all intents and purposes built from the keep up as a carrier while still technically being a conversion.

    2
  3796. Given that the hulls are existing Challenger 2s with a new turret, building more would presumably involve taking the remaining Challenger 2s that don't get upgraded and dropping the new turret onto them as well. There's no active production line for building Challenger 2 hulls, so there's a limit to how many additional Challenger 3s could be made. By the time Britain might decide to add additional tanks to their force, they'll probably end up buying whatever the Franco-German MGCS program comes up with.

  3803. Germany wasn't subject to the Washington and London Naval Treaties. Those treaties applied only to the British Empire, United States, Japan, France, and Italy. And anybody who was having their ships built by one of those five; one of the stipulations was that ships built for export were still subject to the limits. So the only rule Germany was actually breaking was lying about the tonnage and claiming they met the 10,000 ton Versailles limit. It was only in 1935 with the Anglo-German Naval Agreement that Germany was subjected to the London limits (and proceeded to still cheat). In theory, any other nation was still allowed to build cruisers bigger than 10,000 tons, and to use guns of any caliber they felt like on them. In practice, very few other nations had the shipbuilding capacity to make their own warships at all, let alone super-heavy cruisers. As far as I'm aware, the only other nations that built cruisers at all in their own shipyards were the USSR, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. Sweden never built any warships larger than around 7,500 tons, but the Netherlands and Spain both each built a pair of10,000 cruisers. In their cases it wasn't a question of whether they could build a super-heavy cruiser, but whether they could afford it. In the Dutch case, they opted to put their money instead into full-on battlecruisers (Design 1047, which would've been essentially a lighter and faster Scharnhorst with thinner armor), but a German invasion rudely interrupted those plans. Some of earlier concepts considered during the design process had been for 16,000 ton super-heavy cruisers with either 3x2 or 3x3 240mm guns. Spain designed a 19,000 ton cruiser in 1939 that would've been armed with 3x2 305mm guns (using the coastal battery guns previously salvaged from the battleships España and Jaime I) or 2x3 283mm (of the same type as Scharnhorst, which would've been imported from Germany), but nothing came of it. Likewise with the 17,500 version of the design that was simply a big heavy cruiser with 4x3 203mm. Probably because Spain in the aftermath of the civil war didn't have the money. Franco had big naval ambitions, up to and including buying Littorio-class battleships from Italy (and I vaguely recall that he offered to buy Gneisenau from Germany when Hitler had given up on his surface fleet), but not enough money to actually do it.

  3827. It's entirely possible that the Royal Navy might have ended up with only 2 Revenges in the first place in this scenario. Adding 3 Queen Elizabeths to the production schedule could easily have meant delaying 3 of the Revenges until those slipways are freed up. Which in turn means that those 3 Revenges won't be laid down until late 1914 at the earliest. Historically, this is when Jackie Fisher became First Sea Lord for the 2nd time, and one of his decisions was to cancel the final 3 Revenges (Resistance, Renown, and Repulse) that hadn't been laid down yet, reordering 2 of them as the Renown-class battlecruisers. If 3 more Revenges had their laying down delayed to make way for the Canadian QEs, he might well have cancelled them as well, in favor of 2 or 3 more battlecruisers. In which case the Royal Navy ends up with an overall much faster fleet, and the 2 remaining Revenges would be scrapped in the early 1930s. At which point Britain's slowest capital ships are the Nelsons.

  3829. The M16 as we know it wouldn't exist. But if NATO had standardized on .280 (7x43mm), there's a good chance that's what the AR-10 would've been chambered for because that's what militaries would've been interested in. The M14 probably wouldn't have existed either. And the US Army might've ended up with a 7mm AR-10 to avoid adopting a foreign rifle. Most likely the 7mm FAL and AR-10 would still be standard-issue rifles today for most of NATO. Whether Britain's EM-2 would've had similar longevity, I don't know.

  3843. With regards to engagement range, that's why I don't understand how nobody ever bought OTOMATIC or DRACO to supplement the smaller autocannons. A OTO Melara Super Rapid on a tank or 8x8 armored car chassis can go anywhere you need SPAA, while having about double the effective range of the smaller guns and a much larger blast radius. You lose out on rate of fire and ammo capacity, but that's why you'd have it in a mix with a larger number of (probably about a 3 to 1 ratio) of 35mm Oerlikon or 40mm Bofors vehicles. For drone swarms, it could whittle down the numbers by detonating shells in the middle of the swarm 8km away, then the faster-firing guns start wiping out the remnants as they get closer. And in the counter-insurgency warfare that's so common now, they'd be equally valid for shooting down individual IED-carrying suicide drones or demolishing concrete structures to support infantry. And against helicopters, again the superior range would be beneficial. Most AA guns don't have reach anywhere near as long as a helicopter-launched ATGM (hence guns normally being secondary to missiles when it comes to taking down helicopters). An OTO Melara 76mm gun does.

  3844. Another Obama is more like the exact thing we need. Trump is the worst President America has ever had, and it's not even close.

  3845. And with regards to SMS Blücher, her size wouldn't have been an issue in the Treaty era had she survive the war. Existing ships that exceeded size limits were grandfathered in. For example, the US Navy was able to keep the Tennessee-class armored cruisers, which were 1000 tons lighter than Blücher but still almost 50% above the Treaty limit. And they also had 10" guns, far larger than new cruisers were allowed to have. For precisely those reasons, the US Navy gave serious consideration in the mid-1920s to modernizing the three surviving ships of the class, though they decided against it on the basis of cost, difficullty improving on their slow speed, and the fact that modernizing them would give Congress an excuse to stop authorizing new cruisers. Likewise, France and Italy kept a few of their larger armored cruisers around in the Treaty era. All of this presumes an alternate history where Germany is a signatory of the Washington Naval Treaty, of course. I'm not sure whether Germany would've been allowed to keep her under the Treaty of Versailles. Blücher was after all bigger than the Braunschweig- and Deutschland-class pre-dreadnoughts that Germany was allowed to keep. On the other hand she had smaller guns and thinner armor and she was thoroughly obsolete by that point, so it's possible this would've been allowed in exchange for postwar Germany only getting 4-5 pre-dreadnoughts instead of 6. If that were the case, Versailles certainly would've placed a limit on how soon she could be replaced by a new-construction ship, which could've given Germany an impetus for a significant rebuild. Depending on when such a rebuild happened, they'd have to worry about whether the Inter-Allied Commission would approve the plans. Naturally Germany could (and almost certainly would) make efforts to cheat their way around Versailles restrictions, but having to make sure it wasn't obvious would mean they probably couldn't go to the extent of rearranging the turrets to a more efficient superfiring layout. The post-refit Blücher would need to look like she'd had only minor changes made. The other potential scenario for a Treaty-era refitted Blücher would be if she was handed over to France or Italy as war reparations. Neither nation had that many cruisers operational at the end of WW1, both kept some of their armored cruisers in service for quite some time (Italy even still had San Giorgio in active service in WW2) and Blücher was a superior design to those cruisers. As such she might've been seen as more worthwhile to rebuild to modern standards than the likes of San Giorgio or Waldeck-Rousseau.
    2
  3846.  @Drachinifel  If kept in German hands, yes. But like I said, I can also see France or Italy picking her as part of their war reparations if she were in the available pool. Both nations actually operated smaller ex-German cruisers to make up for their own shortages, France into the 1930s and Italy all the way into the 1940s. It would've been interesting to see if Italy would've put Blücher through a refit similar to that of their dreadnought battleships.

  3885.  @pashagoodlife9217  HIMARS rockets can't take down a dam. They're designed for much smaller targets. You could fire eight hundred of those rockets at a dam of this size and it wouldn't collapse. What those videos you reference show are internal explosions, meaning that bombs were placed inside the dam and set to detonate on a timer. Which is why the Russian troops in the area all evacuated the flood zone before the explosion.

  3913. The reason is obvious: Orban and Erdogan are both far-right authoritarian dictators. Fortunately, the rest of the EU will never allow Turkey to be a member.
    2
  3914. And the reason that most of EU didn't support Erdogan after the 2016 "coup attempt" is that it was so obviously a false flag by Erdogan and his minions to justify crackdowns on the opposition and purges of the military and judiciary.

  3922. No such stipulations existed. Maidan was not in any way a "coup". And the unelected "People's Republic" governments did not actually represent the people of Donetsk and Luhansk. Imagine if some CIA agent declared that he was now the president of the "Siberian People's Republic" and that he was seceding from Russia. Nobody would take that seriously, so why should GRU agents doing the same thing in Donetsk and Luhansk be taken seriously?

Remember, the Mark 15 destroyer torpedo had all the same flaws as the Mark 14 submarine torpedo. Running too deep, a magnetic detonator that didn't work, and a contact detonator that also rarely worked. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those torpedoes that hit Hiei without exploding weren't actually a result of being too close for the torps to arm, but because of the 70% dud rate of USN torps.

Honestly, I don't understand why 8mm Mauser became such a widespread caliber when 7mm Mauser was available. And it's not just because of gigantic stocks of German surplus rifles either; the trend of more and more nations adopting 8mm (even armies that previously used 7mm) had already been ongoing.

  3975. N3 was chosen because compared to L3 she's 9 meters shorter and nearly 3000 tons lighter, while having the same armament and armor. Even when you don't have any treaty-imposed size limits, if you can reduce weight without any change to combat ability, that's worth doing because the smaller ship will cost less and take less time to build. As for if an L3 had been built (either there's no treaty, or Britain somehow managed to pull a Dreadnought by laying her down immediately in 1920 and having her already in service by the time the Washington Naval Conference began in November 1921), she'd probably have been refitted along similar lines to Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, and Renown, with new boilers and turbines, a line of QF 4.5" BD Mk II twin turrets down each side of the superstructure, etc. Given that she probably wouldn't need to add large torpedo bulges, what with her postwar design already having better torpedo protection than the QEs, I imagine that L3 might gain some speed in that refit. Probably not quite able to keep pace with the KGVs when they're steaming at full speed, but 27 knots wouldn't be out of the question. This would definitely be a ship that Bismarck doesn't want to run into.

  3976.  Dom Trussardi  I disagree, Trump is worse than both of them. Trump is also anti-gay and anti-black. And even more right-wing policy-wise than Reagan and Bush. And this coronavirus disaster is to be worse than Iran-Contra, 9/11, and the Iraq War combined.
    2
  3977.  Dom Trussardi  This is only the beginning. Look at how the number of coronavirus cases keeps increasing. Not only that, the increase is accelerating and Trump wants to end all the lockdown measures that are meant to slow it down. Saying it's not that bad now is like the people who believed the Iraq War was over with minimal casualties when Bush said "mission accomplished". It's going to get much worse. Mark my words, by the end of this year we'll have millions dead from COVID-19.

  3982.  @jayc5373  Premeditation doesn't need to happen a significant time in advance. If for example you see somebody you've got a grudge against walking down the street and say "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch", then pull out a gun and shoot him dead. That would be premeditated. You wouldn't have needed to decide when you left home in the morning that this was the day you're going to kill your enemy. Consciously deciding on the crime when you see the guy and immediately following through on it would be enough for 1st degree murder. On the other hand, if the situation was that the two of you are having an argument, and he says something that enrages you to the point that you pull out your gun and shoot him, that would be 2nd degree murder. A fit of rage is not premeditation, though it is an intentional killing.
    2
  3983. Not really. The reason the 1911 ended up selling so well as a commercial pistol for Colt was its success as a military sidearm. And there wasn't big civilian demand at the time for a large pistol. FN already owned the civilian semi-auto market in Europe with the Browning 1900 and 1910 pocket pistols and 1905 vest pocket pistol. Those were what European civilians went for. There was more interest in large pistols in America, but FN's agreement with Colt meant they couldn't sell Browning designs to that market. If the Grand Browning had gotten a military contract, that probably would've led to some civilian demand for it down the road. But that would've still been niche compared to the military sales and pocket pistol sales. It wasn't until later that full-size pistols became more popular for civilian ownership. By which point Browning had the Hi-Power.
    2
  3984.  @PrototypeSpaceMonkey  9x19mm wasn't universal yet in 1914. It was already popular, but it wasn't until later that it became the default military pistol cartridge. Had WW1 come a bit later and the Belgian military (or the Serbian military, which IIRC also had some interest) adopted the Grand Browning, the 9.65mm round would've come into wide-scale production and would've been seen as a perfectly normal caliber.

  3996. The "world leaders policy" was invented specifically to protect Trump's account. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had been protecting Trump from getting banned for years, even before he was elected. As Twitter got more and more criticism for letting Trump violate their rules, Dorsey made up the "world leaders policy" to explain why they let Trump get away with anything. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they get rid of that "policy" shortly after Trump can no longer be considered a "world leader".
    2
  3997. The premise that Biden was "overcoming the odds" when he literally never trailed Trump in the polls is pretty bizarre. The fact that incumbents normally have a huge advantage doesn't mean they always do.
    2
  3998. Also, the premise that Biden was ever losing in the primary is wrong. Iowa is a tiny state with a less diverse, more conservative electorate. And it's a caucus, which means an inherently low turnout. Iowa's importance has for decades been ridiculously overrated in Democratic primary campaigns. That is a lesson that candidates should take to heart going forward: if you do badly in Iowa, who cares? It's just Iowa.

If the tsar had minded his own business in 1914 when Austria was retaliating against the Serbian assassination of their heir to the throne, it would've just been a brief regional war instead of World War I. And in 1939, the German invasion of Poland likely would've failed (bringing the Nazi regime to an early end) if not for the USSR also invading Poland at the same time.

  4041.  @Yusuke_Denton  Trump voters were not "disenfranchised". It's not disenfranchisement simply because the guy you voted for loses. And your assertion that Romney "probably" won is if anything even more laughable than the claim that Trump won.

  4043. If the Super Tiger had been bought by Germany and Japan, there probably would've been further export orders. Given that French Air Force had already looked at it and were impressed but uninterested in buying foreign, it seems like there would've been a good chance of the French Navy choosing it rather than the F-8E Crusader for their carrier-based fighter. (None of the Mirages were suitable for carrier operation, so there wasn't any domestic competition for that contract.) But what I'd really love to see is what some smaller nations might do to upgrade their Super Tigers when their budget doesn't allow for buying brand-new fighters. Imagine if in the 1980s somebody replace the J79 with an F404 turbofan and the AN/APG-50 radar with AN/APG-65.

  4047. Johny Smith Right here in this very video, he claims that Russia didn't do anything to interfere with the 2016 election. That's a mindless conspiracy theory. He also claims in this video that there was election fraud that cheated Bernie out of winning the Democratic primary (nevermind that he lost in a landslide and never polled ahead of Hillary). He also peddles his usual conspiracy theory claim that Assad didn't actually use chemical weapons against insurgents in Syria. As for conspiracy theories that Jimmy pushes outside of this particular video, he's claimed that the mass shooting in Los Vegas last year was a false flag. He's told a Pizzagater that "there's something to what he's saying" and that "you're not far off". He claims that the poising of Sergei Skripal was a false flag. Dore claims that Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails to Wikileaks and that's why he was murdered. Oh yeah, and he's a 9/11 truther. Literally, he thinks the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and that it was demolition charges rather than airplanes that took the towers down.

  4050. And regarding sending elements of the Black Sea Fleet as part of the 2nd Pacific Squadron, while certainly many of the Black Sea ships were ill-suited for operating in a long range ocean-going fleet, the same could be said of quite a few of the Baltic Fleet ships that actually did make it to Tsushima. Particularly those in the unwanted reinforcements of the 3rd Pacific Squadron. Certainly I doubt Rozhestvensky would've complained about having Rostislav and Potemkin sail with him. As far as whether the Ottoman Empire would allow them to leave the Black Sea? I think the bigger issue would be that even if the enlarged 2nd Pacific Squadron had managed to win at Tsushima, the Ottomans would be unlikely to let those ships back into the Black Sea. Meaning that Russia would've been left with no choice but to permanently station those ships at Vladivostok and desperately build replacements in the Black Sea.

As for Sinema, isn't she already a pariah with voters? But the DOJ should dig deep to find whether there's any corruption charges she could be hit with. If Sinema's forced to resign there'd have to be a special election, meaning we wouldn't need to wait until 2024 to get a real Democrat in that seat. If nobody else is going to play by the rules, we have to go just as dirty to beat them. We're not going to win if the other guy keeps showing up with a gun and we still try to have a fistfight.

The only vehicles Russia is mass-producing are the ones they already have the tooling set up for.

Best chance of that would've been if USS Granite State (a training ship that was formerly the 3rd-rate USS New Hampshire) hadn't caught fire in 1921. Though what really would've been amazing to see would be USS Pennsylvania, basically a super-1st-rate (rated 130 guns, and all 3 gun decks having a uniform armament of 32-pounder cannons). Sadly she was in Norfolk when the Civil War broke out, and thus was burned to the waterline so the Confederates couldn't seize her.

The problem is, while that scenario is plausible given that they had a history, how would anybody go about proving it? The only ways it could be proved would be if Chauvin confessed, or if told his fellow officers that's what he was going to do and one of them flipped on him. And even if it actually did happen, there's no way any of them would admit it. tl;dr It might actually have been 1st degree, but if it was it would be impossible to prove.

It would be enormously difficult at the very least for somebody to create a virus or bacteria that's deadly to one ethnic group while harmless to others.

  4111.  @michasosnowski5918  Russia's expressed "concerns" were all completely disingenuous. They knew damned well that NATO was never going to invade them. And it was never "the USA expanding NATO east", it was the nations of Eastern Europe (every last one of them a past victim of Russian invasions) begging to be admitted into NATO to make sure Russia could never do it again. And that's the actual "threat" that Putin saw from "NATO expansion": that each new member of NATO is one less country he has the option of invading. And if invading a nation is taken off the table, Russia can also no longer use the threat of invasion to pressure that nation into adopting pro-Russia policies. Which really puts a crimp in Putin's plans to be the new Peter the Great, restoring Russia to the imperial greatness he thinks it's entitled to. Similarly, the notion that "nuclear deterrent was being rendered useless" as a motive for the Russian invasion is also nonsense. Because Russia's war strategy has been totally reliant in nuclear deterrent preventing the USA or other NATO members from directly joining the war on Ukraine's side. Even the most delusional of Russians know full well that they'd lose, and lose quickly, if such intervention happened. As such, Putin's willingness to invade at all was completely predicated on the (so far correct) assumption that his nuclear arsenal would be enough to prevent the West from joining the fight.

  4112.  @svenhanson398  The entire premise that the Donbas people "wanted more autonomy" is dubious at best. Most of the population was perfectly fine with their existing status in Ukraine. The "Donetsk People's Republic" and "Luhansk People's Republic" were not elected governments of the people of Donbas, or even rebel groups with genuine popular support. They were purely creations of Russia, with the bulk of their "militias" being the notorious "little green men": entire Russian Army units with all the insignia removed from their uniforms and painted over on their tanks. It's literally no different than if the CIA were to gather a few Siberians together and declare them the "Siberian People's Republic" with demands that they be recognized as the government of Siberia, and that the region be granted autonomy from Moscow. And for the 1st Marine Division to be snuck into Siberia fully equipped but insisting they're all native Siberians. That would be equivalent to how brazen Russia's "support" for the otherwise miniscule separatist movement in Donbas was.

  4113.  @svenhanson398  There was no "Ukraine attack in 2014", it was Russia that attacked Ukraine in 2014. Claiming that "outside observers had not noticed any Russian troops in Ukraine" is a blatant lie. The presence of the "little green men" (Russian soldiers with the insignia removed from their uniforms) was widely noticed and reported on from the very start.

  4114.  @svenhanson398  The nonsense about a "Maidan coup" and "new fascist regime taking over" are more blatant lies. Also, Odesa never had a Russian military base (that's Sevastopol) and never held any referendum.

  4115.  @svenhanson398  Nuland's phone call "proves" no such thing. There is no "Duma" in Ukraine, and the Verkhovna Rada was never invaded. Nobody "forced" a vote to oust Yanukovych, the Rada voted him out after he'd already fled to Russia. The "little green men" (in both Crimea and Donbas) were not the Russian Navy personnel from the base at Sevastopol, they were Russian Army troops who invaded Ukraine from the east.

  4125.  @robertjenkins6132  Increasing the size of the House is also something that absolutely needs to be done, though. If you compare it to the other democracies in the world, our legislature is shockingly small relative to our population. The House has been at 435 seats since 1913, when the US population was 97 million. The population as of last year was 327 million. That leaves us with one Representative per 752,000 people. To bring the ratio of House seats to population back to the level that it was in 1913, we'd need nearly 1,500 Representatives. And that would still be a very small size relative to the total US population. By comparison, for example, Germany has 709 members of its Bundestag to represent a total population of 83 million. And the UK's House of Commons has 650 members to represent 66 million people. For the House of Representatives to have a similar ratio would require around 3,000 seats. While the electoral college is still an idiotic system, an enlarged House would largely nullify the biggest problem with it, the fact that somebody can easily lose the popular vote but still win the election. Those extra two electoral votes per state for the Senate seats would no longer skew things so much in favor of the small states, if even tiny Wyoming and Vermont would each get 5 House seats. Currently Wyoming has 3 electoral votes, or one per 192,500 people. With a 3,000 seat House, they'd have 7, or one per 82,500 people. Currently California has 55 electoral votes, or one per 719,200 people. With a 3,000 seat House, they'd have 365 electoral votes, or one per 108,400 people. That's still not actual "one person, one vote" for for a presidential election, but it's a hell of a lot closer than what we have now.

  4131. That might be a bit of a hard sell given that the Rafale is already there for anybody who wants a heavier twin-engine fighter with greater payload than the Gripen. The Gripen's biggest selling point is that it has much lower operating costs than other 4.5-gen fighters, while still having equivalent air-to-air capability and not that much worse air-to-ground. I'm not sure if trying to compete even more directly with the Rafale than they currently do would be to Saab's benefit.

Something that AfD opposes. AfD also opposes CDU's top priority of restoring Germany's depleted military. Because AfD wants Germany to be subordinate to Russia, unable to defend itself.

  4135. You're engaged in you own M4A propaganda, with regard to Warren's plan. You pretend that her plan is unique for having a transition period between the current shitshow of private health insurance and the end goal of Medicare for All. In reality, Bernie's plan also has such a transition. He's not an idiot, he knows that it wouldn't be possible to just end private insurance and replace it with an expanded Medicare in a single day. Bernie's plan expands the age limits of Medicare downward from the current 65 every year, until it covers everybody. But here's the thing. Warren's transition plan for M4A starts out with more people covered than Bernie's does. Bernie starts out with taking the Medicare age down to 55 in the first year. Warren's plan starts out with it at age 50.

  4140. Officially Hood was a battlecruiser. But then, British understanding of "battlecruiser" was already evolving into what we now know as the fast battleship by the time Hood was laid down. They'd recognized the shortcomings of their existing battlecruisers and the merits of Germany's better-armored ones, and adapted their designs to those lessons. Just look at the Royal Navy's follow-up to Hood, the G3 battlecruiser. If built, that would've been a ship approximating the same size and speed as the latter Iowa-class BBs and even had somewhat better armor (improvements in metallurgy notwithstanding).

The Ganguts had the same armament and while their armor was weaker, it was considered more economical to repair and refit them instead because they were (aside from Poltava/Frunze, which never entered Soviet service due to severe damage in a fire in 1919) in much better condition. An even better option for the Soviets would've been completing the battlecruiser Izmail, which was better-armored than the Ganguts and much better-armed with 12 356mm guns. Or completing Izmail as an aircraft carrier. But the Red Army didn't want the Navy getting a larger share of the budget, so none of that happened.

  4182. Yeah, the Pantsir uses a Gast gun (a double-barrel system in which the recoil of one barrel provides the energy to load the other barrel). The Soviet Union had a lot of experience with that system for both aircraft cannons (the GSh-23 and GSh-30-2) and 2A38 cannon of the Tunguska. So it was unsurprising that Russia stuck with the 2A38 for the Pantsir.

  4193. There was also the French Latecoere 298, which was specifically designed for use as a shipboard torpedo and dive bomber. It was about the same speed as the TBD Devastator despite the extra drag of its pair of floats. Granted, the TBD was terrible by the time of WW2, but it's still impressive for a floatplane to have similar performance to its non-floatplane contemporary. Had the Late 299 (the non-floatplane version) gone past the prototype stage it probably would've made for a good bomber for the planned French carriers. (I'm still waiting for the seaplane tender Commandant Teste with Late 298 bombers and Loire 210 fighters as a low-tier premium aircraft carrier in World of Warships. Since CVs aren't going to be removed, we should get the funny stuff at least.)

The fact that you think a so-called "botched Afghanistan withdrawal" is fascism is a perfect encapsulation of your idiocy. Not to mention, what was actually "botched" about the Afghanistan withdrawal is that it should've happened years ago. Also, claiming that Trump only "wants to America back 20-25 years" is a farce. He wants to take us "back" to an America that never actually existed.

Germany was actually even less ready for war than Britain and France in 1938. Allowing Germany to absorb Czechoslovakia made them much stronger in 1939 when the war actually broke out. If Britain and France had gone to war a year earlier, Germany would've been defeated by 1940 at the latest.

And the fact that Trump vacations at the resorts he owns is part of how he embezzles taxpayer money into those resorts. He charges extravagant rental fees from his own Secret Service bodyguards, instead of doing what would be entirely within his power as owner of the resort and giving them the rooms for free. That alone has netted Trump many millions of dollars from his presidency, far beyond the $400k annual salary that he makes a show of donating.

  4221. Not if you build a giant cruiser with part of your capital ship tonnage. Which is something that France actually considered doing. One of the early design studies that eventually led to the Dunkerque-class was for a 17,500 ton "battleship" with 305mm guns in two forward quad turrets, a top speed of 35 knots, and armored to protect against 203mm guns (it doesn't seem to have been listed exactly how thick this armor would be, but a belt of around 180mm seems likely). They ended up deciding that while this would do quite well in chasing down and destroying Italian heavy cruisers, the armor was insufficient to guarantee stopping the Deutschland-class's 283mm guns. As such, Dunkerque ended up designed at 26,500 tons (still far below the 35,000 limit), with two quad 330mm guns, 29.5 knot top speed, and 225mm belt. (In practice, Dunkerque actually achieved 31 knots.)

  4222. Torque would probably be an issue, since it's it's not a contra-rotating prop. Given RFB's focus on "handles like a jet, except slow and simple enough for basic training" it's a bit surprising that they didn't go with contra-rotating so that there'd be zero torque. But maybe they deemed the torque to be minor enough to be not worth worry about.

  4231. Yeah, there were at least four tiny changes that each could've resulted in the bomb plot's success in killing Hitler. 1. Stauffenberg doesn't get interrupted by a guard while arming the second charge of the bomb. 2. Stauffenberg puts the second charge into his briefcase without arming it (testing has shown the blast of the first charge would've ignited the second). 3. Colonel Brandt doesn't move the briefcase after Stauffenberg leaves the room. 4. Stauffenberg goes back to the room after the blast to verify Hitler's death, then shoots him when he finds that Hitler is stunned but still alive. Of course, the big question is what happens next. The Valkyrie plotters were gambling that with Hitler eliminated and the Nazis removed from power, the US and UK would be willing to accept a negotiated peace. But Stalin wouldn't accept anything other than total German surrender, and by July1944 the Germans weren't in any position to stop the Soviet advance even if they could withdraw every last man and tank from the Western Front to fight in the East. Nor is it likely that Germany would've been able to convince the Western Allies to actually switch sides and join them in fighting the Soviets at that point. So Germany's best-case scenario would be to simply surrender in 1944 and end up in the same situation as they did in the actual timeline (divided into zones of occupation and then split into West and East Germany for decades), but with several million fewer deaths because the final year of the war gets skipped. Also with fewer war crimes trials, since Stauffenberg and company would've already killed a bunch of the top war criminals. (Though some of the plotters were themselves guilty of war crimes, and it's unlikely the Allies would've let them off the hook simply because they killed Hitler.)

  4251. IIRC, part of the reason that Warspite was scrapped so quickly was, aside from Britain's dire financial state, Warspite was in terrible material condition after that Fritz X hit. As in, without some refitting probably would've been needed even just to make her a museum ship. So you guys had more of an excuse than the US did with USS Enterprise. The most decorated ship in our nation's entire naval history, and scrapped during the greatest economic boom period in our nation's history. We could've easily afforded to preserve her, but just didn't bother.

  4252.  @themanformerlyknownascomme777  It wasn't a matter of whether a triple 18 could be fit on a 108 foot beam, but that doing so would require a significantly wider barbette than was used for triple 16s. Tillman IV-1 and IV-2 were able to fit those wider barbettes because they weren't designed for speed in the way that Montana and especially Iowa were, having a maximum speed of only 25.2 knots. While Iowa's beam is the same 108 feet at maximum, her hull narrows much more rapidly as you approach the bow in order to allow her 33 knot speed. The limitations imposed by this are most significant when you get to the forwardmost turret, where there's IIRC less that 1 foot of clearance between the barbette and the inner bulkhead of the torpedo defense system.

The President cannot spend any federal money other than as authorized by Congress. Congress has total control over spending. Congress passed a budget, which Trump signed, that specifically forbids spending any money on a border wall. Thus, any money Trump spends for that purpose is illegal.

Maryland was both laid down and completed a full 2 years ahead of Colorado, and was also launched almost exactly 1 year ahead of Colorado.

Indentured servants also received that status either to pay off debts or as punishment for a crime they were convicted of. And claiming that food stamps are similar to slavery is psychotic. Food stamps do not involve forcing people to work without pay, and torturing or murdering them if they refuse. There is literally no similarity at all between food stamps or any other welfare program and slavery.

Because those numbers you posted about the "cost of illegals" are complete bullshit. On top of that, $5 billion couldn't even cover the land acquisition for a border wall, let alone the actual building of it. The actual cost would be upward of $70 billion. And would probably balloon significant higher given that the ultra-corrupt Trump administration would never allow such a large project to happen without filling it with tons of graft. And then there's the ongoing costs of maintaining such a wall, the fact that it would actually have almost no impact on illegal immigration, and the fact that it would be a massive environmental disaster.

  4276. My thought is that since Strasbourg managed 8x 13" guns and 11" belt on 28k tons, a 29k ton British BB using quad turrets should be able to achieve 8x 14" and at least 12" belt. Since 28 knots was seen as adequate by the Royal Navy, you'd be able to get away with a somewhat shorter hull with less machinery space than the 30 knot Strasbourg. This leaves both less tonnage devoted to the hull itself and a slightly shorter citadel that the belt needs to cover. A 13" belt for the magazines and 12" for the machinery (in keeping with the Royal Navy design philosophy of the time that the magazines needed heavier armor) seems like it ought to be doable. Even better if the design incorporated angled armor. This was excluded from the KGV design apparently so that the belt could be externally mounted and thus more easily repaired.

  4296.  @thatontariofarmer  IIRC, the WW2 battleship HMS King George V was originally going to be named King George VI. It had long been common practice for one of the first capital ships of a monarch's reign to be named after him or her. But George VI preferred the ship be named after his father. And since that battleship remained in commission for the rest of his reign, it would've been confusing to have both HMS King George V and HMS King George VI. At any rate, it was announced in May that the 4th Dreadnought-class missile submarine will be HMS King George VI.

  4302.  @gaeron1305  I figure that because I can do basic math. No candidate can get a majority of the popular vote by only paying attention to 10-15 states. While it's true that the 10 largest state contain a majority of the US population, electoral college apologists (deliberately) ignore the fact that no candidate is ever going to get all of the votes in those states. Even in deep-blue California and New York, about 40% of the vote went to Trump (the most hated candidate by Democrats ever). Despite him losing that state in a landslide, California still had more Trump voters than any other state. 6 million Californians voted for him, compared to 5.9 million Texans. And again, that's just about the worst outcome a Republican can get in California. Even if you assume that in a nationwide popular vote election, the Democrat would pay a lot more attention to California and thus pick up more votes there...your argument ignores the fact that the highest-population states are very different from each other. There's not going to be a candidate who can pull of landslide, super-majority wins in California and also have great appeal in Texas and Florida. If you look at the top 10-15 states that you think would be all anybody pays attention to in a popular vote election, you'll see that some of them are deep blue states, some are deep red states, and some are purple states. While the top 15 states are nearly 2/3 of the US population, it's not possible for any candidate to have broad enough appeal to get a majority of the vote out of just those states. The reality is that if the presidential election were decided by popular vote, candidates would spreading their attention to every state, because they'd need to rack up as many votes as possible. Every vote would be equally valuable, whereas under the electoral college most votes can be taken for granted because we already know which way most states will vote. We have 24 states that always vote Republican and 17+DC that always vote Democratic. So the remaining 9 states are the only ones candidates have to pay attention to. The only reason for them to visit any of the other states are to raise money.
    2
  4303.  @gaeron1305  The very fact that there's a distinction of "important states" shows what's wrong with the electoral college system. Also, most states are completely ignored. The only reason a presidential candidate ever visits California and Texas is to hold fundraisers, not to try to pick up votes. Everybody knows the Democrat will win California and the Republican will win Texas, but there's a lot of rich people in those states who will give money to their preferred candidate.

  4304.  @52flyingbicycles  Seriously, prior to Elon Musk going full mask-off fascist, the biggest warning sign that he's actually a dumbass was the fact that he thinks colonizing a completely dead planet like Mars would be a viable "backup plan" for humanity. If another asteroid just as big as the one that took out the dinosaurs was about to hit Earth tomorrow, we'd still be better off staying on Earth than trying to flee to Mars.

There's no way they'd let (for example) the M16A2 not count as a machine gun. But it seems like the definition ought to be one trigger pull fires more than one bullet out of the same barrel. A double-barrel firearm where a single trigger pull fires a single bullet out of each barrel should not be designated as a machine gun under the law.

  4338.  @stivvits1067  That's the literal opposite of what happened. Nobody gets "invited" to join NATO. Nations have to apply to join NATO, and convince all of the current members to allow them in. And contrary to Russia's "NATO expansion" narrative, it was actually quite difficult for the former Warsaw Pact members to convince the US to allow them into NATO. The US in the 1990s should've done more to "contain Russia". Instead, the main focus of the US was a naive attempt to coax Russia into becoming a Western-style liberal democracy, and paying no attention at all to preventing Russia from reconquering the other former Soviet republics. The US attitude in the 90s was that Russia was the only ex-Soviet republic that mattered.
    2
  4339.  @stivvits1067  Russia's pretense that NATO is an "existential threat" to them is complete and utter nonsense. The only thing NATO "threatens" is Russia's ability to invade its neighbors. If Russia was willing to peacefully coexist, NATO wouldn't be a problem to them at all. (Hell, at the beginning of Putin's presidency, he didn't consider NATO a problem. It was only when he decided to engage in expansionist wars that it became a problem to him.) Also, the Warsaw Pact was very obviously not a voluntary alliance of equals. The Soviet Union imposed puppet governments on the nations it was militarily occupying, and forced them to join the Warsaw Pact.

When the 20,000 ton D-class cruisers were cancelled in favor of 32,000 ton battleships, there was serious consideration almost from the very start to switching to 38cm guns, but ultimately Hitler decided to stick with the 28cm so he could have his battleships as soon as possible.

  4365.  @Dembilaja  Poland has also provided a handful of their Leopard 2A4s to Ukraine. Nearly all of their T-72s have been handed to Ukraine, with any remaining probably being in too poor condition to do anything other than scrap or strip down for parts (it's know that they had about 100 in storage that were in bad shape). There are still about a hundred Twardys left in Poland, but they're presumably getting phased out soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same with their remaining Leopards, since they're going to be by far the least numerous of Poland's MBTs once all the Abrams are delivered and domestic K2PL production begins, which would make them the easiest ones to get rid of (or at least put into storage) to reduce the logistical complications. Aside from planning for an eventual 1,000 K2PL, Poland is also buying 506 HIMARS and 288 K239 Chunmoo (a Korean platform that's compatible with the M270 MLRS/HIMARS ammunition). They're very serious about becoming one of Europe's top armies.

  4370.  @MrSerenitysEnd  The thing about Gotland is that by WW2 her seaplanes capacity was unimpressive since she could only carry Hawker Ospreys. And her layout was predicated on not going on the kinds of long journeys that a convoy escort requires, hence the lack of a hangar for those seaplanes. You don't want your seaplanes unprotected when dealing with North Atlantic weather. A convoy escort seaplane cruiser would need to be much a more substantial ship than Gotland. At which point it's probably too big and expensive to be relegated to convoy duty. Probably the best bet for such an escort cruiser would've been conversions of the old Hawkins-class cruisers. You've got a 10,000 ton cruiser so there's plenty of size to work with, while their outdated armament (7.5-inch single mounts with only gun shields rather than proper turrets) and sub-30 knot speed mean they're no longer that useful in all the other roles a cruiser has to play. removing some of the aft guns to make room for a hangar and catapult wouldn't have been any great loss. And the result would've still looked like a cruiser, so any surface raider smaller than Scharnhorst would've been deterred.

  4378. The entrance to Stanley Harbour is slightly less than twice the length of a Scharnhorst-class cruiser. Of which Spee conveniently enough had two. His best option was to have Schanrhorst and Gneisenau make their best speed to the harbor entrance and each of them runs itself aground on one of the peninsulas, with their sterns close enough together than nothing bigger than a rowboat will fit between them. Then fire away for as long they're able to until he's destroyed. At which point instead of a pair of intact cruisers blocking the the harbor it's a pair of wrecked cruisers...which are equally difficult to remove. Sturdee's battlecruisers would've been bottled up until the wrecks could be cleared, giving Spee's light cruisers a few months head start for either trying to run the North Sea blockade or do commerce raiding until they're caught. And deprives the Royal Navy of 2 out of their (at the time) 10 battlecruisers for however many months it takes to clear the wrecks. This also would've probably rendered Inflexible not yet available for bombarding Gallipoli in March 1915, meaning some other capital ship would've had to go in her place.

  4412. With regard to German dreadnought gun calibers, they did have the 35cm (13.8"), but were only intended for battlecruisers. As for Britain going from 13.5" to 15" while also reducing the number of guns, aside from the early consideration of 10x 15", there's also the fact that the square-cube law makes the jump from 13.5" to 15" a bigger one (in terms of the shell's weight and the weight of its bursting charge, and by extension the weight of broadside) than was the jump from 12" to 13.5". And the same would've been true of the initial plan for G3 to use a 16.5" gun, before they ultimately decided 16" like everybody else was adopting was a really good size. Oh, and the navy using dreadnoughts that opted to make the biggest jump in gun size (at least as planned) was Italy, going from 13x 12" on the Cavour and Duilio classes to 8x 15" for Caracciolo. And such a large jump in caliber almost doubled the shell weight, and thus would've had a heavier broadside despite such a large reduction in the number of guns.

  4426.  @bkjeong4302  Because the twin turret design already existed and was proven to work well. Designing a triple turret (which would've been the first such turret ever built in Japan) would've slowed down the design and construction process. That's the exact same reason the Fuso and Ise classes didn't use triple turrets, even though some of the designs in consideration called for them.

Number 13 would compare quite well with the 1920 South Dakota. Comparable armor (15° angled 330mm belt vs unangled 343mm, 127mm deck vs 152mm), more powerful armament (4x2 460mm/50 vs 4x3 406mm/50), and vastly superior speed (30 knots vs 23). It wasn't a particularly innovative design like N3 and G3, but it was still a good design for the era.

  4433. Not sure about that, but if you go later down the timeline one likely result of the Maltas being built and having a long service life would be that the Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon as we know them wouldn't exist. The primary reason France dropped out of what would become the Eurofighter program was that they placed high priority on a carrier-based version, whereas none of the other partners had carriers and thus had zero interest in that. If the Maltas were around, Britain would be equally in need of a new carrier-based fighter. Thus, either France would remain in the program, or both Britain and France would leave and go for a joint Dassault/British Aerospace product. If it were the latter, given how central BAe was to the Typhoon's development I'm not sure whether the project could've survived at all with just Germany, Italy, and Spain. Either way, I'm guessing the end result would be something uglier than the Rafale but not as ugly as the Typhoon. :P

Russia's invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 all proved how the rest of Eastern Europe made exactly the right decision by joining NATO.

  4479. Had the KGV-class been build to use the 15"/42 guns from the Revenge-class,, the most likely scenario would've been if the Revenge-class had already been retired prior to the KGV-class being conceived, resulting in those guns being placed into storage. If the R-class had been retired to comply with the London Naval Treaty in 1930, that would've meant Tiger and all 4 Iron Duke-class would've been retained instead. Presumably the reasoning for such a choice would be that whole the R's had better guns and thicker armor, the Iron Dukes had a greater potential for modernization, and Tiger's speed would make her more useful for hunting commerce raiders. And the Iron Dukes would've been just as capable as the R-class, if not more so, for the convoy escort role.

  4488. Funny how Trump talks about not wanting to be like Herbert Hoover, given that he's the only President in the last century to have a worse economic record than Hoover did. And as usual, everything is projection. He claims the current economy is running on the fumes of what he did. In reality, Trump's economy that he insisted was the best in history was actually just running on the fumes of the Obama economy, until it crashed catastrophically in the Trump Recession of 2020. Oh, and Keystone XL didn't involve anywhere near 48,000 jobs. It didn't even involve 48 jobs.

  4503.  @waverleyjournalise5757  When Scharnhorst and Gneisenau encountered Renown (not Repulse) off Lofoten, they disengaged with minimal damage inflected on both sides. Because in the poor visibility, British destroyers were mistaken for more capital ships, and Lutjens was a cautious commander under orders to avoid risking his battleships whenever possible. Had he pressed the attack, it would've been very surprising if Renown emerged victorious against both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. While their 11-inch guns were less powerful, it's still 18 guns against 6, and those guns are quite sufficient to punch through Renown's 9-inch belt armor out to beyond 21,000 yards.

  4506. That's what Italy did with their battleships. Replacing the 12" guns with 12.6" (the largest they could manage in the same turrets; in fact they did it by boring out the existing barrels to a larger caliber). But IIRC, only Italy and France were even allowed to do this. Being much smaller navies who weren't in direct competition with the US, UK, and Japan, some aspects of the Washington Naval Treaty were relaxed for them. They were also allowed to resume battleship construction earlier than the major powers, since their newest battleships at the time of the treaty signing were significantly older and weaker.

Each of them was individually inferior to Bismarck (Hood in terms of armor, though aside from the deck not by as much as most people think, and PoW in terms of armament), but the two of them together should've had the advantage. Though the best chance of victory would have been if Vice-Admiral Holland hadn't been in such a rush to engage, and instead had continued shadowing Bismarck until more capital ships could arrive from the south. Or even just waited until the cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk could catch up and weather could improve enough for his destroyer screen (Electra, Acates, Antelope, Anthony, Echo, and Icarus) to get involved. Sadly, Holland pulled a Beatty and screwed it all up by rushing into battle and putting his best-armored ship at the back instead of the front.

  4522. With regard to Lyon's inferior guns compared to what would've been her contemporaries...there was a 1920 design study for Normandie that would've involved completing her with the quad 340mm guns replaced with twin 406mm. If something similar had been done to the Lyon design, 4x2 406mm would've resulted in firepower as good as anything else in service. The turret layout and the armor would've still been inferior to Colorado and Nagato, though.

  4532. While it was faster than any Harrier-derived aircraft would ever achieve, the Mirage IIIV was a fundamentally flawed concept. Those eight lift jets it needed to take off vertically meant it carried a literal ton of dead weight around once it transitioned to horizontal flight. Those lift jets were almost 10% of the Mirage IIIV's total weight, but were completely useless except on takeoff and landing. The internal volume they took up also meant it could carry much less fuel than a CTOL fighter of the same size, a problem compounded by the fact that vertical takeoff will expend more fuel than conventional takeoff to lift any given amount of weight, since you're brute-forcing your way into the air rather than having aerodynamic lift help you.

  4541. 23:30 With regard to a dreadnought with larger than 6" guns, there actually were at least a couple of designs with very large secondaries, though in both cases they existed only on paper. So Two of the earliest designs for what became the Austro-Hungarian Tegetthoff-class (Vorprojekt I and Vorprojekt II) had 4x2 30.5cm main guns and either 10x1 or 4x2 19cm secondaries. In those forms they were arguably only pseudo-dreadnoughts. Ultimately, Vorprojekt VIII (4x3 30.5cm and 10x1 15cm) formed the basis of the Tegetthoff-class http://www.viribusunitis.ca/bb-bc-pre-designs-vu There's also a few to be found among the many designs proposed by Armstrong for Brazil in the process that eventually led to Rio de Janeiro/HMS Agincourt. Design 686 (designed with the direct input of a Brazilian admiral) called for 4x2 16"/45 main guns and 3x2 9.4"/50 secondaries. At one point this was actually expected to be the ship Brazil was going to order in 1911. Meaning that the most powerful of the super-dreadnoughts (at least until the Colorado and Nagato classes) would've been in part a throwback to pre-dreadnought design. https://stefsap.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/the-brazilian-dreadnoughts-1904-1914/ https://stefsap.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/sistema-pugliese-da-dg-231.jpg https://stefsap.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/sistema-pugliese-da-dg-291.jpg https://stefsap.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/sistema-pugliese-da-dg-301.jpg

  4557. Design Y would've been far more expensive than the Revenge and Renown classes, so building 7 or 8 of them seems unlikely. My guess would be that you'd have 4 of them, 5 at most. I figure that this also would result in the Admiral class being delayed by a year. There's be demands from the Admiralty that they be a clear improvement over Design Y, and merely having an extra inch of belt armor wouldn't be enough to meet that standard. So you end up with Hood and at least one of her sisters laid down in 1917 with an armament of 4x2 16-inch guns and a normal displacement of upward of 48,000 tons. With the US and Japan laying down Maryland and Nagato in the same year, and their sister ships soon to follow, the Royal Navy wouldn't have cancelled Hood's sisters. Getting 16-inch capital ships in service to match the other great powers would be a top priority. When the Washington Naval Treaty is being negotiated, Hood and Rodney have already been completed but Anson and Howe are halted. Since Britain is no longer in a situation of lacking any 16-inch capital ships, they don't get the exemption from the building holiday that allowed the Rodney class in reality. With Anson and Howe's hulls still existing, Britain would be in a position of being able to convert them into large aircraft carriers as the US did with Lexington and Saratoga and Japan did with Akagi and Kaga.

While she was employed as floating flak battery, unlike other ships the Kriegsmarine used for that purpose her boilers were not removed and thus she could still sail at 20 knots.

It wasn't a direct hit on USS White Plains, but the near miss temporarily crippled her and warped her keel. And straddling a moving target at 32 km range is very good gunnery indeed. There's a good chance the next salvo would've put White Plains down. The gunners clearly had the range dialed in on her. But Kurita mistook it for a direct hit and thought the billowing smoke was a boiler explosion, so they were ordered to move on to the next target.

  4634. Why did the IJN want the Yamatos to engage 2 enemy battleships at once, instead of using their enormous firepower to take down each enemy as quickly as possible and then shift fire to the next? I know it's not a great idea to leave some of the ships in the enemy battle line completely unengaged, so that they can fire away at you for free. But when your battle line is substantially outnumbered by the enemy's, you're in a bad situation no matter what. If you're splitting one ship's firepower between two targets, that means both of them probably stay in the game longer. Whereas if you concentrate all of your firepower on a single enemy, you have a much greater chance of silencing its guns quickly. So why not just ignore the secondary target and hope that Yamato's ridiculously thick armor can just tank their fire until you shift attention to them? Being the 1 in a 2v1 is terrible odds regardless, but splitting your fire means you're going to remain in a 2v1 for much longer.

  4647. Kongo and Tiger were being designed at the same time. They were both direct improvements over the Lion design (Lion's sister ship Princess Royal was contracted to Vickers, giving them access to the complete blueprints while they designed Kongo). After Kongo's design became known, Tiger's construction was delayed to see if there was anything worth copying, because Kongo recognized as a very good battlecruiser. But the major stuff like hull form and turret layout had already been set by this point. It's simply their common ancestry to Lion that made them so similar.

  4655. While Bristol is the size of a cruiser, she only had the armament of a destroyer. I always found it inexplicable that the Type 82 was designed with so much empty space and made so little use of its size.
    2
  4656.  @jai_is_bnuuying  I was more comparing Bristol to her immediate predecessors, the Type 42 destroyers. While they have a significantly smaller Sea Dart magazine, otherwise they're 3/5 Bristol's displacement but almost match her armament (especially once Ikara got retired, since it was replaced by nothing instead of installing any new weapons in that now-empty forward deck space) while also having a hangar for the helicopter. And the Type 42 Batch 3 (enlarged to 2/3 Bristol's displacement) even included room to expand the Sea Dart magazine to almost as large as Bristol's, though for whatever reason (presumably the Royal Navy's eternal budget shortfalls) this option was never utilized. I feel like Bristol would've been an exceptional ship for her era if all that empty deck space aft had been utilized for a hangar (given her greater beam than the Type 42s possibly even hangars for 2 Lynxes) while raising the Sea Dart launcher so that it fires over the top of the hangar. Then replacing the Ikara launcher with a second Sea Dart launcher forward. Also, given that Sea Dart and ASROC are very similar in both length and diameter, it seems as if it wouldn't have been that difficult to modify the Sea Dart launcher to be compatible with both missiles (like what the US Navy later did with Standard MR and ASROC with the Mark 26 launcher). And instead of installing new steam turbines after they were destroyed in that original fire, just replace them with another pair of Olympus gas turbines.

  4657. There's also the possibility of reusing the turrets but replacing the old 13.5" with some of the KGV class's spare 14" barrels. IIRC, there was initial consideration of using Iron Duke as a test ship for the new guns, so they were designed to fit the old 13.5" turrets. Thought personally, I still think it would've been a good idea to keep Tiger in active service, scrap Iron Duke, and convert whichever of the Revenges was in the worst shape into a training ship. Probably Revenge herself, since she was scheduled for a refit in May 1931. The resulting additional 15"/42 turrets being available in 1940 might also result in Vanguard getting a sister ship.

  4659.  @brendonbewersdorf986  The problem with using Preussen (or Preußen as it would've been written at the time) as a raider had she survived that long would've been that as a 482 foot long 5-masted sailing ship she was one of the most distinctive vessels on the seas. There were only 2 other ~480 foot 5-masters in the world, France II and Neath (ex-R. C. Rickmers) and each of those three ships looked different enough that it'd be hard to disguise one as either of the others.

  4660.  @kommandantgalileo  Had a second Admiral-class (probably Rodney, since she was laid down before Anson and Howe) been completed before the treaty negotiations began, it would have significant impact on the Washington Naval Treaty itself. Rather than a single treaty-shattering 43k ton standard displacement ship being grandfathered in, Britain would have two of them. And with Hood and Rodney* being by far the newest and most capable capital ships of the Royal Navy, Britain would certainly insist on keeping them. With Japan adamant that they keep Mutsu (regardless of the American chicanery of listing a ship Japan had already completed and commissioned as "still under construction) and America demanding that they be allowed to complete Colorado and West Virginia as "compensation" for allowing Mutsu, in our timeline Britain pushed to be allowed a 2-ship exception to the 10 year building holiday for what would become the Nelson-class in order to maintain parity with America. If Hood has a sister ship, I would imagine both nations would be less inclined to agree to that deal. (Unless they were each given some further compensation, like being allowed to complete a Lexington and an Amagi as battlecruisers.) But aside from how it woudl've complicated the treaty negotiations, yes I'm sure Hood would've been in better shape come World War II if she had a sister ship that would be equally impressive to show the flag around the world.

  4695.  @nathanbrown8680  Goeben is also the most historically significant ship that most people have never heard of. WW1 would've probably been much shorter had she not managed to reach an Ottoman port (since while an alliance already existed on paper between the Ottoman and German empires, the Ottoman government was pretty much split down the middle on whether to actually join the way). Without Ottoman forces freeing up more German troops for the Western Front, Germany's defeat would likely have been rather more decisive, perhaps forestalling the "stab in the back" mythology that helped the Nazis come to power. Staying out of WW1 also would've extended the life of the Ottoman Empire, and whenever the inevitable collapse came it wouldn't have left the Ottoman territories under British and French occupation. Meaning that the disastrously drawn borders that gave us the modern Middle East wouldn't have happened. The war also would've ended before the US would've entered, and before the Russian Revolution would've happened. Thus, the US would've had less influence on the world stage going into the 20s, and it's possible that Communism never would have become a major factor in the world. (There's a strong possibility that the February Revolution would still happen, but without the Provisional Government having a war to pledge they'd keep fighting and without Germany sending Lenin back to Russia to cause trouble, the October Revolution becomes unlikely.) In short, if Goeben had been sunk in 1914, the world today would be almost unrecognizable.

  4713. I would put on that list of most regrettable naval defeats on where no actual shots were fired, yet soon turned out to be quite a catastrophe. And it could've been a winnable battle if better decisions had been made. That would be the escape of SMS Goeben to Turkey. Goeben only barely made it into the Dardanelles before HMS Indomitable and HMS Indefatigable caught up even with all the poor decisions made by the British and French admirals. And if Goeben had been stopped, the balance between the pro-German and pro-British factions of the Ottoman Empire might never have been tipped decisively enough for the Ottomans to enter the war. Ottoman neutrality, or even a significant delay in Ottoman entry into the war, would've been an enormous victory for the Allies, and likely would've resulted in World War I ending significantly sooner. Meaning that such events as the Gallipoli campaign, the Battles of Verdun and the Somme, the Russian Revolution, and US entry into the war would never have happened. The Armenian genocide also would be less likely to happen, and who knows how much longer the Ottoman Empire could've survived.

  4715.  @antoniolabudovic128  Possibly because Dunkirk was the hometown of famed privateer Jean Bart? Naming her after Jean Bart himself wasn't an option because when Dunkerque was under construction, the 1911 battleship of that name was still in active service. It was only after Dunkerque's launch that Jean Bart's material condition was deemed to bad to be worth further refits, resulting in her being hulked and renamed Océan, thus freeing up the name for the Richelieu-class battleship.

  4716.  @stevevalley7835  What if they removed the Q turrets and the associated barbettes and magazines from Tosa and Kaga? That might've brought them at least close to the 35,000 ton limit. It would render them rather inefficient, given that big empty space between the superstructure and X turret and now being bigger than Nagato and Mutsu without any accompanying increase in capabilities. But would that have been enough to let Japan complete the Tosas under this revised treaty? If such a thing had been agreed to, at the very least I suspect Britain would've demanded getting to build a 3rd Nelson, and the US to complete Washington in addition to Colorado and West Virginia. Actually, that probably would be the demands in exchange for Japan getting to keep a partially-disarmed Kaga alone. This being the IJN, naturally they would've put that turret, barbette, and gun barrels into storage to reinstall in the future. Though using the cleared-out space for more engines and boilers to turn Kaga into a 30+ knot fast battleship able to keep pace with the Kongos would also be a possibility.

  4729. Sadly, the World of Warships developers have deemed Mikasa a failure. And don't think pre-dreadnoughts (which would only exist at a single tier) are important enough to make the changes needed so that Mikasa will no longer be a failure. Personally I think it would be pretty easy to do. This year's Halloween event involved submarines where the player could switch between different types of torpedoes fired from different tubes. That pretty well proves the game engine would also be able to handle a ship that toggles between different types of guns. So for Mikasa and any other pre-dreadnoughts, they could easily just make it so the player can toggle between controlling the 305mm main guns and the 152mm secondary guns (or whatever calibers other ships have), and whichever set the player isn't controlling would simply be inactive until they toggle back to them. And the same thing could be done with the pre-WW1 armored cruisers that also had mixed-caliber gun batteries.

  4739. The US Navy did at least bring back the twin 8" secondary turrets sitting higher than the main armament in the Virginia, Connecticut, and Mississippi-classes. Though in the Virginias they also had another go at the Kearsarge-class's terrible idea of double-stacked turrets (8" twin secondary on top of the main gun turrets). And in all cases it was only the 8" guns that were placed high up and away from the water. The 6" or 7" guns were all casemated in the hull. Even with that design flaw, the Connecticuts were among the best of the 2nd to last generation pre-dreadnoughts (ie not counting outright semi-dreadnoughts like Satsuma, Lord Nelson, and Danton).

    1
  4788. MC315 Okay, maybe Cruz would be a better comparison. Like Sanders, he has no chance of actually winning a majority of delegates. And it never was "5 debates". It was also Sanders who demanded that there be more debates, and he's been outspending Clinton.

  4797. Dammit Cenk, Obama isn't doing warrantless wiretapping. Collecting lists of phone numbers called is not in any way the same thing as wiretapping. Why is this so hard for you to understand? You don't have to claim that the NSA spying was warrantless wiretapping to point out that it was an invasion of privacy. On the contrary, making false statements just hurts your credibility. Also, what's with the straw man bullshit about Afghanistan and drone strikes?

  4803. Dave Z V Zorro You see nothing of the sort. The violence and disruption of the right to free speech has been entirely on the part of Trump supporters. Protesting against Trump is not "attacking" Trump supporters. What's "attacking" is when Trump's supporters respond to words with fists. And Trump actively encourages the violence, even claiming he'll pay the legal fees of his supporters if they get in trouble for beating up protesters.

  4812. Ozzie Crosby There's literally nothing more gullible than denying global warming. And really, you think you're clever asking about how we came out of the last ice age? If you weren't a complete ignoramus, you'd know about the Milankovitch cycles. You'd also know that studying how the last ice age ended is exactly how climatologists discovered that the warming trend over the last century was man-made rather than natural.

  4813. It seems that all the St Louis area police departments are a cancer of racism and brutality. And frankly I don't have a problem if protesters get violent. As JFK said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

  4814. These "deals" that you're frothing at the mouth over are just Wall Street's fantasies, not something there's any reason to expect Clinton is interested in.
    1
  4815. Jonathan Verduzco That's absurd. It's out of reach for Bernie Sanders. He needs 65% of the remaining pledged delegates to gain a majority. And seeing as he's polling behind in most of the remaining states, that's clearly not going to happen.

  4816. Quasiguambo Are you serious? The voting process absolutely was fair and democratic.

  4817. Ragesauce The thing about those "scandals" is that they're bullshit. Completely without any basis in reality.

  4818. What's funny is watching people claim that math is biased. And if the American people are so opposed to "an establishment candidate", why has Hillary Clinton gotten 2.5 million more votes than Bernie Sanders?
    1
  4819. McQueenPress So what you're saying is you're a delusional kook who think that it's "rigged" when Bernie Sanders simply gets fewer votes? Then again, you're peddling the nutcase Fox News talking points about Clinton getting indicted, so of course you're a delusional kook.

    1
  4824. Azrakul We don't have those "actual voting results", you moron. The election isn't until November. And only a tiny percentage of voters participate in primaries.
    1
  4825. I would imagine that the big disadvantage there would be the FG 42 being more expensive and slower to produce.
    1
  4826. Sanders' call for a "political revolution" has certainly resonated with his supporters. But if it had resonated with the Democratic electorate as a whole he would've won the nomination. Millions of people voted for Sanders, but millions more looked at the last 8 years of a popular Democratic President and said "no thanks" to his revolution.
    1
  4827. Al Nava It's not a "mostly closed primary system" and Sanders lost the vast majority of open primaries as well. And as a third-party candidate he would've been irrelevant. That's why he ran as a Democrat.
    1
  4828. ***** So you think that's why Clinton won? You sound exactly like the Republicans who insisted that Obama won because he's black.
    1
  4829. "Purging" what eligible voters? Independents have never been eligible to vote in party primaries in New York.

  4830. Rhaegar Targaryen Trump = Night's King Trump supporters = wights

  4831. Why? We have a lot more than 4 parties, and the Libertarians and Greens are just as irrelevant as all the other minor parties that you've never heard of.
    1
  4832. Sanders winning 60/40 in California is ludicrously implausible. And it's likely that his margin of defeat in New York won't be small at all.
    1
  4833. I would say that the biggest fail is your post.
    1
  4834. Justin Waldrop Anyone who denies that the Civil War was fought over slavery is an idiot. Without slavery there would've been no secession movement and thus no Civil War.
    1
  4835. Claiming that this is a similar situation to 2008 is sheer dishonesty. And the huge flip-flop is on Sanders' part, who a couple of months ago was decrying superdelegates as undemocratic, while now he effectively says "please be undemocratic on my behalf". And Cenk, to have any sort of "unless" on whether you support superdelegates is total hypocrisy on your part. Also, Bernie Sanders absolutely hasn't been attacked yet. There has literally never been a prominent candidate who's been less attacked than Sanders. For all your complaints about how Sanders has gotten less media attention than other candidates, part of what that means is that voters no nothing negative about him. Sanders' poll numbers mean nothing.

  4836. +chuletase You don't seem to have a clue what the word theory means.

  4837. Lana Castillo Yes, of course, the fictional "social problems". Like "the rapes in Cologne" that didn't actually happen. And the nonexistent civil unrest in Sweden and Germany.

  4842. Lana Castillo No one's as delusional as a Trumptard.

  4843. The Washington Free Beacon is an ultraconservative outlet, to such a degree that it makes the likes of Fox News and the Washington Times look moderate by comparison. I have little doubt that they compiled mostly clips of Sharpton simply quoting Obama.
    1
  4844. The "lies, corruption, theft, and greed" that you Clinton-haters just know exist despite all evidence to the contrary.
    1
  4845. No, it's a sign that Sanders does best when the process is least democratic.
    1
  4846. I don't really think you can place too much emphasis on safety. Worldwide, car wrecks kill over a million people a year. In the US alone, it's 34,000. That's 93 Americans killed every day. Emphasizing safety means Elon Musk has his priorities straight.
    1
  4847. I believe the legal term for this is "depraved indifference". Meaning 2nd degree murder.

  4851. Karl A So you think it would be worth the destruction of America if rich guys lose their money? I would call that skewed priorities.
    1
  4852. Donald J Trump Given that Republican primary voters in Georgia are like 95% white, I'm guessing Trump didn't get much in the way of black people voting for him.
    1
  4853. Donald J Trump Sure, Trump got all three black Republicans to vote for him.
    1
  4854. Donald J Trump You seem to be completely clueless about how few black people vote Republican. Well you seem to be completely clueless about a lot more than that, actually.
    1
  4855. Paul Ryan has vanished because Joe Biden demolished him so thoroughly in that VP debate. Republicans spent so much time building up Ryan as if he were their smart policy guy and obsessively declaring Biden to be an idiot, that having Biden trounce Ryan just ruined the whole thing for him.
    1
  4856. +Joseph Tedros They don't have shit. That's why they keep desperately rehashing the same old already-debunked "scandals" like Benghazi.
    1
  4857. So what this shows is that they Russians don't admit to their binge-drinking.
    1
  4858. Really, that cartoon you kept flashing up is moronic. I mean, "able to dictate a nominee no matter who got the most votes" even though by your own admission they're only 15% of the overall delegates? Beyond that, there's no reason to believe that this actually will be close.
    1
  4859. Blackmark52 The superdelegates are overwhelmingly in Clinton's favor because she's looking like the clear winner. You're mixing up the cause and the effect.
    1
  4860. Blackmark52 It's not the DNC that's given Clinton significantly more votes and significantly more pledged delegates than Sanders. It's the Democratic primary and caucus voters.
    1
  4861. Kevin Lee At no point was there ever this large a delegate gap in 2008.
    1
  4862. MrTubs911 It's not that Trump is a racist because he wants stronger immigration laws. It's the opposite, he wants "stronger immigration laws" because he's racist.
    1
  4863. +Taylor Trotter No New Yorker cares that it's his birth state when he hasn't lived there in 50 years.

  4867. nycpeopleareidiots You means "victims" like proven liar "Juanita Broaddrick"? And Hitchens was a neocon asshole.
    1
  4868. nycpeopleareidiots Yet Hitchens was one of the first and loudest supporters of Bush's Iraq debacle, and continued believing he was right about Iraq to the day he died. And what "facts" regarding Juanita Broaddrick are you referring to? Perhaps the lack of evidence that she was even in the same city as as Bill Clinton at the time she claims he raped her?

  4879. Quasiguambo A handful of idiots who are "protesting" about things that never actually happened? (Their "democratic rights" were never ignored or taken away; their candidate simply lost.) No, that is not in fact news. And your post is a bunch of BS too. When you claim that Bernie Sanders "quit" the Democratic Party, you are lying. This "rift" you refer to is not an actual thing, because these protesters who say they'll never vote fro Clinton were never Democrats in the first place.
    1
  4880. +polymath7 And yet this entire video continued to act as if online polls were important and representative of something.
    1
  4881. CardSearcher911 Of course, "election fraud". Because Sanders is too perfect to have lost fairly.
    1
  4882. senta ukrai No, it doesn't "kinda count" at all. Just a reminder, Sanders has only won 4 out of 15 open primaries.
    1
  4883. senta ukrai No, they both got 7 pledged delegates in Wyoming. And I don't see you complaining about all the other cases where Sanders has gotten more delegates than his share of the vote would justify. Like in Nevada, where he lost yet might still get a majority of delegates because of shenanigans at the county conventions.
    1
  4884. senta ukrai Polls have nothing to do with delegates. What are you even talking about now? You're completely incoherent. launachan So you think the polls are skewed, I take it? Remember how well "unskewed polls" went for Romney?

  4894. drdrght Sure, the polls are "manipulated". Just like how in 2012 they were "skewed" against Romney.

    1

  4913. Gunn Damm As we can all see, you are a liar and an idiot. That's not remotely similar to what Trump said. Nothing in Sanders' position on NATO involved allowing Russia to invade NATO countries without response.
    1
  4914. Gunn Damm You remain willfully clueless. The collective security guarantee of NATO guarantees that war with Russia won't happen by guaranteeing that Russia doesn't invade any NATO member.
    1
  4915. Gunn Damm Because Russia has already refused.
    1
  4916. Gunn Damm No, moron, the condition to join is willingness to fight anyone who attacks a NATO member. Unless Russia wants to invade NATO members, they've got nothing to worry about.

Most of the recent Clinton vs Trump polls didn't even bother to ask who people would vote for in a Sanders vs Trump race. Why? Because polling is expensive, most pollsters don't want to waste resources on polling a matchup that won't even happen.

It may be still mathematically possible for Sanders to catch up, but it's extremely unlikely. Especially since next Tuesday is likely to be even worse for him than NY was. Pennsylvania and Maryland look to be huge losses for Sanders, and it's very possible that Clinton will also sweep the smaller primaries in Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island.

Remember, when they're polling Sanders supporters, they're polling people who are current Sanders supporters, and don't include the millions of people who have already abandoned him to support Clinton on account of him no longer being an actual candidate. Just look at this. 81% of Sanders supporters have already move to Clinton: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/06/26/donald-trumps-bad-month-just-got-worse-because-bernie-backers-just-rallied-to-clinton/?tid=sm_tw_pp&wprss=rss_the-fix

  5178. Sanders is getting 43 or 44 delegates out of this while Clinton gets 39 or 40. Best-case scenario is that Sanders has a net gain of 5. So no, it doesn't really change anything. Next Tuesday should be a much bigger win percentage-wise for Sanders, but the problem is that West Virginia is a much smaller state than Indiana. Only 29 delegates total, so even a landslide win probably only gives him a net gain of 9 delegates. That doesn't help much when he's trailing by almost 300 delegates. Beyond that it's impossible to give a valid prediction, because inexplicably nobody's even bothering to poll any states other than New Jersey and California.

What about the dozen other ships that were there with the carrier? They were using the same water.

  5214. +Zee Risek "Like the fact that Bernie won every state that allows for independent voters"? That's just it, he didn't win every state that allows for independent voters. He's only won 4 open primaries. Clinton has won 11. I'm not sure where this meme that Sanders wins all the open primaries came from, but it has no basis in reality. And if you include open caucuses, well there's only been 5 of those (Clinton won 1, Sanders won 4), so that brings his record in states where independents get to vote to 8 wins and 12 losses. In states where independents don't get to vote, Sanders won 3 closed primaries while Clinton won 11. He also won 7 closed caucuses while Clinton won 1. So that's 10 wins and 12 losses in those states. As you can see, it really has made very little difference to the outcomes whether independents are allowed to vote in the primaries and caucuses. The difference has been between primaries and caucuses themselves. In caucus states, Sanders has 11 wins and only 2 losses. In primary states, he has 7 wins and a whopping 22 losses. Note: All of those win-loss totals include only the primaries and caucuses in actual states, since territories have tiny delegate totals and don't get to vote in the general election anyway. But for the record that would add 2 closed caucus wins for Clinton (only American Samoa and Northern Marianas have voted yet).

  5274. Sanders himself acknowledged that Obama was the nominee in 2008 once he reached a majority of delegates with superdelegates. He did not say that everyone needed to wait until the convention vote on August 27. That's something he didn't demand until this year, to avoid admitting he's lost. http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/281302-sanders-takes-different-position-on-superdelegates-than-he-did-in-2008

  5275. The reason they didn't have an impeachment trial for Yanukovych isn't that Ukraine lacks such procedures. They have them. It's that he simply fled in advance of being impeached. It's akin to Richard Nixon in 1974, with the exception that Nixon didn't loot the US treasury and flee to Russia on his way out. It wasn't his life that Yanukovych feared for, it was his stolen wealth.

  5278. I would say stop overestimating Trump. Winning the Republican primary is not a sign of strength. And in fact, Trump lost all of the debates. It's just that Republican primary voters didn't give a fuck about debates. And no, the polls did not have Trump losing in Indiana. Where the hell did you come up with that nonsense? Literally all of the polls in the week of the primary had him winning. And the last two polls before the Indiana primary had him up by 15% and 17%.
    1
  5279. Also, you're insane if you think that Trump can suppress Democratic turnout. He is so universally despised by Democrats that he'll drive higher turnout to vote against him. And your claim that Trump does better among independents than Clinton is complete bullshit. As is your claim that there's talk about Clinton will pick a Republican for VP, something that literally no one is talking about. Trump also has zero crossover appeal. Again, he's utterly despised by the left. He's already outed himself as a massive racist.

    1
  5289. When they refer to "the Prophet Muhammad", I'm not seeing how that's any more of a "concession" than for a non-Christian to say "Jesus Christ". Remember that Christ is not a last name, it's a title. It's a derivative of the Greek word for Messiah.

  5292. elie challita Their predictions were off by a tenth of a degree, and since TheCultivatedMind wants global warming to be fake, he takes that as proof of what he wishes were true. When he talks about confirmation bias, that's what's known as projection.
    1
  5293. TheCultivatedMind The underlying theory didn't predict observations which deviate from the actual outcome. Global warming isn't about computer models. And having a tenth of a degree less warming than predicted is nothing but a minor variance.

    1
  5297. Oh and Cenk? No this campaign was not "really close" at all. 54% to 46% is a wide margin. And the popular vote margin was even wider than that.
    1
  5298. Nabeela Khan I live on the planet where Clinton has consistently supported every campaign finance reform measure that's been proposed. Have you checked her voting record at all? Also, the claims of "voter suppression and media bias" are a load of shit.
    1
  5299. ***** The popular vote is 55.6% to 42.7%. That's what's usually known as a landslide.
    1
  5300. Nabeela Khan As a matter of fact the popular vote total does include the caucuses in American Samoa, Colorado, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Northern Marianas, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Only Iowa, Nevada, Maine, Washington, Wyoming, and North Dakota do not record popular vote totals for their caucuses. As far as Clinton supposedly doing "terrible" with independents, why did she win 11 out of 16 open primaries? She also won 5 out 9 semi-closed primaries (Democrats and independents could vote) and the only semi-open primary (Democrats, independents, and minor party members could vote). So in primaries where independents could vote, Clinton won 17 out of 26.
    1

  5307. There is no case in which the nomination should go to somebody who didn't win. This is supposed to be a democracy. The voters choose who wins. Yet now that the majority of Democratic primary voters have made a choice you don't like, you think the establishment should anoint Sanders anyway? Oh, and no she is not losing to Trump in polls. Rasmussen doesn't count as a real poll, they're the same people who predicted President Romney right up to the very day of the 2012 election.
    1
  5308. Cruz is an utterly shameless liar. His claim that Ayatollah Khamenei and President Rouhani have admitted Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon is the exact opposite of reality. They have made if very clear on ever occasion that Iran does not want a nuclear weapon. Khamenei has repeatedly said that it would be a violation of Islamic law to build a nuclear weapon. And of course he repeatedly tells the off-the-wall lie that the deal was somehow to give Iran a weapon.

    1
  5315. Ozzie Crosby I'm guessing you "know" lots of things that aren't true. There are absolutely no limits to pardons. The President can, if he sees fit to do so, issue a blanket pardon for every possible crime that a given person might have ever committed. In fact, that's exactly what Gerald Ford did for Richard Nixon.

  5316. +neothaka That scenario is meaningless because it's never happened and never will happen.
    1
  5317. Actually, the way the situation in 2008 was completely different is that Clinton lost her pledged delegate lead very early on, and never caught back up.
    1
  5318. Actually, that Fantastic Four example was widely criticized as a blatant case of publicity-stunt casting. Especially since the character's sister is still white in the movie. As for Ghost in the Shell movie, I'm more concerned that the male lead, who's a burly muscular Japanese guy in the anime, is getting played a skinny white guy in the movie.

    1
  5322. ***** Sanders has won 45.5% of the delegates in the states that have already voted. Clinton has won 54.5%. If you go by popular vote, the gap is even larger (56.25% for Clinton, 42.04% for Sanders). The fact that it's still mathematically possible for Sanders to catch up (though highly improbable) does not in any way equate to the race being "almost even".

  5352. sausageman No, moron, that is not the deal. And there never was a demand that Iran have no nuclear program. The demand is that they not have a nuclear weapon program. And no the Saudis are not going to get nukes. They were apparently under the impression that because they helped fund Pakistan's nuclear program that they'd be able to just buy nukes from Pakistan, but then Pakistan told them they could fuck off.
    1
  5353. Really, you think Sanders is the favorite if he wins Minnesota and Colorado? That's a stretch, Cenk. If Sanders wins four states on Super Tuesday and Clinton wins seven I don't see how that will come off as a Sanders win overall.
    1
  5354. +Commodoor64 The only people who believe there actually is an "email debacle" are Republicans. Everyone else knows that Clinton's emails are a non-issue. That is why Sanders wouldn't go along with the debate moderator's attempt to get him to attack Clinton over the emails. He knows it's something that would never resonate with Democratic voters.
    1
  5355. ***** Just because you think it has merit doesn't mean that Democratic primary voters do. Sanders knows that Democrats dismiss the email "controversy" as a Republican smear job.

  5373. Tickle Monster Still living in that bubble, aren't you? There was nothing Romney could've done to win. Republicans are just convinced that since they hate Obama and Clinton, everybody else must hate them too. Oh, and just a reminder. Going into the 2012 election, Trump went after Obama too. Remember his foray into Birtherism? Then Obama utterly humiliated him. The same thing will happen with whatever nonsense he tries to attack Clinton with.

You can't win a nomination without by just winning small states. The only large state win that Sanders has is Michigan, and that's nowhere near enough. New York is a must-win for him, as is Pennsylvania the next week. In fact, Sanders just about has to win all of the remaining states to catch up with Clinton in pledged delegates, and even that might not be enough. You don't seem to understand how far behind he is.

  5409. pete275 He needs to win states that actually matter. Quit being willfully stupid and grasp the basic fact that states aren't all equally important.
    1
  5410. pete275 You need to stop being a complete blithering idiot. And a liar, because Sanders hasn't won 8 states in a row.

  5413. stormweaver82 Thank you for illustrating my point.

  5414. BloodMoneyLLC If Sanders is so principled, why did he lie about supporting the Democratic nominee and doing everything in his power to defeat Trump? And why did he lie about releasing his 2015 tax returns?
    1
  5415. Sandra Snow-Balvert That's just it, Sanders hasn't faithfully represented the Democratic Party for decades. He joined the part last year and tried to get himself put in charge of the whole thing. Imagine if somebody in Canada had been an independent MP for decades, then joined the Liberals last year and demanded to immediately be made Prime Minister. How do you think that would've gone over?

  5416. This has nothing to do with "stand your ground" laws or "castle doctrine". It seems to be more a matter of the guy simply being a murderer, killing her because he's a sociopath.

  5417. Inaccurate clickbait title. Bernie "surged past Hillary" in a single poll in a single state. Also, the idea that people in New Hampshire didn't already know who Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was and what he stood for? Don't be silly.
    1
  5418. He's urging the states to ban gay conversion "therapy" because there's an actual chance that at least some of the states actually will. Urging Congress to ban it nationwide would be a waste of breath, because since when does Congress actually do anything?

  5419. There is absolutely no way in which Trump is better.
    1
  5420. +joshua garner He doesn't have to get 51% of the vote, he has to get 51% of the delegates. Given that only 17 states allocate delegates proportionally in the Republican primaries, Trump would actually have been better off if there were still 10 people running.

  5421. Senario When you claim that's what Sanders supporters will do, you're basically arguing that Sanders supporters are idiots.

  5424. Why is it that so few of these millionaires and billionaires fail to see that they do better with a more regulated and taxed economy? Any short-term gains from paying a little less in taxes are nothing compared to the losses that come from an economic crash, which is the inevitable result of Republican policies.

  5428. Susan Raezer The actual voting to date indicates that his supporters don't outnumber hers. And superdelegates don't have anything to do with the general election. Your post is completely incoherent.
    1
  5429. Duke00x The claim that most Sanders supporters won't vote for Clinton is nonsense, though. The minority who actually won't vote for her in the general election are people who wouldn't vote, period.

    1

    1
  5448. ***** There was nothing left for them to secede from when the Soviet government dissolved itself.
    1
  5449. ***** How many times do I have to tell you that the USSR was not the same thing as Russia? Russia was one of 15 component states of the Soviet Union. And no, 95% of the Ukrainian population do not identify as Russians. The actual amount is 17%.

But Nevada became a state in 1864, and the land in question has been federally owned since 1848. And since it is federal land, by definition it's not a state issue. Nor is the vastness of the land the issue. The issue is that Bundy is breaking the law by refusing to pay grazing fees.

  5478. +reepaz Sanders doesn't actually have any argument for the superdelegates to switch. The best he could have hoped for with making that "give me the nomination even though I lost because polls" argument would be for the superdelegates to laugh in his face. More likely is that they'd say "go fuck yourself" before laughing in his face.
    1
  5479. When Hillary Clinton wins, it will be because the clear majority of actual voters chose for her to win. And your delusions about her name being in the Panama documents are as meaningless as Republicans' Benghazi conspiracy theories.

    1
  5481. rosie her No there absolutely is not any law against using personal emails when dealing with business issues. And what "decision" are you referring to with Benghazi? Are you perhaps one of the Republican morons who thinks that the Secretary of State is in charge of military actions?

  5484. If Republicans actually cared about preventing fraud, that would work. But voter fraud basically doesn't exist, and what Republicans actually want to prevent is black people voting.
    1
  5485. For Sanders to get 55% of all the remaining delegates would be ludicrously optimistic for him. The reality is that he needs a 57% win like Wisconsin to be his floor going forward. But given how the electorate in most of the remaining states will be less favorable to him than Wisconsin, it looks more that 57% is his ceiling.
    1
  5486. Bread Canful Which means literally nothing. Six of those states are caucuses, all of them are small, and most of them have very little minority populations. The exact opposite of the states coming up in the next couple of weeks.
    1
  5487. AndTheCorrectAnswerIs And as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton had the authority to unilaterally declassify anything she saw fit. Also, Napolitano and Pirro are both complete blithering idiots.
    1
  5488. AndTheCorrectAnswerIs Original classification authority, look it up. It's the power to personally classify and declassify documents. The Secretary of State is one of the officials who has it. And Napolitano is an Ayn Rand cultist. He's also a 9/11 Truther. He also thinks that the wrong side won the Civil War and that the Confederacy wasn't about slavery. Regardless of his having been appointed to the NY Superior Court, he's a nutcase. Credentials don't make him sane.

    1

    1
  5519. +Home Theater Junky So you'll go back to not voting like you always did?
    1
  5520. Auceza What? No it doesn't. It looks like Trump will barely get to a majority of delegates (and even that much isn't guaranteed). Most nominees end up having almost all the delegates by the time of the convention.
    1
  5521. Auceza And that's nowhere near being "the most Republican delegates in history of primaries." In 2012, Romney got 1575 out of 2286 delegates. It's mathematically impossible for Trump to match that. In 2008, McCain also had 1575 delegates, that time out of 2173. In 2004, Bush got 2508 out of 2508, but that doesn't really count since he was unopposed. In 2000, Bush got 1496 out of 1762. So in fact, Trump is on pace to have one of the lowest delegate totals of any Republican nominee. And as for the number of people Trump had at his rally, who cares?

    1
  5524. ***** There has never in all of American history been a case of the electorate getting whiter from one presidential election to the next. And Trump will bring out the non-white vote to vote against him, because he is so near-universally despised by blacks, Latinos, Jews, Asians, etc.

  5529. Aaron Claeys First off, even if she was sentenced to prison, she could still legally be the President.

  5538. Tokopol "Barely"? She leads Trump by 13 points in the latest poll. And no, she does not have real legal problems at all. Jeff Barber No, she has the lead because more people have voted for her. And the superdelegates count, whether you liked them or not. She will have the majority of pledged delegates before the convention, and the superdelegates will put her way over the top on the first ballot. In fact, I suspect if most of Sanders' current 41 superdelegates will switch to Clinton once she hits a majority of pledged delegates.

A referendum in which ballots often came pre-marked as votes in favor of joining Russia and in which the "international observers" were all known to be pro-Russian activists.
    1
  5545. GunRecon 11 Such as his constant claim that people have dismissed Sanders wins by saying that the states he won were "weird", which literally no one ever said.

  5564. This is how the 17th Amendment came about. There was huge public pressure to have Senators elected by popular vote rather than appointed by state legislatures. Momentum was building to have the states call a convention, and Congress (out of fear that the resulting convention would propose amendments going beyond just popular election of Senators) preempted that by proposing the amendment themselves.

And you're lying when you say treason can only be if you collaborate with a country we're at war with. We've never been "at war" with any nation since 1945. That doesn't mean that it wasn't treason when Americans provided US secrets to the Soviet Union. Russia is America's enemy, with or without a declaration of war. You're also full of shit about the Ukraine thing. And those "DNC emails" you're so outraged about contained literally nothing. Saying the DNC "hid" the debates means you're literally psychotic. And I don't mean that as a figure of speech. You belong in a mental hospital. And what gave us Trump is that the election was rigged in his favor.

The idea that we need to take such an extreme reactionary step to deal with something that is by no means a national crisis just doesn't make sense. Especially given that murder rates continue to nosedive. You'd get the impression from videos like this that gun violence is increasing, but the opposite is true.

No NATIONAL media attention, certainly, but not reported in the local newspaper of the town where it happened? Absurd. And FYI Cenk, if the number of kids shot in Canada as half as many as in the US? That would mean that a child is actually MORE likely to be shot in Canada, since Canada has roughly 1/10th the US population. You did say raw number shot was twice as high in the US and not the RATE, after all.

Yes, it has. Compared to the degree of global warming that's happened already. But the thing about global warming is that if we don't do anything to mitigate it, it'll keep getting worse until it's no longer possible to mitigate it. One thing to remember is, even the "worst case scenario" of the IPCC projections actually doesn't include the true worst case: the melting of the Arctic permafrost, releasing enough methane to cause more than twice as much warming as the directly human-caused warming via increased CO2 levels.

    1
  5635. Wayne Geddings That post illustrates that you don't even understand how debt works. The treasury pays interest payments for the debt of 20 years ago. Given how low interest rates are right now, when you account for even low levels of inflation over the next 20 years, that means interest payments that will go out then for today's debts would be close to zero. In fact, it could come out to a de facto negative interest rate. So why do people, especially foreign investors (both individual and government) keep buying US government debt? The same reason people buy gold. They figure that even if the value goes down in the future, it'll never be worth zero. They figure that even if the dollars they get paid back in 20 years have gone down in value overall, they'll probably still have gone up in value relative to the Euro and the Chinese yuan. In effect, foreign investors are paying the US government to take their money. That's why there's never been a better time for the US to borrow more.

  5659. Romlach Zav In reality, the Republican Party is in a death spiral. The demographics that Republicans do badly with are growing, while those they do well with are shrinking. Democrats are already going to take back control of the Senate this year, and in 2020 (redistricting year) those state legislatures will be up for reelection during a high-turnout presidential year. Hell, with Trump as the Republican nominee, it's entirely possible that Democratic turnout this year will be high enough to overwhelm the gerrymandering and take back the House now.
    1
  5660. Romlach Zav The thing about the House is that every seat is up for reelection every year. So a big enough landslide things November actually could swing it back to the Democrats. The odds are against that happening, but it's within the realm of possibility. Maybe a 25% chance. And as for a terrorist attack, I don't buy for a second that such a thing would drive voters to Trump. The people who are stupid enough to believe Trump is strong on terrorism are already supporting him.

  5715. 295Phoenix There's more like a 200% difference between Democrats and Republicans. Lunatics who think there's no difference between the parties are a joke. BTW, single-payer is not the only way to achieve universal health care. France is considered to have the best health care system in the world, and it's not single-payer. It includes private health insurance, but mandates that it be non-profit, and splits the cost between individuals and government agencies. In other words, something like what would be accomplished by further expansion of the Affordable Care Act. And the two-party "system" exists solely because there are two parties that between them get the overwhelming majority of votes. There's nothing other than voters' choices that make it that way.
    1
  5716. 295Phoenix Since when does a no-fly zone require ground troops? That's right, it doesn't. Hell, immediately after making that claim you brought up Libya...where a no-fly zone involved absolutely no ground troops. And you are delusional if you think Clinton is opposed to campaign finance reform, when she's been advocating and voting for her entire political career. The wingnuts on SCOTUS simply overturned the campaign finance laws she voted for.

  5717. Rather than skipping the 7.62 NATO development, why not go one step further back and block MacArthur's insistence that the M1 Garand be changed from .276 to .30-06? While there were valid short-term reasons for that decision, in the long run leaving the M1 in .276 would've made for a better rifle. And had the M1 already been firing a 7mm round, obviously the Pentagon wouldn't have been stupidly insisting that NATO couldn't be allowed to standardize on a slightly shorter 7mm.

  5725. S Cramer So for example you don't think the Rosenbergs were traitors for giving our atomic bomb designs to the USSR? Remember, we weren't at war with the USSR. Treason is not defined by whether there's a declaration of war active. The US has never been officially "at war" since 1945, yet we're constantly involved in wars regardless. And Russia has committed acts of war against the United States. Also, Donald Trump is by far the least honest President in US history. Quite possibly the least honest person in US history. And Reagan was by a wide margin the worst US President of the 20th century. Along with also being tremendously dishonest.

  5736. Stepa S. That referendum was a sham, and everyone knows it. Russia had already invaded and occupied Crimea before holding that referendum, a referendum that was BTW prohibited by the Ukrainian constitution, and the referendum was rigged on top of that. And claiming that the uniformed troops in eastern Ukraine are "unidentified" is bullshit. Some of them have even been identified by name as Russian soldiers!
    1
  5737. Stepa S. The fake referendum in Crimea isn't about the opinion of the people. The results were blatantly rigged. And again, you're ignoring the fact that the Ukrainian constitution bans such referendums. And I am so fucking sick of you liars claiming that the Ukrainian government banned the use of anybody's language.

  5739. Sorry guys, but that headline is 100% factually correct. Sanders winning Wisconsin doesn't change anything. He's still way behind and this win does very little to close the gap. Having won a bunch of small states in a row is nowhere near enough to erase Clinton's huge lead. And it's ridiculous that you keep saying that Sanders' blatantly illegitimate "win" in Nevada should be something he gets praised for.
    1
  5740. bandholm The reality is that Sanders needs a big win in New York, because he needs every state to be a big win. He needs 57% of the delegates going forward to erase Clinton's lead.
    1
  5741. MC315 No, the calender really doesn't favor Sanders from here out. We've got New York next week, not favorable to Sanders. The week after that includes Pennsylvania and Maryland, very unfavorable to Sanders. Those are 531 delegates between them. Sanders needs at least 303 of those delegates to be on course to take the lead by the end of the primaries. Based on current polling he's only likely to get about 195 delegates from those states. If that happens and Clinton gets almost twice as many delegates as Sanders from those three states, it'll be flat-out impossible for him to catch up.

BTW, only 6 of those 58 Sanders delegates even showed up at the Nevada convention. Also, Barbara Boxer was not the one holding that voice vote that you're whining about. And 50% of the credentials committee were personally chosen by Bernie Sanders. You're also lying when you claim that no Clinton delegates were excluded for paperwork or registration problems. There were 8 of them excluded. Also, Sanders supporters are not well organized. Enthusiasm is not the same thing as organization.

    1
  5752. Cenk goes on pretending that Sanders isn't losing. And ignores the fact that Clinton has a much bigger lead now that Obama ever had in 2008. But that's nothing compared to that Trump campaign bimbo who nonsensically claims that general election polling doesn't include independents.
    1
  5753. daytripper1023 Obama beat Clinton in pledged delegates by a margin of 102. That's less than half the current gap (228 delegates) between Clinton and Sanders.
    1
  5754. daytripper1023 You can make that claim all you like, but it's not true. At this point in the 2008 election, the delegate gap was smaller. Also, Clinton was behind and didn't catch up. How is any of this suppose to show Sanders will be able to catch up?

    1
  5784. The Republican and Democratic primaries aren't run the same way. Trump getting stomped in Wisconsin narrows his path to a majority of delegates. Trump needs to get something like 55% of all delegates going forward to win, so every state he does poorly in increases the odds of a brokered convention. Sanders on the other hand needs to get about 57% of delegates going forward to overtake Clinton in pledged delegates. That was the case before Wisconsin and it's still the case after. And unlike in the Republican primaries, there are no winner-take-all states. Everything is proportional, so there's no way to close the 200+ delegate gap with a single big win. Sanders basically has to win everything from here on out, and he has to do it with blowout wins. Basically he needs every state to be a double-digit win.

Any state that insists on sticking with caucuses should just be told that they no longer get any say in the Democratic Party nomination process.

But then the protesters armed themselves in response, and the Ukrainian Army refused to massacre them, so the old Ukrainian government looted the national treasury for their own use and fled to Russia. There was never any bill to "ban Russian". And given that Russia invaded and conquered a Ukrainian province already, that debt owed to Russia has been invalidated.

By the time we get to the Democratic convention, it'll be too late for him to get on the ballot. Virginia R  That's just it. If Clinton and Sanders were both on the ballot, it doesn't matter that Trump would have no way of winning a majority. The problem is that nobody would win a majority, and that would result in the House of Representatives getting to choose the President. The gerrymandered, Republican-dominated House of Representatives. It's highly unlikely that they would choose Trump in that scenario, but they'd choose some other right-wing asshole like Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio.

Things like armored cars and half-tracks. I would presume that's what Canada was actually thinking of when testing this thing.

  5843. "Only"? 225 delegates is a massive gap. Given the proportional nature of Democratic primaries, Sanders needs close to 60% of the remaining 1400 delegates to close that gap. And frankly I see it as rather corrupt to go back and "contest" states after the primaries were already held in an attempt to overturn the will of the voters.

  5844. Geometry Dash AJ213 Really, "once"? This is the 21st time Sanders has lost, and it's the most important loss to date since NY is such a big state. Various Curious Why exactly should I care about some conspiracy kook blogger making fact-free claims that Sanders actually won all the states that he lost? Bibibibibib Blubb Sorry, but yes it is a big gap. And cheating to overturn the will of the voters is not a legitimate way to gain delegates.

  5859. ***** Let me get this straight. You're trying to argue that it's "looney" to fund the UN Human Right Commission when the US isn't on the commission? You do get that the HRC has no permanent members, right? And your claim that he wants to open diplomatic relations with ISIS and encourage everybody to not fight them is simply a lie. Sanders' position is that the Arab states surrounding ISIS should be the ones doing the fighting, rather than the US getting involved in yet another Middle East quagmire instead of focusing on our own problems at home.

These polls show that Sanders is losing badly in California: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ca/california_democratic_presidential_primary-5321.html Just because you want him to win California doesn't mean it's going to happen. And your comparisons to 2008 regarding the superdelegates are nonsense. In 2008, Obama took the lead in pledged delegates on February 9. That's nothing even remotely similar to this election, where Sanders is desperately hoping for a comeback in June when the final states vote. BTW, California has 475 delegates. Not "over 500".

    1
  5963. Candide Thirtythree That's among independent voters who chose to vote in the Democratic primary. Independents were not banned from voting. And there is nothing corrupt on unethical about closed primaries. Also, your "point" that Sanders would've won all those states if independents were the only ones voting is completely meaningless. This was the Democratic primary, not the independent primary.

  5965. Anon ymous In most states, you don't have to be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. And for the states where that was a requirement, it's not difficult to register as a Democrat. Many independents did exactly that in order to vote for Sanders.
    1
  5966. Candide Thirtythree No, you are a liar. 19 states and DC held closed primaries or caucuses this year. Every other state plus Puerto Rico allowed independents to vote, without any need to change their registration. Also, claiming that it's "very hard" to switch parties is ludicrous. It's an extremely easy process, and there is no state in which there is "as much as a year wait to be able to vote." Nor does any state charge money for changing your party registration.

Bush didn't lose because of Perot, he lost because on election day he had a 33% approval rating. When 2/3 of the country think you're doing a bad job, it's hard to get reelected.

  6126. This is why it was a mistake for Democrats to agree to that budget deal. Not only was it a bad budget that basically gave Republicans what they wanted and got nothing in return, it also prevented any government shutdowns from happening this year. As is obvious from the fact that Republicans are going for the debt ceiling shenanigans again, they WOULD have shut down the government again too if given the opportunity. And even though a government shutdown is far less damaging than a debt default would be, a shutdown is also much easier for low-information voters to understand. Having another government shutdown, this time during an election year, might well have been enough for Democrats to take back the House, even WITH all the massive gerrymandering in Republicans' favor. Republicans causing a debt default would probably do that as well, but it would also result in an economic catastrophe. And in the end, Republicans will back down if their bluff is called. They got NOTHING out of their previous attempt at debt ceiling brinksmanship, after all.

  6132. So will TYT address the fact that Sanders is losing the Washington primary tonight? No, it doesn't have any impact on delegates, since Washington decided that in the caucus that Sanders won two months ago. But since all the down-ticket races (Congress, state officials, etc) require a primary, that was held today, and as a matter of state law the presidential candidates also have to appear on the primary ballot. And despite winning the caucus in a landslide (73% to 27%), Sanders is losing the primary (currently 54% to 46%, with 74% reporting). This is the second time that Sanders has won a state's caucus but then lost the non-binding but much higher turnout primary. This shows that higher turnout seems not to favor Sanders, and also undermines the idea that Sanders always does better when voters have more time to get to know him.

  6134. TC Sam You remember wrong, then. The actual data shows that Perot pulled just as many voters away from Clinton as he did from Bush. Had Perot not been the in race, the main difference in the outcome would've been Clinton winning an absolute majority of the popular vote. Republicans have been pushing the mythology Perot was the cause of Clinton's victory ever since, but the facts show otherwise.
    1
  6135. Stu Bee Perot took exactly the same amount of voters away from both Bush and Clinton. 38% of his supporters said they would've voted for Bush if Perot hadn't been a candidate, 38% said they would've voted for Clinton, and 24% said they would've voted for neither.
    1
  6136. Stu Bee Are you fucking stupid? How could Perot taking votes away from Bush have cost Bush the election, when he took just as many votes away from Clinton? If Perot hadn't been a candidate, Clinton would've won about 53% of the vote. This is called math, do you understand it?
    1
  6137. Stu Bee You just don't get it. Perot was not a Republican, and he divided both parties' bases.
    1
  6138. Stu Bee It doesn't matter that he pulled Republican votes that would've went to Bush. He pulled an equal number of Democratic votes that would've gone to Clinton. If Perot had not run, Clinton would've had about 52.4 million votes and Bush would've had about 46.6 million. (As opposed to 44.9 million for Clinton, 39.1 million for Bush, and 19.7 million for Perot in the actual election). 52.4 million is more than 46.6 million. You are a complete blithering idiot if you don't understand this. And you're the one who brought up Perot, so you don't get to say it's out of bounds that I called you out on being totally wrong about how the 1992 election actually played out.
    1
  6139. Stu Bee You can't grasp that 52.4 million is a larger number than 46.6 million (and those are what the actual vote totals would've been with no Perot candidacy), yet you think I'm the one who failed arithmetic?
    1
  6140. Stu Bee Reality is that Perot had nothing to do with Bush's loss in 1992. Your stubborn rejection of facts won't change that. And apparently you can't grasp that the "flying pink elephants and green skies and unicorns and Leprechauns and 1+2=4" scenario is your bizarre one in which Bush could've gotten back the votes he lost to Perot but Clinton couldn't.
    1
  6141. Stu Bee My God, your stupidity is beyond words. Claiming that Perot caused Bush to lose is in open defiance of basic arithmetic.

  6142. Stu Bee There were also only so many liberal votes to go around. Why is that so hard to get through your thick skull?
    1
  6143. Stu Bee No, as I've already repeatedly told you, a significant number of the liberal votes went to Perot. You're just stubbornly insisting on the bizarro-world claim that all of Perot's voters would've otherwise supported Bush, facts be damned.
    1
  6144. Stu Bee If any? The number of liberal votes that went to Perot is exactly the same as the number of conservative votes that went to Perot.  Why can that not be pounded through your thick skull? There is no possibility that Bush could have won in 1992, regardless of whether Perot was a candidate.
    1
  6145. Stu Bee Yes, you keep saying that, and it's still a completely idiotic thing to say. Perot did not get a bigger percent of the Republican vote than 6%.

  6151. A86 What reason is there to think those are going to be "blowout victories"? West Virginia probably will be, but Kentucky and Oregon haven't even been polled. And Sanders hasn't done very well in the South so far. Kenneth Taylor That's the thing. It's unlikely that Sanders will win New Jersey and California at all, let alone "in dominant fashion". New Jersey in particular gives no reason to think it'll be any different than New York and Pennsylvania.
    1
  6152. Sarah Inselman Idaho and Washington were caucuses, though, and Sanders has tended to dominate caucus states, because enthusiasm is critical to winning a caucus. You can't just walk in, vote, walk out; instead you have to spend hours with the other caucus-goers. Oregon is a primary. Whether that'll make any difference, who knows. I don't understand why not even a single pollster has polled Oregon yet, though.

  6184. I guess single-action revolvers were probably declining in popularity by that point, since double-action revolvers with swing-open cylinders were commonplace in 1928. And when the SAA went back into production post-WW2, most buyers wanted the same gun they saw the heroes in Westerns using, rather than an improved version.
    1
  6185. So he'd like to have a running mate who would reject the VP offer? Also, no that wouldn't won Massachusetts for Sanders. Having her reject the offer (which she absolutely would have done because she clearly doesn't want the job) would have been effectively an anti-endorsement, or even seen as an endorsement of Clinton.
    1
  6186. So who exactly is going to give away a gun for free, unless it's a gun they used in a crime that they want to not be caught with? And if somebody has a gun in their house that they just don't want anymore, why wouldn't they sell it?

  6239. zaverdeez Are you really that stupid? Yes, Trump has been known as all of those things long before he ran for President. All the way back in 1973, Trump got into legal trouble with the Department of Justice for racist practices in renting out apartments on his properties. Specifically, applications by black people were always to be stamped "C" for "colored" and automatically rejected. And he's been infamous as a womanizer for as long as he's been in the public eye.

  6246. JoeCanuck74 Removing Russian as an official language of Ukraine does not "attack" anyone's "language rights", it just places Russian in the same status as Crimean Tatar and every other minority language.

Funny how that "Crimean militia" are all wearing Russian uniforms and came in on trucks with Russian military license plates.

  6247. Geltance Yes, it is. 24% of Ukrainians speak Russian. That's a minority.

    1
  6252. goff0103 What "Bernie supporting districts" would those be? Your insistence that Sanders was cheated simply because he didn't win is nonsense. But then, I wouldn't expect anyone willing to support Trump to ever make sense.
    1
  6253. goff0103 So you're saying that Brooklyn, a Hillary Clinton stronghold that she won by a larger margin than the state as a whole, was a "Bernie supporting district"? And all this crap about people claiming their registrations got "switched" never seems to have any actual evidence to support it. Besides, in this conspiracy theory, how were the nefarious election officials supposed to magically know which registrations to switch? How would they know who was a Sanders supporter and who was a Clinton supporter?
    1
  6254. goff0103 Really, you're claiming that Brooklyn "didn't get to vote"? That's odd given that 300,000 people actually did vote there. And assuming that it's a "Bernie supporting district" just because he lived there 50 years ago is silly. Sorry, but Sanders lost New York. Just because you wanted him to win doesn't mean it was "cheating" for him to lose.
    1
  6255. scythelord You're both ignorant and a moron if you deny that Trump is bigoted. Try looking into his actual history. Like how he repeatedly violated the Fair Housing Act by establishing a "whites only" policy in his rental properties. Official policy, handed down personally by Trump, is that any black applicants were to be told there were no vacancies in his apartment buildings even there actually were. And any black person who filled out an application anyway was to have it marked "C" (for "colored") to make sure the application would never be mistakenly approved.
    1
  6256. Vermouth Brilliantine Trump has never written a book, you pathetic idiot. And he says and does racist things all the damned time. For example, Trump has said that black people are inherently lazy. He's said "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

The Bush administration damn well knew it wasn't true, but they desperately wanted a confession that effect from a captured terrorist, so they could parade the confession around the media.

  6380. Robin McWilliams How naive can you be? Trump doesn't need Bolton to "talk him into war." He hand-picked Bolton has his National Security Advisor. He did that because he agrees with Bolton. Trump is absolutely a warmonger. Trump has already killed significantly more people via drone strikes than Obama did in all 8 years of his presidency. Also, you seem to know nothing at all about the Iran nuclear deal. Unlike the phony "deal" that Trump made with Kim in North Korea, the Iran deal actually included rigorous inspections to verify Iran's compliance. That's how it was known that Iran was complying with the deal.

  6420. And F3's firepower wouldn't really have even been any worse than the Nelsons', due to the very questionable design of Britain's 16" shells (which were much lighter than any other nation's shells of the same caliber). Since F3 would use the same shells out of her 15"/50s as the pre-treaty British BBs fired from their 15"/42s, that's a 1,938 lb APC shell with 48.5 lb bursting charge. While the British 16"/45 fired a 2,048 lb AP shell with a 51.2 lb bursting charge. That's much smaller than the difference between a 15" and 16" shell should be. And the 15"/42 guns were consistently more accurate than the Nelsons' 16"/45. If the 15"/50 were able to match the accuracy of the 15"/42 while giving the shells higher velocity, I'd take that over the 16"/45 any day. The tiny increase in lethality of the lightweight 16" shell wouldn't really matter if you're scoring hits more often with the 15" shell. And F3 with that 5.5 knots better speed than the Nelsons would still have excellent armor, so you're not losing very much to get that speed.

We are not nearing a glaciation period (as shown by glaciers melting around the world). And the "ancient averages" you refer to when Earth was significantly hotter than it is now? Those were from periods in which humans would not have been able to survive. It's been millions of years since Earth was that hot.

  6544. Ross Perot was a non-factor in 1992. Exit polling clearly indicated that he took at least as many votes away from Clinton as he did from Bush. Also, likely voter polls often aren't any more accurate than registered voter polls, because their models of what makes a voter "likely" is basically voodoo. Such models often predict an older and subsantially whiter electorate than what actually happens on election day. Hence, for example, Rasmussen being complete trash even though they always (at least claim to) poll "likely voters", whereas most polls only start doing so very close to an election.

Had the dominions been allowed to keep their fleets outside of the UK's tonnage limits under the the Washington Treaty, I can see Japan demanding the right to create "Dominions" of Okinawa and Formosa with their own nominally separate navies, and being allowed to transfer Hiei to Formosa instead of disarming her as a training ship. At which point the UK might decide that if the Dominions get their own capital ship tonnage limits, they would need to have more useful ships than a single Indefatigable-class battlecruiser between them. So if Japan gets to hand over Hiei to the "Formosan Navy", Britain can give HMS Tiger to the Royal Australian Navy as a replacement for HMAS Australia, and HMS Lion or one of the Iron Dukes to the Royal Canadian Navy.

  6555. Was any consideration ever given to installing actual armor and proper fire control equipment on an armed merchant raider? Obviously there's no reasonable way to make a merchant raider the equal of a proper light cruiser while still having lines that can be easily disguised as an enemy or neutral merchantman. But the fact that armed merchant raiders were so vulnerable to even the light weapons that many merchant ships would carry in wartime makes it seem like something that a navy whose doctrine had a heavy emphasis on raiding (like the Reichsmarine/Kriegsmarine) would've given some thought to.

  6556.  @Jervisdude  That's the thing. For all practical purposes, the United States might as well have infinite money. Just look at how there's never any trouble finding money to pay for the defense budget, which usually includes more money than the military even asked for. Just look at how trillions can always be found to bail out the largest corporations. Having fully independent review of police departments, and a special prosecutor's office that only handles police abuse cases (so as to eliminate the conflict of interest of having a DA who works with police every day deciding whether a cop will be prosecuted)? That simply wouldn't be very expensive at all.

  6557. Entirely too few battleships got preserved in general. Only one pre-dreadnought and only one dreadnought worldwide, and no battlecruisers.

Whether Bernie would've done better than Hillary in the Wisconsin general election remains unknown. Winning a primary doesn't tell us anything about how a candidate will do in the same state's general election. Remember, Hillary beat Bernie in the Pennsylvania primary with 55.6% of the vote to Bernie's 43.5%. She still lost the PA general election to Trump. (Though I still strongly suspect that fraud with the voting machines played a role in Trump's victory, and voter suppression certainly did.)

Trump's costant crimes are the most serious ones ever committed by a President. All of this makes Watergate look like jaywalking by comparison. So quite trying to gaslight peole into thinking this is a minor issue. And as for "firing up" Trump's base, they were already "fired up" by his racism. They can't get any more fired up. What impeachment does is also fire up the Democrats' base. Oh, and FYI. If the event that the Senate would actually remove Trump from office, he almost certainly would be barred from running again in 2020. The Senate has the power to do that to anybody who's impeached, and that part only requires a simple majority rather than a 2/3 vote.

Russia's military has already proved that they are pathetically weak. NATO would utterly crush them in a matter of not even days but just hours. Russia is losing against just Ukraine. It's Russia, not Ukraine, that's having mass desertions. Russia's "mobilization" that he hypes up is nothing more than cannon fodder. Poorly-trained or outright untrained and poorly equipped troops.

Britain, on the other hand, might well think that their 15"/42 is still just fine and not see any need to make what to them is just an incremental upgrade to a 16".

  6604. The actual biggest issue for that "ethnic bioweapon" concept that RFKook Jr is talking about probably isn't actually the genetic diversity within ethnic groups. It's the relative lack of genetic diversity within humans as a whole.

Because on a genetic level, there is just very little difference at all between humans of different "races".

The people advocating for this system deceptively call that a 23% tax because those 30 cents in tax are 23% of the total $1.30 that you're paying.

  6626. @UNSCForwardontodawn Given Tiger and Blake each had only 2 6-inch guns, I would expect them to fare poorly against Belgrano's 15 6-inchers. The Tiger-class with their autoloading guns could achieve a significantly faster reload than was possible on Belgrano's manually-loaded guns, but not enough to make up for such a large disparity in barrel count. Now if they were in their original configuration, I'd give Tiger and Blake together pretty good odds. 8x QF 6-inch Mk N5 is is a good match in firepower to 15x American 6-inch Mark 16, and Tiger and Blake would have better fire control and better crews. But cutting their firepower in half with the conversion to helicopter cruisers changed everything.

And as for where Ukraine was in 1786? It was only of the many colonies that Russia had seized by conquest. With the Russia despots trying to erase its identity by calling it "Little Russia" (Malorossiya). Russia, of course, still refuses to decolonize, and is trying to seize back all of its colonies that managed to escape.

  6649.  Lawless Rebelblood  Autism is not a disease at all. It absolutely is a natural, inherited genetic condition. And autism has been around for much longer than 200 years. It's only the terminology of autism that's recent, not the medical condition. There are well documented cases that show all the signs of autism in the early 1700s, well before the existence of vaccines and GMOs. And it's highly likely that many of the cases that superstitious people interpreted as "demonic possession" throughout history were actually autism.

And if the M1 had been adopted instead of the 40mm Bofors, that makes the M4 instead of the Oerlikon even less likely, because the same ship having to stock two different sizes of 37mm ammo and make sure they never get mixed up and sent to the wrong gun batteries is a logistical disaster waiting to happen.

  6658.  @Frankie5Angels150  The men who wrote the Constitution definitely did make some bad choices. It wasn't obvious at the time that it was a bad idea, but when the 17th Amendment was written in 1912 there was over 120 years of proof that appointed rather than elected Senators were a terrible idea. If you think corruption is bad now, you should see what the Senate was like in the 19th century. The reason Congress passed the 19th Amendment was that the American people had gotten fed up with their appointed Senators, and were on the verge of calling an Article 5 convention to enact something like the 17th Amendment themselves. The existing Senators feared that such a convention might go further than just making Senators elected, like reducing the power of the Senate. And frankly, it's too bad that didn't happen. The Senate is too powerful.

  6719. Mark 11 and 12 were used on surface ships. The Mark 13 was the air-dropped torpedo used in WW2. The Mark 15 was the surface ship version of the Mark 14. Since they were generally bigger than submarines and mounted their torpedo tubes externally on the deck, destroyers could carry somewhat larger torpedoes. The Mark 15 had the same 21 inch diameter, but was 3.5 feet longer and 800 pounds heavier than the Mark 14. While the Mark 14's range and speed settings were 4,500 yards at 46 knots and 9,000 yards at 31 knots, the Mark 15 had settings of 6,000 yards at 45 knots, 10,000 yards at 33.5 knots, and 15,000 yards at 26.5 knots. And yes, the Mark 15 had all of the same problems as the Mark 14. But destroyer crews were much slower to realize the problems, because surface engagements tended to be a lot more chaotic, and ambushing Japanese ships was less common than it was for the submarines. There was rarely any chance to observe the paths of each individual torpedo fired. Plus the longer range of destroyer torpedoes meant that it was harder to see whether a torpedo was a dud or if it simply missed. A large majority of torpedoes fired by surface ships missed, whereas submarines (since they were firing from ambush positions underwater) had much higher hit rates. This was true for every navy, not just the US Navy. So it was a matter of once the problems were solved in the Mark 14, the same fixes could then be applied to the Mark 15 since it used the same detonators.

  6760. As for expanding the Supreme court and adding more states? You're thinking too small. SCOTUS should be expanded to 13 seats, not just 11. The number being set at 9 came from the Courts of Appeals having 9 circuits, with each Supreme Court justice corresponding to one of the circuits. There's now 13 circuits, so 13 justices would make perfect sense. Appointments should also no longer be for life. There should be a fixed 18-year term for each justice. For states, why stop at DC and Puerto Rico? Go ahead and give Guam and the Virgin Islands statehood as well. And fix the other flaw in Congress that keeps it from being property representative: increase the size of the House. It's been 435 seats since 1912. The US population has more than tripled since then. If the House size were increased to account for population growth, the vastly larger number of seats would make it vastly more difficult to gerrymander. Every House district could be of roughly equal population (they currently aren't, on account of small states that only have one Representative, and states that barely have enough population to get a 2nd or 3rd seat). A much larger House would also mean there'd no longer even be a need to abolish the electoral college. It would become near-impossible for the popular vote winner to lose the electoral college. And best of all, this doesn't require an amendment. It would simply be an act of Congress.

    1
  6776.  @PoliticallyHomeless1  They could tell form the absolutely massive percentage of ballots being write-ins that Biden was going to win. And that prediction was clearly correct. Currently with 94% of precincts reporting, Biden is at 55%, with another 11% being unprocessed write-ins. 6.3% of the vote is listed as "other" (ie neither Biden nor any of the 21 candidates whose names were on the ballot), which would be the people who wrote in "Ceasefire", "Palestinian State", or other such messages. That last 11% of the vote that's unprocessed write-ins will be split between protest messages and Biden votes. We don't yet know in what proportions. But Biden's percentage will go up at least a few points after all the write-ins are processed. It's not some conspiracy, sometimes an election is simply a blowout, and this makes it possible for media outlets to call a winner as soon as the polls close. Sometimes it's even a big enough blowout that it would be possible to project the winner before the polls close, and that used to sometimes happen. But since media outlets who did that got blasted for voter suppression (calling the race while people are still voting will encourage them to just leave the line and go home), no significant media outlets ever do that anymore.

  6815. In addition to putting his best troops on the left flank to go directly against Sparta's best, Epaminondas also heavy backed them up by stacking his left flank numerically. He knew the Spartan left flank was made up of troops conscripted form the cities that Sparta had conquered, and thus didn't even want to fight for Sparta. He correctly predicted that those conscript troops wouldn't attack unless it was already clear Sparta was winning. So he thinned out the Theban phalanx on that side, while making his left flank 50 ranks deep. By comparison, a typical phalanx (as the Spartans were using) was 8 ranks deep. So when the best troops of both sides collided, the Spartans were locally outnumbered by more than 6 to 1.

It's estimated that the Betelguese supernova will be seen on Earth (if any humans are left to see it) sometime in the next 100,000 years. So it's rather unlikely to happen in our lifetimes, but it's possible. Especially if Betelguese's mass turns out to be on the upper end of the estimates (since the bigger star is, the shorter its life will tend to be).

If a stand isn't made here and now, federal workers' paychecks will be cut off every time Republicans have some new law they want to force Democrats to pass. As such, it's essential that Democrats give Trump nothing. That way Republicans can be shown that they can't extract any benefit from ruining the lives of federal workers.

  6936. Gloire ("glory") and Warrior are both excellent names for warships, so I'm not sure what you're talking about on that point. But the fact is, "ironclad" is a single word that perfectly encapsulates what made the new type of ships revolutionary. As such, it was inevitable that this is what such ships would be called. I suspect that if Dreadnought hadn't been the first of her kind, we would've just ended up calling them "super-battleships" or something along those lines. Also, had Britain held off, the USS Michigan would've been the first, since she was completed 2 months ahead of South Carolina. (And one day ahead of Minas Geraes, but would that ship even have existed had HMS Dreadnought not already entered service to such great fanfare? Nassau would've also come later than in reality, because she was only even designed in response to the launch of Dreadnought.)

But when he decided that he needed to get his aft turrets to bear, either he or his helmsman made the mistake of swinging out too far to port, giving Bismarck a much flatter shot into the belt armor. (And yes, the idea that it was the deck that was penetrated is a myth. Hood and Bismarck were much too close together for plunging fire to be possible.)

  6987. A major reason that Republicans are so widely perceived as better on the economy is that Republican candidates are almost always rich. And stupid people are inclined to assume that being rich makes a person an expert on the economy. Another reason is that the big corporations usually favor Republicans. Most people are unaware of how corporate strategies are almost always very short-sighted, prioritizing immediate short-term profits over long-term profits. Even when this means that in the long run the corporation will make less money overall. Hence corporations wanting Republicans in power so they can get tax cuts and deregulation, despite the fact that a strong economy is more important to their own profits and having Republicans in power makes a strong economy less likely.

  6994. Medea Benjamin opens up by mentioning "how close Ukraine and Russia have been for centuries" but ignores that this connection was completely against the will of the Ukrainian people. Russia has been Ukraine's oppressor for centuries. That is the connection between Russia and Ukraine. Chris Hedges claims that "promises were made not to expand NATO beyond the border of a unified Germany" and insists that "This is a historical fact." In reality it's a historical lie. Gorbachev himself publicly admitted that he was never given any such promise. Medea then claims that NATO was transformed form a defensive to offensive alliance, by falsely claiming there was an invasion of Libya and ignoring the fact that NATO involvement in Afghanistan was because Afghanistan attacked a NATO member. As for negotiating with Putin, the fact that the US has negotiated with him in the past is precisely how we know that it doesn't work. Putin always violates the terms of any deals he agrees to. When you open the discussion with blatant lies like this, is there really even a point in listening to the rest of what you've got to say?

This might come as a shock to you, but most murders, and most crimes in general, occur with the perp and the victim living in the same community. Which in turn means they're usually the same race. But since you're an obvious racist, you can't see any of that. BTW, is it that hard to grasp that "WATCH the neighborhood" doesn't include physically confronting anybody you might find suspicious?

  7059. With regard to if the US Navy somehow had future knowledge of the Washington Naval Treaty and wanted to game things so they'd have battlecruisers fast enough escort the carriers...there was a variant Lexington design at 35,300 tons (ie just barely above what would be the treaty limit) that still had all four 16" twin turrets and a speed of 30 knots. The problem with this lighter design was that it had only 5" belt armor (and not angled like the final design's 7" belt). The Lexingtons would've already been deathtraps if they ever found themselves taking fire from capital ships, but this version would've been very vulnerable even to the 8" guns of Japanese cruisers.

Under this bill such sales would require them to meet at a dealer and have him do a background check.

  7194. If Hood's sister ships hadn't already been scrapped and instead had been available for CV conversion under the WNT, what would those conversions have likely looked like?

    1
  7195.  @toddwebb7521  Britain got to hold onto both Tiger and all of the Iron Dukes during the Washington Naval Treaty era. It was under the London Naval Treaty that all 5 of those ships had to be disposed of. Had they sacrificed Hood in order to get a 3rd Nelson, it's possible that Britain would've chosen to keep Tiger and instead scrap HMS Revenge in 1931, since with the big scare over the Deustchland-class cruisers it probably would've been seen as necessary to have 1 battlecruiser for each of Germany's panzerschiff. Though this would produce the logistical issue of keeping the 13.5-inch gun in service for only a single ship, so who knows. Another possibility is that if Britain agreed to dispose of Hood in order to get 3 new post-Treaty ships instead of 2, they might have opted to build at least 1 of the F3 battlecruiser (35k tons, 3x3 15-inch/50 guns in a similar layout to the O3 design that would become Nelson, 12 to 13 inches of belt armor and 3.5 to 7 inches of deck armor, top speed of 29 knots), since that would result in a design with capability similar or better than Hood on a smaller hull. IMO their best choice would actually be to build 3 of the F3 battlecruisers. They'd be an overall much more useful design than the Nelsons because of their speed, and the firepower would be nearly equivalent given that it would use the same shells as the existing 15-inch/42 guns on the Queen Elizabeth, Revenge, and Renown classes (also thus simplifying logistics) and not the flawed design of the BL 16-inch Mk I which had shells too light to take proper advantage of the larger caliber.
    1
  7196.  @stevevalley7835  The J3 is simply a straight upgrade to Hood, and would indeed have been a very useful ship. Unfortunately, there's no plausible scenario in which it could've been built, given its treaty-busting size. And the fact that in a "no treaties" timeline, the Royal Navy simply would've built 4 G3s instead. Which isn't exactly a problem for them, since G3 would've been a monster.

The basic Crusader in later models gained a pair of underwing hardpoints for a 2,000lb bomb or a Bullpup AGM. The Crusader III had larger wings (4'3" longer wingspan and 20% more wing area), and as such I imagine it would've been easy enough to add at least 4 underwing hardpoints for the Crusader III.

Did you perhaps fail to notice that Canada is a foreign nation? Also, the oil would be brought to Texas for refining, but that doesn't mean Americans would get the gasoline. It would be loaded onto tankers and shipped abroad for sale on the world market.

  7217.  @YumLemmingKebabs  What planet do you live on, to say that Biden was behind Buttigieg and Klobuchar? You're the one trying to revise history. When they dropped out, Buttigieg had 26 delegates and Klobuchar had 7. Biden had 54 delegates. Bernie had a narrow lead with 60 delegates. Or if you're talking about the polls rather than the delegates, you're even more overtly wrong. The lowest that Biden ever dropped in the polls was 16.5%. At that same time, Buttigieg was at 10.8% and Klobuchar was 6.8%. That was the highest either of them ever got in the national polling averages. At the time Buttigieg and Klobuchar dropped out, Biden's national polling average was 27.5% (barely reclaiming the lead from Bernie, who was 26% at the time), Buttigieg was 8.5%, and Klobuchar was 3.5%. That's the real history. Not your bizarro-world fantasy scenario where Buttigieg and Klobuchar were beating Biden before they dropped out.

  7239.  @karthiks209  Trump just committed the worst crime any President could ever commit. He staged an insurrection in an attempt to stay in office beyond his term. Also, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment already should be enough to prohibit Trump from running again in 2024. "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. " Trump as President swore an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, and on January 6 he "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same". Thus, unless there's a 2/3 vote of both the House and Senate to restore his right to do so, he should already be disqualified from holding any government office.
    1
  7240.  @karthiks209  There's no requirement that he be convicted in a court of law. That provision was originally enacted for the former government officials who fought for the Confederacy, and no trials were held of Confederate leaders.

  7303. Of the 5 on the list, the YF-23 still has a chance for a comeback. There's a strong chance that the Mitsubishi F-3 will be based on it. Arguably the F-16XL and F-20 could still be relevant if revived today with the latest avionics and weapons, but the chances of that happening are low. Lockheed Martin probably doesn't see any need for something intermediate between the F-16 Block 70 and the heavily government-backed F-35 for their export sales. And an updated F-20 seems like it would fall into the same niche as the JAS 39E Gripen NG, which is largely already being bought by those nations who'd be interested in a small jet fighter with higher fuel efficiency and lower operating costs. As opposed to in the 1980s, when the Tigershark would've been uncontested in that market.

  7357. It's funny, if the M1917 had the same fine-adjustment rear sight as this sniper model of the Pattern 14, it might well have replaced the M1903 as the standard-issue rifle. The fact that it lacked such fine adjustments was something that the brass thought was important, since they seemed to not grasp that war is not the same as shooting competitions. We probably also would've ended up with 6-round stripper clips being made had that been the case, since there's room for a 6th round in the 1917's mag.

  7364. Given that Texas has previously executed a man for a crime that not only did he clearly not commit, but a crime that HADN'T ACTUALLY HAPPENED, this isn't terribly surprising. Rick Perry should be on trial for murder himself. He has displayed depraved indifference for the fact that he's having innocent men killed. That he didn't do the killing with his own hand is irrelevant; he's like the guy who hires a hitman.

  7368. Nevada would've been my first choice to preserve out of the Standards. Though probably the most plausible to preserve would've been California or Maryland. It would've probably been harder convincing a state to host a battleship named for another state, and most of the Standards were named for inland states. I'm discounting Mississippi because her conversion to a missile test platform had left her without any main guns and fairly ridiculous-looking, leaving her with little appeal as a museum ship.

One thing that still seems to be getting lost is that the attack by insurgents in Libya (who apparently had heavy artillery, both outnumbering and outgunning the Marines and Libyan military guarding the consulate) is a separate event from the mob of protesters in Egypt. The (probably al-Qaeda) militants in Libya staged a military-style assault with the express purpose of killing Americans. The mob in Egypt climbed over the wall and burned a flag.

  7396. There's a third option beyond negotiating a "deal" that allows Putin to keep his stolen territory or keeping this conflict going for a decade. That option is simply defeating Russia. I don't mean Ukraine completely driving Russia out of Ukraine. I mean NATO actively entering the war and driving Russia back to their own borders. The Yugoslav Civil War is not the proper analogy to Russia's current actions. The proper analogy is to Germany's invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland. Putin isn't going to see any agreement that lets him keep part of Ukrainian territory as the end of the war. He's going to see such a victory as a sign of continued Western weakness. He'll see that as an incentive to invade again and seize even more territory, and demand further concessions to end the next war. It would be another Munich Agreement.

Ron Paul supports going back to the gold standard (a stupid, archaic idea), thinks Social Security is unconstitutional, wants to massively cut taxes and reduce government size to the point that it would no longer be functional, and opposes the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.

This might be cheating since the specific model wasn't even put into production, but since it's a variant of an aircraft that was in production as of 1945 I'll suggest it anyway. The Gloster Meteor F.1, but with Rolls-Royce Trent turbofan engines. It's in keeping with Elbonian weirdness, and it shouldn't be hard to sell the air minister on the idea that this would give the best of both worlds between props and jets. When it would instead be more likely to give the worst of both worlds.

Giving disproportionate voting power to the 15% who do not, is the definition of tyranny of the minority.

That pretty well indicates that Sweden's "no lockdowns" strategy was the wrong one. Also, yes of course China is lying about their numbers. So are multiple US states, like Texas and Florida. Not much we can do about that. We can only use the data we actually have.

  7545. With regard to those Leopard-class battlecruisers, if those had been built and Hood also got built, would the Royal Navy have even been allowed to build the Nelsons? Allowing the Nelsons as an exception to the 10 year "holiday" of the Washington Naval Treaty was because Britain lacked any 16-inch gun BBs while the US Navy was getting 3 and the IJN 2 of them. But if Britain had 20 or so 15-inch gun BBs or BCs instead of 13 of them, would the US and Japan really be inclined to grant the UK a pair of 16-inch gun BBs to be built after the treaty? I imagine that they would've at least demanded to get to complete an additional 1-2 battleships or battlecruisers beyond the ones they were allowed historically. Or, since the likes of Tosa, Amagi, and South Dakota would be so far in excess of Treaty limits, perhaps the US and Japan would've demanded to each get their own 1-2 ship exemption from the building holiday. And seeing what a mid-1920s Treaty-compliant BB design from the US and Japan would look like would've been rather interesting.
    1
  7546.  @johnfisher9692  The problem is that would've resulted in another 1-2 years of work. France was presuming that obsolete battleships would still be better than no battleships at all. In practice, this was a poor decision, as the Courbet-class dreadnoughts couldn't be laid down until after the Danton-class were launched, resulting in an even greater delay. France also foolishly refused the suggestion to alter the Dantons during construction by replacing the twin 240m guns with single 305m turrets. This would've resulted in a subpar dreadnought, but still a dreadnought. There was an insistence that the Dantons must displace no more than 18,000 tons, and this would've put them over that limit. In practice, they weighed in at almost 19,000 tons anyway at normal displacement. There had also been proposals to use steam turbines in the Dantons, but France didn't yet have any factories capable of making them and importing the turbines from Britain was deemed too expensive. Probably their best option would've been to cancel at least half of the Dantons, building only 2-3 of them in order to get a couple of BBs quickly while also leaving multiple slipways available to lay down the first dreadnoughts as soon as their designs were finalized.
    1
  7547.  @stevevalley7835  My thinking, though, is that Britain historically had a single non-compliant ship that they got to grandfather in (Hood), while in this scenario they get at least 3 such monsters (2 Leopards and Hood). And there's a significant chance that if the Leopards and a 10-gun slow version of the Queen Elizabeths already existed, there would've been a requirement that the Admiral-class design be a meaningful step above what Leopard already achieved. As such, we're likely talking about a 10-gun Hood displacing close to 50,000 tons standard. Or perhaps a 9-gun Hood with triple turrets. Which sadly would result in a less attractive ship, but a pretty monstrously powerful one by 1922 standards. If Britain has 3 Treaty-busters that they get to grandfather in, even if "only" mounting 15" rather than 16" guns, I doubt the US and Japan would be anywhere near as favorably inclined toward letting Britain also get that exemption to the 10-year holiday for the Nelson-class. For the Nelsons to still exist in some form, Japan would probably demand to get some additional concession beyond just getting to keep Mutsu, and America in turn would want more than just keeping Colorado and West Virginia. At a minimum, I figure America would also get to keep Washington and Japan would get to build a single 35,000 ton BB in the 20s.

  7556.  @liladoodle  If Langley had never existed, most likely Lexington would have been CV-1. The reason USS Washington was cancelled was the Washington Naval Treaty, which allowed for only two capital ships per navy to be converted into 33,000 ton aircraft carriers. Any further conversions would have to comply with the normal 27,000 ton tonnage limit as purpose-built CVs. That substantially greater size allowance was what make Lexington and Saratoga worthwhile, despite the technical challenges involved in the conversion. Not only would Washington not get that advantage, out of all the US capital ships that were cancelled to comply with the treaty, she was by a wide margin the least suitable for conversion. Look at Japan's experience with Kaga, which proved to be a significantly worse carrier than Akagi due to her shorter hull resulting in both a shorter flight deck and a lower top speed. Kaga was only chosen for conversion by necessity, after Amagi's keel was broken on the slipway by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Now consider that Kaga's hull before the conversion was already 144 feet longer than Washington's. They best you'd be able to get out of a conversion of Washington would be something similar to HMS Eagle. Frankly, even a bad carrier like USS Ranger is better than that, because at least Ranger was decently fast and 145 feet longer than a Colorado-class hull. The other thing to remember about the treaty limits is that they didn't just limit the individual tonnage of warships, but also the collective tonnage of the entire fleet. The US Navy was allowed a total of 135,000 tons of aircraft carriers. Which means you really want to avoid inefficient designs that waste tonnage if you can help it. And thanks converting Washington into a 27,000 ton carrier would result in a far less efficient than any conceivable purpose-built carrier of the same tonnage.

They were originally looking to harvest a turret from HMS Gambia, when somebody pointed out that they could preserve an entire ship rather than just a turret. Gambia's hull was in pretty bad shape, and Belfast was in much better condition, so they decided that was the ship they wanted. But in 1971 the government refused to pay for the preservation, and thus private fundraising had save the ship.

  7632. The reason why I can't see any Anglo-American War happening is the lack of any actual points of contention between the US and UK in the 1920s. Combined with the fact that the British population had no appetite for further war less than a decade after WW1. Plus, the UK had already decided to shift from alliance with Japan to alliance with the US even before WW1 ended. This was why, for example, they literally provided the complete blueprints of HMS Hood (at the time the most powerful and advanced warship in the world) to the US Navy and recommended that they should build similar ships. Regarding torpedoes on cruisers, given how bad the American torpedoes actually were in the late 1930s, the USN didn't really lose much by ditching them from cruiser designs. While the Japanese "long lance" torpedoes, those were a double-edged sword since they had a tendency to explode catastrophically if hit while still in their tubes. That's how Choukai was lost, for example. At the hands of an escort carrier's 5"/38 AA gun, which is a pretty embarrassing way for a heavy cruiser to be disabled. Also, you left out USS Wichita from pre-war cruisers. She would have better armor than both Takao and the Towns, and also better guns.

But they're normally referred to only by their given name and father's surname.

If NATO didn't exist then Putin's first step would've been invade the Baltic states, and then to proceed with this invasion of Ukraine. Putin's anti-NATO stance was rejected by the West because the West isn't going to be bossed around by a 3rd-world dictator. Also, if a bear comes at me aggressively, I don't poke it in the eye.

Like his open advocacy on multiple occasions this year for a military coup. Seeing as a retired officer is still an officer, Flynn can be court-martialed for that. A civilian couldn't be charged with a crime merely for saying that a coup should happen. They'd need to be at a minimum involved in actually plotting such a coup. But an Army officer can tried under the UCMJ for it.

  7686. Romney didn't have to be making day-to-day decisions to be in charge. He let his subordinates handle the day-to-day stuff, and took a plane back to MA periodically to attend board meetings.

  7704. ​@Karl Dubhe Prinz Eugen was a bit over 2,000 tons heavier than Graf Spee, and they had similar armor. Eugen also had a 32 knot top speed, same as Exeter. Meaning that unlike with Graf Spee, the British cruisers would get to dictate the engagement. The German 20.3cm gun was also longer-ranged than the British 8" (as well it should be, given that it's a longer-barreled gun designed a decade later), and quite a lot longer ranged than the British 6". Now whether Eugen would actually be able to hit anything while firing from outside the British' ships range is questionable. You don't normally score hits from beyond Exeter's 28km max range, let alone at Eugen's 33.5km max range. But just shooting from that range would encourage the British cruisers to maneuver rather than chasing in a straight line, further allowing Eugen to flee with impunity. Her mission is commerce raiding, not duking it out with warships, so running away is clearly the choice Captain Langsdorff (presuming it's still him in command when we swap out Graf Spee for Prinz Eugen) would make.

In fact, a twin 16"/50 turret was designed historically, for the Lexington-class battlecruisers. Obviously that was a different 16"/50 gun, but since the turret design already existed and there's a few dozen 16"/50 Mark 2 barrels lying around without ships to put them into it would seem like a good choice. Unfortunately I haven't found any data on the barbette width of the Lexingtons, but it appears to be right around 10 meters. So that would probably have been a good fit for Scharnhorst's barbettes.

It used to be that battleship lines always started at Tier 3, Destroyers at Tier 2, and Cruisers at Tier 1. Now they routinely skip lower tiers even when one or more obvious candidates exist to fill it. The Pan-Asia cruiser line, for example, had no reason to skip tiers 2-4, which unlike tiers 6-10 could've had real rather than made-up cruisers fill them. The 2nd US battleship line could also have easily been a full line spanning tiers 3-10 instead of a mini-line from only 8-10. The Russian CL/CA split could've kept Kirov in the tech tree (instead of becoming one of 4 Tier 5 Soviet premium cruisers) and had the CA line start at Tier 4.

  7936.  @chuckm1961  The original Zionists were completely upfront about the fact that they were colonizers. And why wouldn't they be? It wasn't until the 1950s that anybody in Europe thought of colonialism as a bad thing. In the 19th and early 20th century, colonialism was openly celebrated as being the height of civilization. Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism and revered in Israel as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State", openly and proudly declared in the 19th century that Jews would colonize Palestine, and that they would do so directly following the British Empire's model of colonizing the Americas and Africa. To support this endeavor, the Zionist movement would establish such companies as the "Jewish Colonisation Association" (1891), "Jewish Colonial Trust" (1899), and "Palestine Jewish Colonization Association" (1924). Herzl and his World Zionist Organization insisted on using the colonial model because if European Jews asked for permission to immigrate to Palestine, the existing population could say no. By colonizing Palestine, they would take away the existing population's ability to reject their takeover of the land. This was not a secret, it was their openly-declared intention. It's only now in the 21st century, when the vast majority of the world considers "colonialism" a dirty word, that supporters of Israel started denying that their country was founded by colonization. Israel isn't unique in that regard. Many nations were founded by colonization. Every single nation in the Americas originated out of colonialism, for example. The difference, of course, is that Israeli colonialism is still ongoing.

  7937. In reality, you're just desperately flailing for a reason to not make them a state, solely because you're a supporter of the political party that's unpopular in DC. The residents of DC have no connection to Maryland, and Maryland also rejects the idea of being "given" that territory and population. Maryland doesn't want it because those DC residents (who again, have no connection to Maryland, having been separate from the state for centuries) would instantly become a powerful political force within the state. Because DC would become the largest city in Maryland.
    1
  7938.  @TainyaGaming  Making DC part of Maryland would be unconstitutional unless approved by Maryland. And Maryland won't approve it, because they don't want a bunch of outsiders to suddenly become Maryland's largest population center. The only way you'd be able to force such a transfer against Maryland's will is if you pass a constitutional amendment transferring the residential parts of DC to Maryland. Statehood for DC is in fact the far easier and more reasonable solution.

  7950. A refit replacing the 6" twin turrets with 5.25" dual-purpose mounts (or 4.5" BD as on Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, and Renown for that matter) would've been fairly unlikely, just like how it was for the real-life Nelsons. Because as the newest capital ships, they'd be near the back of the line for getting a major refit. That said, even with fairly minimum refits pre-WW2, the F3s would've been extremely useful ships, on account of being easily fast enough to keep pace with the KGVs. Plus, it would've been a great help to logistics, since the 15"/50 would've used the same shells as the existing 15"/42. And given the highly questionable lightweight shells that were chosen for the IRL Nelsons' 16"/45, the reduction in firepower by using the 15"/50 instead is isn't nearly as bad as you'd expect from an inch smaller caliber. The British 16" shell is only 110 lb heavier with 2.7 lb larger bursting charge compared to the new 15" shell that the Royal Navy adopted in the interwar period. The other potential impact of the Nelsons being built to the F3 design is that with another pair of impressively well-armed fast capital ships to send around the world, Hood's workload should probably have been reduced during the interwar period. Meaning she both would've have gotten as worn down and would've probably gotten an additional refit at some point pre-WW2. Oh, and also the potential impact on the King George V class. If 15" was already the only caliber used by the Royal Navy's capital ships, I wonder if there would've been significantly harder push to adopt one of the designs with 15" rather than 14" guns. If that did end up happening, that removes the considerable teething problems that the KGVs' quad turrets had. Which might have led to much better performance by Prince of Wales at Denmark Strait, since the new 15" guns and triple turrets would simply need to be refinements of the by then well-proven weapons of the F3s. And if Hood were also replaced in that battle by an F3, with its superior firepower and protection? Bismarck would've probably fared very poorly, having no viable option other than using her 2 knot speed advantage over PoW in an attempt to flee.

Sadly, it didn't get any orders, but it seems that would be the mechanically simplest way to make a fully ambidextrous bullpup.

What actually concerns Russia about NATO is that NATO membership makes it impossible for Russia to conquer the Baltic states and Poland. The entire framing of calling it "NATO expansion" is Russian propaganda in and of itself. NATO didn't "expand" into Eastern Europe. The nations of Eastern Europe begged NATO to let them become members, in order to be protected against a certain large hostile nation to their east that has a centuries-long history of oppressing them.

  8004. The funniest parts aren't even the mental competency test, it's that Trump apparently thinks that (1) being President requires physical strength and (2) that he is physically fit himself. Also, Crist was a Republican when he was governor of Florida. And as far as DeSantis not running until 2028, the problem with that idea from his perspective would be he has no idea if he'll still be this prominent in the Republican Party in four years. Just look at what happened to Chris Christie. In 2012, the Republicans were portraying him as their rising star, but he opted not to run. And when he did run in 2016, it amounted to absolutely nothing. The fact of the matter is, if there's a lot of buzz about a candidate potentially running for President, there's very rarely any upside to them passing on the current election and then running again in the next one.

Remember, it's about 25% of coronavirus infections that result in severe illness, and from 1 to 10% (depending on availability of medical care) who die from it. This isn't like Ebola, where if you get infected you're probably going to die. The reason COVID is such a problem isn't that it's highly lethal, it's that it's highly contagious.

That's because the American osteopathy schools have abandoned the quackery and admit that "osteopathy" only works to treat joint and lower back pain. Everything else they do is just regular western medicine like a normal MD. But a DO from an American university is the only kind that makes them a real doctor. In the rest of the world, "osteopathy schools" still teach the original, 19th century quack version of osteopathy and claim joint manipulation can cure everything.

I've seen a few photos of USS Marblehead in 1932-33 showing that when her lower aft casemates were removed, a single turret was installed on top of the aft superstructure to replace those guns (thus preserving the 8-gun broadside). Can you find any details of how this happened, and why a similar refit wasn't done to the rest of the Omaha-class? The turret in question looks very much like they took the parts from one of the removed casemates and welded a roof on top of the gun shield to enclose it even though it was no longer inside the superstructure.

I have to wonder, would simply updating the Mackensen design with 1930s technology and retaining the 4x2 350mm have been a better choice? That might have been a less protected ship, but the much heavier armament would've made her much more of a threat to capital ships. And she'd still be better-protected than Britain's Renown-class.

And backing up while still pointing a rifle at people is not the same thing as "running away". The reason people were trying to take the rifle away from is that there's no way to subdue an active shooter while letting him keep his gun.
    1
  8141.  @georgewahogo7568  How do you "keep a safe distance" from a person with a rifle? An AR-15 has an effective range over around 300 yards. It kind of takes a while to get that far away from a shooter, and you can't outrun a bullet. And they had no reason to think he would stop shooting if they fled from him.

  8143.  @Clonetrooper17  No, 305mm ammunition wouldn't have worked in the 320mm guns, at least not as-is. You'd need to remove the barrel liner and replace it with a thicker one that brings the bore back down to 305mm diameter. Or alternatively, since the turrets were originally designed for 305mm guns, just remove the 320s and replace them with some leftover Gangut guns. Which might have been what the Soviet Navy actually intended to do in Novorossiysk's next refit, had she not struck a mine and sunk. Though I've also seen some claims that they intended to drop in the entire turrets off a Gangut; I have no idea how plausible that would be since the barbettes wouldn't be the same size (for either the triple or twin turrets).

  8144. The idea that Lanza's mother wouldn't have bought 30-round magazines if the ban was in place is ridiculous. It was only sales of new magazines that was banned. The many millions of magazines of greater than 10 round capacity that were already in circulation continued to be sold during the assault weapon ban. There's no reason to think Lanza's mother wouldn't have bought those. Also, "so many" mass shootings end with the shooting getting tackled while reloading? That happened ONCE.

  8151. One thing that's noticeable from the photos (see 1:35 and 2:08 ) is that some of them show the IS-1 with a two-bladed propeller and a less pointed spinner. An assembly which looks like it came straight off an I-16. Most likely that was the initial fit when they were rushing to try to get it flying for Stalin's parade, and making maximum use of existing components. While the rest of the photos show the three-bladed prop and a more streamlined spinner. Probably what the design team had intended all along. Also, it kind of surprised me that (unlike the later IS series of heavy tanks), sharing Stalin's initials seems to have been a complete coincidence with these planes.

I said that Crimea is the only part of Ukraine where ethnic Russians are the majority of the population. The Ukrainian government never said that there are no ethnic Russians in their country. Ethnic Russians are about 17% of the population, whereas ethnic Ukrainians are 78%. And even in Donbas, which has the largest concentration of ethnic Russians outside of Crimea, they are only about 33% of the population. So yes, there are no ethnic Russian regions of Ukraine other than Crimea.

The Netherlands not being subject to naval treaties and (unlike most non-treaty nations) having their own shipyards meant they could basically build whatever they could afford. But I wasn't aware that they actually intended on doing both.

Only one of them had a felony conviction. Apparently that guy was convicted of sexual contact with a minor. But he was 18 himself at the time, and apparently the conviction was for having sex with a 16 year old girl. In many states, there's an exception to statutory rape for cases with such small age difference, but in Arizona there isn't. The other guy killed and the guy who was wounded have misdemeanor convictions, not felonies.

  8387.  @gregorywright4918  It's not about the armor, it's that on a bigger ship you can fit a larger, more comprehensive sensor suite without making the ship excessively topheavy. Which was a significant issue with the light cruiser conversions. The Galveston- and Providence-class cruisers (converted Clevelands) had significant stability problems from the topweight of the conversions, and also issues with hull warping. If Hawaii had been completed as a large missile cruiser, it's very likely that she would've been built without armor. Little of the armor had been installed yet when work had halted, and most likely what armor had already been installed would've been removed. Had Alaska and Guam also been converted, most likely the armor would've been left in place because it wouldn't have been worthwhile to remove it. But as with the smaller cruisers, we would've seen some or all of the main guns and existing superstructure removed in favor of missiles. In theory the advantage of converting light cruisers is that there's more of them. But in practice only a handful of the Clevelands actually got converted into missile cruisers. Replacing a couple of those conversions with Alaska conversions would've been more expensive, but also would've probably gotten more value for the money.

  8400.  @elmagnificodep  It's an objective fact that Republicans are corrupt. The entire purpose of the party is corruption. No amount of whining about "MSM" will change that reality. And again, I know this is a foreign concept to Republicans, but the way you win a Democratic primary is getting the most votes. We don't cancel primaries and automatically award a state's delegates to a candidate based on party leaders' backroom deals. Which is exactly what Republicans are doing this year.
    1
  8401.  @elmagnificodep  Superdelegates are irrelevant. They have no bearing on the outcome. This isn't the first time that Republicans have cancelled primaries. Colorado had no Republican primary in 2016 either. And the point isn't whether Weld or any of the other nobodies would beat Trump. The issue is that Republicans want to make sure there's no risk of Trump winning by an embarrassingly small margin. And saying that there's no need for a vote because Trump is the incumbent is the opposite of democracy. It's autocracy, but then again that's what Republicans are all about. And Trump is a stuttering fool. He thinks that windmills cause cancer. He thinks the coronavirus death toll is fake and that flu vaccines can stop it. He thinks that "clean coal" means using soap to wash the coal. Those are just a few examples of your cult leader's idiocy.

And no, Russia's assertion to have annexed parts of Ukraine were not in accordance with United Nations rules.

(The Lord Nelson-class pre-dreadnoughts also had no casemates, with the 9.2" secondary guns in turrets and the 12-pdr tertiary battery as open mounts. But they weren't actually completed until after Dreadnought, in part because their original main guns and turrets were swiped for Dreadnought to speed up her construction.)

  8472. For the Number 13 class, they again looked at those various more heavily armed designs seen at 2:33. But also an additional 3 designs with thicker armor (330mm rather than 305mm belt, and 460mm guns). Like the previous designs they were designated by letters. K had 4 twin turrets, L had 5 twin turrets, and M had 4 triple turrets. K was the design selected for Battleships Number 13 through 16. Number 13's firepower would've been relatively comparable to Yamato on a hull around 16,000 tons lighter, though the armor would've been vastly inferior. Also, the 1920s design 460mm guns would've fired a shell that was about 100kg lighter.

  8482. Italy actually had 11 triple 12-inch turrets (plus 2 twin turrets) when they were scrapping battleships. 4 triples from Dante Alighieri, 4 triples from the formerly Austro-Hungarian Tegetthoff, and 3 triples and 2 twins from the salvaged Leonardo da Vinci. Plus they get 4 more triple turrets by removing the Q turrets from the Cavour and Duilio-class battleships during their 1930s reconstructions. Even if you ignore the 12"/45 Skoda guns and turrets (since they're a completely different design from the Italian 12"/46s), that still is 11 triple turrets. So if they had the budget for it, that would allow for three cruiser-killers with 3x3 armament and a half-sister with 3x2 and 1x2. Probably boring the guns out to 12.6" like on the battleships, for whatever that's worth. Actually if the Skoda guns and their turrets had been kept around, maybe you bore them out to 12.6" as well that would mostly deal with the logistical problems of their Austro-Hungarian origin. Maybe use those guns for a pair of super-Deutschland style cruisers. As for how Italy would pay for such a thing? Maybe Mussolini just decides to spend a lot more money than Italy actually hand and says he'll pay off the debts by plundering his enemies.

  8501.  @follker  I think Drach has addressed this one before. The issue is post-penetration damage. A tank is tiny compared to a warship, and usually has only 4-5 crew packed tightly together. A shaped charge warhead that penetrates the tank has a very good chance of detonating the ammo and/or killing the crew. The sheer size of a battleship means that even if it's a 460mm shell with a shaped charge, the molten jet it creates isn't going to have such effects. It'll be very bad for whoever is in the section that gets hit, but for the ship itself you'll simply have a big hole in the side. A conventional AP shell, on the other hand, does its actual damage with its bursting charge. Once it gets through the armor, it explodes inside the ship. There are however some examples of shaped charge torpedoes. A big hole above the waterline isn't going to sink a ship. A big hole underwater will. All the shaped charge warhead torpedoes that have entered service, as far as I know, are submarine torpedoes. They give even a small torpedo a very good chance of doing fatal damage to a submarine.

At least until the turrets get stripped to replace the ones that got launched from tanks destroyed in Ukraine.

  8586. Eisah Vakohler In reality, it's Trump (not the Democrats) who always accuses others of what he is personally guilty of. The memo does not show that the warrant was obtained with lies. The dossier was not a lie, and contrary to Nunes's false claims in the memo was not the main source for getting an entirely legal warrant to get a wiretap on Carter Page, who was already known by the FBI and CIA as early as 2013 to have been recruited as an agent by Russian intelligence And you mention Watergate? It took over 2 years of investigation to get to the bottom of Nixon's involvement in it. So whining about how Trump has been investigated for "over a year without even accusing him of a crime" is just pathetic on your part. As is acting as if the investigation is for "no reason", despite mountains of evidence of Russian interference in the election and ties with Trump and his top campaign staff. You do realize that there have already been indictments out of this investigation, right? And that some of those indicted have confessed and plead guilty? And you do realize that this investigation wasn't launched to "get Trump", but to find any crimes that might have been committed by Americans in connection with the Russian meddling. The simple fact is that investigations follow the evidence, all of the evidence has pointed to the Trump campaign. No amount of your screeching about "massive documented corruption in the FBI" (that you oddly fail to actually document) and straw man nonsense about the ways the media is supposedly picking on poor Trump will change any of this.

One of Bernie's problems (both times, but especially in 2020) was that the campaign strategists he had working for him weren't any good at their jobs. The electoral system we have now sucks, but it's what a candidate has to work with and strategize around. You can't change the system unless you win.

  8595.  @josephtheoracle3344  It's still 100% appeasement to give over Ukrainian land, and (as frequently seems to get glossed over) the Ukrainian people living on that land, over to Russian rule and Russian genocide. It's appeasement because it's the same "peace no matter the cost" mentality that led to appeasement of Germany in 1938. And it wouldn't actually result in peace. Because any halt to the fighting would be purely temporary. If this "deal" is actually agreed to, in a few years Russia will just invade Ukraine again and demand even more territory be conceded to them in the name of "peace".

  8618. In retrospect, Germany's huge mistake was in trying to knock out France at the start of the war before shifting focus to Russia. They should have done the opposite, striking out at Russia first and fighting a defensive war in the west. Which would've had the added advantage that since they wouldn't be violating Belgian neutrality, there wouldn't have been a valid pretext for Britain to enter the war on France and Russia's side. And without British involvement, the U-boat campaign and the Zimmerman telegram never would've happened to draw America into the war. Against just France, the Germans probably could've held the line in the west until Russia was knocked out. Granted, the British still would've tried to find some other pretext to join the war, just to keep Germany from getting too powerful. But they'd need to find something that would actually be acceptable to the public. Germany brutalizing Belgium fit the bill. But the British people would generally not have the same sympathy for Russia.

The issue with global warming is whether Earth will remain suitable for human life over the next century.

Nobody was researching a flu vaccine until after the Spanish flu pandemic broke out. And since they thought it was caused by a bacteria, they were trying to vaccinate against what was then called "Bacillus influenzae" (now known as Haemophilus influenzae) instead of against the virus actually causing the disease. Since the bacteria actually had nothing to do with the flu, this did absolutely nothing. It wasn't until 1933 that the influenza A virus was discovered, and only then was research into an actual flu vaccine possible. The first flu vaccine became available in 1945.

  8666.  @davidlummis1961  There was no such "8 years of indiscriminate shelling" in Donbas. That's a lie straight out of Russian state media. Putin's crap about "protecting ethnic Russians/Russian speakers" is literally identical to Hitler's pretext of "protecting ethnic Germans to invade Czechoslovakia and Poland. In both cases the actual motive was simple conquest. And NATO expansion to Russia's borders (nevermind that NATO is already on Russia's borders), that's none of Russia's business. They don't get to dictate to other nations what alliances they're allowed to join. Russia sees NATO expansion as a "threat" because it takes away their ability to invade the nations that join NATO. Putin's Russia is an expansionist empire, which wants to take back all the nations that had previously been conquered but have since achieved independence.

Presumably the British simply decided that even though this would conform with their normal turret naming scheme, that was just a stupid amount of letters and went with numbers instead. Though I wonder if perhaps they'd already been designated by number during construction back when Brazil first approved the design, and the British just decided to stick with that.

But the ones that were already there, Germany should've kept them running for their full lifespan instead of panicking over a disaster that happened in Japan which was physically impossible to happen in Germany.

Italy's abortive plans a license-produced Panther also considered it a heavy tank. Of course, the Panther was enormous compared to both of those nations' existing tanks.

  8740.  @michaelkovacic2608  I'd also be interested in knowing if the Kriegsmarine actually had any finalized secondary battery decided on for Gneisenau. Her 15cm guns had been removed to use as coastal batteries, so clearly they were going to be replaced with something. The problem is that neither of the Kriegsmarine's planned 12.8cm dual-purpose guns ever made it into production. The navalized version of the Flakzwilling 40 never had its turret design completed, and I don't think the SK C/41 intended for destroyers was ready yet either in 1943 when the conversion work was cancelled.

The idea that founding fathers thought rural areas were in need of "protection" is complete nonsense. The actual purpose of the electoral college was to enhance the voting power of slave states. A popular vote system would mean that each state's electoral power would be based on how many voters it had. But with the electoral college, the number of slaves in a state would also increase its electoral power, even though those slaves were not eligible to vote.

The Lexington-class battlecruisers were all named after famous warships of the American Revolution or the War of 1812, and two of those (which happened to also have the names of famous battles) ended up as the US Navy's first proper fleet carriers. So from then onward, naming carriers after famous warships of the past was the pattern the USN went with. But then during WW2, they found themselves building literally hundreds of aircraft carriers, and needed more names. At that point it occurred to them that most of those famous warships of the past had been named for battles in the Revolution, and thus battles in general would make a pretty good theme.

  8838. As you can see at 2:04 the Mixmaster was also at one point upgraded to mixed propulsion (highly appropriate, given its name) with the contra-rotating pusher props retained but with a small turbojet hung under each wing. This was the XB-42A. As for replacing the side-by-side canopies with a single canopy for both crew? That's what was done with the 2nd XB-42 prototype. It doesn't seem to have ever been done with either XB-43 prototype. Probably because by the time they worked out that the single canopy was a better setup, it was clear that the XB-43 would only be a testbed rather than an operation combat aircraft, so it would've been a waste of time to make changes like that.

  8854. When we're dealing with people who don't know a damn thing about guns, generally the new restrictions they want to implement are far from "common sense" and are in fact illogical and based purely on emotional reactions. "Assault weapon bans" are a perfect example. "Assault weapons" are defined on the basis of cosmetic features that play no role in a gun's lethality or its potential use by criminals. Yet lots of people think that this is somehow a "common sense" restriction.

  8855. With regard to HMS Tiger, I have to wonder why didn't the Royal Navy keep her in service as a dedicated cruiser-killer? At the very same time she was being decommissioned and sold for scrap, Germany was building the Deutschland-class cruisers. And there was quite a bit of worry in Britain about how the threat they posed as commerce raiders. So it seems odd that they would immediately retire one of only 4 ships in their fleet that was both faster and more powerful than Deutschland. Obviously, the London Naval Treaty required some capital ships to be scrapped (or as in Iron Duke's case, demilitarized as a training ship) to comply with the tonnage limits. But surely Tiger would've been more useful than HMS Revenge, which was both in worse material condition than Tiger as of 1930 and more limited in her ability to be modernized.
    1
  8856. It'd a pity, though. I'd have loved to see how a rebuilt Tiger would've stacked up against the rebuilt Kongos. They were such similar ships to begin with, after all. I also wonder whether a rebuilt Tiger would've swapped out the 13.5-inch guns for 14-inch. I seem to recall reading that the BL 14 inch Mk VII had been designed specifically so that they could fit into Iron Duke's remaining 3 turrets for testing, even though ultimately they were just tested on land before being installed in King George V. While that would've been a major added expense to a refit, it would also simplify logistics. Had Tiger been kept in service, she would've had to either be permanently assigned to the Home Fleet (13.5-inch shells remained in stock in the British Isles for railway and coastal guns), or naval bases abroad would've needed to stock those shells for the use of a single ship. I suppose that could've actually been a factor in retiring Tiger and the Iron Dukes, even though I would rate them as overall better ships than the Rs despite their smaller guns. Certainly more upgrade potential to their hulls. But it's not as if the Royal Navy had any way of knowing that Parliament would mandate they adopt a smaller gun for the 2nd London Naval Treaty.

I'm guessing that the hydraulic screw for the outrigger legs on a real Patriot launcher is more expensive than a hydraulic piston. Given that the launcher on this prop will be made of just sheet metal and/or painted wood, it'll be a lot lighter than a real Patriot launcher. So the thin, flimsy outriggers with hydraulic pistons would be sufficient when you need the launcher to set up for its action shots. And all of the other discrepancies between the prop and the real thing are stuff you have to pause, zoom, and search for. Nobody cares if their prop is that perfect.

  8962. Did Britain actually have enough large slipways available (ie not already building something else) to build the 3 Canadian QEs at the same time as the 5 historical QEs? It seems as if to get them laid down as soon as possible, we'd see HMCS Acadia, Quebec, and Ontario occupying the slipways that were historically used for the first 3 Revenges. Meaning that they get delayed in their laying down until some time in 1915. With such a delay I wonder whether those 3 ships would be built at all. By the time slipways would be available again, Jackie Fisher is back in place as First Sea Lord. Isn't it fairly likely that he would've decided that since haven't actually been laid down yet, they should be reordered as battlecruisers in the same way that the final pair of Rs were? In which case the only R-class battleships will be Royal Sovereign and Royal Oak, and there'd be as many as 5 15" armed battlecruisers (Revenge, Ramillies, Resolution, Renown, and Repulse). Though possibly only 4 such battlecruisers would be built. After all, HMS Resistance was simply cancelled rather than being reordered as a battlecruiser like Renown and Repulse. A battlecruiser is after all generally more expensive than a battleship. So 3 fewer Revenges leading to 2 more Renowns seems somewhat plausible. If that's how it turns out, the Treaty impacts are fairly obvious. When the London Naval Treaty comes around, Britain (plus Canada) has 1 fewer capital ship than they did historically but overall better ones. The ships disposed of would obviously be Tiger as the only 13.5" ship left in the fleet, and Royal Sovereign and Royal Oak as the least useful of the remaining battleships. On the other hand if all 3 of the delayed Rs get reordered as battlecruisers (meaning 5 Revenge-class battlecruisers), the same number of ships need to be disposed of for London as were done historically. Leaving Britain with a hard choice. The final ship disposed of would have to be either an R-class battlecruiser or one of the QEs. All of these are very useful ships, so it'd very tough to choose which one has to go. Back to the Canadian QEs, another interesting prospect with them is that since they would've presumably been homeported in Canada, it's possible one or more of them sailed to New York to be refitted by an American shipyard (either before the war, or during it in the same way that Richelieu was after defecting to the Free French). Imagine a QE getting the sort of refit that Nevada, California, Tennessee, and West Virginia did, with a South Dakota style superstructure and 8 twin 5"/38s for the new secondary armament.
    1
  8963. Oh, and something else that occurred to me. With Britain having overall a much faster fleet in this alternate timeline, I wonder how that might have impacted the Nelson-class battleships. Is it possible that Britain would've decided to transition to an entirely fast battle line, and choose the F3 battlecruiser instead of the O3 battleship design for the Nelsons? The F3 was still quite well-armored despite being a "battlecruiser".

They're trying to cut funding to public schools and funneling that money to private schools without holding them to any sort of standards (see Louisiana's recent funding of creationist schools). And as for Republicans supposedly being happier and more generous than Democrats? The "more generous" claim comes from deceptive studies. And it's easy to be happier if you're willfully ignorant of the suffering of others, or just don't care about it.

  8985. Warren Rhinerson Really, you don't see any propaganda in how those Texas textbooks tried to practically erase slavery from US history (labeling slaves as "workers" and "immigrants", and denying that slavery was even a cause of the Civil War)? Or claiming that Moses was a major democratic leader who influence the Founding Fathers? Or science textbooks that challenge the validity of evolution and deny the existence of global warming? Or claiming that Muslims are the only group that ever engages in terrorism and that laziness is an inherent trait of Mexican culture? And as for that MIT study? It doesn't say what you claim it does. It shows that conservatives donate more, but overwhelmingly they donate to their churches. And as that very LA Times article you linked to pointed out, studies have shown that most churches spend only a quarter or less of the donations they receive on actually helping the poor. https://philanthropy.iupui.edu/files/research/giving_focused_on_meeting_needs_of_the_poor_july_2007.pdf Liberals on the other hand tend to donate their money to dedicated charities rather than to churches that do a little charitable work on the side. When adjusted for that, the MIT study shows there's no meaningful difference between how much liberals and conservatives give to help the poor.

  9072.  @TheTrueAdept  Even if all the kinks were worked out, there were some more fundamental problems with the M247. One of those innate flaws was imposed by the Army's own requirement for reusing the M48 Patton hull. That resulted in a vehicle that's too slow to keep up with the M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley that it was supposed to protect from air attack. If the Army wanted to reduce costs by reusing an existing chassis instead of building something from scratch, they should've looking into buying old Leopard 1 hulls from Germany since the Leopard 2 was entering service at the same time as the DIVAD competition was happening. The Leopard 1 hull would still be slower than the Abrams (though only by 5 mph on roads), but slightly faster than the Bradley. And working the kinks out of the M247 would've likely required replacing the tracking radar entirely. The modified AN/APG-66 that Ford used was a poor choice, because it's designed to operate looking down from the sky rather than looking up from the ground.

Everybody would be voting solely for which party they want to be in power, and not voting for a specific MP for the constituency in which they live. You wouldn't have your own MP who you can vote out in the next election if he displeases you. And thus the only accountability to individual MPs would come from party leadership, not from the voters. Likewise, there could no longer be independent MPs. Ranked choice voting would allow local representation to still exist, while also not producing the disproportionate mess that is first past the post.

  9116. The biggest reason we don't have battleships anymore is that they're so manpower-intensive. One Iowa-class battleship required about 1800 men to operate. That's equivalent to the crew of six Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. Each of those destroyers packs 96 missiles in their VLS tubes, compared to 32 Tomahawks that an Iowa could carry after their refit. And given modern radar, aircraft, and missiles, it's not likely that warships will come within gun range of each other. Granted, that's with the WW2-built battleships. There's only so far you can go in refitting an old ship, . A new-built battleship could be much more automated. But the thing is, a 50,000 ton battleship is going to have a much higher per-unit cost than a 10,000 ton destroyer. And those destroyers already cost around $2 billion apiece. Even if the total amount spent would be the same (due to cancelling a few DDGs to built the BBs), that kind of per-unit cost is probably going to be rejected by Congress. And there's also the factor of a larger ship being a bigger target and being harder to replace if it's sunk. If a Burke-class DDG gets sunk, that's a significant amount of firepower that's lost, but it's only one of 68 ships of the class so far, with more being built every year. If battleships were built, there'd be only a handful of them and any that gets lost would take many years to build a replacement for. Granted, a battleship would be individually harder to sink than a destroyer, but there's no such thing as an unsinkable ship.

  9117. Max Jones  That's true, but like I said that would have a much higher initial purchase price. And Congress would likely balk at that, even if the overall naval budget was the same. Look at what happened with the Zumwalt-class destroyers. When the per-unit cost ballooned to more than double that of an Arleigh Burke, Congress forced the cancellation of all but the first 3 ships. (But then, given how poorly the Zumwalts have turned out, with the 155mm guns they were built around now being nonfunctional, maybe the Navy dodged a bullet by not being allowed to make 29 more of them like they wanted.)

  9125.  @ericamborsky3230  Even one of the Kongos would've eviscerated Spee's squadron. Look at how handily he was beaten by Sturdee's squadron at the Falklands. Kongo alone would've been superior to Sturdee's entire squadron, let alone Spee's. Kongo can steam at 27.5 knots, meaning none of Spee's ships can even run away from her. And her 14" guns give her a similar weight of broadside to Invincible and Inflexible combined. As for Jutland...if Japan had sent the Kongos to Britain for whatever reason, they'd presumably be assigned to Beatty to form a 4th Battlecruiser Squadron. This is the equivalent of adding 4 more of Tiger to the fleet (albeit with slightly thinner armor and slightly heavier guns). And instead of having 6 battlecruisers to go up against 1st Scouting Group's 5, Beatty would now have 10. A full 2 to 1 advantage like this means that even with Beatty's incompetent signaling causing 5th Battle Squadron to arrive late, Hipper is going to get mauled quite badly. Every British and Japanese battlecruiser would be able to double up on a German counterpart, and that's not ending well for the Germans.
    1
  9126. Regarding Jutland...how would things have turned out differently had Major Harvey succumbed to his wounds slightly faster and thus Lion was also lost in a catastrophic magazine explosion? On its face this would seem like very bad news for the British, since it's another powerful capital ship lost. On the other hand, it means Beatty and Seymour are dead. I'm not sure whether it was Rear Admiral Pakenham of 2nd Battlecruiser Squadron or Rear Admiral Evan-Thomas of 5th Battle Squadron that would have seniority in that case, but one of them would be left to assume command and I'm guessing either of them would've been more competent than Beatty.

Because the F-104 got its contracts via bribery, not by being the best fighter for the job.

The growth for 2018 was 2.9%, same as Obama achieved in 2015. And in 2017, it was 2.2%. As for GDP having "surpassed 3.5 and even hit 4%"? That was quarterly GDP growth, and has only happened once under Trump (4.2% in 2nd quarter 2018), not "continuously". There's only one other quarter in which Trump has seen above 3% GDP growth (3.4% in Q3 2018). Under Obama, the best quarterly GDP figures were 4.5% in Q4 2009, 4.7% in Q4 2011, 5.1% in Q2 2014, and 4.9% in Q3 2014. Obama had above 3% quarterly GDP growth a total 11 times. But I suppose you want to compare apples to oranges, because that's the only way you can make GDP growth look better under Trump than it was under Obama. You're also lying when you claim that Obama said we'd "NEVER" have 3% GDP growth. And as for your absurd question of why Democrats are running on global warming? It's because it'll be catastrophe in 12 years if we continue to do nothing.

Now let's say that Hood takes Rodney's place for the planned refit in New York. Would it be possible to get her back into service in 1943?

Bigger, heavier shells contain bigger, heavier bursting charges. An Iowa also had the ability to fire much further inland, 41,622 yards vs 29,800 yards. That said, there would be times where a larger number of smaller shells would be more useful. It allows for spreading the fire over a larger area, or attacking multiple separate targets at once if needed.

  9313.  @lenablochmusic  The Holodomor is not an invention of the Western press. It's an actual atrocity committed by Stalin. Along with the Asharshylyk (the simultaneous engineered famine in Kazakhstan). The whole point was to kill off ethnic minorities, who were seen as by their very existence a threat to Russian power.
    1
  9314.  @lenablochmusic  No, it was not created by the Nazis. It's simply what actually happened. You are aware that the Holodomor happened in 1932, right? A year before the Nazis had even come to in Germany, let alone taken any action against the USSR. You're simply denying historical fact because you can't accept the idea that Russia has ever done anything wrong. And it's not my regime who's torturing and killing Ukrainians. It's yours that's doing so. The fascist Kremlin regime.

If that shell had functioned property, the stern probably would've been blown off.

Though that leaves me thinking of something else: what the impact of such a design would be in the other navies of the world, particularly the United States and Japan. Would that level of firepower have spurred them adopt 16-inch guns several years earlier (as in, on the New Mexicos and Ises)?

We didn't have the rest of the DCEU trying to take over Wonder Woman or Aquaman's debut films, and we didn't see them fighting a Superman villain instead of somebody actually tied to their mythos.

  9419.  @jovanleon7  That "delegation" was selected by the Indonesian military, not chosen by the Papuan people. And they "100% voted to be a part of Indonesia" because they were quite literally held at gunpoint for the vote.

  9423.  @munchezfonataba  Chosen by who, though? That' the issue. They were chosen by the Indonesian military, not by the indigenous people of West Papua. And they had no actual choice in which way to vote, since the vote was quite literally held at gunpoint.

  9424.  @marcellotenarta5233  Indonesia absolutely refuses to hold a referendum in Papua, because they know what the result would be.

When the most "liberal" bill to actually reach the floor is actually conservative, it'll still be recorded as a "liberal" vote when Democrats mostly support it and far-right loonies in the GOP mostly vote against it. See the Obamacare vote, where in the Senate we got a clone of the Heritage Foundation's proposal from 15 years earlier, yet since Republicans now oppose any kind of health care reform, it's "liberal".

Also, ethnic Russians a minority in eastern Ukraine. The only part of Ukraine that's majority Russian is Crimea, and that's because of Stalin's genocide of the native Tatars and colonization with Russians. And Ukraine has never in fact been ranked as the most corrupt nation in Europe. That's always been Russia.

I still think you guys ought to invest in a tilt-rotor AEW aircraft, since an AEW helicopter can only fly so high and thus can't see nearly as far, though.

One of the penalties that the Senate can impose (as laid out in Article I, Section 3, Clause 7) is disqualification from holding office in the federal government. And Senate rules hold that once somebody is convicted in an impeachment trial, it only takes a simple majority rather than a 2/3 vote to impose that penalty. Do you really think that if 67 Senators were to vote for a President's removal, that there wouldn't be at least 51 also voting for disqualification?

  9599. The think about water vapor, though, is that it doesn't accumulate for very long in the atmosphere.

Thus, the amount of H2O in the atmosphere remains about the same, while CO2 accumulates over long periods. It doesn't fall back down to the ground the way H2O does. Thus, when we pump large amounts of it out by burning fossil fuels, we cause a long-term increase in the greenhouse effect.

With the FN-49, he was completing his wartime work on what the British had designated SLEM-1. But at the time, the FAL prototypes were chambered in 7.92x33mm and 7x43mm, so adapting a FAL magazine to it wasn't exactly an option. By the time the 7.62x51 FAL existed, the FN-49 was already in production with its fixed 10-round mag. At the time the FN-49's design was completed, the assumption was that the FAL would be an assault rifle firing an intermediate cartridge, and the FN-49 would be for anybody who wanted a more conventional full-powered semi-auto rifle.

Barring massive private donations, there was no way Warspite could've been saved no matter how much she deserved it. Hood would've had a slight chance had she emerged victorious at Denmark Strait for only one reason: her larger size and superior speed mean she might have survived into the 1960s.

Without "NATO expansion" as Russia calls it, they would've already used invasions or threats of invasions to dominate the Baltic states and the former Warsaw Pact members. Just look at what they've done with multiple invasions of Georgia and Ukraine, which made the mistake of not joining NATO. And Russia is not a "peer rival", they're just a regional power with dreams of restoring their former empire.

For example, what happens if in the next election, Sinn Fein again ends up as the largest party but the Alliance surpasses DUP as the second largest? At that point, DUP's guarantee of being able to appoint the deputy First Minister becomes not just means of obstruction but an anti-democratic absurdity. But even as it stands, the power-sharing agreement has outlived its usefulness. The Unionists are going to have to accept Irish unification or pack up and move to England. (Scotland wouldn't work, because they're pretty clearly on their way out of the UK as well.)

  9690.  Erik Heath  It wasn't just a single typhoon debacle. In 1945, when Halsey resumed command he promptly sailed his fleet through a typhoon again. The fact that he was rotating command with Spruance makes his shortcomings all the more obvious. When it was the 5th Fleet under Spruance, it never experienced of the debacles that it did as the 3rd fleet under Halsey. For that matter, the reason Halsey was so thoroughly taken in by Ozawa's decoy was his deep desire to match Spruance's sinking of 4 aircraft carriers at Midway. And given the declining number of Japanese carriers, Halsey saw this as his last chance. He prioritized personal glory over the more important mission of protecting the invasion force.

  9691.  Golden Eagle  The scattering of PQ17 was the decision of First Sea Lord Sir Dudley Pound . Admiral Pound died a year and a half later, of brain cancer. I have to wonder if the tumor was already impairing his decision-making at the time, because it really was a bone-headed move. There's also speculation that he was worried that if the first major joint naval operation with the US resulted in heavy American casualties, it would result in less cooperation going forward. If so, pulling away the escort force backfired heavily, because Admiral King (who already hated the British) promptly reassigned the American ships to the Pacific and remained reluctant to cooperate with the Royal Navy for the rest of the war.

  9710. With regard to 29,000-ish ton battleships...did any of those British design studies consider making what amounts to a larger Dunkerque with a pair of 14" quad turrets? That seems like by far the best option to create a useful battleship on such limited tonnage. The up-armored Strasbourg was a 30 knot battleship with 11" belt armor and 8x 13" guns on 28,000 tons. The British 14" quad turret is only about 110 tons heavier than the the French 13" quad. While getting a 14-15" belt like the actual KGVs probably isn't happening on 29,000 tons, the fact that Britain considered 28 knots an acceptable speed (thus not needing quite as much length or as much machinery space as the Dunkerques) suggests to me that 12-13" belt would've been doable in the 29,000 ton range. A small battleship with 8x 14" guns, 12-13" belt, and 28 knots seems like it still would've been enough to be useful. You've only got 2 fewer guns than the real-life KGVs, and 2" thinner armor. Such a ship doesn't seem like it would've been insane to send alongside Hood to fight Bismarck. She'd have better armor than Hood, after all. And fitting sufficient secondary battery on the smaller hull could be handled by the expedient of using the lighter 4.5" turrets...which were better AA guns anyway. The biggest downsides to a ship like this are more limited space to put light AA mounts, and the problems with the British 14" quad turret. The latter of which applied equally to the 35,000 ton KGVs.

  9718.  @burlbird9786  In the 1991 Ukrainian independence referendum, the vote in Crimea was 54%, in Donetsk it was 84%, and in Luhansk it was 84%. Even if you adjust for comparatively lower turnout and pretend that those who didn't vote were the same thing as "no" votes, it would become 68% in Luhansk and 64% in Donetsk. Those are still very large majorities in favor of Ukrainian independence. Crimea was the only place where turnout was as low as you implied. That 54% of votes for leaving the USSR amounted to 37% of the eligible voters. Crimea is the only part of Ukraine where it wasn't an outright majority of the entire electorate voting for independence from the USSR. But even taking that into account, only the people who choose to vote get a voice in an election. Anybody who chooses not to vote is deliberately silencing themselves. If all of the people who didn't vote actually wanted to stay in the USSR, they should've showed up and voted that way. And Crimea retained its status as an autonomous republic even after Ukrainian independence, so it's not as if Ukraine was mistreating the Crimeans.

The only way he gets "replaced" is if he dies before the general election. You're also full of shit with this idea that everybody was conspiring against Bernie. Contrary to what you seem to think, not everything is about Bernie. Bernie didn't get the nomination because he's not as popular as you thought he was. And contrary to the nonsense in this video, if the election were held today, Biden would win in a landslide. The polling makes that obvious.

Mearsheimer also insisted right up to the day of the invasion that Putin would never be foolish enough to invade Ukraine. And when the invasion happened, he insisted that it was all the fault of the US for "provoking" Russia. As if every invader in history hasn't claimed their invasion was "provoked".

  9778.  @stevevalley7835  Mutsu wasn't actually in commission yet when the WNT was being negotiated. Hence she was originally supposed to be scrapped. But she held great importance to the Japanese people (having been paid for with public donations), so they were insistent on getting to keep her. The original proposal was that Maryland and Nagato would've been the only 16-inch armed BBs in the world, at least until the 10 year building holiday expired. In your alternate scenario where the entire Colorado-class were cancelled prior to the treaty, Japan will certainly still insist on getting to keep Mutsu. Most likely this means the US and UK each get to immediately build 2 Treaty-compliant BBs in return for allowing Mutsu to survive.

(That was the only option under the treaty system for a "large cruiser": to sacrifice some of your capital ship tonnage for it.) This was in 1926. With the better steel, more advanced machinery, and the use of welding, the Algerie designers probably could have achieved that on 16,000 tons. Though given the change in design philosophy they probably would've gone for increased armor in exchange for losing a couple of knots of speed.

Then nobody could ever prosecute me." And he fails to grasp that in the bizarro-world where the courts actually agree to this insanity, that would mean Joe Biden, the current President, would be able to do this to Trump.

Along with railing against "the American Empire" but always calling Russia "the Russian Federation" rather than "the Russian Empire". And worst of all, insisting that Ukraine should just give half their country to Russia in exchange for "peace". As if that wouldn't guarantee that Russia would invade again in a few years to seize the other half.

And there's no doubt that the wedge on the front of this tank's turret uses the same principle as the one on the Leopard 2A5 through 2A7. It's hollow and causes projectiles to tumble after penetrating it so that the side of the rod instead of the pointy end will be what hits the main armor.

  9869.  @LUR1FAX  Yes, but given that there already significantly more of the M1917 than the M1903 as of 1920, it would've made more sense to standardize on the M1917 at the time. Unfortunately, at the time target shooting was considered a higher priority than practicality on the battlefield. And target shooters preferred the M1903's windage-adjustable rear sight, even though the rear-mounted peep sight is obviously the better choice for the average fresh out of boot camp soldier who's not an Olympic-level marksman.

  9870.  Mr. Shlock  Had the .276 Garand been adopted, NATO most likely would've standardized on the British 7x43mm round (or a near-identical American round), since that would simply be a shorter version of what America was already using, just like how 7.62x51mm is a shorter .30-06 with nearly the same ballistics. And as for the Garand itself, it would've been about 1 pound lighter (very nice for soldiers in the field) and had a 10-round instead of 8-round clip. Something akin to the M14 probably still would've been adapted from its basic design in the 1950s, but with the lighter, lower-recoiling bullet it would've been a proper assault rifle. The smaller round might also have resulted in a higher-capacity magazine, like 25 or even 30 rounds. Or they might have kept it to 20 rounds anyway, on the premise that keeping the mag shorter would be good for firing in the prone position. After all, even the M16 started out with a 20-round mag until they decided it needed to match the AK-47's 30 rounds.

And you have to buy them through properly licensed dealers (most dealers don't deal in NFA weapons, so they just get the regular Type 1 FFL, without the Class 3 tax stamp). The tax isn't such a big deal anymore because it hasn't been adjusted for inflation, but it's not as if NFA weapons are unrestricted.

When "machine guns" were restricted by the NFA of 1934, they were defined as any gun that fires more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger. So volley guns require the same ATF approval and $200 tax stamp as true machine guns. And thanks to the 1986 machine gun ban, no new "machine guns" can be registered for individual ownership anymore. For the same reason, double-barrel shotguns cannot have a single trigger that fires both barrels.

Reynaud mistakenly thought this meant the whole cabinet had decided on surrender, and resigned. Which unfortunately made the traitor Petain the new Prime Minister.

When you're flying against Fw 200s, it doesn't really matter if the floats reduce the fighter's performance. It's not as if a 4-engine bomber is going to be able to dogfight with you. And a floatplane seems like an obviously better solution than requiring the pilot to bail out and let his fighter crash into the ocean.

  10063. Trump won the presidency in 2016 and Republicans maintained control in the Senate despite getting significantly fewer votes. For example, in 2018 there were over 17.5 million more votes for Democratic Senate candidates than for Republican ones. But because the Senate is a fundamentally undemocratic institution, this resulted in Republicans actually gaining seats. If we actually had free and fair elections, where every vote was given equal value, Republicans would've been completely trounced in both 2016 and 2018. The reason Republicans hold the power they do is that the electoral system is rigged in their favor.

  10079. The Constitution doesn't actually require that the Speaker of the House actually be a member of the House of Representatives. While there has yet to be a Speaker of the House elected who's not a current Representative, there actually have been individual Representatives who have voted for somebody outside the House during the Speaker elections. Nancy Pelosi therefore remains Speaker of the House until either she resigns from that office or the House votes to replace her. In the scenario of there being no elections held this year, there wouldn't be any Representatives to vote to replace her. Meaning that her term as Speaker would continue even after her term as a Representative ended.

  10085. ATGMs aren't the ideal weapon to shoot a concrete building that the infantry needs destroyed. A tank gun works far better for that. The real question is, why are they using a 105mm gun instead of a 120mm that would be able to use the same XM1147 multipurpose round as the Abrams? That's a superior obstacle-remover to any 105mm high explosive round. Sure, a similar 105mm round can be developed. But the 120mm round already exists and so do low-recoil 120mm smoothbore guns that will work on a light tank.
    1
  10086.  @winstonsyme7672  120mm guns have already been used on tanks and wheeled AFVs that are substantially lighter than this one, such as the Italian Centauro II and the Swedish CV90120 (both about 10 tons lighter than the Griffin II).

  10139.  @WALTERBROADDUS  I would agree that it's not cost-effective to arm coastal fortresses with full-on battleship-style twin or triple turrets. Aside from Fort Drum in Manilla Bay, off hand I can't think of any place where such turrets were built for a fortress. But when you're dealing with turrets that were removed from a decommissioned battleship, the cost of their manufacture was something you already paid decades ago. That makes it much less expensive than would normally be the case. And such a turret is clearly superior to typical coastal mounts that lacked any protection from air attack.

As such, Parliament would likely conclude "we can stick with these for another decade and thus not have to spend on new naval fighters yet". And thus, in early 2000s when it comes time to replace the Hornets, we might see Britain buying Super Hornets. Or Rafales, ironically.

  10259. The ships would've been divvied up among the allies as part of the war reparations, just like what was done with the ships that either were prevented from scuttling (like SMS Baden) or simply weren't among the ships interned at Scapa Flow. Britain wanted the entire High Seas Fleet scrapped. They had no interest in incorporating ships with non-standard equipment and insufficient range for Pacific operations into their fleet, and they weren't keen on the diluting their naval dominance in Europe by letting France and Italy instantly add a bunch of modern battleships into their fleets. But that's exactly what France and Italy were keen on doing. As such, it's unlikely that Britain would've been able to secure an agreement from the rest of the Allies that the ships should be scrapped, and there would've been quite a lot of squabbling over who gets what ships. In particular, everybody would want to get the two Bayern-class battleships, since those are the most modern and powerful ships in the German fleet. In all respects except speed, they were at least as good as the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, and they were plainly superior to the Revenge-class. With ships like HMS Hood, the Colorado-class, and the Nagato-class not yet in service, they could be argued to be the most powerful ships in the world in 1918. In reality, only Baden survived, and the UK claimed her, using her as a gunnery test target after studying her systems. Beyond that the only surviving German capital ships were the Nassau-class and Helgoland-class battleships, all obsolete first-generation dreadnoughts whose only value was as scrap metal. But if the whole German fleet was available to be distributed, there'd be a lot more difficulty in reaching agreement on what constitutes a "fair" distribution of the ships. It seems like there's a good chance that France would be able to get one of the Bayern-class. They'd be able to make some very strong arguments that the should get priority ahead of the US. France had been in the war from the very start and suffered the most casualties of all the western Allies, and three of their own battleships had been sunk by the Imperial German Navy (albeit those were pre-dreadnoughts). As such, France could say it's only fair that they get their losses replaced by German ships. France receiving SMS Bayern would heavily tilt the balance of power in the Mediterranean, and as such Italy would desperately want to receive either SMS Baden. But Britain would obviously have first dibs, so Italy might instead of tried to get their about 3/4 complete sister ship SMS Sachsen. In reality, all of the incomplete capital ships in German shipyards were scrapped after WW1. But if "equal" distribution of the ships to the Allies had become a more pressing concern, that might not have been the case. And Saschen was probably far enough along that she could've been sailed to Italy and completed there. And then the same arguments would've happened regarding the two surviving Derfflinger-class battlecruisers, the next strongest of the completed German warships. Again, France and Italy would be the main ones competing for the ships. The UK, US, and Japan probably wouldn't care all that much about which particular ships they get, because they'd just be turning around and selling them for scrap or sinking them as targets. Though another interesting factor is that there'd be enough battleships (19 of them, 20 if Sachsen is counted) being passed around that Serbia might be able to claim one of the older Kaiser-class.

So for any gun with multiple barrels, unless you want it to be restricted as a machine gun, it has to be either only capable of firing one barrel at a time (as is the case for any single trigger, double-barrel shotguns) or there has to be a separate trigger for each barrel.

  10279.  @cogidubnus1953  Certainly unlikely that Vanguard would've been retained. Even with a much larger fleet carrier around, a battleship was no longer the ideal carrier escort ship. Had the Maltas been built, though, it would've probably been Eagle and Ark Royal that got the axe earlier than in reality on the premise that we've got these bigger and newer once so the Audacious-class are obviously redundant. Whether somewhat newer and dramatically more capable Maltas could've lasted to the 80s? Well Ark Royal in reality almost did, being decommissioned in 1979. So it's possible at least one Malta would've lasted that long. In this alternate timeline, the colossal waste of time and money that was the Victorious rebuild would've never happened (literally her conversion cost would've covered building at least 2 of the Maltas in a postwar angled-deck configuration, yet resulted in a near-useless carrier that could only handle 8 Sea Venoms and 8 Buccaneers), and the wartime carriers plus Eagle, Ark Royal, and the Centaurs would've been discarded sooner than in reality to appease Parliament's desire to turn warships into razor blades. So there's at least some chance Gibraltar and New Zealand could've lasted into the 80s.

They were running the ball up the middle, not pulling trick plays or throwing long bombs. What else should they have done? If they had just stopped playing entirely, that would've been the ultimate display of contempt to the losing team. It's an athletic competition. Sometimes the other team is just better. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you even get your ass handed to you.

  10320. He calls for restricting judicial review. Which means that when Congress or state governments pass laws that infringe on our constitutional rights, there would no longer be any legal recourse to stop them. Also, repealing the 17th Amendment is by definition taking power away from the American people.
    1
  10321. The thing is, if Congress were given the power to override Supreme Court decisions, what is there to stop Congress from just openly defying their Constitutional limits? Suppose they passed a law cancelling elections and giving current members of Congress their positions for life. That's obviously far outside of anything the Constitution allows, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. As we both know, there's a long history of unconstitutional laws. And it doesn't even have to be something so extreme as Congress declaring themselves oligarchs for life. They could also do something like pass a law to confiscate all the guns in America. The point is, if Congress is given the power to override the Supreme Court's rulings, that means Congress gains the power to do literally anything it wants.

  10322. It seems to me that fraud involving such a large amount of money shouldn't have a statute of limitations. But of course, high-dollar fraud is almost inherently going to involve rich people as the perpetrators. So naturally the government isn't going to enact laws that harm rich criminals.

  10326. But is that actually true, or will Kyle just say it doesn't count because Biden is lying about it if he actually does end up supporting one of those positions Kyle demands? Actually, what is Kyle's list of policy priorities? Because if it includes $15 minimum wage or the Green New Deal, Biden already is supporting those.
    1
  10327.  @darrencowley4059  The fact that he wants somebody as manifestly unqualified as Nina Turner for VP speaks volumes. As does the fact that he thinks that's a higher priority than things like a living wage or climate change. Also, the premise that Biden is the worst possible nominee? In a campaign where some of the other choices were Pete Buttigieg and literally Mike Bloomberg that's just a silly stance to be taking. And if you meant that he'd be the weakest general election challenger against Trump, polling has consistently shown the opposite. Biden has almost always polled better vs Trump than any other Democrat, with Bernie doing about 1% worse and everybody else doing significantly worse than either Biden or Bernie. I'm not trying to claim that polling offers any guarantees for November (a poll indicates what would be likely to happen if the election were held now, not what will happen in 6 months). But polls are the only data we have right now.

  10371. The "assault weapon ban" was a ridiculous law that banned guns based solely on how scary they LOOKED to people who don't like guns. It was based on irrelevant features like barrel shrouds and bayonet lugs. Tell me, when was the last time a bayonet was used in the commission of a crime? The assault weapon ban accomplished nothing, and that's why there was so little political support for renewing it. That's why all the attempts to pass a new one never even make it to the floor for a vote.

And that's the real reason Russia is so angry about "NATO expansion": it's put the Baltic states off limits for Russian invasion.

  10452.  @markp.thickou6707  Yes, Afghanistan did attack the US. What do you think 9/11 was? And the US never attacked Korea, the US defended Korea from an invasion. And likewise, the US defended Bosnia from a Serbian invasion ("Yugoslavia" had already ceased to exist). And tell me, when did Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Iran, Yugoslavia, Korea, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, China, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Ukraine attack Russia? Those are all nations that they've invaded in the last 80 years.

  10455.  @robinhood5935  Yes, that's right. Russia should be indifferent to the prospect of Ukraine and Georgia becoming NATO members. Because the only reason that would be a problem to Russia is if Russia wants to be able to invade Georgia and Ukraine whenever they please. Which is of course exactly what Russia wants. And no, contrary to what tankies and vatniks keep claiming, the US would not invade Mexico if Mexico joined a military alliance with China.

  10456.  @TwoBassed  No, that was not part of any "dissolution agreement". Because there never was any "dissolution agreement". NATO has never even recognized the existence of "the Russian sphere of influence". And rightly so, because the very concept of "spheres of influence" is fundamentally evil.

  10499. One point per county would be the exact opposite of "popular vote". Or did it completely escape your notice that counties differ greatly in population? The notion that Kalawao County, Hawaii (population 88) should count the same as Los Angeles County, California (population 10,163,507) is the dumbest idea anyone has ever proposed. It would also allow for states to rig the presidential election by artificially creating hundreds of new counties right before the election, because counties are just arbitrary lines on a map.
    1
  10500.  @dewknow1315  That doesn't change the fact that your moronic idea would give the same vote to 88 people in one county as to 10 million in another county. I'm glad that your vote will never count. Unfortunately, millions of people just as stupid as you do have their votes decide elections.

  10502. Terminology sure as hell does matter when the terminology is what people are responding to. When people hear "assault weapon" they think the proposal is to ban machine guns.

  10520. Saying that Trump almost won is an exaggeration. This was not actually a close election. Biden won this in a near-landslide.

  10570. The XFV-12 was another case of the Navy opting for exotic technology that turned out to not work. If it had instead been the Convair Model 200 that was funded for a prototype to be built, well there would've still been issues (auxiliary lift jets are inherently inefficient since they're dead weight during horizontal flight), at least the Convair 200 would've been able to take off since it relied on conventional, already-proven VTOL principles. And who knows, maybe they would've been able to develop it into a system like the F-35B uses now, where the lift fan is part of the main engine rather than being separate auxiliary jets. P&W started work on that system in 1986, which would've been just a few years after the Convair 200 would've entered service had it been chosen instead of the Rockwell design.

  10582. 00:53:30 The WNT treated the entire British Empire as a single nation, though. Hence HMAS Australia having to be disposed of to meet the treaty limits on capital ship tonnage. Anything built for the Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Australian Navy, etc fell under Britain's tonnage limits. That question seems to have been more about the treaty restricting Britain's building of warships for customers outside the empire. Like the battleships built for Brazil, Chile, Japan before they established the industry to build their own, the Ottoman Empire, etc. Which of course would've been a loophole in its own right that neither the US nor Japan was going to allow (since neither of them had anywhere near as much of an industry in building warships for export). Everybody remembered how when WW1 broke out, the Chilean and Ottoman battleships were promptly taken into the Royal Navy. So if the treaty limits hadn't included ships for export, that would've allowed Britain the possibility of building G3 battlecruisers, N3 battleships, or other blatantly treaty-busting warships for sale to friendly nations like Greece, Chile, etc (with British banks giving loans since those nations blatantly couldn't actually afford to pay upfront for such large ships)...and then at the last minute abrogating the treaty and "buying them back" from the ostensible customers.

Aside from the barrel, it seems like the only other necessary change would've been the extractor, since the .303 rim is 0.76mm smaller.

  10608. Yes. If any of those other parts of Indonesia want to separate, they should absolutely be allowed to do so. The reason only West Papua is getting talking about is that they're the ones that are actually fighting for independence. The rest of the islands seem to be fine with being part of Indonesia.

  10640.  @lukedogwalker  Had Bismarck been captured intact enough to be practical to repair and put back into service, a battleship with completely non-standard equipment would be a bit difficult to bring into operational service. Just the ammunition supply would be a problem, unless the guns and shell hoists turned out to be easily adapted to British ammo of the same caliber. And it would take some time to familiarize a crew with the German machinery. Odds are, the Royal Navy wouldn't consider it worthwhile to bring such a non-standard ship into service and instead she'd be given to one of the other Allies. But as hilarious as giving Bismarck to Poland would've been, the over 2,000 officers and men needed to crew the ship would constitute about 2/3 of the entire Polish Navy in exile. The only nation likely to have both the interest and the manpower to operate her would be the Soviets. Given that prior to Barbarossa they bought an incomplete heavy cruiser from Germany and were attempting to buy 38cm SK C/34 guns and turrets, it's likely the USSR already had the specifications on hand for the ammunition and would've been able to manufacture it. (Though based on their test-firing of a 406mm B-37 gun intended for the Sovetsky Soyuz-class battleships, the quality of large-caliber shells the Soviets could make at the time wasn't very high.) I shudder to think what condition Bismarck would've ended up in after a few years in Soviet hands, given that Royal Sovereign was returned to Britain with her turrets rusted in place.
    1
  10641. @Bjorn the overly, excessively enslaved singaporean Even beyond the knowledge to operate a modern battleship, the Poles also lacked the manpower. The Polish Navy in Britain had about 3,000 officers and men. It would take just over 2,000 of them to operate Bismarck. Meaning that crew would have to be diverted away from their destroyers. Which were desperately needed since Britain had a shortfall of destroyers.

We know that Russian operatives were hacking into voter registration databases. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/01/us/politics/russia-election-hacking.html And what do you think they were doing after they breached those voter registries? We know they attempted to alter the files. And those are the attempts that were actually caught. How many times did they hack in without getting caught and delete registrations of people they considered likely to vote for Clinton?

  10677.  @billybobjoe198  Yes, and? We have 4% of the world's population. We have 24% of the world's COVID deaths. Larger population doesn't explain why we're doing so much worse than the rest of the world. Particularly it doesn't explain why we're doing so much worse than India and China, which each have more than quadruple our population yet significantly fewer COVID deaths. (And yes, I'm aware that China lies about their numbers. Even taking that into account, we're doing far worse than they have.)

Presuming the sister ship would've been laid down about a year or so later than Vanguard, there were five remaining monitors with such turrets: Erebus, Marshal Ney, Marshal Soult, Roberts, and Abercrombie. Alternately, turrets could also have been stripped off one of Revenge-class battleships, which were already rather obsolete in 1941. By the time the second Vanguard would've actually been ready to have turrets installed, Revenge would've already been put into reserve.

  10700. @randomfootballfan2952 No, Ukraine was not the most corrupt nation in Europe. Even if we don't count Russia as being "in Europe", there's still nations like Belarus, Hungary, and Serbia. And with regard to Churchill during WW2? He didn't become PM by election, he became PM because Chamberlain resigned. And Chamberlain had himself also become PM without an election, because Stanley Baldwin resigned. When a new general election was held in 1945 after the war ended, it had been 10 years since the last time Britons had gotten to vote for their MPs. Nobody complained about that; all parties agreed it's just how things are to be done in wartime. And the same was done during World War I, when the Parliament elected in 1910 remained in place for 8 years, new elections having been delayed until immediately after the Armistice.

Humans produce 100 times as much CO2 as volcanoes every year, and volcanic dust blocks sunlight.

  10764.  @lazylady8591  The point is that your touting of the 2015 Nobel Prize is irrelevant. All that matters with regard to Ivermectin as a COVID treatment is if there's any evidence that it works. And that evidence is...lacking to say the least.

  10799. If we didn't have such a weak, cowardly Attorney General, a bunch of the Republican members of Congress would be indicted for their roles in January 6. Granted, their deep-red gerrymandered districts would be able to elect some other right-wingers to fill the seats as soon as special elections could be held. But only if the insurrectionists are willing to actually vacate their seats by resigning. Being arrested does not, after all, automatically result in being kicked out of Congress. Most likely many of them would refuse to resign. Meaning that it would be up to the House to expel them, and who knows if they'd have the votes to do that. In which case the seats would still be held, but since the insurrectionists would be in jail awaiting trial and proxy voting has been abolished, they'd be unable to participate in Congress. Which would mean Democrats would have a majority of the members actually present on the House floor. Hakeem Jeffries could become Speaker, and Democrats could start passing stuff to actually benefit the American people. And since there would be some Senators also getting arrested for their roles in January 6, Democrats would at least temporarily be able to get stuff done without needing the approval of Manchin or Sinema. If they had the balls, they could quickly hold votes to abolish the filibuster and then reinstate the Voting Rights Act, grant statehood to Puerto Rico and DC, ban gerrymandering, add seats to the Supreme Court, etc. (Also, there's the reform that nobody seems to talk about but which would do a lot to make our government more democratic: significantly expand the size of the House. It's been locked at 435 members for over a century, during which time the US population has more than tripled. If the House had grown in size in proportion to that increased population, it would make gerrymandering far more difficult since there'd be physically less room for each district. And even more importantly, it would make it nearly impossible for anybody to win the electoral college while losing the popular vote, because the disproportionate power that tiny rural states have in the electoral college would be diluted.) Unfortunately, this is all a fantasy because Merrick Garland demonstrably does not have the balls to actually do his job and prosecute the insurrection caucus. If he did, all of this could've happened 1-2 years ago, and without the ability to gerrymander (plus DC getting a House seat and PR getting 4), it's unlikely that Republicans would've been able to gain a House majority in the midterms at all.

Arguing that the natural born citizen requirement was superseded by the 14th Amendment, an argument that the courts had already rejected when a previous vanity candidate had attempted it. There's a valid argument to be made that we shouldn't ban immigrants from becoming President, but personally I'm very thankful that it means Elon Musk can never do so.

  10928.  @aa-kr6fy  Translation: there is no history of Trump being anti-war. For example, back in 2016 he claimed that he'd been against the Iraq War. It was quickly exposed that he was lying, with video footage of him in 2002 saying he thought it would be a great idea to invade Iraq.

  10936. This is a conflation of entirely different programs. The problem with Bush was "rendition" that sent prisoners TO other countries to be tortured. Kidnapping terrorism suspects abroad and bringing them to the US for trial is not unacceptable at all. That's what we did under Clinton as well. Without such a program, all a terrorist would need to do is go to a place like Pakistan, and they'd never be extradited.

What got changed was the mention of al-Qaeda being behind it, because that was based on classified info that wasn't for public consumption. BTW, Cenk, your very first report on the attack DID refer to it as being a violent protest without acknowledging any terrorist connection. You initially DID assume it was just an extension of the protest/riot in Cairo. I remember that quite clearly.

  10946.  @eddietorres1000  Having better acceleration isn't the same thing as being a better fighter. There's a ton of other factors involved. In every aspect except acceleration, the F-14 was better. That includes top speed; the MiG-23 would get to its top speed faster, but the F-14 would still outrun it in the end. Besides, the F-14A was notorious for having underpowered engines. The F-14B and D models, which replaced the TF30 engines with F110s, had dramatically better acceleration since the thrust-to-weight ratio was improved by around 50%.

But not liking him doesn't mean they rigged the primaries against him. The DNC doesn't even have the power to rig the primaries, because those primaries are conducted by state governments.

  10964. The baffling part is that most of these Republican Senators aren't up for reelection until either 2024 or 2026. If they would vote for conviction, they would guarantee that Trump is a non-factor by that point. And with him gone from social media, even most of the outright cultists will have moved on and found other racists to worship by the time these clowns have to worry about reelection. So they've got nothing to gain by continuing to support Trump, and plenty to gain by convicting him. But they're too fucking cowardly to do it.

  10965. @nra82 No, every state except Illinois allows concealed carry. That much is true. But the requirements to get a concealed carry license vary greatly.

  10974. BTW, Cenk, gun manufacturers make NO money from the private sales that have no background check. Private gun sales are, by their nature, of USED guns. The manufacturer only makes money on the original sale. In fact, gun manufacturers might profit MORE from universal background checks, due to a slight increase in new gun sales. Also, the claim that 40% of gun sales are private sales with no background check is inaccurate. It comes from a single 15-year-old survey answered by a mere 251 people.

  10977.  @blackenedmagic888  And every time there was this supposed trend away from manned aircraft, anybody who was paying attention should've been able to know better. Duncan Sandys predicated his cancellation of most manned aircraft (and defensive SAMs as well) on the premise that ballistic missiles would replace manned strategic bombers and that they would be impossible to defend against, so there would soon be no reason to bother with defensive weapons. And yet the Soviets were very blatantly not phasing out manned bombers, and instead were continuing to build them in large numbers. They clearly intended that in the event of war with NATO, they'd be launching mass bomber strikes that would absolutely need interceptors and SAMs to stop.

  10989.  @Independent97  Those maps you've seen of Russia supposedly "surrounded" by US military bases include a lot of fake "bases". Also, maybe Russia should give some thought about why all those nations in Eastern Europe want to join NATO. Hint: it's because Russia refuses to peacefully coexist. Russia thinks they're entitled to dominate those nations, so naturally they all moved to join an alliance powerful enough that Russia wouldn't dare mess with them anymore.

  11037. Support for the "assault weapon ban" is based purely on ignorance. Thanks in large part to deceptive reporting, people think that the 1994 ban covered full-auto machine guns. In actuality, civilian ownership of full-auto weapons has been heavily restricted since 1934, and the sale of any NEW full-auto weapons to civilians was outright banned in 1986. But since most people don't realize this fact, they think machine guns are easy to buy, and thus favor an "assault weapon ban".

  11058. I would think the question is less whether the P90 and MP7 are 3rd generation or 4th generation SMGs. The actual question is whether they qualify as SMGs at all. A defining trait of an SMG that they fire a pistol cartridge. It's not simply that they aren't chambered for 9mm Parabellum. 3rd gen SMGs have also been made in .45 ACP and 10mm Auto, and nobody suggested that created a new generation. The difference is that the P90 and MP7 don't fire a pistol cartridge at all. I mean, nobody would call the M2 Carbine an SMG, because .30 Carbine isn't pistol caliber. Neither are 5.7x28mm and 4.6x30mm. They're rifle cartridges, scaled down to a smaller size for use in small, ultra-high-capacity rifles. There is no pistol that fires 4.6x30mm, and pistols firing 5.7x28mm didn't come until years after after P90. The existence of pistols firing a rifle cartridge doesn't turn it into a pistol cartridge (otherwise the M4 Carbine would count as an SMG). Also, calling the P90 an F2000 scaled down to SMG size is simply ridiculous. Since the P90 predates the F2000 by a decade.

  11062. I mean in theory, that could certainly be done. It's all a matter of how much time, effort, and money you're willing to put into an old ship. Arkansas was similar in age, size, and armament to the Italian Conte di Cavour and Caio Duilio classes, and only 1 knot slower than them. And in the 1930s, the Italians rebuild those ships to be capable of 27 knots, and upgraded their guns from 305mm to 320mm. But for the US, such a rebuild would never have been worthwhile. The Cavour and Duilio classes were the only battleships Italy had from 1928 until 1940, so doing a massive refit to increase their capabilities as a stopgap until the Littorio-class battleships could be built made some sense. Whereas in the 1930s US Navy, Arkansas was the oldest and least capable out of 15 operational battleships, so it would've been seen as a waste to do any major refit.

That gives you a Garand that's a pound lighter, is lighter-recoiling, and has a 10-round rather than 8-round clip. 0:48:10 The thing about Henry Ford (completely separate from him being a terrible person) is that after he revolutionized the auto industry, it wasn't long before he completely failed to grasp that the industry was being revolutionized again and leaving him behind. He basically had to be dragged kicking and screaming into selling anything other than the Model T, long after it was obsolete.

  11241. The "gun show loophole" has nothing to do with gun shows, it's a matter of a non-dealer being allowed to sell a gun face-to-face to another non-dealer without having to do a background check. It can be at a gun show, or just arranging a meeting anywhere (as long as state lines aren't crossed by either the buyer or seller). But for machine guns, it's different. They can ONLY be sold through a licensed dealer, no matter what. And they require a much more stringent background check than other guns.

And if they'd waited for 1 more year to invade, they probably would've gotten away with it. Because by 1983, HMS Hermes would've been out of service and HMS Invincible would've become HMAS Australia.

  11257.  @jarink1  Which ships get preserved as museums also has more to do with luck and timing than with the historical significance of the individual ships. For example, HMS Belfast ended up as a museum ship because she simply lasted the longest of the British WW2 cruisers. As the physically largest of the wartime cruisers, she had more room for upgraded with modern radars and fire control systems, and being much newer than the similarly-sized County class heavy cruisers she stayed in service all the way to 1963. This meant she had gotten the most recent refit by the time the Imperial War Museum decided in 1967 that they wanted to preserve a cruiser, and was in far better condition than any other wartime cruiser they could've chosen from.

  11279. My thought is that the salvage of Leonardo da Vinci with an eye toward restoring her to service was a very expensive operation, and the money turned out to be entirely wasted since she was scrapped anyway. If Italy had deemed the recovery of a capsized battleship a lost cause and just raised her upside down for scrapping, that might have been enough to complete Caracciolo. As for guns, I suppose if swapping out guns with the Army to get all 9 Ansaldos in Navy hands wasn't possible, you'd have to either make some additional guns or settle for having both forward turrets having guns from a given manufacturer and the same for both aft turrets. The torpedo protection and deck armor would likely be improved in the 1930s as with the Cavour and Duilio classes. Since Caracciolo is already fast, the rebuild wouldn't need to be anywhere near as extensive (or expensive).

  11281. Everything you said is wrong. Ukraine did not in any way violate the Minsk agreements. Russia did. The claim of a "genocidal civil war against the Russian Ukrainian minority" is a completely bonkers lie. There never was a civil war. The "rebels" in Donbas were a Russian front group from the very start, with the majority of their fighters being the Russian Army (with insignia removed, as the infamous "little green men") and Wagner Group. The only country attempting genocide in Ukraine is Russia. Their goal is to exterminate the Ukrainian people. There was no "Russian Cossack state". The Ukrainian Cossack state was betrayed and annexed by Catherine the Great. Russia conquered and colonized Ukraine, and that's what they're trying to do again. Kharkiv and Odesa are not and will never be Russian cities, and it's not remotely conceivable that Russia will capture them. And the claim of Ukraine losing "over 100,000 men" is laughable Kremlin propaganda.

  11283. If you actually look at the polls, most of them show Biden beating Trump by a larger margin than Bernie does. The difference is only about 1 point, but it's still there. The only exception is that Emerson poll from a month ago, which shows Biden losing and Bernie barely winning. But that poll was absolute trash. It had a a sample where Republicans outnumbered Democrats by a wide margin, and the majority of respondents said they had voted for Trump in 2016. In other words, the opposite of the actual composition of the electorate. So if you believe the polls, they currently don't support the premise that Bernie is the stronger candidate. That said, the value of these polls is limited anyway, even if they're 100% accurate. Polls can only predict how people would vote if the election were held right now. They can't predict anything about the ways Biden might fuck up between now and November.

  11287. Had even just the initial pair of the carriers been built, there never would've been a Falklands War. Argentina would've never dared to pick a fight with a Royal Navy that powerful.

Just held out with the Phantoms into the 90s and replaced it with a "Sea Typhoon"?

  11290.  @aalvarez2914  No, the truth is that Trump got on his knees for North Korea. It's not that no previous President "dared" to go to North Korea, it's that no other President was stupid enough to validate the North Korean dictator that way. And North Korea never did stop launching missiles over Japan. Nor did they stop nuclear testing like Trump claimed they had agreed to do. And Trump was absolutely not a "targeted strike response" guy. He was an "indiscriminate murder" kind of guy. He did more drone strikes than Bush and Obama combined. He removed even the barest pretense of trying to avoid collateral damage in the strikes, because he wanted to maximize civilian death tolls.

  11302. So the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to modern technology, because the founding fathers could never have imagined modern weaponry. But the 1st Amendment DOES apply to modern technology. Sure, that makes perfect sense. The reality is that claiming EITHER amendment only refers to the technology that existed in the 1780s is a moronic argument. And so is claiming that "well regulated militia" is the key phrase of the 2nd Amendment rather than "the right of the people" or "shall not be infringed".

  11303. Gen 3 still has a variety of cartridges, even though 9mm is predominant. SMGs are still made in .45 ACP, and a some are chambered for newer cartridges 10mm Auto or .40 S&W. What makes the MP7 and P90 different from that is that their cartridges aren't "pistol caliber" at all. No pistol exists that fires 4.6x30mm, and it was a decade after the P90's debut when a 5.7x28mm pistol was first made. That's why I'd say those two aren't Gen 4 SMGs, because they're not SMGs at all.

Obviously the money they'll spend on the lawsuit will be chump change by their standards, but it's not as if they'll gain anything from it. On the other hand, hopefully Fox will be forced to spend a lot on defending against the frivolous lawsuit.

  11333. It's not about the skin color of the crowds Romney's speaking to. Or the ones Obama's speaking to. It's about what they SAY. Romney says racist things, Obama doesn't. And the GOP's war on women IS happening. There's a nonstop assault on women's rights going on.

  11334. Simply repeating your claim that CO2 has been static doesn't make it so. Nor does spewing the lie that there's been cooling for the last 10 years. Global CO2 levels have steadily increased over the last 200 years, and the last decade has seen a clear warming trend, just like the previous decade did. And the decade before that.

  11339.  @jackdenihan5333  I was just thinking about how when the arms embargo blocked Mirage 5 sales to Israel, Dassault slipped the blueprints to IAI to help them make the Nesher. And according to some rumors even smuggled the component parts into Israel to be assembled there.

  11350. Jeffrey Sachs is a moronic kook. He's consistently wrong about everything, and consistently lies about everything. There was never any promise not to "expand" NATO. And Russia's claim to be the legal successor state of the Soviet Union is also completely fraudulent.

  11357.  @boereherp8705  Yes, we know why Russia invaded Ukraine. Because Russia wants to steal Ukraine's resources.

  11358. Trump is certainly trying to be a dictator. For example, his declaration of a completely fake "national emergency" for the purpose of enacting a political policy even though Congress rejected it. That's a dictatorial action. Also, Maduro's election in 2018 was at least as legitimate as Trump's election in 2016.

  11377. @lgarvey1979 The newsletters were not only published in Ron Paul's name, they were also written as if they were from Ron Paul's point of view. They refer in the first person to Paul's career, both as a doctor and a Congressman. For example, the newsletter that refers to MLK Jr Day as "Hate Whitey Day" also refers to having voted against making it a holiday. Which Ron Paul's voting record shows that he did do.

  11389.  slothkingn1  There's things other than the presidential primary being voted on. More important things, given that the presidential nominations have already been decided. But the sole reason the WI primary hasn't been delayed is that the Republican-run state legislature blocked it from happening. The Dem governor has been pushing for the last 2 weeks to delay it. Republicans said no.

  11390. Yes, because the "entire state" is a chain of islands in the middle of the Pacific. A bunch of islands can't write a letter. The Hawaii Department of Health, which is responsible for all Hawaiian birth certificates, has verified Obama was born there and that his birth certificate is valid.

  11402. Given that Trump's presidency has shown the US will never be a reliable ally again (even after he's gone, there's still the fact that American voters have demonstrated they're stupid enough to elect somebody like him), all of the European nations clearly need to build up their militaries.

    1
  11436.  @N0rdman  So did they ever draw those designs up, or just write out what the specs needed to be? Also, is there any info on what sort of 9.2-inch gun would've been used? No gun of that caliber was in production in 1938, so would they have just used some of the over 100 WW1-surplus Mk X rifles (actually very good guns with an excellent AP shell), or would a new gun have designed and built?
    1
  11437.  @N0rdman  Britain kept a hundred of so of the 9.2"/47 guns since many of them were already in coastal artillery during WW1 and some of the naval guns from scrapped armoured cruisers also got transferred. Some of those are still around today, including 3 at Gibraltar, a dozen at forts in South Africa, 3 in Australia, 4 in Portugal, and a 4th of the Gibraltar guns on display at Imperial War Museum Duxford . And of course the 4 very similar 9.2"/45 guns mounted on the Greek cruiser Averof. It was the even better 9.2"/50 guns that all foolishly got scrapped. Along with the 9.2"/51 guns from the Gorgon-class monitors. Given the ridiculously long range of the 9.2"/51, I bet the Brits were kicking themselves when they realized they needed cross-channel guns to install at Dover.

  11447. The rape allegations against Assange seem pretty blatantly trumped up. Especially suspicious is the fact that the police apparently waited for the the two accusers to get together and coordinate their stories before interviewing them. In honest police work, that would be the last thing you'd want. You want to hear from the witnesses separately, so as to pick out any inconsistencies in what they're telling you.

  11479. Greenland is likely to declare independence within the next few years. But they're not going to downgrade themselves afterward by becoming a US territory. And no, statehood is not going to happen. 2 Senators and 1 Representative for 56,000 people (less population than the average small town in the US) is comical. Especially since the US has been refusing to grant statehood to Puerto Rico (with a population of over 3 million, larger than 18 states) despite the majority of the PR population demanding it for decades now. If annexed by the US, Greenland would be a mere territory, and thus be governed completely at the whims of DC. And that's precisely why they'll never agree to it. They don't want to trade one foreign master for another, even more remote and unresponsible foreign master.

All of these things are completely false.

  11502.  @juststunts2  The United Kingdom would quite literally cease to exist if Brexit had just been pushed through immediately without establishing any deals with Europe to maintain access to the market and to maintain the open Irish border. Unionism is already in decline in Northern Ireland. It remains the plurality position (for now), but no longer the majority. A "hard" or "no-deal" Brexit resulting in a closed border would almost certainly push the fence-sitters into the Irish nationalist camp. Brexit is also enormously unpopular in Scotland. Once Brexit goes through, and especially if it's a no-deal Brexit, that's going to bolster the Scottish independence movement. Now, Northern Ireland and Scotland could very well still end up leaving the UK. But if Brexit had just been rushed through 3 years ago immediately after the referendum, there's a good chance they would've already left.

  11521. The narrative being put forth is that this is the first time anybody has gotten an outright majority in the Iowa caucuses. Which makes it sound like a "historic win" like it's being hyped up to be. But that "first time" comes with a huge asterisk: it excludes all the times that an incumbent President won the Iowa caucuses, because every time a President has run for reelection they've won the Iowa caucuses by a very large majority. And Trump is for all intents and purposes running as an incumbent. This is the first time an ex-President has ever run in the Iowa caucuses (the Iowa caucuses didn't exist yet when Grover Cleveland ran for a non-consecutive second term in 1892). Polling of Iowa Republican caucus-goers showed that about 2/3 of think that Trump is the incumbent (ie that he won the 2020 election). Given all of that, Trump's 51% of the vote should be seen as a sign of massive weakness. The same as it would be if Biden were to only barely get a majority among Iowa Democrats. Imagine how the media would portray that: if Marianne Williamson got 19% of the vote, Dean Phillips got 21%, and Biden got 51%.

  11530.  @Davidletter3  Yes, it almost certainly would have. IIRC, there was even a proposal/design study to do exactly that with Nelson in 1946. But of course, postwar Britain's nonexistent budget made that impossible. What would've been really interesting, though, is if Nelson and Rodney had instead been built to the F3 battlecruiser design. Small guns (firing the same shells as the 15"/42 but out of a 15"/50 barrel...which given the excessively lightweight shell of the British 16"/45 guns means it wouldn't actually be that much of a reduction in firepower), 1" thinner belt and deck armor, but a design top speed of 29 knots. I've long been of the opinion that the Royal Navy would've gotten a lot more utility out of that design, since you'd still have good firepower and protection without introducing the logistical nightmare of a new caliber that only 2 ships in the entire fleet can use, and they'd be able to keep pace with Hood and later the KGV class fast battleships. (Hood might also have had time to get that much-needed 1930s refit had Nelson and Rodney been built as battlecruisers and thus equally capable of speeding around to any corner of the empire to show the flag.) And I wonder how much beyond their design speed they could've been forced.

When you razee an old 3rd-rate, the cost of building its hull and rigging was already paid a few decades ago, and you're extending its useful life by turning it into a good modern frigate. Build a brand-new frigate to the same standards, and you're building a frigate that's just about as expensive as a brand-new 3rd-rate would've been. So it'd be more economical to build that 3rd-rate and then razee it into a frigate later, after it's served in your battle line for a while.

If those 2 years had been spent instead navalizing the F.5/34 and converting the Gladiator production line to build it, the Fleet Air Arm could've had a modern monoplane fighter going into WW2 instead of a fixed landing gear biplane.

    1
  11646.  @UseZapCannon  Do you assume that it's impossible for somebody to falsely claim they were raped? It's not a matter of credentials. Reade simply comes off as a liar. She completely changed her story just this month, yet claims she's told the same story all along.

  11655.  @romokid64  What are you talking about, "their own private server rooms"? And there were no "hidden suitcases of empty ballots", nor did we see anybody "filling out" the ballots on camera. You're simply lying about that the video footage shows.
    1
  11656. @Wazzabi A In reality, dictatorship is what the right seeks. That's why you guys wanted Trump to be installed to a second term even though he lost the election. That would've been the very definition of dictatorship. Also, the fact that you think Nazi and Communist are synonyms just shows your complete ignorance. Nor does banning people from Twitter or firing them from their jobs have anything to do with Nazis or Communists. Well aside form the fact that most of the people getting banned recently are Nazis. And yes, lockdowns absolutely are constitutional and not a misuse of authority.
    1
  11657.  @romokid64  What you're talking about is complete fiction. No such servers were ever "raided". That was a story that Louie Gohmert (a well-known conspiracy theorist) made up. The assertion that votes were counted after the poll watchers left is another lie. And the people making those claims about "jamming the systems" with too many ballots, "hidden ballots", etc? Those aren't "pollsters" at all, they're just Trump-loving kooks who made it all up. Literally nothing you're posting is true. You seem to think that if you repeat the lie often enough that'll convice everybody.

  11660. A simple tax code isn't automatically a good thing. It depends on how it's simplified. Lower rates and a broadened base are an innately BAD thing, and sure as hell would not increase economic growth. Also, given that Ryan's plan (even if you accept his unrealistic growth estimates) would take over 30 years to balance the budget, which is longer than Obama's plan would take, your complaints about what Obama's plan would add to the debt are just plain silly.

  11667.  @barb2576  I'm at a loss as to where you got the idea that a pole shift is causing ice to melt. There's literally no physical mechanism by which such a thing could happen. A pole shift does not generate any heat. And heat is what causes ice to melt.

There was a single Royal Navy ship (HMS Delhi in her AA cruiser conversion) that used the 5"/38 in 5 single turrets, and so did some of the American-made CVEs that Britain operated. But otherwise they stuck with their domestic weapons. The 4.5"/45 was also a rather good dual-purpose gun in its own right, remaining the Royal Navy standard until the 1970s.

    1
  11728.  @Justinsox39  The idea that "nobody makes money" off Ivermectin is a farce. The fact that the drug itself is cheap doesn't mean the people who tout it aren't making money. Plenty of doctors charge their patients big bucks to write a prescription for that cheap drug. That includes the likes of Pierre Kory and Paul Marik, the top advocates of its use for COVID. Also, no, not all of the studies are fake. Many of the studies are merely not competently designed or carried out. Others have such tiny sample sizes as to be meaningless. But the biggest studies claiming Ivermectin cures COVID have indeed been fraudulent.

  11740.  @Threetails  That's because conservatives think Section 230 is the exact opposite of what it actually is. They think the completely imaginary "censorship" that conservatives supposedly face on social media is allowed by Section 230. In reality, repeal of Section 230 is going to guarantee a lot more political (and particularly conservative) content get "censored" to avoid social media sites getting sued for defamation.

  11746. The L3/35 was meant for infantry support particularly in Italian Alps, where true tanks (even light tanks) were too big to go. The problem is that Italy wasn't fighting a defensive war against invaders coming through the Alps, so they used their tankette for roles it was completely unsuited to. Tankettes are extremely limited vehicles to begin with, so trying to use them as they're actual tanks was never going to work out.

  11754.  E Fox  So are you seriously trying to claim that any old staffer would have access to the servers?
    1
  11755.  E Fox  You don't seem to grasp the essential factor here: Assange is a liar. When a known liar says something, the most logical conclusion is that they're lying. And Rich's job was developing an app to help new voters register and find find polling stations. Why would that give him access to the email servers?

  11789.  @delasee1383  And the "Great Compromise" was in fact a great mistake. It would've been better to have Congress determined solely on the basis of population. If the smaller states wouldn't have agreed to that, then the US should've just been formed without them. The smaller states could be left to try and survive on their own. And they wouldn't have been able to survive on their own, so they would've eventually come crawling back.

  11792. What Trump's doing every day is lying to the American people. He's claiming that miracle cures will end the crisis, when those cures don't actually exist. He claims the federal govt is providing all the equipment that medical workers and hospitals need to deal with the crisis, but nothing of the sort has actually happened. If this is his best, that proves he should be voted out of office. He is terrible, even if you're unable to see it through all of his lies.

  11805.  @Jan_Smuga  First, I'd skip out on the French experiment and buy British from the start. Yes, France was Poland's closest ally at the time, but the whole idea was to make up for the Polish Navy's inevitable small size by having ships that are individually superior to what other navies are fielding. Even if Wicher and Burza had been built by one of the more experienced shipyards in France, they ultimately would've just been minor upgrades of the Bourrasque-class design. In 1926, various British yards could've better destroyers. I know this because British yards did during that same time build better destroyers, such as the Mendoza-class for Argentina and the Churruca-class for Spain. Or, if political considerations required buying French, I'd insist on using the Chacal-class large destroyer instead of the Bourrasque-class as the basis for them. At least that way I'd be getting destroyers that are fast and have an extra gun. (Though the above-mentioned British designs have similar firepower and speed on a smaller hull. But at least the big hull should leave plenty of room for future upgrades.) Second, I'd go all-in on Operation Peking. Leaving Wicher and Gryf behind ultimately accomplished nothing of note other than losing a pair of ships that could've been useful going forward.

  11810. Why is that Britain no longer has an empire. They do need a larger navy than they have now, but not all that much larger. 50% more destroyers and frigates and twice as many submarines would seem appropriate. A third aircraft carrier would be nice, but probably too expensive.

Withdrawing from the Paris Accord didn't save a cent, and just contributes to our eventual extinction. Withdrawal from the Iran deal removes all obstacles from Iran nuclearizing. Trump's border stunt did nothing aside from waste money and prevent soldiers from spending Thanksgiving with their families. Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem was an idiotic move.

  11838. The US and Canadian dollars have been roughly the same in value since 2007.

For most of its history, the Canadian dollar's value has been within less than 10 cents of the US dollar's. And what's driven the Canadian dollar's rise in value over the last decade is that Canada exports a lot of oil, not that they print less money than the US does.

That was worse than useless to the Midway battle plan, it was actively detrimental. The whole idea was to lure the main American fleet into a decisive battle, so why would you want to divert some of them away? So all the Aleutians campaign did was make Midway an evenly-matched battle instead of bringing the extra aircraft of Ryuujou and Jun'you to Midway. Even given the overly-rigid IJN doctrine wouldn't allow sending Zuikaku in with a composite air group, they should've gone into Midway with a strong numerical advantage, and they didn't.

  11877.  @briancarno8837  The Russian Air Force holding off to avoid excessive losses by definition means that they don't have air superiority over Ukraine. Air superiority means you own the skies over the battlefield, and there's nothing the enemy can do about it. That's decidedly not the situation Russia is in. The skies over Ukraine remain contested. And Ukraine "running out" of anti-aircraft missiles isn't going to save Russia, because the US has already started supplying better missiles than the ones Ukraine has been expending so far. Ukraine's new Patriot batteries have now proven that Russia's "invincible" Kinzhal hypersonic missiles can in fact be shot down, with what's not even the newest version of Patriot.

  11914. Regarding Scott choosing San Francisco as his flagship on the basis that the most powerful ship in a squadron should be the flagship. Was San Francisco really a more powerful ship than Helena? I would suggest that she was not. While the 8-inch shells were individually harder-hitting than 6-inch, even if we assume the lowest practical rate of fire for Helena and the highest for San Francisco (8 RPM and 4 RPM, respectively), we end up with Helena putting a a good 2/3 more weight of shot out per minute. And the weight of broadside wasn't that much lighter than San Francisco's, with 15x 6-inch AP shells having 88% of the explosive mass of 9x 8-inchers. Helena additionally had a far superior secondary battery, being armed with 5"/38s instead of 5"/25s, and a slightly better protection scheme. Had I been in Scott's case, I would've taken Helena as my flagship and been fully confident that I was sailing in the most powerful ship of Task Force 64.

The democratically elected government was never overthrown. I suppose as an American you don't have much concept of how a foreign government is structured, but in Ukraine the government is the Verkhovna Rada (the parliament), not the presidency. And there was no "civil war" either. There was a Russian invasion, and the "rebels" in Donbas are actaully just Russian Army and Spetsnaz with their uniforms removed.

  11931.  @PerceivedREALITY999  You "know" lots of things that weren't actually true. You're just copy-pasting the same argument that I already refuted.

Russia created this entire conflict, as a means of seizing territory from Ukraine. There "efforts to establish a peaceful resolution" were a farce.

  11960. Even with the "don't buy foreign" bias that pervades US weapons procurement and is only rarely overcome, the Convair Model 200 (which unlike Rockwell's design didn't get a prototype ordered) seems like it would've been a more promising option. It's the origin of the swivel nozzle system on the F-35B, but with a separate auxiliary lift engine behind the cockpit like in the Yak-141. This has the obvious downside that the lift engine is dead weight when in horizontal flight, it has the significant benefit of actually working. Presuming that the engines would've actually produced the specified thrust (which admittedly has been the downfall of some previous aircraft), the Convair 200 should've been able to actually get off the ground and then fly at supersonic speed exactly as Zumwalt wanted. Convair was also proposing a Model 201 version that deletes the lift jets for use on regular CATOBAR carriers as a lightweight fighter. Though for that role, I think the Navy probably got a better outcome with the F/A-18, with its higher payload than the 201 would've been able to carry.

  11978. Regarding Vanguard in World of Warships, I'm 90% sure that the reason she wasn't the Tier 8 tech tree ship instead of Monarch is that they were in a rush to get the Royal Navy BB line out and avoid having a protracted development cycle like the Royal Navy CLs. Originally the plan for Nelson at Tier 7 and King George V at Tier 8. When they decided rather late in the process that KGV needed to be Tier 7, Wargaming simply copy-pasted Nelson's turrets onto a KGV hull, changed the guns in those turrets from 406mm to 381mm, and called it Monarch. Designing a whole new hull from scratch would've taken a lot more time, and thus Vanguard was delayed until much later as a premium.

  12083.  @cristinabutasimon9159  No, I did not "forget" any of that. It's simply not true. There were not 14,000 Russians killed in Donbas. That was the total death toll on both sides of the conflict from 2014-2022. You're literally counting the Ukrainian soldiers who died fighting Russian invaders as "Russians killed by Ukraine". Along with claiming that everyone killed in Donbas were Russians, even though only 1/3 of the population there is ethnically Russian. What you described as a "constant advance eastward" was a matter of nations that had previously been enslaved by Russia begging for membership in NATO, so that they would be protected against future Russian aggression. And contrary to Putin's frequent claims, NATO had never in any way promised not to admit new members from Eastern Europe. NATO "invited Ukraine" in the sense that all European nations are invited to apply for membership in NATO. Once such an application is made, a new member can only join by unanimous consent of the current members. It turns out that Ukraine's government in 2008 was foolish to not submit an application, because if Ukraine had already been a NATO member, it would've been impossible for Russia to invade them in 2014. Nobody was ever even contemplating putting missiles in Ukraine to aim at Russia. The Cuban Missile Crisis comparisons are completely nonsensical. Also, you might have forgotten this, but the US didn't invade Cuba in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Cuba remained a Soviet ally afterward. And Cuba's Cienfuegos naval base even continued to host nuclear-armed Soviet Navy warships afterward.

  12100.  @knightalexius593  That's because the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had conquered Kyivan Rus after the latter's decline in power. And then later Russia came in and seized much of that territory from Poland (the infamous partitions of Poland). As for the the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, it was not created out of nothing. It came about after the Bolsheviks invaded and conquered the Ukrainian People's Republic, which had declared independence from Russia after the February Revolution overthrew the Tsar. Contrary to Putin's narrative, Lenin did not grant territory to Ukraine, but took it away. The Ukrainian People's Republic before its conquest by Bolshevik Russia was significantly larger than modern Ukraine. For example, not only did it include Crimea, but also Krasnodar Krai and the Rostov, Belgorod, and Kursk Oblasts, and what's now Transnistria and southern Belarus.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a debt ceiling is something comparable to a credit limit for an individual. It's actually the opposite. It's a declaration that once the debt reaches that limit, the United States will just stop paying its bills. And that is why the debt limit always gets raised, and it's an incredibly stupid thing to have in the first place.

If Fox is allowed to host Democratic primary debates, they'll use that platform to smear all of the Democratic candidates.

Q&A: Given Japan's willingness to blatantly cheat at every turn on their treaty limitations, when Amagi was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake, why didn't they just built a new aircraft carrier from scratch (at the larger 33,000 ton limit for conversions), call it Amagi, and insist that it was a conversion of the battlecruiser hull?

  12179. With regard to cannibalizing pre-dreadnoughts to built speed up the construction of 1st-generation dreadnoughts...that's more viable for other nations besides the UK. The US Navy, for example, had a total of 8 pre-dreadnoughts that used the same 12"/45 twin turrets as the South Carolina, Delaware, and Florida classes. And the Mississippi-class despite being the newest of America's pre-dreadnoughts were quite bad ships due to being seriously undersized, so stealing their turrets to build a 3rd South Carolina (or perhaps also stealing their 9" belt armor and making a battlecruiser version of the South Carolinas, to help with the US Navy's critical shortage of any real scouting force) seems like it could've been a good idea. Similarly, when Japan was building the Satsuma-class as semi-dreadnoughts because of their shortage of 12"/45 guns, there were a total of 4 armored cruisers and 3 pre-dreadnoughts either in service or under construction that each had a pair of 12"/45 twin turrets of their own. It seems to be that at the very least Aki (Satsuma's turbine-powered sister ship) should've been built as a proper dreadnought by cancelling Mikasa's upgrade to 12"/45s and delaying the armored cruiser Kurama in the same way that the British did with Lord Nelson and Agamemnon.

  12185. 6:58 And that was why the NRA was founded. Many Union generals were appalled by the poor marksmanship of the average soldier, and concluded that it was because so many American men had never fired a rifle prior to enlistment/conscription. The NRA's original purpose was to train civilians in rifle shooting, so if another war broke out there would be a more skilled pool of soldiers. Originally, the NRA didn't particularly care about gun ownership in general, but just rifles (hence their name). Because rifles are what a soldier needs to know how to use. 15:19 And the British commander who could actually be blamed for the loss of PQ-17 was Sir Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord. He was the one who gave the order that led to the convoy's destruction. But Pound can't really be fully blamed for his mistake; he was dead a year later from an undiagnosed brain tumor, which almost certainly was impairing his judgement. 22:52 Funny how there's literally nothing more unpatriotic than the Confederacy.

  12236. For the record, Lift Every Voice and Sing was first promoted as the "negro national anthem" by the NAACP in 1917. While the Star-Spangled Banner was adopted as the national anthem in 1931. So we had a "black national anthem" for 14 years before the US actually had an official national anthem.

  12272.  @bigfanofaiu5399  Yes, nobody paid 90% of their income in taxes, because that's not how income tax brackets work. Only income past a certain threshold would be taxed at the 90% rate, and everything else would be taxed at lower rates. Guess what. Nobody pays 37% of their income in taxes today, even though that's the top bracket's tax rate. If the 1%-ers were paying an effective tax rate of around 40% today, that would be significantly more than they currently pay.

  12283.  @donrainesoh  What's sad is that you morons think you can absolve Trump of blame for his failures by just pretending the POTUS isn't important. And no, the US is not like the EU. The US is single nation, not a mere alliance of 50 separate states. The EU on the other hand is an alliance of 27 separate nations.
    1
  12284.  @winterszhuzhupets2  That's the exact opposite of reality. Swine flu had a vastly lower death rate than COVID-19. The CDC estimates that America had 60.8 million infections from H1N1 swine flu in 2009, and 12,469 deaths. That's a 0.02% mortality rate, which is not only vastly lower than COVID, it's lower than the regular seasonal flu (which has a mortality rate of around 0.1%). Those are the estimated numbers, which could quite possibly have been a significant overestimate. The confirmed numbers for swine flu are 115,318 Americans infected and 3,433 killed. That gives a similarly low mortality rate of 0.03%. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html The CDC has for some reason not issued any similar estimates for how many cases and deaths we've had from COVID. (By which I mean, the Trump administration most likely prohibited them from doing so, in order to keep the "numbers" lower.) Unlike with swine flu, we only have the numbers of directly verified cases and deaths (meaning the number of people who actually tested positive, and the number who died after testing positive). As of last night the US has had 3,695,025 cases and 141,118 deaths from COVID. That's a 3.82% mortality rate, which is very comparable to the Spanish flu of 1918. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ tl;dr version: COVID-19 is more than 100 times more lethal than the swine flu of 2009 was.

  12286. Fuso had 14-inch guns, which is a huge advantage against a battleship with 12-inch guns. Longer effective range, better armor penetration (not that vital when Agincourt's armor is pretty weak to begin with), and they do more damage when they hit.

  12316. Yes, in fact the electoral college does innately favor Republicans. But more to the point, the reason Democrats largely oppose the electoral college is that Democrats support actual free and fair elections. Republicans largely support the electoral college because they oppose free and fair elections.

  12317. Most American pre-dreadnoughts used that system, but frustratingly only for the 8" guns (or in the Illinois- and Maine-classes that had only 6" secondary guns, a mere 4 of those were mounted high). I suppose that's because the 8" guns were thought of as part of the main battery, while the 6" (or later 7") weren't as important to keep protected from rough weather. After all, if the weather's too rough for the hull-mounted casemate guns to function it's also too rough for torpedo boats to do much of anything.

  12319. That would've probably been better overall. But yes, the ideal solution would've been to simply remove part of the superstructure to make room for 28cm L/40 guns in the middle turret. I'm not sure how expensive that would've even been; the L/40 was only barely too long to fit from what I can tell. It's a huge failure on the designers' part to not realize this before construction began. I know that Germany's naval budget at the time placed significant limitations on their ships. But simply reducing the superstructure and using the longer guns on all 3 turrets wouldn't have been that much more expensive and would've made them dramatically better ships. The other big shortcoming of the Brandenburgs is that the first two ships had compound armor.

  12320. The Larry King call that doesn't in any way line up with what Reade claims happened. The brother who originally said he was only told about "harassment" at the time, but then changed his story to say actually she told him at the time that it was sexual assault. And the neighbor who was called up a couple months ago and "reminded" by Reade that she's told her about a sexual assault back in the 90s. So Reade's "evidence" is flimsy at best. Also, as you should be well aware, if Reade actually filed a complaint, that complaint wouldn't become part of Biden's personal papers. The complaint would've been filed with the Senate itself, not with Biden. Do you actually believe that if a Senate staffer got raped, they would have to file the complaint with their rapist? Reade never actually filed a complaint, that's the only plausible explanation for the Senate not having it.
    1
  12321.  @SteilLaw  The burden of proof is inherently on the accuser. And the "file search" being demanded is for a place where Reade's complaint could not possibly be.
    1
  12322.  @SteilLaw  Also, "filed together"? Are you illiterate or just stupid? If Reade actually filed a complaint against Biden, Biden would not be the one in possession of that complaint. If a complaint is filed against a Senator, the complainant does not hand the complaint to the Senator they're complaining against.
    1
  12323.  @SteilLaw  How on Earth is Biden "defenseless"? You believe that because you want to believe. The reality is that all Reade has provided are accusations, not evidence.

  12327. And the 1st Amendment was written when "the press" referred literally to printing presses, and the idea of something like the Internet was even LESS conceivable than a semi-auto rifle with a 30-round magazine. Does that mean the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to TYT's Youtube videos? That it would be within Congress's authority to ban them? Also, we certainly did have police at the time the 2nd Amendment was written. And the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps all date back to 1775.

Lower performance isn't necessarily that big a deal in a night fighter.

  12346. The main advantage if the error in the Iowa design had allowed the 16-inch Mark 3 guns to be used wouldn't even e that you get slightly higher muzzle velocity while firing the same shells. It'd be that the ships would've entered service sooner, due to not needing a new gun to be designed and built. Given the timing of when Illinois and Kentucky were ordered, they would still be cancelled while incomplete at the end of the war. Perhaps Iowa would've even been available for the latter half of the Solomons campaign.

  12347.  @bkjeong4302  The big advantage of battleships in the air defense role wasn't the number of AA guns (you could bring in multiple cruisers to achieve the same effect in that regard as a single BB) but in fire control and radar.

  12352. Yeah, the Bretagnes needed more speed and better shells, not bigger guns. 13.4" is a perfectly adequate gun size for a 24,000 ton battleship, but the French 13.4" shells weren't exactly brilliant with their rather lightweight projectiles. So yeah, either replacing them with the Dunkerque guns or relining the 13.4" barrels to create a 13"/47 gun firing the same projectiles would've been a huge improvement.

  12380.  @timonsolus  Germany was originally looking at the Saunders-Roe SR.177, and there had even been an agreement for Heinkel to license-build it in Germany. But Minister of Defence Duncan Sandys, who seems to have been bizarrely opposed to the very concept of Britain having an aviation industry, told (lied to) the Germans that the plane would never be completed and that they should look to America. Though given the oddball mixed rocket and jet engines on the SR.177, I have might doubts whether it really would've been the best choice either. The Mirage III and the F11F-2 Super Tiger were probably the best options among the planes that were considered. But neither Dassault nor Grumman seem to have realized they needed to pay out bribes to get their plane chosen.

Just let Russia claim Europe as their "sphere of influence" to do as they please with. The reality is that NATO was correct to never trust Russia. Appeasing Putin is just like appeasing Hitler. That's what was actually like the prelude to WW2. Not enough was done to stop Russia before this point. That said, a war between NATO and Russia would not in any way be a "world war". It would be a war that Russia very quickly loses. Russia's narrative that their economy is resilient is all smoke and mirrors, and their military would be completely defeated in a matter of days at most.

He was a US Senator from Georgia through 2004, at which point he was a keynote speaker at the Republican convention endorsing Bush. As for Tulsi, her support for Bernie in 2016 was pure opportunism. She was already facing intense criticism from Democrats over her conservative voting record and how she went on Fox News to attack the Democratic Party using Republican talking points. So she tried to reinvent herself as a progressive by resigning from the DNC and endorsing Bernie. But if you check out her voting record, it's not actually progressive. Oh, and if you're wondering why Bernie isn't giving Tulsi any support now? It's because she's running against him. Why would he support his opponent?

She was commissioned on October 24, 1912. The Washington Naval Conference didn't begin until 3 weeks later, on November 12, 1921. Only ships that weren't yet in commission were supposed to be halted. The Japanese delegation probably should've taken a tougher stance, telling the Americans "Mutsu is already in service, we won't scrap her, and you get nothing in exchange for that. Deal with it or we walk out without signing your treaty."

  12479.  @aheroictaxidriver3180  The problem with that idea is that the Constitution absolutely forbids having a different number of Senators per state. That's the one type of amendment that's absolutely forbidden. If we were to have the Senate be population-based, we'd have to scrap the entire Constitution in favor of a new one. And as polarized as America is today, that's impossible. There would be no way to create a new Constitution that would be widely accepted. If you wanted to make the electoral college be entirely population-based, you'd have to pass an amendment so that states only get one electoral vote per House member and not any for their Senators. That would mean that Wyoming would have 1 electoral vote and California would get 52, compared to their current 3 and 54. And the total electoral votes would be 436 instead of 538. The problem with that would be that you'd have a hard time convincing all of the smaller states to accept such a reduction in their electoral power, and you need the approval of 38 states for a constitutional amendment to pass. Another fix would be to get Congress to repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 and significantly increase the size of the House of Representatives. It's been 435 seats 1913, and over that time, the US population has more than tripled. If instead of 435 House seats we had 1,305 of them, that would greatly diminish the electoral advantage given to the smallest states. It would have the added advantage of making gerrymandering much more difficult. Since House districts are required to have contiguous borders and to be of approximately equal population, the more House districts a state has, the harder gerrymandering becomes. (As an aside, if all 12 of the proposed Bill of Rights amendments had been ratified by the states instead of just 10 of them, the House would have around 6,000 seats now. 1st US Congress had wanted to set it so that each House district would contain about 50,000 people. The average as of the 2020 Census is 761,179 people per district.)

  12481. It doesn't. N-102 is Northrop's internal designation. It never progressed far enough to get a USAF designation. Had a prototype ever been ordered, it probably would've gotten the designation XF-108.

So it would've been the first unused number available in 1954.)

  12512. While the Nelsons' 16" guns weren't as good as anybody else's on account of the lightweight AP shells (a heavier shell was designed but never budgeted for), they're still 16" guns. Their range and penetration, to say nothing of the amount of explosive they deliver, were definitely superior to any 14" gun. That said, given the accuracy and barrel life problems of the Nelsons' 16"/45, I think they might've been better off with triple 15"/42 (or the proposed 15"/50 that the J3 and F3 battlecruiser designs would've used).

  12534. You're an idiot. Social Security doesn't even impact the deficit at all. And we absolutely can sustain SS and Medicare without any cuts in benefits or increase in retirement age. Simply eliminate the income cap on the payroll tax. SS problems solved in a single stroke. And as for Medicare, we shouldn't be raising the eligibility age. We should be lowering it. Like to the moment of birth. Then implement whatever taxes are necessary to fund it. Works in every other nation, would work in America.

  12538. Lowering gun-related homicides does not automatically lower total homicides, because if a would-be murderer lacks a gun, he'll usually just find some other way to kill. Gun-related deaths just get replaced by non-gun-related deaths if guns are banned. And you might have noticed that the places in America that have the strictest gun restrictions tend to also have some of the highest murder rates.

Also, contrary to what Jimmy Dore likes to claim, Congress never voted against US intervention in Syria. Congress refused to ever vote on it at all.

They were human, entirely capable of making mistakes, and the electoral college was their greatest blunder. They rightly worried about the possibility of a tyranny of the majority, but their mistake was overlooking the threat of a tyranny of the minority. And the claim that California and New York would decide the outcome of every election under a popular vote system is complete nonsense. Under a popular vote system, states wouldn't decide the election at all. Only the voters would do so. You seem to be overlooking, for example, that Trump received over 5.7 million votes in California. that's about the same as what he got from Texas. But thanks to the electoral college, the voices of all those Trump voters in California were effectively silenced.

  12666. The Edgar Quinets came so close to being the hands-down best armored cruiser design. If they'd just ditched the casemate guns and turned the fore and aft wing turrets into twin turrets, even if that's at the expense of a slightly wider hull. And maybe removed some of that superstructure between the funnels so as to replace the amidships wing turrets with a centerline twin. As for being grandfathered into the Washington Naval Treaty? Actually they were. Both ships remained in service into the early 1930s. I'm just not sure how much leeway France would've had under the treaty in terms of upgrades. And the relatively short hull compared to Treaty cruisers would've limited how much speed you'd be able to get out of a refit no matter how much you improved the machinery.

It's not that they "don't buy into the current line of political/medical propaganda", it's that they're the ones peddling some truly loony propaganda. Tenpenny claims that COVID vaccines turn people into "transhumanist cyborgs" and that everyone who's vaccinated has "the equivalent of full-blown vaccine-induced immune suppressed AIDS" (there is of course, no such thing as vaccine-induced AIDS). And Mercola in addition to the anti-vaccine grift, has made a career out of selling fraudulent "dietary supplements".

  12699.  @chisangamumba2961  No, he didn't "conveniently leave out" that part. Because that part is a blatant lie. There was no coup, and Russia didn't "secure" Crimea, they stole it. Russians and pro-Russia commentators love to talk about how Khrushchev "gave" Crimea to Ukraine in 1953 (often falsely claiming that Khrushchev was himself Ukrainian, despite the fact that he was born in Kursk). But you guys always forget about how before that, Lenin stole Crimea from Ukraine in 1922, after the Red Army conquered them and forced them to join the Soviet Union. Kuban was also removed from Ukraine and assigned to Russia in 1922, and until the Holodomor there was a significant Ukrainian majority in Kuban (modern-day Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai, and Republic of Adygea). And regardless of what you think about the wisdom of returning Crimea to Ukraine in 1953, the fact remains that Russia had no valid claim on the territory in 2014. It doesn't matter if they were worried that NATO would gain access to Crimea.

  12703. The AN/M2 weighs 62 lb, while the faster-firing AN/M3 weighs 65 lb. (The latter would've been what the Jetmaster would've likely carried had it entered service.) Both are a good deal lighter than the 84 lb ground-based M2, since you don't need as heavy a barrel when it's constantly being cooled by airflow. So the guns would combined weigh 1,040 lb. Strafing-configured medium bombers during WW2 usually carried 400 rounds per gun. A 100 round .50 BMG belt weighs about 22 lb. So that's 1,408 lb of ammo. Seems to me that when your guns and ammo literally weigh over a ton, you might as well be using 20mm cannons instead of machine guns.

Also, the Nelsons' armor was wasn't bad at all. Until the Yamato-class was built, they had the thickest armor of any ships in the world. The problem was that their 16"/45 guns had some very poor design choices. Particularly a shell that was too light and thus was barely an improvement over the 15"/42 guns of the preceding classes when it came to penetrating the side armor of enemy ships, and was actually inferior in terms of penetrating deck armor.

Later still, Russia seized Kyiv as part of the partitions of Poland.

  12783. @Yuri Setsuna Once the quad turrets' teething problems are dealt with, I'd say even the as-built KGV with 14" guns is a 50/50 fight vs Bismarck. The guns are less powerful and 10 vs 8 isn't nearly the compensating factor that 12 vs 8 would've been. But KGV's armor is both more efficient and just better than Bismarck's. If KGV had been build with 3x3 15" instead, she'd be outright better than Bismarck in every respect except speed. Bismarck would be well-advised in such an encounter to use that speed to run away.

  12784.  @marinepixel6325  The problem with the Tennessees (or Seattles as they would've been called at that point, since lead ship Tennessee/Memphis was wrecked in 1916) is that it would be nearly impossible to refit them in a way that gives them a useful top speed. The hull form just wouldn't be suitable. They'd be limited to operating as a screening force for the battle line, since they'd be too slow to keep pace with carriers and Treaty cruisers.

  12847. As far as the Lebel name for the rifle goes? Lebel himself said that it should've been called the Tramond-Gras, since Tramond led the design team and Gras did most of the work on the rifle itself. He didn't think his name deserved to be on the rifle at all. But of course, that would make it sound like it's a Tramond modification of the existing Gras. Even though that's technically somewhat true (the rifle is clearly descended from the Gras), I'm guessing the French Army wanted it to sound entirely new, thus Tramond-Lebel at first and then shorted to just Lebel.

  12882. Have you ever done a video of "what the Ottoman Empire remained neutral?" It might seem a bit mundane, but it opens up all sorts of questions. How much longer could the empire have survived if not for defeat in WW1? Probably not that much longer, but it still would've probably meant the Arabs rather than the British and French would be the ones redrawing the borders in Arabia. How much sooner would the Central Powers have been defeated without that extra Ottoman manpower and the corresponding British and French manpower tied down fighting them? Would the war have ended quickly enough for the Russian Revolution to never happen? Would the United States become even more isolationist (due to not giving Europe a reason to recognize us the emerging great power), or actually less so (due to a shorter, less catastrophic war meaning it's not such an obvious example for the isolationists to point to of "we should stay out of Europe's follies")? Would the peace imposed on Germany have been harsher (due to no involvement by Wilson to water things down) or less so (due to Britain and France winning quickly with much fewer losses)? Would Germany remain a monarchy? How would warfare itself change going forward if the war ended before the tank had an opportunity to prove itself? There's even an incredibly easy and plausible point of divergence to make this timeline happen: Admiral Milne makes some better decisions and manages to catch and sink Admiral Souchon's ships before they can reach Constantinople and tip the balance in Enver Pasha's favor. Souchon's lookouts could actually see Milne's battlecruisers coming over the horizon when he crossed into the Dardanelles, so this came very close to happening in reality.

  12925. With regard to your Greek cruiser idea, there's a clause of the Washington Naval Treaty you're overlooking: "No vessel of war constructed within the jurisdiction of any of the Contracting Powers for a non-Contracting Power shall exceed the limitations as to displacement and armament prescribed by the present Treaty for vessels of a similar type which may be constructed by or for any of the Contracting Powers". So British shipyards would not be allowed to build a cruiser hull that exceeds the Treaty limits, not even for export purposes. There are two possible ways I can see to get around this. The first would be (since Greece certainly had no shipyards capable of building the hull themselves) to contract the hull out to a non-Treaty nation. The only other options I can think of that were physically capable of building a cruiser hull would be Spain, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union. And Germany, but I don't think Versailles would allow it and you have good reason for not wanting a Germany in a position to screw up your design. The other option would be to stick with having the hull built in Britain (you obviously want that high-quality British armor), but make the ship technically a small Treaty-compliant battlecruiser. France had a 1926 study that contemplated using their allocated capital ship tonnage in this manner, known as the "Navire de Ligne de 17500-tonnes", which would've had a top speed of 35 knots and been armed with 2x4 305mm/55 guns. This design evolved in to the significantly larger (but still small by Treaty standards) Dunkerque-class. So change your cruiser's armament from 4x3 8-inch to 4x2 12-inch (already a caliber in Greek service, on the fairly useless pre-dreadnoughts Kilkis and Lemnos; perhaps even those ships' turrets could be scavenged to arm the new ship, and scrapping them would free up some money), and increase its displacement a bit. It's well over 10,000 tons and carries 12-inch guns, so it's obviously a capital ship and not a cruiser. Thus Britain isn't violating the treaties by building the hull.

Also, my take on NATO expansion is...it's the reason Putin is only invading Ukraine. Otherwise he'd also be invading Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and possible Poland. The nations that have joined NATO over the last 30 years did so because they fear being invaded by Russia. Putin is demonstrating that they had very good reason to fear that. The only mistake was allowing fascist Hungary to join NATO and subvert it from within.

  12940.  @kbanghart  But for some people, it's pretty easy to tell that they're lying. And that's the case with Tulsi Gabbard. She went from being the "Democrat" who went on Fox to complain that Obama was "soft on terrorism" (because he "wouldn't say 'radical Islamic terrorism'"), demanding more drone strikes, praising Russia for leveling whole cities in Syria in the name of fighting ISIS, calling for a Muslim ban even before Donald Trump did, and introducing a bill in Congress for the specific personal benefit of Republican medagdonor Sheldon Adelson, to reinventing herself as an anti-war "true progressive". She was an obvious phony, but lots of people didn't want to see it. Tulsi realized that her conservatism was increasingly out of step with her Oahu district and at the time was looking to continue her career in Congress. And she opportunistically latched onto progressive frustration in the 2016 primary by "resigning in protest" from the DNC and endorsing Bernie Sanders. She figured that most voters in her district wouldn't be politically engaged enough to see past her endorsement of Bernie (particularly since so many of Bernie's supporters had never paid attention to politics before 2016 and wouldn't be familiar with her actual record), and that this would inoculate her against the (truthful) accusations that she was a Republican in Democrat's clothing. This worked temporarily, but people started to notice that Tulsi's actual voting record still didn't match up with her newly-progressive rhetoric. Especially since she never stopped shilling for right-wing dictators around the world. By 2020, it was clear that the jig was up, which is why she didn't bother running for reelection, and instead ran an blatantly grift-y vanity presidential campaign. This was really a not very thinly-veiled audition to Fox; a lot of us were predicting at the time that she was positioning herself to be a "former Democrat" Fox contributor. Since then, she's taken the mask all the way off, fully supporting every insane MAGA-cult conspiracy theory.

And the US Navy actually did this with five Civil War monitors. The other four (the Amphitrite-class) were at least roughly the same size and had the same number of turrets and main guns as the Civil War monitors they were "repaired from".

  12995. With regard to preserving one of the Standard-type battleships, my first inclination would actually be USS Nevada, the original Standard. She was similarly refitted to West Virginia as well. But realistically, the best chance of getting a Standard preserved would've been choosing a ship named for a coastal state. You'd have a much easier time fundraising for preservation of a ship from people in the state it's named for and if it can actually be brought to that state for permanent mooring. Which is a bit of a problem since most of the Standards were named after inland states. This criteria would narrow it down to just Mississippi (New Mexico-class), California (Tennessee-class), and Maryland (Colorado-class). Mississippi can be counted out right away because her conversion to a gunnery/missile test ship made her too ugly for a museum ship. California would've probably been the best candidate on account of her namesake being a huge and wealthy state. However, both California and Maryland would have the huge downside of being on the wrong coast when they were decommissioned, greatly increasing the expense of bringing them to their states. California was put in reserve at Philadelphia, while Maryland was in Bremerton, WA. Mississippi was in the most convenient location to tow her to her namesake state (being based in Norfolk), but again she looked like this: http://www.navsource.org/archives/01/014103.jpg

  13085.  @CaptRR  With regard to veto power in the UN Security Council, the solution to Russia's veto is to simply hold that Russia is not actually a UN member state at all. That their claim to be the successor state of the Soviet Union was fraudulent, and that the Soviet Union's permanent seat on the UN Security Council was permanently vacated when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. There would be ample precedent for such a ruling, in the form of Yugoslavia and Serbia. Serbia tried to claim they were the successor state of Yugoslavia. And really, they had a much stronger case for that status than Russia does for being the successor state of the Soviet Union. For one thing, Russia formally seceded from the USSR, while Serbia never seceded from Yugoslavia. How can Russia be the successor state of a nation they seceded from? In Serbia's case, the entire UN, including Russia, rejected their claim to be the successor of Yugoslavia. (Russia is, after all, nothing if not hypocritical.) Thus, from 1992 until 2000, Serbia was a non-member of the United Nations. It was only after they officially renounced their claim to be the successor state of Yugoslavia and submitted a membership application that they were admitted into the UN. While this was a matter of simple membership in the UN rather than a permanent seat on the Security Council, that doesn't really matter since quite obviously a non-member state cannot be on the Security Council. If Russia's membership in the UN is ruled to be fraudulent, that means they were never actually a Security Council member at all and their veto power never actually existed. And as for whether Russia could simply veto this and keep their fraudulent Security Council seat? No. We have another clear precedent in UN history for that, in the case of China and Taiwan. The Republic of China in 1945 was one of the founding members of the UN and one of the original 5 permanent members of the Security Council. After they lost the Chinese Civil War in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek's government in Taiwan continued to hold their UN Security Council seat despite only controlling Taiwan and a few other small islands. The People's Republic of China claimed to be the successor state of the Republic of China, while Taiwan insisted that the Republic of China still existed even if what they considered "rebels" were in control of the majority of its territory. In 1971, a majority vote of the UN General Assembly held that the Republic of China had ceased to exist in 1949 and the People's Republic of China was its legitimate successor state. Thus, the ROC was stripped of its Security Council seat and veto power, and there was nothing they could do about it. There is no veto in the General Assembly, only in the Security Council. And UN membership decisions are made by the General Assembly, not the Security Council.

France had already been designing quad turrets prior to WW1 (though the ships that would've carried them were never completed as battleships and no 13.4" quads ever seem to have been built) and actually had never designed any battleship-caliber triple turret, so going with that layout on the Dunkerques and Richelieus was a natural progression. But Britain didn't look into the idea of quad turrets until the 1930s.

Thus, the number of guns per person is lower, but the percentage of people who have guns is not.

  13125. Because Poland already had production lines for AKs, and it wasn't that complicated to adapt the 5.45 Tantal into the 5.56 Beryl. Obviously Poland put a lot of value in remaining an arms-producing nation rather than having to rely outside suppliers for everything down to the simple infantry rifle. Because if they were willing to just adopt the M16/M4 platform, the US would've provided them dirt cheap. Maybe even just gave them excess US Army rifles for free, since the US military was downsizing in 1997 when Poland officially adopted the Beryl.

  13130.  @stevevalley7835  Particularly since a heavier 2,250 lb shell was designed for the Nelsons' guns, just never implemented because that would cost more money that just going through all the already-built lightweight shells. It probably wouldn't have been hard to adapt the Nelsons' 16"/45 Mk I guns to fire the 2,375 lb shell that was planned for the Lions' 16"/45 Mk IV. As for old 13.5" twin turrets...the best use for those would be if you were going to build a small battlecruiser to server as a "cruiser-killer". Instead of using the old 13.5" guns, instead adapt the turrets for any spare 14"/45 Mk VII barrels (like the pair of coastal guns at Dover) for ammunition commonality with the KGVs. IIRC, the 14" Mk VII was actually designed to be able to drop into those turrets, because originally they planned to use Iron Duke (then demilitarized as a gunnery training ship) to test the guns at sea while the KGVs were still under construction.

Ukraine never wanted to be part of Russia, they were just forced at gunpoint. And now Russia is trying to do what they always do and conquer Ukraine again.

His tax plan is to slash corporate tax rates (despite the fact that, in a year of record corporate profits, corporate tax payouts are already at a 10-year low), while raising taxes on the poor, and making things like Social Security and veterans' retirement pay taxable. He wants to slash the EPA and eliminate regulation of Wall Street. Huntsman as a "moderate" is another case of image not matching reality.

They didn't have their own self-selected government, just overseers appointed by Russia. And it's not possible to have peace without defeating Russia. Because if Russia is allowed to keep the parts of Ukraine they've stolen, any "peace agreement" would only last for a couple of years at most before Russia invades again and demands even more concessions from Ukraine in the name of "peace".

  13199.  @KnightsWithoutATable  And that's why Russia hasn't built another carrier. The ex-Varyag didn't have engines, so they were unable to just steal that one from Ukraine like they did Kuznetsov, and the Chernomorsky Shipyard (as it was then known) in Mykolaiv was the only one in the entire Soviet Union that was capable of building an aircraft carrier. And unlike China (who'd built up the Dalian and Jiangnan shipyards to that level), Russia has been unable to bring any of their own shipyards up to that standard. If Russia were competent, they'd have shipyards in at least Saint Petersburg, Severodvinsk, and Vladivostok capable of maintaining Kuznetsov and possibly building new carriers. But since it's Russia, they don't. And thus Kuznetsov has literally never been properly maintained.

  13219.  @USS_Grey_Ghost  And the 4-inch magazine that initially detonated would've no longer existed. Had Hood been refitted with 4.5-inch BD mounts to replace the 4-inch AA and 5.5-inch secondary batteries (the most likely refit for her to receive, given the shortage of 5.25-inch guns), her layout would've likely resulted in the entire battery being located further forward, abreast the funnels and foremast.
    1
  13220.  @calebhorn9671  Had that lucky hit not occurred, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen would've been at a distinct disadvantage. The firepower advantage of Hood and PoW combined would simply be too much. It wouldn't be quite as bad as King George V and Rodney vs Bismarck, but it'd be close. The difference in penetration and bursting charge between Rodney's 16-inch guns and Hood's 15-inch is surprising small, due to the poorly designed lightweight (relative to caliber) shells of the Nelson-class. While it wouldn't have been as one-sided, since Bismarck was capable of maneuvering and Prince of Wales wasn't fully fitted out yet like King George V, two capital ships are still better than one. And Prinz Eugen wasn't going to do more than cause damage to non-vital areas. It's likely that Lütjens would've tried to flee at the first opportunity rather than engaging in a prolonged slugging match with a superior force. Depending on which direction he turned, this might've given Norfolk and Suffolk time to get involved in the battle. And the speed difference between Bismarck and Prince of Wales (the slowest ship present at the battle) wasn't enough to make escape very likely. Hood and Prince of Wales be able to get off quite a few salvos and the odds would be good of them damaging Bismarck enough to slow her down. Much like what would later happen when Duke of York fought Scharnhorst. Afterward, since Hood would need repairs, that time out of service would likely be used to finally give her that much-needed refit.

  13242.  @matthewjones39  The Maginot Line itself wasn't the problem. The problem was the mentality that it alone would be enough to prevent any German invasion. Maginot himself never had any such illusions, he fully intended that the line would simply require any invasion to be concentrated into a narrow area, which would allow France to in turn concentrate its own army in opposition. He also intended for the line to extend all the way to the channel at Dunkerque, but political pressure from Belgium prevented that. The Belgians were afraid that if the entire French border were fully fortified, France would simply abandon them to their fate in the the event of a German invasion. The idea that Germany would be able to so quickly bypass Belgium's own fortifications was never anticipated.

  13246.  @richardmoore609  Yes, the CL-84 was smaller than the V-22. You know what else was smaller than the V-22? The Bell XV-15, which was very similar in size to the CL-84. Seeing as the Osprey is essentially an upscaled XV-15, it stands to reason that the CL-84 could've been similarly scaled up to the V-22's size. And the CL-84 wasn't an attack helicopter, at least not primarily. It was more akin to a utility helicopter. It could mount weapons to be used as a gunship, but it also had enough passenger space for an infantry squad. Basically it was Huey that could turn into a plane after takeoff. And even to this day that's a role that has a place in military service. Bell's offering for a UH-60 Black Hawk replacement (the V-280 Valor) is another tilt-rotor that's slightly larger and similar in speed to the CL-84, but with better range and lift capability. Given that there's a 52 year gap between their respective first flights, that illustrates how far ahead of its time the CL-84 was. Maybe tilt-rotor is better in the long run than tilt-wing, or maybe tilt-rotor is just what Bell is good at so that's the route they're taking. But it's too bad we never got to see how far Canadair could've gone with this concept.

If Maduro is legally removed from office, then Guaido would legally become the interim President. But that hasn't happened yet. Perhaps the National Assembly should launch impeachment proceedings against Maduro. Unless of course, they don't have the votes to remove him.

  13282. There was a recent poll showing that in Florida, Rubio makes absolutely no difference in Romney's numbers. Also, most Latinos are of Mexican descent, not Cuban.

  13301.  @jiayangshao4736  You're completely deranged if you think there's any scenario where 100 million or 120 million people would've voted for Trump. Trump was already unpopular long before COVID-19 existed. Your claim that without COVID we would've had 3 to 4% GDP growth in 2020 is just silly. Trump had promised that level of growth as a candidate, but he never achieved it because his economic policies were in fact terrible. The low unemployment was simply the economy continuing to coast along on the already incredibly low unemployment that Obama had produced. We were already on pace for another recession even before the pandemic hit. 12 years between recessions is an exceptionally long gap, it's something that almost never happens. Which just illustrates how robust the Obama economic recovery was. The claim that Trump made huge gains among black voters and that Hispanics and Asians turned away from the Democratic Party is also a lie. The reality is that while Trump had an increase in the raw number of black people voting for him compared to George W. Bush, that's simply because 2020 had the highest voter turnout of any election in over a century. Biden and the Democrats made even bigger gains, hence Biden winning. Oh, and minor point, but Trump got 74 million votes. Even among those of you Republicans who are willing to admit that he lost, you try to make it seem closer than it really was by claiming the election was 80 million to 75 million instead of the reality of 81 million to 74 million. Shaving 2 million votes off of Trump's margin of defeat.

Horton ignores the fact that nobody on either side was even considering such a thing. Because in 1990, the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union still existed. When that treaty was being written, nobody had a clue that the Warsaw Pact would be dissolved just 12 months later, or that the Soviet Union would be dissolved just 10 months after that. It was being assumed that Gorbachev would carry out his reforms and the communist bloc would continue to exist for the foreseeable future. The idea that any of the governments of Eastern Europe would ever want to join NATO was literally inconceivable in 1990.

  13414. At this point, saying that Bernie can still win is no longer merely optimistic. It's delusional. Bernie doesn't just need to win every contest going forward, or even just win big in every contest. He would need 64% of the vote in every remaining contest in order to get a majority of delegates. He'd need 62% to get even a plurality. Bear in mind that one of those remaining states he'd need to win by such overwhelming margins is Delaware, Biden's home state. The only contest so far where Bernie got over 60% of the vote has been the Northern Mariana Islands caucuses. Just because it's mathematically possible for Bernie to get 64% of the vote in every remaining state doesn't mean it's plausible. Even if Biden literally died today, getting 64% of the vote in every remaining state would be a tall order for Bernie.

  13450. Ian seems to be overlooking that the distinction of the P90 and MP7 isn't merely that they don't fire 9mm Parabellum. It's that they don't fire a pistol caliber round at all. Nobody was claiming the MP5/10 was 4th generation because of the 10mm Auto round, since that's still a pistol round. The P90 and MP7 both fire scaled-down rifle rounds that were designed specifically for them. That makes them more in a category with the M1 Carbine (and more to the point, the select-fire M2 Carbine) rather than with SMGs. Nobody would ever call the M2 Carbine an SMG, even though years after the fact pistols have been made that fire .30 Carbine. And .30 Carbine has more in common with typical pistol rounds than 5.7x28 or 4.6x30.

  13464. 05:35:54 The question here was whether there were ships designed with all-aft armament. There is one significant example of this that I'm aware of. Behold, Scheme F of the design series that led to USS North Carolina: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:North_Carolina_class_scheme_F.jpg The main armament is a pair of quad 14"/50 gun turrets, while the bow is devoted to fairly extensive seaplane facilities with 3 catapults and an elevator to a small hangar deck. And with the citadel shortened as much as it was by this layout, the belt armor was a fairly absurd 17 inches thick, meaning this abomination would be better-armored than Yamato.

    1
  13537.  @ricardocabeza6006  Because states don't actually mean anything. Making an arbitrary distinction between "the states" and "the people" makes no sense, because a state is the people living in it. Thus, giving all states equal say in the Senate regardless of population simply means that some people are arbitrarily more important than others based solely on which state they live in.
    1
  13538.  @ricardocabeza6006 Yes, representation should be based either on districts of roughly equal population (as the House currently is), proportional representation via a nationwide vote, or some mix thereof. I didn't say that some states are arbitrarily more important under the current system, I said that some people are arbitrarily more important based on which state they're living in. The smaller the state you're in, the more your vote counts for in Senate and presidential elections.

  13560. In addition to the well-known Heavy Tank No. 6 (a Tiger Ausf. E), Japan also bought a Panther of unclear model and designated it Heavy Tank No. 5. Some Japanese soldiers went to Germany to test those tanks, but it was never possible to deliver them to Japan. Like the Tiger, the Japanese Panther must've ended up in German service and been destroyed. Japan also bought a Panzer III Ausf. N and Ausf. J, and both of those were delivered to via submarine. The intention had been to study those tanks and incorporate their features into the next generation of Japanese designs, but by the time they arrived the Panzer III was obsolete.

  13571. ​ @schullerandreas556  Such a fight would've probably gone very badly for Tiger and Blake. Not merely because of their turrets being lightly armored, but because by that point each of them only had one turret due to being converted into helicopter cruisers. Their autoloading 6" guns were faster-firing than General Belgrano's manually loaded ones, but not by nearly enough to make up for the disparity in barrel count. With only Tiger and Blake, you've got 4 guns each firing at best 20 rounds per minute. Whereas Belgrano had 15 guns that could fire 8-10 rounds per minute. Even if we assume Belgrano's gun crew was subpar and didn't load the guns as fast they were designed for, and that Tiger and Blake had everything working perfectly, there's just no getting around the "15 guns vs 4 guns" issue. For this to be a remotely winnable fight for the British cruisers, you'd need HMS Lion (C34) to somehow not have been scrapped in 1975 and instead also be operational. At that point you actually have enough barrels between the three sisters that their superior rate of fire would make up for Belgrano's superior barrel count. And also the advantage of having your firepower spread across three ships that could fire on Belgrano from different angles. But Belgrano would still be much better-armored.

  13581. I haven't heard anybody demanding "a black James Bond" to begin with. It's simply that Daniel Craig announced in 2019 that he's done with Bond after the next movie (which releases this year). So naturally that ramped up fan speculation about who would be the new Bond afterward. A name that came up a lot is Idris Elba. Not because he's black, but because he's Idris Elba. Only probably I can see there is that Elba is less than 4 years younger than Craig, meaning he's more a decade older than Craig was when he first got cast as Bond. The studio will probably want somebody younger, so they can get just as many films out of them as they did out of Craig. Also, I love how the fucktard talk about how there's plenty of black American action heroes. Apparently in addition to being a fucking racist, Crowder is too stupid to realize that James Bond isn't American.

  13608.  @iancarr8682  They were not. The original KGV designs had either 3x4 14" or 3x3 15" guns. The former layout was adopted for largely political reasons. Parliament pushed hard for it because of the 2nd London Naval Treaty, and revising the caliber upward after the escalator clause kicked in would've resulted in delaying the ships' construction (as happened with the US North Carolina class, which were also originally to have 3x4 14"). The argument was also made that 3x4 14" provides a heavier broadside than 3x3 15", regardless of whether the individual shells are less powerful. The reason for the final revision from 3x4 to 2x4 + 1x2 14" was that KGV was estimated to be IIRC over a thousand tons above the 35,000 ton limit. The Royal Navy was by far the most scrupulous in obeying treaty limits, so they had to drop some weight. Either by reducing the armor or reducing the armament. Since KGV would have the smallest guns of any modern BB regardless, it was considered essential that the armor not be sacrificed. The armor would be needed to allow safely pushing in to closer range where the reduced penetration of the main guns would become irrelevant. And since weight savings was the entire point of replacing one of the quad turrets with a twin, reducing the diameter of the barbette had to happen. That provides a significant weight reduction, probably more reduction than removing two of the barrels did. Thus, reverting to 3x4 14" was not a plausible option after the ships were built, even with the expiration of the treaties meaning that weight limits no longer applied.
    1
  13609.  @Fiddling_while_Rome_burns  Vanguard reverted to twin turrets entirely for economic and time considerations, not tactical ones. She was a compromise design, an attempt to build a ship comparable to the Lion-class design but get it into service faster by using surplus material. Building large-caliber guns and the turrets to mount them are the most time and resource-intensive parts of building a battleship. But Britain had IIRC over a dozen 15"/42 guns in storage (and little need to use them as spares for existing ships, because the Revenge-class had already exceeded their useful lifetime and the Queen Elizabeth-class were approaching that as well), and four existing twin turrets for those guns (removed from Courageous and Glorious for their conversions into aircraft carriers). Those turrets were altered with significantly increased front and roof armor, but this was still much cheaper than building new turrets from scratch. It was hoped that this would allow Vanguard to be completed in time to participate in WW2, but the shortage of skilled labor meant she wasn't ready for service until 1946.

  13610.  @The_New_IKB  German warship design in general was pretty inefficient in the 1930s and 40s, so all of their ships ended up being larger than the ships of similar capability in other navies.

  13611.  @Starwarsgeek-98  Honestly, that really was quite short-sighted to toss the Des Moines-class cruisers aside. Given their smaller size, they would've been cheaper and less manpower-intensive to bring back into service in the 1980s than the Iowa-class battleships were, and given the high rate of fire of their guns they'd be almost as useful for the shore bombardment role.

  13612.  @brzsombi  HMS Rodney is believed to have scored a hit against Bismarck with her 24.5-inch torpedoes (having fired them a dozen times over the course of the battle).

  13613.  Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva  An armored cruiser was any cruiser with belt armor. They were essentially the cruiser versions of pre-dreadnought battleships.

  13614.  @basembenyamin2965  Destroyers have torpedoes. While more often than not, ship-launched torpedoes missed their targets, the fact that they're in the water means the targeted ship has to maneuver to dodge. Which is disruptive to whatever battle plans the targeted ship had.

  13660. 1:45:20 I'm pretty sure you're mistaken here. There is no strictly date-based cutoff that lets the US keep Colorado while Japan has to scrap Mutsu. Mutsu was completed well ahead of Colorado. In fact, it was kind of complete bullshit that Mutsu was ever on the chopping block at all. The Washington Naval Conference convened on November 12, 1921. This was when the US proposed that all incomplete capital ships be scrapped. But Mutsu was already complete, being commissioned by the IJN on October 24, 1921. Colorado, on the other hand, wouldn't be completed until August 30, 1923. The US was blatantly negotiating in bad faith by on one hand insisting that the cutoff was based on the date of November 12, but on the other hand including a ship that had to be scrapped despite already being complete before that date. It's also not really accurate at all to say the Japanese were rushing to complete Mutsu. Mutsu's construction was actually slightly slower than Nagato's, and Nagato certainly wasn't a rush job. And she was completed before the conference had even be called, let alone before the US proposed that all capital ships not already completed be scrapped. So there's really no basis for suggesting they were rushing to beat a deadline that didn't exist yet.

Even if you have income of well over $1 million (meaning you're not merely a 1%er but a 0.1%er), and you live in California, and all of it is in the form of regular income and not capital gains (which are taxed at much lower rates), and for some ridiculous reason claim no deductions at all, your effective income tax rate still isn't going to get anywhere close to 48%. The only way anyone could ever end up paying 48% of their income in taxes if they check the box on their tax return to voluntarily give the government extra money.

  13774.  @mabeSc  Yes, in fact it is Ukraine's neutrality that made this entire war possible. A neutral nation is a nation that can be invaded without consequence, as Russia demonstrated in 2014 by invading Ukraine and seizing Crimea from them. It was only after Crimea was seized that Ukraine sought NATO membership. And Ukraine's political alignment is none of Russia's business. Why is it so hard for Russia to accept that Ukraine is not part of Russia?
    1
  13775.  @mabeSc  Your "disagreement" is based on false premises. Ukraine was not "in the process of scrapping their neutral and non-aligned position and policies in favour of NATO" when Russia invaded. Russia invaded first, and only afterward did Ukraine start seeking NATO membership. Because Russia had just demonstrated that NATO membership is the only way to be safe from getting invaded by Russia. Ukraine absolutely was neutral in 2014, when Russia first invaded them. Russia's "interests" in Ukraine are not reasonable at all. Russia claims this is about "national security", but it's actually just about Russia wanting to dominate Ukraine and loot its resources. Russia thinks it's entitled to control Ukraine. Simple as that. Yes, I would be saying the same if Canada was to join CSTO. (Not that such a thing would ever happen.) And all of the comparisons people make between Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Cuban missile crisis are completely asinine. Nobody was even contemplating putting nuclear missiles in Ukraine. And after the Cuban missile crisis, Cuba continued to be a close ally of the USSR, including there being Soviet military bases in Cuba. If the US had invaded Cuba, bombarded Havana, and annexed Cienfuegos, then the Cuban missile crisis would've been something similar to what Russia has done in Ukraine. But the US did none of those things.

  13802. Regarding the Borodino/Izmail-class battlecruisers, despite their inefficient layout I'd rate their chances pretty highly against 1st Scouting Group even if Jutland never happened and Hindenburg was added, assuming the the Russian gun crews have even marginal competence. You've got 4 Russian vs 6 German BCs, but the thing is that half of the Germans are only armed with 11" guns, which would be quite ineffective against 11.4" belt armor. And Von der Tann with only 8 11"/45 (and half of those in wing turrets with very limited capacity for cross-deck fire) I'd say would only be marginally more threatening to a Borodino than Blücher would've been. Also, it's not really accurate to say the Russians couldn't flee if needed, since the German BCs also had design speeds ranging from 25 to 26.5 knots. Granted, most German BCs showed an ability to exceed their design speeds by a couple of knots, but that was by heavily forcing their boilers and not something that could be sustained for hours on end to overhaul a fleeing ship of similar speed. In short, Admiral Hipper would be in for a really bad day if required to engage a force of 4 Borodinos.

  13809. 27:24 Honestly, this might have been Nicholas's biggest mistake. This would've been the point to say "Serbia is actually a pretty useless ally" and kick them to the curb. Bulgaria being both larger and more favorably positioned geographically could potentially have helped him achieve his dream of seizing the Dardanelles from the Ottomans. Yes, Bulgaria was the aggressor in the conflict, but this was a time when territorial expansion via conquest was still considered acceptable. And Nicky was still looking to expand his own territory via conquest. In those days it wasn't actually "who's the aggressor" that mattered, it was just "who's winning?" If he'd chosen Bulgaria over Serbia in 1913 and came to Bulgaria's aid when they were losing the war, it would've had the added advantage of preventing World War I the next year. Instead, it would've just been Austria-Hungary curbstomping Serbia, and that would've been that.

  13844. Obama couldn't have put Elizabeth Warren in with a recess appointment because the Senate wasn't in recess at the time. She withdrew herself from consideration for the job, and Obama nominated Cordray. Cordray got blocked by Republicans too, so when there actually was a Senate recess, Obama installed him via recess appointment. By that point, Warren was already a declared candidate for the Massachusetts Senate seat, and thus no longer an option for the CFPB position.

Even from a purely self-interested standpoint, if (as was the case for most British people) you didn't care about the impact on the indigenous people who had been colonized, by the 1940s basically every colony other than India was a financial drain on Britain rather than a source of wealth extraction.

  13892.  @DrewSorensenMusic  I haven't had any bad experiences with churches, but there absolutely are lots of them that operate on a for-profit basis. Just look at all those "mega-churches". Whether a church gets tax-exempt status should have nothing to do with it being a church. It should be entirely about whether it's a legitimate non-profit entity. A church that's collecting money only for charitable purposes and its own upkeep should still get tax-exempt status, so long as it obeys the same laws as every other charity. But a church that's specifically enriching its owners (like the megachurches, and scam cults like the "Church" of Scientology)? Those should have to pay taxes like any other for-profit business does. It's not the IRS's place to decide who is and isn't a religion, and thus it should be how a church operates rather than what it believes that determines whether it's a tax-exempt non-profit.

It declares Russia to be "democratic, federative, law-based state with a republican form of government", but the reality is that Russia is none of those things. It is a dictatorship that has show elections to pretend it's democratic. Its "federative" character has been completely demolished in favor of total central control from Moscow. Rule of law does not exist in Russia. And it's a de facto monarchy with Putin as the tsar.

    1
  13960.  @lachlanbell8390  It's not a matter of motivation that makes Bret Weinstein's claims so ridiculous, it's a matter of biology. He claims that Chinese people suddenly "evolved" to have mostly male babies in order to create a larger army. That's not how evolution works. As an evolutionary biologist himself, Weinstein knows that full well. He's just peddling crazed racism because that's what he makes his money doing now. The reality is Chinese culture has always valued boys far more than girls, because only a boy can grow up to carry on the family name. And because the parents of a girl are expected to pay a dowry to the family of her husband. So when the CCP imposed the one-child policy, women would tend to get an abortion if their first (and thus only allowed) child was going to be a girl. In Chinese culture, it was both a social and financial liability to have only a daughter and not a son. This shouldn't be too hard to understand, since for most of Western history, our own culture has had those exact same traditions. It's only very recently that there's been any movement at all away from such thinking in the West.

If anything, it encourages corruption, by sending the message that they should go big in their corruption, to grab as much bribe money as possible in the 4-8 years they'll be in office. For all of his flaws, Andrew Jackson doesn't seem to have been corrupt himself. But he was kind of nuts, and reflexively assumed everybody else who didn't support him was automatically corrupt. (Which isn't to say that his opponents weren't corrupt. Plenty of them were. But he assumed it of all of them. Whereas he assumed the only way one of his own followers could be corrupt is if they started disagreeing with him about something.)

  14029. The original Zionists were completely upfront about the fact that they were colonizers. And why wouldn't they be? It wasn't until the 1950s that anybody in Europe thought of colonialism as a bad thing. In the 19th and early 20th century, colonialism was openly celebrated as being the height of civilization. Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism and revered in Israel as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State", openly and proudly declared in the 19th century that Jews would colonize Palestine, and that they would do so directly following the British Empire's model of colonizing the Americas and Africa. To support this endeavor, the Zionist movement would establish such companies as the "Jewish Colonisation Association" (1891), "Jewish Colonial Trust" (1899), and "Palestine Jewish Colonization Association" (1924). Herzl and his World Zionist Organization insisted on using the colonial model because if European Jews asked for permission to immigrate to Palestine, the existing population could say no. By colonizing Palestine, they would take away the existing population's ability to reject their takeover of the land. This was not a secret, it was their openly-declared intention. It's only now in the 21st century, when the vast majority of the world considers "colonialism" a dirty word, that supporters of Israel started denying that their country was founded by colonization.

  14031.  @yousefmahgoob4876  Poland is a NATO member, so it would be Russia who commits suicide if they actaully attacked Poland over such a move. And as far as giving up large numbers of tanks? Poland just bought 250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 tanks. That should do nicely to replace their 232 PT-71s. They also have 382 even older T-72s of various models. That's 614 tanks that Ukrainian crews would have little difficulty operating. The T-72 isn't Ukraine's primary tank (the sold off most of the ones they inherited, because they have the factory that built the T-80 and thus it was easier to standardize on), they still retained enough that their maintenance crews will know how to handle them. (Something that's helped with dozens of T-72s and a handful of T-90s captured from Russia.) Since Poland's new Abrams also put them on the path to fully standardizing on NATO 120mm, that also means their large stockpile of 125mm ammunition will soon be of little use, but would be very useful to Ukraine.

  14049.  @F-Man  There actually was a successor fast battleship design drawn up, one of the alternate concepts for Montana called "BB-65 Scheme 8" (this being before Illinois and Kentucky were ordered, so it had been presumed there would only be 4 Iowas). It was meant to maintain the 33 knot speed of Iowa while still adding a 4th turret. This design wasn't chosen because its size (and therefore cost) was considered simply absurd. 70,000 tons standard displacement, (7,000 tons heavier than the finalized Montana) and 1,050 feet long at the waterline. This is size that wouldn't be reached in an actually-built warship until USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in 1961. And the propulsion was equally insane. 320,000 shaft horsepower would've the highest output of any ship in history until USS Gerald R. Ford in 2017. That's why the ship would've had to be so long, to fit so much machinery. And since late 1930s technology couldn't produce a shaft capable of handling 80,000 horsepower. BB-65-8 would've needed six shafts. And while the belt armor wouldn't be as thick as the 16.1 inch chosen for the finalized Montana, 15.3 inches is still nothing to sneeze at, and a massive improvement over the 12.1 inch belt on Iowa, 12.2 inch on South Dakota, and 12 inch on North Carolina. All of this illustrates what an insane ship is required to improve on Iowa's firepower and protection without sacrificing any speed.

IIRC, the 18" twin turret would've actually been slightly lighter than the 16"/50 triple, and had the same size barbette. So just switching out the guns on a 1-for-1 basis would've involved the least design changes and allowed Montana to be built quicker.

    1
  14172. Rand Kocher Everything you posted is a nonsensical fantasy. In reality, this is the Obama economy. Your claim that Obama's 8 years were the worst economy in 70 years is ludicrous, given that Trump inherited a booming economy from Obama. And no matter how much you cling to the notion that deregulation helps the economy (to the extent that it's akin to a religious belief on your part), reality shows that the opposite is true. Deregulation is what caused the crash of 2008, and Trump's deregulation will cause the next crash.
    1
  14173. Rand Kocher Those CEOs you refer to? They were lying when they made that claim about over-regulation supposedly making it impossible to start up new companies. There was no "over-regulation", they just wanted deregulation so that they could engage in the corrupt business practices that regulations exist to prevent. Also, no Obama did not have the highest unemployment since the 1940s. Nor did the national debt actually double under his presidency. And the reason for "the most people on welfare and foodstamps ever" is simply population growth. There's also more people on welfare now under Trump than under nay previous President. Because there's more people in America, period. Oh, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac played literally no role in the crash of 2008. And that degulation of the banks that you attribute to Clinton? That's the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, written entirely by Republicans and passed by a Republican Congress. Yet you try to pass it off as part of a scheme by Democrats to "bring America down". It's funny how you think that Democrats are conspiring to destroy the American economy, yet the American economy consistently does better when Democrats are in power.
    1
  14174. Rand Kocher It's not "companies" that I have a problem with, it's plutocrats. And these claims of "over-regulation" are nonsense. Meanwhile, Trump is giving us under-regulation. The unemployment numbers were not somehow worse than reported under Obama. (I suppose you think that the same unemployment numbers are magically accurate now under Trump, right?) And the idea that the unemployment rate has any connection to eligibility for unemployment insurance is a persistent but completely baseless myth. What determines whether you're counted as "unemployed" when you don't have a job is whether you're actively seeking a job. If you are, you count toward the unemployment rate, regardless of whether you qualify for unemployment payments. When Obama took office, the national debt was over $11 trillion, and hit $12 trillion by the time he first had a budget sent to him by Congress. When he left office it was $19 trillion, passing $20 trillion late last year. So you're exaggerating by upward of $2 trillion in order to create your "doubling" narrative. I suppose going from 12 to 20 trillion is close to doubling, but since none of the national debt figures have been adjusted for inflation, it's also not that meaningful. The idea that the economy was "revving up red hot because of Reaganomics" is comical nonsense, because Reaganomics was a complete disaster. The effects of Reaganomics are a big part of how Clinton got elected in the first place: the recession of 1991-92 and its jobless recovery were the fruits of Reaganomics.

  14182. That makes no sense. Mathematically, I mean. Bloomberg isn't taking votes away from Bernie, and thus isn't taking delegates away from Bernie. Very few of the people who might vote for Bloomberg in the upcoming primaries are even considering voting for Bernie. The people who will vote for Bloomberg would've otherwise probably been Biden voters. As such, Bloomberg will have no impact at all on how many delegates Bernie gets. All Democratic primaries award delegates on a strictly proportional basis. There's no winner-take-all, meaning that the only way he can reduce how many delegates Bernie gets would be to convince people who are considering Bernie to vote for Bloomberg instead. Exactly how many people do you think that's going to work with? There's very little overlap between people who like a centrist-at-best ex-Republican billionaire and people who like Bernie.

  14183.  @7coloredalice  Apparently now Bloomberg's campaign is now pushing for everybody else to drop out, on the premise that if the field remains split it will result in Bernie building up an insurmountable delegate lead.

  14208. At a first glance at WW2 aircraft, you'd think that installing a Merlin was the cheat code for turning a mediocre aircraft into a great one. (It certainly did that with the Mustang, after all. Along with turning the pitiful failure that was the Manchester into the stunning success that was the Lancaster.) Which leads to all the questions of "why didn't (X aircraft that had any sort of difficulties) use the Merlin?" that always come up. A more in-depth look with often show there were perfectly good reasons, though. Whether it's the Merlin being a poor fit for a particular plane or just (as in the Whirlwind's case) bad timing meaning that when it could've happened there simply weren't enough Merlins to go around. And of course, the failures that used a Merlin tend to either be forgotten entirely or just never remembered for being Merlin-powered. While the Merlin was a great engine, it was never as simple as "install a Merlin = automatic epic plane".

  14250. Had it not been cancelled, the CA-23 might arguably have been a bit dated by the time it entered service. Four AN/M3 .50 cal machine guns and some unguided rockets under the wings might have been sufficient in 1949, but just a few years later you really needed better than that. But given how CAC's version of the Sabre (the CA-27) replaced the .50 cals with a pair of 30mm ADEN cannons and soon added underwing pylons for AIM-9B Sidewinders, it's not unreasonable at all to think that the same design team would've made those alterations to the CA-23. Though given its size (twice as big as the Sabre), it probably wouldn't have been as agile. But most early supersonic fighters weren't especially agile in general. And its size would've given it the growth potential to add a radar later, something that wasn't possible with the CA-27. (As the USAF's F-86D shows, putting a radar on a Sabre requires a pretty radical redesign.)

    1
  14276.  LenNay  - They didn't retract their statements. - Putin is spending far less money on Russia's military than the US is spending on the US military because Russia has far less money. Pretending that somehow means he doesn't want territorial expansion is idiotic. Russia already has seized and annexed neighboring territory via military force, after all. (FYI, I never said he was rebuilding the USSR. It'd be more accurate to say Putin wants to bring back the Russian Empire.) - The DNC isn't giving Trump $700 billion, or any other amount of money. - Putin didn't want Trump elected merely to enact pro-Russia policies. He wanted Trump elected in order to divide and weaken the United States. As he sees it, anything that hurts America helps Russia, because it's America that limits Russia's expansion. - Yes, I am calling Assange a liar. And Hillary Clinton's emails don't back up at all his claim that the US funded al-Qaeda and ISIS. - Jimmy Dore is a kook being he's lying about the US funding and arming terrorists. - It's not that Al Jazeera is a Russian puppet. It's that General Flynn is a Russian puppet. - Neither Aaron Mate nor anyone else has ever "debuned" what you dismiss as "Russiagate".
    1
  14277.  LenNay  Do you even know what the DNC is or are you just stupid? The DNC did not give Trump anything. Also, the last time the US seized and annexed another nation's territory was 1898, when Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines were seized from Spain. The most recent example of Russia doing so is 2014, with the invasion and annexation of Crimea. And yes Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian puppet.

  14281.  @bfps2020  Possibly the RAF would upgrade their presence in the Falklands to a full squadron if this happened. (Which they might do anyway in response to the JF-17s; it wouldn't be a terrible idea.) But in practice, the Argentines might rattle their sabers for domestic consumption, but they know better than to actually have a go at invading the Falklands again. They might be able to take the islands after they get back to having an air force, but they'd never be able to hold them. Not when the Royal Navy can roll in with a pair of aircraft carriers escorted by Type 45 destroyers and Type 26 frigates. For that matter, the Type 83 destroyers that haven't even been designed yet will probably be in service before Argentina gets back to having a real military.

  14282.  @EdDale44135  Which has the opposite effect. Giving an ex-President deferential treatment beyond what any other defendant would get is proceeding based on politics. It's just that milquetoast coward Merrick Garland is so terrified of looking like he's biased against Trump that he's been effectively biased in favor of Trump.

  14283.  @therealjoshuacaleb4873  The issue is that Trump supporters are deeply ignorant. Asking "why isn't Hillary in jail for Benghazi?" is an absolutely perfect example of this extreme ignorance.

  14286.  @jeffstrom164  Complete jingoistic bullshit. Canada does not use less effective medicine and technology. And the entire mythology about Canadians coming to the US for health care is a lie. Pretty much only the mega-rich do that, and that's not because of quality of care. It's because in the US, being rich lets you skip to the head of the line, while in Canada they'd have to wait their turn.
    1
  14287.  @jeffstrom164  Typical idiotic lies. No, it's not a matter of "not being treated in a timely fashion". It's that egotistical billionaires are offended by the idea of waiting at all. Especially if poorer people are ahead of them in line. Not having socialized healthcare is what's dumb. There's a reason that no other nation on Earth tries to copy the US system. And it's not because of your jingoistic lies about the US having better medicine and better technology.

  14288. Correction: Jack Matlock is still alive, and still lying about such a promise ever having been made in the first place.

  14289.  @manilajohn0182  All of that was solely about Germany. Because, I repeat, the Soviet Union Warsaw Pact still existed at the time this pledge was made. Nobody was even thinking about Eastern European nations joining NATO, because they were all still Warsaw Pact members and nobody thought that was going to change. No one anticipated the Soviet Union collapsing in 1991. It was almost universally assumed that it would continue to exist for decades to come. (And ironically, the USSR might very well have lasted to the present day, albeit with some of its republics seceding, if the communist hardliners hadn't staged their coup attempt to prevent Gorbachev's plans to decentralize power.) As such, there wasn't a single person in those negotiations who would've even thought of Polish membership in NATO as a possibility, let alone something that the US would've needed to promise the USSR wouldn't happen.

  14290.  @manilajohn0182  It doesn't matter what they said. Neither of them had the authority to promise NATO would never "expand eastward", and both were talking solely about East Germany.
    1
  14291.  @manilajohn0182  What the Soviets (remember, the USSR still existed in 1990) got in return was that NATO would not operate in the territory of the former East Germany. That's it. That's all that was promised. Period. And that promise has been kept even to this day. The only army that is ever deployed in the former East Germany is Germany's own. American military bases in Germany are all in the former West Germany. Nor do any of the other NATO member states ever deploy any troops in the former East Germany.

  14318.  @glennsutter9533  So what you're saying is, democracy is "skewed heavily toward liberals", because a majority of Americans are liberals. And you think that because of this, it would be better to just not have democracy. The majority winning the election is inherently fair.

  14320.  @jimj.6412  Why should Wyoming be able to equal California? The highest populated states very clearly do not get their fair share of electoral votes. And the 15 smallest states are not 1/3 of the country. They're 5.5% of the country.
    1
  14321.  @jimj.6412  So what if each state has its own needs? Every state is represented. The problem is that the smaller states are overrepresented. Those "1/3 of the states" that it takes to equal California's vote? Combined they have less than half of California's population, yet they get the same vote. That in and of itself proves that the smaller states are given disproportionately large power.

  14322. The bullet IS the projectile, you ignoramus. The entire package of casing, powder, primer, and bullet is the CARTRIDGE. You place a cartridge into a gun.

There is no component called a "ballistic". When you've got such strong feelings about regulating something, you probably ought to know the basic facts about it.

Instead, Chile should've offered to repurchase Almirante Cochrane as an aircraft carrier. This would've given Chile the prestige of being the first South American navy with a carrier, and with that kind of operational experience perhaps they could've established themselves as the continent's premier navy instead of getting surpassed by Brazil.

  14411. So what if they speak Russian? That doesn't give Russia any claim to the territory. And "Crimea had previously been a part of Russia" because Russia conquered it and committed genocide against the indigenous Tatars. Russians are not a majority in Donetsk and Luhansk, they're only about 1/3 of the population. Framing Russia's war of conquest as a "peace keeping incursion" is insane, and the "diplomatic solution" that Trump is seeking is to force Ukraine to surrender.

  14444.  @lonjohnson5161  The 2 turrets aft, 1 forward layout was for weight distribution purposes. If you look at her from the side, you'll see the forward turret and the superfiring aft turret are at the same deck level, while the aftmost turret is lower. Rearranging the turrets to have 2 forward and 1 aft would've been too much topweight for such a small cruiser to deal with. The designers knew this A-XY layout was less flexible than AB-X would be. They tried to compensate via the weird setup of neither of the aft turrets being directly on the centerline. X turret was offset to port and Y turret was offset even more to starboard. This resulted in wider arcs of fire, especially against targets to starboard. However, the experiment with offset turrets was deemed a failure that structurally weakened the ships (which were lightly built in general to keep the size as small as it was), and the follow-on Leipzig-class (while retaining the A-XY layout) had all 3 turrets centerline.

  14449. Well, some Greek letters get skipped, so we know that could happen with later variants. Nu was skipped because it would confuse people by sounding like "new", for example. I'm guessing that Pi will also be skipped because "pie variant" would sound too silly. And they probably won't want to use Omega because that would give the impression that it's the last variant, and it probably wouldn't be. At that point they'll need to come with a different naming scheme.

  14459. The US Navy also adopted the 7" gun for the last generation of pre-dreadnoughts (which also had 8" twin turrets), because it was the largest possible RF gun with the technology available. They made some unique choices for their pre-dreadnoughts. Some of which were good ideas (8" secondaries in twin turrets), others that were...not (stacking 8" secondaries on top of the main gun turrets). The 7" secondary, I'm not sure which end of the spectrum it falls on. Since it was slower-firing than 6", it might not have been as good at driving away torpedo boats/destroyers. But on the other hand a single 7" shell would be enough to end even the largest destroyers of the era. Side note: I really hope there's some forgotten design out there for a 7"/45 armed scout cruiser that never saw the light of day because Congress wasn't giving any funding for cruisers, just so that Wargaming can add it to World of Warships.

  14461.  @michaels4255  In reality, the Russians are wrong about absolutely everything. It's Russia that's out to steal Ukraine's natural resources. The West was never even contemplating attacking Russia. And Ukrainians do not have a natural affinity for Russia. Russia has been Ukraine's oppressor for centuries. Expecting Ukraine to have an affinity for Russia is on the same level of nonsense as expecting Poland to have an affinity for Russia. Your entire narrative that Ukrainians are actually Russians is a complete lie.

  14468.  @olivergoodridgeify  After her conversion to a helicopter cruiser, HMS Tiger had only her forward 6" twin turret remaining. While the autoloading QF 6" Mark N5 could reload more than twice as fast as the hand-loaded 6"/47 Mark 16 guns on General Belgrano, the fact remains that it's only 2 guns compared to 15. Tiger would've probably fared quite poorly in such an engagement. Particularly since Belgrano also had significantly better armor. Even if HMS Blake (Tiger's sister ship that had undergone the same conversion) were also available, the two of them combined would still be substantially outgunned. The only way to have a gunfight that's not favorable to Belgrano would be if HMS Lion (3rd ship of the class, scrapped in 1975) had somehow still been operational in 1982. Lion was never converted and thus still had her aft turret, and that would be a total of 8 guns between the three sisters. At that point, they'd be able to put out a higher volume of fire than Belgrano.

  14494. The most plausible scenario for the entire French fleet going to Britain would be if Churchill and Reynaud's Franco-British Union proposal had actually happened. (Which would only have been possible if Petain and other pro-armistice politicians in France had been disposed of. Either by arresting them for treason (which in retrospect they were actually guilty of) or just assassinating them.) Regarding the question on Nelson and Myoko turrets, if the third rather than second turret is superfiring then at long range that actually would allow for all three turrets to fire forward. Since the second turret's guns would be elevated to fire over the roof of the first turret. This actually was the layout used on the Mogami-class cruisers, and later on the Juneau- and Worcester-class CLAAs. And at least two British battlecruiser concepts (F2 and F3, a pair of Treaty battlecruiser designs that were among the Nelson-class proposals before the O3 battleship design was chosen) also used that layout. Personally, even aside from turret layout, I think the Royal Navy would've gotten more utility out of the Nelsons had they been built to the F3 design. The armor would've been weaker, but still rather good (12-13" belt instead of 13-14", basically the same deck armor). The armament would've in theory been weaker, but given that the Nelsons' 16"/45 guns proved to be a bit of a disappointment, 3x3 15"/50 guns firing the same shells as the 15"/42 would've actually been an improvement. And a ~29 knot top speed would've allowed them to keep pace with aircraft carriers rather than being limited to operating with slower fleets or as convoy escort.

  14500.  @crabbyguy2737  The problem with a scenario where HMS Incomparable was actually built is the Washington Naval Treaty. The existence of a capital ship with 20" guns (while nobody else has anything bigger than 16.1") would've changed everything. I'm not sure any reasonable compensation could be offered to the other powers in exchange for letting Britain keep Incomparable, without in the process negating the purpose of the treaty entirely. As such, there's a very strong chance that Britain gets forced to either scrap Incomparable or convert her into an aircraft carrier. The latter seems pretty plausible, since building Incomparable probably means not building Courageous, Glorious, and Furious. This in turn means the 15"/42 turrets and guns that would later be used to arm HMS Vanguard no longer exist. Instead, we might see a Vanguard armed with 3x2 20" guns. In fact, Vangaurd might never have ended up existing at all, since in might well have been possible to adapt Lion or Temeraire (both laid down 2 years earlier) to mount those turrets (something that couldn't be done with the 15"/42s because going from 3 turrets to 4 meant lengthening the ship), which would've been a quicker process than halting their construction in favor of the all-new Vanguard.
    1
  14501.  @GetWarded  That's definitely a scenario I'd be interested in having discussed. If Major Harvey had succumbed to his wounds a little bit faster, Lion would've certainly suffered the same fate as Queen Mary. While that would've silenced 6 more 13.5" guns and allowed the German battlecruisers to shift their fire to another target (likely Lützow and Derfflinger targeting Princess Royal while Seydlitz and Moltke targeted Tiger and Von der Tann targeted New Zealand), at the same time it would've removed Beatty from the equation and put Rear Admiral Osmond Brock on Princess Royal (commander of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron) in command of the remaining ships. It's highly unlikely that Admiral Brock had a signals officer as incompetent as Ralph Seymour either. That said, with the Battle Cruiser Fleet having already lost fully half of its strength, it seems likely that Brock would've ordered a retreat in the direction of the 5th Battle Squadron, allowing them to screen his withdrawal. It's also possible that the rest of the battle might not have happened at all. Hipper and Scheer might have judged this reduction of the British battlecruisers to be a victory in and of itself and withdrawn, in hopes of taking another shot at the rest of the battlecruisers in a future battle.
